The rapidity •with which France was repairing sfche disasters of the war and the ease with which she met the finan cial obligations it imposed on her as tonished .Europe and perturbed the statesmen at J3erlin. Her military force was being judiciously reconstructed, and it seemed .also as if the calculation of Prince Bismarck as regards the con stitution of her internal government might be falsified. The German chan cellor desired to see»established what a Russian diplomatist happily described as a repnblique dissolvante. Notwithstanding his efforts to bring this result about and the impracticable character of the Comte de Chambord, which rendered the restoration of mon archy for a time impossible, there were indications that a stable system of gov ernment would be founded which would enable France to recover a strong posi tion in the community of nations. Prince Bismarck was resolved this should not be, and suddenly, in May, 1875, Prince Hohenlohe, the present chancellor of the German empire, who was then em bassador in Paris, appeared at the French foreign office and asked for ex planations regarding the scheme for the reconstruction of the French army. The Due de Broglie, in his interesting ac count of the embassy of M. de Gontaut Biron to Berlin, describes the consterna tion which followed this attempt to pro voke another quarrel with France. An other war seemed inevitable. England and Russia interfered to prevent it. Prince Bismarck could easily have dis regarded the remonstrances of both. England would certainly not take up arms if he paid no attention to her rep resentations, and Russia would have thought twice before incurring the hos tility of Germany in view of coming events in the Balkan peninsula. The fact, though not generally known, is that the greatest influence in prevent ing war was that of the Grand Duke of Baden. While the relations with France were becoming complicated the Emperor William happened to be staying at the Meinau, the. seat of the Grand Duke of Baden, on tho Lake of Constance. One morning the grand duchess, who was the emperor's daughter, came into her father's study and showed him a num ber of extracts from the press. He per ceived at once that the country was drifting into war, and, after a consulta tion with his son-in-law, who was strongly opposed to provoking a war, which, however successful for the mo ment, would have been most disastrous to the name and character of Germany, the aged monarch went off that very evening to Berlin, and Prince Bismarck had to beat a retreat.—Quarterly Re view, A Dangerous Musical Instrument It has been discovered that the oboe is the most dangerous instrument that is played on—dangerous to the player. A profound German medical authority says that it is doubtful if a healthy man playing any instrument in a correct method ever suffers through playing upon any reed or brass instrument, but those who have any weakness of the heart or circulation may be injured by playing any wind instrument. As it is quite easy for a musician to inspire between the phrases of the music, but impossible for him to expire without overblowing his instrument, it follows that the instruments that re quire the least expenditure of breath are the more injurious for the reason that the player must hold his breath for long intervals. This is the case with both the oboe and the flute. The charge is probably true that the curious tickling of the lips that is caused by the double reed mouthpiece of the instrument frequent ly causes cancer. The eminent scientist who has dis covered these things about the compar atively harmless oboe should now as certain whether accordion and concer tina playing does not superinduce mus cular paralysis in an aggravated and in incurable form. —New York Journal. Henr James. It is said that Henry James, the nov elist, maintains that single blessedness is the only condition for an artist or genius, giving as a reason that the de tails of domestic life exhausts fine nerves and delicate mental fiber. He confirms his theory by living in bachelor cham bers in London, entertaining his friends charmingly, and in turn being enter tained by them, and yet, although sur rounded by bright, attractive women, his heart still holds its allegiance to self. For many centuries the Chinese have dated all their public acts, documents and chronology from the accessions of the emperors. There is an alchemy of quiet malice by which women can concoct a subtle poison from ordinary trifles.—Haw thorne. Artifice is weak. It is the work of mere man, in the imbecility and self distrust of his mimic understanding.