The average of defects was 12 tines as great In males as among females, or 4.75 10 the former and .4 in the latter. Among wo- men, also, any but slight cases are very rare Among men, on the contrary, they form rather less than half of the entire number. There- fore, the pronounced cases are at least 2.5 per cent., varying from this number in Eton School and the professional class to more than 3.5 in the police and the poorer echools of London.

Horse-Jobbing. {Lhe Hour.] One of the most important personages of Modern Loudon 13 Mr. East, the horse-jodber. He holds to the carriage-rider of the British metropolis @ relation which at present has no counterpart in any American city, although there is ground to believe that somebody will, within a reasonable period, copy his methods in New York. It is the proud function of Mr. East to ‘thorse,” as he calls it, the equipages of at least half Belgravia, Within the last twenty years the noblemen and gentry of Eagiand have grown more and more loth to be encum- bered with all the appendages of a London stabie. Until a jod-master became a social factor, every one wno kept a carriage In London had to keep his own horses, his own grooms, his own harness, in town as well a3 n the coun: try. Of course, its country house 1s the actual home of an English family, and its town establishment 1s a mere temporary abode. Formerly, when the family moved up to town, the yellnue resembled the moving of an army train, so numerous was the contingent of and vans, grooms and led horses, for in England there Is just as much variety in horses as in vehicles. A properly equipped stable contains pes animals for Special uses. The splendid sixteen-hand brutes, kept for carriage purposes in town, are only exercised and never actually used in the coun- try. For the latter, there are other kinds of horses, The mare of half or thi juarters blood is expressly devoted tothe saddie. For the T-cart or the cog-cart, stout rainbow- necked beasts, with a smart knee action—not by any means as high as that of the carriage horse proper—and a fair amount of speed when trotting, are invariably selected. ‘The cover hac& isa plump, high-shouldered, Suffolk cob, with plenty of bottom and up to weight, but from whom nothing in the way of juraping or action is required. The ladies have their own aaimals—for the village cart an Exmoor pony, for the phicton a pair of nimbie and spirited little brutes, expressly bred for such uses, and to be seen in their perfection onl _{n England. It is easy to see, therefore, tnat of all the in- Taates of the stable the most useless to b2 dothered with, as well as the most expensiy', are the large showy animals whitch draw the town carriages, and whose period of service 13 Atmtted to the parliamentary season, ‘These are bot only very costly, but go to plecaa very quickly If notexercised with punctilloua regu. larity, and although employed only three or four months in the year, must be attended to with a devotion which is as expensive as It 15, annoying. 1l was to relieve London soctety of this incubus that the jobmaster came luto ex- istence. He makes a contract at a stipalated price every year to supply his customers, so long as they are In town, with horses for their private use. The jobmaster takes all risks of Sickness and collapse. If a horse gets out of order the jobmaster replaces nim with a sound one. All the keep and attention devolves upon the contractor. By the conditions of his con- tract he 13 bound to “horse” his customer's carriage at ali times in the very extreme of fashion. The family coachman and footman are, of course, retained, but the customer has = Staff of grooms and stable-boys to provide 0. ir. It Is naturally an object of interest to the jot master to kecp his animals to prime health, And it is equally to bis benefit to reduce to a minimum the cost of keeping them. He relieves his cu:tomers, at all events, not merely of the actual expense of maintaining superilious grooins and stablemen, but also of the hun ired sinall robberies and swindles which attach to taem. ‘Thanks to these arrangements, the Jobmaster is as pro-perous as he is tmporcant. At first the new scheme gained ground slowly. Conservative families were oppressed by the fear of being accused of nlgyardliness aad of a Commercial instinct, should they use hired horses instead of animals of their own. By the new plan had to admit that its advantazes Were obvious; aud thus it {s that, at the pre: ent moment, about two-thirds of the peop! who keep thelr carriages In London depend Upon a jobmaster for the horses to draw then. Instead of belug restricted to tie use of tivo or three horses and subjected to the annoying Contingencies of accidents or sickness, they have @ practically unlimited stable at their disposal. Nor is the cost of the new system Out Of proportion to the benefit it confers. A carriage can be handsomely horsea with a pair of fine, well-bred animals for £75 or £100 a year, and £150 will supply an equipage which Rot even the richest nopleman can surpass. A good many gentlemen here would keep their own carriages If it were not for the great gerry | expense and annoyance Involved in keeping horses. The “sport,” of course, will always prefer to own his trotter; but there are Taany persons who would g! contract to Rey So much a year for the service of a single ree, Or a pair of horses, for their private Venicles. A e Jobmaster reduces the cost of horsekeeping to a minimum, and his economy is, cf course, more or less reflected in his charges. To maintain a single horss in a livery Stable costs at least $30 a month, and a patr $50. To this must be added the pone cost of the animais, the interest on their price, the risk of death cr accident and all the train of annoy- ances consequent on their sickness. The job- master is the absolute owner, not the mers Keeper, of the horses. It 1s in his interest to feed them well, groom them well and keep thea in the best possible condition, Under these circumstances, no sensible ‘carriage-owner would grudge, for relief from his present liabti- ides. @ payment of, say, $/0 a month for a single horse and $75 for a pair.

