Iepars In London.

The chief sensation of the week in
London has been over what has come
to becalled the Prince of Wales leper.
BY some curious freak London took
exceptional interest in the circum-
stances surrounding Father Da-
mien's death-I say curious, be-
cause during his life the efforts OF
Cardinal Manning and others 20 raise
funds to forward his work here were
dead failures; but after his death the
photographer who owned a negative
of the devoted priest coined money
and the agitation began for moment.
The prince took charge of the matter
and then the doctors who have views
on leprosy joined it, and by the time
the meeting was held q full grown
project for founding leper hospital

The simple and obvious device Of
packing fish in Ice for transportation
in hot weather was first used In Amer.
lea in the forties. From this country
1t spread to Europe and is now In gen
eral use in all civilized lands. The
practice has been common In Chino
from early times. Ip book published
ip Nuremb berg In 1880, Erasmus Fran
ciscus refers TO the Chinese custom
and recommends its adoption IN Eu-

and 1t was left for smart Yankee to
rediscover the simple expedient nearly
two centuries later.-Deutscho Els

FoundlIngs I'm Russia.

According to official statements ro-
lating to the Russian founaling hos.
pitals at St. Petersburg and Moscow
about 1000, 900 newly born children
havo been given over to them during
tho last hundred years, most of them
illegitimate. OF this large number
nearly s00,O 900 have died In tho first
months or first year Of their existence
Tho well known authority on stats
tics, Alexander Won Oettingen, who
IN his Moral Statistics" has treated OF
the state Of things in these Russian
hospitals, satirically calls it "Chronis.

('ohronio infanticide at tho cost OF the

Russian government intends to carry
put radical reorganization of both
hospitals. Probably, says our st. Pc

An Ancient Docur4ent.

A most valuable and interesting doc
ument of antiquity has been obtained
for the Louvre museum. 1t is the
speech against Athenogenes delivered
by Hypcrides, the friend Of Demos
themes, and the defender of the motor
ious courtesan Phryne, who was ac-
cused of impiety, but was saved by the
orator, who pulled off her peplum and
displayed her charms to the eyes of the
astonished judges. The incident has
been depicted on canvas by Gerome.
The history of Hyperides and his
speech, as set forth by NJ Revillout in
his report to the Academy of Inscrip-
tions, is curious enough. Athenogenes
had a perfumery shop which was man
aged by man of straw, or rather a
slave, called Midas, to whom a client
of Hyperides had left money. Being
unable to recover the sum the client
resolved to buy the shop, and the
negotiations were carried on by lady
friend of Athenogenes, to wit, Anti
gone, red haired and black eyed
Athenian damsel
All this traffic led to legal squabbles
between these extremely interesting
Greeks, and gave Hyperides an oppor-
tunity of descanting on bargains af-
fected by women, who were treated as
badly by Solon as Napoleon afterward
treated them In his ungallant code.
The pleading of Hyperides has
a wonderfully modern tone about
it, and-but for the names, dates
and places-might have been de
livered in the royal courts OF
justice in the Strand or at the Paris
tribunal of commerce The speech is
mentioned by Longinus, who also re.
fers to that in defense of Phryne, but
it has only recently been found on
papyrus by NJ. Revillout, an assistant
keeper of the Louvre museum.-Lon-
don Telegram.

A sUTTERFLpS SOUL.

Through tho field where the brpwn qua,ls whistle
Over the ferns where the rabbits lie,
Floats the tremulous down Of thistle;
Is 1t the soul Of a butterfly
Seel how they scatter and then assemble
Filling the cir while the blossoms fade,
Delicate atoms that whirl and trcnble
In the slanting sunlight that skirts the glade
There goes the summers inconstant lover,
Drifting and Wandering, faint and fari
Only bewailed by the upland plover
Watched by only the twilight star.
Come next August, when thistles blossom.
SEQ how each is alive with wingsl
Butterflies seek their souls In its bqsom,
Changed henceforth 10 immortal things

