AN ALGERIAN PREFERENCE.
Smallpox incubation Versus Vaccination
in French Colonies.

M. Hervieux recently drew before
the Academy of Medicine a very SOM
Der picture of the danger to which
smallpox inoculation is giving rise in
Algeria. According TO report by
NJ. Trolard, this abominable practice
is making headway more and more
among the natives. They refuse vac
cination, despite all the efforts of the
medical men, and prefer direct small
pox incubation performed by native
practitioners, who inoculate with a
lancet charged with variolous pus.
Owing to this deplorable habit, which
the French authorities try in vain to
combat, smallpox is increasing rap
idly among the Arabs, and the NOR
tality is going up, to say nothing of
the numbers of manned and blind,
who have to be looked after by the
state, while, as a final result, the COM
mercial relations of the colony are
thus imperiled. M. Hervieux ar
gued that energetic measures must
be taken, and proposed that the acad-
emy should lay down rule that inocu-
lation should be made a penal offense
punishable by fine in every French
colony. A discussion, however, took
place, NJ. Chauvel saying that the
academy could not formulate penal
laws without going outside its proper
role, which was advisory and scien-
tifc. M. Gautier considered that a
fine was an insufficient punishment,
and suggested that compulsory isola-
ton Of smallpox patients, which, be-
ing at once a kind of Imprisonment
and a valuable method Of prophylax-
is, would have greater weight in the
eyes Of the natives. Finally, the
academy left the choice of the pun
ishment to the minister concerned,
but insisted that smallpox inoculation
ought to be sternly suppressed in
French colonies.-London Lancet.

MAMMOTH SKELETONS.
Discoveries Of Scientific Interest on Is.
lands OFF British Columbia.

Two important finds of great scien-
tifc interest have been made recent
ly. Stewart Henderson, a barrister,
of Ashcroft, a few days ago found
scattered in the face of alandslide the
bones of a mammoth Of prehistoric
days. He later found where the scat
tered bones had come from, and dug
out a large part of the complete
skeleton, fossilized, Of a mammal
which measured nearly seven feet
high at the shoulders. The bones
are being shipped to the museum at
Vancouver. Another interesting
find has also been made by the crew
of the halibut steamer New England.
On the last trip, while in Virago
sound, Queen Charlotte island, sew
eral large beds of petrifed CLAIMS were
found. The clans are most peculiar,
and there are now no live shellfsh
in the vicinity. The petrifaction
seems TO have occurred suddenly, for
the CLAIMS are in various and lifelike
positions. Many have their necks
out of the shells. - San Francisco

AN UP-rO-DArE LOVE STORY
On,J Method Never Before Employed BY
Writers Of Fiction

Writers Of Fiction
l have written the only original
love story on earth. Itis in six chap
ters. Every other style has been
tried, from time to time, but never
one whose plot unfolds with a retro
grade movement like this. Here it is:
Chapter l.
When Demon Dicks confession
was made public. Algernon's good
name was cleared. Angela met him
with open arms. And so in the glad
springtime they twain were wed.
Chapter IL.
"She shall never be your bridep
hissed Demon Dick, leveling his
double-barreled bowie-knife at Al
gernon's chest. In another moment
the villain lay dead on the floor, con-
fession falling from his pocket.
Chapter III.
ooh, Algernonw moaned Angela,
81 fear lest Demon Dick may striveto
part us. Remember, he, too, loves
me, and has sworn your death" The
fair girl broke off with cry, for De-
mon Dick stood before them.
Chapter ~,
Ere the first week had passed the
tiny flower of love had sprung up in
the hearts of Algernon and Angelina.
They were betrothed. One cloud only
Obscured their joy-Angelina had an
other admirer-one Demon Dick.
Chapter V.
Inamoment AlgernOn's strong arm
had checked the runaway and lifted
out the fair occupant of the carriage,
"They call me Angela" she breathed.
Il love you." murmured he, "and |
have saved your life!"
Chapter VI.
Algernon MeSwatt was strolling
downFifth avenue one balmy spring
day, when he observed a runaway
horse dashing toward him. To the
swaying seat of the carriage clung
the fairest girl his eyes had ever seen.
In another moment he had leaped in
the path of the runaway.-N. Y.

A PRESIDENTIAL KISS.
Explanation Of the Popularity Of Loubst
Of France.

