The life of Sir William White, which We

Of telling. 1t related to the German en-

The sultan consulted with his wise men as
to how he could best please his imperial
guest. At that time, when new brooms
were sweeping very clean, the young kali
ser would not tolerate the idea of any
thing French, either in words or wines,

evening after attending a grand dinner in

The Color Cure.
From the London Glnhc

From the London Globe.
The part played by color in the treat ment
OF disease is just now attracting fresh at
tention. The success of the Italian doctors
in their employment of red in the sick room
has set some people talking about this sub
Ject as though it were a modern discovery
In fact, the discovery that color affected the
nerves and through the nerves the general
health of the body was made many years
ago; we know that Edward II. for instance
when he was Prince Edward was cured of
smallpoX-if we are to believe the court
physician-Solely by the brilliant scarlets
employed in the decoration of his bed and
the room in which the bed stood. But to
say that color. per Sc. can cure a person of
smallpox, or any other malady. is To state
what science must absolutely deny. New
ertheless IL cannot be too widely known
that success in sick nursing may depend i'm
a greater or less degree on the scheme of
coloring that obtains in the patients room
Whether scarlet or the other various
shades of red is the universal panacea we
know not but it is quite safe to say that
anything in the shade of mournful and
dyspeptic yellows and green's should not
be utilized in mnistering to a mind dis
eased. Color. in this sense. after all is only
another word for environment, and IL is
quite certain that brightness and cheerful
ness, whatever their tints, are useful fac
tors in the treatment of sickness.

A ROYAL EXILE IN MARTINIQUE.
One of the Forgotten Kings of
Africa.

From the st. James Gazette.
Though all the world has been thinking Of
Martinique. nobody seems to have remem-
bered that the stricken island is the exile
home of one of the forgotten kings Of
Africa. For eight years King Behanzin
has smoked his pipe at Martinique. though
a dethrOned king is detail in the presence
of woodworking catastrophe. and one
searches in vain for Behanzin'S name in
the kilograms The probability is only too
great that the exiled potentate has smoked
his last pipe and breathed his last threat
against Col. Dodds. Only a few months
ago he was at st. Pierre. happy
king without a kingdom, and it may be
found that Behanzin and his suite have
persisted in the cataclysm of fire which
has swept ST. Pierre off the face of the
earth.
Behanzin was King of Dahomey-the Da-
honey. that is. of yesterday. With him has
passed his ancient kingdom. one of the
seats of power in western Africa before the
coming of the white man. For go years
Dahomey fiourished. 1t is. indeed as dead
as Queen Anne, whose contemporary on
he throne of Dahomey was a man of giant
strength and talent not to be despsed.
Guadpor Trudo ruled his kingdom well, and
Dahomey ranked among the great powers
of Africa when those powers were not less
real than the powers of Europe which have
brought them 10 an emu but even Tie sOOu
example of a king does not live forever,
and a long line of cruel tyrantS followed
Guadjor Trudo, whose kingdom degener-
ated into huge stronghold of slavery and
oppression, and remained so until, fifty
years ago. France set it's foot down in Da-
honey territory. and until, in our time,
France absorbed the kingdom altogether.
The end came with almost dramatic sud-
denness. For four years Behanzin was king,
and through half this he was hunted like a
fox by the French troops. The crisis was
part of his Inheritance: already when he
succeeded to the throne in 1890 France was
knocking angrily at the gates, and one of
the kings first acts was to write to Presi-
dent Carnot entreating peace. Behanzin
was one of the troubles of President Car
not. Twice the king appealed to the presi-
dent by letter. and once Behanzin's ENJOYS
knocked at the door of the Elysee. They
knocked in vain. France had come to dis
trust Behanzin and to doubt his word The
peace concluded with him six months after
his accession was rudely broken, and the
French parliament voted 1900, 900 francs
for an expedition against him. 1t was the
kings last chance. His predecessor had
challenged France by insulting letters to
it's officials, and complaints of French mer-
chants interfering with politics at Whydah,
and France had retorted by bombarding
Whydah within forty EIGHT hours.

Meteoric Electricity.
From the Electrical Review.

FROM the Electrical review.
We now know quite accurately the nature
of lightning and the method OF production
of the enormous electrical pressure ex-
hibited by the flash. When clouds are
formed by the condensation of very minute
drops of water from the vapor in the air.
under certain conditions these drops ex-
hibit a small electrical charge AS the
drops coalesce the capacity increases less
rapidly than the quantity of charge, for the
reason that two drops OF equal size, when
they flow together, produce one of only
slightly larger diameter. and the capacity
is determined by the diameter. On this ac-
count the drops formed by the flowing to-
gether of the small mist particles long be-
fore they attain such size as to ne pre-
cipitated as rain, acquire an electrical
charge of enormous voltage, sufficient often
to leap distance of a mile through the air
This must correspond with pressures only

WHAT THE POOR SPEND.
Economical About Necessaries-Prodi-

About their necessares the poor are nat
urally very economical. but there is many
poor sweatshop worker on the East Side
of New York who pays his dollar or two
every Saturday night to go with his wife
to the Yiddish Thester. The poor man will
pay his cents for his glass of beer on Sat
urday night. Sometimes his temperament
gets away with him and he spends Tor too
many glasses. If the price OF meat went
up . cents 1t would be great misfortune
to this same man. He doesn't like to spend
cent too much for anything he has to
have, and yet ii is common thing for a
poor man to distribute pennies among his
children quite rccklessly. That is a luxury
to him. affects his mood and is spread bene-
fcially over his work.
The east side is full OF candy shops TO
the 0etriment of the stomachs OF the poor
mans children. The poor man who would
tight for an hour with "A pushcart peddIer
over the price of a banana gives his child
a cent unwisely in this case. although no
doubt IL is temperamental satisfaction to
him. OF course. there is a side to the ex-
ptnditure of the poor which is wholly bad

They who can afford to live on a big

that 1t Is only the rich who. in some WAYS.
can AFFORD To be economical. They pay less
very often. than the very poor for the neces-
sares OF life. This is strikinglv true of
coal, for instance. The dwellers in tene-
ment houses have no place To store a larg,
quantity OF coal, even il they had enough
money on hand to buy II by the ton So
they are forced to buy by the basket at a
much higher rate, thus paying from 40 to
90 cents for n hundred pounds while the
rich man, buying by the ton. pays only from
70 TO - cents hundred pounds. The rent
too, OF the very poor in the tenement houses
is, considering the accommodations afford
ed, much higher than the rent OF the we'll
to-do. And the same principle applies to
other things. The dealings of the poor are
necessarily of such miserably retail char
acter that the rate paid is commonly enor.

FROM the Electrical Review.
No doubt because OF the grandeur of the
thunderstorm. the brilliant flashes of the
lightning and the loud noise of the thunder
the large majority of the human race is
timid and nervous and stands In fear Of
lightning. Notwithstanding the common be-
lief that lightning is very dangerous. the
total number of persons killed in a given
summer in this country is extremely small
in comparison with the population. The
number also varies largely from year to
year. the last year having witnessed an I'M
usual number of deaths from this cause.
The general average seems to be about one
death to 2o0OOo of the population each sum-
mer from lightning. Thousands of people
struck by lightning have been allowed to
die for lack of attention. The rule is that
artificial respiration should be brought
about at once. The clothes should be loos-
ened and the well-known movements OF the
arms and chest made TO bring about natural
