TYPHooN IN THE HAINAN STRAITS.

TYPHoON IN THE HAINAN STRAITS.
On June oath, what was an
nounced as "small depression in
the Tonkin gulf" developed into a
typhoon which blew with consider
able force in the Hainan straits
and along the south coast. The
two steamers Hanoi and Frejr,
which arrived at Hollow on the
25th, reported extensive damage to
native craft, both vessels bringing
in fishermen whom they had res
cued from wrecked junks. There
was a tremendous sea running and
with full steam ahead only two
knots an hour could be made. At
8 o'clock in the afternoon float
ing wreck was sighted and seven
men who were clinging to the bam-
boo5 of the sails were rescued.
Later on another seven, the re-
mainder Of eleven, were, similarly
discovered and conveyed on board.
A large number dismasted junks
were sighted on the way to Hollow
and in the evening a little boy was
picked up, who said that he was
the sole survivor of a family OF
eleven. The Hanoi landed thir-
teen rescued men and the Hal
phong brought in another nine.

The Agreeable Woman.

If, as Frederick Bremen says, 'thc
great duty Of life is not to give pain, >
the wcll-schoolcd society dame is per-
forming the great duty Of life with
admirable success. She not only
does not give pain, but she bcstows
positive pleasure. Even to those who
know that her words are meant only
to smooth the passing moment, and
must rot be taken too seriously
her little 'euphuiSmS" are grateful.
Among the better class Of well-bred
people compliments are not 'laid on
with a shovel nor dragged in by
the hair" They flow easily, for they
are the result OF a lifetime Of study
to make oneself agreeable to every
BODY V, so far as one can do it within
the limits Of truth. The unfailing
aplomb Of the well-bred woman as
sists her wonderfully here. She re-
calls clearly az the first glance the
pc~culiaritieS and the circumstances
Of her visitor: she sorts out the pleas
ant from the unpleasant, and she in
variablv alludes in her remarks to
the pleasant. The transplanting,
without its luxurious eifusiveness, Of
this good custom into tine home life
and into the narrow circle of the
'Outs' could result only in good

Superior Vitality OF Insects.

The egg OF insects have greater
powers Of vitality than any others.
A case was published Of an egg pro-
ducing an insect eighty years after
it must have been laid, and the
scientist responsible for this state
ment thinks the power Of vivitication
may endure in these eggs for an in
definite period. Many eggs of insects
are exposed TO the air without any
covering, and many are sheltered too
slightly to be secure from the frost.
This. however, they are able to resist,
remaining u%nfroAen, though exposed
to the ~seNerest cold, or, still more
surprising, are uninjured by its in
tenSest action, recovering their
vitality w after having been
frozen into Jumps Of ice. On expos
ing several silk-wOrm eggs for five
hours to a freezing mixture which
made Fahrenheit's thermometer fall
to 38 degrees below zero SpollanZi
found that they were not frozen nor
their fertility in the slightest degree
impaired. Others were exposed
to Il degree OF So degrees below
zero without being injured. The
quality of the eggs Of nails is, per-
hapS, eVen more marvellous. These
eggs. if desiccatcd in Il furnace until
they are scarcely visible. will always
~egain their original bulk when
iamped, and the young will be
brought forth as though the eggs had
never been in any way interfered
with. Neither heat nor cold seems
TO have any injurious effect upon
their vitality, for they have been
frozen into ice for any length of time
and when the ice is melted will be
found to be wholly uninjured.

Ihe EniCi of Nantes.

The edict Of Nantes was a decree
issued 10y Henry ~. of France, stay

the ProtcNtants OF France. 1t was
dated April II. 1898. Henry had
