THE SLEEPING SICKNESS.
Observations on Three Patients
 Brought From Africa to Paris.
From the London Daily Mail.

From the London Daily Mail.
 Thanks to the courtesy of pr. Wurtz l was privi'0 ~ed to be present at the | operation of the three negroes
 from the ,ko are new undergoing
 treatment in 4.aris for the terrible afflic | ton known as sleeping sickness
 Makaya, the first negro examined inthe | cheerful ward of the Hospital des Danes | Franchises al Aureuil, is a stalwart young fellow of twenty-five years of age. His skin is of dark chocolate color. but his
 lower limbs are of curious pearl gray shade. He is only in the first stage of the sickness. and as Dr. Wurtz remarked to the students standing around him. Ma kaya's case may be described as one which presents an absence of symptoms. | The patient eats well, does not suffer, and sleeps only too well.
 | At the far end of the ward, in bed l9, l was another negro from Accra, on the Gold Coast. in an advanced stage or sleep | ing sickness. When we entered he was as l wideawake as his two comrades. but after few minutes he relapsed into one of his torpid fits. The doctor spoke 10 him, but he did not hear a word, and when his black hand was lifted up above his head
  clothes His case is the worst, and he does nothing but sleep and eat.
 Between the two Is young negro called Loubangui. about F or 13 years of age, who comes from a cannibal tribe on the west coast of Africa. He had developed a ganglion or tumor at the back of the neck. and by promises of chocolate he was prevailed upon to dress and come downstairs to the operating room, where laa ren 1p fypn
 Considerable difficulty was experienced in administering an anaesthetic, for one of the peculiar results of the sleeping sickness is that it neutralizes the effects of cocaine and when the young negro had had injected more than double the amount of cocaine an ordinary patient would have required, his flesh was still so sensitive that he writhed and kicked in the liveliest fashion, ana three assist ants had to hold down his arms and legs. When asked Dr. Wentz what treat ment he proposed for cure. he told me that he was using carboic acid, on the principle recommended by Dr. Thompson in case of plague. He is also using ar senic, and hopes later to obtain special serum He added that he did not think the malady was caused by microbe, but rather by a trypanosome belonging to the same group as the parasite which attacks cattle.
 M. Emile Brampt. who brought the ne- proes to Paris, told me that he had sue ceeded in inoculating a monkey with the sleeping sickness and that after mani- festing all the symptoms observed in the human victims it died. quantity of parasites were discovered fin the blood of the monkey. and with q view to obtain ing serum for the cure of the dread sick ness experiments are being continued at the hospital on dogs. monkeys. guinea pigs, rabbits and other animals.

Highest Honors for an American Prod
 net

Continental countries still lead in the quality of their manufactured articles, because of the lower prices of raw ma teral and, the eheapness of skilled labor, On account of the latter the foreign unlimited time for the preparation of his wares, while the American manufacturer must rush things to the utmost in order to lower the cost of his goods by the saving of time in their manufacture.
 In the face of these facts, the victory of I3udweiser Beer has recently won, in a test made at the Experimental station for the Brewing Industry of Bohemia, at Prague, for hundreds of years the home of the best beers in the world is all the more remarkable.
 The chief chemist of this Bohemian gov ernment institution declares in certified diploma that "Budweiser Beer is not only very similar to the highest grades of Be- heman pale beers, but surpasses their very best beers in keeping qualities, which is of the utmost importance
 The Anheuser- Busch Brewing Assn, adhering strictly to their long established motto: Not how cheap but how good, ' exercises the greatest care in the selec- tion of the very best materials adopting the most scientific methods of brewing and agering their beers for at least four to six months. which gives them taste, flavor and maturity, the principal requi- sites of good beers.
 This great triumph for their Budweiser Is richly deserved. on the principle that quality merits reward.

HISTORY OF THE ANCHOR.
Improvements That Have Been
 Made in Its Shape.

