AN ANCIENT LOVE-LETTER.
Tender Missive, Yellowed by Time,
Exhumed from Historic
Ruins.

Where are the SHOWS OF yester.
year|' must indeed have been asked
musingly by NJ Sauvageot, an anti.
quarian who has been digging in the
foundations of the ancient Church of
st. Peter at Montmartre, now being
restored, says Paris correspondent
Of the London Telegraph, He found
there a relic about which one might
philosophize all day, If one had time
1t is yellow, agestained letter from
the knight Jean de Gisors to fair Lady
Alice de Lisle, and he wrote it 700
years ago. Its words still burn with
white fire OF chaste passion, though
the knight and tho lady are dust, and
no one even knows who they were.
From various evidences the anti
quarian concludes that the aged love
letter dates back to the thirteenth cen
tury, and that 1t was accidentally
buried in ramparts on the site on
which the church of st. Peter now
stands. From the wording OF the let
ter ii may be supposed that Jean dc
Gisors wrote 1t on a night before q
battle, perhaps while keeping watch
on the ramparts. He clearly says that
his love for Alice de Lisle is an idea
passion, which dare never hope to bt
fulfilled. But she will never be thu
star that guides him, and, as he ma,
shortly die, he writes that he wishes
her to rest assured that his las
thought was one of chaste devotion Il
her. Alice de Lisle, presumably, neve
had that letter Possibly the knigh
Jean de Gisors was slain the next da!
on the battlements, and the touching
bit of paper was buried with him
Did Alice de Lisle mourn him, an
was she worthy of his love? Or di'
she, like Dante's Beatrice, marry some
body else and have large family?

CONSERVATIVE NEGROES.
Dealing with tuberculosis Among
the Blacks a Difficult
Problem.

Perhaps the most insistent demand
is for hospital sanatorium facilities
open TO negroes. There are some pub
lie hospitals to which a consumptive
negro may be admitted, II he is a pau
per and can be induced to entertain
the idea of hospital. But 1t is al
most impossible for a negro in the
early stages OF tuberculosis who is
able to pay a reasonable amount for
treatment, 10 find any institution open
10 him. Wards or cottages for negroes
in connection with existing hospitals
and sanitariums, II that be practica
BILE. or separate institutions, II that
be necessary. are essential prelim
inaries TO any serious attempt to deal
with this problem. writes Lilliar
Brandt. in the Southern Workman.
Then, since tuberculosis is a disease
of the cities. and since the negro II
not adapted either by his inheritance
or, as yet. by his training. to city con
IL o''h w p' ihpc'
tant 10 keep as many OF them as pos

But since there are already larg
numbers Of negroes in the cities, an
since they will continue to be attract
ed thither in spite of all the argr
ments that can be advanced agains
such attraction, conditions unde
which they live in the cities must b
improved.
Finally, 1t is necessary to teach tn
negro, as II is necessary to teach th
white man, the simple and comfortin
truth about tuberculosis; that 1t
a disease which can be avoided b
cleanliness and right living; that
can be cured II rational treatment

MAKE WAR ON cRocopILEs
Builders of Railroads in Africa Have
Exciting Sport in the
Jungles.


The building OF the bridge at Victoria
falls and the Cape to Cairo railway
has brought great many people to-
gether at this spot. where there were
previously no houses and. indeed, no
one but an occasional traveller or hunt
or Besides the birds and the butter
flies and the fish, the chief living ami
mails were lions and elephants and hip
popotamuses and crocodiles and jack
ais and hyenas.
The crocooiles were found to be so
numerous-as many as 30 being seen
together sometimes-that they had to
be killed In great numbers for the safe
ty Of the people at work. One is known
to have killed a man and q woman
and was itself only killed after 1t had
seized another man. A native woman
was taking water from the river when
the crocodile knocked her In with Its
tail, seized her in Its horrid mouth and
dragged her away.
Her husband determined to be
avenged and for several nights waited
in a canoe with loaded gun. He, too,
disappeared, and It Is thought that the
crocodile knocked him out of the canoe
and took him In its hole under the
bank.
A week later 1t got another man and
carried him to an island. Here its
victim got hold of the reeds and strong
grass and screamed with all his might
and gang of men with crowbars went
to rescue MIN. This they succeeded in
doing and also Staying the dangerous
monster.
One Of the lions killed had also filed
up the measure of its iniquity. The
scene of its depredations was a native
village north of the falls. In hut Of
reeds a woman was sitting when the
lion walked in and seized her, carrying
her away to his lair In the bush. Then
he fancied an OK In an inclosure with
olher cattle and donkeys.
The lion, failing to get into the in-
closure, so frightened the animals that
they rushed in mass from end to
end, and their weight upon the palisad-
ing broke II down. They rushed out
through the opening, which was just
what the lion wanted.
After the OK he selected a donkey
and then a sheep and then another OK.
The natives became panlc-stricken un-
I'll some white men told them they
would sit up all night for the lion and
shoot him. The lion came and got
away with another OK, for the white
men had fallen asleep. However, they
we're able to track him.
II was important that having prom
ised to kill the lion they should do so,
ior that is the secret of the white mans
power over the native-never to break
mis- word. So they set Off to the thick
brush, whittier the lions tracks led
hem. There they came upon him and
killed him with one bullet Near by
was the carcass OF an OK, and a little
farther In the bush, In sort of tunnel
Of impenetrable thorn, were the gnawed
bones-the remains of some of his for
mer victims.

THE YELLOW BIRCH wITHE
Wooden Leash Used in the Maine
Woods from the Cradle
to the Grave.

Before the days of cheap twine and
cheap wire on spools," said Bill Remick,
of Otis, Me-. relates the New York sun,
when farmer or a woodsman want
ed to fasten anything so that It would
be there when he called The neat 'me he
used a withc ! suppose that most oi the
rail fences used by the first settlers in
Maine we're held in place with yellow
birch witbes.
81 have seen them used to bale hoy.
and tie M bags of grain and splice cart
tongues. and keep grin0stoucs from
leaping out Of frames. and t. tie out
calves while feeding. and to Iasten the
names of work horses about the collars,
and to hinge the swinging part OF a
threshing fail to- the handle. and to bind
on loads at wood aud potatoes and ap-
pies and hay when they were taken to
market.
Fifty years ago a bundle OF withes
was as necessary at funeral as dead
body. All cOifns were made by the local
carpenters then. without paint or var
nish. Such articles as beCkcts were un'
known.
Instead OF having silver mounted
handles. a bundle of stout withes was
twisted about the coffin near the head
and near the foot. and when the bearers
were ready to proceed they took firm
hold of the withes and went along.
Last spring when was digging for
a den of young foxes in the old Maria.
willie burying ground came upon rot
ten coffin that had been wrapped in birch
withes for more than 10 years. The ash
boards crumbled at the touch of my
spade. The coffin plate he'd rusted SO
that | could not make out any name.
But those colled and twisted limbs OF
sapling yellow birch were still strong
enough to hold yoke of oxen.
1T seems as If those old chaps who
cleared up farms for US and then inn
poverished the soil so 1t could grow nc
crops were associated pretty intimately
with withes from the time they came
into the world until they quit 1t for goCs
The hood of the cradle was made from
yellow birch limbs woven in basket
work.
The first time and every time the
child went wrong he received an appli-
cation of yellow birch in the place where
yellow birch did most good. From early
manhood to old age withes were the most
useful and the most needful articles
about the farm, and when death stepped
in and wound up the business q sheaf OF
birch withes enwrapped the coffin and
held 1t in shape until all inside had
turned to dust"
