Not Arrived Yet.

1t sometimes seems that although
the "diYinity that doth hedge king"
is now an unknown quantity, some
royal personages might be recognized
by their common sense.
The Princess Marie, wife of the Dan
ish Prince Valdemar. was iourneying
through Helsingor one day, on an ex-
cursion to Sweden. The stationmast-
er heard of her coming, and not only
decorated the waiting-room with lilies,
but set a watch at the door, to pre-
vent the public from intruding on the
royal privacy.
At the expected time the princess
and her sister appeared, unattended,
each carrying small hand basket.
These surely could not be princesses!
The brusque Waterman blocked the
doorway.
"You can't 60 in" said he.
"Why not?" asked the astonished
travellers.
Because we expect the Princess
Marie"
"Then keep a goodlookout for her. !"
laughed the amused lady, and went
through the common gate to the plat
form. The station master waited all
day. and then concluded that the
princess had taken another route.

CONTAMINATION Not Hereditary

CONSUMPTION Not Hereditary.
The accumulation of such evidence
is becoming so great that every ply
stefan of experience feels forced to
share the belief OF the communicable
ity of consumption. There are also
few physicians who have not had one
or more cases that for years they had
not had thought had been contract
ed in this way. How else than by
communications are we to account
for the rapid spread of consumption
among savage nations, where this di-
sease was unknown before civilized
people began to visit themS This is
rue of our own American Indians, the
inhabitants of Central Africa, and
many other countries. Intermarry-
ng, or any other condition which
night make hereditary transmission
I possible cause, certainly would not
account for its rapid progress, Besides,
some of the best observers and lnves-
tigators believe that consumption is
not HEREDITARY, and there is much pos
tive evidence in favor of this view.
With such evidence of the possibility
of inhaling the bacilli, the question
would naturally be asked. How do the
bacilli get into the atmosphere, when
they are not found in the breath of
sufferers OF this disease? We know
positively that in these cases bacilli
are present in the mucus which is
raised after coughing. In its moist
condition it is impossible for it to be
inhaled, but when it dries and be-
comes dust it is blown about, and it
is in this form that it becomes dan
geruus.-North American Review.

AUSTRALIANS PEST,

A Pair Of Rabbits Will Increase to
100000 in Years.
The plague of rabbits in Australia
cannot be described without seeming
exaggeration to those who have not
had experience of it. Origin
ally introduced in colony of
about a score of individuals by
q squatter near Melbourne, who
thought their familiar presence on his
station would remind him of home"
they have kept the recollection of
England so fresh in the minds of past-
oralists as to tempt them to very
REASONABLE language concerning her
whenever rabbits are mentioned,
The fecundity OF the rabbit is amaz-
ing, and his invasion of remote dis
tricts swift and mysterious. Careful
estimates show that under favorable
conditions, pair of Australian rab-
bits will produce six litters a year,
averaging five individuals each AS
the offspring themselves begin
breeding at the age Of six months,
it is shone that, at this rate
the original pair might be re-
sponsible in five years for a pro-
geny of over 20,0OO,OOOl That the
original score which were brought to
the country have propagated after
some such ratio, no one can doubt
who mas seen the enormous hordes
that now devastate the land in GER
tain districts. In all but the remoter
sections, however, the rabbits are
now fairly under control, one rabbiter
with q pack of dogs supervises sta
tions where 100 were employed 10
years ago, and with ordinary vigil
lance the squatters have little TO fear.
Millions OF the animals have been
killed by fencing in the water-holes
and dams during q dry season,
whereby they died OF thirst, and lie in
i enormous piles against the ohstruc-
| tions they had frantically and vain
| ly striven to CLIMB, and poisoned
grain and fruits have killed myriads
more. A fortune of EOS, 900, offered by
the New South Wales government,
still awaits the man who can invent
some means of general destruction,
and the knowledge of this fact has
brought to the notice of the various
colonial governments some very origi.

Order in The House.

The French Parliament was not al
ways famous for the excitements and
turmoils of its debates. In the old
monarchical days, before the Revolu-
ton, the sessions OF the old Parlia-
ment were exceedingly dull and prosy
affairs
One day, it is related, noble count
was trying to make a speech it was,
while all the other members were eth
er chatting or resting.
Presently the president OF the body
raped slightly with his baton.
"If those gentlemen who are talking
to each other" said he, would kindly
make more noise than those gentle
men who are snoring, it would he much
appreciated by those gentlemen who
are trying to listen!"

She Was Giddy Young Thing, an
He Bored Her Horribly.
On our journey toward Sligo an &C
cident occurred so unexpectedly and
characteristic that it deserves to be
mentioned. We were inside passen-
gers by mail coach, and before it
started a young bride and bridegroom
on their honeymoon joined us. The
bride was charming, and Carlyle cour-
teously talked to her about sight
seeing and the pleasures of travelling,
mounting at times to higher themes,
like man who never had q care. He
got out of the coach for a moment at
a roadside station, and the bride,
whom I happened to have known at
Belfast, from where she came, immedi.
ately exclaimed: "Wno is that twad-
ding old Scotchman who allows no

amused as | was. But philosophers,
/ suppose, don't like to be laughed at
by young brides, for he was as much
disconcerned by theincident as beau
of four-and- twenty. The absurdity
OF her Judgment he refused to see, and
was disposed to insist that she was
merely a charming embodiment of the
vox populi, for undoubtedly he was
an old Scotchman, and probably
twaddled a good deal to no purpose.

