Wiles of Traders Nullified by British Agents. . Late one afternoon a lanre caime from up-river came slowly alongside and made fast. In it were a man. a woman, a lad, and a small child. The man and the lad were working the canoe, anil as they came up, tlie man shouted some order to th ) lad ut t!ie stern. He repeated it more than once, an.l the lad at each repetition, started some new act. It struck nie a3 curious that the lad failed to understand what was said to him. I recognized the languag in which the man spoke as bein;; Nupe. He told me that lie was a Nupe, ar.d that the woman was his wife, mother of the lad and 'f the wee girl, As neither he nor his wife could make any sort of conversation witli either of the children, though these talked freely one to the other, it was reasonably clear that the claim to he '.heir ptrents was to be accep'ted in tlie Pickwickian sense only. My own interpreter, a worthy fellow with command of seven languages, could do nothing with them. Amateur interpreters, speaking all manner of curious dialects, tried, without success, to interest the "pikhins." Ultimately, a woman was found in the native town who was able to talk tlieir language, and then all was plain sailing. They cann from a pagan district a cfluple ol hundred miles or more above Rama, on the river, and, owing to famine had heen sold for three hags of corn to the canoe- man and his wife three weeks before we met. Later on, they were returned to their people, Ere that, they appeared in court t ��� testify against their purchasers, These were convicted, and are at this present time engaged in building operations on his Majesty's behalf at no great distance from Rama.���World's Work. Let's Talk About the Women. If some girls practiced mor1 on the *i*., range and less on tlie piano this would be a happier world". When it comes t> removing wrinkles photographers make tlie best beauty doctors. When Cupid marries an old tnai'l off all the young buds t'. ink tlie little fellow is getting altogether too charitable. If a man wants to put his wife in right with Cupid in case of emergencies let him take out a roll of life insurance. "Her color came and went," declared tlie popular novelist. But he failed to state that it went away on the hero's shoulder. Beauty may be skin deep. No one. objects to that. It's the fact that most of it is bought at the drug sturu that makes the thing a skin jraon. Flattery may turn a woman's head, hut usually it's peroxide. Don't heg a pretty girl for a kiss.

It was lu tin1 middle years of the last century that the eyes of a white man caught their tlrst glimpse ot tbe wonders of !!.:��� Yosemite. In January, IS,"*), Dr. Bunnell while prospecting for gold lu the SKrra Nevada Umniu. tains saw a stupendous cliff looming up la th�� /llsi,.:"-e. lint did not thsn tate time to make any Investigation. In March, IKM. the Mariposa battalion. Commanded by Major Savage, of which Dr. Bunnell was a member, penetrated the mountains In pursuit of Indians, wlio hud Been giving great trouble to gold miners, prospectors nnd setters. On the 21st of Mnrch they entered the valley, bplng, so far ns known, the tlrst white men to obtain n near view of its sublime cliffs nud wouderftil waterfalls, although a Captain Walker, wltb several companions, had crossed the Sierras and looked down Into the valley shortly before. Dr. Bunnell quickly recognized In tbe giant cliff, now called Bl Capltan. tbe towering rock that had attracted bis nttentlon the year before, although he had then viewed It from a point fully forty miles away. [���'our years later the first party of tourists visited the valley, arriving in .lime. 1835. A member of this party wrote a description of it for the Mariposa Gazette, which was widely copied In newspapers and magazines In this nnd other countries, being the first authentic, description ever published.��� National Monthly.

The ornate and profusely decorated bridescake of to-day is-' another instance of tl.e elaboration of the simple nvtmiis >of our ancestors. It had its j origin In "Confarreation," a Bimiji. mode <>f marriage, made in the presence of the high priest and ten witnesses, at which bread made ol spelt (commonly known as German wheatl was eaten together. One old writer, D.C. Moffat, suys: "The Eralish when the bride comes from church, are wont to cast wheat upon her head." Herrick says, speaking to tlie bride, "Wliile snme repeat Your praise, and bless ynu, sprinkling you with wheat." Nowadays it has developed into an hoterogeneoua aggregation ol indigestible comestibles, whicli love-sick maidens put under their pillows "' nights, and none but the bravest submit to gastric assimilation, JEBEL MUSA.

The mountain itself divides Into three parts, and there has been much discussion us to the exact site of the giving of the law, .lebel Musa, the central of tbe three peaks, is now considered as best fulfilling the couditious described In Bci'Ipltire. At its base is the broad plain of sufficient extent to permit tlie encampment of the hosts of Israel. The peak itself rises to a height of 7,3113 feet, and on Its northeast ern slope, at an elevation of nbout ."i.noo feet. Is the monastery of St. Catharine. So precipitous Is the side of the mountain ut tiiis point ihnt tlie only melius of access to the monastery is by n windlass. In this lofty dwelling place, however, are housed some thirty monks of the Greek church.

