Prince Of the comoros.

Another sable parsonage is now visit
ing Paris in the person of Prince Mard-
jane, of the Comoro Islands, which lie
off tho east coast of Africa near Mozanl,
bique. He is here in order, it is said, to
furnish the government with informa-
tion concerning his country, but this
would seem to be vague, semi-official
explanation Of his presence in Paris.
Whatever may be the object of the
princes coming he has neglected to pro-
vide himself with an interpreter through
whom he could make his business
known; and when he and his secretary
appeared at the ministry of marine not a
single official could understand u word
which either of the strangers uttered.
After a weary waste of atrocious
French on the one hand and of absurd
Arabic on the other all interpreter was
summoned hastily and some light was
at last thrown on the wishes and inten-
ton of the distinguished black. Prince
Mardjane has had a perilous voyage
from his native land, for he was ship
wrecked a few days after its shores re-
ceded from his view and, having been
picked up by an English vessel, he was
taken to the Cape.-Paris Letter.

When the young man fell into the river
his hair was coal black; that of the
corpse was pure white. Fright doubt

A Lawsuit Over SO.

Charles Eddy is dairyman, with a
farm which lies partly in Swansea and
partly in Rehoboth. In Swansea Mr.
Eddy has his residence and in Rehoboth
he built barn. The latter structure
was erected in 1888, and since then Re-
hoboth has been trying to tax him for
his cows. Said COWS are stabbed in Re-
hoboth, but they roam over into Swansea
to Craze and drink. Swansea also taxes
the COWS, and Swansea gets the money.
Up to date Mr.. Eddy has held that the
law provided that he must pay taxes on
personal property in the town where he
lives, without reference to the home of
his animals. The amount which Swan
sea gets on tho Eddy cows, and which
Rehoboth means to get if she has luck,
is exactly so, and tho latter village has
brought suit to recover that sum. Mr..
Eddy proposes to fight, and the case will
probably go to the supreme court.-Prov-
idence journal.

Killed by n Bicycle.

An inquest was held at Boughton,
near Faversham, concerning the death of
man, name unknown, aged about so
years. One morning cyclist, whose
identity has not been discovered, in de-
scending Beacon hill, knocked down the
deceased and fractured his skull. The
cyclist gave the man half crown and
proceeded, leaving no name OF address.
The deceased walked for three miles and
then died by the roadside. 1t was stated
that the cyclist descended the hill rapid
ly, ringing his bell, and that the deceas-
ed was in the center of the road, leaving
room for the cyclist to pass. The jury
returned a verdict of accidental death
and exonerated the rider of the bicycle
from blame. The coroner intilnated that
in cases where bicyclists lost control of
their machines, as they occasionally did
when descending with their feet up, he
should advise verdict of manslaughter.

American Newspaper Methods In Sweden.
We have an ultra cheap newspaper
here, the success of which is truly of the
American sort. say its success is
American because the paper has grown
up so quickly. Tie paper is called The
Stockholm Nyheter (News). 1t is thor
oughly radical politically, and advocates
necessarily the abrogation of the mon
archy and the state church.
1t was only three years ago that the
publisher got what was, according tothe
view of many, mad idea of printing i.
paper for the subscription price of one
9re or three crowns per year. 1t would
be impossible to get any lower. Alittle
over 5000 subscriptions came in on the
start. But without advertisements it
was printed at q loss. The "ads" did
not flow in like the subscriptions. Well,
the 9re system was again set in motion
in another direction. After the paper
had been going for three months it COM
menced to have widespread circulation
and moro comprehensive than any other
Stockholm daily.
At the beginning of the publication
there were about 100 newsboys; now
there are over $50 little fellows who reap
the farthings. The publisher receives
one nre from the newsboys, and they in
turn sell them for two ere, the cheapest
price ever paid for newspaper in this
country. The daily sale of this paper on
the streets and outside is about IS, 900
copies. The subscription list has grown to
10000, making the total 80, 900 and over.
Now the advertisement patronage has
also become profitable. Stockholm Cor.

Another Drug Abomination to he Avoided.
Exalgine is the name of a new drug
similar in composition to antipyrin and
antifebrin, which has lately been the OBJ
ject of much laudation for its energy as
a pain killer. Neuralgias of all kinds,
wherever located, are generally dispelled
by its use in about half an hour at the
outside. Frequently the pain does not
return, and the cure is permanent, but
sometimes there may be a relapse and
further doses are necessary. Exalgine,
however, has been engaging the atten-
ton of DIR. Bardet and DR.. Dujardin-
Beaumetz, two French physicians who
have been making an investigation into
the therapeutic qualities of this sub
stance. While they agree as to the ac-
tivity of the drug in destroying pain, the
doctors are equally unanimous in their
opinion as to the danger of its nse. The
new pain killer is powerful poison as
well as a sedative, and its action affects
the brain, giving rise to violent convul-
sions like those Of epilepsy. The moral
of tho findings of NM. Bardet and Du-
jardin- -Beaumetz is that it is better to
endure pain than to resort to the use of
SO dangerous drug to assuage it.-Jour-
nal Of Health.

birds and golden plover. Both are in ex-

stopping if the weather is favorable in
Nebraska and adjoining territories, fat
tening rapidly. and then comes to the far
north to nest and hatch
Boston goslings and ducklings are a

gosling is very large in frame, but little
meat is to be got off it at present. AL
