KJ^ of the ,^7 'the I Interesting Txperlments. From Paris we receive the report of ex- periments conducted with an instrument on which the palm of the hand is placed and a downward pressure exercised. Sixty-four men, aged from -25 to 45 years, belonging to the middle clajsse--, and whose ordinaiy oc- cupation did not necessitate any soit of manual work, were prevailed upon to try their strength. The strongest man was able to produce a pressure equivalent to S5 kilo- grammes, the weakest to 40 kilogrammes, and the average was 56 kilogrammes. There was also an average difference of 10 kilo- grammes between the strength of-the right and left hand but the shorter men were tiearly as strong as the tall men, as an aver- age difference of only three kilogrammes was noted. The number of women whose services were secured for exactly the same trial of strength was, unfortunately, not the same. There were only fifty-two women, but these were taken from the same class of so- dety. The force of the strongest woman amounted only to 44 kilogrammes, and that of the weakest to 16 kilogrammes, while the average was 34 kilogrammes. Thus it may be said that in this particular form of exer- cise women only possess three-fifths the strength of men. The difference of the right hand over the left in women amoont- ed to 5 kilogrammes SO grammes, while the smaller women |»tved to be a little strtmi;* •r than their taller nat«n. The Kudlmcntary In Clotlieu L?t us uDsv turn a critcal eye up'.m the male costume. One of the most obvious things about a man's everyday dress is its ugliness. I say his everyday costume, be- cause, when on pleasure he is bent, he may wear pretty much what he likes, and, as a matter of fact, when footballing, boat- ing, bicycling, cricketing, walking or other- 1 wise enjoying himself, he does adopt a dress which 13 both sensible and picturesque. It is only when he wishes to make an impres- ' sion, w^hen he is on business, or paying a i call, or going to worship, or performing some j other conventionality, that he considers it absolutely nessary to be particularly inar- 1 tistic and uncomfortable. Our Sunday best, I our go-to-meeting clothes, are those most open to ridiclue, unless it may be our even- ing dress. Contempl-ite for a moment a man I on his way to worship. He is a walking I illustration of the doctrine of evolution. j Were his bat, or his coat, or his trousers 1 created No, they were evolved. His hat â€" his top-hatâ€" his chimney-top, his stove- I pipe â€" is but the carcass on which his ances- i tors were wont to display ribbons and knots, and other gauds. In itself it is both ugly I and uncomfortable. In winter it proves a vast roof upon which rain and snow may collect in order to be better discharged upon the shrinking form beneath, or otherwise it has to be protected by an expensive um- brella. ^Ve first buy an expensive hat to prote»,t a too often worthless head, and then we buy an umbrella to protect the hat. In summer it becomes less a roof than an oven, in which the head is slowly baked. Wether off or on, it is an encumlrance. When off, the question is what to do with it when on, the question is what to do without it. And yet thee is nothing so absolutely a symbol of civilization as the top-hat â€" a fact which furnishes some food for reflection to the philosopher. The coat has several o what, I believe, are called "rudimentary organs." Just as in the human skeleton, the few useless end bones of the spine are held by science to prove that man once had a tail, fo the buttons at the back o' a man's coat have their tale. Few people know why they in- variably appear. I once asked a fashion- able tailor what was their use. He replied, "To mark the waist." They are often put too low do'vn to serve this purpose; but why should a man want his waist marked And if he wants it marked in one coat, why not in another As a matter of fact, the only reason for the existence of these two buttons is that they are a survival from the time when men buttoned back the long flaps of their c^ats in order to walk more freely. We have no flaps now then why keep ths but ons Another rudimentary organ may be found at the end of the sleeve. There is always a cuff marked, generally by a double row of stitches, which perform no useful service, unless it be to remind us that our grandfathers had fastenings to their sleeves, and that those little buttons at the end were of real use when the sleeve was tight at tne wrist. â€" West End Oazetli' Business at Brandon is still improvmg, and everything promises well for a large spring trade. Emerson's unsettled stete of municipal affairs is materially retarding the progress of the town. The Provincial Government have notified the town of Emerson that thty wiU give the §4,000 still due from the amount placed m the eatiniates last season. A government engineer will arrive soon from Ottawa to superintend the construction of the new railway and traflSc bridge at Emerson. The receipts for grain at Emerson for t^e past few days has been ve-y light, little or nothing being offered. The prices still re- main firm, wheat at 80c and OAts at 36c. The project of uniting Emerson and West Lynne under one name and corporation moves ^erv slowly, but will eventually be consumated. The citizens on both sides of the riv.