fastened my departure. A young
lady, Miss Edith Carlyon, who had
been staying, under the chaperonage

hotel as myself, had made deep i'm

to return to England under the escort

order to have the pleasure OF travelling

The boy who spends an hour of each
evening loungiDg idly on the street
corners, wastes in the course of year
three hundred and sixty-fve precious
hours, which, ifapplied to study, would

in addition to wasting an hour each

The Horse PLAGUE in Egypt.

THE English Veterinarian for 0ctO-
Der gives some accounts of the horse
plague in Egypt from which we CLEAN
that virulent form of anthracOid dis
ease is reported to exist among the
horses in that country. The term
equine typhus is applied to the affect
ion, but there does not seem to be any
reason for the suggestion that the dis
ease is of the nature of typhus. The
malady, it is presumed, was contract
ed during the Abyssinian expedition.
Some of the Egyptian horses which
accompanied the expedition were first
attacked at Massowah, and many of
them died, others recovered, and these
or others which had been exposed TO
the affection introduced it into Egypt.
About the month of July the epizootic
was observed at Ismalia. In August
it reached Cairo, ard spread rapidly to
the towns of the Delta. In ZagaZig
the losses among horses and mules
have been considerable, and in the
country around still more serious re-
suits of the progress of the malady are
reported. The symptoms are indica-
tive of a cerebal disturbance in the
first place the animals are dull and
drowsy the head is allowed to fall I'M
til it touches the ground, the respira
ton becomes quick and labOred, and
in the later stages, symptoms of alb
dominal pain are exhibited. Post-mor-
tenn examination reveals serious exu-
dation under the cerebral membranes,
an apoplectic state of the lungs, and en-
gorgement of the whole of the mu-
cous tissue. Effusion into the pleural
and peritoneal sacs is also found.
The liver and the kidneys are soft and
the mesentric vessels are charged with
blood there is, also, in most cases,
evidence of extensive parasitic invaS-
ion of the vascular and digestive sys-
TEN. II is stated, that, in order to
prevent the introduction of the disease
into Europe, no horses are allowed to
be exported without a special license.

RuskIn to Girls ON Dress.

John Ruskin thus addresses the girls
on the subject of dress: "Dress as
plainly as your parents will allow you,
but in bright colers if they become
you'll and in the best materials-that is
to say, in those which will wear the
longest. When you are really in want
of a new dress, buy it for make IT. in
the fashion, but never quit an OLD one
merely because it has become unfa3h-
ionable. And if the fashion be costly,
you must not follow it. You may
wear broad stripes, or narrow, bright
colors, or dark, short petticoats or long
lin mOdeTatiOnl, as the public wish
you but you must not buy yards OF
useless stuff to make knot or a lOunce
of, nor drag them behind you over
the ground, and your walking-dress
must never touch the ground at all. |
have lost most of the faith once had
in the common sense, and even in the
personal delicacy of the present race
of Z lglish women by seeing how they
will allow their dresses to sweep the
streets, if it is the fashion to be scav.
engers. Learn dressmaking yourself,
with pains and time, and use a part OF
every day in needle work, MAILING as
pretty dresses as you can for poor peo-
pie who have not the time or the
taste to make them nicely for them
selves. You are to show them IN your
own wearing what is most right and
graceful. and help them to choose what
will be the protest ana most beconl-
ing in their own station.

An Execution at Munich.

LIE Francois gives some interesting
details of the decapitation in the prison
of Munich of highawayman named
Glaersgen and one Ruff, who had kill

long chestnut hair. just before the
"Bell of the Poor Fishers" began to

tence to the first culprit, and after
breaking a black ring between his
fingers flung the pieces at the crimi-
nails feet, thus signifying that the cul.
prit's life should be violently broken.
at o'clock the police magistrate, the
public prosecutor, and the clerk of the
crown took their places among the le-
gal witnesses of the execution. At
1908 Glaersgen appeared, his eyes COW
cred with black bandage that fell in
front as far as the mouth. Ills shout
der and neck were bare, they were
horrible lean and pallid, and seemed
as if they were shrinking away from
their doom. The first execution was
speedily performed. NJ. de Munich's
assistant flung the victim forward be-
fore his struggles had ceased; the ex.
ecutioner lifted his finger, the axe fell.
and all vas over. Ruff, however, did
not die so easily. Though his arms
were bound, he threw himself back
violently, while his blOodless lips NOV
ed rapidly, though they could deliver
no sound. 1t was like one of those
Nightmares, with something imminent
staring him in the face, the dreamer
can neither move nor speak. "Hurry
up!'' cried the executioner. The as
sistants flung themselves upon the
criminal, and few seconds later came
the thud of the knife, which indicated
that all in this world was over for him.

dulge in them without seriously Snjur-
ing yourselves. You acquire idle and
wasteful habits, which will cling to
you with each succeeding year. You
may In after life shake them off, but
the probabilities are that the habits
thus formed in early life will remain
with you to your dying day. Be
warned, then, in time, and resolve
that as the hour spent in idleness is
gone forever, you will improve each
passing one and thereby fit yourself