Men who lose heavily on race horses by the unexpected success of other horses previously thought inferior are prone to indulge in foolish talk about the cause of their reverses. The chatter of some of Peregrine’s backers in the Derby, as reported from England, is unusually absurd and contemptible as well. Tue theory that Mr. Lorillard or bis representatives abroad would allow Iroquois to lose the Two Thousand Guineas, if he could win it, In order to mis- lead the public as to the colt’s real merits, is evidence enough of the Btupialty, otany one that suggests or accepts it. The Two Thous- and Guineas 1s one of the great races of the world, racking with the St. Leger, and only second to the Derby itself. It is considered @ high honor to win it, and In money, a3 well asin fame, itis not far below the Derby. If Mr. Lorillard was knave enough to 1 ose a race purposely, he certainly would not be fool enough to act so plainly against hisown In- terest. But he ls known everywhere as a man of honor, and his horses always run to win. ‘The course of the betting and all the cireur- stances should convince the densest dolt who ost on Peregrine that there could be no foun- Idation for stich a theory, ‘There is really nothing “bewlldering” about the result, or about the management of Mi Lorillard’s stable in England. Every one fa- miliar with the history of the Engush turf knows that winners of the Two Thousand Guineas are generally beaten in the Derby. Since the two races were first run only nine horses have won both of them. It has hap- pened repeatly that a colt successful in the ‘Two Thousand has been made a commanding favorite in the betting on the Derby and hag failed to meet the expectation of his backers. ‘The courses at Epsom and Newmarket are wholly different, the Derby course with its steep hill and its sharp turn belng one of the hardest in the world for race horses, Pere- gui ga tall, light horse, of a shape pscu- arly untitted for the highest speed on such a course, while Iroquois has a form and action well adapted for any course. Peregrine {3 capable of a greater burst of speed than Iro- juois. He showed that in the Two Thousand. ut Iroquois can outlast bim on a dimMicult course. Noone suggested that Iroquois did not do his best in the earlier race at the time that race was run. This precious discovery Was reserved until Peregrine was beaten. ‘The running of the two horses 13 a striking example of that “glorious uncertainty” of Tacibg which hus been so often commented on. As remarkable an illustration 1s furnisned by the best four-year-olds in England, Bend Or and Robert the Devil. Last year Bend Or won the Derby, beating Robert the Devil by a head only. In the autumn races Robert proved the better, defeating Bend Or in the St. Leger, Great Foal and Champion Stakes. after those three triumphs, and after Robert had added the Cesarewitch, the great handicap, to his victories, it would have been bard to finda man in England who doubted Robert's superi- ority to Bend Or, or that Robert was the best race horse of its years in the world. Within three Gays the two rivals have met agatn, Robert the Devil being of course the tavorite in the betting. Bend Or defeated him afcera desperate struggle, No Englishman thinks of suggesting that Bend Or was allowed to lose any of bis previous races. Bend Or Is the property of the Duke of Westminster. It he longed to an American gentleman, periaps some of the losers on Robert the Devil might be vicious and reckless enough to suggest fou! Play, as in the case of Peregrine, Now as to the statement of a prominent English journal that Mr. Lorfilard’s horses have been run in a “bewlidering” manner. ‘This seems to be intended to cover a sneer or asuspicion which the writer was not bold enough to avow. Itis not true in any sense at ali discreditable to Mr. Loriilard or his gente. American horses abroad have been affected by the change and by the climate in such a way as to make their running often un- certain. But there has been nothing at any time to indicate that their owner or his agents Intended to ‘“bewilder” the public, He has been mistaken himself as to the relative merits ofgome of his animals. Private trials often mislead owners, and Mr. Lorillard Was 30 far misled that he thought Barrett could win the Derby and Iroquots ‘could not, and made his bets accordingly. There was certainly noth- ing in that to his discredit. No fair-minded Evgiishmap, who has watched carefully and without prejudice the running of the American horses in England, will say that there ls any ground for the euspicions aud sneers of di appointed backers of British favorite: Tritune. : A Chinese Doctor’s Drug Store. itmay not be known generally to the den!_ zeus of Chicago that a dlectpie of Esculapius, donein Chinese, arives a thriving practice in twelr midst, but such ts tae case.

