The London Times Constantinople
correspondent says: "The immediate
effect of the Anglo-Turkish convention,
writes an intelligent Arab to me, will
be, to make Cyprus the most prosperous
island in the world. Many Turks, he
adds, in explanation have made up their
minds, and are making preparations to
leave Constantinople and to settle in
the new English island, under that
goVernme nt which alone, as they think,
understands justice There is already
scheme for setting up a newspaper in
the Turkish language in Cyprus.
Shoals of. people will go over from the
coasts of Syria, flying from the capaci-
ty and tyranny of Ottoman governors,
for no one doubts that England will
vouchsafe to the island that same free
dom of the press which is established
in the British colonies, unless, indeed,
England were out of complacence to
the porte, to alter her system and ab-
Jure her principles.

an OLD FRENCH BALLADE OF
I,RUISlIS

Gold Or silver, every day
Dies to gray.
There are hanks in every Skeln,
Hours of work and hours of play
Fade away
Into one in menSe lnane.
Shadow and substance, chaff and grain
Are us vain
As the foam and as the spray.
Life goes grooming, faint and fain,
One refrain:
If it could be always May!H
Tho the earth be green and gay,
Tho they say
Man is godlike in the main,
Though his little world to sway
He display
Powers superb of heart and brain,
Autumn brings a wind and rain
That conStrain
Him and his to know decay,
Where undimmed the lights that wane
Would remain
If it could be always May.
Yea alas must turn to Nay,
Flesh to clay,
Every chainlet to a chain. .
Men may scoff and men may pray
But they pay
Every pleasure with pain.
Life may scar and Fate may deign
To explain
Where her prizes hide and stay,
But we lack the lusty tain
We should gain
If it could be always May.
ENVOI.

Might retain,
But his charge would De aStray,
Mitchering glad in every lane
Jack with janet

Pay of Railroad Employees in Europe.

Consular reports recently sent to the
state department at Washington en-
brace statements in regard to the COM
pensation Of railway employees in vari-
Gus portions of Europe, from which we
learn that the yearly compensation in
France is as follows: Engineers, $4O5
to $579; fremen, $3O0: Watchunen, 1921
chief of baggage, $3.50; baggage men,
1921; porters and servants, 1913; chief
of freight, 1888 to $1,15S; clerks, 1921;
ticket agents, men or women, $3.50 to
1857; workmen, $173. The consul re
marks that the cost of living is less in
France than in America, and the living
poorer. The work on railways is more
subdivided, and quite different from
that of the United States railways il
other, respects. 80 a.nsa.t =.
+, The consular report from Chemnitz
Saxony, states that the salaries of rail
road employees are small; the surerin-
tendent's. salary is the highest, 81, 531
feWsemployes receive over $1,000 pea
annum. Section hands are paid $144. Is
to $174.50 per year. A certain sum is
allowed to ali employees for clothing and
some are furnished with houses and
servants. Ticket agents receive 1 per
cent. commission on tho tickets they
sell. The engineer and fremen are
allowed for any savings they make in

Chief characteristics Of Yellow Fever.

Concerning the yellow fever that is
now on it's way north, New Orleans
correspondent gives the following as
some of it's chief characteristics:
About the fourth or fifth day the eyes
turn yellow. The skin also assumes a
yellowness like that of bruise, or
bright jaundice yellow. However, the
patient does not turn yellow in more
than one case in six. AS to the causes
of the scourge, the old atmospheric the
DRY has gone by the board, and the best
writers now seem to have settled down
to the belief that the poison is Of ami
malcular origin-these animalcules
generating and spreading over surfaces
like grasshOppers Or caterpillers, and be-
ing introduced into the human blood
If they exist, the most powerful micro
scope has hitherto been unable to dis
cover them. One fact that seems to
point to their existence is that the same
extremes Of heat and cold that kill 9th
er insects also kills yellow fever, whose
contagion cannot exist and becomes in
nocuous at 500 and 212o. Yellow fever
is always killed out after good freeze.
Yellow fever never spreads above 600
feet above the sea level. Acclimatza.
ton does not prevent, and no person has
a second attack. The period ofincuba-
ton is generally nine to four days,
though persons have been known to
carry it in their system twenty-three
days and then take it. Without treat
ment, seventy-fve out of every hundred
will die. With treatment and good
nursing, however, about one in three is
the average mortality. In the great ep-
idemic of 1867, in some Texas towns,
one-half died who took the fever. AS to
the cure, no remedy hasyet been found,
and all treatment so far, even by the
best physicians, is as empirical as the
causes Of yellow fever are unknown be-
yond conjecture.

It Seems Impossible

That a remedy made Of such common,
simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mand-
rade, Dandelion, &C., should make so
many and such marvellous and wonder
full cures as Hop Bitters do, but when
old and young, rich and poor, pastor
and doctor, lawyer and editor all tes-
tify to having been cured by them, you
must believe and try them yourself,
and doubt no longer. See other col
THE fiery, untamed bicycle which in
tests England to such an extent latterly
seems destined to run into the meshes
of the law whichever, way it turns.
When one Of them suffered from col
lision with a team and the owner
brought suit for damages, and urged
that the team was on the wrong side
and wouldn't turn, it was decided that
the bicyclist was only foot passenger
and his machine was not a vehicle, and
hence the law did not apply. Since
then another bicycle has been brought
into court for running over people in
the street, and when it was urged in its
defense that it was not a vehicle and
the rider was only a foot passenger, SO
that the law did not apply, it was decid-
ed that it was a vehicle and could
run over people with impunity. a0
