A Eonanarte Letter.

An Italian newspaper publishes the
following characteristic letter from the
conqueror of Marengo and Austerlitz to
the celebrated actor Talma: II have
fought like lion for the republic, my
good Talma, and now she rewards me
by letting me starve I am at the end
of my resources. That wretched Au-
brey leaves me in the streets when he
could very well do something for me. /
feel capable of accomplishing more than
the Generals Santerre and Rossignol,
and there is not a soul to employ me.
You are fortunate Your fame does not
depend on any one. Two hours passed
ON the stage puts you in the presence of
the public, who rewards you with glory.
We military must strive for it on lar
ger stage, ON which we are not always
allowed to appear. Do not complain of
your position. Remain at your theater
Who knows if I shall ever appear at
mine again? I saw Monvel yesterday.
He is true friend Barras promises me
much. Will he keep his word? 1 doubt
it. Meanwhile have arrived at my last
sou. Can you favor me with few
crowns? They would be very useful to
me, and I give you my word to return
them to you from the first kingdom that
I conquer with my sword How fortu-
nate the heroes of Ariosto were! They
did not depend upon a minister of warl
Addio, always yours, Bonaparte. "

The Stnrmiest ReCinn.

In reply to the query of which is the
stormiest region of the ocean Pearson S
Weekly says: Taking the question in
the ordinary sense Of the words, this
evil distinction must be given to the
region lying about Cape Horn, or Cape
Smoke, as it is aptly and with good
reason called by mariners. 1t is true
that no storms so violent as the hurri-
canes of the West Indies, the cyclones
of the North American Atlantic coast
or the typhoons of the China seas are to
be met with here
''But, on the other hand, the waters
of Cape Horn have never been unvisited
by storms for more than week or two
at stretch within the memory of man
Standing on the outpost of the world,
Cape Horn is the meeting place of ocean
currents of very different temperatures
from the icy cold waters of the Antarctic
drift to the warmth of the Brazil and Pc
ruvian return currents The prevailing
winds are from the northwest and west,
and these coming from the warm regions
of fthe Pacific ccondenseinto thefogs which
sailors call Cape Horn blankets and
which are the sure forerunners of storms
The extremely low level to which the
glaciers of Terra del Fuego descend,
the perpetual congelation of the subsoil,
the meeting Of conflicting winds of very
different temperatures, are all direct or
indirect causes combining to make this
the most constantly stormy region Of the
world "

Human Pigs.

Poverty is no crime, but the filthy
ways and filthy lives Of many people ire
criminal, and this interpretation shOuld
be put upon the wholesale disregard of
hygienic surroundings by tho authori
ties. The man who throws dead ami
NAL into the alley is held amenable to
the laws Of tho land while the woman
who lets all sorts of filth accumulate
within her house is protected by the
door Of her house. BIT she should not be.
We will not approach the point of
eradicatinS diseases witch are eradica-
BILE until we go at the work at the right
end and in the right manner There are
human pigs, and they are not SO scarce
as to excite wonder either These must
be handled by the usual means Of abat-
ing nuisances, and if the healthy well
being of community depattls upon
housecleaning by the strong arm of the
law, why, in goodness name, let it come
to that!
There is a great problem that our age
is not likely to settle, and it relates to
the welfare of the poor, for they are
with Us always. Poverty stalks abroad
in the land, and to relieve it calls for q
new deal somewhere. This great ques-
ton the wise men who make our laws
will settle to their own but not to their
neighbors' satisfaction. But the one
fact remains undisproved, and that is
that cleanliness is less expensive than
quarantine. DR.. John A de Armand

The Ruling Passion.

He loved the winsome lass with
love none the less ardent because she
was clerk in a dry goods store, and
he had met her there behind the conn
ter when he had come in to make pur-
chases.
But she was no ordinary girl, and he
knew that if he won her as his own
it would be no easy conquest.
For weeks and weeks he had been to
see her. and for weeks he had hesitated
on the brink of proposal which IN
volved all his happiness.
Yet the girl did not seem to realize
how near she was to him, nor that any
moment might precipitate the final
question.
However, these things cannot con-
tinue forever, and one Sunday after
noon as they were walking his voice
became low and tremulous, and she
looked up shyly into his face.
Christine" he whispered, may

Certainly, George" she assented

"Will you be my wife?''

Artificial Purification of Water.

A notable example is furnished by the
city of Berlin, in the interests of public
health, in its treatment of water by ar
tifcial purification, the present system
being, as stated, the result of extensive
experiments for / 5 years past. 1t seems
that the attempt was first made to es-
tablish plan of natural filtration by
digging deep wells near the river and
lakes from which water was obtained,
and allowing the water to drain through
the soil from the source of supply to the
wells, from which it was then pumped
to the city reservoirs, but this plan was
abandoned on the fact being demon
strated that the water thus supplied re-
mained impure. Artificial filtration
was consequently substituted, the water
being filtered through sand, a large
number of filter basins meeting this re-
quirement. They are covered by roofs
of stone, earth and sod, in order to pre-
vent atmospheric contamination and the
formation of ice in cold weather as
we'll as to facilitate the frequent re-
movals of those impurities which gath
er upon the surface of the sand. The
careful examinations of the water con-
stantly made by official experts show
that, while there is small reduction in
the quantity of organic matter in the
filtered water, the important fact also
appears that there is retention OF solid
impurities and of large percentage OF
bacteria. York Tribune.
