4 DR.. Wynter Blyth, the medical officer
Of health for Marylebone, is the sworn
enemy of high game, on the perfectly
consistent ground that no valid distinc-
ton can be drawn between decomposi-
ton in the rabbit and the same process
in the hare. If one be injurious, he OBJ
served, so must be the other, and though
he does not venture to suggest the prose-
cution Of vendors of game under the SAN
itary laws, he does not hesitate to de-
scribe this culinary eccentricity as
filthy and disgusting habit" His argu-
ments, however, are double edged. Ad-
mitting that decomposing rabbit is fully
as injurious as highly favored pheasant,
we are at liberty to argue that, as the
UUusumpUIOiI VI hIS5II ( eIIIIU
lowed by toxic symptoms, the prohibi-
ton in respect Of decomposing meat gen
orally is unnecessary.
Common experience seems to show
that the products of ordinary decompo-
sition, at any rate in its earlier stage,
are destroyed or rendered inert by cook
ing; otherwise the mortality among the
disciples Of Lucullus in tho upper classes
would be phenomenal. The danger lies
presumably in the fact that decompos-
ing animal tissues afford a suitable me-
dium for the autocultivation Of bac-
terra other than those of decomposition,
the toxic products whereof may resist
the influence Of high temperature. We
are loath to believe i'll of a practice
which, if esthetically Objectionable, is
hallowed by centuries Of apparent i'm
punity.-London Medical Press.

kings anger is terrible. He smiled to
himself to see with what simple tricks
the woman thought she could appease a
mighty warrior.
The morning came, and he cried to
himself with annoyance and vexation
that Montelo and Khamsua, and the mis-
sionary as well, should have done him
between them out of SO beautiful wom-
an. If the missionary had been black
man, Langalula would have compelled
him to baptize him outright and then to
marry him properly to Malah with book
and ring in the Christian fashion. But
he knew by experience it's no use threat
ening these white men with tortures, for
threaten how you may they will not
obey you, and besides the governor would
send up troops from Cape Town, and it's
Ill fighting with the men of the governor.
So he rose in white heat Of passion.
'sMalali," he said, approaching her with
an ugly smile, ~ like you better than
any woman l ever yet saw. You please
me in everything, but you went off with
Montelo, and the missionary will not
marry me to you now have speared
him. have also speared your father,
Khamsua, because he sold you for oxen
to Montelo. want real queen, who
shall be married to me white fashion.
am becoming a Christian now and can
only have one wife, but it must not be
you, because you were sold to Montelo,
whom have slain in the battle, and
they will not marry us. So will keep
my own first wife, the earliest married,
though she is old and lean, and discard
the other ones. Come out Of the hut,
Malai, and stand in front of my war
riors.
Malai was afraid at that and would
have skulked in the corner if she dared,
but she dared not, because she she was
frightened Of Langalula. So out she
came as he told her, trembling in all her
limbs and crouching with terror. Her
knees hardly bore her. Langalula turned
to his men. He looked at her with re-
gret. She was sleek and beautiful.
"Pin her through the body to the
ground with an assegai," he said, point
ing at her, "and leave her to die in the
sum-"
After that Langalula marched back
grimly with his men to his own country.
AS soon as he reached his kraal he went
to see the missionary. He was very sub
missive.
Il repent of all my sins," he said. II
have come to be baptized. Teacher, 7
will put away all of my wives save one"

At Gaines Mill, where Gregg's First
South Carolina regiment bore the brunt
Of an assault upon a certain strong posi-
ton while moving forward at run,
young James Taylor, lad of 16, was
carrying the flag and was killed after
being shot down three times, twice ris-
ing and struggling onward with the col
ors. The third time he fell the flag was
seized by George Cotchett, and when he
in turn fell by Shubricls Hayne. Hayne
also was struck down almost immedi-
ately, and fourth lad-for none Of these
men was over 90 years old-grasped the
colors and fell mortaIly wounded across
the body Of his friend.
The fifth, Gadsden Holmes, was pierced
with no less than seven balls. The sixth
man, Dominick Spellman, more fortu-
nate, but not less brave, bore the flag
throughout the rest Of the battle. Cos

