While France has surrendered her

one Of that race has passed from a
world which. perhaps, she had benefit

private Individual Glare, Baroness de
Hirsch, was not only the richest wom-
an in Europe; her whole fortune and
HE itself-a life overshadowed by an
incurable disease-were devoted to
philanthropy. 1t is said that no worthy
cause ever appealed to her in vain. No
thoughtful person can countenance the
common vituperation of race to
which Baroness Hirsch belonged. Even
the thoughtful sometimes seem to for

An effort is being made to intro
duce into England the Nodon-Breton-
neau method for seasoning wood by
means of electricity. By this system
the timber to be seasoned is placed in
a large tank and immersed, all but an
inch or two. in a solution containing
10 per cent of borax, Of resin, and
O.75 of carbonate of soda. The lead
plate upon which it rests is connected
to the positive pole Of dynamo, and
the negative pole being attached to a
similar plate arranged on its upper
surface SO as to give good electrical
contact, the circuit is completed
through the wood. After from five to
eight hours the wood is removed and
dried either by artificial or natural
means. In the latter case fortnight's
exposure in summer weather is said
to render it as well seasoned as stor-
age in the usual way for five years.

Doctor Herman of the University
of Kiel has been feeling the wrists of
the members of bicycle club, imme-
diately after they had pushed their
wheels up moderate ascent. In every
case the pulse was beating at the tate
of one hundred and fifty to one hun
dred and sixty strokes a minute, and
in one man of stouter build it mounted
to one hundred and eighty. As seven
ty-eight is the normal average, it ap-
pears that this kind Of exertion may
quite double the activity of the heart.
The doctor had previously observed
this effect on himself, after wheeling
up the same hill, and he gives warning
that the like result may follow a ride
too long continued or over lumpy
road. He also advises the cycler not
to smoke when riding, and to keep his
mouth shut. SO as to breathe only
through the nose.
