known Western physician to o Star
writer recently. "A little instance
came within my own observation
number of years ago, when was study
ing medicine, that convinced me that
the members of the horse family should,
at least, be credited with the possession
of very considerable amount of
reasoning power.
1T was the custom for the students
at the medical institution at which |
pursued my studies to wear a small
badge upon their coats to distinguish
them from others at the college. A
horse belonging to the establishment
was used great tieal about the medi-
cal department, and the animal seemed
to have special preference for the
embryo doctors. Well, one day, while
number of ps were gathered in q
little circle upon lawn in the rear of
the college, the animal in question,
which used to be turned loose to nip
the grass in the location, came toward
the group limplng very badly. He came
to stop dozen or more feet away
from the crowd and, carefully survey
ing the lot OF US, finally made up his
mind what he wanted to do, and with
out any hesitation limped directly to

New Yoniiiatine Machinery.
The ventilation Of tunnels in Europe
has attracted considerable attention
during the last few years, and various
devices have boon employed to lessen
the discomforts to passengers whlie
passing through long tunnels, says the
New York Evening Post. On some
railways remedy has been found IN
substituting oil-burning or electric
locomotives for the trip through the
tunnel, and on others recourse IS mad
TO artificial ventilation. The question
Of air supply at the st. Gothard tunnel,
in Switzerland, has been discussed for
several years. as the increasing number
of trains has materially altered con-
ditious. Formerly workmen could be
employed in the tunnel, without ln-
Jury, particularly during the night.
when there we're but few trains, and
the natural currents OF air sufiiced, but
with the adoption of train schedules
calling for number of night trains IN
addition to q large increase in the
number passing through during the
day, conditions changed, increasing
tho discomfort of employees and pas
sengers, and finally it was necessary to
diminish the number OF trains.
Recently the question of adopting
some mechanical means Of keeping the
mir pure was brought forward, and a
number of plans discussed. Smoke
burning and oil burning engines were
| tried, but without success, IL being
| found that injurious gases were given
off from oil fuel, as well rs from coal.
The distribution of air from reservoirs
or pipes was also proposed, and found
impracticable and, ut last, u plan of
NJ. Saccardo, chief inspector of the
northern railroads of Italy, was adopted.
| This system, which is used in the
| tunnels of the Apenniues, consists of
| forcing volume OF air at high speed
| into an annular chamber, which en-
circles The whole circumference of the
! tunnel at one end. From this chamber
the air escapes on tho inside face of
the tunnel, and is either drawn out or
forced in SO rs to produce an artificial
current that shall assist or supplant the
natural current. The plant is installed
at Goeschenen, at tho north end Of the
tunnel, and will net, Tor the most part,
! to push the air out. US from north to
south is tho ordinary direction of the

last March, consists Of two blowers
revolving at rate of 70 revolutions per
minute, and they have succeeded in
transforming moderate south to north
current into one in the opposite di.
rection. velocity of 80 metres pei
second. Tho work of thu machinery
is said to be quite satisfactory, and
repairs to track and tunnel can bt
carried on with facility. From tht
travellers standpoint the chief advan,
tage is the quick disappearance Of the
smoke, the dampness and tho nauseous

