Treatment OF the Cssr's Consum ptivs Son.
The Grand Duke George, the cars
second son, who ever since his enforced
return through illness from his Indian
tour has been under medical treatment
for pulmonary disease, has been passing
the winter at Abbas-T uman in the eau
casus A private letter from that place
states that his imperial highness is under
going most remarkable course of treat
ment. The walls in his apartments are
bare and unpapered, the furniture is Of
plain wood or cane without upholstering
or stuff covering of any kind. and his bed
consists only of the thinnest of mat
tresses. Throughout the winter only y
very moderate fire has been kept up
while the windows of the grand dukes
rooms have been continuously open.
His attendants have suffered dread.
fully from the cold, but his medical ad.
visers hold that this low temperature is
very beneficial to their imperial patient,
as it tends to destroy the bacillus and
prevent the formation of tpbercle. They
maintain that the progress of the disease
has been arrested, and express hopes
that, if the treatment which they pre-
scribe is persevered with, the grand
duke will in two years time have COM
pletely recovered.-Pall Mall Gazette

Dreams Of Authors.

Who would imagine that the actual
sleeping dream Of an author could be
used as literary material-part of his
mental stock in trade? But this has
been 30.
They are Of little use for consecutive
narrative, although l have been told
that Mrs. Southworth derived the plots
Of some Of her stories from suggestions
Of her dreams. As rule dreams fur
nish only situations or impressions which
are likely to be both subtle and intense.
Who does not remember some haunting
melody Of his dreams whose sweetness
moved him to tears, some glimmering
landscape, some strange and weird jour
neying or faces that suddenly appeared
and as suddenly vanished in this quaint
borderland Of the mind?
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" came, it is
said, from Mr.. Stevenson's dream people,
and the intensity Of the impression pro
duced by this fantastic creation would
suggest such an origin. But no moral
sense exists in the irresponsible region
Of sleep, so that the graver and deeper
lesson which the thoughtful reader must
draw from Mr.. Stevenson's pages must
have been evolved in his waking mo-
ments.-Kate Fields Washington.

A Dogs False Teeth.

A faithful old house dog owned by
Melchoir Brown. Of Reading. is more
than dozen years old. He lost all his
teeth long time ago and had great
trouble in eating. Mr.. Brown recently
took the dog to WELL known local den
tist and had full set Of false teeth
made for the animal. which he now uses
with as much skill as any person could.
At first it required considerable watch.
ing to prevent the dog from swallowing
his grinders. but he soon grew accus-
toned to them. His master is now try.
ing to teach him to take them out and
wash them with his tongue.-Pittsburg

The wild, untamed earthquake Is a

is more terror inspiring than the

these subterranean rumblings as 20 hor-

The sounds which preceded the great
Lisbon earthquake are said to have re-

creasing in volume until it equaled the
roar of Thousand cannons." Another
popularity is the gyratory motion that
is frequently impaired to sections Of

lower quarters of the city were turned

Decorating Snowdon.

A correspondent, who apparently is
an enthusiastic Londoner, keenly alive
to the possibility of improving our met
ropolitan monuments, and is at present
on tour in North Wales, writes that
not only has great Flagstaff been erect
ed on the highest peak of Snowdon, but
q flag of extraordinary size has been
hoisted upon it. He was present at the
inauguration, and thinks that its folds
floating in the wind 'add considerable
to the majesty Of the unrivaled seem
cry"
An American traveller in Egypt once
remarked that the pyramids were very
good in their way, but would show off
the desert better if they had a coat of
paint. Snowdon has been decorated at
much less trouble and expense, and may
now be congratulated on having an i'm.
portant omission in its original design
thus satisfactorily rectihed. The Stan

The Largest Aerolite.

What is believed to be the largest
aerolite ever known to have fallen is ".
ing in the Caspian sea. q short dis
lance from the peninsula of Apsheron.
The aerolite made a terrific noise as it
rushed through the air with incredible
speed, and the white hot mass made q
light that illuminated the country and
sea about for q great distance. Those
who saw it were were struck dnmb with
CONSERVATION. When it struck the
water immense clouds Of steam arose,
and the kissing could be heard for a
great distance. Huge masses of water
were thrown upward, and the sight to
those who were not frightened was q
most beautiful one.
So enormous is the aerolite that it
projects twelve feet above the water,
and save for its fused black crust, which
gives it the appearance Of having been
vanished, it has every appearance of be-
ing one Of the usual rocky formations
met with along the coast. Scientists
are deeply interested in the phenomenon,
and number of them are making
preparations to visit the peninsula to
examine the aerolite.-Cable Letter.

A New Way to Catch Fish.

