'l'mniek to the bookmaker. Almost the whole of this budget of gambling, greater than the cost of the national education, bas been levied on the people of Paris on the suburban race courses and at Chantilly." Race Track Gambling at Paris. ‘The Paris correspondent of a London rewspaper represents an awful condition <faffairs in Paris in his statement about the gambling of the working classes in that ‘ity. *"Our knowledge of the money laid out in betting," he says, is very imperfect, the statistics just published being 13 months behindhand, and then only the figures of the ‘pari mutuel‘ are available, No estimate can be formed of the business done by the bookmakors and by agencies, who even when professing to take their clients‘ money to the ‘pari mutuel," and charging the official duty, pass the bets through a sort of agents clearingâ€"house, thus adding the amount of the tax to their own commission. Still, the sums paid to the ‘pari mutnel‘ in the course of the year come up to £7,560,000 sterling, contributad, it mey be noticed, by the sovereign masses :l. universal um Arhtm:x:d backers ve no liking for jostling garlic of the ‘pari mutuel‘ crowds, nor for the sxcessive dues claimed thare by kitty.

It has been generally supposed that the trains of music have a peculiar influence n subduing the untamed spirit of wild animais, This belief may possibly have been inculcated by the line *"‘Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast. That this notion is a mistaken one is now. agreed by all who have made a practical test of the mattter. . Dogs sometimes show their appreciation of music by emitting sympathetic howls. Cats, on the other hand, are apparently disgusted with harâ€" monious sounds as produced by human ugency, and at once retire to a distance wolacing themselves with their own vocal renditions. Singing birds, however, are charmingly affected, and trill as if their little breasts would break in the effort to surpass theperformer. Hyenas,rhinoceroses, hy popotamuses, pigs, ostriche»,deer, llamas, tigers, lions, and leopards apparently are not affected by music, excepting that they occasionally show some curiosity. _ ea In the human race, nevertheless, i it be considered as a whole, we must acâ€" knowledge that the male has a much more developed muscular and bony sysâ€" tem than the female, and has more serâ€" ious claims to be regarded as a powerful machine. Among differences of greater or less importance noted by Prof. Walâ€" deyer were the facts that the index finâ€" ger in the female frequently extends beâ€" yond the middle finger, and that her teeth formation is often very different from that of the male, as is also the skull. Special stress was laid by him upon the difference in the weight of the brain, and in the development of partiâ€" cular parts of that organ in the two sexâ€" es, differences which are observable from birth. The most memorable difference, however, and that which to this eminent anatomist appears decisive as regards the question of woman‘s sphere, is the difference in blood. There is a differâ€" ence in the thickness of the blood, and it is signally to the advantage of the male. The blood that courses in the arteries and veins of women is relatively poor in blood cells. To speak scientificâ€" ally, one cubic centimetre of blood taken from a man is found to contain on an average 5,000 red blood _ corpuscles, whereas, the same quantity in a woman has no more than four and a half thouâ€" sand. It is well known that these red blood cells are absolutely indispensable to the processes of animal life. They constitute the very quintessence of exâ€" istence. Vitally and dynamically, then, a woâ€" man is but nineâ€"tenths of a man. The practical conclusion drawn by the Gerâ€" man anatomist from this scientific fact is that woman‘s sphere ought not to be widened by extending it to occupations and professions now confined to men. We should, he contended, be extremely eareful not to overstep the limits clearâ€" Iy laid down by nature herself in the physical organization of the female. In the judgment of Prof. Waldeyer the advocates of woman‘s soâ€"called emanciâ€" pation shou!d not forget that the task imposed by the very constitution of her bloodupon the human female, is to emâ€" ploy her activity as * cultureâ€"bearer" within the family circle. We add that the Professor‘s exposition of scientific facts, and his practical deductions from them were received by the Anthropoâ€" logical Congress, not only without a word of contradiction or protest, but with emphatic applause. ; The learned anatomist began with the genoral an 1 undispu‘ed affirmation that when we reviow the evolution of organâ€" isms, we find that the higher the genus and the species the greater is the differâ€" ence between the sexes. Of the less deâ€" veloped plants and animals there are many that perpetuate themselves withâ€" out any sexual arrangements whatever; the unicellular individuals multiply themselves by dividing or by sprouting. Even in certain of the higher organisms, while the combination of the two sexes in one individual occurs, it is only as an exception. The sea perch is an examâ€" ple. As a rule the higher the organism, the sharper and desper is the difference which the sexes exhibit. The difference is sometimes carried to extraordinary extremes. Thus in the conicella viridis the male is only a wretched little paraâ€" site found in the intestinal canal of the female, which latter is far more develâ€" oped. Prof. Waldeyer would not denyi that bere and there human beings of the masculine gender are encountered, whn,‘ in comparison with their feminine partâ€" ners, recall the male of the conicella viridis. Are there conclusive physiological reaâ€" sons why woman‘s sphere of activity should be different from man‘s? To this question an unqualified answer is returned in the affirmative by a disâ€" tinguished German anatomist, _ Prof. Waldeyer of Berlin. In a paper which he read at the recent meeting of the German Anthropological Congress at Cassel, he undertook to remove the woâ€" man‘s rights question from the domain of speculative and sent imental discuss on and to place it on a new‘ and wholly sciâ€" entific footing. He maintained that woman, subjected to wellâ€"known scienâ€" tific tests, could be shown to possess much less of vital energy than man, and is therefore disabled from competing with him in most of his occupations. extremes. . l hu: the male is only site found in th female, which 1: exception ple.