I am'glaJ to see tbat there is a many considered that they were the movement on foot in the city to form best companies in the regiment, the/ an association for ex-military and ex-, were certainly the strongest, an.1 of naval men of all branches. Tnis 13,' better physique than the heidquarter undoubtedly, a thing that shoul 1 ex-! men; befoie that when we had artl ist in every city in the Emyire, and in fact, is to be found in most of tli 3 larger ones. Once a man has soldiered, or sailored, there U no doubt that he will always mlss the "camaraderie" and si lilt of mutual friendship and help that I3 so pronounced ln both services. Regiments or ship* are Just like big families, an' only those w|jo have spent a number of years in either, know wbat a "soros- tliing lacking" there is about civic life afterwards. An association of that kind, tends to replace lt toe certain extent, and should do an immense amount of good. Through its medium all discharged soldiers and sailors, militiamen and volunteers, couU get to know each other, and help eich other, an.l lf a room can ba ���taken and fitted up, where we can get tog..ther and have a good "grouse" at things ln general, why so much the betttr Another Idea, arising out of the same movement i.s the enrolling of memhers of the association into the National Rete.'VBj a corps recently raised in Great Bi itain, a description of which appeared in Saturday's Issue of tlie Westminster Dally News. New Westminster is the first city of the Dominion to enter upon an effort to support the National Reserve movement, and all honor to the Royal Cltv on that account. The idea ls simply registration, and no liability whatever is involved. It Is defl ed to obtain an.l L��ep on record the nimes and addresses of ai many trained fighting men ai is possible, in order that ln the case of a natin-al emergency arising, calling for the embodiment of all available refe ves, there may be on hand, a list of those whose nervines wonld be mest deEiied. The idea Is good anl deserving of all support, and once Mors I may say. the fact that New Westminster leads the way In this movement shows that she ls not quit 1 so oblivious to her military obligations as th? pare-s of neighboring cities seem to think, j'.idglns; from some o:' the artie'ea we hard lately read. A tood work, quiet anl unosten- tat'ous, is being canied out by certain membtr3 of lh�� 18th Field Ambulance, Canadian Army Medical Corps, o.' Xancou'.c". Being fortunately toi- sesf e 1 of many musical members, several oi' whom aie old "pros.," the corps har. undertaken the endowment cf a ward In St. Paul's Ho-plta to help meet with the ever-gro.vin; member of applications for admission To this enl they bave organized themselves into a philharmonic society and ure giving -concerts ln vari- 0U3 of the coast towns and cities. II Is unde stcod that t-iey have a booking for the Opera Hous?, Nev Westminster, and se.Mng that tlve mllitli boys of Vancouver are giving their services to such a deserving object, apart f.om the fact that tliey put on a really first-class show, 1 br>Pe that they will meet with all t'ne support possible in this citj". I believe that the hospital is remitting with an offer to the 18th to alio* their member' to graduate in the technical branch of their vork at tlie hospital, thei e iy learning in practice what tou'd only be taught by theory In the diill tall. This is the sort of spirt that go's to make an efficient corps and it is hard to sav whether Major Mel a'ish, or the directors of the hospital, are to be congiatulated most. lery thera is no doubt fiat we had the hest, not only in the regiment bu: in the Dominion of Canala, as was proved by the winning of certain open competitions. If the city could do that when Its population was les-. 1han a half of what it is now, lt seems strange that conditions are no better at piesent, an.l I cannot help thinking that some difficulty or grievance must exist which only needs being brought to light in order to be rectified by those responsible for the welfare of the regiment, What has been done once can he done again and there is absolutely no reason why this city should nat possess ln the future as fine a body of miil:iamen a-: she did In the past. It ls only the start that Is needed, lt Is hard to arouse people's interest in a thing which ls as far as they are concerned, a chimera. There must be tome- thing tangible, something to be seen before any eTort can be expects: from the civilians, but I have no doubt that If the 10-lth only make sufficient progress to bilng themselves Into evidence to any recognizable degree, that that part of the population which Is so unfortunate as to be iinab'e to enlist, will do iheir utmos' to heln things along and make a regiment In the Roval City of which no only we, but the whole of Canada may te proud. It is not too ambltiouc a task, the men are here many already proven, there are men to lead also, and all that is needel is a littl" go-ahead sjirlt on the part of those administrating, whole-hearted support on the 1 art or the rank anl file and the good-will and assistance of every right-thinking citizen In New Westminster. CRUELTIES PASSING AWAY. The 101th Regiment paraded at the drill hall on Thursday evening as usinl There were about six men and a co.or sergeant present. II would be Interesting to know the reason of theso small attendances, whether the fault lies with the of fleers the non-commissioned ranks, tho men, or their conditions of aJr- vice. I am rather inclined to think the latter ll the main cause, as bj doubt, the camp in June works a great lar'ship on many oa account 0 loss of wa' es or ;os i dy employment attendant on lt, a; was the cas; with sc.eral last year. Cut a'l d's- ea8es have tbclr remedies, and I hop thnt tcfore lon1: those of the 1o4t' will be curei, an.l the regiment will have become a source of pride for a'l ot us. 1 would be very glad to hear from any of my fil?nds no,v serving, or who havo previously served ai ti what they consider to be amiss and what rcmedv they wo ild apply.. There Is n< t'-.lng like getting to the root of trouble, an.l those who are most deeply concerned are naturally the one* to know best when anything ls wrong. One thing we can be sure of Is that there ls no lack of men ln the clt:;. One could walk down Columbia atreet at any time of the day and pick out dozens who have obviously aerved cither ln the Regulars or Mil- tla and if properlv approached most of these would willingly re-enllst, but at the same time there has g it to hi some inducement In the shape of entertainments, athletics, etc., to prevent the di Ills from becoming too wearisome. We have already seen what the 104th ean do In tlie later; two very exce lent boxln? an.l wrest- llne tournevs were held at the drill hall, In which members of the regiment gained a goodly share of the honois, but conspicuous only by ite absence was the scarlet uniform amon ,11 the spectators. Surely there should have been several ener getlc non-coms, louiidlir, up tecrults on an occasion H'toithat ? I have often heard t'ie complaint made that the city take3 no Interest In the militia. That Is probably so. 1 don't supjoee thc majority of the citizens are e* en aware that we hnve a regiment here, but whose fault Is that? Everybody knows that the Salvation Army are here because they mako themselves heard; everyone ���would know the 104th are here lf they would only let themselves bo seen. When wp had A and B Companies of the Sixth Regiment In this city, each other in the bush, and sometimes by a .jougli swaying up and down across the water we knew that monkeys were having a game ther s. Then our men would sit very still and ouiet until one of them with a gun would kill his victim. As soon as the body fell all the men would give a uec^ groan and then plunge over- hoard to swim for the dead monkey, leaving me alone in a canoe tipping up an:l down dangerously "The natives may almost be said to speak tie monkey language. At isast, they know the meaning of various cries and can imitate them j ei fcetly. One day when there were monkeys 11 sight and the men wanted a dinne ��� one of them squatted down an.l, putting his fingers to his nostrils, mido peculiar beastlike crlrs like a femab monkey calling for her comrades. Sure enough, after a little whi'e t.vo monkeys approachel in answer ta thj call." Clean, New, Up-to-Date URE AT PRICES YOU WILL BE PLEASED TO PAY HOUN' DAWG SONG.

