went into the kitchen TO get some warm
water. But the drug on his lip had a
strong antipathy TO the cleansing ele-
ment, and paid no attention TO it, The
more he scrubbed the more it determine q
TO stay, and the more his smelling organ
protested against it. His nose was of
modest dimensions, but the smell was
too big to crowd into an elephants trunk

4 Singular Attachment.

Last spring Mr.. William Sinclair, of
Cambray Ont, caught n young crow
before it could fly and brought it home,
and it soon became quite tame. IL
struck up warm friendship with n
young hound belonging 10 Mr.. Sinclair
The crow always was around with the
hound, shared his meals and slept i'm his
box at night on the bottom, not seeking
to perch unless they were disturbed
during the night, when he would come
out and fly up into one of the trees near
by and remain there until morning.
When given food IL would invariably
take II portion TO the hound. IL would
not give it TO him at once, but would fly
around just above his head with piece
of meat or crust of bread in his bill, and
keep teasing him for quite n while with
it, and then would finally let him have
IT, But last week instinct began TO be
too powerful and he concluded that he
must go TO other quarters for the winter,
and IL was amusing 10 see how he tried
10 coax the hound away with him. He
would fly away little piece and then
light and cav TO the dog then he would
fly back, and seemed in great distress
because he could not induce his four
footed friend 10 go 10 warmer quarters
for the winter; but, finding he would
not leave, he at length flew off and has
not been seen since.

British Railway Inconvenience.

The absurd practice of locking the
passengers fast in compartments on rail
way cars has minor inconvenience as
well as serious dangers. A part Of the
system consists of having no handles 20
the doors on the inside. A writer 10 the
EngLtsh Mechanic pleads earnestly for
inside handles, chiefly because if they
were provided the windows would not be
20 frequently opened as they have TO be
now, 70 reach the outside handles and.
consequently, there would be less chance
OF the cushions being wet by rain when
the windows are carelessly left open.
lie thinks that there would be little
danger that children might turn the in
side handles and fall out Of the cars.
and he hopes that ladies' dresses would
not be frequently caught in entering or
leaving. The American public has often
been reproached with too easy conces-
sion 70 inconvenience, but there would
be something near akin 20 n riot on a
railway train carrying human beings in
this country, II there were no inside
handles 10 the doors Of a single passen-
ger car. Our Improvements in cars are
constantly gaining wider recognition
One Of the latest is n method OF heating
n whole train through pipes from n stove
in the baggage car; the pipes being con
trivcd 80 as tO connect or discOnnect
without especial attention when the
cars are coupled or uncoupled while
o universal joint gives the requisite free
dom Of motion AZ the point where the
pipes unite. The danger from fire from
stoves in the cars may thus be reduced
70 a minimum. Perhaps the ingenious
inventor will divise an equally effective
mode Of warming street cars by pipes
under The seats.

Sea Air and Mountain Air.

The ssa air acts more rapidly, the
mountain air more slowly; the sea mir
gives a more vigorous appetite, compels
a larger amount Of food, stimulates the
digestion more powerfully, and increases
the bodily weight in n perceptible dc
gree in a short time, while mountain air
acts in all these respects as more subtle
stlmulant; sen air pre-supposes robust,
assimilative functions; mountain air
cxerts its gentle influence also on the
atomic and catarrhal conditions Of the
gastrointestinal canal. Sea air demands
a certain robust integrity Of other
functions, especially Of the heart and
lungs. Mountain air, on the other hand,
exerts its general beneficial influence
also on natures which suffer in this re-
spcct from weakness with increased
irritability. The sen air easily over
powers persons affected with irritable
weakness, while the mountain air has y
calming and indirectly strengthening
effect upon them. I'm general, the choice
between sea and mountain air is rcgu-
lated not by the name Of the sickness,
but By the individual character Of the
sick dividual.-Dr braun.

At eight o'clock on the morning of

physicians in consultation found that
his illness was already exhibiting grave
symptoms. During the night his breath
ing had become painful, his pulse was
greatly irregular, and the eruption at
tending what Is here called milia-
ric or inlamatory fever began to show
itself. At noon this fever had risen
10 its acme, and the doctors from that
moment looked on the case as hopeless.
Then 1t was it was that the administra-
ton OF the sacrament was recommended.
The ceremony was performed by the
Kings chaplain, Canon Amino, in the
presence Of Prince Humbert and Princess
Margaret Tho Portuguese Minister at
the request Of the Kings daughter.
Maria Pia, Queen Of Portugal, was in
attendance since the previous day, his
mission being 10 transmit bulletins Of

alleged presence was in consequence

moved from his bed and laid in an arm
chair; but at half-past one he was
again in bed. Toward half-past two the
oppression in the chest had greatly in
creased, and the doctors relieved il by
making the patient inhale some oxygen,
which temporarily revived his strength.
The King turned then 10 the bystanders
and nodded his head three times by way
of recognition and salutation He made
an effort 20 throw himself back upon his
pillow, made with the hand a move
