NEW MoRGUE FOR PARIS.
Search for More Convenient Buildings
Better Equipped

Until March last year one of the sights
of Paris used to be the morgue-that
grim building with its large expanse of
window pane, through which one gazed
at one, two, three, or even more unidenti-
fed bodies, mostly those of drowned
persons but sometimes with dark
stain Oh the head or chest that told
of deed of violence. AT the foot of
each inclined marble slab were the
clothes Of the victim, placed there as
atfOrding an additional means of identi-
fcation.
Although this grisly sight has now
been abolished, the morgue itself. with
its refrigerating chambers and its ia
cilities for autopsies, serves so many
useful purposes that it is proposed to
rehOuse it i'll more convenient buildings
equipped with all the resources of mod
eru hygienic science.
The morgue, as an institution, is cen
turtles old. 1t dates back to 1871 when
one of the avenues of the Grand Chat
elet was set apart for the exposure of
bodies of persons trouyes mors par ac-
cident. They were placed at the foot
of tree, the object then, as more re-
Gently, being to afford facilities for pub
lie recognition; and there the bodies re-
manned until they We're identified or
putrehcation set i'll.
About 1914 the lower Jail of tine
Chatelet was used for the same purpose;
dark, dank hole, through which people
passed, lantern i'll hand, scrutinizing as
best they could the features of the
bodies which We're often heaped on top
of each other in this confined space.
The Grand Chatelet was demolished in
1902. from which date until 1864 these
wrecks Of humanity were to be seen in
a stone structure resembling a Greek
tomb on the MarcheNeuf quay. In 1864
the institution found it's resting place in

sANDYs VICTORY.

Old Sandy was herder-weil, just a wee

While we rode up and told him he must 90

We give him till next mornin' to move his
sheep away;
He waited, still and patient, till we had
said our say
But we seen he hadn't vamoosed when We
come back next day.
We rode up to his wagon, red hot cussin
But out pops loeoed Sandy, with bagpipes
And at his side a ciaymore-an he was
struttin proud.

But Sandy kept on playin' Scottish

Eight cowmen was unsaddled, and those OF
us that stayed

But stin old Sandy strutted and still the
bagpipes played.
Well, we was weak for laughin', but grasped
the herders hand,
And babe the victor welcome-him and his

HUNTING ROCK HARES.

How long the Arab has inhabited the

that this keen blooded race has now

Curious to see what natural sport

Revealing What the Panama Canal Will
no

Frontiers of traffic to the Orient from

of the Tehuautepec railway are revealing

and the establishment of facilities for
| the sending of freight by the short route
| without breaking bulk. The American
| Hawaiian Steamship company announces
| III New York city a special sailing for
| Japan. China aud the Philippines, via
/ the Tehuantepec railway and connecting
steamers ON the Pacific ocean. This new
service enables American merchants in
| the Eastern and Southern states TO land
| their goods in the Japanese markets in
| fOrty-tw0 days from New York and IN
| less time from Gulf ports, at reasonable
rates, The time consumed by shipments
| by this route is less than half that which
is usually required for the transportation
of freight by the Suez route.
This schedule relates only to freight
shipments. The rail haul across the con
tinent is long one, and freight is often
delayed on the way. The route by way
Of the Suez canal is also very long, the
course being across two oceans and the
Mediterranean sea before the Pacific
ocean is reached. For passenger trat-
tic the rail route across the continent will
be preferred to either the Suez or the
Tehuantepec routes, except by those who
seek SEA tFaNel as Il INVERSION. w men lHe
Panama canal opens there may he
rush of passenger traffic by that route
because of the novelty of going from
sea to sea in a big steamer and thus cut
ting off tremendous mileage of ocean
steaming. The passenger service by way
of the Can9' may persist even when the
novelty wears off as il will be conve-
nient to take a steamer at New York
and have stateroom facilities all through
on oh ~,
this regard win give the Panama route
the preference, and after it is opened
the Tehuantepec route will be confined
strictly to freight competition.

The boy did as he was told, but, going
out, he picked M a shovel that was
standing near the door, put it on his
back and started down the street.
Before he had gone ten feet away the
old man was after him, yelling: Come
back! Come back
The boy came back, took off his coat,
