Prendergast has been respited until
April 6. His attorney set up the in
genioue plea that he had become insane
since sentence was pronounced upon
. him and that it would be an act of in-
humanity to hang an insane man. If
Prendergast’s insanity can be estab-
lished, and there seems to be little doubt
of that, he will probably he locked up
for life instead of being executed. There
is no doubt that the man is a crank of
the most dangerous type and ought tobj
put out of the way of doing any moie

BOYCOTTING AMERICA.
An extraordinary scheme is credited
by the foreign correspondents to young
Emperor William of Germany. It is no
less than a purpose to unite all Europe
in an offensive and defensive commercial
league against America. This old mon-
arch is said to entertain the opinion that
the giant of the west is expanding alto-
gether too rapidly for tbe old vorld’s
comfort and that its astonishing indus-
trial and mercantile progress involves a
danger to Europe even greater than the
spread of its ideas of political liberty.
So Wilhelm intends to persuade his
neighbors to join in a gigantic conspiracy
to refuse to buy American goods.
Well, we yankees are not disposed to
invite this kind of a commercial warfare,
but if it is tnrust upon us by the old
world jealousy we Caney we can stand it
longer than ibe old world .can. Europe’s
present purchases from our countiy are
chiefly articles of food, which she pro-
cures be e because she cannot profitably
p< oduce enough to feed her teeming pop-
ulation. On the other hand, America’s
present purchases from Europ? are chief-
ly manuiaclured a< tides of necessity
which can easily be fabricated in our
own land in an emergency, or articles of
luxury which we can go without. If the
the Atlantic ocean were suddenly to be-
come a great gulf of fire between here
and Europe, the United States could
manage to exist without any very serious
inconvenience.
We would cease to export breadstuff's
and provisions, it is true,’but only about
one-tenth of our products of that kind is
ever sent abroad anyway. The remain-
ing nine-tenths are consumed affhome,
and if we were compelled to manufacture
in our own country all of the goods
which we now buy in Europe, the in-
creased home demand due to the in-
creased number of operatives in our
factories would easily absorb the entire
product of American agriculture, and
leave us with no surplus whatever to
ship to European markets.
On the whole, we guess Wilhelm may
bring about that boycott, if he cares to.

“Women should not attempt,” says
an eminent woman physician of Lon-
don, “to carry on a profession after
marriage, f mean the women of the
upper and middle classes who go in+
the professions. It is not necessary
that they should be the bread-winners,
that duty should devolve upon the hus-
band; and I am confident that the ris-
ing generation would be healthier and
stronger in every way if the mothers
would exert themselves less. I look
anxiously at every baby that comes
under my notice in the hope that I
shall find some improvement in ths
type, some increase in stamina,
compared with the generation
that has preceded it; but in-
stead of this there is only steady de-
terioration observable. This deteriora-
tion is particularly noticeable amonq
the children of very active mothers.
The cleverest and most highly edu>
cated women, the women who take ths
most active part in public affairs, haws
the most weakly and puny, children.
“Another thing, women are goin -
into too active forms of exercise. When
a young married woman tells me tha*
she is captain of a cricket eleven or of
a football team I can only say I am
perfectly aghast. Women must plat ’
before themselves the alternative—• i
earn their living, to exercise their fa*
ulties, and to gratify their ambitions'
in professional career, or to become
good wives and mothers. And if th<ay
choose the domestic life they must rec-
ognize that they must sacrifice their
personal happiness and ambition in the
future happiness and success of their
children.—Boston Globe.