Mrs. Harrison mentioned that she found people making evening dress suits tn the district for rich black gentlemen who live in European style. ���'With regard to Industrial progress," said Mr. Harrison, "the Catholic missions are far In advance of tbe Protestant missions.'

Leaving t^ie British Isles out of the question, it inay bo said that the re- maindor of what is known as the Hrlt- ishish Kmpire is made up of two classes of elates. On tbe one hand are the great democracies such as our own Dominion or the commonwealths of the southern hemisphere; on thc other is the Indian Kmpire and the countless other vast and Important crown colours and dependencies, all of which look more or less to the India and Colonial office in London for direction and advice. The first class govern themselves; the latter arc governed. It follows .then that tho people of the great self governing democracies are of a nature differing from those of thc lands which hnve not yet STUKT Uf GALLANTRY OF BRITISH SAILORS (Contlnuea trom page one; he said "Good-bye" to tlie chief engineer on the bridge.

Mr. Greenwood unders'ood a'so Ihat an apprentice of tho Lincalrn Jumped from his ship an 1 tried to save the life of Chief Officer Crow- ther, of the Guillemot, but unfoi tu- nately he failed. After outlining Ihe disaster, Mr. Greenwood expressed the sympathy with the relatives of the men who went down in this ship "obviously," as he said, "after doing everything humanly possible and some tilings super-human, and, in many ways, things almost humanly impossible, to save the ship and their own lives." NATURAL GAS CHEAP. reached thoir status of governance. The inhabitants of the former class are for the most part the descendants of people of British stock who have carried with them overseas the Anglo-Saxon forms of government, which in brier are that one authority from their own midst is selected by the people to order matters for the benefit of the whole. In India, and to a large extent in Africa also, fhe people of British or European stock are in the minority, and. but for the fact that they hold the upper hand, would be an indiatingnishahte item in the \ast colored populations whose des tinies they order. But the majority of the peoples of these lands do nol eject, their representatives :ind ��!����� They are ruled by men or thc same ( race at, those composlD democracies. It follows also that the status both of wtdte and colored races varies according to thc part of the empire in which members of tliem may be. ln Central Africa, for instance, the white man is a veritable autocrat. Iiet it bo said again that���he rules. His word is law, the native pays him that respect which, as matters now stand, it is good that he should pay. Or again in the Indian Kmpire and in Egypt we find a solitary white man directing affairs touching the welfare of thousands with success. He is practically an autocrat, and is respected as such���and as a rule also looked np to as a man.

