A Treacherous Eoyptian.

A soldier of the English army in Egypt
writes to his father the following person
al experiences: "IIast Sunday, August
II, after skirmish, wounded Arab

dlsmo1nted. He asked me, or made me
to understand he wanted water. I at
once went to the canal, took off my he'll
met and tiled it with water, and was re-
turning to him with supply, when I
saw hlm' sit up and deliberately fire at
me, the bullet wounded me in the hand
and passing through my horses right

meensed by this act of treachery, that /
rodeup to him and pierced him through. :"

hours after every ounce of the bear had
been eaten, certainly not less than a
thousand pounds, and bread, soup, fish,
tea. brandy and alcohol had gone the
same way until not trace of anything
eatable or drinkable was to be found in
the place.
The appetite of Siberian Yakout,
and in fact of almost any native of the
northern part of Siberia is something
wonderful. Had ever been told what
/ have seen of its manifestations [ am
afraid that [ should have laughed the
story teller to scorn as the great modern
liar. But doubt if any other people on
the face of the globe can stow away so
much food under the ribs at a single
sitting. I do not know exactly how many
attended the feast that / have been tell
ing about but there were not so many of
them but that each individual must GER
tainly have disposed OF from twenty to
twenty-five pounds of meat, in addition
to proportionate enormous supplies OF
the other articles of food and drink.
They cleared up everything SO thorough
ly that they even cracked the bones to
get at the marrow.
I have heard it said that for halfa-
dozen Yakouts to sit down and eat up
horse at single meal, everything ex-
cept his hoofs, bones and hide, is not an
unusual occurrence. AS much as know
of the tremendous capacity of the va
kout stomach, I am inclineds.to believe
that the horse must have been very
small and lean, or the Yakouts very big.
Still [ have seen two men sit down and
eat all of fifteen gallons of soup, meat
and tea with bread and dried fish to ac-
company. I should imagine that the

likely to prove very remunerative N

the inventor claims, will enable him to
secure any desired coioring in his pho
tographs. After being colored, the
plates are treated with bi-chromate of
potash, which renders them perfectly
lnsoluble and capable of being operated
with an ordinary telegraph press. The
great advantage possessed by them over
the old chromo-lithography process is
that the color photographs can be Sc
cured from them in complete condition
IN five printings, whereas a dozen or
twenty separate impressions are required
to produce chrome telegraph. Fidelity
in copying the original tints of color in
the object photographed is secured by
means OF prepared scale, in which
every possible combination Of the five
colors is clearly shown. By subdividing
these five into ffths, The inventor has
secured no less than 1000 tints, which
have been analysed and reproduced on
the scale, so that the operator of the
colorlng apparatus can readily discover
their component colors. It is claimed
that three months practice is sufficient
to impart proficiency in the process to
any student of color photography.
sACCHARINE DIABETES.
In paper by DIR. G. Felizet, read be-
fore the Academy of Sciences, says the
Journal d'Hygiene, the author claims to
have discovered remedy for disease
usually regarded as ncurable-sacchar-
inc diabetes. The author states that he
has succeeded in putting an end to
glvcosuria artifcially produced in ami
mails, and that the medicine that sup
presses that artificial glycosuria Will
likewise cure diabetes in few weeks or
months. There exists, says he, bond
of union between artificial glycosuria,
intermittent diabetes and confirmed dia-
betes, and that bond is irritation of the
rachidian bulb. 1t is not then, in mask
ing the disease by submission to the Sc
verities of regime exempt from bread,
feculents, sugar, etc., that we succeed
IN curing it, but by tapping the very
source of the production of sugar, that
is TO say, by suppressing the irritation
of the bulb. Bromide Of potassium, by
the elective action of ISOLATION that il
exerts on the functions of the bulb, sup
presses the effects of such irritation
with rapidity that is often surprising,
and, in large and repeated doses, cures
| the diabetes.

A South American Marvel.
(From a New York Letter.

The Brunswick Hotel has a mild ex-
cltement just now. The big bugs there
are gathered around little bug and ex-
claiming. The object Of interest is a
South American bean, little thicker
than the the average lima bean. but
somewhat smaller. It is opaque. hard.
and shiny. Taken between the thumb
and finger, it pulsates, perceptibly
throbs, like heart. Laid on a smooth
table it moves around, hops over on it's
side, and keeps up a constant wriggline.
Set on one end, it sometimes turns a
somersault and lands on the other end. It
Is never still half a minute at a time. So.
as reporter would say, "It is the Gym
nosure of all eyes," The owner has been
offered s., 600 for it, but refuses to sell.
Others have been sent for, for it is un-
derstood to grow {sometimes} on a pecu-
liar bean vine in the Columbian States.
There Is no orifice leading to the inside.
1t has been minutely examined by scien-
tific men, who think there is living in
sect beneath the polished shell that
doesn't need to breathe very much fresh
air

