they slipped upon the building

The Paris of the pavement. gay,
bright and celebrating, is fairly ia
miliar-to us all, but underground Paris,
dark, solitary and damp. extending for
miles, is comparatively unknown. A
part of this area is devoted to the cata-
combs-a valley of dry bones, a garden
of the dead; the rest a garden still more
vast provides for the wants, or rather
the luxuries, of the living-it is devot-
ed to mushroom culture. These subter-
ranean gardens extend for some 20
miles under the gay capital and are
from 30 feet to 100 feet beneath the
surface
1t is very difficult to obtain permits

mission is obtained it requires some
courage to avail oneself of it. for the

Fog In Photography.

One serious aud at the same time I'M
suspected source of fog in photography
is often due to the fact that the black
ing has slightly worn off the lens
mount and there is a reflection which
results in loss of brilliancy in the
negative. Constant use and endless
cleaning Of the lens in time wear the
backing off, and this should he attend
ed to and all metal parts kept well
BACKED. Where lenses are mounted in
aluminium still more care is necessary
in this respect, as, wherever in such
cases the backing wears off, white light
instead of yellow light is reflected into
tho lens.
Sometimes diaphragms Of the iris
pattern are greatly at fault in this re-.
spect. By reason of its construction the
leaves or vanes in this diaphragm are in
constant friction while being set, and
thus become polished and reflective, for
which reason some photographers avoid
having iris diaphragms in their lenses,
Notwithstanding their convenience. A
careful examination of the apparatus
will insure safety in this matter. Stops
Of the ordinary pattern become in time
little better than bare metal, especially
ut the edges of the aperture.

Walk In the Sunshine.

When the work Of the busy woman
will permit her 10 travel her two miles
In the sunshine she should surely make
the most of such priceless advantage,
for beneficial as the breathing Of plenty
of oxygen and the regular exercise of
muscle are at any time, sunshine is
tonic for mind. heart and body, which
no woman. sick or well, can afford 10
desplse.
The busy woman Of household cares
can plan to take her morning tramp
when she is out marketing for the day.
She should never delude herself, more
over, with the idea that shopping, drag
gng about from store to store, carry
ing parcels and breathing the impure
air of the average shop IS getting ex-
ercise.' 1t is only the full, free swing
out Of doors, in the pure air, that will
take her home with red cheeks and
bright eyes.
School girls should give an hour each
day to brisk walking. which will prove
far more valuable in after life than
the usual assortment of halflearned
accomplishments.

It is surprising to learn from the
highest medical authority in England
that laughter may be injurious.
Laughter in itself, says the British
Medical Journal, cannot very well kill,
but it may do harm. Hysterical girls
and boys with kindred nervous affec-
tions are often given to immoderate
laughter, which tends to increase nerv-
Gus exhaustion.
DIR. Feilohenfeld relates an instruc-
tive case in which little girl suffered
from very definite cardiac symptoms
after immoderate laughter The patient
was ID years old and had previously
been free from any sign of heart dis
ease. After laughing on and off for
nearly an hour with some companions
she suddenly felt stabbing pains in the
chest and was seized with fits of cough
ing. followed by cardiac dyspn9a, very
we'll marked Feilchenfeld believes that
the cardiac disease directly resulted
from immoderate laughing.

OUR COUNTRY.

Our thought of thee rs glad with hope.
Dear country of our love and prayer;
Thy way is down no fatal slope.
But up to frccr sun and air.
Tried rs by furnace fires. and yet
BY Gods grace only stronger made;
In future tasks before thee set
Thou shalt not lack the old-time aid.
The father sleeps, but men remain
As trne and wise and brave as they;
Why count the loss without the gain.
The best is that we have to-day.
Thy lesson all the world shall learn.
The nations at thy feet shall sit;
Earth's farthest mountain tops shall burn
With watch-iires from thine own nplt.
Great. without seeking to be great
BY frand or conquest-rich in gold,
But richer in the large estate
or virtue which thy children hold.
With peace that comes of purity,
And strength to simple justice due.
SO runs our royal dream Of thee,

o land of lands. to thee we give
Our love. our trust, our service, free;
For thee thy sons shall noble live.
And at thy need shall die for thee.

MASTlCATiON A LOST ART,
A Common Disease of the Gums Due
to 1t.

Mastication is rapidly becoming a
lost art and although we have become
hardened to the fact that three-fourths
of the dyspepsia Is due to this cause, it
might surprise some of us to know that
the early decay of the teeth and disease
of the gums are FASTENED by this same
lack of maxiliary exercise. A disease
of the gums called Riggs disease,
which is every day becoming more
common, Is caused almost entirely by
the want Of proper masticat ton.
Twenty-Five years ago this trouble
was not considered of Importance by
the dentist on account of its rare oc-
currence. To-day it is given more care
than the decay of the teeth, as he is
frequently consulted by patients who
have full set of natural teeth which
are quite loose in the jaw. Aside from
this, they are sound and healthy. After
Il certain development in the disease
nothing can be done to help them. BY
lack of exercise the blood, which should
nourish both the bones and the gums.
is not carried to the part, nor does the
blood carry sufficient material to the
teeth, hence the enamel formed is de-
fective, and early decay results. Ere
quently. too, the mechanical develop
ment of the jaw is arrested by This
same want eff motion.
Among the earlier races defects of
the jaw and teeth were almost un-
known. In examining the skulls of
thousands of Indians, early Brltons and
Chinese, not single irregularlty OF the
jaw Is found, and the teeth that are
present are sound and we'll formed.
The food which they lived on. such as
roots, herbs, corn aud uncooked meats
required good deal of chewing in
order to prepare it for the changes 10
follow, and as n result the muscles of
the jaw were dense and hard. the bones
well developed and compact, the teeth
large. regular and firm. Most of the
food among the better class of people
to-day is cooked so as to REQUIRE very
little mastication, and the consequence
is that the muscles have become fiabbv
the jaws slender, and the processes 70,
the attachment of the muscles almos
obliterated.

was singing for the salvation Of the

The managers eyebrows lifted. and
his hand shook little as he turned the

spoke-and 1t was eloquent enough
Everybody knows what happened.
When the curtain fell on the last act
of .'Francesca" the audience rose to
their feet and called for the composer
with cheers that rang through the
house.
He stood bowling amid the deafening
plaudits, waiting for the frenzy to sub
side. But that was not to be vet. The
prima donna must be recalled, and
Theo led her on once more, and they