Has Many Advantagss��� Much Wastage in Canada. Natural gas has many advantage; ub fuel and as a source of power. It is cheap, efficient, clean, ancl it is easilv transported for use ia the vlc- Inlty cf tho fields. By reason of its unstable and fugitive nature, however, it has frequently been recklessly wasted, hoth in Canada and tbe Dni-I tei States, says Conservation. j Th? most valuable uses for natural, gas are for the development of power and fc domestic purposes. It is esti i mated that with gas at 12 cents per, thousand, electric power can be de-j velope 1 a3 cheaply as it can be generated by water power at Niagara. Ip ; Canada, the producing gas wells ar.; j old | situated in the counties of Welland,\ Haldlmand. Not folk, Kent, Essex.] Bruce and Brant, in Ontario; at Mcnc- ton, N. B. ancl at Medicine Mat an 1 vicinity, in Alberta, The cost of this gas. as sold, vai ies from 10 to 40 cents per one thousand cubic feet in Ontario, to about five csnts per one thousand cubic feet iin quantity) inl Albeita. It follows, therefore, that electric poWrr can le generate' In a, portion of Alberta at cne-half the, cost at Niagara. | Tiie history of the natural gas in, Canada has been similar to Ihit Inl the l'nited States. In both countries, j its discovery has, in nearly every' case, been incidental to. tbe searetl tor oil ��nd haB been at first regarded j S3 a nuisance by the oil driller. For the great I many eirs In the exploitation of ths great Appalachian oil fields in Pennsylvania and West Vir; i:iia, it was j permitted to go to waste until 1 s rn-1 ormous industrial value was discovered. Now, however, the gas is use 1 to furnish fuel and power to the many . industrial establishire'i'.a of Western I Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. lni 1SS5-U the great gas fields of Ohio and Indiana were discovered, and the same disgraceful history was rereat-1 ed. A few years later the Kansas- Okiakoma fields were discovered, and tliere tha same history was, in a measure, rep'ea el, although the value t of the gas was more promptly apprr- j elate 1 nnd the industrial envelopment j vas corresponding mor^ rapid. Let us see wbat history lias be:'n j in Canada, and note what sho ild be] donr> in order to prevent the waste of s;;ch a valuable natural resource. In the past, enormous quantities o' natural gas have been waste:l, both in Eastern aud Western Canada, in a gas field, a careless driller may cither lose comrol of the well through carelessness or Ignorance, or abandon t'-o same without plugging it Not onlv is his own property destroyed In this wa'-, bit the surrounding area is also drained, thus Injuring the entire community through the negligence of a single individual.

William Cockle a well known Kootenay entomologist, that wood ticks, which abound ia British Columbia, carry germs which cause spinal meningitis and berl berl, and that the bite of the insects is frequently fatal. Interviewed tonight Dr. W. O. Ros?, a leading physician, eaid that this was well known to members of the medical profession both In the province and in Montana thirteen >ears ago. Dr. Host' stated that he had had four cases of spinal menlnci is direct. Iy traceable to bites from wood ticks, and that two of these cases were fatal. Bites on the nai e of the neck cause spinal meningitis, and thos* on other parts of bodv- are frequently responsible for dangerous local diseases. Interest In the subject is great locally on account of thej death a few days ago from spinal meningitis of the Robley child. I INTERURBAN TRAMS Westminster Branch. ��� Cars leave B. C. E. R.

The result was a win for the visitors by 1-0. Previous to tho game, a brass band discoursed popular music to tlie large assembly gathered to cheer their team on to victory. Dnvo Leith handled the whistle and on kicking off the Ranchers attacked the Victoria goal only to meet with a near perfect defence by the sturdy hacks, who kicked oat of touch when danger threatened their goal. Half way through the first half the Capitals got Into tlieir swing, their right forward wing being a puzzle to the Coquitlam defence. Soon after resumption of play the Victorias went ahead with a shot that Worrall had no chance to save. This ended the scoring. Worrall, the Coqultlnm goaltender, ls in a class by himself in this province. He hails from Sunderlanl having played on the famous soccer team of that city in the English flrst division. Coquitlam meets the Victorias on the latter's groun.'s at the Island City next Saturday, the total number of goals scored on the two games will determine the winners. The Ranchers will liave to show a decided improvement ln form If they would retain any hopes of winning the trophy, as their opponents api.ear to be the best in the field among the amateurs o��thi�� province.

