Count Stiram of Paris has, like all
well-bred Frenchmen, a horror of i'm
moderate drinking. In course OF his
recent visit to Newport, he said:
II thought, till I went to England,
that all the English hard drinkers, the
four or five bottle men, had died Off
had been killed off by their own pota-
tions. even thought that such men,
perhaps, had never existed in the
flesh, but only in the imaginations OF
Fielding, Smollett, Lever and the 9TH

Tn England, though, I was unde-
ceived. In an inland English county

Grant Dexter in his book on

habitants of the higher attitudes, even
under the tropical sun, this may be
true; for as we ascend the tempera-
ture lessons about degree ever 270
feet on an average, and even at the
climate. The most favorable tem-
perature for health, which carries
with it an, aggressive energy which
leads and which has led the world
march Of civilization, is about IS de-
grees, on an average, and this is
found iq the temperate zones. From
there have come the Drawn and brain

During the London fogs and on
days when the weather Is particular

those in charge that the percentage of
error increases many fold during such
climatic conditions, and that it is
money in pocket to yield to them. The
same necessity for cessation of Ger

of weather" is recognized by the larg-
er banking institutions in New York
and the 9TH er eastern cities.

persons in their charge varied so
markedly with the. meteorological

that; the rela between the weather

tions of the weather tended to be the
most productive of emotional abnor-
malities, no satisfactory answer could

A Terrible Price for Fame.

An engineer named Knorr, a Ger.
man who has become a naturalized
Russian, built four of the great
bridges on the Trans-Siberian railway,
including the big Yenisei and Obi
bridges, which cost, respectively
$2,300,0Q0 and $2,O00,000. They$were
great engineering feats. and brought
him international fame in his profess
sion
He had five daughters, who were
famous in Russia for their beauty.
and whom he loved dearly. Just after
his first great bridge was completed,
one of them died; and as each of his
three succeeding bridges was built,
another died. There seemed to be-: a
fatality in it.
He would not build a fifth bridge,
and now all his fame and wealth are
worth nothing to him, for he has nev-
er recovered from the shock of losing
his dearly-loved children.

"a White elephant is q term that

I. :. White elephant is an error "a mis-
translation ' Sin pyu' is the Burmese
phrase that has been translated white
elephant, but sin pyu' means light, a.
blonde elephant. Sin means elephant,
:pyu means paler, or hghter-hued, than
the average. ~ !
~ "On account of this error everybody
was disappointed when a sin pyu was
brought to America by Barnum. The
people expected to see white in
stead of a blonde elephant. They
looked for an animal with skin like
a white rose petal. ~ 49, -
I "a sin pyu is a light brownish red,
with pink eyes, and with the nails
and the interior of the ears and trunk
white. It is thought to be sacred, and
is worshiped like a god. - ..
When they catch a sin pyu they
tie him with ropes of silk, and he is
tanned by priests. After his tanning
they, build a palace for him, and they
put gold crown on his forehead, and
they make him a wardrobe of silk
and velvet and gold embroidery, such
as princes wear.
''The sin pyu's house is built of rare
woods, and it abounds in gliding. in
carvings, and in silken banners. The
sin pyu has a prime minister, hun
dred slaves, nine priests and corps
de ballet. He never lives long. The
luxuries heaped upon him soon crowd
him into the grave.

With every year it becomes more
and more certain that by the year
1900 no ecclesiastical organization
now existing in America will retain
it's present form. This statement was
made as early as the year 1870, by the
distinguished president of Brown
university. Thirty years have more

seemed somewhat startling.-Interna-