From Science Siftings.
 The ships anchors in general use up to the beginning of the last century consist ed of a long. round iron shank, having two comparatively short straight arms or flul1es, inclined to the shank at an angle of about 40 degrees. and meeting it in somewhat sharp point at the crown In large anchors the bulky wooden stock was built up of several pieces, hooped to- gether. the whole tapering outward to the ends. especially on the aft or cable side About the beginning of the last cen- tury a clerk in the Plymouth naval yard, Pering by name suggested certain im- provements. the most, important of which was making the arms curved instead of straight. At first sight this simple change may seem of little value. but considera- tion will show that this is not the case. The holding power of an anchor depends on two principal conditions, namely, the extent of useful holding surface anc the amount of vertical penetration. The lat ter quality is necessary on account of the nature of ordinary sea bottoms. the sur face layers of which are generally less tenacious and resisting than is the ground short distance below.
 In the year 1851 chain cables began to supersede the hempen ones, with the re- suit that the long-shanked anchors hith- erto in vogue were no longer necessary, and anchors with shorter shanks and with heavier and stronger crowns grad ually came into use. In consequence of these changes, a commission was ap- pointed in the year 1888 to inquire into the holding power of anchors, and principal result of it's labors was the adoption of the so-called admiralty pat tern anchor, which continued to be used in the navy up to the year 1860 The in- vention of the steam hammer, in 1S42. made the welding of heavy masses Of iron a comparatively easy and reliable process so that from this time onward the strength of anchors fully kept pace with that of the chain cables, which had come into general use,
 A number of patents for anchors were taken out prior to the great exhibition of iS5l and, public attention having been called to the models there shown, in the following year a committee was appoint ed by the admiralty to report the qualifications of anchors of the various kinds. Practical trials were then insti- ,uted, ana. as result. Trotmans anchor took the highest place. Rodgers anchor being second on the list. Some of the tests to which the anchors were submit- ted wera of doubtful value. such. for in- stance. as facility for sweeping Now adays, however at all events for deep ships in shallow harbors. it is considered an advantage for an anchor to offer as little obstruction as possible above the ground.

From Les Annales poltiaues and liter
 aires. Translated by II. Twitchell Mad
 ison Wis.
 On the particular night of which write, the fever of au influenza prevented he from sleeping. l distinctly heard three raps on the glass door of cabinet which stood beside my bed. and in which were Iumhlea confusedly images in Saxon. porcelain and Sevres, terra cotta statutes from Tanagro and from Myrina, small hronzes, Japanese worries, Venetian glasses. Chinese cups. boxes in vernis Martin. erameied and lacquered trays in short. thousand tri1es. which l adore through fet.chism and which recall to my mind rsst hours of joy or sorrow
 The rars were light but perfectly clear and hy the gieam of the night lamp saw that little leaden soldier was try ing to set himself at liberty He soon succeeded and the glass door opened wide.
 To tell the truth I was only partially surprised. This little soldier had always had the air of a rebellous subject and
 
 had expected all sorts of impertinences on his part. He wore a blue coat faced with red; he was garde-francaise. and, as is well known that regiment is not remarkable for it's discipline
 "Hellon' I exclaimed. Couldn't you make little less noise, La Tulip, and let me rest? I am sick"
 
 Just as you see me, bourgeoise I took the Bastile a hundred years ago. l do not believe there are many leaden soldiers left who are old as I am. Good night; l am going to the review"
 La Tulip" I replied sternly. your regiment was crushed out of existence by Louis XVI. August 31, 17ss. There is no longer any review. Stay In that cab met"
 La Tulip cured his moustache and looking al me contemptuously out of the corners of his eyes replied
 What, do ycu not know that every year, on the night of the 31st of Decem- ber. while children are asleep, the grand parade of leaden soldiers de1les over the roofs among chimneys that smoke joyous. ly and from which escape the last em- bers of Christmas logs? It is d mad cavalcade in which gallops more than one headless cavalier. The ghosts of all the leaden soldiers who have perished in war rush past in an internal whirlwnd. There are many broken and twisted bayonets and the spirits of dead dolls looking Ehastly in the moonlight, look at them pass.
 This discourse left me perpexed "So La Tulip, 1t is a custom, a solemn custom Is 1t? l have an infinite respect for usage, customs, traditions legends. popular beliefs. We call thas folklore ard we make study of it that amuses us very much. l see with pleasure, La Tulip. that you are traditionist. l do not know as I ought to let you go out of that cabinet"
 Then a little bisque dalry-maid, with both her hands on her chum turned her eyes toward me in suppication, and said:
 Monsieur, do let him go. He has prom ised to marry me. He is in love with eleven thousand maidens. If he goes 1away I shall never see him again.
 Hiding her round cheeks in her apron. she wept as If her heart would break.
 La Tulip grew as red as the lapels of his coat: he could not bear scenes. and it was very disagreeable to him to hear