-r are enthusiastic on the question. Bat as yet no legal step has been taken. Trade generally has shown marked signs of improvement at West Lynne during the pa t week, and a large quantity of wheat, oats and flax has been marketed. Prices for the week were: Wheat, 75c: oats, 32 to 35c; flax, 85c; birley, 40 to 42c; cord wood, §8; eggs, :55c. It has been decided by the Council of Emerson to expend .§8,000 on the tempor.ary bridge that has done service since the flood. It will be raised some four feiet high- er and will be, when completed, a first-class bridge. Considerable of the old material can 'oe utilized. Work en the new railway and traffic bridge at Emerson, is being pushed forward very rapidly. The contractors have a large gang of men at work driving piles. They are all diiven for the centre pier and are cut off below the surface. Stones have ar- rived for filling in the centre pier and are being utilized as fast as possible. The latest news from the North- West Territories would seem to indicatea scarcity of grain and other produce, as the amount raised is not sufficient to meet the demands of local consumption, owing to the large in- flux of immigrants last year. Oats and barley are (juoted firm, at §1.50, with an up- ward tendency. Hay is also becoming scarce, although the cut last fall was un- usually large. Florida Pxuitlers. On SunSay last three coloured men were out deer hunting near White's log camp, beck of Rollstown. One of them was at his stand, and the dogs were heard coming in that direction. S«on there was a terrible commotion in the bushes, the sound coming toward him. The darky, thinking it was » deer, stooped so as to get a fair shot, when suddenly a tremendous panther confronted him. Hearing a noise behind he looked around, and, to his surprise aod horror, saw another in a tree, which he fired at and killed just as it was in the act of springing upon him. The other immediately escaped, much, as the darky (ays, to his delight. The one killed measured seven feet, and the negro estimates the male to hare been twice as large.â€" Po'a(ita Herald. Wealth for ajCar C ompany. The old woman in the black and white shawl pulled out her wallet to get her fare. Then she began to hunt in the straw which littered up the car. "Did you lose something? " "Yes, I dropped some money down here." "Can't you find it?' "No, I can't find it. It's douii "here some- where." "Letme look,' and the man began poking over the straw with his cane. Then a man just across the aisle laid down li's paper and watched the proceedings with evident inter- est. "Lose something " he asked. "Lady lost some money." "Can't she find it?" "No; she can't find it." "Might as well hunt for a hceile in a haymow." •"es; can't find nothin' in this straw." Then a German half way down the car walkecl up and wanted to know what was the matter. • Lady lost a ring or something," said the mafnnextto him, who had caught a little of the conversation. "Vas dot so? Veil, veil; and she don't find it already, ain't it?" "No, she can't find it." Then a man reading a book near the back platform began to look around, and a color- ed man, with his mouth wide open and his eyes fastened on the spot, said the woman had dropped a diamondin the straw. By this time everybody in the car was in- terested and watched the woman and the man with the cane as they turned over the straw. The conductor came in and said he wanted his fare. "I dropped some money down there," said the woman, and the conductor went down on his knees and buried the money deeper than ever in the straw. "It's money; it ain't a ring," said the man next to the German. "Yaw, it was money," said the German to the colored man. "Dat am money; dat ain't no diamond," said the colored man to the man with the book. f The conductor grew tired of hunting in the straw and said he would like his five cents and went away. The old woman re- marked that them conductors was sharks. They jest put down the straw to catch money, and she knowed a conductor what made lots of money by raking over the hay when he got out to the depot. Then the hunt was resumed until Yonge street was reached, when the woman said she would have to go. "Did you find your money?" asked the man with the paper. "No, didn t find it,' said the woman. "Didn't she find it " asked the man with the book, as she passed out onto the plat- form. "No, she didn't find it," said the colored man. "Find it?" asked the conductor, as he handed out t' e big basket. "No," said the woman "you can have it."