walking to and fro ana up ana Gown;
then VITA sudden movement flung her
arms around the feet of my beloved Venus
and walled, "Oh, dear, kind God, makeme
good, and make me patient, and clever,
and wise-clever and wise" She Lay
there quite still, with her head on the
marble, and I saw tear fall from the
eyes Of the lovely goddess and glisten in
the girls dull hair like moonstone.
The little gray student lifted up her head
pitifully and looked up into the sweet,
grave, but (alasI for her) sightless eyes.
81 am not beautiful like you," she
moaned pathetically, "but will be pa
tient and good"
One morning I heard a soft laugh be-
hind me, and then the Bays voice. He
passed me with tall FIR girl They
passed in front Of bust Of Socrates.
80 you don't think much of him? she
said reproachfully.
"No. Why should r. said the Boy.
"But he is philosopher and great
man." she urged.
Tho Boy looked straight into her eyes,
But he didn't know you, sweetheart,
he said, putting a strong arm round her.
"Don't you know by this time that for
me all art, all knowledge, all philosophy
is bound up in a single word-you-who
are love and philosophy and all art and
beauty incarnatc?'
There was tremulous silence for few
minutes. Only Venus and I heard the
deep, quick breaths coming from the hud-
died little figure concealed behind q pill
lar. The Boy and Il -ir girl passed
out, she leaning on his arm and looking
half roguishly, half tenderly up to him.
1t was then that l looked around for
the little gray student. She seemed
stunned. After minute she pushed
back her easel, rose to her feet and came
forward, cropping with her hands in a
blind, bewildered fashion, then fell prone
at the foot Of the Venus. And the sun
shine fickered lovingly down on the
shabby, gray linsy and the rich mosaics
on the floor.
Some one came in few hours later
and carried her away gently. She has
never returned.
No, don't blame the boy. It wasn't
anybody's fault in particular. He was
kind to her because he couldn't help it;
he was as sympathetic as the tenderest
woman, and much too good and simple
souled to play with her feelings. 1t was
just one Of those cases where nobody
knew"

Trouble with q sword.

{ A Lewiston young man who was in
Portland Saturday night found some
antique Turkish swords in a window
on Congress street, and having a love
for art bought one for ornamental
purposes and asked that the clerk do it
up in paper. Before he had gone half a
block the paper came off. The young
man was waiting for the Boston boat to
start. He carried the sword about the
streets till people began to comment
upon it. Then he hid it under his ulster
and was standing on the corner talking
when it slipped down, Striking on his toe
with the sharp point. He picked it up
again and hid it under his coat.
When he got into the theater, he was
about to be seated when he thought of
the sword under his coat. He could not
sit down until that sword came out, SO
unbuttoning the coat he held the sword
in his lap all the evening. At midnight
when he went on board the boat one of
the officers saw the sword and said, 'You
may leave your valuables with the purs-

As a matter of fact Frenchmen are
about the least democratic people in the
world in their social longings and ideals.
France is politically republic, but So
cially it keeps up most Of the character
istics Of an aristocracy. The difference
between her and America in this respect
Is prodigious In the United States it is
impossible to find man with a decora-
ton; In France it is difficult to find any
body without one. In spite of the revo-
luton titles are still maintained, and the
highest ambition of every bourgeois
would be satisfied If he could marry his
daughter to a nobleman. The Unsuitable
thirst to put on uniform Of some kind,
no matter what, has often been used as
o reproach against our Gallo friends.f

Science is pressing relentlessly on the
heels Of the microbe. The latest method
Of coping with this minute but potent
source Of disease is toliterally cast it out
of the abiding place in which it has in
stalled itself. Micro-organisms contain
substances for the most part heavier
than water, and this fact has led to the
introduction of method of separating
them from water, milk and other liquids
by centrifugal force. A speed of about
1000 revolutions minute serves to clear
large number Of microbes from the
liquid and render it limpid. Exchange.