Royal correspondence,

Since American children are all
kings and queens, it is only natural to
suppose that they will be interested
in the correspondence between the
Princess Wilhelmina, who is likely
soon to be queen of the Netherlands
notwithstanding the surprising recov-
cry Of her father, the king, from what
was expected to be permanent insanity
and the infant king of Spain.
The princess, who is In her 9th year.
has always been delighted to hear all
that her mother, Queen Emma, could
tell her about the baby king of Spain.
A day or two before her last birthday,
entirely of her own accord, she sat
down and wrote her cousin-al kings
anl queens are cousins-a letter, in
Which, after giving him list of her
principal treasures, including her ia
vorite big doll Pauline and her pet
pony, she went on to tell him that
some day she should be a queen,
though she did not want to be one,
one bit.
She added that she supposed little
kings liked toys as well as other little
boys, and If her mamma would allow
her, she would send him the biggest
Noah's ark she had ever seen-which
had In 1t every animal in the Zoologi-
cal Garden at Rotterdam. and others
besides.
Both the letter and the Noahs ark
were sent to Madrid, and in due time
the Princess Wilhelmina received
from the king of Spain a charming
little answer, written, of course, by
his devoted mother Youths Com
panion.

THE HONORED PALM TREE.
But my text takes n further step and
it says, 'Go into the mountain, and
fetch olive branches, and pine branches,
and palm branches" Now, the palm
tree was very much honored by the
ancients. 1t had three hundred and
sixty different uses. The fruit was
conserved; the sap was beverage; the
stems were ground up for food for
camels; the base of the leaves was
turned into hats, and mats, and bas-
kets and the leaves were carried in vic
torious professions; and from the root
to the top Of the highest leaf there was
usefulness. The tree grew eighty-five
feet in height sometimes, and it spread
broad leaves four and five yards long;
il meant usefulness, and it meant vic
tory; usefulness for what it produced,
victory because it was brought into
celebrations of triumph. And oh, how
much we want the palm branches in
the churches Of Jesus Christ at this
timel \ great many Christians don't
amount to anything. You have to
shove them out Of the way when the
Lords chariots come along We don't
want any more of that kind of Chris
tians in the church.
The old maxim says: 'Do not put
all your eggs into one basket" but ]
have TO tell you in this matter of re-
ligion YOU had better give your all to
God, and then get in yourself. "Oh, '
| saws some one, my business is TO sell
silks and cloths Well, then, my

glory of God. And some one says;

some one says, My business is tc

Testing. Ialae1.anh PnIas

A young man with a ginlet two
feet long stopped in front of tele-
graph pole in an uptown street the

Another young man, a reporter on
The Sun, stopped also and asked the
first what lie was about. Il am going
to find out how long this stick will

rapidly. Il am employed by the COM
pany that owns the pole, and it Is my
business to go about the streets making
inspections like this. Every pole IS

Fourth street, that looks perfectly

a Repeating Rifle Invented In 1922.
A Kingston man, while looking
through a file of newspapers published
in Kingston in 1922, found descrip-
ton of new invention n repeat
ing firearm. The gun was manufact-
ured in New York cily and was
invented by man named Isaiah
Jennings. The description reads as
follows: 1T Is a single barrel and
lock stocked in the usual style, and is
perfectly simple, safe and convenient.
The number of charges may be ex-
| tended TO fifteen, or even twenty, each
charge being under as complete con-
troll as a single charge in an ordinary
gun, and may be fired in tho space Of
two seconds TO a charge or at longer
intervals, at the option Of the pos
SCISSOR, with the same accuracy and
force as any other gun. The princi-
pal can be applied to any muslSet, rife,
fowling piece or pistol, and can be-
made to fire from two to twelve times
without adding anything to the in
cumbrance of the piece, except five or
six ounces TO its weight Kingston

The Velocity of Elevators.
The velocity OF the passenger eleva-
tors in the tall buildings of the city is
something to be maryeled at in mod
ern devices and improvements. The
average speed Of passenger elevators
is 225 feet per minute, which includes
the ordinary stops The elevators in
the big Equitable building at Sixth
and Locust streets have a run of 130
feet from the basement or ground floor
to the top of the building The run is
made in twenty seconds; with usual
stops, one minute. In day of nine
hours any one of these elevators runs
over ten miles, which does not in
clude the time allowed by the starter.
In several building here lately some
elevators have developed a speed oi
800 feet a minute.-St. Louis Globe

change the products of his labor, for
the products OF other peoples labor,

of distribution established by Law and

Of money, the control Of which is
farmed out to a privileged class, and

very adverse circumstances. and now
that the election is almost absolutely
