There is no abatement of the famine
in Anatolia, Turkey. Reports from all
sections of that country are of the most
doleful character, many persons having
starved to death.
The season has set in with unusual

hotter than it usually is in July. There
had been a case of cholera reported in
Paris, but the rate of mortality was not
unusually high.
| There were some good fashions in the
old times. When Louis XI. wanted to
borrow book from the medical faculty
of Paris, in 1911, he was required to de-
post plate in pledge, and to get one of
his mobiles to join him in guarantee for the
safe return of the book.
Recently, in Norway, q man was lost
from his family, and, though the most
diligent search was made, he was not
found until after the lapse of three

sunk in quicksand up to his neck,
dead. To be confined in such . prison,
and there to he subjected to storm, thirst
and starvation, without the power even to
place hand to the exposed face while
waiting for death, must be an end dread

ed against my chest, my sensations could not have been different.
 A thought of the evil spirit which my friend had suggested faiRSly struggled into myTmind. As l. staggered to my feet 3 noise like the roaring of the sea was in my ear. The flames of the candle turned to a great yellow blue.' barely retained strength enough to stagger to the window and fling it open, The fresh, cold winter air rushed in at it. It gave mo intense pain, but 1t relieved me. In a moment more [ was able to chamber out of 1t upon the shed below. There remained until day-dawn. With my returning senses the truth came to me. That which had murdered the three men who slept before me in the blue chamber was nothing more nor less than the coal stove.
 It was provided with what is called a damper, and this, being caught in man. her which closed it, sent the poisonous gas into the room. It had been kindled, as a wood-fire would have been, at the hour of retiring, by some one ignorant of the danger possible from coal-gas, and they had slept never to awaken. Had I thrown myself upon the bed, also should have been found dead at daylight, in all human probability.
 As for the fact that neither doctor nor cornor discovered the truth, I have but to say that they were not deeply scientific men, that coal-stoves. were scarcely used in the place. and that it had not been mentioned th9 the blue chamber was thus heated.
 Of course I reioiced the household by my discovery, next morning, and equally, of course. Madame Matteau, who was not only freed from suspicion, but became the object of universal sympathy. She was always grateful to me, and she proved her gratitude by giving, what I soon asked for, the hand of her daughter Gabrielle in marriage

He had in his possession Q book of common prayer, presented by his moth- CT in 1856. The corps to which our friend was ordered marched for Corinth. After remaining in Corinth from March 3 to April 3, 1862 his corps was ordered to Shi- loh, and before going into the fight the men were ordered to pile their knapsacks with other surplus articles in neighbor- ing field. The action lasted from Satur- day morning until Monday night, ending in complete route of the confederates. when of course the knapsacks were Jeff behind, property of the federals, and in our friends knapsack was the prayer
 book. After lapse of eleven years, 8 gentleman of our village visited Macon
