ChcCkcrberry,

It was little city boy on his first WIS.,
1t to tho country, and his comments on
things unlike "what we have ut home"
were vastly amusing. He did not ask
to see 1.-THE COW which gave butter
milk" or complain Of the "thick yellow
stuff" on the top of the milk, as the
story goes concerning certain other city
visitors, but he did make many re-
marks which his entertainers will al
ways remember.
Especially did the treasures Of the
wood and field amaze him. He never
saw so many yellow flowers togethe,

with the pastlme OF making pudding

ladies from the dielytra. But one day,
while walking In the woods, he made
a discovery. He found some little CLOS
sy, reddish-green leaves, pulled them,
smelled and tasted.

A New Giraffe.

The new giraffe, the skin of which
has been carefully secured and brought

plete and whole body coloring of rich,
bright chestnut, scarcely separable by
very fine, almost invisible, lines OF
creamy white Of heXagonal and sexa-
gonal shape.

regions Of North Africa, which Is In

cousin, the markings are widely and

Is There . FIFTH Napoleon

A London letter In the New York
Press tells a sensational story about
Che late Prince Imperial Of France.
and his alleged marriage to an English
governess before he lost his life In
Africa.
In French country village, confined
in an Institution which Is half aims.
house and half school, there IL to-day o
youth who Is known rs Louis n. Moore.
Some unknown person pays $75 year
for his board. clothes. and schooling.
The boy wears garments 30 coarse and
hideous that they resemble prison
Clothes, but his features are those Of
the first Napoleon and the Prince I'm.
perial combined. A few people in En-.
gland and France do not hesitate to
say that this half.starved, half.clad
young man Is the son Of the Prince I'm.
perial by Miss Charlotte Watkins. Aft.
err his birth the Empress Eugenie
treated her son so badly that he went
to Africa. where he was butchercd by
the Zulus. NJ. Rouher, confidential
agent Of the Empress, then convinced
Miss Watkins that her marriage was
not legal, and induced her to marry
man named Moore. who was doubtless
paid for the part he played In the mat
ter.
The young Louis Is now old enough
to go out into the world ana earn his
own living. He Is kept In ignorance Of
his supposed illustrious parentage. and
his education has been confined to the
cOmraonest branches, as the unknown
persons who caused him to DO locked
up In his prison school propose to have
him trained up In some mechanical
calling. His detention, however, gives
rise to the belief that his custodians
have found out that he IL the fifth Ma
poleon, and 1t Is thought that they In.
tend to hold him and secretly give him
instruction that will fit him for the
highest station, and then bring him to
the front when the next BOnapartist
movement Is started.
1t Is very interesting story, but Eu.
genie has recently declared that there
Is not word of truth In 1t.
Another startling theory Is advanced

who maintains that the Prince Impe.
cial was either foully murdered In AZ.

An Italian Suggests that Latin Be
, Used in All Countries.
Decidedly the question Of a universal
language Of medicine is In the air.
During the last few months. says the
British Medical Journal. we have had
occasion to refer to several proposals
Of the kind. Now comes another. this
ime from Italy. DIR. T.. Vital. Of Bari.
has addressed a long letter to the 1tal-
yan Minister of Public Instruction. DIR.
Baccelli. inviting him as President Of
the international Medical Congress to
Propose to the organizing committee
hat Latin be recognized as one of the
$fficiai languages at the next (Moscow)
congress. and as the sole official Ian
Huage ut all future congresses. begin
hing with the fourth from the one held
ehis year In Rome. DIR. vitali's argu-
lment Is briefly that, while all medical
men have some smattering Of Latin.
comparatively few know any modern
language but their own. Very few un.
derstand all the languages used at con-
crosses. which hence serve to give an
idea of the tower OIL Babel. as far as
confusion OF tongues Is concerned.
However bad may be the Latin spoken
1t will always. DR.. Vital maintains,
be more ineligible than any modern
language to the largest number. and
that. after all, Is the main point. For
any one really in earnest In the matter
There need be no difficulty in acquiring
sufficient fiuency in Latin for the pur-
pose In view.
DR.. Baccelli has sent n diplomatic re.
ply to DIR. Vital's communication. in
which he promises to give the subject
proper consideration. etc. There. so
Ear as we know. the matter rests; and
1here. we imagine, II Is likely to rest.
There would unquestionably be many
advantages In the revival Of Latin as
The lingua franco OF science. nor does
The scheme involve any insuperable
difficulties. In an interesting article
in Temple Bar for August 1t Is stated
that the celebrated DIR. BoZzl Granville
when he wished to enter the English
nnvy, had some difficulty about his ex'
animation Mt Haslcr. rs none Of the
medical stan spoke any European Ian
Euage but his own. At the suggestion
Of the surgeon Of the Raven, whose
communications with his assistant had
been carried on in Latin. that language

ussed triumphantly.
Or. Vital does not refer to one prac
fical difficulty, namely. the diversity Of
pronunciation used In different coun
tries. There Is a story which may wei
be true Of British ecclesiastic WHIT

which the Holy Father excused him
