Besides, the revolution of 1789 was quickly followed by such excesses that objections might exist to its celebration which would not apply to the French revolutions of 1848 and 1870. But while many monarchical governments will withhold their official presence and sanction, some of their individual citizens may be none the leas eager to be found among the exhibitors. President McCosh summarizes in the Ad-tanot the resnlta of an inquiry recently made by two graduates of Princeton. They are sons of missionaries, and they have visited many colleges and seminaries with the purpose of discovering how many students desire to become missionaries in foreign lands. In 92 institutions no less than 1.S23 persons four-fifths of them young men have expressed a desire to go.

But it is said that at this time the missionary boards are able to support only the missionaries now in the field, and therefore President McCosh urges Christians to give more generously for missionary work. Among the young men who offer their services are fourteen in Andover Theological Seminary. It is probable that these students or at least a majority of them are tainted, with the obnoxious probation doctrine which the American Board of Foreign Missions regards as a bar to their employment in the missionary field. Bnt President McCobh does not seem to think that opinions on this subject are of paramountimportance. I am willing," he says.

to join with others in finding a way by which the students, the various churches, and all who love Christ, may combine and work so as to take advantage of this great opportunity." I FREE TRADE AXD THE FISHERIES. Neither Lord Saijsbury nor, so far as we can see, any of the Dominion statesmen, understands the real position of the United States regarding the fisheries. Our Canadian, and, still more, our English, friends appear to think that the differences between i us and them arise from the interpretation of the old treaty or else from a hasty abandonment on the part of the United States of the privileges or rights acquired under the later treaty. In reality the difference between the United States and the Ottawa Government lies in the fact that the latter seeks to define all our rights by the treaty that came into force when that of Washington was broken up, while we insist that we are entitled to certain rights of trade mutually granted to and by the Governments of Great Britain and the United States entirely apart from any treaties ancient or recent Those rights do not include inshore fishing, which is of very small consequence, but they do include the purchase of bait, salt and other necessaries of outfit for fishermen in Canadian ports and the landing of fish to be ahipped in bond to American markets. These are purely trade rights, and are such, as are secured to English subjects within American jurisdiction by a series of legislative enactments common to both countries.

It is gradually coming to be the opinion of a very considerable number of those most interested on both sides which, unfortunately, does not necessarily include the political leaders on either side that the solution of this difficulty, and of a great many others to which the two countries are constantly exposed, is reciprocal free trade. A measure to that effect was introduced near the close of the last session of the last Congress by Mr. Bekjamdt Bctterworth. of Ohio. It fell, of course, so far as its legislative life is concerned, with the expiration of the Congress, but it has been the occasion of much interesting and valuable discussion.

What is most remarkable about it is that several jonrnals heretofore most earnest in the advocacy of protection in all its forms now agree that so far aa concerns Canada, reciprocity, that is to say free trade, would be a distinct advantage to both sides. In Canada it is generally conceded that a certain measure of mutual relaxation of the duties on imports would be beneficial, though we have seen no conclusive evidence of a strong public opinion ia Canada in favor of entire freedom of trade with the United States. There has been some question as to whether the Government of Great Britain would assent to such an arrangement but it is rather an idle question. In the first place, we have the precedent of our previous recipfocity treaty wih Canada, which, if it be not conclusive, is very strong. Then we have the fact that England already permits her colonies to tax English goods, in the case of Victoria, in Australia, and even in the ease of the Dominion itself, in both instance the taxes being substantially if not avowedly protective.

Prof. Gold win Smith, in a letter published by us on Friday.ex-pressed the opinion that there wonld be no difficulty on that score. He said Tnat the one great Interest of England en this aid of the Atlantic Is the friendship of tn EoUB-peakln eomtnunluea of tali continent has long seen my Arm belief, and though of course, speak wlta no authority, I fl MB-gulae expectation that this argument, presses, by those whoa attachment to Great Britain cannot be qoeaUoned. will prevail with British statesmen, and that tha consent of the Imperial Government to fre trade between Canada and th Catted State will be obtained. Tbe vole of Canada la the council of her own continent is really the best support whloh she can ever lend to England either on commercial questions or on question of any other There can be.

no doubt that this opens the way to the only really just, complete, and final settlement of the questions that have arisen ia regard to the fisheries, or that may arise in the future in connection with these or other matters. As we have repotedly pointed out it ia not a fisheries question, bat a trade question, Canada is trying to admitting her JUh free to markets. Wj are insisting on the right to free pnrchaaejs in Canadian porta Beci- procity gives each what is desired by each. There is onlv one serious obstacle in the way. The few-England fiahermen, as a rule, oppose i the admission of Canadian fish.

bnt that is a local demand that cannot bo allowed to in lerf era with a broad and last- ing settlement of all actual differences, and of possible difierenees i in the future as welL We look forwkrd to the next session of Con- gross and the renewal of discussion on this line with muth interest The prospect has not for a long time been so hopeful as it now is. THE CHURCH ASD THE PRESS. Heretofore Archbishop Corrigax has con ducted his side of the controversy between the Roman Catholic Church and Dr. Mo Glyttk with however, he Signify and discretion. Now, has attempted to extend his authority to a newspaper that has sustained Dr.

