the calendar upon which we mark out
our our sense of succession is a futile

growth is in life. in fullness of CON

zone day the wife OF one Of the car
penters sent down to the mine for a
kitchen boy. When as came she asked
his name. The poor boy had heard
one expression in frequent use az the
mine. and had perhaps conceived an
exaggerated idea OF its importance
from its frequency So when she
asked him his name he calmly replied,
Dam Fool.
why, l cant call you that, said
she. Mortified. I will call you Joseph
But the boy Immediately flew into
a rage. He said Dam Fool was a
'moochlie gum Ia nice name; and
that if he could not be called that
he would not do any work. He was
so stubborn about it that she either
had to use the name or send him back
to the compound.
Eventually she kept him. She told
me afterward that sometimes il was
relief to her feelings to have a kitchen
boy who had Just that name"

Have you ever heard of urallte?
Probably not, for II IS a new inven-
ton. Vet it is well worthy OF your
notice. since il is superior to any
thing OF the kind that has yet been
produced. 1t is the invention Of a
Russian artillery oficer and chemist,
named Imschenetzky. and it's claim to
distinction lies in the fact that 1t is
absolutely fireproof
Uralite is composed OF asbestos

and it is supplied in various finishes
and colors. according to the purpose
for which 1t is intended. In a soft
form a sheet Of uralite is like an as
oestos board; when hard it resem-
hles finely sawn stone and has a me
tailic ring. Besides being a noncon-
ductor Of heat and electricity. il Is
practically water proof land may be
made entirely so by paint. and It is
not affected either by atmospheric in
huences or by the acids contained in
smoke in large towns. which rapidly
destroy galvanized iron.
Moreover, It can be cut by the usual
carpenters or woodworkers' tools; Il
can be veneered to form paneling for
walls or partitions: it can be painted,
grained. polished and glued together
like wood; it does not split when a
nail is driven through it: it is not
affected when exposed to moisture or
great changes of temperature. and it
can be given any desired color either
during the process Of manufacture o.
afterward.-Hygienic Magazine

NEW TRIBE DISCOVERED
The Women Wear Petticoats While
the Men Wear Nothing

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, April 8.-The British New
Guinea expedition, organized by Maj.
w. Cook-Daniels, has just returned to
England after an absence Of eleven
months. Several interesting discoveries
are reported.
In hitherto uneXplored region some
distance up the Bensbach river, separ-
ating Dutch and British New Guinea.
the men were found for the most part
wholly nude, but the women wore pet
ticoats. They were found to be quite
friendly and are ruled over by woman
named Kaloka, who has been recog
nized by the government as being in
authority.
Capt Barton, the administrator,
summoned a great peace durbar at
Port Moresby during the visit of the
expedition. Immense numbers of tribes
men attended, having Travelled long dis
tances in their canoes, some as far as
sixty miles. Feasting and dancing were
continuous for twenty-four hours.

LONDON, April s.-After fortnight
Of gayety in town Mrs. John Jacob
Astor has gone to Paris to spend a
couple of weeks before leaving for
Carlsbad to go through the cure. She
looks wonderfully well, but the strain
of accepting the invitations that
poured in upon her has left her over
wrought. She wishes to go to Carls-
bad before visiting Paris, but Lady
savle warned her she certainly would
need a second cure after the Paris
gayeties, SO she had better go through
them first.
She tried diet of vegetables, cheese
and bread and butter, but she wearied
of 1t after a few days, declaring that
not the finest complexion in the world
would tempt her to continue 1t. She
now confines herself to fish and white
meats, but 1t is not likely that even
this will be kept up in Paris.

Special Cable to The Herald.
BOMBAY, April s-A terrible epi-
demlc Of smallpox, in addition to the
plague, Is raging here The infection
hospitals are crowded with cases. but
the number of doctors and nurses Is
wholly lnadduate and scores Of VIC
tins are perforce left unattended. Some
idea can be drawn of the awful condi-
tlons existing in this part of India
when recent official returns showed
that the mortality from the plague
alone in the month of March reached
the enormous total of 31S,00O. OF the
whole total the United Provinces of
Agra and ouch are responsible for 5
per cent of the Punjaub for 20 per
cent.
Every obstacle Is placed in the way
of the dlsinfecton of stricken areas,
and incubation is so bitterly opposed,
both by reason of caste prejudice and
religious restrictions, that any attempt
to enforce 1t would be followed by the
gravest consequence. In the larger of
the afflicted communities some head
way Is being made in the direction of
inducing the people to temporarily
abandon their villages when shelter
can be found for them elsewhere. AS
before, the greatest mortality is among
women. This is attributed to the fact
that they spend more time in their
houses than the men and rarely wear
shoes, thus rendering themselves espe-
cally liable to the risk of contagion
from the dead and dying rats.
| In the towns the crusade against
rats is being conducted with great
vigor, and wherever funds permit a
reward is given for every rat slaugh-
tered.
