midst our late brother, Doctor William Glib
son, who was the president of this Society for
twenty years, and whose relations 18th his
fellow practitioners and the community in
which he practiced his profession for nearly
half a century were Of such chars cter as to
render it proper that we should place on
record our appreciation ofhis eminent services
as physician and his exceptional merits as a
man, Therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death Of DIR. William
Gibson this Society has lost its most distln-
guished member, whose zeal in promoting its
welfare will always be gratefully remembered;
his high scholarly and professional attain
ments commanded our admiration ; his SINGER
ity and incorruptible integrity compelled
our esteem; and his gracious personality won
our love. The community In which he
labored so zealously for several generations
has lost one of its most useful citizens, a
Christian gentleman, skillful physician,
whose entire life was devoted to deeds Of
mercy and charity, and whose genial pres
ence and sympathetic manner will be sadly
missed in many homes.
Resolved, That these resolutions be entered
in the minutes of the Society, and that copy
be sent to the family of the deceased.

Ground Hog Day.

During the early morning hours there
seemed but little probability Of the ground
hog seeing his shadow. The wind was

forced himself from the clouds and began
to cast shadows. The little animal,
therefore, after having emerged, fastened
back to its winter quarters where it will
undergo another six weeks Information

CHAPLAIN OF THE TUILERIEs.
Former Notable in Paris Social Life
who Has Abandoned His
Odd Calling.

A singular parsonage in Paris social
life has disappeared in the person OF
ex-Mgr. Bauer, who was formerly the
brilliant chaplain of the Tuileries,
says the Paris correspondent of thS
London Chronicle. Mgr. Bauer. who
was of Jewish extraction. began life
as a stock brokers' clerk, but sudden
ly abandoned that calling and entered
the seminary of St. Sulpice. After mis-
ordination his eloquence attracted Ma
poleon ILL.,, who offered him court
chaplaincy, with the special task of
teaching the prince imperial elocution.
M Bauer drew large congregations and
on several occasions he occupied the
pulpit of Notre Dame. He accompa-
MED Empress Eugene to Egypt and
delivered a magnificent discourse at
the inaugural ceremony of the Suez
canal. During the war of 1870 M.
Bauer attended the sick and wounded
outside the walls of Paris.
In 1872 he wrote to Cardinal Guibert
Informing him that for personal rea-
sons he could no longer support the
yoke of the priesthood. Since then
he ex-prelate has been constant fire.

over his former career. On one occa-
sion he met Gen. de Galliffet on the
staircase OF the opera and gave him
punctilious military salute. The
general smiled benignantly and, rails
ing his hand, solemnly blessed the ex-
monsignore.

Smallest Mosquito of It's Glass La %

DIR. L. o. Howard. the governments
chief expert on the mosquito question,
frankly admits that one variety OF the
pestiferous insect has turned up in
New Jersey and on the islands around
the harbor of New York with which he
and all the government forces cannot

and classified as the Aedes Smith,. A
member of DIR. Towards stan named

DO THEIR OWN COOKING.
There is an Increasing Demand for
Attractive Appliances for
she Kitchen.

Very attractive and handy appli-
ances are now brought out for the
amateur cook. They are of bronze,
copper and silver plate. and each may
be mounted on its own spirit lamp or
electrical fitting, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
"Epicureanism is on the increase,
and many more people are particular
as to the preparation of their food
than formerly" said household goods
dealer. "Fastidious people who buy
the best the markets afford in food
supplies have awakened to the fact
that much of their care in this re-
gard is wasted IL the cooking be I'M
intelligently done, so we are selling
more and more of these individual
cooking appliances.
Many settled people. particularly,
amuse themselves by amateur cook
ing. The health culture propaganda
has also been stimulus to the anna
teur cook. Food eaten under proper
conditions will obviate the need OF
medicines or curatiyes and add to
physical exhilaration. good looks, etc.
These theories are getting strongly
impressed on the public mind. and par
ticularly on those folks who are able
to indulge themselves. to experiment
in the matter and make permanent
progress.
They secure food supplies OF the
best grade and then seek for appli-
ances by which they can supervise
the cooking with least inconvenience,
and so get the full profit of the invest
ment The cooking schools have tend
ed also to make people recognize the
value OF delicate cookery applied to q
good grade of food. Slowly but surely
their maxims are being exemplitied."