McGLYXf and in undertaking to dis cipline that journal, he seems to hare parted with some of his dignity and all ot his The paper, as our readers know, is the Catkolic Herald. The adj en uve in its title forms the only which it can be pra- pretext under tended that diction of It comes within the juri- Ihe Archbishop. But for this it would 1 be as indecent for the Arch bishop to writ to the editor and proprietor as he has don his official opinion that its utterances hai been "shockingly scandalous" and thit "if they continued in this course of cot duct it wonld be at their peril," as it 'fould be for him to deliver such a menace to The New-York Times or to any other se cular newspaper. The Catholic Herald is not tnd does not affect to be the organ of the Archbishop or of the church. It is a Catholit newspaper in the sense that it makes a specialty of, news interest ing to Catbblio readers, and passes thereon such comments Is it chooses.

Archbishop Corrigax has a right perhaps, to warn the faithful of his archdiocese, rhen its news or its com ments do not meet his views, that it is not to be considered a Catholic paper, in the sense of being) an organ of the. hierarchy, which, as we nave just said, it does not pre tend to be. lis is a very different thing from sending i ho editor and proprietor an angry note saj ing that their paper is shockingly scandalo us, which, except to his offi cial sensibilities, it is not. and warning them that they will go on in their ways "at their peril. The threat is as 'vague as it is direful.

If heJ meant to proclaiman archi- episcopal boycitt against the paper, why did I a. a ne not say sot il he meant to excom- rnpnicate the! editor and proprietor and possibly the foreman, why did he not say thatt Threati of some dreadful but un specified fate tnat is to befall one's enemies are never dignified and are seldom effectual In the present case they are rendered even less dignified than usual by the circum stance that th are made in a note which the writer exp ains is entirely private and not to be pub ished." A confidential dec laration of wai is a farcical absurdity. There is no ahalogy between this case and that of Dr. McfcrLTNN. Dr.

McGlynx had entered into certain relations with the Church of RoAie and taken certain vows. The editor and proprietor of the Caikolio Herald had done nothing of the sort. To warn them that please the Arch what they say in print must bishop is an attack upon the freedom of tbie press, and shows an American wan of thinking that is likely to do the could be done holding by its church more harm than by its acquiescence in the briests of Henry George's doctrines. It is odd tnat while one Ameri can Archbishop is pleading for the coun tenance of tbje church to an anarchical organization, abother should be attempting to enforce a ceasorship of opinion which no secular Government this side of Russia any longer imagine i to be practicable. It is to be hoped that he of the Vatican may show mo -e wisdom than its American representative! DIRT, DISEASE, ASD DISCOMFORT.

It is one of tkei most common of remarks that New-York oughtto be the most healthy and comfortable city to live in in the world. For a large and populous city its situation is certainly un Equaled. It has not simply fresh water stream running through it like London or Pati 8. Situated on a narrnw tongue of land. it is washed on both sides and around end by the tides of the of its thickly peopled area ocean.

No pari is much more than a mile from the salt water, and fo: the most part its surface slopes to the water's edge, making uerfect drainage a i matter of comparativa ease and economy. The atmosphere surrounding it would be, if untainted by artificial means. a wholesome (as any the heavens afford. and it cons stantay presses in from one side or the other to purify the streets and habi- tations of the people. And yet it is pro- verbial that as Es whole New-York is neither a healthy nor comfortable city.

