from painful operation by the use of DR..

The French in Madagascar.

Statistics of the French expedition to
Madagascar show that of 1900 troops
sent to Majunga 5000 died and 5000
were sent home as invalids. This ex-
cessive mortality, it is said, arose from
lack of hygienic methods generally and
insufficient attention to procedures usu-
ally adopted to diminish sickness and
death while campaigning in highly ma
larious regions. The causes have been
summed up as follows: The average
age of the soldiers employed being too
young-that is, from 90 to 90 years of
age; the heavy weight of baggage and
accoutrements carried under fierce
sun, and insufficient medical supplies
and arrangements for the sick. Young
troops garrisoned at Tamatave were
cooped up in narrow belt of sand for
six months, four of which were the
most unhealthy of the year, harassed by
the Hovas and exhausted by incessant
trench work and fatigues, and unsup-
piled with proper nutritive rations.

It's the fad to have cold, and
coughing and sneezing are all the
rage. Almost everybody has cold,
and those who haven't are getting
there as rapidly as possible in order
to be in line. It's not unusual to
hear a conversation something like
this:
"Atchew Good evedig. Is your
code ady better2"
"Do dod a bid, I'b as hoarse as
a fog hord."
There are colds of every variety in
the winter displAy-colds plain, and
colds with frills, colds for street wear,
and those suitable for evening dress,
some lovely imported colds, and some
that are sky blue, with dark brown
trimmings. There is no monopoly on
colds, as there is an ample variety of
all kinds, and enough for everybody
to have one.

Pennsylvania has II first class
post Offices, 81 second, 1S7 third, and

Speaker Reeds smile is thus described
by New England admirer of the great

geniality. When it comes, not by gen

sometimes come, but in sudden burst
OF etfulgence, overspreading that ro-
tund, hairless countenance and dispell-
ing the shades of care, it would compel
responsive tribute from dumb brutes."
