that every one felt like expressing their

pretty speeches did the ladies' signify
their appreciation of his efforts.
Surrounded by bevy OF Iris fair
guests, the face of the young man was
the picture of delight, when another
young lady joined the circle and offered
thanks where thanks were due Her
manner of expressing herself, however
caused the light to die out of the yoans

that the young man had offered his hand

The Duke of Orleans. Who Thinks He

The king of France, so the old ballad

And so Prince Louis Philippe Robert,
due d Orleans, who thinks lie has right
to be king of France, celebrated his
twenty-iirst birthday by marching into
Paris and Offering to serve as private
soldier as other Frenchmen of that age
are required to do. But there is law
forbidding any member of any family
which claims the throne to re-enter
France; and so the duke soon found
himself in The Conciergerie prison, and
now the government gives out that he
will be sentenced for tine, after which
President Carnot may pardon him if he
sees fit.
The duke is the son of that Comte de

4 People Hii0 shiver for Six Months and

A People RiiO Shiver for Six Months and
Perspire During the Reas of tf,s Year.
Fashion rules the world over Every
people has customs of its own, many of
them strange enough to outsiders. Mr..
Curtis, in his Capitals of Spanish Amer
ra," comments upon one of the curious
Aotions prevalent in Santiago, a city
which he describes as '.by far the most
modern and elegant fashionable resort
in South America" Although the eli
mate of Santiago is similar to that OF
Washington or st. Louis, the people
have an i.lea that fires in their houses
are unhealthful, and, except in dwell
ings built by English or American resi-
dents, there is nothing like a CRATE or
stove TO be found. Every one wears the
warmest sort of underclothing and
heavy wraps indoors and out. The peo-
pie spend six months OF the year in q
perpetual shiver and thc other six in a
perpetual perspiration. 1t looks rather
odd to see civilized people sitting in
parlor surrounded by every possible lux
ury, fire alone excepted, wrapped in
furs and rugs, with blue noses and chat
tering teeth, when coal is cheap and the
mountains are covered with timber: but
nothing can convince Chillano that ar
tificial heat is healthful, and during the
winter, which is the rainy season, he
has not the wit to warm his chilled body.
1t Is odd, too, to see in the streets men
wearing fur caps, and with their throats
wrapped in heavy mufflers, while the
women who walk beside them have moth
fng az all on their heads. During the
morning, while on their way from mass,
or while shopping, the women wear the
manta, as they do in Peru, but in the
afternoon, on the promenade or when
riding they so bareheaded. The prevail
ing diseases are pneumonia and other
throat and lung troubles, and during the
winter the mortality from these causes is
immense, but the Chillano persists in be-
hevinS that tartifiaial heat poisons the at
nosphere, and when he visits the home
of foreigner, and finds a fire, he will
ask that the door be left aiar so that he
maybe as chilly as usual. At fashion
able gatherings, dinner parties and the
like, women may be seen in full evening
dress, with bare arms and shoulders,
while the temperature of the room is be-
tween 40 and so degs. Fahrenhcit.

The plague which the agriculturists OF
England ago now suffering from the raw
ages Of rats is not without precedent in
Canada. The nearest approach to this
rat plague is the plague Of mice which
visited Prince edward Island and Nova
Scotia in the early part Of the century.
As long ago as 1909 the undue preya-
lence OF mice in Prince Edward Island,
or the Island Of St. John as it was then
called, was noted by the French settlers;
and ia 111l, both ON that island and on
the adjacent main land, complaint
arose that these animals were again too
numerous and too familiar In the lat
ter year the mice visited the fields and
ate up everything, including the pota-
toes, and having finished this disastrous
worl, they turned their attention to liter
ATTIRE, and consumed the leather binding
of the settlers books.-Ottawa Telegram.

An Alarm Bottle for Poisons.

\ Chicago man has invented bottle
stopper to be used exclusively for posons.
The superiority over the old fashioned
article lies in the construction Of the
stopper The projection which enters
the neck of the bottle is ground glass.
with a small hole in one side, through
which protrudes little rod or trigger.
The top of the stopper is covered with a
small bell inclosing cog wheels, which
are so arranged that when the stopper is
removed the bell will ring. When it is
laid down it rings again, and when re-
turned to its place in the bottle it again
sounds an alarm. The mechanism is so
arranged that it is absolutely impossible
to remove or replace the stopper without
first ringing the bell, thus making it inn
possible for druggist, if he is careful in
the filling Of his bottles, to deal out poi
son in the place Of harmless drugs with
out receiving a warning as to the dam
gerous nature Of the preparalioa.-.Chi-

DR.. Hansen. the Norwegian discovereI
of the bacillus of leprosy, came over to
this country while ago to trace the his
tory of lcpcr immigrants who had settled
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota.
OF 100 original leper immigrants he was
able to find only 10; few more may be
living, but nearly 147 are dead. OF all
their descendants, SO far as great-grand-
children, not one has become a leper. In
this country the disease does not increase
nor does it appear to be hereditary. The
failure to spread here is thought to be
due to the improved conditions Of living
which the immigrants are able to secure
on this side Of the ocean.
The Sanitary Inspector, in speaking Of
a lopor lately found at Brentwood, Eng
land, says that many persons believe that
loprosy has entirely disappeared from
England. yc. there has probably never
been q year in which a score of Icpors
