Renan was born at Treguier February q,
1923. After the fathers death the family
was reduced to complete destitution; the
eldest brother of Renan-then 19-started
for Paris; the sister, Henriette-aged IL
would certainly have embraced religious
life had she not had this little brother, to
whom she was devoted, to whom she de-
voted her whole life, and who, she felt, had
need of her. Renan was then Z. 1t was
for him and her mother that the young girl
courageously undertook to give lessons in
the neighboring towns.
During this time, Renan having COM
menced his education at Treguier under the
excellent priests who directed sort. of
small seminary, had awakened notice by his
uuickness and intelligence. He was rec
commended to NJ Dupanloup, who, desirous
of acquiring a good pupil. offered him a
scholarship in the little Seminary of St.
Nicholas du Chardonnet
The life of Renan is open to all; he COM
municates direct with the public, gives
himself up to it entirely-too much per-
haps. 1t is known that, appointed to the
College de France, at the end of a lesson
which had provoked tumultuous and con-
trary manifestations he refused to give in
his resignation and was revoked. NJ. Jules
Simon in 1870 gave him the chair which
since that time he has not ceased to occupy.
In 1878 he was appointed at the Academic
Franchise; since 1856 he has formed part of

suspected among these mountaineers, col.
country we now possess. Dr. LeDz in 1879,
disguised as a Mohammedan merchant, also
travelled unscathed throueA a corner of this
region, crossing one mountain pass; and
Walter B. Harris, in 1888, wearing the dress
of middle class Moor, and with his legs
and arms stained brown, visited Sheshouan,
one of the largest towns of the tanatical
Berbers. He was compelled to play the
part of deaf mute, for his knowledge of
Arabic was so imperfect that his speech
would have betrayed him. He used trusty
Arab bov as a means of communication.
These Berbers reside in walled towns that
are often perched high on the mountain sides.
One month they are tilling the soil of the
fertile valleys and the next they may be off
on foray against their peace-loving neigh
bors. Six instances of piracy have been re-
ported within the past Is months, and each
time the Sultan o Morocco has been called
upon to pay heavy damages. There is no
telling when the lawless spirit of these
mountain brigands will be broken, unless
Morocco, some day, falls into the hands of

The Touaregs of tho Desert.
Among the chronological curiosities at the
last Worlds Fair in Paris, were a number
of Touaregs from the Sahara desert. They
had been taken prisoners In a fight with
Algerian troops, and had been kept in con-
fnement in Algeria for year before they
were removed to Paris So little was
known of these terrible bandits of the Sa-
hara, that when the news came that some of
them were actually prisoners, the French
Government dispatched two scientific men
to Algiers with instructions to get from the
captives all that could be learned of the
history Of their great tribe, and of their
customs, arts and language. The two
scholars spent most of their time for three
months in the Algiers prison, and the in
formation they obtained has been published.
To-day, the French are building large
military post at Ell Golea, an oasis In the
northern part of the desert, and it is their
expectation and policy, using Ell Golea as a
base of operations, to SO far subdue the
Touaregs as to insure the safety of caravan
traffic across the Sahara. This step will be
an essential preliminary to carrying out the

Quantities Of Liquor Taken Separately

Pearson's Weekly.l
The first stage of drunkenness is disor-
ganization of the stomach, and this is pro-
duced much more quickly by subjecting it
to the irritation of two or three stimulants
at the same time than by continuing to
drink the same for O much longer period.
Again, the stomach of n person accustomed
to taking alcohol usually becomes Injured to
whatever may be his favorite and most fre-
quent drink. and much more of this would
be required to make him drunk than of any
other. ut if a totally strange mixture of
more or less familiar into1icants be sud-
denly swallowed the shock to the stomach is
so great that it will in some cases produce
not only intoxication. but rapid insensi-
bility, and even death if the dose is strong
enough. Some forms of alcohol are singu-
larly antagonistic and therefore produce
this collapse of the stomach, and hence of
the whole system, much more quickly than
others.
Perhaps the most fatal is a mixture of
equal parts of whisky and strong stout, o
draught of which has been known to kill
man more quickly than an overdose of
laudanum would have done.

During the first week in May the ship
San Antonio and the bark Goleta, both
Spanish, were captured by pirates off the
north coast of Morocco, almost within sight
of Europe. The cargoes were carried off to
the mountain retreats of the robbers. Cap
tain Albania, of the Goleta, was taken in
land, held for ransom, and daily beaten
and nearly starved tor a week, until his
poor relatives in Spain managed to scrape
together $500, which his captors accepted,
though they had demanded $1,000 as the
price of his release. Spain has demanded an
indemnity from the Sultan of Morocco Poor
Muley Hassan is still turning his customs
duties into the Spanish treasury as indem-
nifty for the war of 1860, which was precipi-
tated, in part, by the crimes of these same
outlaws, whose occasional attacks upon
commerce are now the only yestige of the
palmy days of piracy along the Barbary
coast.
Among the Riff mountains, stretching
along the Mediterranean live these wild
Berber bands. They defy the Sultan. They
recently killed governor whom Muley
Hassan undertook to place over them. "We
have no ruler except our guns" was. the
word they sent to Muley Hassan five years
ago. The Moorish armies have never been
able to get possession of these mountain
areas, which. almost overlooking Europe,
are to-day among the least known and most

Some Astonishing Egg-Layers.

Some silkworms lay from 1000 to 1000
eggs, the wasp 5000, the ant from 5000 to
5000. The number of eggs laid by the
queen bee has long been in dispute. Bur-
meister says from 5000 to 6,000, but Spence
that the of fel.tv fit
will lay not less than 40, 900 and probably as
high as $4,000 in one season. Termes
latalis, the white ant, is possessed of the
most extraordinary egg-laying propensities
of any known creature; she often produces
sc, 400 eggs in a single day! From the time
when the white ant begins to lay until the
egg-laving season is over-usually reckoned
by ensomologists as an exact lunar month
she produces 2,50O,0 900 eggs! In point of
fecundity the white ant exceeds all other
creatures

Lighthouses and Liphr,h,ps.

A plan is now being tested in England
for the securing of communication with
lighthouses and lightships without the cable
actually going or board. In the first tests,
which were fairly successful, a twin cable
was led out from the shore to within .
quarter of mile of the lighthouse or ship.
The cores were then forked out and ended
in large earth plates about a quarter of q
mile apart, one on either side of the place
to be telegraphed to. Two earth plates
were put overheard, one from either end of
the lightships, or ON either side of the light
house. More signals sent along the twin
cable from the shore could be distinctly
heard in telephone on board the ightship.
