Queer Sfndins.

One day, says Henry Bacon in his
book on contemporary French art, when
was coming up the Champs Elysees, a
cab with the green blind down attract
ed my attention. 1t showed that some
one was paying 2 francs an hour for the
privilege of remaining stationary az
long as he might choose to do so. Pres
emily up went the curtain, and there APP
peared the head of Jean Beraud, the
artist.
At his invitation put my head into
the miniature studio to see his last pic
ture. His canvas was perched upon the
seat in front, his color box beside him,
and with the curtain down on one side
to keep out the reflection and to hide
himself from the prying eyes of passers-
by he could paint ut ease through the
opposite window view of the avenue
rs a background to a group of figures.
Who originated this idea it is hard to
say, but for years, since pictures of mod
ern Paris have been so popular, it has
been employed nv many artists.

at the poker table, and that she i'll

The laws of New York and Massa-
chusetts have placed those states in the
foremost rank Of intelligent and liberal
care for the insane. The enactments
regulating the commitment to asylums,
and the care while there, of the insane
and especially the state care act Of New
York. have been in the main wise and
benefcent.
The weak point in the New York law
is that plan for centralizing in state
commission power as to details of man
agement of the hospitals, which was
overwhelmingly defeated in the Massa-
chusetts legislature, has become part of
the New York statute, and that the
lunacy commission, which ought to be
purely supervising and advisory
board, has executive functions which
are not only needlessly vexatious to the
hospital managers and medical officers
and prejudicial to the interests Of their
patients, but also may be destructive of
good morals. The managers and med
ical officers of the hospitals for the in
sane have taken courage from the polit-
ical upheaval in their state and are at
tempting reform, IN which we wish
them every success. Boston Medical

The doctors, in truth, have accumu-
lated great stock Of knowledge as to
food. They know what ought to be
eaten and drunk. They know what
ought to be refused, and they know,
within the limits fixed by climate and
labor, what are the beneficial quantities
to be consumed, but they have entirely
failed to make their knowledge perme-
ate the world. The educated have only
glimmering ideas as to what their chill
dren should eat. Half of them, till q
few years ago, had a sort of horror of
sugar, one of the most nOurishing of all
substances--and the uneducated have
positively no ideas on the subject. They
just eat and give their children what
they can get. 1t may be said that this is
inevitable, because the majority in all
countries are too poor to do anything
else, but is that true?
We are not pretending to be experts,
but if we understand what professionals
say much of the best food produced in
the world is also the cheapest. Oatmeal,
for example, is very much better than
wheat bread and infinitely better than
rye bread, and it is cheaper than either.
Hardly anything i'll the world is as
nourishing as lentils, which might be
sold much cheaper than bread, and
eaten, too, with dripping, an invaluable
combination. Millet, on which the big
races of India grow SO tall and strong,
might, if there were demand for it in
Europe, be far cheaper than wheat, and
so might "corn -four, on which Ken
tuckians the strongest race in America,
are bred, though that requires mixtures
with less heterogeneous diet.-London

CT Of poetry, Walter Scott's opening
lines in tho Lady Of the Lake, " where
he describes the chase Of the stag. The
stag escapes and evades his pursuers,

chased the stag several miles. but lost

The antlered monarch Of the waste

But ere his fleet career he took
The dewdrops from his TANKS he shook:
Like crested leader, proud and high.
Toss'd his beamed frOntlet to the sky;

\ moment snufTed the tainted gale,
\ moment listened to the cry
That thicken'd as the chase drew nigh.
Then as the hcadmost foes appear'd,
With one brave bound the copse he clear'd,
And stretching forward free and far
Sought the wild hcaths OF Tam Var.

HOW WE WALK.
The Muscles Used aud the Mechanical WORK
That They do.


The chief muscles concerned in walk.
ing are those in the calf and back Of
leg, which, 10y pulling up the heel, also
pull up the bones OF the foot connected
with il, and thea the whole body, tire
weight OF which is passed on through
tho bones of the leg When walking,
the trurk is thrown forward so that it
would fall down PROSTATE were not the
right foot planted in time to support il.
Tho calf muscles are helped in this ac-
ton by those on the front of the trunk
and legs, which contract and pull the
body forward, and tho trunk, slanting
forward whom the heel is raised by the
calf muscles, the whole body will be
raised and pushed forward and upward.
This advancement Of each leg is effect
I'd partly by muscular action, the mus
cles used being Cd those on the front of
the thigh, bonding it forward on the
pelvis; (2) the hamstring muscles, which
slightly bend the leg on the thigh; (8)
the muscles on the front of the leg,
which raise the front of the foot and
toes, preventing the latter, III swinging
forward, from hitching in the ground.
When one foot has reached the
ground, the action of the other has not
ceased. There is another point in walk
/ ing. The body is constantly supported
and balanced on each leg alternately
and therefore on only one at once. Hence
there must be some means for throwing
the center of gravity over the line of
support formed hy tho bones Of each leg,
as it supports the weight Of the body.
This is done in various ways, and hence
the difference in the walk of different
people. There may be slight rotation at
the hip joint, bringing the center of
gravity Of the body over the foot of this
side. This rocking" motion of the
trunk and thigh is accompanied by a
movement of the whole trunk and leg
over the foot planted on the ground and
is accompanied by a compensating out
ward movement at the hip. The body
rises and swings alternately from one
side TO the other rs Is center Of gravity
comes alternately over one or the other
leg, and the curvature Of tho spinal
bones is altered with the varying posi-
lion Of the weight London Hospital.
