The Youngest Premier Italy Ever Had Ex-
cept Count Cavour.
When, something more than year ago,
King Humbert of Italy on the downfall Of
the ministry of the Marchese di Rudini,
summoned Giovanni Giolitti to the Quirin-
al and in the language of statecraft charged
him with the duty of forming new cabi-
net, it was said by those supposed to be in a
position to know that he was probably the
only man in Italy who could step into Ru-
dini's shoes with any chance of not being
Immediately overthrown. The prediction
proved true, though the new premier soon
had n narrow escape from overthrow, being
sustained by so narrow a majority that he
considered it unsatisfactory and appealed
to the country, which sent back a chamber
of deputies supposed to be largely in his
favor, but which proved on test vote to
be closer than was comfortable.
Nevertheless when his ministers recently
sent In their designations it looked as if the
king were still of the opinion that no one
but Giolitti could stand the assaults of the
opposition and he finally prevailed upon
his reluctant premier to reorganizc his cab
met and go on. There have been hints that
this reluctance was but assumed and that
the whole proceeding was prearranged by

Tie Virtues of Toad Broth.

According to the reports of the govern
ment hospital at Milan, broth favored with
toads, which Shakespeare described as dis.-
bolical and poisonous, is now shown to pos
sess effects not injurious, but on the con-
trary curative OF certain diseases. An Ital-
ian woman, whose husband was dying of
dropsy determined to expedite matters by
poisoning him. Accordingly she caught Il
toad, with which she made soup Instead Of
dying after swallowing the liquid, the man
completely recovered, much to his wife's
disgust. 1t seems that the skin of the toad
secretes substance, the active principle of
which is phrynin, that acts in the same way
as digitalis, which, az everybody knows, is
the remedy par excellence for dropsy orig
mating from heart disease. ii the works
Of Shakespeare are ever subjected again TO
revision, the editors will therefore have to
modify the poets remarks with regard to
the character of the toad broth brewed by
the witches in Macbeth"

Liquid and Solid Air.

From recent experiments it seems prob
able that all gases under ordinary atlnos-
pheric pressure would become liquid or
solid before reaching absolute zero. 1t is a
well known fact that after d gas has been
cooled below its critical temperature it may
be reduced to the liquid state by the aid of
external pressure. Until a few years ago
oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, air and few
other gases had never been reduced to their
critical temperatures and hence could not
be liquefied.
Air has been compressed until it was
denser than water without any trace of IL
quefaction. And so these gases were called
permanent or incoercible gases. But in 1879
Cailletet of Paris and Pictet of Geneva,
working independently and by somewhat
different methods, succeeded in reaching
the critical temperature of some of these
gases and by great pressure reduced them
to the liquid form. Since then all known
gases have been liquc1ied and the old dis
tinction of permanent and coercible gases
has been effaced

HE FIRED AT THE LIoNEss.


handing his cartridge belt to the boy, off
he started. True enough, the carcass OF
the OK had been partly eaten. He at once
looked for spoor, but the ground was too
dry and hard to receive impressions. He
then made cast around, beating through
several patches of long grass, but without
success.
At little distance to the right Of the
dead OK stood one of those large anthills
that are the subject of wondering interest
to nearly every one who sees them for the
first time. Said the boy, "Grand' 'ther, the
schellum might be behind that ant hill."l
Leisurely the old man directed his steps to-
ward the spot where he, after inspecting
the ground on three sides, was about to
give up his quest. Look into that bunch
Of tambookie grass" suggested the boy.
Turning to do SO he was met in full onset
by splendid lioness Her spring landed
her upon the old mans left shoulder, her
weight carrying him to the ground, where
she lag with her teeth set fast in the Dutch
mans shoulder. He lay prone, with his ri
fc thwartwise under his body.
The boy, seeing the old mans plight, did
not run away or set to blubbering. Not he.
Down he went on his stomach and crawled
near enough to catch hold of the rifle
which he drew away, and then looking to
see if the cartridge was all right, he took
the best aim he could at the lioness His
shot took effect through the loins Of the
beast, which half rose and snarling say
agely somewhat urnerved the lad He
withdrew u few feet farther back, where he
removed the empty shell from the rifle, and
carefully reloading took 4 second shot with
perfect success. Shot through the heart,
the animal rolled over on her side and after
tremor or two was stilled in death. BY
this time several natives from the wagon,
hearing the shots, came running up. They
made Il primitive kind of ambulance on
which they removed the wounded man to
his wagon. A doctor was sent for, and the
patient removed to the temporary hospital.
