The French Colony of Algeria.

While a number of the leading European
governments have recently adopted the so
called colonial policy as a means both of
increasing their national trade and of pro-
viding an outlet for their people, expert
ences which have recently been brought to
light in France would indicate that
colonial policy may be an exceedingly ex-
pensive luxury for a nation to adopt.
In a recent debate in the chamber of
deputies on the government of the colony
of Algiera the calculation was made from
official reports that in the last forty years
that colony had cost France over and
above the income received therefrom, quite
$500, 900, ,000 and what is more, the annual
costs at the present time are even larger
than in previous years.
1t might be said that these large outgoes
were no more than France was justified in
sending for the purpose of providing de-
sirable for her people; but, although
Algeria is a remarkably fertile country and
offers many opportunities, it docs not
seem to attract the French colonists The
total population of French origin is only
260, 900, while there are an equal number of
white people not of French nationality.
These latter have, by the local laws, ex-
emption from taxation granted them that
the French colonist is not accorded, and
what is more, the rate of taxation upon
the 100000 or more natives is several
times greater than upon the French col
onist or foreign resident
The French will not settle in Algeria as
colonists, although large numbers visit the
country each year as tourists, which would
seem to prove that unless nation has an
aptitude for colonization-and this was no
doubt what the French possessed six or
eight generations ago when they settled
Canada-it is useless for it to spend money
and exhaust an effort in acquiring and at
tempting to develop the waste places on
earth.-Boston Herald

eve had more fun last winter than you
could shake stick at" said pretty little
friend of mine who is puzzling her dear
little brain over all the isms and ologies
that are taught at Sage college, the female
annex to Cornell university.
'I wouldn't tell you about it for the
world if school wasn't out and everybody
gone away. But mind, if you print word
of it will never speak to you again.
"You know most Of the girls at Sage are
serious, solemn things, who seem to think
that the chief end of life is to beat the boys
and take all the prizes. don't. prefer
to have the boys take the prizes and then
take me. Then it is all in the family, don't
you see? But the girls amt all prigs and
digs. Some of them are lovely-that is,
l mean real jolly and full of fun.
"We had some of that kind there last
winter, and poor Mrs. Hooper, the matron,
was almost driven wild by them. You are
supposed to be in your room at a certain
hour, and not think of poking your nose
out till morning. Bless your heart, do you
think a real, live girl, filed with the love
of nature and fond of studying astronomy
in companies of two is going to put up
with any such imprisonment. We-that
is to say, they-didn't last winter, but
found some means of escape, and had lots
of good times sleigh riding with the boys.
The leakage of students was discovered,
but how did they get out? That was the
question. Poor Mrs. Hooper sat up at
nights and watched. She had insomnia with
thinking She actually lost flesh with
worrying, for she was afraid that there
might be some horrid story get into the
newspapers, don't you know.
AT last the mystery was solved, and
what do you think it was? The coal chute
that ran down into the cellar This was
the way that the girls got out

Owners of wagons of every description,
and who wish they had sleighs instead
when snow is on the ground, will be inter

runners just patented. The parts are de-
signed to be readily separated or put to-
gether without the use OF tools. and may
be conveniently carried in the vehicle to
which they are to be applied. Besides the
usual tires, the runners have each a side
shield, extending slightly above the surface
Of the runner, and in the runners are set
threaded blocks, in which are removably
secured, by means of thumbscrews, the

How LouI. Napoleon Died.

A telegram from Rome has announced
the publication of Life of Prince Napo-
leon" which is likely to create some sensa-
ton in the political world. There is an
earlier work-which. though it does not
bear the signature of, Prince Napoleon, was
undoubtedly inspired by him-of which a
few stray copies have reached England 1t
is called lie Prince Imperial, )" and pur-
ports to be written by D'Herisson. It is
aimed against the Empress Eugene, whom
it sayagely pursues from her birth to the
downfall of the empire-an event directly
attributed to her influence.
There is long chapter describing the in
trigues that went on around the deathbed
of the emperor. 1t will be remembered
that at the time of his death there was a
report that that event was due not to the
effects of the operation which Sir Henry
Thompson performed, but to an overdose
of chloral. This singular book, certainly
written with intimate knowledge of the
inner circle of imperial affairs, confirms
this report. Napoleon III. it says, took the
chloral, fell asleep and never woke again.