I don't know haw they do it, but I' 1 like to. lt must be a wonderful comfort to he able to smoke while you are under water. Another strange thing about the Cubans: When they dress after a game, tbey always put their hats on flrst. They take their baths: then solemnly put on their lids, and there they are, pip? in mouth and hat on head. They get their shirts on ov^r their heads without taking off their boanet3.

Back at the white man's coming Its strong new cables swung, And many the sturdy miner It bore with hope still young. Bore to a land of promise, Bright with the lure of gol.l; Gold that might cure heart longings, And- cheer when the heart grows old. Long was the march and weary, But vigor and hope pressed on, Marching and tolling and hoping; Awake and away ere tbe dawn. Some in that pulsing army Returned with hope still high, And some with laggard footsteps; And some laid' clown to die.

Harper's Weekly. Dr. Gans of Munich Is Certain Ht Can Cross the Atlantic. Dr. Paul F. Gans of Munich. Germany, proposes a transatlantic flight in a dirigible balloon sometime next March. If the plans succeed, the doctor expects to makefile air passage in five days. Dr. Gans believes he is in n position to avoid the mistakes of Wei!, man. Vaniman and others, who chose impossible routes for their (light*. Dr Gans proposes to tHke advantage of the trade winds from, the northwest from Teneriffe, Canary Islands, ami ; thinks lie has h booH chance in -this i Way tit reaching the West Indies. He proposes, to end his (light at Barbados if necessary, but if possible to con- tinue it to the coast of Florida. This route was chosen only after an investigation extending through years. He found that at the period of the vear he lias selected the trade wind is practically undisturbed by adverse currents. The records shov'tliat all the hurricanes, numbering 181, between 1680 snd 19T.9, were in the months of June. July, August, September nnd October. Dr. Gons figures that the cost of tae trip, ehould it be mad:, will he ap. proximately $135,000. It took $70,000 to build his dirigible, known as the Suchard, and the cost of the hydrogen L'as fnr inflating it will add another $12,000. He has obtained a supply of 52,'i.OOO cubic feet of gas to inflate the 250 toot cigar-shape J envelope, which has a diameter of fifty feet in the centre. Dr. Gans says the two big problems to overcome will be atmospheric disturbances that might divert the airship from its course and the ability to remain aloft the necessary length of time. He believes that he has solved both difficulties. The first lie thinks has been solved in the selection of his route. The second he has dealt with in the equipment of his airship. He has figured that his airship will lose weight from the instant of its start. This is due to the consumption of food and drink and of oil and fuel. He has plans for meeting this condition. Tliere are two methods by wllich he expects to accomplish it. First, the airship can add to its weight by taking on sea water as ballast. Thfs will be accomplished by the use of fish-shaped buckets let down by a steel cable operated by a motor. The wc.'.ei. wjil be stored Irj a cockpit &nd ttSh ne let out il it becomes necessary to reduce the weight. Second, the lifting power can be reduced by lowering the t"mriprature of the gas. Two 'means will be used to attain this point. One method is to cover the upper sur'nc of the balloon with a thin cloth saturated with a chemical composition that nets as an absorbent lor the moisturs and serves to a certain degree to counteract the beating tendencies o' Uie sun's rays. By means cf another device the cloth can be sprayed with sea water. The big L'as envelope will be fitted with three nir ballonete for tbe pur- pose of keeping it perfectly distended. As the L'fis escapes from the balloon nir will be pumped into the ballonets. The combined capacity oi these air bags is 111,804 cubic feet, which if necessary can t::ke the place created by the loss of gas. Ths Triple Plume.

The medical correspondent of The London Grnpl.iic says that a satisfactory result has come to light reriri- inc" the treatment of cancer by the radium method at King's College hospital. A large cancer crowth bad to lie dealt with. An opera'ion pr vious'y In '. been performed, but tbe cancer returned with .renewed virulence. X rays and other treatments 'were then triecj without success, and ti it a 1 ly 251 milligrams of pure radium bromide were applied for twenty-four hours.

As a resu't of tl ���> treatment it is stated that pain quickly ceased and the growth rapidly shrank up so that at the end ol five weeks it had dis- appeared. A doctor in describing thi* c se says that if this result can be repeated and the technique of thp treatment so improved thnt even desp- seated tumors can be brought under the radio-active influence there will be very good reason for supposing that tie long hoped for conquest of cancer, i- indeed at hand.

