the officers attempted to lead hiSa away
he was pouncetl upon and badly beaten

The attempted assassination occurred
in the colonnaded entrance to the Pam
theon, just as Dreyfus was passing the
press seats. The major was walking
immediately behind President Armand
Fsdieres.
The attack on the life of Dreyfus fol-
lowed a night of excitement in which
the widest demonstrations were made
by the anti-Semitic party. In incen-
diary speeches, by parade. and through
newspaper extras the rioters protest
ed against the glorification of lola, the
man who forced the yindication of
Dreyfus. Denunciations of the govern

Ing in the papers of the rule that all
married women shall be called Mrs"
and all unmarried women Miss" no
matter what their ages may be. They
point out the fact that a boy. who is
Master in his early life becomes
Mr. by the mere lapse of time,
whether he marries or not; but that a
girl, who begins as Miss" continues
to be Miss until she marries.
This was not always the case. as
the curious may discover by looking up
the history of Miss" Mrs" and
Mistress" The Englishwomen main
tain that the title by which they are
called, as spinsters, is not conducive
to the Difference which is accorded to
married women, and which they de
mand for themselves. The remedy
they propose-that all women be called
Mrs" after reaching the age of TO-
would be of doubtful efficacy. Men
would go on calling their women ac-
quaintances Miss until they received
what the newspapers call Official no
tice that the age limit was passed.

In 1920 an attempt was made In Bos-

and to establish schools where the
process could be taught to the poor.
1t was recommended that twenty spin

town for the use of children sent from
the almshouse, and premium allowed

linen spun and woven.
In 1747 a society was organized for
the encouragement of the industry. and
the fourth anniversary was publicly
celebrated.

CONVERTED cANN1BAL RACE.

Result of One Missienary's Work
Among Man-Eaters of Apaing.
Some people assert, and, perhaps,
believe, that there is no such thing as
disinterested benevolence. But the his
tory of the world contains very many
proofs to the contrary. There Is case
Of recent occurrence that ought to set
tie the question for all time to come,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Fifty-ive years ago Hiram Bingham
was graduated from Yale, being one
of the class Of 1853, which has made
itself felt in the world to an unusual
degree He was born in Honolulu and
his parents were among the mission
aries who changed nation Of canni-
balls into decent Christian people in
an Incredibly short time. The son was
chip Of the old block and sought a
field where he could follow the exam
pie OF his illustrious father.

This man and his young wife went
there in 1857 and settled down to see
what could be done for them. The
jewellers in Apaing, the island they Sc
lected, were 10000 in number, and
were sullen, cruel and treacherous
lot, fond Of var, and also Of eating
their prisoners. -
Mr. Bingham first reduced their glib
hnricb 70 n fopr;hia and xx,rfffay, for,,n
and then gradually taught them in
that language, and, by daily example,
the ways Of civilization and religion.
He and his wife wrote various books
for their use and instruction, includ-
ing complete dictionary, and won
their love and confidence.
More than this, many of them be-
came teachers and missionaries them
selves to their people and nearly all
the inhabitants of that large island be-
came and are completely and radically
changed All their heathenish customs
and beliefs are gone and they are as
happy and contented race as they
formerly were wretched and useless.
Recently they celebrated the semi
centennial of their reformation, and
among other interesting events they
prepared and sent to Mr.. Bingham a
touching and affecting tribute of their
appreciation of the man who had res
cued them out of sense of duty alone.
His long residence In that unhealthy
climate had bloken him down, so that
he was compelled to return to Homo
lulu, where he still lives in the happy
consciousness of having well served his
Master and his fellow-men, but with

Flights Of BelI AeropIane.

Several trials of the new tetrahedron
aeroplare have been conducted by f. W.
Baldwin at Hammondsport, n. Y, under
the direction of its inventor, DIR. Alex
ander Graham Bell. On the first day
the airship Travelled a distance OF 275
feet in the air, at an elevation of II feet,
in three seconds The White Wing. as
the ship is called, appeared to be under
perfect control and could have gone far
Their. Next day, however, the second
of two short flights ended in an accident.
After being second in the air, Lieut.
Selfridge, who was steering, lost control
of the front plane and the ship plunged
to the earth, breaking the rudder wheel.
During both of these ascents the rain
was falling, but did not interfere with
the power of the air craft. The motor
used is the 30-horse power Curtis eight
cylinder, V type, which was used in -he
Ormond record auto races. The White
Wing was expected to make long fight
in a few days.

all her life among bright colors and

girl in sornber raiment must needs be
poor and unhappy. She looked her pref

Dispenser of Kisses.
Frenchman, who apparently has
good zeal of time on his hands, has
been amusing himself by reckoning up
the number of kisses he has given his
wife during the first twenty years of
his married life.
He finds that in the first year he
dispensed about 100 kisses a day, or,
say, allowing for birthdays and legal
and church holidays, about 36,700 IN
the year.
In the second year this number was
reduced by half, and in the third year
to ten a day, while in the dfth year
his better half had to be content with
two a day, one in the morning and
one in the evening.
What happened after the fifth year
is wrapped in mystery" but at the
same rate of progression" he probably
arrived eventually at one kiss on the