Reading i'm Bed.

1t is a widespread belief that TO read
while in lying position is hurtful to the
eyes, and is therefore dangerous lux
ury. As rule, some truth can be sifted
out of every popular saying. More or less
Influenced by the superstitions which seem
part of our very organization, we have Of
ten abused this privilege. quieting our con-
science by kind of mental protest. Ex-
periencing no inconvenience from the en-
joyment of reading in bed, we came to the
point of questioning the truthfulness of
the adage, however hoary with respecta-
bility age has made it.
A reporter got the opinion of the surgeon
IN charge of the Presbyterian Eye, Ear and
Throat. Charity hospital on the matter
''Injury to the eyes in reading" he said,
-'comes not from the position of the body,
but from the way in which light falls upon
the book. Provided the open page receives
the light, and at the same time the eyes
are shielded from the direct harsh rays.
reading can be indulged in to any extent
when the body is in the recumbent posture
No one questions this when, during their
summer outing, they stretch themselves on
the turf or in a hammock, under the shade
of friendly tree. Why should they ques-
tion it when they lie on a soft couch at
home?
'The straining to sight comes from the
improper illumination of the printed sur
face; as, when persons read in bed from a
distant gas jet, which throws the light on
the back of the book, and necessarily into
the eyes of the reader, while the page pc
rused is in shadow. If the gaslight in
the center of the room or at the bureau is
good and the reader reverses the pillow to
the foot of the bed, so as to have the light
fall on the open book, no more harm can
come to the eye from the recumbent pos
ture than from reading at table with the
light overhead.

ers that reading lying down was injurious

was proverbially Indifferent, and when the

A Church Flooded with Honey.

Who ever heard of church being flooded
with honey? The very idea sounds ridicu-
lous, and in any other place than Califor-
MIA would excite only smile of incredu-
lity. We have all heard about places that
"fowed with milk and honey" and meta
phorical references to the "droppings of
the sanctuary" are familiar, but it has re-
mained for swarm of bees to make literal
facts of these familiar metaphors
1t appears that lot of vagrant bees,
while in search of suitable home, found
an admirable location in the loft of an
Episcopalian church in Tulare county.
Here, having an abundance of space, they
increased and multiplied, and at the same
time laid in large store of honey. Great
white combs were attached to the rafters
overhead, and were built downward and
added to- until hundreds of pounds of
sweetness were hidden away in the delicate
white waxen cells
~-One contingency, however, was not pro-
vided against and, indeed, was not ex-
pected. The normal temperature in the
contracted proportions of the loft was of a
character admirably suited for the best ad-
vantage of the bees, and had that tempera-
ture continued this story would never have
been written. -
1t is almost unnecessary to remind read
ers that week or two ago California was
visited with something bearing a remark
able likeness to sirocco. In a word, it
was hot-deucedly hot.
In the loft of the church, where the bees
we're holding high carnival, the tempera-
ture rose and rose until it reached the
melting point Wax gave way beneath the
torrid heat, and now, down the rafters,
along the scantlings, over the laths and
down the joists began to flow streams of
liquid sweetness. They found crevices
here and there, and soon altar, pulpit,
chancel, furniture, prayer books and all
the belongings of the interior of the sacred
edifice were treated to such deluge as the
world had never seen. ss
Efforts were made to stay the sticky tide,
but these were only partially successful,
and before anything could be done the in
terror of the church was sight to behold,
and damage had been done that required
expense and hard work to remedy.-San

Little Danger from water Poisoning.

In Glasgow the practice of supplying
houses from cisterns is comparatively rare,
and should be entirely abolished when the
additional aqueduct, now in course of con-
struction between Loeb Katrine and the
city, is completed. Taking all things into
consideration, it seems clear that the dan
ger from lead contamination, if it,exists at
all, is not such as to cause public alarm.
The appearance of an occasional doubtful
case of poisoning is very different from the
extensive epidemics. clearly traceable to
the water supply. which have at various
times occurred at Sheffield, Bradford and
other towns.-London Engineering
