is said to be an unprecedented occurrence In
that locality.

Mrs. Hilton, wife Of Judge Hilton, has for
about three years past suffered from the loss
of her voice, SO that she has not been able
to speak above q whisper. Recently, after
taking some ether to relieve q pain from
which she was suffering, her voice suddenly
returned and she was able once more to
speak in her usual tones.
A letter from Danv1lle, Va, records that
several days ago Mr.. r. L. Hickson, promi-
nept merchant, was bitten by black spider,
ard that he has since suffered great pain
and been extremely i'll, although a poyslclan
was called in Immediately. punt ana
half of whisky was given nlm Is soOD as the
nbvsician arrived. No into xlcstion followed,
but the pain was for time relieved
President Taylor, of the Mormon Church,
referring to the question of polyga nous
sermons, in the course Of a recent sermon
10 Salt Lake City, said: "Could you or I
preach the doctrine of plurality If it was q
lie? You know that only honorable,
honest, virluOus men and women, WHO
could be vouched for by those who preside
over them, are admitted to practice this
ordinance; you all know this"
The Duke Of Hamilton has declined Lord
Rosebery's offer Of S.. 600 for the Island
NJ Arran, on which Hamilton Palace is sit
rated. The island is near the mouth of the
CLYDE. II is about twenty miles long by
eiSbt to eleven broad, and contains super
fetal ares Of 165 squsre miles, or lO5 Sl4
ceres. of which about Is, 900 are cultivated:
I Is A rugged, mountainous island, and not
of much account to anybody bur lord or
some rich person who wishes to be known
as landlord.
A letter writer at Alexandria, a woman,
gives a highly romantic explanation Of the
Egyptian question. Her story is that Arab,
early in his career, fell madly IN love with
40 Egyptian girl, the daughter OF fellah;
but the unscrupulous lsmail. then hnedlve,
also took fancy to the girl, and had her
carried off to his harem without even saving
Hbv Your ieaven He tried to pacify the
luckless Arab by making him Bey; but
Arabi never forgave the irjurY, and from
that moment vowed dire vengeance upon
Ismail and all his family.
"When Teauyson first went TO live at
Freshwater, Isle of Wight, l have heard
that the aristocracy OF that small island
would rot call upon Mrs. Tenny son or upon
him. He was only a poet, and a dngy
bearded, fOrbidding looking animal; and
probably did not take sitting at church.
When the Queen came TO Osborne the first
thing she did was to call at the Tennysons,
snd go in and sit half an hour This fl-w
over the island, and Immediately ut showed
IN his house of visiting cards, which, TIL
NOR saith, he straightway and punctiliOusly
returned 10 all the senders.n
The whole number of punishments in
flcted on Ruglish soldiers for drunkenness
during the past year was 1866 These
penalties were adiudged by courts martial
and bv commanding officers. The number
OF men represented in the list OF punish
mpn.s was % 255. This statement shows
an Improvement over the average for the
past ten wears, but the offenses exceeded
those of the previous year. The home es
tabllshment is composed OF 1913 2lO men OF
all ranks. Excluding commissioned and
non. commissiope ed officers, 100 COO men are
left, so that nearly Is per cent. of the men
were guilty Of drunkenness.
By elancing over the local columns of our
exchanges we are pleased to learn that
about all the horses ridden by the Brigadier
and Msior Generals during the war are alive
and "ouite old" We were fully prepared
for the fact OF their being alive, having seen
all these horses at various pac during the
past wear with our own eyes, but we are
surprised to learn that they are "quite old"
However, that fact removes a cloui OF
mystery from our mind and confirms US IN
our deep suspicion that the fve-Year-old
colt thew showed US at Amsterdam was not,
as they declared, the horse that General
Thomas rode in the battles OF the Wilder
Huntington Haacbege.
Another plant possessing anti-malarial
properties, as alleged is receiving public
attention. This is the "jussieua grandi-
fora" or f0ating plant of the bayous and
lower lakes of Louisiana, wnien mas been
long observed TO prevent the development
of malaria in regions peculiarly adapted to
its generation. The claim is put forth Tor
Il that it purifies all stagnant water in which
It grows, that the lakes and bsyous inhab
tied by it are singUlarlY pure TO the sight,
taste and smell and that to its presence,
and its undoubted hygienic or healtb-pTe-
serving qualities Is to be attributed the re-
markable exemption OF the people Of over
Louisiana from malarious or miasmatic dis
eases. 1t is also stated that in the region
thus reputedly preserved from such diseases
there are more stagnant waters and swamps
than In any other part OF the country.
The first appearance in the House OF Com
mons of the new Lord Mayor of Dublin
attracted much attention, The splendid
robes of office almost concealed the fQnc-
tionary. He is said to have walked slowly
and msiestically to his place, and, as he
presented a petition from the Corporation
of Dublin the gorgeously sppareled official
was greeted with tremendous cheers. The
members rushed from the Hobbies as the
Mayor began to read at the wrong place, and
the Speaker soon told him to read the prayer
of the petition. Opening a sheet described
as larger than himself, the Mayor read the
preamble Then there were shouts all over
the house, "Prayer prayer" and great
confusion. When he sat down his cloak
vas thrown back so as 70 display his CHAINS
of Office, court COS pmes and sword. Inc
knee brooches and SILK stockings set on his
Hdapper little legs,n and altogether 1t was
great day for Dublin and for the House.
The stagnation of the French population
is naturally source Of satisfaction to the
Germans. A bloody campaign would, they
maintain, quickly exhaust the stock of
French soldiers available, and, ct best,
cause them to fall back upon mere boys.
This is the real source OF danger to France,
from her population increasing so very
slowly, and, 10 fact, to the bloody cam.
paigns between 1870 and 1915, taken with
the half starved plight of the D easantry dur
ing no uncomfortable portion Gf that period,
NAV be chiefly sscribed the deficiency to-
dav. Another cause is the habit of putting
babies out to nurse, which has been shown
I'm the Eaost conclusive manner to resultin
an enormous mortality. IN the meantime,
the Germans have plenty of men, even after
sending hundreds Of thousands here and
elsewhere, while the French emigration
amounts to nothing. Even when French
man does summon up c1ursge to come here
Il is only to return home as soon as he can.
Homer, EeysdG, was recently startled by
a terrific roar and jar like an earthquake,
which sent people flying out Of their houses
In all directions. A glance up the side of
Mount Olsen revealed the cause Of the phe-
nOmenon. One of the sharp peaks OF foliated
granite near the summit, loosened by the
late rains, had toppled over and was rush
ing down the ravine toward the centre of
che town with appalling force, crushing and
grinding everything in its pathway. For
few moments it looked as though several