WESTMINSTER DAILY NEWS PAGE SEVEN THE PAPAL GUARDS. Th; Most Unique and "trUing Army In the Worlt'. Tbe most singular and striking body nf trained soldiers serving under any pitentate is that which garrisons the Pope's palace in Rome. Fn m the silver-casqued Noble Guards, the Swiss Halbordiers in doublet and ruff, down to the Palatine Guards in shako vnd the Pontificial Gendarmes in bear- ;kin. they form a distinctive feature if the papal court and a befitting set- ling to a mediaeval picture. Their |gorgeous or quaint uniforms, glancing helmets, flashing arms, glittering breastplates ��� like tbe black velvet [doublets, ruffs and rapiers ol the gentlemen-in-waiting���are in perfect artistic harmony with their surroundings, from which tliey receive and on which thry besto.v tbat correlative fitness of the Vatican, although tbe presence of these troopers and foreign mercen- ari , morally speaking, is an anomaly and an anachronism. ' ' This singular little army of a spiritual potentate consists of noble Roman volunteers, burgher civic guards and Italian or foreign mercenaries, and c - prises four companies, differently armed, uniformed and officered, and each possessing a distinct history of it? own and a separate organization. First in dignity .and antiquity come the No' 'e Guards, in their scarlet tunics, golden epaulets and silver helmets. Raised in 1485 under tbe name of Light Horsemen, they were formed into two squadrons; and many years later, in 1555, tbeir strength was increased by the addition of 100 Iree lances, chosen exclusively frcm the scion of noble bouses who could show a sufficient number of quarterings. The two corps were reoricnazed and united into one by Pope Pius VII. in 1801. when, after the stress and storm of the great French revolution, he hae righted the ship of St. Peter. These noble guardsmen mount guard in the ante-chamber of his holiness' private partment, and escort the Pope when he drives out. They now number 6!) all told, under the command of a lieutenant-general. The Swiss Guards, who rank next in precedence, were first enrolled hy the fighting Pope Julius II., and subsequently, daring tbe 17t' and 13th centuries, three companies were added to the original one. Alter many vicissitudes, they were finally reduced to one company, which mustets 122 men of all ranks, commanded by a captain ranking as colonel. Tbe other two corps of household troops���namely the Palatine nr Palace Guards and Pontificial Gendarmes���are far more modern, r.nd do not possess the same stirring traditions. They are chiefly employed in church ceremonies, conjointly with thj gendarmes, to maintain order among the crowds who throng St. Peter's on such occasions; and they are called out about once a month to drill or to mount guard. Tbey number 170 men of all ranks, and are all volunteers, providing tlieir ���own uniform and receiving a small annual allowance for incidental expenses. The Pi ntifleial Gendarmes���thou<.'h last in precedence, by no means llu* least in appearance of the lour oon- tificial ft rps���were raised in IHlfi to replace the French military police in- fltituted hy Napoleon I., and. like the Irish military constabulary, were charged with the proteetion of persons and property lh rough nut the whole papal states. Reduced in nlitn- hers and dut. s. tbey now muster but 96 men and officers, and perform po- lice duties within the Vatican at state ceremonies, as on tbe occasion of tbe present Pope's jubilee, and act in conjunction with tbe Palatine Guards in keeping order within St. Peter's. Finger Arithmetic. The earliest way of counting was by means of the fingers, and in the picture writing of the ancients the drawing o( an open hand invariably ��� signified the numeral V. 8nme nations, indeed, even went so far bs to make their week consist of (ive days. A few.tribes were not con'.-nt U> count ���solely by the fingers alone and added their toes as well. The Astecs. for ex- Ample, counted in multiples ol twenty and had twenty days in their months. Tbe Roman notation consisted of a Un fingered system, and tbe X used to signify ten is. alter all. only two Vs placed point to point or apex to apex, the V typifying five. HOW TO CARE FOR BOOKS. Mamma's Definition. The family was gTpup4d around th* library table when the little son look cl up from his book antl asked: "Papa, what is an euotist:-" "An egotist," the father answered, "is a HI1.U who thinks he is cleverer than any one else." Rut the mother, laughing coldly, appended t "No. my non, that is not quite right. An egotist is a man who says lie is -cleverer than any one else ��� every -man thinks bo is." Pure Milk Law. England's pure fowl low requires that every can nf condensed milk must contain a label visible to tbe purchaser on wbich are the words ""Machine skimmed milk" ur "Skimmed milk." Dr. J. l��\ Couttes now suggests to tbe British Local Government that cans of condensed skimmed milk should be labeled, "Skimmed milk; unlit for infants." ' I has ma lo ���a special study of the subject. Cats In Ancient Egypt. Tbe ancient Kgyptians treated cats with great distinction. It was a crime to kill them, and when they died they received a public burin,!, at which the people mourned, having Art shaved fc3 their eyebrows ns a .token of sorrow. The most prominent cats were upon death embalmed in drugs and spices, and cat mummies have been found side by side with those ol kings. Hts Hfct Joks.

