Now all Paris, and therefore all

The drift is nuptially to Rome, the

Of the chasm that lies between the

stands in supernal splendor "the

that she would fairly roll in wealth,
dwell in palaces, be courted by

sociated with the proudest names
Of the decendents Of the crusaders,
and finally became the mother-in-
law of Prince Colonna, whose no
bility dates back almost to the time
of Saladin. The family name is as

heir Of the Colonna family is, at 27
years Of age, to wed the daughter
of the poor doctor who fell by the

Vaccination Against Yellow Fever

The researches which have dur
ing the past two years been made
by DR.. Domingos Freire have now
reached new point of departure.
This investigator has prepared an
attenuated virus with which he pro-
poses to vaccinate individuals, with
a view to rendering them proof
against the occurrence of yellow
fever. The Emperor of Brazil,
having regard to the alleged innocu-
BUSINESS Of the prepared virus, has
authorized the practice of VAGINA
ton. DR.. Freire has accordingly
vaccinated five hundred individuals.
Three captains and all the crews of
English vessels have been yaccin-
ated with view of escaping the in
lection from yellow fever, which
prevails at Rio Janeiro. Thus far
none Of the vaccinated people have
been attacked by the disease, and
none of them suffered the least IN
convenience from the operation.
NJ. Bouley, who gave the facts to
the Academic de Medicine, while
implicitly believing the above mar
rated facts, does not yet implicitly
accept the views of DR.. Freire on
the Micrococcus xanthogenicus.

AVOidable Illnesses.

II men were to reflect upon the
amount of illness, not to mention
other evils, which they bring upon
themselves, a total which ever in
creases with their self-development
in civilization, they would sometimes
question the reality Of a progress
which includes so many errors.
Even if we leave out of sight the
known results of faulty practice,
there is still a large margin Of what
SEEM to be anomalous mishaps
which day by day are shown to
have had an acquired and ayoidable
beginning. It is always satisfac-
tory to get at the root of these I'M
accountable flaws, especially when
they nearly concern ones personal
health. Their removal is then
usually assured, and our former
discomfort or dread is covered with
the satisfaction of enlightenment
and of remedial success. Trade
work has at all times illustrated,
and does still continually illustrate,
the truth Of these remarks. Let us
grant all that is due to it's energy
and enterprise, and still the value
of it's productions is heavily dis
counted by errors which are not
only due to oversight or ignorance,
but often to neglect. In SO far
every one will admit the need of
correction. By way of example,
consider the case of staining and its
applications. We showed a short
time ago that some Of the aniline
dyes in the market, from whatever
reason, were found to possess pois-
onous properties and to be unfit for
dyeing articles of dress. Further
evidence has not been wanting to
confirm those observations. An
other aud older enemy of health,
arsenic, has never been extirpated,
but shows its front among us from
time to time. Gases of poisoning
by arsenical wall papers have been
reported quite recently. The symp-
toms described, it is true, did not
include the gravest possibilities, but
chronic and intermittent i'll health
was proved to depend upon the
presence of a highly colored paper
containing much arsenic. Mere
color, we would add, however, is no
test of quality in this respect. The
most innocent looking hues may be
arsenical, and, conversely, the same
tints may be had without any such
poisonous admixture. Undoubted-
" the only guarantee for safety is
to be found in the discontinuance of
this or other similarly hurtful sub
stances as dyes in dwelling houses.
While there is any doubt about the
matter, no custom in decoration can
be safer or better than that of dis
tempering walls and afterward oil
painting them with some plain col
or.-Lancet.

COOKING A GIRL.
The Horrible Feast Prepared
by a New Zealand
Chieftaim.