Baron Pierre de Coubertin writes
in the Century Of Emile Loubet, pres
ident of the French republic, record-
ing incidentally one Of the little oc-
currences that have made the CHIEF
executive a popular man:
What was it that Emile Loubet
did, to cause him to be 50 highly
thought of by those who gave him
their votes? If you should ask the
general public or interrogate current
opinion or the press, you would bs
answered with the commonplace
which one hears SO often in similar
cases. "Oh," they would say to you,
che didn't do anything" At the IA
nous Partisan tavern, the "Black
Cat" where all the men Of the day
are touched off in popular ballads, the
answer was somewhat different. The
refrain of a political song that met
with great success q year ago was
this: "Loubet, oh, how
much he loved his motherl" And
from stanza to stanza wefnd the good
people of Montelimar, and even the
entire French people, represented as
overcome by the affection which
Emile Loubet showed for his moth-
er, that mostrespectable peasantWom-
an, who lives in Montelimar.
The explanation Of this song is an
episode in the life Of the president,
which rebounds completely to his
honor. On the day that he entered
his native town for the first time ~
president Of the republic he saw his
mother seated on one Of the tribunes,
watching the procession pass. At
once he caused her carriage to Be
stopped, and, without the slightestr re-
gard for pomp and officialdom with
which he was surrounded, he got
out of the carriage and ran to kiss the
old lady, being unwilling to wait to
the end Of the ceremonies.
Such a spontaneity Of feeling as
this, and such simplicity Of manners.
far from shocking, were sure to gain
for him the hearts Of Frenchmen.
But by putting this little episode il
relief the ballad-naker wished to i1n-
press his hearers with the idss that
there was nothing in BE political
career Of Emile Loubel which was
more interesting to note than this
family scene.

A Curious Belief.

French peasants have belief that

the stove on the approach of storm
safety from lightning will be in
sured. Schuster shows that the Gus
tom is based on reason, as the smoke
serves as very good conductor for
carrying away electricity slowly and
safely. In 1000 cases Of damage by
lightning, 6.3 churches and s.5 mills
have been struck, but the number Of
factory chimneys was only O.3.

FIRE PANIcs.
People Who Go Temporarily Insane with
UnreasOning Fear


They were speaking of the strange
panic that seizes horses in a fire and
the difficulty of removing them from
burning buildings, remarks the New
Orleans Times-Demoerat. A veteran
officer of the department who was
one Of the group laughed grimly.
''They are really no worse than hu-
man beings" he declared. Il have
had pretty fair opportunity for OBJ
servation and, upon my word, | be-
ieve fully 25 per cent. of the intelh-
gent people Of any community have
an ingrained dread of fire that
amounts to something next door to
monomania. / don't wonder, after
what Pve seen, that the old-fashioned
pictures of eternal punishment were
so effective in filling the mournerS
bench at camp meetings. This fire
dread, or fear, or whateveryou choose
to call it, will deprive a person tenn
porarily of reason and make him just
as unmanageable as the poor horse
in the burning barn. We see exam
Piles of that sort of thing continually.
Not a great while ago, for instance,
fire started in one side Of a double
cottage in the suburbs. 1t was soon
under control and / was about to
leave the spot, when my attention
was attracted by curious uproar
coming, apparently, from the upper
story Of the next house, about 100
feet distant. 1t sounded like some
body moaning and groaning with
pain. Invent to investigate and found
stout, elderly German in an up
stairs room, rushing frantically from
one window to another and wailing:
we will all be burnt oopp Fire fear
had driven him temporarily out of
his mind. 1t took an hour or so to
quiet him and bring him to his
senses. / remember on one occasion
a fire broke out near a good-sized ho-
tel, and we thought it advisable to
arouse the sleeping guests on the side
next to the trouble. | went down
one Of the corridors for that purpose,
and / shall never forget the exepri-
ence as long as live. tried to make
it clear that there was no danger what
ever and plenty of time to pack a
Saratoga if anybody wanted to, but
that one word, fire. did the business.
There were perhaps three or four ex-
ceptions, who kept their heads on.
The others proceeded to give me a
capital imitation of the violent ward
at a lunatic asylum. Some simply
made short rushes between their
rooms and the hall, being undecided
where they would rather perish;
others threw up their windows and
yelled; Others pitched the furniture
around and shouted for the fremen
to hurry if they wanted to save any
body alive. They all seemed to have
a dread of the corridors and stairways
and preferred jumping out of their
windows to leaving quietly by the
door. 1t was the queerest and most
exasperating spectacle ever laid eyes
on, and after that l always had q
good deal of toleration for the stu.
pidity of a horse in a stable confagra-
ton. I'd like to know the opinion
of human beings entertained by ou1
own department horses"