tional disturbances.
Depressing emotions frequently ap-
pear to play an important part in the
development of tuberculosis. Puer-
peral fever is also encouraged by de-
pressing moral emotions. “I have
often,” says M. Hervieux, “seen young
women in a fair way of recovery hur-
ried into mortal illness by reproaches
or mental agitation from whatever
cause.” This view finds very general
support among the members of the
profession.
The emotions always play an im-
portant part in the evolution of dis-
eases following surgical operations.
The facts observed under this head are
apparently in harmony with modern
theories as to the causes of contagion
and of immunity from infectious dis-
ease. On one of these theories, the
mesodermic cells, and particularly the
white corpuscles, are charged with the
function of protecting the organism
against the invasion of disease microbes.
We know that these leucocytes or
phagocytes, as they are variously
termed, possess the power of sending
out prolongations, and of enveloping
the object of their attack. In this way
they destroy the < invading foes by a
process of real intracellular digestion.
Now, dilatation of the peripheric ves-
sels occurs in asthenic emotions, as is
manifested by ruddiness of the skin,
increase of volume of circulation, and
functional exaltation. In asthenic
emotions, on the contrary, there are
diminution of circulation, contraction
of the blood vessels, and consequently
a condition unfavorable to the activity
of the phagocytes. Asthenic emotions
may thus be regarded as correspond-
ing in their action to trauma-
tisms, fatigue, chill, inanition,
loss of blood, etc. It is [not merely
that the condition of the vessels
changes under emotional disturbances,
but the phagocytes themselves exhibit
the influence of the changed conditions
in apparent loss of vitality with corre-
sponding loss of the property of being
attracted to the invading microbes, or
the products of their secretion. It has
been observed, too, that under defec-
tive conditions of nutrition, as well as
after nervous excitement or emotional
disturbance, the liability to infection
is greatly enhanced, and this appears
easily explicable on the theory that
the whole organism is, under such con-
ditions, impregnated with a poison suf-
ficient to engage all the activities of
the leucocytes, to the neglect of the in-
vading foe.
The influence of the emotions on in-
fection is, moreover, susceptible of di-
rect experimental demonstration. Hav-
ing under my care a number of feeble-
minded persons capable of taking in-
terest in a monotonous exercise, I made
use of them to try the effect of fear
upon a considerable number of small
animals—pigeons, rabbits and white
mice. Both the frightened animals and
others which had been left at rest were
then inoculated with cultures o<
pathogenic microbes—carbuncle, chick-
en cholera, pneumo-enteritis and
Frankel’s pneumo-coccus. In all
the experiments, without ex-
ception, the frightened animals were
the first to succumb, if the culture*
were virulent enough to cause death
while if the cultures were attenuated
only the frightened animals died. We
have seen animals little susceptible tc
an infection succumb to it readily un
der the influence of fear. Moral shod
is in reality equivalent to a cerebra’
commotion; and without forcing anal
ogies too far, of provoking cerebra'
lesions.—Revue Scientifique.

