LABORG AND LACHAUD.

To complete my snapshots of the
Zola trial. Were Zola man of small
vanity he would not have sat beside
LabOr. l fancy that Victor Hugo in
his Place would have managed to be
detached. He would to have been in
telling relief, have asked for seat in
the dock. The seat of infamy would
lhenceforth, in his eyes, have been eX-
allied into a glorious pedestal. Such
a notion could not present itself to
Zola's mind, which has no sense, so
far as he himself goes of dramatic ef-
feet. In sitting by LabOri he was at
a disadvantage AS said before Zcla
hides pOwer-mental and Cther-La-
bori parades it, without meaning to do
so. He has a splendid physique, and

The fair hair grows down thick on his
forehead. This advocate has ptiancy
and mobil5ty. He possesses the whole
keyboard of the passions and emotions,
but do hope he will not practice much
in Assize courts. Clap-trap and play
acting for juries are so vulgarHlng;
yet the temptation to indulge in them
is scarcely to be resisted.
TIE only great Assize court advo-
cate l can remember who managed not

THE PHILIPPINE TRADE.

While the government disavows any
intention of permanently holding Cuba
and the Philippines, it is apparent that
the war now in progress is going to
prove a costly affair and that Spain
Will have to pay for it. As her ma
tional treasury is, or will be, depleted
it may be necessary for us to hold both
of these colonies Of hers as a guarantee
OF the payment of the indemnity pro-
visions Of the treaty Of peace. This be-
ing true it is well to look at their trade
value. The exports and imports Of Cuba
in time OF peace have already been dis
cussed, but not until recently have
those Of the Philippines attracted so
much attention on this side Of the
water. Collector Thomas, of Philadel-
phia, is authority for the statement
that tine trade between the islands and
Philadelphia amounts to a little less
than million dollars year
The value of imports from the Philip
pine Islands to the United States for
the following fiscal years, ending June

DANGEROUS SMELLS.
Scents That xiii More Surely Than a
Gun Shot Through the
Heart.


Some smells are dangerous. a single
sniff of highly concentrated prussic
acid win kin a man as quickly as a shot
through the heart. The odor of bad
egg is due TO the presence Of sui
phuretted hydrogen, and the objection
able perfumes of sewers and bone fac
tories are attributable chiefly TO the
same gas. Chemical laboratories, says
the Boston Transcript, are famous for
bad smells. Berzelius, who discovered
the element called "selenium," once
tried the experiment of permitting a
bubble of pure hydrogen selenide gas
to enter his nostrn. For days after
wards he was not able to smell strong
ammonia, the olfactory nerves being
temporarily paralyzed. Selenium gas
has the odor of putrid horseradish.
1ellurium is even worse. There is a
story OF a physician whose patient, a
lady, refused to take an absolutely nee
essary rest because she was so fond of
being always on the 60 in society. lie
gave her pill containing a small guam
tity of tellurium, and her breath was
effected by it to such an extent that
she was not able to appear in public for
month. She never guessed what the
trouble was. The volOtized essential
oil Of roses is supposed to cause rose
cold" This peculiar complaint is so
far nervous in its character that paper
roses sometimes excite II.

BICYCLE HEARTS.
HysertroDhy, n New Dfscnse, Caused
5y Excessive Riding OF
the wheel.

Several well-known French cyclists
have lately, it is said, been rejected as
unfit for military service by reason of
hypertrophy and other diseases Of the
heart. Medical men will be rather sur
prised that the numbers are so small.
There must be few of us who have not
seen the i'll effects of overexertion on a
bicycle. The commonest is palpitation
md temporary dilation; but even this
Is sometimes very difficult to cure. In
n case which occurred recently lady,
ordered for fortnight's change of air
utter influenza, chose to spend il in BIZ
cycling about so miles q day. As q re-
suit she has had ever since that time
now nine months ago-a pulse which on
the least exertion rises to 100, though
she has not ridden again. That tempo
rary dilation occurs is enough to show
the great strain put upon the heart, and
it is an added danger that the sense Of
fatigue in the limbs is so slight. The
rider is thus robbed of the warming to
which he is accustomed to attend, and
repeats or continues the strain upon
the heart. As in other similar cases,
the effect is TO render that dilation per-
manent which was at first but tempo
rary and to cause an increase in the
muscle of the heart by repeated exer-
ton. The heart produced is of large di-
mensions and of thick walls-a condi-
tion which may, perhaps, give little un-
easiness to its owner, but which a med
ical man will view with considerable
distrust and apprehension. Weakly and
elderly people cannot be too often told
that no exercise is more easily abused,
though if taken in sensible measure few
are more healthful or enjoyable.

Every day gives added color to the
