A CHANGE.

This week The Tell Tale Cor

management. The NEUROLOGICAL

retires after brilliant administra-
ton during which the enemy has
been met and conquered. From
the obscure realms of the Past a
new staff, consisting of four in
stead of three members, step forth
to fill the positions vacated by the
retiring editors. These are four
gentlemen, whose very names are
synonyms of glory and fame, and
there is no doubt as to the sue
cess of The Tell Tale Corner while
under their control. With these
words we now take pleasure in
introducing to you the distin-
guished gentlemen, Peter Stuy.

Andrew Lawson, a Norwegian cooper was struck on the head by falling block while at work on one of the piers of the Atlantic Transport company, New York city, on Sept. 5, 1S9S He lay like one dead in St. Vincent's hos. pital for two months. His life was despaired of, but finally he rallied and regained a part of his lost strength. Lawson is in a normal condition in every sense, with the exception that he has forgotten all about his former life and companions, and has no remem- brance of his native tongue. Try aS he will he cannot converse in the lan- guage that he learned in Norway. His wife is instrucing him as she does their four year-old boy. Lawson speaks the English language only imperfectly. The case has attracted the attention oi scientists and specialists.

BATHING IN ELECTRO LIGHT.
Painful Ailments Quickly Banlshed by
 the Heat Rays.

the Heat Rays.
 It has been found that there are many painful ailments which, when acted upon by electric heat and light rays, are completely banished from the sufferers body, says Fearson's Maga- zine. Strong electric light is thrown onto the seat of suffering; the patient basks iii bath of light apd heat, ex- periencing nothing but pleasant sensa- tions. and, in most cases an immediate and comforting sense of relief from pain Men and wamen who for years have lost control of their limbs and who have unavailingly tried every known cure, have arisen after Q course of alectric-heat baths and walked with perfect freedom. The appa aus which enables patients to bathe in electric light is extremely simple. To an ad- unstable stand are fitted two large cop per or niekel-plated reflectors, which can be moved in any direction. If a patient is lying in bed refectors are placed on either side, adjusted to the exact position for locating the rays where desired. On the refeeting sur faces are the electric lamps which ra- diate the luminous heat rays. The heat may be regulated by varying the dis tance of the refectors, or the number of lamps, or by means of a special regulator which controls the electric current. Those parts of the body, such as the armpits or shoulders, which it would be impossible to treat locally with other arrangements, are easily dealt with by the new system. When the patient is in the right position and is comfortably settled Che may be fully clothed, CT covered with blankets, without affecting the power of the rays), the current is turned on and heat and light of considerable intensity are immediately produced h a few moments the thermometer will register 300 degrees Fahrenheit. I have seen patients chatting cheerfully and ex- periencing no inconvenience, while an affected limb has been exposed to heat rays at a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It might be supposed that such a heat as this would roast limb Undoubtedly there would be evil re- suits were it not for the important fact that dry heat is employed, which evaporates precipitation as soon as t appears on the body.

The etiquette of a Russian dinner is decidedly formal When the guests are seated. the host and hostess of the feast remain standing, it being their pleasure to attend upon the company and to see that the servants do their duty. Nothing can escape their ob, ser7ation; the plate of no guest re- mains empty for a moment, nor is a wine glass ever without contents. French wines are mostly drunk at Russian dinners. Madeira is also a favorite, and bottle of port is always served to an English guest. At her own time the hostess gives the signal, and all rise from the table.

REPUBLICS ONLY IN NAME.
Eatin-American Countries Are Governes
 Upon DespotIc Lines.

