CNAMBORD'S WEAKNESS.

The death of the Count de cham
bord has for some time been expected,
and his tenacity of life has been rather
extraordinary. 1t had long been
known that the Count de Chambord'
disease-infammation of the stom-
ach-was necessarily fatal, but by
careful nursing under the direction
of skillful physicians his dissolution
was not Immediately apprehended.
He was, however, a man of Gun
bounded stomach" and could not
brook the simple diet to which he
was professionally confined. He had
been accustomed to high and luNuri-
Gus living, as his corporosity in part
attested. TO be allotted, as his daily
hood, but a cup of milk every three
hours, with the substitution of half a
glass of wine and some jelly at his
afternoon repast, was not to his taste,
although the regimen was enjoined
upon him with warning that de.
parture from it would inevitably re.
suit in his speedy dissolution. The
bulletins issued, from time to time
from his bedside, were in degree
reassuring, although never entirely
encouraging as to his ultimate re-
covery. With some confidence in the
favorable condition of his patient,
DR.. Vulpian ventured to leave
Frohsdorf, one day recently, on a
brief visit to Paris. No sooner had
he taken his departure than the
Royal Pretender demanded of his
obsequious attendants delicasies that
had been forbidden him. They were
furnished, and his dyspeptic symp-
toms increased in alarming intensity.
AS the irritation grew, attacks of
vomiting set in, and repeatedly re-
doubled in violence; and still, in
interims his injudicious attendants
piled him, at his request, with dainty
morsels and requested tid-bits. He
had been professionally assured that
he was not affected with cancer, or
tumor, and therefore his confidence
in his corpulent, physical constitution
was fortified. No operation was per-
formed OH him, and although very
sick, he looked upon himself as a
comparatively well man; as indeed,
also, did his medical advisers. But
he would eat Of forbidden food. His
Unsuitable stomach demanded and
was supplied. When his chief doctor
returned to him, the fatal result of
his inordinate appetite was foreseen.
He has fingered along since, the
subject of numerous conflicting
kilograms, until now the final one is
dispatched. His death was FASTENED,
if not actually caused, by craving
appetite. IS. n. Paper. oa''

THE ARCTIC OCEAN.

2" The whaler Thomas Pope, arrived
Wednesday from the Arctic, reports
as follows: Sailed from San

regions thirty day from hence. The
ocean was full of ice and the
weather unusually cold. The

both whales and walrus being very
scarce. The bark John Rowland

CHEAP MEALS IN new YORK.

Two cheap eating houses in Chat
ham ST., below Duane, are said to
furnish food to over 1900 persons
each per day. During certain hours
the places are SO crowded that per-
sons have to take their turns in order
to obtain seats. The prices are, 8
cents for roast mutton OF beef,
mutton chop or beefsteak 5 cents
for a bowl of coffee or tea, including
a loaf of bread; 5 cents for pork
chops or fried fish; 5 cents for hash.
Each place sells a Darrell of hash
daily. Large buildings or dumplings
or pieces of pie are sold at 5 cents
each. A large company of walters is
constantly employed. 1t is amusing
to hear some of them sing out their
orders. The rushing, hustle, rattle
and confusion bewilder stranger.
Three cash girls are always on duty
behind the desk in either place. The
restaurants are known as the jim
Fisk and the Boss Tweed.

ARluI TOM IHIlMR.

"Ncvcr was a dwarf more run
after than Tom Thumb, who has
just died. When he came over to
England in 1914, the large room in
the Egyptian Hall, where he was ex-
hibitcd, was daily so crowded that
it was almost impossible to approach
the table on which he stood. With
ladies he was so popular that many
of tlrem took season tickets. For
some reason best known to them,
their idea of bliss was to be kissed
by him, aud as he walked about they
used softly to say, kiss me, Tom

was in America. came into a hotel,

graduate the barkeeper upon the
precocious tastes of his infant son
when he introduced me to Mr.. STRAIT
ton, who at once commenced q
political discussion. Later on, when
Tom came over to England, having
married tiny sister Of Commodore
Mutt, invited the happy pair to
dinner. Tom was very dignitied,
and Mrs. Stratton was remarkably
agreeably lady. She had then a
baby and it was funny to hear her
talk of this child i'll a superb
matronly fashion. Their only troub-
lie about their diminutive size was,
they said, that they had to dress as
children when they went out walk
inc to escape observation.

YELLOW FEVER GERMS.

