His Medicines and Hi. death.

A reader at the Paris Bibliotheque
Rationale has dug up the prescriptions
for medicines which were ordered to
Prince Conde in his last illness. A
consultation of three physicians pre-
scribed "a syrop made of rice, marsh
mallow roots and sugar candies" and
a blister to be applied night and morn
ing. The distinguished patient failed
to improve, and fourth doctor was
called in, who ordered two ounces of
a preparation of hyacinths to fortify
the heart and repair the exhausted
forces" followed by poppy water,
"syrop Of stag horns" 'ipecachuana,' .
"liquorice' and ''mistletoe roots" The
prince lived through this treatment for
six months, when he died, according
to the death certificate, "of the malady
from which he was suffering" II
doesn't make any difference now, bu
it is natural to hope he didn't die ot
anything worse.

How Names Grow Up.

We have become so accustomed to
rolling the proper names in our geogra-
phies over our tongues as glibly as we
do our own that few of us ever stop to
think how much of history, political,
natural and religious. is wrapped up in
few syllables. How many towns do
you know that end in "berg," "burg, y
"burgh" or borough?
Take for the first one Edinburgh, for
instance. How came it by that name
instead of Stumptown or Hardscrab-
BILE? Let us take the "burgh' out of
the name first.
"Burgh" means in England and Scot
land corporate town. All the English
towns that end in berry" "burrow, -
bury" borrow" etc, have that end
ing from "burgh" In the German il
means a castle or fortified town. Sc
much for our "burgh" Then, in Edin.
burgh. it means the castle or town Of
whom or what? Here ''Edin" is only
Edwin" shortened, and Edinburgh
the town of Edwin. Taking this one as
model, the study becomes easy ant

An odd Regiment.

In the ffties of the last century Mr..
Leveson- Cover resided in St. Peters
burg. He told this story: Opposite to
our house was drawn up regiment
called Pauloyski, formed by the EN-
peror Paul, all the men having turned
up noses and therefore resembling
him. 1t seems it was the fashion here
to compose regiments Of men who have
the same sort Of features. The emper-
or had recruits sent to him and told
them off according to their looks. What
childishness! There is one regiment Of
men all marked with the smallpox.
This Paulovski regiment did one thing
which amused me. Just before the cor
tege came up they all blew their noses
with their fingers at the word OF com
mand. and this was in order that none
of them might sneeze when the emper-
or passed, as their doing so would
bring him bad luckv'

ished he had clas-ed his arms around
the trunk of his elephant and said:
'Bundara, l have been disgraced be-
fore thousand men because you told
me what the wild elephant said. do
not believe you lied, but let us go to
the jungles and be by ourselves. If the
Goomtree is fretted and harassed, then

Three days later all were at work on

rising, but Nassik knew to an inch
how high they would come before
standing still for day and then be-
ginning to recede. Under his direc-
tions the elephants began work. Such
trees as they could uproot and such
logs as they could roll, together with
thousands of carloads of smaller stuff,
were deposited just below high water
mark. They piled banks high for five
miles. For half a mile back the forest
was stripped Of limbs and vines and
logs, and the labor was finished two
days in advance.
