that even with the aid of a cane he could
hardly stand on his feet. In vain we tried
10 ascertain the reasons for this surprising
epidemic Of inebriation. Nobody was sober
enough to explain to US what had happened.
From the excited and more or less in
coherent conversation of the intoxicated
travellers in the station-house, l learned
that even the village priest was so drunk
that he had TO he taken home in a sleigh by

drunk, there was evidently no prospect of
our being able TO get horses. In fact we
could not find anybody who seemed sober
enough to know the difference between a
horse and his harness. We therefore
brought our baggage into the crowded sta
tion-house, and sat down in an unoccupied
corner to study intoxicated humanity and
await further developments. Every person
IN the house was drunk, except ourselves
and one small baby.
About o'clock the noise, tumult, and
shouting in the village streets began to sub
side; the statiou-master, whose intoxication
had taken the form of severe official dig
nifty, suddenly appeared, and in a tone OF
stern menace wanted to know where the
post drivers were, and what all this disorder
meant. Finally, when We had

ended by fning him so kopecks whether

with thankful hearts. As the last faint

The Hottest Spot on Earth.
From the St. Louis Republic.


The hottest region on the earth is on the
southwestern coast of Persia where Persia
borders the gulf of the same name For
forty consecutive days in the months of
July and August, the thermometer has
been known not to fall lower than 100,
night or day, and to often run up as high as
1889 in the afternoon. AT Bahrin, in the
center of the torrid part of this torrid belt,
as though it were natures intention to make
the region as unbearable as possible, no
water can be obtained from digging wells
100, 200 or even 500 feet deep, yet a COM
paratively numerous population contrive to
live there, thanks to copious springs which
break forth from the bottom Of the gulf,
more than a mile from shore. The water
from these springs is obtained by divers,
who dive to the bottom and fill goat-skin
bags with the cooling liquid and sell it for @
living. The source OF these submarine
fountains is thought to be in the green hills
of Osman, some 500 or 600 miles away.

that might mean. 81 tile Tich's" legs
could stand great deal of pulling, but

Rumors About tho Pope's Heaith--Notes
From Rome.
ROME, Jan. 30.--The recent rumors
that the Pope has been having waking
fits are denied His Holiness continues
to hold his customary receptions. His
health is good and his spirits are cheered
by addresses coming from every country
in Europe expressing sympathy with him
under the encroachmcnts Of the Italian
Government.
Cardinal Gangtbauor, the archbishop
of Vienna, has sent an address from the
Austrian bishops, which Is published in
the OsserUdtote Romano, proclaiming the
right of the Pope to temporal power,
Italian papers are of the opinion that the
address would affect the present friendly
relations between Austria and Italy but
for the success of General Bouanger,
which brings war within view and makes
Vatican discord less hard in Quirinal
councils.
II was expected that the opening OF the
Chamber of Deputies would be signalized
by an open quarrel between the Minister
of the Treasury and the Ministers of War
and Marine with reference to the credits
demanded by the latter. These credits
will now be accorded on the ground Of
the enhanced gravity of the situation.

MADRID, Jan. So I'm the Chamber of

on the question raised by Senior Lastres
in relation to the negotiations with
America regarding the Mora claim. The

former declarations that the negotiations
had not been completed and that the Cor

Senor Lastres thereupon declared that
he was satisfied and withdrew his mo-
tion.
A duel is imminent between Senores
Bedoya and Robledo, members of the
Chamber of Deputies. The trouble
arose from personal dispute