The Light of other Days.

The day when man first discovered how
to supply himself with artificial light must
be very far back, but many generations
went by before he had anything better than
torches for outdoor use and for indoor
conveniences a wick floating loosely in
vessel OF oil. Gas as an illuminant is not
old, the electric light is the invention of
yesterday while there are thousands OF
people not yet three score and ten, whose
youthful lessons were learned by the feeble
CLEAN of a tallow candle. In the country
households, the manufacturer of weekly
or monthly supply of candles came as reg
ularly as wash day. The soldiers Of the
late war remember star" candles very well,
but doubtless few can tell whence the
name. The d,scoverer of a process
to separate glycerine and fatty matters
from stearic acid in the making Of candles
was the Frenchman DeMile, whose fac
tory at Paris was located at the "Barriere
de l'Etoile- barrier Tor gate) of the star, :"
and from this circumstance his manufac-
lures were known as star candles. The
days of such illuminatOrs are gone, and the
luxurious cars of our modern railroads are
lighted by gas or electricity. To many
eyes, however, the electric glare is unpl cas-
ant, but all are satisfied with the soft yet
brilliant illumination Of The BHrIing-
ton So vestibuled train by the Frost Dry
CarburetOr System. For tickets over this

A Smelling Contest.

One oil the new games is the smelling
contest. From eight to dozen diff
erent bottles, filled with odoriferous
liquids, are prepared by druggist

son who enters the contest is given a
card with corresponding numbers
printed thereon. The contestant
takes Whit at each bottle and writes

MARRIAGE In PARIS.

Saturday Is the Popular Day for
Workingmen--Wh Is Necessary.
Before Pierre can with safety select
his particular Saturday he has a null
titude of civil and religious require
ments to attend to, says an exchange.
Neither he nor Lizette can think of
such thing as marrying without the
consent of their families. If father,
mother and grandparents are dead a
family council must be called of the
nearest living relatives to consider the
case and give or withhold permission.
Ii it is refused to Pierre and he is I'M
der 25, or to Lizette and she is under
21, the marriage cannot go on.
For eleven days before the civil mar
riage can take pace there must be
pasted at the door OF the mayors

each lives q bulletin giving the names,

If there is religious service the
bans will be published three Sundays
running in the church of the parish
attended by each party.
While these preliminaries are in pro
gress Pierre is collecting the docu
ments necessary for the civil ceremo
ny. 1t is no small outlay, for each

must be certificates of the births oil

doubtful. A marriage contract means
that there is property to be regulated

Horrible Adventure of Young Girl
in a Dark Church BeIfry.
Miss Lavina Hull OF Myrtle Hill had
a narrow escape in the Belfry of the
Baptist Church. Miss Hullis 9years
old and his performed the duties OF
ianitrix OF the building for three years.
While she was ringing the bell FOR
prayer meeting the bell-rope suddenly
parted. After service, with lantern,
she climbed to the belfry to repair it.
When she reached the gloomy place
she found that the rope had been
gnawed in two by rats, near the cell
ing. She began to mend the strands,
but had proceeded only a little with
her work when she heard a squeaking
sound behind her. Looking around
she saw host of shining balls in the
darkness.
She knew they were rats and swung
her arms at them, but the animals
did not dispense. Their numbers
rapidly increased until she was com
pletely surrounded by q ring of gleam-
ing eyes. The girl became alarmed
and prepared to descend to the vesti-
buIe of the church, but before she was
erect the vicious rodentsrushed at her
in a body and sprang upon her,
decorating her flesh wherever they
could find a place to set their teeth.
Miss Hull possessed a luxuriant
growth of hair, which hung in a braid
down her back. The braid was
almost severed from her head by the
rats and her arms and shoulders bled
profuseIy from the wounds made by
the bites. She rang the bell loud as
she could and Arthur Rawson and
two other young men who were
passing rushed into the church an6
climbed to the beliry. In the struggle
Rawson was badly bitten. The
physicians say it will be many weeks
before the brave girl RECEIVERS from hal

The Frightful Fate of Marquise de

Marquise de la Valette. Three months
ago the Marquise was standing in
front other dressing cheval glass,
putting the finishing touches to her
toilet, preparatory to going to din
ner party, when the ornamental tissue
paper shade which covered one of the
candles caught fire, and the burning
fragments fell upon the light and airy
costume in which she was attired.
In all instant the Marquise
was in flames; her maid rush
ed to her assistance and also
caught fire. The shrieks of the terri
fed women brought the Marquis and
some of the tootmen upstairs, and all
united in their efforts to put out the
flames. The maids dress was soon
extinguished, bu5 that of the Marquise,
together with all her underclothing,
was reduced to a cinder.
For three long months she suffered
tortures. Even had she recovered,
the doctors say, she would have pre-
sented an appearance almost painful
to behold. Ali her good looks had
departed, and nothing but a scared
and Scared remembrance remained
of the once lovely figure which moved
with such queenly grace through the
drawing-rooms of Partisan society.
The Marquise died in the most hor-
rible agony, all the Efforts of the
most accomplished physicians having
failed to induce the burned flesh to
reassume healthy growth. General
sympathy is expressed for the Mar
quie de la Valette who is equally as
popular as was his last consort.-N,
