Mahogany Streets in Paris.

The laying down of mahogany road
ways sounds almost like a dream of
oriental magnificence. but it is what
the Paris municipal council are engaged
in at the present moment A portion
Of that almost interminable thorough.
fare, the Rue Lafayette-thatp portion
nearest to the eastern of France rail-
way terminus-has been pulled up.
and workmen are laying down blocks
of real Brazilian mahogany of a pecul-
iarly fine texture and color. 1t is con-
fessedly an experiment. as the ma
hogany is dearer than the woods ordi-
narily used for the same purpose. Ma
hogany. however, is not as dear as it
used to be. The actual cost of the new
roadway will be fifty francs square
meter, which is considera bly, less than
two pounds square yard. 1t is hoped
that the extra outlay incurred will be
more than compensated for by greater
iura bility.-London News

Mankind Meets Them With the Calm Con-
fidence in the Future.
Many are half-inclined to accuse
Providence for allowing great loss of
human life, forgetting that we are all
under capital sentence, and that the
occurrence of deaths wholesale instead
Of in detail can not make much differ
snce in the great scheme, and many
more doubt, if Providence does not
leave the world to go its own way and
provide for it's own needs-a theory
which can not be strengthened by any
individual occurrence. Our reflection
would be a different one-the wonder
full rarity and comparative smallness of
the cataclysms which affect man. Out
side the effects of huge wars, like the
barbarian invasion of Rome, or the
Mohammedan cOnquests, audible his
tory does not record one, not even the
burning of Rome, which has much af-
fected the course of events in the hap
piness of mankind.
Behind history, if Sir n. Howorth is
right, such cataclysms may have oc-
Cured, but within history we know of
none. The very biggest was probably
the outbreak of the black death, which
in 134S-51 destroyed third of our own
population, and certainly detected the
course of its social history. The vol
canic outbnrsts have usually occurred
in thinly-populated districts; among
capitals Lisbon only has been heavily
struck, and it revived, while, though
there have been numberless fanlines,
no famine has ever destroyed race
Wild tribes have passed away, there
is reason to believe, under the attack
epidemic-the people of Fiji nearly
persisted in our own time-and locali
ties have been desolated, but no civil
lied people has died out through dis
ease. Yet there seems no absolute
reason why an epidemic should not
gather strength for months, as it
usually does for weeks. until its raw
ages destroyed nation; why
storm wave should not overwhelm
country like Holland, or why city or
a port, or for that matter vast reach
of inha bited territory in harvest time,
should not perish in fire
Think what masses of inf1ammable
material we gather together, and how
few are the great fires. How much
dynamite is there stored in London or
Liverpool, or, perhaps, unloading at
this very moment in Cardiff? There
is hardly a limit to what fire or
food or the cholera might do, and yet
men live on, full of a reasonable Sc
curity born in all of long experience,
and strengthened in a few by a con-
fidence, not quite so reasona bic, that
Providence will :not suffer huge
calamity. Providence has probably

Every now and then the security is

The Arabs Rich Dress.

A rich man among the Ara bs dresses
ichly. His shirt is fine linen. His in
side vest is buttoned, the outside one
worn loose. A long paletot often takes
the place of the latter. 1t is cut part
way down from the neck, and the loose
armholes allow the arms to be held in
or outside. The wide trousers are
bound about the waist by rich scarf.
Over all is frequently worn the loose
tunic, cut V-shape at the neck, and
with short sleeves low down. The
swell wears European socks. and his
slippers, usually trodden down at the
heel by the common or careless. are
handsomely embroidered or of fine mo-
rocco, red or yellow. The calf is naked.
Parts of his dress are dropped at inter-
yals, according to the weather or habit.
There are few persons more really mag
nifcent than a well-dressed Arab
sheillh or a man Of wealth.-Harper's

MILITARY TRAINING.
Drilling the Conscripts in tho Italia
ARMY.

Drilling the Conscripts in tho Italian
Army.
Military drill, for the single reason
that it demands a cerebral tension as
intense as study does, is to be pro-
scribed. In physical educatio in
order to remedy the fatigue of the
brain, we ought to abolish all studied
movements of military gymnastics
which demand regularity of rhythm OF
the immobility of the soldier. Any
one who has been present at the drill,
ing of conscripts must have noticed
that one-half of the time is passed
standing in listening to the ex-
PLANTATION of the exercises, and the
other half is passed on the stretch to
follow abrupt movements, which are
contrary to nature and which shake the
human frame without helping the
health. Military exercises are the
triumph and perfection of immobility.
Even the tips of the gun barrels mus.
not vacillate in the ranks, though the
IN ovement of unconstrained breathing
is sufficient to cause a wavering.
The United States is the only coun.
try where the experiment of obligatory
target practice has been made. In
1890 law was enacted by which all
persons of eighteen years and more,
availa bic for military service, should
be trained in arms, and no one could
vote without having a paper certifying
he had undergone the drill But in
America also this requirement fell in
to disuse. Only after the war of 1860
was there another mOmentary awak,
ing of the military spirit, and now the
conditions of America in this respect
are like those of Italy and Europe.

MINERAL POINT MURDER.

Terrill, aged about 80 years, deliber-
ately shot five bullets at young man
named Quirk in VIM. Collins saloon,
Saturday morning in Mineral Point.
The saloon is on Main St. and it seems
that young lad came in wearing q
green ribbon IN honor of ST. Patrick S
Day. Terlill was there and began abus-
ing the hoy for wearing the green
badge. Quirk, quiet inoffensive man
interfered in the boys behalf telling
Terrill if he wanted to abuse anybody
to take some one of his size. Terrill
became angry and attacked Quirk. The
bartender tried to separate them and
did so for minute or so, during this
time Terrill stepped behind the bar and
put a revolver in his pocket. Ii seems
that the revolver belongst TO Collins who
owns the saloon and is brother.in-law
to Terrill The men soon were fiphtino
again; the two clinched and Terrlll sud.
denly drew the revolver aud shot Quirk
three times, when Quirk fell on his face.
While on his face on the floor Terrtll
shot him again through the head. OF
the five shots one bullet went through
window and struck a telegraph post
in the street. A brother of Quirk in
terfered at this time and Terrill drew
revolver and snapped it several times at
him. But as it was q five shooter. the
deadly weapon was empty, but the act
showed his evil intention.
TeIrlll is noted as belonging TO a
reckless and quarrelsome family. The
last murder before this in Mineral Point