As Lord Sartoris goes in, a young man, who has been standing at one of the windows, turns and comes quickly to meet him. He is of good height, and is finely formed, with brown hair cut closely to his head, a brown musâ€" tache, and deepâ€"blue eyes. His whole appearance is perbaps more pleasing and aristocratic than strictly handâ€" some, his mouth being too large and his nose too pronounced for any parâ€" ticular style of beauty. Yet it is his eyesâ€"perfect as they are in shape and colorâ€"that betray the chief faults of his disposition. He is too easyâ€"going, too thoughtless of conâ€" sequences, too much given to letting things go,â€"without consideration or fear of what the end may bring; too full of life and spirits to»t‘izy to dream of a sadder morrow ;â€"so happy in the present that the future troubles him not at all. iT Enoinia ‘ "*How ill you look!" he says, anxâ€" jously, addressing his uncle. * My dear Arthur, you have been overdoing it.

Now, she too is dead and gone, and the room, though never entirely closed or suffered to sink into disrepair, is seldom used by any of the household.

John â€" Phillips, who shot Lawyer Cruickshanks and afterwards committed suicide was a native of Ireland. _ He came to this country about 50 years ago, settling on a farm about four miles from Cobourg. _ After a few years of successful farming he and his brother MURDER AND SUICDME, Mr. Phillips Found Dead in St. Peter‘s Cemeteryâ€"Death _ of Kis Vietimâ€"aA Legal Dispute Led to the Tragedyâ€"A nhocking Affair. A despatch from Cobourg says:â€" John Phillips, who shot Lawyer Cruickâ€" shanks in his officc on Wednesday night, was found next morning in St. Peter‘s Cemetery, lying over his daughâ€" ter‘s grave with his brains blown out. A revolver by his side told too plainly that a suicide had taken place. Mr. Baker, who had gone to the cemetery to arrange for a funcral discovered the remains, and at once notified Chief of Police Rankin and County Crown Atâ€" torney Kerr, who took charge of the body. AN AWFUL TRAGEDY IN THE TOWN OF COBOURG. munity MR. CRUICKSHANKS DEAD, FATAL GUN ACCIDENT. A Tea Drunkard. A LEGAL TROUBLE At Length. Sm hn t Years aéu when the farmers had few of the soâ€"called ‘" modern improvements" they had little trouble carrying their lwmter's supply safely through the winâ€" itgr, but with the introduction of hotâ€" |air furnaces and similar methods _ of ihmlting, many farmers, to say nothing of the people of the towns and cities, , find that it is no longer easy to preserve ‘them, and it will alwafis be best, if heatâ€" ing apparatus of any kind is located in | the cellar, to partition off a Yormop as a ‘frmt and vegetable room. In building {the walls, the same methods should be ‘employed to keep the heat out as are | usually found of value in preventing its escape. Whether wf brick or wood, there should be one or more air spaces, and in a wooden wall building paper can be used to advantage. There should also be abundant means of ventilating the room, so that the temperature can be readily controlled. __ _ _ _ _ | _The apple seems to adapt itsell to alâ€" most any condition of storage and keeps about equally well in bins and in open and closed barrels, except that the Jongâ€" keeping varieties will be less likely to shrivel in closed barrels, if the air is inâ€" clined to be dry. The winter and late fall varieties of pears can also be preâ€" served for considerable length of time, under about the same conditions as for apples. ‘They should be packed in boxes or baskets, or arranged on shallow trays. Although the grape is usually classed among the perishrble fruits, many of our best varieties can be kept until the New Year without the use of ice, and that, too, with but little more care than should be given to apples, except that more attention must be given to the degree of moisture in the room. If g;'apes are put away in small baskets or xes, they will keep for considerable lcnfths of time, provided they are kept cool and are moist enough so that they do not shrivel and drop from the stems, on the one hand, and not so moist as to cause decay, on the other. hok seemingly rigorous treatment is not adâ€" vised simply to favor a fad or innovaâ€" tion. A pure winter stable is a strict essential to complete dairy success, and the average cow stable is ga.r from being a healthful hbabitation for milch stock. Reform has got to come in this direction, and the quicker we get it the better. While wml,in{‘e(or an era of â€" improvâ€" ed stables to built, let the old ones be so thoroughly renovated that they will not injure the health of the cows or the quality of their