One of the moat interesting of th« new peycho-physiological instru menu is the plethysmograph. which indicates the least flow of blood in the arteries of the arm. By means of it observers have found that when the sentence of the judge is read be fore a criminal there is a decrease in the flow of blood in the arm. but that the eight of a glass of wine in creases the flow. Again, when it is required to perform an arithmetical calculation, to multiply for example, times seventy-three, an increase of blood flow is the result. The flow is little affected in a bru tal murderer or born criminal when a pistol is shown to him, whereas in the normal man the plethysmograph indicates a decided effect Thus in voluntary testimony is supplied as to the nervous and physical nature of ♦he horn instead of the accidental tnmicai.—London Chromate. ENTERPRISING BOOTBLACK*. Hi of Ibe Many Way* to Caro • Lltllt Monr; la a Big City. Every now and then some new and curious phase of metropolitan life thrusts itself upon you. No mat¬ ter how long you have lived in Gotham, no matter how much you have been utiout, no matter how close an observer you are, it is some¬ thing to surprise you. On the corner of Ninth avenueaud Eighty-first street, just below tha elevated station, is a small, uapaint ed wooden house about four by six feet It contains a stove and a couple of bapthlack chairs and a dark skinned tenant who operates these. Outside is another chair used in fine weather, and a long board against the fenae liears an assort¬ ment of daily papers, tended by the diminutive son of the colored mat before mentioned. The mixed es tablishment has beet, running eight years If you should happen to come along here about daylight in the morning you would see father and sen engaged on a long row of shoe# of various styles of architecture Some are gentlemen's shoes, and ■otne bear the high heel in the mid¬ dle and half inch toes and wealth of instep that denote the feminine qual¬ ity of the wearers, and some are pol isbed up like the admiral's handle ol Hie big frout door, some are still in a •tote of pin steal degradation, white others are undergoing the process of being born again under the brush. Thus I saw them once, twice—then I stopped and asked whose shoes these Were, first peeping into the little house to see if the owners were not •ittutd . iv, m fh^ir their stockinged eet around the stove. “!>.'■ *ka genT—en’s °n d .the la - die# il er wsaghborhood}" says the small boy. “You don*7 mean to say they send their shoe* here to be blacked ?"

This fact, if it is a fact, may per¬ haps be accounted for Ifl more ways th a n one, but the explanation offered by Mr. Julian Ralph is his book “On Canada's Frontier” seems to be adequate. He says that the reason why the people do not suffer more from ths iow temperature is because ‘ every one puts on everything he owns—all his stockings at once, all his flannel shirts and drawers, all his coats on top of one another—and when there is nothing left, draws over all a blanket suit, a pair of moccasins, a tuque and whatever pair of gloves he happens to be able to find or hor - w TW Marqafto* CT i*i U*X . A romantic story comes to hand from Parts. An eccentric marquis, whose suit had been rejectod by a beauty of the Second Empire, hired a coster's stall, planted himself ots the curb opposite her door and every day used to send in a pint of chest nuts, in the heart of which pearls. rubies and diamonds were concealed, After a week the fair one yielded and bestowed her hand upon her devoted admirer But the marquis has since been ruined, and now earns his living in the streets of Paris by the earns method which formerly enabled him to storm love's atndel Let us hope, in the interests of romance, that the story itself is not a chestnut—Loo doa Globe. f irrt» d»«lng Fear of 5p« rmvrB Dr. Harzard is led to jojie from bis ol>sen atious that native Amer* ican bird*‘ire losing their r ear of the sparrow, a ad that the desjtotic reign of the latter may •*> near im end.
