The hoiTOis of the Milwaukee and other rcceut fires are deepened by the reflection that so many of the victims might have been saved, had they i)eeu provided with the simple appliance of a rope, a pulley, and a hook; the hook to be fast-ened to the window till, the rope to be looped atound the body, under the arms of the person ising it, who will then let himself down on the outside, by the rope, which plays freely throueh the pulley. Nothing could be simpler, or more certain. A contrivance like this would occupy but a small place in the ti-aveller's hand ba?. There are strong small wires Miclosed in wrappings that can be made available tor this purpose, and which are not larger than one's little dnger. They are quite large enough to sustain the weight of a man, and their value in saving life would he priceless. Hotels and eimilar buildings should be supplied with these fixtures, one for each room in the house, and there should be a permanent staple under the window sill, to which to attach the hook of tbe safety rope. There is quite as mach reason for keeping these ropes and pulleys at hand, as there is lor providing steam veasela with life preservers, and the law which makes the latter obligatory, might properly extend its mandatory provisiotis to 1^ former, and require more aafegnards for ii§p security of the pablic frcm the dangers feyVhich they are meaaoed. me rrontlers of Ma d neii a. Such ia the title of an interesting lecture recently delivered by Dr. Ball in hia coarse at the Paris Faculty of Medicine. The ge- nerally received opinion that folly and rea- son are separated by a strictly drawn ma- thematical line is, according to Dr. Ball, quite erroneous. There is a broad frontier, he says, between sanity and insanity, which is peopled by millions of inhabitants. Dr, Ball holds that the number of persons per- fectly reasonable on all points throughout the entire peried of their existence form but a minority of mankind. The world abounds with people, he tells na, whem a strict sci- entific diagnosis would condemn as mad, or more or leas "touched " yet at no time of their life would it be permissible to put them under restraint. Such people are to be seen occupying honorably and successful- ly every position in life and society we see them in the mirror which reflects our- selves Dr. Ball was recently consulted by a young man who was engaged to be married, but who found it impossible to visit his in- tended bride because it would involve a journey of some length in a railway car- riage, and he could never enter one without feeling a desire to jump out as soon as the train was in motion. He was advised to ac- custom himself gradually to this mode of travelling by taking short journeys on the snrburbam hne, but he could never get be- yond Anteuil: there he had to leave the car- riage for fea-T of accidents. Homicidal im- pulse ia likewise met with. Tfaouviot's case is the oftenest quoted. For years this un- pleasant person was tortured with a burn- ing desire to kill some woman or other, bat he never felt the slightest wish to take the life of a man. He battled with the impulse for years, but at length it got the better of him. One day he murdered a young girl, a perfect stranger to him, whom unfortunate chance threw in his way in the kitchen of a restaurant. Dr. Ball was consulted some time ago by a painter of considerable talent, who was a prey to these murderous impulses. He uad married early in life, his family was large and his cares and anxieties large in preportion. At about eight and thirty, with- out physical ailment of any kind, or any specially unfavorable turn iu his affairs, hi* mind began to be affected. If he saw a mirror he experienced a desire to smash it near a window he felt a temptation to jump out he never got a bank note in his hand that he did not feel inclined to tear it in pieces. These morbid promptings presently assumed a more formidable shape he be- gan to be assailed with a temptation to strangle his children. His little daughter was dying of croup, anl he spent night after night by her bedside nurssins; her with the utmost tenderness. "Yet," said he to the physician, "at the moment when I was praying, with tears in my eyes, that the child's life might be spared, 1 was torment- ed with a horrible desire to take her out of the cradle and throw her into the fire. Even now," he added, " as I speak to you I feel a most intense desire to strangle you but I check myself." The doctor never saw this patieut again a circumstance which he has perhaps no reason to r. gret, for as he was a man of powerful build he would have been an exceedingly "ugly customer " had his saaguiuary impulse proved beyond his control. Bn: up t) that time, as the doctor remarks, he had kept them success- fully