they danced right well for books-in fact,

Empress rrsderick.s Kindness.

The German Empress Frederick loves
little children. She never fails to mo-
tice every one she sees, and will often
stop in her walks and speak to them.
Even grubbiness will not deter her from
taking particularly fine baby in her
arms, though, of course, she prefers
them clean. In return, children, who
always know their friends by instinct,
are attracted to the Empress, and the
following little incident which oe-
Cured lately. illustrates this: A gen
tleman who passed daily between three
and four o'clock along the road that
leads from Berlin to Charlottenburg
noticed little girl always standing
at the corner of the Hardenburg Strasse,
and at last he asked her why she did
it because of the Empress Frederick.
she answered. When the Empress was
in Berlin she drove every day when il
was fine toward Charlottenburg with
her daughters. and at the Hippodrome
they got out of their carriages and
walked. Her Majesty noticed the little
girl always waiting at the same place,
and invariably nodded kindly in &C
acknowledgement OF her courtesy, where
upon the child went home beaming. -

VERY HIGH MOUNTAINS.


According to Geological A authorities They
Are OF Recent Origin.
At one time there can be little doubt
that the colossal system OF ancient
peaks running right across the West
ern continent from Nova Scotia and
Labrador to the Missouri river must
have equaled in magnitude the Hima-
layas, the Andes or the Rocky mount
aims. 1t forms the first rough sketch
and axis of America. But as it belongs
TO o period even earlier than the
primary rocks OF ordinary British
geology period inconceivably and
intellectually remote-it has been ex-
posed for countless centuries &c
the wearing effect of rain, frost,
snow aud rivers. In many places,
therefore, the Laurentian range is re-
dsced to mere low plain of very solid
gneiss, much scratched in strange hero
glyphics by the vast glaciers of the
great ice age, and sometimes even hol-
lowed out into beds of lakes or trayersed
by the basins of existing streams.
Many parts of it, occupied by great
sheets of water, actually fall below sea
level Yet even to this day, in its dis
honored age, the Laurentian country,
however fat, preserves certain vague
mountain characteristics in the bare
ness Of its rocks, the picturesque detail
Of its sparse pine-clad slopes, and the
number and beauty of its wild torrent
cataracts. You feel instinctively you
are in a mountain country, though you
stand in the midst of great UNMARRIED
plain. The Laurentian range is like
Scotland pressed fiat, or like the Dclo-
mites or Auvergne with the wrinkles
ironed out of them. 1t has nothing in
common with the great plains which
have always been plains and nothing

Russia.

AFRiCA'S KOLA NUT.
A Rival of Tea and Coffee and . substi-
tute for Tonnes.

A Rival of Tea and Coffee and . substi-
tute for Tonnes.
A paper by Mr. T. Christy was read at
meeting of the Balloon Society, St
James Hall, on the African kola nut.
concerning which many remarkable
statements have recently been pub
lished. The kola nut is held In great
respect by the natives of the western
coast of Africa on account of its won
derful stimulating and sustaining
powers. The nut is ground into fine
powder and carried about the person
during long journeys, when often the
only sustenance consists of chew" of
this kola. Thanks to it, many have
been able to stave off thirst and hunger,
while others declare that after severe
days work of marching nothing so re-
wives the system as a kola nut As
basis for a beverage, the analysis pub
hshed comparing the heterogeneous prin-
ciples, chemically defined and crystal
liable, kola takes precedence over tea.
coffee and cocoa. while. owing to the
almost entire absence of tannin from it,
it does not injure to impair the diges-
tive organs. The stimulating tonic and
sustaining powers of kola are mostly
due to the caffeine, Of which it contains
over "a per cent; and sufferers from
indigestion, nervous or bilious head
aches will, the lecturer remarked, hail
with satisfaction beverage which they
can drink as substitute for tea, coffee,
or cocoa. The lecturer pointed out the
advantages of this nut to sportsmen,
athletes, brain-workers, during the
/ times when they are straining
/ their powers of endurance. From the
accounts given kola is likely to prove
| not only great rival to tea and coffee,
| but also q substitute for the ordinary
! run of tonics and stimulants. Planters
/ in the tropics having low-lying, marshy
lands will find the kola tree profita-
BILE product yielding as it does, at full
maturity, about a hundred weight Of
nuts per annum. The flowefing and
fruiting take place simultaneously
twice year, so that there is presented
the curious sight of tree bearing fruit
and flower at the same moment.
An interesting letter was read at the
Paris Academy of Medicine recently on
the action of kola as nourishment and
sustaining power for walkers, and spe-
cially for the army. DR.. Heckel, of Mar
settles, the writer of the letter, argues
that the fruit of the kola plant should
be used as part of the soldiers rations,
inasmuch as it enables men to make
long marches without corresponding
fatigue. He gives various instances in
support of his statement and especial
ly mentions test made during a ma.
neuver of the Sixth Army Corps.-Pub-
