The French in Algeria.

All this indicates that the French in
Algeria have come to stay. The only
drawback to this is not physical, but
moral; it is in the French themselves,
who, not content to expatriate, willingly
submit to repatriation, but are always
signing for la patrie. As paid my COM
ailments to the engineer on his splendid
work, expressed the hope tina: he would
live to see all these mountain valleys
filled by French population, to which
madame quickly replied: But we hope
to return to France!' "Ah, yes" said
the husband, ''there is but one France. "
1t is this signing for the old home that
makes it difficult for the French to be-
come good colonists. Chicsgo Inter

While delving for information on the
subject of the city's health l ascertained
what l believe is not generally known in
New Orleans-that leprosy exists here to
a remarkable extent. 1t has been known
here in vague sort of way that there
were some cases of the dreaded disease in
the lower parishes, but not that it pre-
vailed to any extent in New Orleans.
There are now under treatment in the
Charity hospital no less than eighteen
cases. What is more remarkable, and
should be of absorbing interest to the peo-
pie here, is the fact. ! am informed on
authority, that the luckless victims dc
not know with what they are afflicted,

A WONDERFUL MACHINE.

There is no doubt that man is a fine
mechanism, but like every other machine
he wears out by friction. 1t is said that he
is born again every two or three years. His
body is virtually remade from food. To
retard this making over is radically wrong,
as a man loses SO much vitality in the de-
layed process that it takes a long time to
recuperate. The process of making anew
is SO accelerated by purging with BRAN
DRET rs PILLS that a new man. as it were,
may be made in two or three months, and
the change in the mechanism is such that
the WORKOUT part is replaced by the new
without the usual running down of the en-
tire machine. You don't have to stop for
repairs. Purge away with BRASDRETH's
PILLS the old, diseased and worn-out body.
BRANDRETH PILLS are purely vegetable,
absolutely harmless and safe to take at any
time.

In appearance Mr. Du Maurier bears a

she said: "Oh, bought your photograph the

pressed his willingness, and later on in the
evening the young lady conducted him to a

gently on the table. That" he said, lis Mr..