Earle, who wrote a very readable,
intelligent and but little known ac-
count of the Maoris very early in
the present century, speaks Of the
gentle manners and kindly ways of
a New Zealand chief, whom he af-
forwards discovered to be an invet-
crate cannibal. He relates that he
visited the place where was cooking
the body Of young slave girl that
his friend had killed for the pur-
pose. The head was severed from
the body, the four quarters, with
the principal bones removed, were
compressed and packed into small
oven in the ground and covered
with earth. TWAS a case of unjus-
tifable cannibaIism. No revenge
was gratifed by the deed, and no
excuse could be made that the body
was eaten to perfect their triumph.
Earle says that he learned that the
flesh takes many hours to cook, that
it is very tough if not thoroughly
cooked, but that it pulls In pieces
like bit Of plotting paper if well
done. He continues that the vic
tim was handsome, pleasant-look-
ing girl Of sixteen, and one that he
used frequently to see about the
pah. To quote his own words
"While listening to this frightful
detail we felt sick almost to fainting.
We left Atoi (the chief who had
killed the girD and again strolled
towards the spot where this disgust
ing feast was cooking. Not a ma
tive was now near it, a hot steam
kept occasionally bursting from the
smothered mass, and the same dog
that we had seen take the head Of
the girl now crept from beneath the
bushes and sneaked towards the
village to add to the gloominess Of
the whole large hawk rose heavily
from the very spot where the poor
victim had been cut to pieces. Ny
friend and / sat gazing in this
melancholy place; it was a lower
ing, gusty day, and the moaning Of
the wind through the bushes as it
swept round the hill on which we
were, seemed in unison with our
feelings.
Earle goes on to relate how he
and three other compatriots whom
he summoned from the beach for
the purpose, with the Englishman's
usual impairment interference and
intolerance of customs differing
from his own, determined to frus-
trate Atoi's intention. They to-
gether visited the hill where the
flesh was cooking, and, destroying
the oven, buried the remains in the
earth. They found the heart put
on one side for the special delecta-
ton Of their constant friend and
| companion, kQi. Earle was after
] ward good-huS Aoredly told by the
3ebief that tb6h interference had
| been of ~ avail, as they had
;fsead tbg grave where the flesh
ISsd buried and opened it
so6A. after he and his friends had
left, End finished cooking it and eat

How the Youth of the Empire are Pn-
pared for Army Service.

How the Youth of the Empire are Pm-
pared for Army Service.
The aristocratic youth of Russia com
mence their military career in gymnasia
(schools), where they receive liberal
education at the age of ten. Religion,
languages, history, mathematics, etc,
form part of the course, which. lasts for
seven years; but drill, fencing, gymnas-
tics, and swimming are subjects to
which considerable prominence is given,
and each school has a uniform in which
the scholars invariably appear. AT the
end of the course they are medically in
spected and only those who are phys
ically fit are permitted to be examined
for cadetships; those who are rejected
may be appointed to different offices
under Government. The corps d elite
are held out as inducements to those
who pass the highest standard of cX-
animation. There are eighteen or
twenty of these at present in the differ
ent portions of the empire. They feed
the eight cadet schools which provide
the higher class Of officers. OF these
the imperial corps of pages is the
most aristocratic, and supplies most
of the officers for the guard. The
remainder are at st. Petersburg, with
the exception of the Alexander school
at Moscow, and the Finland cadet corps
at Helsnfors, the latter being exclusively
for natives of the duchy of Finland.
The Machael artillery and Nicholas en-
gineer cadet schools furnish, as their
titles imply, the higher class of artillery
and engineer officers. The progymna-
Gia, of which there are eight, receive
boys OF any class, ten years of age, a
small percentage of whom join the
army direct as nOn-cOmmissiOncd OIL
GERS; the remainder supply the Junker
schools, after seven years course. The
Junker schools provide the body of oili-
GERS. The course lasts for two years,
and only those cadets who obtain a GER
tain figure of merit are appointed to
commissions The cadets, in addition
to theoretical instruction, have most
practical course of study in skctching
and outpost duty; they also go into
camp for four months in the year, and
take part in all drills and exercises.
Batteries, squadrons, aud battalions are
formed, all manned by cadets. These
schools are in the different military dis
tricts and under the staff of those dis
tricts, and the instructors are taken
from the best officers in the district