Its one great drawback is dirt, not natural and ih- evitable dirt bht dirt caused by the beed- lessne8s and ne klect of its own people and their public au horities. Now, we do rioti for a moment admit the common impe ichment that New-York is less clean than other American cities. Its high rate of mortality is due to the cmwriH tenement housd population1 in certain dis-account of the density and tricts where, 04 character of th itt population, it is almost im- possible to mam tain good sanitary condi- tions, and not lines. The a general neglect of clean- main differences between it and other cit-s in this resnect ia -that New-York has little of that local pride which conceals! its own defects. On the contrary, it is continually proclaiming and decrying them.

whereupon provincial towns congratulate themselves that they are not like this self -abusing municipal publican. New-York is busy town; and in its mami- fold worldly litter and it tccupations it makes much does not properly avail itself of it advantaV to keep its ways clean and wholesomk It cheerfully allows its authorities to spend a million dollars a year to clean its istnie'ts and carry away its dirt and refuse, but its people do not co-ope rat with th autioritiee' to mako thia work worry as into effectual nor interest thenaelve sufficiently ia keeping those authorities np to their duty. The Street-Cleaning Department finds itself obstructed by thousands of carts and drays left in the streets at night to save the trouble and expense of stabling. The people have long been addicted to casting their rubbish openly into the streets and sweeping their dirt from houses and stores into the same eonveniertt receptacle. They are careless in putting out their ashes and garbage to be taken away by the public carta, careless both as to time and manner, and the public carts are careless in their methods of taking this stuff away.

The consequence is not only unsightly litter, but a constant loading of the air, which ought to be clear and wholesome, with the fine particles of all manner of filth. These make their way back into dwellings to the befouling of household appurtenances and the discomfort of the residents. The all-pervading dirt assails the eyes, the nostrils, and the mouths of the whole population, and creates or aggravates a (Treat variety of maladies and makes comfortable living impossible. All this is entirely unnecessary, and the remedy is in the hands of the people themselves. They have only to do their part and insist upon a thorough performance of official duty to make New-York what it ought to be the most attractive of cities at all seasons of the year and a favorite resort of those who are seeking for pleasant surroundings.

There should be a general crusade against dirt The using of the streets as stables and bins for miscellaneous rubbish should be no longer tolerated. The sweepings from all interiors should be gathered into proper receptacles indoors and kept for the carts whose-business it is to take them away. The cleaning of streets should be more systematic and thorough, and the carting away of dirt, whether gathered from the streets or from the receptacles for ashes and house refuse, should be done at proper times and intervals, and without scattering a large percentage of it in the air or on the ground. This cannot be accomplished simply by passing ordinances and adopting regulations. That is an easy process, but in itself ineffectual.

Moreover, neither the Health Board nor the Street-Cleaning Department has any power to enforce regulations for cleanliness in the streets and open spaces of the city against the inhabitants. They are dependent on the police. And this suggests a field for utilizing more fully our boasted police force. Why should most of the time of the patrolmen be spent simply in sauntering to and fro over their beats." ignoring the violation of ordinances that goes on continually before their eyesf Proper instructions and proper discipline would set them to enforcing all the regulations against dirt in a manner that would transform the city and remove one of its chief reproaches. They could be used to put a stop to the befouling of the air we breathe and to relieve us of so much of the disease and discomfort that come from the present negligence.

The authorities seem to be in a mood for doing something in this matter. Let the people support encourage, and assist them, and a revolution will be wrought worth far more than it will cost THE CAUSE OF BALDSESS. There has been much learned speculation as to the causes of baldness. Scientific persons committed to theories of evolution have found in the multiplication of smooth and glistening skulls in centres of civilization evidence that the man of the future will differ greatly in appearance from the man of the past We have been told that the coming man will have no thatch on bis brain roof, and that it is gradually disappearing now because we have no use for it With the hair will go the teeth, it is said, for the. concentration of food by chemical processes will leave no work for them to do.

The muscles of locomotion will become atrophied from disuse, and the coming man is to be slow- moving as well as toothless and bald. Others whose inquiries and theories relate exclusively to man as he is to-day have as serted that baldness is due to lack of ventilation in the hat, to the close cropping of the hair, to the use of an artificial covering for the skull which makes the natural thatch superfluous, to a habit of living and working indoors, or to tendencies transmitted in families from generation to gen eration. But no one of these alleged causes is satisfactory. Northern races that have worn heavy fur coverings retain a luxuriant growth of hair. The soldiers of Europe, with heads closely cropped and warmly cov ered, do not show a marked tendency to baldness.

Close cutting does not denude the back of the head and neck of hair. Indoor life does not kill the hair on the heads of women. The real cause of baldness appears to be set forth by W. G. Govinlock in the Popular Science Monthly for May.

It is the use of hard felt hats or any other head covering that constricts the blood vessels which nourish the hair bulbs. The scalp, in which these bulbs are set, is thin, and it lies upon the smooth and rigid surface of the skull. It is irrigated, so to speak, by arteries extending upward in it, through which the blood is forced to the top of the head. Slight pressure exerted upon the surface of the scalp tends to choke these channels. The bony plate under them will not yield, and so the elastic walls of the arteries are compressed.

