Picnic Day.

Are you coming to the picnic
In the wilds so fair and gay. -
Eating. drinking, sleeping, thinking
OF the joys of picnic day?
Are you coming to the picnic
In the dreamy woods to stay,
Where we spend the time in pleasure.
On that blessed picnic day?
Are you coming to the picnic.
Coming where the robins sing,
Hearing birds and children's voices
Through the woods so sweetly ringf
Soon our picnic days are over,
Soon our childish sports are DER.
And the ones we met SO often
Are the ones we meet no more.

Queer Meals in War Time.

When the Germans besieged Parish
1870 they did 1t SO thoroughly that the
inhabitants of that city were soon hard
pressed for food. Every one planted
little gardens in window boxes, quite
using up the seedmen's stocks in the
effort to raise lettuce, radishes and as
paragus, after a plan proposed by a
learned member of the academy, while
others tried to live on gelatin extract
ed from bones-another academician
scheme, which reduced some expert
menters to bones without a trace of
gelatin in them. Toward the middle
of the siege-which lasted five months
horses, dogs, cats, canary birds and
pet parrots were sold for food, and the
lions, tigers, elephants and kangaroos
from the rublic gardens brought hig!
prices at the butcher shops.
One night when even the rich had
been reduced to this sort of fare, there
was a dispute between an Englishman
and a French army officer. The for
mer maintained that nothing could be
made to take the place of good. whole-

latter held that all things could he

DIR. Lannelongue, in a recent COM
munication to the French Academy
gives the results of a rather novel Sc
ries of experiments, to determine the
effect of climate on tuberculosis, He
injected number of guinea pigs with
human tuberculosis. These were then
divided into three lots. One group
was kept in the laboratory in Paris,
another sent to the seashore and a
third into the interior. The animals
were fed and cared for in exactly the
same manner at all three stations, and
the action of the virus and progress Of
the disease carefully recorded in each
case. The experiment was repeated
several times, with some varieties of
the two outside stations. and in every
case the animals left in the laboratory
gave the best results; that is, resisted
the disease for the longest period, and
more of them remained alive at the
end Of the test. This result may be
considered to indicate either that the
climate of Paris is a good one for con-
sumption patients, or what seems
more probable. that the exposure and
excitement incident to travel and new
surroundings has an unfavorable eff

Homes for Unmarried Women.

Sweden and Norway both boast n
number of homes for unmarried wom-
en-. One OF these is especially attrac-
tive. 1t was endowed more than zoo
years ago by a man who left the bulk
of his fortune to his spinster descend
ants. The home Is managed by sal
aried trustees, and the summarized wom-
an who can prove kinship to the
founder is entitled to home there.
Each inmate has a private suite of
rooms, servants and meals. She Is
subject to no rules other than those
demanded at any first-class hotel. In
Denmark a celibacy insurance COM
pany has been organized. If the holder
of policy is unmarried at 40 she re-
eceives a life annuity. If she marries
before that time she forfeits her
premiums.

Recent reports from DR.. Sven Hedin,

strengthen the impression which his

hitherto almost unknown. are among
his discoveries. He also reports that

It Is we'll known that the sun ap-

Reimann has determined the ratio Of
the two comparing the apparent
diameter of the sun seen through a
colored glass with the apparent size
of hole in piece of pasteboard at a
distance from the eye. and finds that
the apparent diameter of the sun
on the meridian at an altitude of SIS
degrees is to it's apparent diameter at
setting as 1 to 1892. The true dia-
meter does not vary. and hence these
numbers have only physiological
meaning and show that the form Of
the celestial vault conceived by us is
that Of f1attened ellipsoid. The ap-
parent diameter of the sun is SUBJ
stantially proportional to the length
of the ray which traverses our at

the cost of raw material in the various
manufacturing centers, the price of
labor, the cost Of living and the probable
tariff of transportation to the nearest
market. By knowing these facts the
public could discuss the question of pro-
lection intelligently. The statistics bear
