Dr. Low mentions a number of oases where those domestlo animals were afllloiod with diphtheria during tho eptdomlo in Enfield, and were evl dently the agouti for conveying It to children who fondled them.

Met. Tliero was to be a revlow of the Lan arkshire militia when the commander of the forces In Scotland was Ueneral Viscount Melville. Ho was a strict dis ciplinarian, an exnellont soldier, but most particular as to detail. It was said be oould detect a misting button on a private's ooat. He was the inspecting oflleer. The review was to take place in the park of the palace. Luncheon was prepared for the whole oounty, A large party was Invited in honor ot Lord Melville, who arrived at the palace the previous day to meot Lord 11. the Colonel ot tho militia regiment. There were few people as popular as Lord It. His geniality equaled his bospltnlity.and his residence was a house widely known and highly considered; but he was vory forgetful, and despised all those mili tary details which Lord Molvillo oonsld sldored of the first Importance so much so, that at dinner the llenoral expressed himself very strongly as to the atten tion the Colonel should give the next day to the equipment of the corps, and, above all, to bis own personal appear ance. "Trust to mo," said Lord 1) "you will see how well I shall turn out to-morrow." nowevor, it was evident that the com mander in chief was full of doubt; nor were bis apprehensions unfounded. The next day was beautiful. Crowds assem bled In the park and at the entrance of the palace; but the regiment arrived without lis Colonel. Lord Metvllle was purple with rage. There we all waited half an hour. At last appeared thr Colonel, and la the moat motley guise no cocked hat, bis aash slung rather than tied round his waist, his trousers without straps, bait way up his legs. He Jogged along in perfect Indifference as to his appearance. Lord Melville was foo overcome with Indignation to speak when Lord B. said: "Wall, Ueneral, I hope yon thluk me all right to-day." Low-muttered anathemas were the only reply to this salutation. However, the review proceeded, but very slowly, for the Colonel had to read the word of command from a paper which he did not even try to oonceaL Lord Melville dashed about in a fremy. At length the last maneuver and final blow came. The regiment formed square. "Make ready, present, flrel" waa the word of command. Not a sound but the click of the locks. Colonel, what doea this meant" shouted the General. "They have no powder," replied the Colonel. ".No powder, Colonel, for a field day!" "The fact la, General, sometimes the boms don't stand fire; mine is very fidgety, and I thought It Just as well the review should go off without aa aecl- tent. "-Black wood's klagaxlne.

It was this way: My friend Ada ihowed Die a pendant, a circle of beauti ful smalL white diamonds about a ruoy that glowed like a flaming-red heart; it bad Are enough to melt a roclc Ada said it was a shame that the ruby was not genuine, because it made tbe pend ant of no value to her. "I don't carosald I; 'It looks somueh like a real stone that I do not believe any one could toll it was bogus. Why, se, there is even a little flaw in It, just is you often find In rubles.' Hut Ada tald as long as it was not genuine tho pendant was of no value to her, unless she bad the diamonds set over. " 'Why not pawn It?' said I. " 'I couldn't,' said she. .'I'd be fright ened todeath. Besides, bowdoyoodolt?' "O, just go in and ask him bow much he'll give on it,' said 1, inougu i never been near a pawn-shop. I was In too deep to expose my ignorance now. " 'Would you dare do It? aald she. "Certainly!' I replied, bravely. . " 'Will you do it for me, dear?' "Now. that took my breath away. To put my friend up to mtschiof was one thing, but to be up to It myself was an other. However, 1 could not aainu i was afraid now. "Ve-es.' I said, half-heartedly. "She made me start at once. We went down town, and while sho waited in a store I climbed tbe stairs to the offlco of a swell broker with my heart beating until I was nearly suffocated. I sat down In the' private office, and, with a faoe as long as the statue of misery, I handed out that pendant. " 'How much?' said tbe man. " '1 don't know,' I replied. He disap peared and came back and said St "O. "Then I knew be thought the ruby real, as I had expected him to do, and the pendant therefore worth about but the sum offered was about double tbe real value of the pendunt; so I looked sorrowfully at the gora for a mo ment and then said: " Tan you do no bettor for me? " 'Nope,' said ho. One more long look at that memento of bettor days, and then I said In a voieo suffused with tears: " 'I'll take it.' The broker had boen watching me closely, and I think be was moved by my apparent distress, which my fright helped me to assunio, for when be brought me the ticket and money be said in the gentlest way: "My dear lady, if you wish to redeem this at any time send us word and we will send It to you and spare you the pains of coming here. Re was so kind that I'm sorry I cheated him, even If be did want a MOO pendant for 8150." The roporter relatod this story to a reputable Maiden lane Jewelry manu facturer. He said that the seoret of the girl's sucoess lay partly in the foot that the bogus jewol had a flaw in it and that it was sot with superior, it small, dia monds, but chiefly In the bearing of tbe girl. She showed to his eye that she was not accustomed to the air of a pawn-shop, and so he was more easily lecetvod. It is a regular though small branch of the jewelry business to make jewels like this pendant, whioa are worked off on pawn brokers through Just suoh means as were employed in this ease. X. Y.

Thore Is something, apparently, In :be atmosphere and vital conditions of a metropolis which tends to disqualify It natives for unremitting and triumphant sxertion in the struggle for existence. The same phenomenon has often boen observed In london and in Paris. The causes may be obscure, but thai they are doep-seatod, and inseparable from largo conglomerations of human beings, seems evident from the persist ence of the race-type in countries whose Jlties bave been repeatedly occupied by foreign invaders. Thus in Spain, where the Roman colonists settled in the towns, and left tillage to the conquered people, there is not now a traoo discern ible ot Roman blood. In Syria, al though Its cities remained in the hands of Groeks for upwards of nine centuries, or from the time of Alexander to th time of the successors of Mohammed there now remains scarcely a vestige ol the Greek domination. What Iseven more noteworthy, tbe sod entary Arab population is dying out, and its place is taken by an Inflow from the rural districts, which have been inhab ited by tho same Aramaic stock since tbe lawn of history. But the most striklna example of the fugitive character of ur ban population Is furnished by the Nile iana, whose clttes in historical times nave been successively tenanted by As tyrians, Persians, Greeks Roman. Arabs and Turks. They would be soli tudos to-day but for the Incessant re cruitment of their inhabitants from tbe ft'Mthrtn, whose race-type Is Identical with that of the subjects of the Pharaohs depleted on the walls of the rock tombs st Thebes.