HoT-WATER FISH.
Curious Species Found In the Boiling
Lake OF Amatitlan In Guatemala
Other Instances.

NJ Marcellin Pellet, French writer,
who has recently returned from Guate-
mala. describes a curious species of
fish, the Pacilia dorri. which he found in
the boiling lake Of Amatitlan 1t pass
es its days literally in continual hot
water" SO hot is the water of this lake
that 1t is said to thrust ones hand In
it means scalded fingers. Ebullition is,
however. somewhat tempered. says the
New York Herald. as the really boiling
water rises to the surface, leaving a
temperature OF 35 degrees centigrade at
the level. where the fish are found, which
is even then sufficiently warm for cold
blooded creatures like fish.
Frank auckland states In one of his
works that the naturalist Brossonnet
found by experiments tkat some fresh
water fish would live several days in
water so hot that human being could
not keep his hand in 1t for minute.
DR. Saussure, the Swiss scientist, dis
covered living cells In the hot springs of
AK. the temperature OF which averages
113 degrees Fahrenheit. Humboldt also
saw living fish thrown up in volcano

A NEW FOOD PLANT.
Curious Growth of Uganda Recently
Discovered by a Gomez
Grower.

There have recently been imported
into England specimens of the 'glycine
subtsrranea." plant which is in some
respects the most curious in the world,
Ieporss London paper. Mrs Balland,
who has reported on it. says that its
roots contain every principle necessary
for human food. The plant was dis
covered by coffee grower in Uganda.
Its bulb is shaped like an egg. and is
of a dark red hue with black stripes.
1t is ground into a flour which tastes
like chestnuts. Two pounds of this
flour Is sufficient to keep a man for a
day, and will supply the place of bread
meat. butter and vegetables. Unfor-
tunately, the glycine win not flourish
in cold climates. 1t is, however. to be
introduce, in India and Brazil, where
it should prove an enormous addition
to the food plants there available. No
doubt its finder will make a very good
thing Of his discovery.

STIMULUS TO INDUSTRY.
Prize to Artisans WAC Are
steady and SOBER

The governor of the state OF Mexico
has founded an annl<1 pl re OF $500 to
be awarded to the artisan who during
the year has most distinguished him
self for his industry and sobriety and
for the prompt and unvarying attend
ance at his daily tasks, especially on the
mornings following Sundays and gem
orally observed feast days. The initia-
tive of Gov. Villada, says the Mexican
Herald, will have good effect in slim
ulating useful emulation among the
working class of the state of Mexico,
which has always been to the fore, es-
pecially during the regime of the pres
ent governor, in industrial and eduea-
tional progress.
Not long ago the press noticed with
merited commentator the establish
ment. under Gen. Villada's auspices, of
place of innocent recreation for the
working class at Toluca. This is prac-
tical philanthropy. The working class,
where 1t sees that an intelligent inter-
est Is being taken in its welfare, will
demonstrate its appreciation by closer
attention to work. The example Of the
public-spirited executive of the state OF
Mexico is worthy of imitation.

THE PoPES AND TOBACCO.
Heads of the Catholic Church who
Prescribed the Weed and Those
who Used 1t.

It is we'll known that Pope Leo was
for years an inveterate snuff taker
The times have changed since Urban
VIII, and Innocent v. vigorously pro-
scribed tobacco. the former pope go
ing SO far as to threaten to excom-
municate anyone who might take a
pinch of snuff within the precincts of
the vatican. The brief issued by In
nocent X. on the LIST of February,
1850. against the use of tobacco was
abrogated on the 10th of January.
It's. by Benedict XIII. for very good
and sufficient reasons. For, like Leo
Kill. Benedict XIII. took SNUFF in
large quantities. and he could not
give his sanction to an act which was
violated daily by his own example.
From that time until the present day
the popes have remained silent on the
subject of tobacco, but their personal
habits seem to favor the use of the
fragrant Virginia weed. In addition
to the snuff-taking popes, it is well
known that Plus TX. used to smoke
in mis- private study and in the more
secluded parts of the vatican gar
dens.