A large owl en- tered, and the frightened hen and her brood hastily ran out. The hen then flew against the prop, which fell, and made the owl a prisoner, An Irish tetter belonging to C. \V. Spioul, of Carters vilie, G.i., scented a covey of birds, and came to a dead set right on the track of the Cherokee Railway ju-.t is a passenger train was approaching at full speed. Some negroes endeavored to drive the dog away, but the animal was trained never to flush birds, and could not be coaxed or driven from his post, but stood his ground till the engine struck and killed him. In Georgia an old custom is still in vogue of carrying dogs to church. lathe Presby- terian church in Macon, a, ferocious bulldog entered and curled himself up at his mis- tress's feet. After awhile, as the preacher began to warm up, am. i is voice rose to an unusually high pitch, t. c dog started for the minister, but his n i^tre a coaxed him back. In the Methodist ciiurch in Albany, Ga., a pointer dog lay curled up for a nap near the pulpit. As the preacher became emphitic he struck the Bible a resounding whack. The dog jumped up with a yelp that startled the congregation and went galloping away. Drowning a bear was a feat accomplished by James Humphrey, of Gohoes. While rowing on Long Lake he saw a bear on a small island in the middle of the lake. He thus describes what followed "I jumped ashore and loaded up with a lot of stones. I had just got back to the boat, when Fred shouted, ' Here he comes.' I gave the bear a fusillade of rocks, but he paid no attention to them, but started for the other shore. We followed, and I pep- pered him pretty lively wit'n the rocks, and finally drove him back again to the island. He again started for the other side. We headed him back with stones, and went for him. I gave him one that luckily stunned him. Before he recovered I grabbed him by the eai s and held his head under watt r until he was dead. The bear weighed 20O pounds." The Cologne journals tells a cuiious story of canine sagacity. Two dogs were caught stca ing rabbits. One was a lar^e dog of the neighbomooJ, across between a St. Bernard and a large woolly coUey, feared by all other dogs the second was a stranger, a imall terrier, just slender enough to get through the hole into the rabbit house. The big dog, who on other occasions never noticed his smaller comrades, had evidently come to an understanding with his little friend about the nocturnal rendezvous. The big dog scratched away all the grass and the stones, dragged up the board covering the entrance to the rabbit house, and let the terrier jump through the hole. The latter returned in a few minutes with a rabbit in his mouth, which he presented to his great friend, and both proceed to devour their supper undis turbed. A singular combat between insects was witnessed by a traveller in South Africa. Pursuing a caterpillar was a host of small ants. An ant would mount upon the cater- piller's back and bite him. Pausing, the caterpillar would turn his head and bite and kill his tormentor. After slaughtering a dozen or more of his persecutors the cater- pillar showed signs of fatigue. The ants made a combined attack. Betaking himself to a stalk of grass the caterpillar climbed up, tail first, followed by the ants. As soon as one approached he seized it in his jaw and threw it off the stalk. The ants, see- ing that the caterpillar had too strong a posi- tion for them to overcome, resorted to strategy. They began sawing through the grass stalk. In a few minutes the stalk fell, and hundreds of ants pounced upon the cat- erpillar, and he was killed, and the victors marched off in victory leaving the foe's body on the field. While looking for cattle in the timber hiils at the head of the Matilija, Ventura county. Gal., Senor Ramon Ortega and bis little son were attacked by three large bears. Ortega jumped from his horse which ran off about a hundred yards and stopped. Ortega killed the biggest bear at the first shot, and quickly silenced another, while the third took to the woods. Ortega's boy then went on foot to bring back the horse, but before he reached the horse a bear overtook him. As soon as the bearMW the boy he rushed at him, and the boy was too frightened to do anything but t* stand still and call to his father to save him.