SABOT MAKERS OF BRITTANYJ BODILY EFFECT OF EMOTIONS.
People Who Live in the Forests and Are
Scarcely Civilized.
There are few more interesting trades
to be found in the world than that fol-
lowed by the “sabotiers” of Brittany,
civilized. 1
coming rarer, as that part of France
yearly has closer intercourse with,the
people of the outside world, who do
not use the wooden shoe; and as these
introduce the leather article among
the Breton country folk, the custom of .
wearing sabots is gradually dying out, !
along with the lace caps and the queer
Breton costumes. However, the sa- '
botler is still to be found, and has, so
far, retained all his romantic peculiari-
ties.
When the sabotier changes his lo-
cality—which he does as soon as his
stock of suitable wood has given out—
he begins by looking out for a tract of
woodland on which he will find suffi-
cient beach and walnut to give him at
least four or five years’ work. He then
chooses a site for his dwelling, which
is generally built where there is under-
growth beneath tall forest tress. He
clears a space large enough for his
house and yard, in which he will erect
some small outbuildings. The sabotier
then hires a man to build his habita-
tions, which, entirely finished, cost not
more than a hundred or a hundred and
fifty dollars. The walls are made of
turf and are not over two yards high,
surmounted by a very spacious pro-
jecting thatch roof of “genet” or the
broom plant. Through this roof the
smoke drifts in every direction, for
there is no chimney. There are one or
two tiny apertures cut in the mud
walls which are intended for windows;
and these, containing only one small
pane of glass attached to the rudest of
frames, are perfectly opaque from
smoke and dirt and impenetrable to
the brightest sunbeam.
Several trunks of trees are left stand-
ing inside the hut. They reach up to
the roof and, with the rough bark left
on, have the appearance of being pil-
lars; they also have their use, for nails
are knocked in all round within reach,
on which various household articles
and clothing are hung—hats, watches,
kitchen utensils, etc.—in fact anything
that will hang. There is at one end of
the house a wide sort of hearth, on
which huge heaps of leaves and damp
brushwood are made to smoulder for
the purpose of smoking and drying the
sabots and giving them a bright ma-
hogany color.
The sabots are hung by the heels for
a few hours only on long- sticks fastened
against the wall at the back of the fire.
The smoke at these times is so dense
that one cannot see across the little
apartment; yet it does not in the least
inconvenience the sabotier or his fam-
ily, who sit around the hearth on low
blocks of wood. The women sew and
the men contribute to the thick pall of
smoke from stumpy clay pipes and the
worst quality of tobacco. When these
huts have been occupied for a few years
the rafters and furniture are so pene-
trated with smoke as to be perfectly
black and shine like ebony.
The entire family live, eat and sleep
in this one apartment. Their beds are
much like cupboards with two shelves
and little, sliding carved doors. There
is a small ladder by which one climbs
up to the bed on the top shelf, and
there are very smoky curtains which
hang down in front; indeed, the whole
appearance of these beds is anything
but inviting, the linen from the gen-
eral atmosphere being about the color
of pale cinnamon.
In front of the main dwelling stands
a rustic shed of the same materials as
the house, under which the men carry
on their work, with the queerest of im-
plements, that are never seen out of
their “ateliers,” or workshops—inex-
plicable tools without names. Some
are like long knives fastened down at
one end by a ring passed through an-
other ring wiiich is inserted in a large
block of wood. This is used to finish
and smooth off all unevenness in the
sabots, which have been coarsely cut
into shape with hatchets. They are
then scooped out with a nondescript
tool; but before using these two round
holes are made in the wood, one down
into the heel, the other forward toward
the toe. This is done with a kind of
gimlet, and is meant to prevent the
gouging instrument from splitting the
sabot. The patient workers never
think of measuring the two little
blocks. A casual glance from time to
time at the first is all they require to
help with the second, and yet they are
always exactly alike.
The men are rough in appearance
and manner, and are seldom seen away
from their homes. Like the gypsies,
they nearly always marry among
themselves, consequently all the sa-
botiers in the country are acquainted
with each other, and are more or less
nearly related.—N. Y. Tribune.
A Sure Sign. t
The business man suspected that one
of his clerks was doing more gambling
than was good for him, and he sent an
old employe to investigate. He made
his report very soon.
“Well,” asked the employer, “what
did you learn?”
“That he bets some.”
“A great deal?”
“O, no, only a little.”
“How do you know?”
‘-‘Well, I asked him about a game of
poker he sat in the night before, and
he said, ‘Yes, I was there and I won
twenty-five"dollars.’ ”
“I should say that indicated he was
very deep in it,” exclaimed the horri-
fied employer.
“Quite the contrary,” dissented the
investigator. “If he had been at it
very long he never would have said, ‘I
won twenty-five dollars,’ but ‘I win
twenty-five dollars.’ That’s the only
genuine sign of a veteran at the busi-
ness.”—Detroit Free Press.

Fear May Produce Erysipelas—Danger to
Health of Moral Shock.
Many serious maladies have been at-

on the influence of fear in the con-

Three days is a very short time in
which to cure a bad c«se of rheumatism,
but it can be done, if the proper treat-
ment is adopted, as will be seen by the
following from James Lambert of New
Bi unswick, III.: “I was badly affl.cted
with rheumatism in the hips and lege,
when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. It cured me in three days.
I am all right4 iday, and would insist
on everyone who is afflicted with that
terrible disease to use Chamberlain’s
Pain Bflm and get well at once.” 50-