Upon Despotfc Lines.
 "Only in name does republication exist in the countries of South Am. erica" says a southern business man who recently returned from tour of the Latin-Ameriean= countries. ''The Latin republics are the worst apologies for republics in the entire calendar Of free states. Affairs =tR these republics are becoming better of late, but it is the simplest thing in the world to pro- yoke a revolution. We are all familiar with the changes of government that have taken place within the last de- cade, but few understand how easy 1t has been, and still is in some of these republics, to precipitate a rebellion, turn ruler out of office, upset a gov ernment, and create general anarchy. l was in one of these republics some years ago, when a revolution, or rather an attempt at revolution, occurred, for 1t was not genuine success. I was, with friend, about to go to breakfast when party of about twenty men ap- peared in the street along which we were passing. About the same number of men came into sight from an op~ posite direction and the fun began Every man had cloak over his shoul- ders, though the weather was oppres- siyely warm, and when they sighted each other the eloaks were thrown aside eaa more brass medals, rainbow tinted ribbons, red sashes and other gorgeous insignia of something or oth- CT l never saw. They began firing at each other, and soon the street was filled with a multitude of troops and about an equal number of revolution ists. The government troops dispersed the rebels on this occasion, and when we left in the afternoon for our respec. tive locations, the same national fiagS that were flying at sunrise were stiE hanging at their staffs. It was on this occasion a bloodless and futile revolu- ton, and people went about their bust. ness on the next day with the same composure and contempt for one party or the other as they had on the day before the opera bouffe rebellion"

Attracted the Attention Of Garrick,
 Foote, Burke and Sheridan.
 Raphael, with genius at his pack, did not come to maturity so quickly, nor did Rubens, triumphant at Antwerp, hold popular applause so long; for Lawrence kept his admiring public to the last, and was something of won- der both as man and boy, says the Century. His whole career was bril- liant, yet not through intrinsic force; his art WAS successful without being great; he was honored and praised down to his grave, and yet he possessed not genius There are men who achieve popular success without genius. Lawrence was one of them. The father was a man of some birth and educa- ton, but what is called the poetic temperament, and never got on very well in the world. He was at different times a barrister without brief, an actor without part, a keeper of the White Lion inn at Devices without guests enough to make it pay. When young Lawrence was 3 years old his father made a change of base and moved into the Black Bear inn. It was here that the boy was placed upon table to recite Shakespeare for the guests. Here. also, he developed a wonderful gift Of making portraits in pastel of the passing public. A guest could have a portrait painted while he waited, and the speed of the artist was not less wonderful than his age. The duchess of Devonshire and Lord and Lady Kenyon were among his early sitters, and the record is preserved that Lady Kenyon's likeness was drawn in profile, because, as the child artist de- elared, her face was not straight. ," In short time he had attracted the attention of Garriek, Foote, Wilkes, Burke, Sheridan and Johnson. and his father began travelipg with him about the neighboring country and exhibiting him as one of the wonders ot the aga

MANY PLAQUES IN AFRICA.
Both Man and Beast Are Madg Miser-
 able by Natures Pests.


 From Ainslee's Magazine. South Af- riea exports hides. wool and mohair. and the ranchman would revel in riches were 1t not for the various pests that decimate his foeks and herds. The most deadly one is the rinderpest, cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa southward, leaving a wake of whitened bones. In travelling through Natal I saw fifty oxen lying dead about a spring, so suddenly had the disease attacked them. It was al- most impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at a restaurant. though the proprietor resented any such charge, and plethoric German travel er who called out in a loud tone for roast rinderpest" in the railroad cafe at De Aar Junction, Cape Colony, had 60 be picked up in fragments. Dr. Koch and other eminent specialists tried to stop this plague. The country is now recovering from it slowly. Another pest is the tsetse fly, an insect resembling our common house fly, but three times as large It's bite will kill a horse, COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but, strange to say, does not affect a wild animal or a human being. A less dangerous, but more troublesome. pest is the white ant, which is about one-quarter of an inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country. They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen, which sometimes reaches tke size of one inch in length This insect is particularly harassing in Rhodesia. At Buluwayo my travelling companion inadvertently left his boots on the floor after turning in at night, and he arose next morning to find the uppers carefully separated from the soles. Lucky you didn's leave your clothes on the floor" was the hotel keepers only consolation. These ants will eat through anything but metal and for that reason much of the build ing is done with corrugated iron. The anthill is one of the conspicuous land marks in travelling over South Africa
