A Man Who Would Not Be King.

After life's fitful fever Jules Gros, jour
nalist, composer of comic songs, and some
time president of the shadowy republic of
Guiana, in South America, has died at
Vanves, southeastern suburb of Paris.
Gros was an indefatigable globe trotter,
and in the course of his peregrinations had
taken notes, which, when published in
Paris, obtained for him due recognition
from the Geographical society Some two
years ago another wandering friend of his
M. Guignes-asked him to become mon
arch of slice Of No Mans Land, on the
borders Of French Guiana and Brazil.
Gros refused royal honors, but declared his
willingness to become president of the re-
public Of Independent Guiana az the small
territory was pompously called.
The young republic, therefore, was
started on paper, a cabinet was formed,
M. Guignes being appointed prime minis
ter, and the Order of the Star of Counani
was instituted. Meanwhile protests were
raised against the proceedings of the would
be founders of a new commonwealth by
the Brazilian and Dutch governments.
Gros was ordered to give up his presidency
by the French minister for foreign affairs
and to return home. He did so, and what
ever semblance of a republic was left to the
natives of Independent Guiana, or Cou-
mani, was carried on by M Guignes, who
organized cabal against his old friend
and chief Gros, however, did not give up
his dreams of ambition, and succeeded
it is said, in obtaining the assistance Of
some English spectators, who offered to
reinstate him.
Embarking once more for Guiana In a
British vessel, Gros, after a voyage to the
West Indies, was taken back to Europe.
He returned to Paris and settled down in
his little house at Vanves, where he has

Catarrh, Not Local, But COnstitn-
tiOnal

DIR. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician, in magazine article says:
IA radical error underlies nearly all
medical treatment of catarTb. It is not
disease Of the mans nose; it is a
disease of the man, showing itself In the
nOse-a local exhibition of a constitu-
tional trouble" Therefor, he argues,
the use of snuff and other local appli-
cations is wrong, and while they seem
to give temporary relief, f,they really do
M ore harm than good. Other leading
authorities agree with DIR. Lewis.
Hence, the only prof. ar method of cure
for catarrh is by taking constitution
al remedy like Hoods ,Sarsaparilla,
which, reaching every part of the body
through the blood, does eliminate all
impurities and makes the whole man
healthier. 1t removes the cause of the
trouble and restores the diseased MEM
brane to proper condition. That this
is the practical result is proven by
thousands of people who have been
cured of catarrh by taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

The Piscina Of an Enalisb Churoh

Often in the furthermost end of an
aisle or transcept, recessed into the wall,
or but slightly standing out of it, brack.
ct fashion, may be seen the small piscina
that was used in old times when there
was an altar there. Besides these, only
much more rarely, piscina upon the
ground may be seen. This is a small
hole upon the floor at the east end of the
church, south of the altar. If there were
no piscina into which to pour the water
In which the chalice was rinsed, we
might assume this was intended to carry
1t away, but in three out of four ex-
amples known there are piscinm on the

The method by Which the beautifu

The method by which the beautiful
dead black color is produced by the
French cabinet-makers hasjust been
explained in one of the technical jour
nails. A wood is selected which has a
dense compact grain, and it is first
brushed with camphor water. This is
followed by solution of sulphate of
iron, mixed with tincture of nut-galls.
In this way is obtained the deep, black
stain so necessary for the subsequent
treatment The surface is now rubbed
with brush made of couch grass, and
this is followed by rubbing with fan
mel moistnned with turpentine and
linseed oil. The surface is thus grad,
ually brought up to the desired finish.
1t is said that the color is vastly sup
erior.to any black obtained by either
planting or vanishing.

the spreading of the flames, that FOR time
threatened the destruction OF the upper
end of the town Through the superhuman
efforts OF the neighbors the fire was con-
fined to the two houses, Ermire'S and

his household goods. Fears We're enter
tanned at the time of the discovery OF the hre
that Peter ErmiIe, who lived alone i'll his
house was in the building and burned up.
The fears proved too true as after the hre
had somewhat subsidized, the remains Of the
unfortunate man were found in the ashes.

ident OF Wilmorc or vicinity for perhaps
forty years. He was twice married his