than Lady Macbeth. His Illuminating
mind clearly foresaw tho personal as
well as political score OF the murder.
He had clear conception of the evil
bofore the act. Lady Macbeth's knowl-
edge did not come to her till after
wards. and indeed then not imme-
diately. So long as the death OF
Duncan alone was conceI ned she was as
bold and valiant in action after as,
before that deed, and this because then
as before, she held it to be stroke OF
State policy and not q personal crime.
Macoeth--This is a sorry sight.
Lady Macbeth-A foolish thought to say
a sorry sight.
Here the personal fault SO clearly
conceived by Macbeth before the act,
is coming home 10 taunt him. After
dissuading him from his interpretive
musings she cries out,
lniirm of purpose
Give me the daggers the sleeping and the
dead
Are but as pictures; It's the eye of childhood
That fears a painted devil.
As yet she had not seen the personal
guilt as Macbeth saw it clearly before
his decd and when the alarms ring she
still shows her capacity for acting her
Fart,
What's the business,
That such n hideous trumpet calls to parley
The sleepers Of the house?
With bold address. she conceals all
knowledge of the deed. She Keeps a
bold front as long as she secs only q
stroke of State policy But the end is
swiftly coming. With the murder Of
the two guards she secs tho husband of
her bosom, the pride Of Scotland, tho
hope and expectation of the State, sink
to tho level of a common butcher. She
would have been what tho interested
and ungallant Malcolm afterwards
called her, tiend- like queen, had not
her spirit broken Mt that sight. She
then sees tho horror of it all. In tho
language OF Weiss "She has had no
chance to calculate what effect this
murder will have upon human sensi-
bilities when they are taken by it un-
awares. She sees the awfulness of it
suddenly reflected from the faces and
gestures OF Macdufi, Banquo and the
rest. 1t beats at tho gate across which
she has braced a woman's arm, and
breaks it in and mob of reproaches
rush ovor her. What nave those deli-
cate hands been doing? Help
the revulson of nature in feminine
soul. Love has exalted all its hearth
hood into the deed which is just now
discovered. She, too, has only now
really discovered it. The nerves part
mt tho overstrain of seeing what the
deed is like and drop her helpless in a
swoon." Had she, like Macbeth, seen
the horror of it before the act, her
woman soul would hare recoiled from
the deed. She continued to be the I'M
willing witness of murders, she did not
advise, and which she could not pre-
vent. She saw her husband, at whose
side she stayed in wifely support, run
his course in blood until that first
swoon deepened and deepened, grew
and grew, until her very soul was
snapped in twain. In conclusion,
submit that my proposition is estab-
lished that at most Lady Macbeth was
only an accessory, that Macbeth stands
out pre-eminent in guilt as the prin-
oipal of the crime and that he should
no longer have the privilege practiced
by man since tho time of Adam of cry

THEY GATHER CIGAR ENDS.
The Partisan Clan Proposes to Form a
Syndicate.

=
Syndicate.
Every visitor to Paris has observed
the ragged individuals who perambu-
late the boulevard and peer in among
the tables and chairs in front of the
cafes in search of cigar and cigarette
ends, which they deftly harpoon by
means OF bent pins on the end of
stick. The negottiers, rs they are
called, are now trying to form mil
tual protection syndicate. Their reason
is that the police interfere with them
too much. considering they are peace
able folk, and that the craft, never
lucrative one, is thus rendered almost
impossible. Such, it appears, is espe-
cially the case in summer, when the
streets are clean and the best customers
of the megottiers pick up their own
tobacco. Tho fact that this ia the bad
season probably accounts for the pres
ent little agitation.
This singular trade occupies three
classes Of perscns--the picker, the
cleaner and the salesman. Everybody
has seen the picker at work, and OBJ
served how he combines begging there
with. In the evening the pickers meet
at low wine shops in the Faubourd OH
Temple, where they find the clearngs
awaiting them. Newspapers arc spread
on the tables, and tho cleaners set to
work to undo the cigars and cigarettes.
Meanwhile the pickers eat their bread
and sausage, and by spending three
halfrence on glass of wine obtain the
right to sleep in the establishment as
best they can until o'clock in the
morning. At that hour tho vino shops
are closed. But they open again at 3,
whom both pickers and cleaners enter,
and by taking another glass OF wine
each may sleep till the morning. Dur
ing this interval of closing and open
ing the tobacco. put up in packets, has
been handed over to the salesman, who
disposes Of it in workmen's quarters
like tho Place Maubert as the men pass
on their way to work. The purchasers
consist chiefly of masons, who all come
from the country districts of Limousin
and Grouse, and arc delighted to get a
large packet of tobacco for two rence.
There exist, moreover, real tobacco
shop keepers who purchase the vile
stuff and mix it with good tobacco, the
profits derived therefrom being nntur.
ally considerable. This practce does
not, however, exist to any great extent.

never does anything wicked as tho

permits him to be forced to action pre-
ciLitately, but everything is done after
the alchemy of his mind has acted on
his projects. Ills is not the con-
strained action of mind cramped by
environment, necessity or heredity.
But it is tho action of highly Gull
tured intelligence deliberately SHINING.
| His habit of reflection, of mental pois-
ing, fooled Lady Macbeth. She
thought it was the milk OF human
kindness that caused him to pause in
catching the nearest way. But the
subtcrfuge OF Macbeth was only an
illustration of what Bodenstedt calls
his "egotistic hypocrisy But he
did not entirely fool Lady Macbeth.
She held him in some respects % weak
man, as appears from her disparaging
commentary on his character.
Yet do l fear thy nature;

Is not that the picture of a hypo-
