was far too courteous to say that some
body had taken it. He didn't even say
II was gone. He merely looked at the
terra Gotta tile and cheEshed regrets.
It was raining, and he had no umbrel-

him and OWNED his trouble.

asked. "Oh, that's too bad! You
mustn't think Of going out without

welcome to it, perfectly welcome"
And the grateful Mr.. Culpepper
stepped out and unrolled an umbrella

Frances Last Stronghold.

A report of uncertain origin which
obtained currency a few days ago at
tributed to the United States the i'll
tention OF purchasing and to France
the intention Of selling the small group
of islands off the coast of Newfound-
land known as st. Pierre and MiQuelon.
Our Paris correspondent was able to
send us the assurance that the report
was absolutely devoid Of foundation.
The islands have q certain material
value for France. But from the purely
commercial point Of view their value to
our neighbors cannot be very great.
Their total area Is only ninety-three
square miles, and according to the last
census the population was only 1882, OF
whom only 400 are permanent resi-
dents, the balance being made up Of q
floating population Of officials, gen.
darmes and fishermen. Practically no
vegetation exists on the barren, rocky
surface of the islands.
This little group of rocky Islands, set
in the northern sea, is the sole remain
ing relic of the once great empire which
France possessed on the North Ameri-
can contnent.-London Post.

Silver and Wounds.

DR.. Reboul has made use with excel
lent results of a sheet of silver leaf In
dressing wounds and alterations. The
silver sticks closely to the surface Of
the wounded or diseased tissue and a
small quantity OF cotton soaked In col
lodion Is sufficient to keep it in place.
When the wound Is fresh It heals
quickly without Inflammation or sup
puration. A perfect cicatrization of
liberated cancer of the skin has been
attained by this means.
The antiseptic properties Of silver
are not popularly known. Some years
ago DR.. Rollin of Lyons, in cultivating
microbes IN q bouillon which he had
placed in a silver cup, found that the
microbes perished and at the end Of a
few hours completely disappeared, and
the fact was all the more remarkable
as the same microbes multiplied when
placed in another vessel. Pursuing bis
Investigations, DR.. Rollin analyzed the
bouillon which was contained In the
silver vessel and found therein a very
small trace of silver, which infinitely
small quantity had rendered the bouil
lon antlseptic.