A Great Bore.
From the N. Y. Times

The recent opening of the st. Gothard
Railway through the Alps has moved
Consul Byers, of Zurich, to write a
sketch of the great tunnel. The pass of
that name is over the highest mountain
chain in Europe. The old post road,
commencedin 1920 Z, 00Ofeet above the sea
IN places, was 49, feet wide; it crossed
gorges, clung diziiily to steep threatened
mountain sides and was roofed over where
most threatenedby avalanches. When the
first railwaywas opened, in 1916, from Ba-
den to Zurich, it was proposed to ask con-
cessions to enable the company to attack
one Of thehigh passes, In 1853 a union, or
society, for the purpose was effected upon
the basis of al estimated cost of $37, 400
600. In December, 1871, the st. Goth
ard Railroad Company was organized,
Sc, 100000 stock and $13, 100000 of
bonds was issued, a contract was made
calling for completion in eight years,
with forfeit Of 81, 900 for each addition
al day and bonus of 81, 900 for each
day gained upon the contract time
Work began IN the summer of 1872, and
1t was soon discovered that the estimates
were wrong, and that S57, 800, 900 would
be needed to carry out the plan; crisis
followed, and the enterprise seems to
have been saved only by what had al
ready been invested IN it, leaving no way
out but to push ahead. The railway
proper extends 113 miles from Immen-
sec, IN Switzerland, so Chiasso, in Italy,
and more than one-fifth Of the whole line
is in tunnels Sc in number; many of
these are not straight, but actual spiraliy,
accomplishing heavy aseents in short dis
tances, and there are also many lofty wa.
ducts, bridges, and complicated galleries.
The total length of tunneling is %
miles. The main or great tunnel is 81
miles long, although others, exceeding
5000 feet, might be thought noticeable
elsewhere. The great tunnel is 26 feet
wide and 19 feet high. The modern Dor
ing machines we're worked by air com
pressed by large turbine wheels driven
by the rapid River Reuss. The air was
carried from the compressors outside tc
the borers within the tunnel in iron
pipes Of six inches diameter, and the es-
Gaping air served an indispensable
purpose IN ventilation; 100000 feet
Of compressed air were daily thus deliy.
cred and set free, pushing back and out
OF the tunnel the bad natural gases, with
those set free by the dynamite and
thrown off from animals and workmen.
Fifty drills were worked; the usual daily
advance was q feet, working from both
ends, and the whole excavation was
lined as fast as made with circular tube
OF masonry Ii by 80 inches thick. The
workmen were principally Italians, who
worked eight hours day, receiving go
centsto 81. 20per day, (mostly theformer, J
boarding themselves, and living chiefly
on meal porridge; yet most of them are
reported TO have saved and sent home to
their families part of this pittance.
The tunnel cost 80 Of their lives, and
wounds were inflicted upon 877. The
final actual cost of the tunnel and rail
way, exclusive to rolling stock, is now
reported at something over $40, 900, 900.

Girls in the Trades,

The employment of girls in the trades
makes slow progress In Great Britain. A
notable exception, however, is teIegrapny
IN which, since the government alb
sorptlon of the lines, the offices have
been thrown open to women. The post
office and telegraph services Jointly in
the large places are now principally
worked by women. who have proved
themselves fully competent. The print
er's trade is also being learned by more
and more girls every year, though the
trades union, under a narrow policy,
looks on them with disfavor. Hitherto
the elementary education of boys has
been SO much more thorough than that
accessible to girls that the latter have
had very little chance to get ahead. But
now the sexes are coming to greater
equality in this respect.

Beyond the purple bars;

No insect song, no breeze;
No ripple on the gloomy lake,

Great Jupiter his spear.

Black cliffs of Shadow lie;
The near oaks rear their antlered tops

A stiffness as of death;

And all her freight of souls.

PHOTOGRAPHS IN CoLoRs.

A Nuremberg inventor has just made
public new and interesting process of
printing photographs in colors. which
has been regarded in some quarters as
much superior to, and destined to super
sede, chromo-lithography. The inven-
tor secured some surprising results in
artistic photography in various public
experiments recently, and won common
dation from capable critics. His process
consists IN securing six gelatine copies
on glass of photograph negative.
These plates are next painted with a
combination Of five primary tints, in
Guiding gray and a brown. These
same tints, in different combination
are next applied to a second plate, and
SO on until there are six different com
binations on each plate, which series.

WINTER DIETETIOs.
In the way of dietetics the appetite is
good prompter. It will naturally call
for such food as tends TO promote bodily
warmth. But it is popular error that
cold is benefited by oYereating. It is
an old adage to ''stuff cold and starve
a fever" But this adage is not properly
understood. What is really meant by
it is that if you stuff cold you will
have to starve fever. Read the adage
according to this explanation and it is
correct. When the skin is closed up by
what is called cold, and ali the vital
machinery is more or less clogged by
efete matters which are denied their
usual avenues of escape, just rs little
food should be taken as possible until
this condition is overcome. Fruits, and
particularly tart fruits. ere best suited
to the sufferer Or. Foote'S Health
Monthly.
MILK DIET.
Ii anyone who wishes to grow heshy,
a pint of milk taken on retiring at night
will soon cover the scraRniest bones.
Although We see good many heshy per-
sons nowadays, there are many lean
and lank ones, who sigh for the fashion
able measure of plumpness, and who
would be vastly improved in health and
appearance could their figures be
rounded with good solid flesh. Nothing
is more coveted by thin woman than a
full figure, and nothing will raise the ire
and provoke the scandal of the 'sclip-
per-bullt as the consciousness OF
plumpness IN rival. In q case Of fever
and summer complaint milk is now given
with excellent results. The idea that
milk is feyerish is exploded, and now
the physicians great reliance in bring
ing through typhoid patients, or those
IN too low state to be nourished by
solid food. 1T is a mistake to gcrinlp
the milk pitcher. Take more milk and
buy less meat. Look to your milkman;

ers on the table each meal, and YOU will
have sound flesh and save doctors bills.