It is surprising bow few of tbe many owners ol books arc aware of the sim- f\s means required to preserve tbem in a useful condition and what astonishment is felt when a boo': removed fr��m the shelf leaves one side behind or dangling by the hinge. Heat, gas, liuht and. by no means leasi, electricity are the chief disintegrating influences r on leather bindings. Books bound previous to 1850 have the advantage over more modern ones, as most if not all of tlie tanners ot that earlier time used tanbark. Since that date the use of sulphuric and oxalic acids has been almost universal, and so Insidious are tlieir effects th-J they can hardly bj realized until the damage is dc-e. Old books brought lrom other countries are apt to succumb very quickly to the altered climatic conditions. Lack of moisture in the air, together \vi\h our modern sy. em of heating, us well as gaslight, "central" beat and electricity, lias a very injurious effect upon them in a few years. The use of lubricant or food is almost esential to offset this. A large import.-!- lias expressed a wish that every imported book of value might be 80 treated at once to fortify it in its new environment. Even und".- the most faVorable conditions the need of some such treatment is becoming recognized, for the Vatican and other noted libraries are being treated to prevent dry rot, the leather's greatest enemy. Years of drying out of tin natural oil in the skin and the total absorption of surh oil wbere the tanning is done with acids have brought the conviction that some means must be resorted to by which the life of tlie Lather can be restored. Very few think of placing leather bound books oh t.ie lower shelves to avoid the greater heat above; o! preventing sunlight from striking them, for, like electricity, it burns and fades the leather if concentrated upon it for any length of time; cf giving tliem light and air, with plenty of circulation. Bindings suffer far more from being shut behind glass doors than from the accumulation of dust or even from careless handling by ignorant servants. The dusting of books is something which should be trusted to carefi 1 or expert hands only, tor the ninges can easily be '. roken by dropping or the corners knocked off, particularly if the leather be dry. The vacuum cleaner, of course, does away wit.i such disasters in the electrically equipped house. Overcrowding the shelves is another cause of damage. It not only rub-i the sides, but prevefits the proper circulation of air. A Move Impending. It was after morning school, and the teacher was in sucn a ��ood temper that little Tommy sid'jd up to him to discuss a decidedly personal matter. "Pleese, teacher." tbe small boy began. "I farcy I shall le leaving thii school soon." The tutor looked intereste 1 and hazarded a r lery as to the reason for this parting uf the ways. "Well, sir," continued the pupi', "mother burnt the. door of the coaJ- house and the lid of tlie copper, and father's started chopping down the stairs." "Yes, my boy," said the schoolmaster kindly. "But what makes you imagine you'll be leaving the district?" "Well, you see, teacher," continued tbe boy, "when we've burnt tbe stairs we always move!"���Answers. Saved by a Snake. Count Zinr.endt.rf, the founder ol the Moravians, visited North America in 17-12 and for a short time labored as a missionary among the Shawnee Indians. When lie first went to them they received him with coldness, and a plot was formed to assassinate him. Tl.) count was sitting one evening in his wigwam upon a bundle of dry weeds which he had gathered for hi.-i bed. While he was writing by tbe light of a small lire a rattlesnake, warmed into activity, crawled over one of his legs. Just then tbe murderous savages lifted the blanket thai served for a door and looked in. They stood motionless for some minutes watching the aged man and tbeu, gliding from tbe scene, fled into tbe forest. From that night the missionary found tbem friends and listeners. An Almin c Started In 1686. The oldest almonac in existence h the "Almanach National," wliich has been issued by tbe French Government since 1688. Its name has been r' anged a good many times during iti career. Originally the "Alniauacli Royal." it became "National" in 1793, "Imperial" in 1805 and reverted to its original name nine years later. Since then the title has been altered four times. Like most i ublications of this sort, the "Almanach National" has grown bulky -itl) advancing years. The flrst isst^e contained forty- eight pages, as compared with 1,580 pagoj now.���London Chronicle. Couldn't Keep It Qulst. Being called to his feet unexpectedly at tne gathering and asked to respond informally to the toast "The Ladies," Mr. Gilfers hemmed and li.wed and began: "My friends, all that I am, all that 1 have in the world, I owe to a woman���my wife." Hero he was interrupted by that lady herself, who arose and said: "I told you when you put the property in my nsme you'd give it away tb ��� first time you opened your mouth."