— Hare. PEDESTRIANS' PLEASURES. Remarks In Behalf of «he -Old Qrtcinal Mode oT Travel. ,?Cf, It is to be hoped that the good old custom of pedestrianism will not fall into disuse. The bicycle rider has, per haps, gained more than he has lost, bat he has lost something, and that by no means unimportant) It is a great eco nomic gain to minimize time and dis tance to so considerable an extent The enjoyment in this way of the air and exercise and the poetry and exhilaration of easy and rapid motion is delightful, bnt this sensuous satisfaction is likely to be obtained at the expense of mental itimulus. The bicycle rider cannot tarry to study the tint or texture of the flow ers or breathe their fragrance. He can not listen to the songs of birds or the music of the brooks. His course is over the world's conventional tracks, and, though nature speaks in countless tongues, he hardly catches so much as the echo of any of them. The woodlands and the byways, where lurk the choicest manifestations of beauty, he cannot visit. On his nightly runs he sees only the :shining road before him reflecting the light of the moon and stars, but he cannot lift his eyes to the milky way or view the still more glorious tenantry of the heavens. It does not seem a violent hypothesis that this condition of things must tend to weaken those habits of observation upon which so much that is great in art, science and literature depends, and that this will be deplorably apparent in the next generation unless some counter interest can be developed. It is a serious question whether a White of Selborne, a Burroughs or a Thoreau could have been produced on an exclusive bicycle basis. Their natural tendencies might have overcome all obstacles of environ ment, but observation is a plant that starts early and grows'by what it feeds upon, and amid surroundings and influ ences like the present they might not so easily have been inducted into those de lightful and congenial labors that have so sweetened the literature of our time. The bicycle interest has come to stay and to grow until some more potent at traction shall supplant it. But to bal ance it and prevent social one sidedness and mental deterioration we need the extension and multiplication of such organizations as the Appalachian club, which will soon start upon an outing not to annihilate space, but to become acquainted with the wealth which occu pies it and in acquiring health and strength also to acquire information. It is something to know the world of men, but it is infinitely more important to know intimately the world of nature, for upon that knowledge rests all that man ever has acccomplished or ever can accomplish. The fastest scorcher may get to the end of life's journey the soon est, but he will not arrive with as much baggage as the more moderate and ob servant wayfarer.—Boston Transcript. The Last of Boodle's. Another old landmark is about to disappear. Boodle's is one of the histor ical clubs of London, a connecting link with the days of "dandies" and fox hunting squires. More than half a cen tury ago Praed wrote: In parliament I fill my seat Along with other noodles: In Jermyn street I lay my head And sip my hock at Boodle's. The proprietress of Boodle's is dead, and, as there is now no one to carry on the club, it must come to an end unless the members acquire the property. But there are only some 500 members, and this number would have to be doubled in order to run it as a members' club. But, then, Boodle's would lose its dis tinctive charm, which lies in the fact that in its lofty, old fashioned rooms one is really at home. It is the only club in London where one is unelbowed by a crowd and whe^e one is never asked to pay for anything A member's house account is sent him only when he asks for it. Some en terprising gentleman like Mr. Algernon Bourke may possibly reorganize the club upon the lines of White's, but it will be the old Boodle's no more. Electric light and cash payment will supersede wax candles and the convenient "slate."— Saturday Review. Royalty at the Camera. When the Princess of Wales visits the photographer she usually arranges that hert sitting shall take place in the morning. A special studio is set apart for the princess and other members of the royal family. It is approached by i. private door, which leads to an ante room provided with easy chairs and a plentiful supply of illustrated papers. A small chamber is fitted up as a dress ing room, and here is to be found a maid from Marlborough House, who has preceded her royal mistress with a dressing case containing brushes and other toilet accessories. The princess, having discussed the position in which vhe is to be taken, arranges herself and Ihe operation proceeds. It is etiquette on these occasions for the photographer to address any remark he may have to make to the lady in waiting in attend ance, who in turn addresses the princess, who replies through her also, bnt it is needless to say that etiquette is dis pensed with by the princess in many cases.