One of the horrible discoveries of
modern science is surely that of DR..
Domingo Freire of Rio Janeiro. That
city has been seriously afflicted with
yellow fever, and DR.. Freire in his
inquiries into the causes of the cpl
demic came upon the dreadful fact
the soil of the cemeteries in which
the victims of the outbreak were
buried was positively alive with
microbian organisms exactly identic-
al with those found in the vomitings
and blood of those who had died in
the hospitals of yellow fever. From
foot underground he gathered a
sample of the earth everything the re-
mains of a person who had been
buried about year before, and
though it showed nothing remarkable
in appearance OF smell, it was found
under the microscope to be thickly
charged with those abominable disease
germs. Many of the organisms were
making spontaneous movements. In
fact, therefore, the cemeteries are so
many nurseries of yellow fever, for
every year the rain washes the soil
and the fever seed with which it is
so closely sown into the water-courses
and distributes them liver the town
and neighborhood. Says the Doctor;
''If each corpse is the bearer of
millions of organism, that are spe-
cities of ill, imagine what cemetery
must be in which new foci are form
ing around each body. In the silence
of death these worlds of organisms,
invisible to the unassisted eye, are
laboring necessarily and unperceived
to fill more graves with more bodies
destined for their food and for the
fatal perpetuation of their species"
How terribly fatal these organisms
are, indeed, may be understood from
the fact that the blood of a yellow
fever patient injected into rabbit
killed the animal in an hour, that the
rabbits blood injected into guinea
pig killed it and that the guinea pigs
blood injected into another rabbit
killed it also; so that the chain of
destruction may apparently be end
less, for each victim, on post mortem
examination, was found to have all
its blood swarming with malignant
germs. "Surely," says the st. James
Gazette, "the cremation of all vel
low fever corpses becomes, in the
light of DR.. Freire's discovery, a
public necessity" -Neao York Her.

EVILS OF THE KINGLY SYSTEM.

Royalty is a heavy drain upon the
resources of any country burdened
with it. The sovereign must be sur
rounded by q court, drawn from
privileged class. The throne must be
sustained by armed men, who, in
modern times, form permanent
military organization. Hence stand
ing army is as necessary as court
in countries where the royal and
imperial system prevails. Class dis
tinctions, precedence and land
monopoly by the privileged order
are inseparable from the kingly form
of government. But inasmuch as the
sovereign and his civil and military
establishments are maintained by
taxation, it follows that the common
people bear the lions share of the
charges. The privileged order does
all the legislation, administers the
laws, controls the government, and
takes very good care to protect it's
own interests. Thus it happens that
poverty and crime are perpetuated.
Abolish royalty and general dis
armament of the nations will be
possible but while royalty is tolera-
ted, poverty, prescription, violence
and crime will prevail. Am. Paper.

SHEARING.

On station out westward there is
a small son of the soil, whose great
est delight is to be with the shearers
in the shed. With a miniature pair
of shears he practises effectively on
the Angora rug, and fur or feathers
are alike the spells of his weapon.
One Summer day his mother saw him
gazing intently at the sky, across
which fleecy white clouds were sailing
lazily. AT last he said, Smother,
they're shearing in Heaven now
and they're washed sheep, too"
He was about as apt as the little girl
who described the stars "as gimblet
holes to let the glory through !"-

AWFUL RAILWAY DISASTER.

AWFUL HALLWAY ulSAS lEK.
An appalling railway disaster oc-
cured at Steglitz, in German Steglitz
is favorite place of resort of Ber-
liners, and lies on the Potsdam and
Magdeburg railway, three miles to
the southwest. The accident, which
may be called q massacre, stands
probably unique in the annals of
railway disasters. September 2nd
being both Sunday and the Sedan
anniversary, the place was crowded
with eXcursionists to the Schuetzen-
fest and other festivities in honour
of the day. BY 10 O'Clock at night
crowd of about 500 persons filed
platform of the railway station wait
ing for the return train. When the
latter arrived, after some delay on
the up line, the barsiers still re-
NAMED closed to await the passing
of the Cologne night express, which
leaves Berlin at $50 PIN. Suddenly,
however, the pressure of the inn
patient crowd forced the barriers
aside, and despite the efforts of the
railway officials, hundreds rushed
across the down line to enter the
cars At that very moment the ex-
press came tearing along, and
although the driver, on seeing the
danger signals displayed at the last
moment, applied the brakes, the
train dashed right through the mass
of people covering the line, and
annihilated everything in it's way.
One terrible cry of anguish arose
even above the thunder of the train,
and all was over. The details of
this terrible scene, lasting only few
seconds, as narrated by eye-wit-
nesses, are almost too narrowing for
repetition. Forty persons, of whom
IL were men, Is women, and five
children, were instantly killed; and
about 25 wounded. All the victims
belong to the. artisan and labouring
classes. For distance of 100 yards
the line was covered with bodies, all
shockingly mutilated, and human
fragments. Of one family of five
persons only one boy escaped. The
killed incluke four married couples,
five members of the Shooters COM
pany, with the flagbearer and three
artillery corporals. One of the
latter had both legs and his heavy
sabre cut through as with a knife
One girl had nearly reached the local
train when the draught cause by the
express threw her under the loco
motive. One woman had both legs
cut off, and on being carried into
the waiting-room gave birth to a
dead chilled. and expired. Another
woman and a sailor in the Imperial
navy were completely decapitated,