The modern hat is carefully fitted to the shape of the skull by a "conformator," an instrument which is, Mr. Go nx lock says, more destructive to the natural head covering than ever were the scalping knives of the North American Indians. Fitted by this machine the rigid band of the hat compreeses the scalp between it and the underlying skull at every point in its course around the head. This pressure lessens the flow of arterial blood, and obstructs the return of the venous blood, the result being a sluggish circulation in the capillaries around the hair follicles and bulbs, a consequent impairment of nutrition, and at last atrophy. The red mark of congestion shown on the forehead when a hard hat ia removed after moderate exercise must convince any one that this pressors ia considerable.

That hair bulbs auffer from impaired nutrition is shown when the hair crop is partly or wholly destroyed in cases of fever or wasting disease. Baldness begins where the circulation is weakest on the top of the bead, the region that must be the first to suffer when the blood channels from below are choked. It stops at the mark of the hatband, for below that line the blood vessels are not compressed. Sometimes the hair still grows above thia line and just back of the temples, although it has ceased to grow above the line at other points. This exception is due to the fact that on some heads the tern poral muscle serves as a cushion to relieve pressure in those places.

Close cutting of the hair may accelerate the progress of baldness by removing the cushion of hair thit might slightly relieve the pressure if it were allowed to remain. It follows that the use of soft and loose head coverings tends to prevent baldness. Mr. GoriXLocK points out that agricultur ists, whose habit is to wear the loosest head coverings during the greater part of their lives, usually have an abundance of hair, while their sons who have taken to city ways may be bald at 30. Baldness is most rapidly developed id the cases of city men who wear high hats on closely cropped heads, for the removal of the hair takes away the natural cushion, and the high hat must fit more closely than the low hat because it is more liable to be displaced on account of its height Some may be saved from baldness in great measure by the irregular outline of their heads, or by retaining a thick growth of hair between the hat band and the scalp, but as a rule pressure exerted uniformly upon the scalp in a continuous line around the skull will cut off a great part of the nourishment which naturally would be supplied to the hair bulbs above that line, and as a result the hair must suffer.

This is certainly a very reasonable explanation of the causes of baldness. If pressure that obstructs circulation and impairs nutrition be the chief cause, what is the remedy Obviously the use of soft hats in such a way that there shall be no pressure, or perhaps the use of hats so shaped in the band that room shall be left for a free passage of the blood in certain parts of the line around the skulL At the same time some attention should be paid to ventilation and the treatment of diseases of the scalp. PERILS OF LITERARY SUCCESS. Authors who have the fortune to meet the popular taste with an unusually successful story seem doomed to encounter at once two enemies, either one of which is pretty sure to encompass their literarr ruin. The first and greatest enemy is the cupidi ty of the author himself, which prompts him to trade recklessly on the reputation he has acquired and cast upon the market earlier works far inferior to the hook which has made his name.

In nine cases out of ten' an author who has bounded into popularity on a single book, instead of trying to excel that effort and add to his fame, hunts up his old manuscripts, some of which may have been' rejected in the past, and hurls them at the of an unoffending public. He relies on his name to sell the books, and not on the books to add lustre to his name. Mr. Haggard is an author who well illustrates this failing. King Solomon's Mines" and She" are not great works of fiction, but they are of a character which attracts armies of readers, and their popularity has been phenomenal.

To issue on the strength of their success such a work as The Witch's Head" was simply to set a trap to catch the shillings of the unwary. The shillings were caught but they will scarcely repay Mr. Haggard for the loss to his prestige as an author which the publication of this and some other worthless tales under his name has occasioned. The other enemy which assails the successful author of fiction is the penny-a-liner, who hangs on the skirts of literature and makes his living by imitating the style and characteristics of the popular writer. Mr.

Haggard's She" is probably responsible for more worthless books at the hands of this class of writers than any other recent work. He," He and She," and Me" are to be found on every bookstand bidding for patronage on the strength of the popularity of "She." In the case of the last named the bid is of such a nature that it ought to subject the bidder to prosecution for obtaining money under false pretenses. The title of this nondescript book is printed Me a Companion to She. A Story of Adventure. By H.

Rider Haggard." This is shrewdly worded to give the careless reader the impression that Mr. Haggard wrote "Me," and good large type is tot spared to bring Mr. Haggard's name into prominence. Of course, persons who keep abreast of the literature of the day will not be deceived by this ambiguous title page, but it is calculated to deceive the careless reader, and to do the English author great injury. Were She" the work of an American, and protected by copyright, the author would have a good cause of action against the publishers who thus make use of his name.

As it is. he has no redress, and there is apparently no way to prevent this kind of petty imposition on the public. BKXBY GEORGE O.V A DSrS WORK.