—London Letter. Healthful Schoolrooms. An ideal, but, we are assured, quite necessary state of cleanliness for health ful schoolrooms requires that the floors shall be dampened and swept every day, with all the windows open, the dust ing to be done the next morning with a damp cloth. In addition to this clean ing, Dr. Adams, who is the president of the Orange County Medical sooieties, believes that at least every other day the floors should be thoroughly scrubbed with soap and water. The various wo men's clubs throughout the country whose members are interested in the faork of the public schools will do- well to find out Low near the schoolrooms where their children spend the greater part of their waking hours approach this state. -—New York Post. «RtaalcaUn Is Coasldered at Pasta o- Greenlan'ders have no regular meal times, but eat when' they are hungry. They seem able to go without food for a xemarkably long period and also to eat at a sitting the most astonishing quantity. Among their principal dain ties is the skin of different kinds of whales. They call it matak, and look upon it as the acme of deliciousness. It is taken off with the layer of blubber next to it and is eaten raw without cere mony. An arctio oxplorer, in his recent •Work, declares that he must offer the Eskimo his sincerst congratulations on the invention of the dish. an assure you—the reader—that now, as I write of it my mouth waters at the very thought of matak, with its indescribably delicate taste of nuts and oysters mingled. And then it has this advantage over oysters, that the skin is as tough as india rubber to masticate, so that the ej3joyrnent can be protracted to any extent. "Of vegetable food the primitive 5reenlander used several sorts. I may mention angelica, dandelions, sorrel, crowberries, bilberries and different kinds of seaweed. "One the greatest delicacies is the contents of a reindeer's stomach. If a Greenlander kills a reindeer and. is un able to convey much of it home with him, he will, I believe, secure the stom ach first of alL and the last thing an Eskimo lady enjoins upon her lover when he sets off reindeer hunting is that he must reserve for her the stomach of his prey. "I is no doubt because they stand in need of vegetable food that they prize this so highly and also because it is in reality a very choice collection of the finest moss and grasses which that gor mand, the reindeer, has picked out for himself. It has undergone a sort "of stewing in the process of semidigestion, while the gastric juice provides a some what sharp and aromatic sauce. "Many will no doubt make a wry face at the thought of this dish, but they really reed not do so. I have tasted it and found it not uneatable, though somewhat sour, like fermented milk. As a dish for special occasions it .a served up with pieces of blubber and crowberries." AN HOUR'S WALK. You Woul Hardl Think That That "Meant Traveling 85,253 Miles. Have you ever thought of the distance you travel while you are out on an hour's stroll? Possibly you walk three miles within the hour, but that does not by any means represent the distance you travel. The earth turns on its axis every 24 hours. For the sake of round figures we will call the earth's circumference 24,000 miles, and so you must have traveled during the hour's stroll 1,000 miles in the axial turn of the earth. But this is not all. The earth makes a journey around the sun every year, and a long but rapid trip it is. The dis tance of our planet from the sun we Will put at 92,000,000 miles. This is the radius of the earth's orbit—half^the diameter of the circle, as we call it. The whole diameter is therefore 184, 000,000 miles,'and the circumference, being the diameter multiplied by 3.1416, is about 578,000,000. This amazing distance the earth trav els in its yearly journey, and dividing it by 365 we find the daily speed about 1,586,000. Then, to get the distance you rode around the sun during your hour's walk, divide again by 24, and the result is about 66,000 miles. But this is not the end of your hour's trip. The sun, with its entire brood of plan ets, is moviag in space at the rate of 160,000,000 miles in a year. This is at the rate of a little more than 438,000 miles a day, or 18,250 miles an hour. So, adding your three miles of leg travel to the hour's axial movement of the earth, this to the earth's orbital jour ney, and that again to the earth's excur sion with ihe sun, and you find you have traveled in the hour 85,253 miles. —Cincinnati Enquirer. W at the Vatiean Contains. On the whole, the Vatican may be divided into seven portions. These are the pontifical residence, the Sistine and Pauline chapels, the picture galleries the library, the museums of sculpture and archaeology, the outbuildings, in cluding the barracks of the Swiss guards, and, lastly, the gardens with the pope's casino. Of these the Sistine chapel, the galleries and museums and the library are incomparably the most important. The name Sistine is derived from Sixtus IV. The library was founded by Nicholas V, whose love of books was almost equal to his passion for building. The galleries are representative of Raphael's work, which predominates to such an extent that the. paintings of al most all other artists are of secondary im portance, precisely as Michael Angelo filled the Sistine chapel with himself. As for the museums, the objects they con tain have been accumulated by many popes, but their existence ought perhaps to be chiefly attributed to Julius II and Leo X, the principal representatives of the Rovere and Medici families.—F. Marion Crawford in Century. .. Bank of England Clerks.