ia check. His nearest friends did not even suspect that he was subject to them. He fulfilled all the duties of life in a cor- rect and exemplary manner. No doctor could have certified to his being insane. Yet assuredly he was on the " borderland " of insanity. â€" S'/. James Gazelt-f. Tbe Probable Exclosiveness of Heaven. Do you not sometimes wish the way were broad But the fact still remains that the way is narrow, and if one would enter he must strive with his might. But why, you may ask, did not God make the way broad Why, indeed Would 5-0U have heaven a place like unto earth You might as well ask whether Heaven would be Heaven if it were no Letter than earth. If the gate, the way, were broad, all would go there. Do you think it would be conductive to hap- piness to CO where the good and evil are living to;;ether ' Iu your daily business relations you are thrown in contact with bad men at every .step. Would you %vish such a state of aiiairs all through eternity No the heaven we hope for and look foJward to must be a pure, happy, and blessed place. There must tever be one ripple of trouble or shadow of sorrow to d sturb the repose of tiiat holy place. Now, in order to .secure such a Iieaven nothing must be permitted to enter the gate that will defile. Tne gate is not narrow of itaelf, it is simply too narrow for sin to enter. Can there be any just complaint because sin is shut out As well might one complain that a drunkard ii not permitted to join a temperance or- ganization, or an ignoramus a scientific as- sociation. The church is likewise exclusive. None can enter its straight crate without the credentials of morality. â€" k'w.T. /•" Manh, Gil ""n 'JO. LATE NEWS NOTES. allow Tinned Salmon. The principle seat of the Amei iuau tinned salmon industry is on the Columbia River, Oregor. Upon this river, during the year 1S81, there were employed in salmon-catch- ing no fewer than 1,7G0 boats, manned by 4,000 men, chiefly Scandinavians and Itali- ans. The hauls are made by gill -nets and sieves, and each boat, it is said, will take on an average 2,000 tish during the season, which lasts from the beginning or M ay to tbe end of July. The work of canning the fish is performed by Chinamen, who are re- markably expert in the various processes of cleaning and cutting up the fish into suit- able pie;:es, filling the cans, and sealiag them hermetically. A pound of salmon is put into every can, and in packing for market the cans are made up into cases of 48 each. The industry is rapidly growing. In 186C the product of the Columbia River fisheries was 4,000 salmon in 1881 it was 530,000. During the latter year it is estimated that the quantity of salmon packed by the 32 canneries on the river was 19,000 tons, and toward the close of the season there was- such an enormous catch that hundreds of tons had to be thrown away so that the industry is evidently capable of further de- relopmeat to a very considerable extent. river is now low enough to to use their landings at Cincm- been opened by the floods The teamers natti. Subscriptions have Berlin, for the suffers America. Two well-known Nationalists, implicated in the storage of arms at Clerkenwell, have left for America. It is stated in St. Petersburg that no con- stitution nor amnesty will be aranted on the occasion of the Czar's coronation. All the temperance and prohibiting measures introduced in the New Jersey legislature this session were killed. A meeting of the Irish National Land League recently condemned the presence of "eaves dropping police' at its meeting. The Porte has instructed the Governor of Tripoli to personally apoligise to the Italian Consul for the insult ofifered the latter. The German Bnndesrath has approved unanimously of the bill prohibiting the importation of American pigs, pork, or saus- ages. A bill has be*n introduced into the Ohio Legislature giving justices of the peace original and final jurisdiction in all liquor questions. At the session sf the Grand Lodge of United Workmen, Guelph was selected as the place for the holding of the next an- nual meeting. The German Ambassador to the Vatican, replying to Cardinal Jacobini's letter, in- sists on the submittal of all ecclesiastical appointments to the German Government. Since the publication of Carey's dis- closures a number of Irish-Americans and farmers' sons in the -counties of Armagh, Monaghau and Louth have been secretly leaving for America. The Quebec citizens' meeting, anont the watersupply was largely attended, the Mayor presidmg. A resolution was adopted aver- ring that a second pipe.or other means of in- creasing ths water supply was an absolute necessity. The first annual meeting of the British American Short Horn Association has been held at Toronto. Mr. J. Drynan, M. P. P., presided.

