Bad ventilation deforms more children
and destroys more health than accident
or plague. There is reason to believe
that not few of the scrofulous diseases
common among children proceed from
the ignorant habit of being put to sleep
in beds and perambulators with the
head under the bed clothing, and so in
haling air already breathed and further
contaminated by exhalations from the
skin. Plain talk is heard at the clinics
of great city. 1t is the only way to
impress the dense. "Look here" the
pathologist was saying to woman,
"you are smothering the life out of your
child's lungs. How would you like to
drink the water you wash in? Well,
when you cover the baby's head you
force him to use air that is just as bad
and Just US impure"

was heard the City Hall bell tolled.
The same phenomenon occurred twice
more, on each occasion the single toll of
the bell following the lightning flash,
indicating that the lightning had been

The bell struck repeatedly during the
continuance of the storm, and from the

Thevenot, the French traveller, on his
return from the Orient in 1858, treated
his guests TO after-dinuer coffee. To
Parisians this was merely an eccen-
tricity that would not have become
fashionable but for a similar example
set by Soliman Aga, the gallant Turkish
ambassador, in 1869. He enlisted the
enthusiasm of court ladies in favor of
the black and bitter liquor. Philoso-
pliers and litterateurs gladly gave in
their adhesion. Boileau, La Fontaine,
Moliere, Voltalre and the encyclopedias,
together with the chess players, found
inspiration in the coffee houses, which
thenceforward assumed conspicuous
position in the social life of Gallo
cities. "Sacne and coffee will pass,

The Head of the Assassin Cut on by the
Guillotine Last Thursday-Died Shout
ing for Anarchy.
Lyons, Aug. 16.-Santo Caserio, the
young Anarchist, paid, early this morn
ing, the penalty for the murder of Presi-
dent Carnot at the Lyons fetes, on the
evening of Sunday, June gath.
The scene of the execution is about
so meters from the prison. Three hours
before the time set for the execution a
detachment of troops, comprising the
Ninty eighth Battalion of Infantry and
two squadrons Of the Seventh Cuiras-
siers, took possession of the ground.
They were reinforced later by gendarmes
and policemen.
Deibler, the eXecutioner, arrived at 3
o'clock, bringing with him the we'll.
known guillotine. The van conveying
the guillotine was escorted by gen
darmes on horseback. The operation
of erecting the machine occupied about
an hour.
There was heavy shower during the
night, which had the effect of driving
away nearly all the curiosity seekers,
who gathered only to witness the exc
cution. At 3 O'clock there were hardly
100 persons waiting. Some time before
daylight the weather improved, and the
curious began to gather again.
A few minutes before 5 o'clock the
condemned man was led from his cell to
the guillotine.
His arms were firmly bound behind
him. When the attendants seized him
to lay him under the knife, he struggled
tiercely to free himself. AT 455 O'Clock
all was ready. Caserio shouted
Courage. comrades !" "Long live
anarchy !"
The knife fell at 8 O'Clock precisely
and Caserlo's head dropped into th'
basket.
1t was only two days ago that tn,
Board of Pardons finally decided
against all appeals for clemency.
