Disliked the GOyerness.

This story Of a young man who is to
become consort tc queen is too good
not to be repeated: Duke Henry of
MecklenburgSchw who, fifteen
years ago, was visiting some female
cousins of the ducal house, had taken a
violent dislike to the lady governess, who
objected to his rather free and easy man.
ners with her noble pupils-tomboys
themselves and difficult to Keep in order.
One Sunday morning the children start
ed with her in char-a-bancs to drive to
the little church. situated few miles
away from the castle. The governess
was on the front seat with the two
young countesses and Master Henry in
stalled on the back seat. More than
once she felt as if something queer was
going on behind her, but when She looked
around the boy was stiff and solemn,
and looking the other way. At last the
party reached the church, in front OF
which little crowd of noble neghbors
and peasants had assembled. Henry
jumped out first and CALAMITY offered his
hand to the governess. She thought this
unwonted politeness rather strange, but
on jumping out her skirt and one or two
petticoats fell at her feet, where they
softly arrayed themselves in sort of
cheese, from which she emerged a little
more dressed than "Aphrodite leaving
bath" On the morrow, Henry Won
Mecklenburg-Schwe was sent home
with the brand of shame upon him.

Edwin p. Seaver Of Boston writes as
follows to the New York Sun: AS IL sum-
mer resident of Princetown l was in
terested in your remarks yesterday about
Plymouth and Provincetown as the first
landing place Of the Pilgrims You ask
your readers to remember when they GO
to Puddle Dock lat Plymouth and '"have
thrill and that thrill belongs to Prov
incetown, which still awaits monument
to commemorate the first landing place
of the Pilgrims" Your readers will be
glad to know that Provincetovn had an
appropriate monument, erected FIVE or
more years ago by the Commonwealth
Of Massachusetts. 1t is large granite
block standing in front of the town hall,
bearing two bronze tablets, one on the
front side representing the Pilgrims in
the cabin of the Mayflower in the act of
signing the celebrated Compact or Con-
stitution Of Government, the text OF
which is given underneath in letters of
bronze, and the one on the reverse side
bearing the names of the signers. Hun
dreds of modern pilgrims visit this monu-
ment every summer and doubtless have
a thrilp' ut the proper place.

The Toronto Mail and Empire credits
"a Quebec expert" with the following
story: Action was taken in the supe-
rior court by poor widow against mu-
nicipal corporation, for damages for the
death of her husband, caused, as she al
legged, by the fault of the corporation.
The superior court judge dismissed the
action. Plaintiff appealed to the court of
review in Montreal, and the three judges
of that court unanimously reversed the
Judgment and condemned the defendant
to pay $4,000 and costs. The corpora
ton then appealed to the court of queen S
bench, and the five judges of that court
unanimously confirmed the judgment OF
the court of reviews. The corporation
then appealed to the Supreme court at
Ottawa, and the FIVE judges of this court
unanimously reversed the judgments of
the court of review and of the court of
queens bench, and, affirming the judg.
ment of the first judge, dismissed the ac-
ton with costs against the plaintiff; Sc
that this unfortunate woman, with eight
judges in her favor and only six against
her, finally lost her case. The laws I'm.
certainty was never better illustrated"

Rattlesnake Poison Cures LeprOsy.

DR.. Adolph Mercondes de Moura IF St.
Paulo (Brazils) contributes a paper on
the application of rattlesnake poison to
the cure of leprosy to the German Medi.
cal Weekly Journal.
This poison has been used for long
period by the natives for the treatment OF
skin diseases and even leprosy: Many
wonderful cures Of lepers through rattle
snake bites having been reported to him.
DR.. de Moura set himself to make inves.
LEGATIONS.
He experimental with the poison on
fifteen lepers. and he has come to thu
conclusion that the lepra tuberculosa il
not complicated with another disease is
durable by it's means.
The publication of Dr. de Moura's pa.
per has aroused much interest in the
matter in medical circles.
Prof. Levin of Berlin discusses t1c
subject in the same number of the Week
ly journal. While ne contends from "a
priori' considerations that the rattle
snake poison is not a true antidote. never
theless he admits that it may have a
temporary effect on the disease, and con.
siders the matter worthy of investigation

United States. There are two tracts OF
land, widely separated-one containing
ten and the other sixteen acres-and the
farm is known as the Spring Lake fish
cry. There are now 100000 goldfish on
the two tracts. The breeding ponds are
protected from the cold winds by high
embankments, this being the only shell

cept when handled. The small fish are
similar to those of any other variety
They have no peculiar marks, being of a
slvery-gray color. In some instances
they do not change color at ALL Most
of them, however, become very dark, and
as they develop they take on the beau
tiful coloring which makes them valua-

and as they grow are transferred to the
other. They are fed alike, being given
toasted bread crumbs two or three times

The authorities of the British museum
have recently secured the exhaustive col
lection Of 10000 moths from western
China, which formed part of the collec-
ton Of the late J. H. Leach, and is the
finest collection Of lepidoptera in the
world. The museum paid 5000 for the
right to choose what they desire from the
collection, which will be about 1900
specimens. Mr.. Leach had specimens OF
several moths not to be found in any 9th
err collection extant. Sir George Hamp,
son, Bart, who classified the moths OF
India for the Indian government some
years ago, will make the choice and ar
range them in the present British mu-
scum collection. The work will occupy
about twelve months.

Paint was Wet.

The bishop of Norwich has perhaps
more stories told Of him than most bish-
ops, says London NJ. A. P. On one occa-
sion he was to hold a confirmation at a
small town and, arriving some time be-
fore the hour for service; took stroll:
His steps led him to the outskirts of the
town and, passing a picturesque cottage,
he stopped to admire it. A pretty little
road, finished off with neat hedge and
"Oh, please, SIR" said a voice from the
other side of the hedge, would you open
the gate for meg
This the bishop at once did. Then, to
his surprise, instead of the tiny child he
had expected, there stepped forth a girl
quite big enough to have opened the gate
for herself

yourself?'

Dispute Lasted Over 200 Years.

The continuity Of history is curiously
illustrated by the award which was COM
municated on Saturday by the Swiss gov
eminent to the representatives of the
French and the Brazilian governments
in regard to the frontier dispute to the
north of the vast estuary of the Ana
IONS. A dispute that has lasted in vari-
GUS forms and under different govern
ments for more than two centuries is
brought at last to an end. What the
shades of Louis XIV. and of his P0rtu-
guese cotemporary would think Of the
litigation and of the tribunal it would,
says the Times, be hard to say. At the
republic was as uncomfortable as a Bra
lillian republic, and it was perhaps even
more incredible than either that among
the Swiss mountaineers governmen.

most powerful nations would be willing

Not until the tWenty-second day did the
sun appear, and then was reused by i

when l hurried up I found the men

my surprise, there were two suns in evil