The Danubian Gonference has approved of the proposal for a mixed commission to control the Danube from Galatz to thd Iron Gates. Austria, Bulgaria, Roumania and Servia to be permanently represented on the Cdmmision, and the others Powers appoint- ing members in rotation. Servia will not be represented on the European Commission to have jurisdiction below Galatz. The surveyor of the Port of San Fran Cisco has seized on the steamer "City of Tokio" opium valued at §15,000 It was concealed in the water tank, the only ac- cess to which was by the shaft well. It isconaidered impossible that opium could have been concealed there without the con- nivance of some of the officers of the ship. Others seizures are expected. It is believed that if Mr. Parnell speaks on Mr. Gorst's amendment it will be briefly, as he thinks the debate on the Phoenix Park murders prematuie while the trial is pending. The Pamellitea are greatly dis- satisfied with Mr. Parnell's intention to move an amendment to the address, ar- raigning the E.xecutive of Ireland for its ad- ministration of the Crimes Act. The Coxheath Mining Company on Wed- nesday took out a silver license at the Mines Department at Halifax, N. S. cover- ing their entire copper areas in Gape Bre- ton, owing to the ore showing a larger per- centage of the richer metal as greater depth was attained. It is said these recent developments add considerably to the value of the property, and are ar-ousing some excitement amongst mining speculators. A Washington despatch says The steam- er " Asheulot" reported lost in China, was a laughing stock among naval ofhcers.' She was a paddle wheel, thin plated iron ship cf 1,370 tons displacement and double eu- ' der. She was built in 1863 for purposes of river navigation during the war and wag used iu the blockade. A number of simi- ilar vessels were built at the same time Two or three were lost and the rest were sold, except the "Monocacy" now on the Asiatic station and the "Tallapoosa" .Great- ly altered from the original plan.

Doyle is in constant correspondence with Macadaras. The latter la an invalid, and consta-itly travelUng with his wife. There is no secrecy in h movements. Macadaras waa in Egypt dur ing the whole time covered by the PhcenLx Park murder conspiracy, and while the plottmg was going on against Mr. Forster he was at a mountain resort in France. M.

Having bidden adieu to your friends, you aently push your frail sled over the brow of the hill and launch yourself into etermty. Such of your readers as has ever fallen out of a balloon will have a good idea of the sensation of the amateur toboagamst dur- ing his first slide. There is a sense of gone- ness in the head and in the pit of the sto- mach, and the nether world rises up and hits you all over very hard. A sUppery and elastic board with 300 pounds weight upon it, launched down a hill of ice or snow a quarter of a mile long or thereabouts, with an inclination cf say seventy degrees, gath- ers a tremendous headway in the course of a few seconds; tho crisp diamond-dusty par- ticles fly at your eyes like spindrift at sea before a hurricane, and a spray of shrieking silver is ground up by either steering stick, in a few seconds you reach the glacis, and change the plane on which you move, the sled giving a bound that makes you think of riding a frisky dolphin; then away it careers for hundreds of yards above the level, till finally it stops perhaps a mile away from the starting place, allowing an admir- able opportunity for flirting with your fair fare during the return walk. Of a bright, moonlight night, with the air keen and the heavens overflowing with stars, there can be no more glorious sport. But it has its perils. If you lose your head and fail to keep that of the toboggan straight the sled will broach-to and spill you and your fare down the hill, with a display of ground and lofty tumbling such as Greenwich never witnessed on tho jolliest of fair days. Fortunate will you be if, while you and your Dulcinea are for the moment standing on your respective heads, another toboggan does not sweep down and take you in your respective mid- driffa with a force of say 144-foot tons. Or, still worse, in a long course, where there are trees to thread and maybe a gate or two to piss through, you may tilt head-on into a post or a stately maple. Hot until you have been into such an accident do you fair- ly understand what is meant by " match- wood" and "a dull thud." Luckily as the lady is in front she acts as u vjrt of buffer, but her *lot under auch circumstances is not a happy one, as before she has i airly realized that she has been hurled against u tree she receives you in the back with no less crush- ing emphasis.
