Sea Air.

At meeting of the French Thera-
peutical society NJ. Laumonier showed
that the therapeutic effect of sea air
on the coast is quite different from
that of the open seal. e.. twenty or
thirty miles out On the coast the eff
feet tends toward excitement and con-
gestion and, moreover, is irregular in
its action. Out at sea it is tonic and
regulating, and in addition the patient
gets quiet, regular life and contin-
uous bath Of pure air. These advan-
tages are not SO patent on board great
liners on account of the vibration and
the smell from the engines, but on
sailing ship they are evident.

HUMBLED THE PRINCESS.
Fall Of Dusky Beauty From the
South Sea Islands.


One night John Sharp Williams.
While a student at Heidelberg, Ger
many, was In attendance upon swell
function at which the guest Of honor
was dark skinned princess alleged
to hail from one Of the south sea is
lands. This princess was magnificent
ly bedecked and bejeweled, and her
warm olive complexion, set off by n
mass of black kinky hair, full red
lips, snow white teeth and black,
sparkling eyes, made her the center
of the function. The masculine-llSe
Germans swarmed about her like bees
around honeysuckle vine. and even
Dutch femininlty could not discount
the charm Of her manner or the beauty
of her person.
John Sharp was introduced, of
course, and Immediately upon obtain
Ing near view Of the princess (O his

and his southern blood began to boil
Watching his opportunity, he managed
to get to the beauty's elbow. Then. re-
ducing his voice TO low, but perfect
ly audible key. he sent into her star
tied ears this alarming query:
"Look here, Niger where did you
come from?''
Panic stricken and with all her self
possession scattered, the alleged prin-
cess turned upon her interrogation as
she heard the familiar intonation of
the southerner and looked into his un-
relenting face. Then she stammered:
"Fum South Caroliny. boss, but for
de Lawd's sake don't tell it,
Whether John Sharp respected the
pitiful plea Of southern negress in a
faraway land and permitted her to
continue her bold imposition upon the
credulous Germans the story does not
tell. But the fact remains that the
princess" realized that she as in the
presence of one who. from intimate
knowledge Of her race, had OWNED
her African origin, and she could only
throw herself ON his mercy.-Biloxi

A HUMAN MACHINE.
He Was Able to Correct a Language
He Did Not Understand

He Did Not Understand.
When Max Muller was preparing his
edition of the Rigveda he had, so the
story goes an illustration of the in
stinctive wisdom of the compositor.
In providing the manuscript for about
G,C00 sheets of print the author nat
urally tripped from time to time.
whenever he did trip, there on his
Voof was the error querled in a care
tul hand. Surely, he thought, some
unknown scholar in the university
must be overlooking his proofs with
kindly interest and making the correc-
tions for him. Inquiry showed that
this was not the fact. The corrections
were the corrections of the man who
set up the type. did this man, then,
know SanskritT' Muller asked Not
bit of it. Use and wont enabled him
to detect the errors as hungry child
scents cooking dinner. The discov-
cry originated through his arm rather
than from any intellectual doubt. and
that arm was palsied!
This printer had sustained an acci-
dent, leaving him with an arm partly
paralyzed. and as this made him slow
er with his setting his masters turned
him on to Sanskrit. with which he had
had no previous acquaintance. He had
to learn upward of 300 types for the
work, but he learned them and accus-
toned himself to the work Now.
many of the letters in Sanskrit cannot
follow each other or, if they do, must
be modified. In writing Muller some
times forgot these notifications, but
they were all marked on the proof.
Muller was so interested that he sought
out the printer to ask him how he
was able to correct language which
he did not understand. The explana-
tion was remarkable: "You see, sir.
my arm gets into regular swing
from one compartment of types to
another, and there are movements that
never occur. So if l suddenly have to
take up types which entail new
movement | feel it and put query"

MAMMOTH MINERS.
The Experts Who Prospect and Dig
For Prehistoric Creatures.

Mammoth miners are experts whc
know where to prospect for nam
moths and how to dig them out, even
as the mining engineer knows where
to prospect for silver and how to ex-
tract it.
In the west, In Alaska and in Sibe-
ria mammoth miners are always at
work. They are always unearthing
creatures that died 100000 years ago.
Siberia was the mammoth's true
home Siberia 100000 years ago was
one luxuriant forest. Here the fur
covered beasts, with their ten foot
trunks and their fifteen foot stature,
swarmed. Then an earthquake re-
moved barrier range between ST.
IBERIA and the Arctic ocean, and those
low lying forests were inundated. All
their animal and vegetable life was
killed.
The first Of the drowned Siberian
mammoths was found in 1799 by an
Eskimo villager on the banks OF the
Lena. 1t was imbedded in a vast cake
OF ice. The villagers melted the Ice,
they feasted on the 100,000-year-old
flesh, and then they sold the tusks.
Only the bones remained when Zlo-
tower of the Petersburg Imperial mu-
scum reached that outlandish village
after journey of $500 miles. He
took the bones back to the museum,
where you may see them mounted to-
day. He bought the tusks from the
ivory traders and fixed them on the
skeleton, and the book he wrote about
his find is still text book among the
mammoth miners of our day.

THE BASTILLE.
Men and Methods In the Famous Old
French Prison.

The Bastille as a prison was appar-
emily better kept and cleaner than
either Bicetre or the Chatelet, and i'm
prisonment within its walls did not, It
would seem, dishonor the prisoner or
his family. A great many prisoners
were charged as mad, and under this
elastic term the violent maniac, the
ambitious madman, the young spend
thrift. the megalomaniac, the reacher
for the philosophers stone or the Sc
cret of perpetual motion - all these
tiresome persons might be and were
included
How, then, did these prisoners live?

as in the cells in the towers, the prison
ers were on bread and water. as rule,

member that 1t was perhaps not ad-
visable to say much about the Bastille
when you We're still living within its
walls and that, as NJ. NOUN has re-
minded us, "the old Spartans offered
sacrifices to fear" Prisoners, more
over, had to sign on their release an
elaborate declaration by which they
swore never to divulge,' directly or in
directly, anything they might have
learned as prisoners concerning the
Bastille.-Mrs. Frederic Harrison in

"And will you be sure to tell me,

The hour for the consultation arrlv-

By and by the two doctors were
heard descending the stairs, and n mo

Walking over to the fireplace, the spe-

local doctor sank into another. Then
followed moments silence, broken by
