King Gustavus Ill of Sweden had
been frequently invited to the little
court of Schwerin. In 1888 he paid a
visit to Germany and as soon as the
Duchess of Mecklenburg heard of his
approach she prepared fetes in his
honor. But Gustavus, who disdained
the petty courts Of the small rulers,
sent two Of his attendants-a page
named Peyron, and Desyouges, a valet
who had formerly been an actor-to be
entertained by the duchess. The two
personated the king and his minister,
Baron Spare, and sustained the char
acters throughout. They accepted as
their due all the homage meant for
their master, danced with the Mecklen-
burg ladies who were presented to
them, and Peyron went so far as to
ask one of the ladies for her portrait

The color OF Tie sky at particular
times affords wonderfully good guide
to the weather to be expected within
the coming twenty-four hours. Not
only does a rosy sunset presage good
weather and ruddy sunset bad
weather, but bright yellow sky in
the evening indicates wind; a pale
yellow rain. If in the morning the
sky is of neutral gray color, the
indications for good day may be
considered favorable. Generally
speaking, it may be said that any

tokens either wind or rain.

FILARIA is A NEW DISEASE.
Responsible for the Death Of Many
American Soldiers,

American Soldiers.
Capt. Charles Kieeffer, a United
States army surgeon, says the Phil
ippines are infested with mosquitoes
more troublesome and dangerous from
a medical point of view than those
that swarm in the Jersey swamps. A
strange malady known as filaria is
traced directly to them, and is COM
mon among the American soldiers
quartered on the islands. Soldiers
contract tGe disease by drinking
water from stagnant pools in which
the MOSQUITOES have laid their eggs.
The first indication of filaria ap-
pears in the form of worm in the
victims thorax This develops into
elephantiasis, which causes the pa
tient terrible pains, accompanied by
constant cough. The sufferer is
worst at night, and the patient be-
comes prey to insomnia
The only remedy lies in an opera
ton, which in itself is dangerous and
rarely successful. If the worm, which
is female, is injured and dies
through the operation, its poison gets
into the blood, the disease is increased
a thousandfold and the chances Of re-
covery are small.