milk. A cow breathing vitiated air cannot be healthy herself or yield healthful milk. Lack of complete ventilation, odors from excreta, and dearth of sunâ€" shine and light, all go in the same cateâ€" gory. ‘They change the tow from a healthy, robust animal into a sickly, puny one. I have talked with men who said they could not make winter dairyâ€" ing rny. and on looking at their cow stables found them dirty, unventilated and dark. Housed in such quarters the animals soon lose appetite, shrink in milk and are in danger of contracting tuberculois. Hence a rigil stable cle nâ€" ing this fall, and every fall and spring hereafter, is urged. Besides #the imâ€" mense benefits accruing from the sysâ€" tem, it should be regarded as a necesâ€" sity, for so it is from every intelligent point of view. Two men in one day can quite thoroughly clean i@an ordinary stable in the manner described, so the cost is insignificant. Even if it took them three or four days, the profit reâ€" sulting would pay them for the outlay man{ times over. Lay in a supply of dry loam or land plaster (gypsum), to sprinkle daily in the stable as an abâ€" sorbent ; the plaster is especially effectâ€" IvC. ibe rapidlty and _ thoroughly _ done. Chloride of lime as a chenl) decdorant and germicide for the stable floor, canâ€" not be improved upon. Sprinkle it on during the general cleaning, and then scrub off with hot water. An abundâ€" ance of sunlight is one of the greatest blessings of the winter dairy stable, and yet but few stables receive much beneâ€" fit this way. Sunlight is death to tubâ€" erculosis germs. The stable windows are vsually like windows in a gristmill, obscured bf' dust. They should be tight and kept clean, and be sufficient in munâ€" ber to light every part of the stable as thoroughly as a dwelling house. Finalâ€" ly the stone walls of the stable and the ceiling overhead should be whitewashed, and you will have it in proper shape for the habitation of dairy cows. Rememâ€" ber that I am talking now about stables built on the old plan, in which nineâ€" tenths of the cows of America are housâ€" ed. The new upâ€"toâ€"date stable, with impervious floor and {drop Â¥uncr. is much easier kept‘clean and healthful. But the old buildings, substanti&ll)" erqcted'i'cars ago and still in good rc-‘ pair, will be kept in use for many m-J sons yet, and the care of these is what demands special attention. The above| A stable with a plank floor and numâ€" erous posts and stanchions, presents A good. deal of woodwork to absorb and retain animal odors and excreta. Not only this, but the walls and mangers become dirty and offensive also. . The remedy, and the only effective one, is scrubbing and cleansing at least twice a year. â€" Whether or not there is any suspicion of tuberculosis, a germicide should be used, and the very best is bichloride of mercury, or corrosive subâ€" limate. This can be used in cleansing as one of the efficient preventatives of tuberculosis or other bovine discases and vermin. It should be used in & strength of one quart to 3000 or 4000 of water and the solution be employed in scrubbing all woodwork of the stable, particularly the stanchions and mangâ€" ers. By using a scrubbing brush atâ€" tached to m stout bandle, the work can hatSvrantitv Cand"\Xhorougrhliy done. Make the Dairy Stables Clean and Healthful. Dairy stables are seldom set in order for fall and winter occupancy. Cows find their habitations now as when they left them in the spring. There has been no house cleaning, or rather . stable cleaning, and consequently a cow stable thus neglected cannot be in sanitary shape. I( you really want to conduct dairying along advanced and profitable lines (and what dairynian does not ?) you must change the average . stable from an unbealthful den to a clean, sweet apartment. If there isn‘t any tuberculosis among your cows now there may be, and by neglecting to renovate and purify the stable you constantly invite this dread disease. Then, again, I never saw cattle lice prevalent in a perfectly sweet stable, and I doubt if they will multiply there, writes Geo. R. NewelL. _ ~ AGRICULTURAL, e 9e e ventilation, dearth of sunâ€" the same cateâ€" trow from a into a sickly, with men who winter dairyâ€" With indigestion it is not only that ’ one suffers all imaginable torments, physical and mental, but more, perâ€" haps, than anything else, an impaired dizestion is the forerunner of countâ€" less ailments that in their course lead to the most serious consequences.

McKEBECHNIE GALBRAITH It is stated by the Popular Health Mag azine that ‘‘redness of the nose" is csus d by indigestion, not intemperance.
