attention to Texas fever" which, attacks

both of which have recently carried off

regnrd to malaria, DIR. Koch has determined
at what particular moment the use Of Quinine
will cure malaria, and he says that now

and can he CURED with certainly. What is
most extraordinary, however, is his theory
about the origin Of malaria. 1t looks more
and more probable that it is conveyed not
by water, air, or food, but by mosquitoes. 1t
would appear that by the staple exp"dient
of using mosquito lfets European travellers

fact that of twelve rr"ppist monks who

but by device known as the "count-
ing board" by which 500 are counted
at time. The counting board is an
clined plane, with columns the exact
width of cent, separated by copper
partitions in height exactly equal to
the thickness of the coin. The cents
are spread over this board and fall In.
to the grooves prepared for them, all
surplus coins falling off into trough.
Then the counting board is emptied
into the canvas bags, which are carted
away to be shipped to any part OF the
country.
The figures of distribution kept by
the mint are interesting, as showing
the localities where pennies are most
in use. Last year the demand for PEN

which took over 1900, 900 of them.
New York was the second largest
customer, adding 5000, 900 to her sup

with an area of about 800 square
miles. The colony, with its protec.

The scenery of Sierra Leone is said
to be very similar to that of the West
Indies. The soil is fertile and there
is an abundance of pure fresh water.
Tropical fruits grow luxuriantly.
Pineapples especially are produced
very abundantly, while bananas, plan

The Home of a Genius.

Beethoven was born in small
house in Bonn. His father had in.
herited the vice of drinking, and
often Beethoven and the younger
brother were obliged to take their
intoxicated father home. He was
never known to utter an unkind word
about the man who had made his
youth so unhappy, and he never failed
to resent it when third person spoke
uncharitably of his fathers frailty.
Young Beethoven was thus taught
many severe lesson in the hard
school of adversely. But his trials
we're not without advantage to him,
They gave to his character that 1roI

According to the Munich Jugend
there are five signs by which women
may detect the school to which a

belongs to the good old classical
school; second, if he paints the sky
blue and the grass green, he is a
realist; third, if he paints the sky
green and the grass blue he is an i'm.

self, was uttered in particularly deep
musical voice. Something quite un-
usual in its timbre arrested the atten-
ton of everybody present, who, as it
impelled by common impulse, looked
across at Mrs. Treherne, and it must
be admitted that that lady gave album
dant cause for curiosity. At the first
sound of the newcomers voice she
started violently, and stared at the
owner thereof with an expression OF
mute dismay. She made an effort to
speak, but without success, and fall
