Il suppose you have never heard of
a disease called Guinea madnessP" ho
asked, and when | shook my head he
went on:
Neither had ! until Gilby told me
about it, although | am doctor. II Is
one of those strange diseases that limit
themselves luckily to Il particular dis
trict, and is only found among n few
tribes along the coast of Guinea. 1t is
generally thought that Europeans eau
not take it, but the idea is an erroneous
one, or, at any rate, there are exeep-
tions, for Lieut.. Gilby's father died of
it when my friend was n boy of 10. His
father was captain of a trading vessel
and the Lieutenant was accompanying
him on voyage when they called ut
the Guinea coast. He therefore saw his
fathet in all the indescribable agony
of the disease, which seems more like
hydrGphobia than anything else, al.
though 1t is infectious.
The sight made great impression
on him, and, since his constitution was
quite similar to his fathers, he had al-
ways suffered from an almost supernat-
ural terror of the Guinea coast He was
quite persuaded that it he ever went
ashore there he would catch the dis
ease and die like his father. Lashton,
1t seems, was aware of this monomania
of his, for it almost amounted to mono
mania"
And he had really caught the dis
easeT' l asked

Shall or Will.

The controversy going on in recent
magazine numbers, over the stylistic
defect in writing caused by the improp-
er use of "shall' and will" has been
rather confusing to the ordinary mind.
But at last they have fallen back
upon the rule given in the old school
grammar, prescribed anew by prom
inent literary critic, and which, If fol
lowed, will prevent further mishan-
ding.
l shall, thou wilt, he will, we shall,
you will, they will, expresses futurity.
l will, thou shalt, he shall, we will, you
shall, they shall, expresses yolition.
Do not write your friends, Il will be
pleased to see you" for you will there
by proclaim your literary inexperience.
Write, 81 shall be glad to see you, )"
and even if they do not detect the
nicely of your taste, the expression will
seem more euphonious and be comfort
ing to their unconscious linguistic
nerves

Peasant Life In ireland.

Professor A. G. Haddon, in a lecture
ON peasant Life and Industries Of Ire
land" said that lacemaking continued
to be practiced in some parts of Ireland,
and when trained, the Irish women
were very expert IN all kinds Of needle
work. The work of the men consisted
chiefly of agriculture, turf cutting, fish
ing and kelp burning There was very
little good soil i'll the west, and in some
places, as in the Arran islands, the soil
had actually to be made by bringing up
sand and seaweed from the shore and
strewing them on the bare rocks. The
great extent of beg land enabled the
people on the mainland to get plenty of
fuel. Fishing in Ireland was essentially
mems work, and there was an abun-
dance Of fish off the coast. Speaking
generally, the population Of the west
coast of Ireland did not produce good
fishermen.
With regard to the means of trans
port, ON which the commercial prosper
ity of country depended, he remarked
that until comparatively recently there

west of Ireland and consequently no
wheeled vehicles One of the blessings
wrested from the awful famine period
was the building Of roads, and during
later famines the same wise policy had
been continued. Itwas to be hoped that
the light railways Of the present day or
other means Of conveyance, such as au-
to cars, would give yet greater impetus
to nascent local industries and thus
materially assist toward improving the
condition of our charming fellow coun-
trymen in Irnland.-London Times.

SunHOWerS.

AS a plant the sunAower has no supe-
rior for yigor, rapid growth and pro-
life yield of seed, leaves and stalk, all
of which can be utilized. IN China a
valuable fiber, used in silk weaving, is
obtained from the stalk, and they are
of service as fuel and a source of pot
ash. The Orientals mix their tobacco
with cured suntiower leaves, and make
a yellow dye from the flowers, which
are also rich in honey and wax. The
sunfower grows riotously in the United
States, and stands all extremes of
weather well. 1t is worthy of general
cultivation.

Not Worth q Rush.

When one says of anything that it is
mot worth a straw" one means 10
imply that it is worthless. The older
saying was mot worth a rush." and
this brings out the origin Of the phrase.
In the days before carpets it was the
custom to strew the floor with rushes.
When guests of rank were entertained,
rushes, green, fresh and sweet, were
spread for them; but folk of lower de-
gree had to be content with rushes that
had already been used, while still hum
bier persons had none as not even be-
ing worth rush.

nraiI-Protected NTonarchs.

From 1885 to the time of his death
the late Car of Russia never appeared
outside his bedroom and study with
out a fine steel suit of mail, which
would protect his body from the dagger
of the assassin. Excepting his valet
and his wife nobody had seen his suit
of mall but the Cars unwillingness to
90 even to a cabinet council without it
was an open secret in all the courts of
Europe. Bismarck at one rime wore
such coat as did also Stambouloff
and Crispi. The Italian eX-premier, in
deed, still wears, for protection from
the assassin's bullet or knife, light
shirt of mail of double thickness over
the heart None of these men, how
ever, resorted to such precautions until
repeated attempts at assassination had
been made. Nicholas IL. of Russia has
waited for no such attempt on his life.
Ever since the last arrests of nihilist
students at Odessa he has worn shirt

THOUGH LOVE BE SLAIN.

Forget?-But that cannot, though you
plead
With me by Lethe's brink till close of
day;
No waves of dull oblivion, dear can wash
The mem'ry of our happy dream away.
The rose of love hath shed her velvet
leaves,
And all our life of joy is dispossessed;
Yet still | claim the sacred right to wear
The shrunk and withered blossom on
my breast.
All. say not when the silver Tyre is hush
ed,
Remember not the tune wherewith it
thrilledw
1t is our sweetest pleasure to recall
His song. when death the singers voice
has stilled.
