Mask. for Soldier. in Warfare.

Paris Letter to London Telegraph.
Masks for soldiers engaged in warfare in
the colonies. not as a defense against the
sword or the bullet of the enemy, but as a
protection from the no less dangerous CO.
horts of fevers-such Is the original proposi-
ton which has just been submitted to the
Academy Of Medicine. 1t emanates from
DR.. Heurot, professor at the Rheims School
of Medicine, who argues that the use of this
mask would prevent the germs from pene-
trating to the lungs of the soldier engaged
in colonial warfare. who, as he Is not &C
climated, and is overworked, is much more
liable to attack from fever than other peo-
pie. In short, as he maintains, II would
place barrier between the deleterious at
mosphere and the organs of respiration.

One of the little historic banks of London
-Praeds of Fleet street-has closed its
doors, the partners with whom 1t amalga-
mated having removed to larger premises.
1t was the smallest bank within the city
limits, and, like Rogers. Gliding & Co..
nourished a poet. Mackworth Praed was,
in his way, almost as we'll known and ad-
mired as Samuel Rogers.

Rich Find In a Book.
from the London Daily News

from the London Daily News.
The custom of placing your money be-
tween the leaves of a book for safety, par
ticularly in books which are not likely to
attract much attention. and forgetting all
about it. exemplified the other day
when Turin physician came upon a treas
ure of 10000 lire. The physician had to re-
fer to book upon clinics, which was in a
bookcase in a library belonging to the family
of DR.. Giordano. who had been dead some
two years. This wonderful book contai med
some Italian Rentes and a receipt for a de-
posit at the Banca d'Italia, altogether of
the value of the above-named sum. The
papers were, of course. handed over to the
family of the late doctor.

hedge OF pink and purple candytuft on

little beds of homely flowers in the
shapes of hearts, diamonds and NAL
tese crosses.

Demaris with her arms hanging stiffly
at her sides.

"you is't."

looking embarrassed. "Ain't it nice