Mr.. David Pickle. of the Cuba district,
Blakely. Ca, has new mode of catch
ing fish. The plan is this: The fish are
baited for some days with a mixture of
-four and magnetized steel filings made
into stiff paste or dough. When they
begin to take the bait magnetized iron
or steel rod, coated with the same kind
of paste, is let down to them. They
soon attempt to suck the paste from it,
and in doing so stick hard and fast.
1t is not unusual for Mr.. Pickle to
haul out at one time long string or rod
OF suckers in this way. This plan of
fishing. combined with Mr.. Cal Odom's
method Of frightening or setting fire to
the fur Of raccoons and burning them
out Of the highest trees with roman
candles, is bound to revolutionize hunt
ing and fishing in this section. Atlanta

An Equine Ostrich.

herbivorous and carnivorous. That is to

A Wonderful Garnet.

There will be on view in the after
Moons of the next few days what may
probably without any exaggeration be
called the finest Persian carpet in the
world. This is the Holy Carpet of the
Mosque of Ardebil in PERSIA carpet
which for size, beauty, condition and
authenticated age is entirely unrivaled
by any known example.
The dimensions of the carpet are "a
feet inches by II feet 8 inches. The
ground of the body of the fabric is Of q
rich blue, covered with floral tracery
of exquisite delicacy and freedom Of
treatment. A center medallion of pale
yellow terminates on its outer edge In
sixteen minaret shaped points, from
which spring sixteen cartouches-four
green, four red and eight cream; and
from two of these again are, as it were,
suspended and hanging in the direction
Of the respective ends of the. carpet. two
Of the sacred lamps of the mosque. But
the most extraordinary detail of all is
the pale cream cartouche placed within
the border at the top end Of the carpet,
bearing its inwoven inscription, which
is thus translated: II have no refuge in
the world other than thy threshold.
My head has no protection other than
thy porchway. The work Of the slave

era; so that the carpet was actually in
existence, in the mosque Of the sacred
city Of the Suffavian dynasty. at the
time when Queen Elizabeth sent An
thony Jenkinson on an embassy to Shah

thus signed and dated are extremely
rare, and are historically important as

Interesting People.

"What makes q person Interestingly
It cannot be intellectual brilliancy, for
we have all known men whose minds
were stored with the best thought of the
world, yet wholly failed to interest us;
women whose brains were developed
by the widest culture, yet were unable
to appear other than dry as dust cata-
logues Of knowledge. Think Of the peo-
pie who interest you and study their
qualities, and how few you find possess
ing just the same traits.
It is all q matter of magnetic soul cur
rents possibly. Why not? We can
hardly dispute that some human bodies
convey electricity much more readily
than others. In almost any gathering
of dozen persons at least one will be
found who possesses this strange power.
the touch of whose hand can cause a
sensation like that of touching an cleo
trio battery.
Is there anything impossible in the
theory that souls have their electric cur
rents. which pass more or less freely to
and fro according to the individual pow
er as conductor? Then we have but to
assume that the person who interests rs
is one whose soul current mingles freely
with our own. This is perhaps a more
satisfactory explanation than the more
commonly received one of animal mag
netism. quality on lower plane and
infinitely less subtle in character.-Bos-

The Conductors Large Acquaintance.
when was out in Chicago at the
opening of the Worlds fair" said q
friend of mine, II had occasion to make
q call on some old acquaintance on the
West Side. The streets in that portion
of the city had many of them the bap-
tismal names of women, and as lived
there at one time the calling of them by
the car conductor sounded familiar to
me. although it seemed to puzzle an old
countryman on board, who was doubt
less visiting Chicago for the first time.
There were number of ladies among
the passengers. and as the conductor
called out Elizabeth the car stopped,
and one of them got off. A few squares
farther and there was the call Ada
followed by a stop and the exit OF an
other lady.
1.-The old countryman began to look
interested, and when the next call came.
May and he saw q lady gather up her
bundles and walk down the aisle, he had
q puzzed air. In quick succession there
came Pauline Roberta and Augusta
followed by the departure of q passen-
ger. The old man could not stand it
any longer. His eyes bulged out, and
making rush for the platform he said
in a stage whisper to the conductor.

town.

The v.lue of Military Training.

Tho value OF . Military Training.
To get the best possibilities for beauty
out Of training we must have all round
influences for good. Among these
would place first military training for
youths. l say military rather than
gymnastic or turn verein exercise. be-
cause sound drill includes something of
these and adds the moral influence of
discipline.
In my opinion it would be for the
benefit Of the country, the family and
the individual if every mothers son
were obliged to pass certain amount
Of military service before he could vote.
The military training is the only one
nowadays which teaches men to obey
and gives them any notion Of the value
Of obedience. No training makes men
20 effective for every day use or leaves
them 30 alert, prompt and full Of re-
source. The adoption Of military edu-
cation in earnest would lead to the ad-
justment Of serious questions, physical
and national.
The merely useless mechanical part of
drill which is mainly for parade pur-
poses would have to be dropped, and
useless schooling would have to be
thrown out.
A child taught to obey in tho first
place and efficiently guided in study can
master the courses Of our schools in half
the time now spent. This by the way.
The great point about military training
h that 1t enforces exercise for q pur-
pose, not merely for the sake Of exercise.