"The 1 :degroom at a wedding is one kind." ANCIENT WILLS. The Mohammedan Says Adam Left a Record One. The Mussulman claims that our forefather Adam left a will, and that seventy legions of angels brought him sheets of paper and quill pens, nicely nibbed, all the way from Paradise, and that the Archangel Gabriel set his seal as a witness. Jacob, the third of the Hebrew patriarchs died in Rgypt at the age ol 147, but was buried by liis sous in the I Cave of Machpelah at Hebron in Palestine, the traditional burial place, of the prophets and other Biblical characters of their time.. It can be stated that the very earliest reference to an actual testamentary disposition is by tlie words of this patriarch: j "And Ivael said unto Joseph, Behold, I die; but God diall be with you huh bring you again unto tne laud of your fathers. '"Moreover, I have given to thes one portion above my brethren, which 1 took out of the hand of the Amorite . With my sword .md with my bow. "And Jacob cull d unto h,'.: sons, and ! said, gat.icr yourselves together, that 1 may t I you that which shall be- j [all you in the last days." In the forty-eighth and forty-ninth ' chapters of Genesis are these word-t of tlie dying patriarch; and here is found not only the disposition of "portion" to Joseph, but tha character ot t^ch son is shown, the virtue or, fault of each is described, to each a symbolic emblem is assigned, and to each a Iuture is prophesied. Here is a will, in fact, and in prophesy. Homer cites this will, made in favor of PiTaeus, to whom Telemachm bequeaths all the presents that had been made to him by Menelaus, lest they 1 '1 into the bauds of his enemies, but ho adds: "In case I shoufti slay them and survive, you are to restore them to me in my palace, a task as joyous to you to accomplish as to myself to profit by." Perhaps, however, this may be objected to as proceeding from fabulous history, lu Biblical tradition, hovfever, we find very early evidence ol oral bequests. To Luelan we are indebted for the noble, touching, and certainly eccentric will of liudamidas of Cirinth. 'ihis philosophical in.'l.idual, who was extremely poor, was on terms < f close aud intimate friendship���friendship in the full and true acceptance of the terms ��� with Arethaeu-. and Charixenes of Sycion. Finding himself on his deathbed, he made a will, which while exciting only the ridicule of the thoughtless or the worldly wise, calls for respect and admiration in the breasts of those who know the value of real cordiality, and can appreciate his simple confidence in its sincerity. "I bequeath to Arethaeus my mother to support; and I pray him to have a tender cure for her declining years. "1 bequeath to Charixenes my daughter to marry, and to give her | to that end the best portion be can afford." When this will, continu.s the narrator, was read in the public square (this being the accepted mode of pro- ceed ing at that time) all tliose wh.) were aware of the poor circumstances of the testator, but were incapable of recognizing tlie ties which linked them to his friends, turned these unusual clauses into a joke, and there was not one who did not go away laughing and observing; Arethaeus and Charixenes will be lucky fellows if they accept their legacies, end lie's no fool to have made himself their heir, though he be dead and tlr^y living." But these honest legatees no sooner learned what was expected of them by their deceased friend than the. hastened to put liis wishes into execution. Charixenes, however, only survived F.udamidas five days; and then Arethaeus, acting in exact conformity with the will he had undertaken tj execute, assumed the share bequeath: ed t) his co-executor. He supported the mother of Kudamidas; and in duo time found a suitable husband for bis daughter. Fire Under Water. Fire under water may hi produced by placing some small piec.s of phos- piiortu in a conical shaped tumbler and then covering them with the crys- t. '.s of chlorate of potash. Next fi'.l the glass with water and then add a' few drops of sulphurio acid, the acid to be app.)ea directly to the phosphorus and potash crystals by meana of a long tube. If the experiment is properly- carried out tongu?s of bright red flame can be seen Hashing- up through tne water, the intense chemical heat produced by the action of the sulphuric acid on tlie potash and phosphorus being sufficient to inflame the latter, although entirely covered with water. Without Ceremony. More or less ceremony usually attends the laying of a corner-stone, but in one case at least It was laid quite simply. Two men were talking of the fortune of a third when on said: "He made his- lirst lucky strike in eggs. He bought 10,000 dozen at a low figure, put them in cold storage and sold them at a profit of more than 300 per cent. That was.the corner-stone of his present fortune." "Ah," exclaimed the other man. "Then the hens laid it!" TIE FIRST GRAY HAIR SH OF AGE Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color of the Hair and Make It Grow, A harmless remedy, made from common garden sage, quickly restores gray hair tu natural color, 'lhe care ofthe hair, to prevent it from losing its color and lustre, is just as important as to care for teeth to keep them from discoloring. Why spend money for cosmetics and creams to improve the complexion, nnd yet neglect your hair, when gray hair i3 even more conspicuous and suggestive of age than wrinkles or a poor complexion ? Of the two, it is easier to preserve the natural color and beauty of the hair than it is to have a good complexion. All that is necessary is the occasional uso of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a preparation of common garden Sage and Sulphur, combined with other valuable remedies for dry, harsh, fade 1 hair, dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair. After a few applications of thi3 simple, harmless remedy, your hair will gradually be restored to its natural color, in a short time the dandruff will bo removed, and your hair will no longer come out but will start to grow as Nature intended it should. Don't neglect your hair, for it goes further than anything else to make or mar your good looks. You can buy this remedy at any drug store for fifty cents a bottle, and your druggist will give your money back if you are not satisfied after using. Purchase a bottle today. You will never regret it when you realize the difference it will make in your appearance. Special Agents, D. 3. Curtis and II Ryall. A Reform Movement.