Of course, land sickness, caused by riding backward and in rallway cars, is prac- ti the same as seasickness, An instance has been iately related of a woman cured by Wearing a sheet of paper over her chest, which illustrates the power of faith.” Dr. George M. Beard satd: “A year ago there was no disease of which s0 little was known and which was so incurable as seasickness, tow there ig no disease of which so much 1s known and which is so perfectly curable. It is @ functional disease of the central nervous system, mainly of the brain, but sometimes also of the spinal cord, and comes from purely mcchbanical and physical causes, being the re- suit of aserlesot mild concustons, No more benefit can be derived from 1t than from an at- tack of typhoid fever. Infancy and old age are least affected by it, and it is most frequent and severe with the nervons and sensitive. In some cases there is simply congestion of the brain. The chief symptoms are headache, backache, nausea, vomiting, pain in the eyes, mental depression, neuralgic pains, sleeplessness, and nervous exhaustion. Dr. F. D. Lente, of Florida, first suggested the use of bromide of Potassium as a preventive of seasickness in Voyages between the north and south, and It was used with good results. This had also been recommended by Dr. Barker, who care- fully studied the subject. My experience bad led to my developing this treatment for long Voyages and suggesting bromide of sodium in large doses Instead of bromide of potassium. ‘The former 1s less irritating to the stomach and contains more bromine than the latter, Dut when not procurable bromide of potassium May be used. The patient should take thirty. Sixty or ninety grain doses of bromide of so- ium three times a day a few days before em- barking and keep it up at sea until the danger Seems to be past. The result aimed at is a mild bromization ef the central nervous system, rendering it less susceptible to the disturbances caused by the movements of the ship. There 1s a great difference in people about the effect, and thegreat point is to know when to stop taking it, avoiding an excess, and not to take too little. A few people have an idto- syncrasy against bromide, but there fs little or no danger from its use if patients will carefully watch for the sleepiness and indisposition for exercise Which are the symptoms of mild bro- mization. I have known of but one failure froma the proper use of bromides, and I have here several letters from persona who have crossed safely by their use, although always Sick before. Ot course the drug shouid be taxen intélligently and under competent alrections, a8 there 1s a great diiference tn different peopie, and every case ought to be studied separately so far as possibie.” “What 1s seasickness?” was asked of Dr. Wa.

One day the wife of a weaithy native mar- chant dropped her nose-ring while in the act of joel @ cocoanut tothe holy man. In vain did he politely request the lady to pick up her jewel; she vowed that she could not be pty, of such profanity after it had fallen of itg own accord at his feet, So Jasawant Kao gave the ring to another woman who hap- pened tobe standing by, and returned the cocoanut to the merchant’s wife, with direc- Uons that on reaching home she was to bathe, and then to break open the nut with her own hands. These instructions being faithfully carried out, the lady was rewarded for her piety by finding her nose ornameat inside the cocoanut. Sucn {s the tale ag related by a correspondent of a leading native journal, who evidently believes implicitly in its truth. No doubt, aclever piece of jugglery. ‘These saintly personages are often accom- plished copjurors, and some of their appilances show remarkable ingenuity, One of these 13 a brass cup some three or four inches high, con- taining an upright figure of Luchmee, with her mfant lying hortzontally across her bent arms. One footof the brass baby touches the upper edge of the cup, Lachmee stands on the bottom. On water befng poured in, the cup flisgradually until the fuld reaches the in- fant’s foot, when a miracle takes place. Out runs the water from a hole inthe bottom of the cup underneath Luchmee’s feet, but which does not apparently penetrate to ‘the inside, andthe stream never ceases for a moment until every drop is drained out. There is a small hole in the side of the cup close to where the Infant’s foot touches the rim, but the odd thing is that although the water only com- mences torun out of the bottom of the cup when it reaches this oritice, the flow continues after the surface of the fluid has fallen below the only apparent exit from the cup. We be- eve this Ingenious apparatus is much used in gome parts of India to delude the ignorant into abelietin the miraculous powers of wande:» ing saints. ‘THE SEALING OF 4 LETTER 13 not so simple a matter as might be imagined. At all great importance has been attached to the operation, and it is well known that the Greeks Uook great care to Close their missives in the most secure manner possible. They first Tolled the written paper in the form ofa cyl- Inder somewhat fattened, which they sur- rounded with a narrow ribbon or a string to carry the seal. The seal was made of wax or clay. The Romans employed the same prac- Uuce, but used more precautions. They com- menced by surrounding the rolled letter with athick paper or askin, then run it through With a string, each end of which was fixed to tne paper by a seal of wax or paste made of powdered chalk. Forgers and vioiators of the ‘secrecy of letters soon found a meansof de- by passing a hot needie under it, and the art of opening sealed letters was carried to such perfection under Nero, that new methods of protecting the secrecy of let- ters had to be sought for. In France in the earilest times common wax of its natural color was first employed. White, gray and yellow wax was then successively used, and the last color has even been. argh to the preseat for certain of drawn up on pareument.

