The Old Treatment.
In the old days pneumonia patients
were imprisoned in hot close rooms, and
all sorts Of powerful drugs were en-
ployed against the disease. Today good
nursing is known to be Of more value
than drugs The patient should be kept
bright, cheerful and clean. His face and
mouth should be washed frequently, and
care should be taken that the mucus he
expectorates is burned. for pneumonia
Ia a decidedly infectious malady, and it
Is perfectly possible for one patient to
infect whole household.
Experiments are now being made with
a new pneumonia antitoxin, but it's value
is still in doubt. There are indeed vast
technical difficulties in the way Of pro-
ducing an antitoxin for the disease as
certain in Its effect as that now used SO
successfully against diphtheria.
| The best way to protect oneself against
pneumonia Is to avoid exposure and ex-
cesses. and seek to maintain the body in
good condition by taking regular and
sufficient sleep and eating wholesome
food The man who hardens himself by
cold baths In the morning and by wear
ing rational clothes Is far less apt to
fall victim to pneumonia than the man
who battles only in hot water and wears
absurdly heavy underclothes. Sailors,
who are accustomed to a rough life.

very little fresh air, fall before 1t often.

An Eccentric's Unique Collection.

In a French country town a strange and
peculiarly useless collection is being put
I'D for sale. 1t had taken the owner an
eccentric count, just dead, years to get 1t
together. He spent the greater part of his
lifetime in buying specimens of every
known brand of cigar The collection,
numbering thousands of samples, all of
which have long since become unavoidable.
is said to be well-ngh complete. The
original prices of the now spoit cigars
must have been at least $1,000. 1t Is said
that the heirs to the estate, deSpairing OF
disposing of the collection in France, are
thinking of opening up negotiations with
the American cigar trust.
An unlucky patient, who was to be taken
to one Of the city hospitals. has had an
experience which he will long remember,
unless he should die very soon az a re-
suit of it. The ambulance in which he
was being conveyed was being drawn by
rather young horse. which SHE'D at a
railway train near the Bagnolet Viaduct.
The horse tore madly up the viaduct and
finally jumped over the wall. The shock
sustained by the unhappy patient In the
course of this race may be imagined. But
his troubles were not yet at an end. When
the horse jumped over the wall 1t re-
mained suspended by traces some yards
hung on the other side of the wall in such
way that the patient could not be re-
moved until the ambulance and the horse
were sundered. The firemen of the quarter
were called and at once proceeded to the
rescue They decided that the horse had
TO be sacrificed, and cut the traces But
TO the surprise of verybody the horse, in
stead of breaking its neck on the pave
ment below, landed on its feet and was
unnjured. The ambulance was then
righted and the patient taken more dead
than alive to the hospital.
A girl burglar has been discovered at

fession, it is alleged, robbed a wealthy
woman of large sums OF money. Some time

cupant, and leave 1t again soon after. On
the following day it was discovered that a
number of valuable articles had been

known to have lover and suspicion at
once fell on him. He was arrested, and
later the maid was also taken into custody.
The girl and her lover We're confronted by
the judge, and the man strongly denied
the charge. The maid then made a sensa-
tlonal admission She said that her lover
was not guilty. and that 1t was she herself
who had dressed up as man. blackened
her face and robbed the house She also
confessed II Is said, that this was not her
first attempt and admitted having served
previous mistresses in a similar fashion, in
one instance robbing a lady of not less

A Partisan Rames.

The police have arrested a Partisan Raj
fies, but curiously enough, he is a Raj
f1es' who knows no French.
He was arrested as he was climbing the
garden wall of villa in Yincennes. He
wore a frock coat and trousers of excellent
cut. made by a London tailor: silk hat
and gray suede gloves. He carried a cane
which. on examination, proved to be hol-
low, and to contain a complete and excel
lent outfit of burglars tools.
The man Wore suit of chain mall under
meath his welI-itting clothes, and was found
to have a lot of money on him, three loaded
revolvers and dagger. His silk hat con-
tanned an ingenious little machine for blow
ing up safes and opening difficult locks.
The mysterious burglar has refused to
give his name and address. He will answer
questions In Russian. German or English,
and the police think in him they have cap
tured the leader of a gang OF international
burglars. Some of the addresses found
in his possession seem to indicate that he
has either planned. or attempted, the rob-
berry of American milionaires.
1t is a point of honor for any one who is
anybody in France to sign illegibly. But
the worm who has to decipher hieroglyphics
is turning at last. There has been formed
a league of protest" against all illegible
handwritings and signatures, chiefly those
of government officials. The motto of the
new society is curious: 1T behooves only
a person who is infirm. or one who does not
know his own father to sign illegibly." But
of view of the Partisan. is that it is i'm
possible to decipher the name of the gen.
tleman, or perhaps lady, who signs the
leagues manifesto

Lecoq. the composer of La File de Mad
anne Angot," which every one in France
has hummed and still huns intend to ar
range some kind of a memorial of his jubi-
lee just what has not yet been determined
1t Is just fifty years since his first oper-
eta lie Docteur Miracle" was brought
out. The work had curious history, which
he tells modestly Offenbach offered prize
for the best score on a one-act libretto by
Ludovic Halevy and a forgotten writer
Battu. II had the honor says the vet
eran composer, "of coming UP top ex-aequo
with a musician who afterward became
famous-Georges Bizet His composition
was wonderful
Bizets and Locoq's operettas were played
on alternate nights. Lecoq's greatest sue
cess La File de Madame Angot," was first
heard in Brussels. The composer sadly
says that he writes no more operettas be-
cause the public in France seems to want
no more. He has made a conscientious at
tempt to keep up with the new school of
French music, but he came to the conclu
sion that it beyond him. that he could
make nothing of it, and he gave IN try
Ing.
mysterious girl has fallen into the
hands of the Paris police, who are greatly
puzzled about her She refuses to give her
right name and because she refuses the
agents of the law suspect there may be a
criminal reason for it. The girl is pretty
dark-hared. round-faced creature, under
twenty years of age apparently. and seems
to have come from the neighborhood of
Cambria. Some men saw her barge
arriving from Cambria. She had basket of
old clothes on her arm, and was about to
walk away when the men stopped her.
They asked her who she was, and when she
refused to give any explanation they es-
corted her to the nearest police station.
Here the girl at last condescended to give
her name. or at least what she says was
her name. According to her story she had
long wanted to go to Paris, and having no
money had concealed herself in the bottom
of boat which brought a cargo of logs
to Paris. and had not been seen by any
one board. The police have investi-
gated. and have discovered that she gave
false name and address at Cambria, and
they announce their intention of holding the
young woman in custody until the mystery
has been cleared up.