Our modern familiarity with the inteliéctual work of all times and races has made people Perceive that In past days indecency was always part and parcel of literature, and that to try to weed it out Is to completely alter the character of at least a good halt of the litera- ture of the past. Hence, some of us moderns, shaken as we are fn all our conventional ideas, have argued that this so-called indecency Is a legitimate portion of all literature, and that the sooner it is reintroduced Into that of the Present the better, if our literature is to be Teally vital and ‘honest, Now, these people do not perceive that the lIterature of the past contained indecencies, merely be- cause, being infinitely less self-conscious, 1es3 ime eer g hoc now, ye Iiteratare Is a conta ments of every on wT roduced 1 For besides civilization which what I might call absolute indecency, in the sense of pruriency, the literature of the past is full of fith pure and simple, like some eastern town; a sure proof this, that if cer- tain subjects which we taboo were not tabooed then, it was not from any conscious notion of their legitimacy, but froma general habit of making ilterature, like the street of some oriental or medieval town, the scene of every sort, of human action; important or trifling, noble or vile: regarding {t us the place for which the finest works were painted or carved, and into which all the slops were emptied. Hence, in our wanderings turough the litera- ture of the past, our feet are forever stumbling into pools of fith, while our eyes are seexing for the splendid traceries, the gorgeous colors ebove; our siomachs are turned by stenches even while we are peeping tn at some won ier- rose garden or iruit orchard. 1 think you might almost count on your fin- gers the books, up to the year 1650, tn which You are sure of encountering no beastliness — chetce gardens or bowers of the soul, or sacre: chapels, kept carefully tidy and ‘pure—viz.,.

Contemporary Review, The New Czar’s Fear of Assassi- nation. {London Times. } Paris, May 10.—Letters which have lately been reaching me from Russia are the more interesting, Inasmuch as that country seems gee to be enshrouded in mystery. Ihave consequently selected from these let- ters one emanating from a man both well {n- formed and enlightened, whse remarks will te read with interest: “Itis a great mistake to sup) that the fears for the new Emperor's safety are exag- gerated, It would be more correct to say they were inexplicable, if account were not taken of the Influence he undergoes. It 1s, indeed, strange \p see a man of 37, of robust frame and Herculiah strength, a prey to terror, for the Emperor has extraordinary physical strength, ana I remember seeing him bend a horsesios with bis tinger; yet such Is the cage, owing to the influence upon him—he is excellent husband—of the Empress’s nervousness, His departure for Gatchina wasa veritable fight. The day when he was to start four imperial trains were ostentatiously ready at four differ- ept stations in St Petersburg with all the cftictal and military attendants, and while the four tratns were waiting, the Emperor fled in a train without attendance, which had been Waltiug ata siding.” itis pretty certain that the Emperor fs al- most Invisible at Gatchina; that he seldom sees his Ministers, and the aldes-de-camp, formerly had free access to the Czar’s person, have received a circular Intimating to them that they are only to appear twice a week and on special orders. The population of St. Petersburg were greatly impressed at the Em- Heit absence from the fortieth day’s Mass lor his father, the presence of a son on that occasion being more obligatory in Russia than atteadance even at the funeral.
