Guides Great Feat

An Alpine guide, Philippe Allamand

Swiss papers by marvellous pedes-
trian achievement. He started on a
Monday from Taesch and assembled to
the Weisshorn hut, whence he re-
turned to the valley to fetch a mem.
Der of his party who had been left
behind. There was time for only
three hours sleep after that, and then
the Weisshorn had to be climbed. 1t
was in bad condition, and the ascent
took nearly II hours. No sooner
had he reached the top than Allamand
fastened down and proceeded to Ter
matt to join another party who had
engaged him for the Matterhorn. He

o'clock on Tuesday morning, went up
the Matterhorn at once, and did not
get back until II o'clock on Wednes-
day night, having been A hours with
out sleep, walking and climbing all the
time. Even then he took only a days
rest before leading party up the

There has been issued from the
Paris press a brochure which created
a large amount of interest in French
medical circles, both on account of its
originality and the experimental re-
suits which it embodies. 1t is from
the pen of DR.. Edgar Berillon, so we'll
known in the surgical world by rea-
son of his connection with Charcot in
the latter's hypnotic experiments, and
as secretaire general de la Societe
1'Hypnologie ct de Psychologist Of
Paris, and medical inspector of the
state lunatic asylums. The work is a
scientific treatise on onycophagie, or
finger biting, and contains the results
of series of observations in the pub
lie and private schools of France, and
extending through a period of more
than seven years. In his thorough
scientific treatment of what the world
Of prolonged or special study Berillon
arrived at results really remarkable.
His experiments led him to pronounce
the habit far more widespread and
ed and forced him to conclude that,
if not disease itself, it is an unfail
ing mark of incipient degeneration of
the nervous system, which, unreccg.
uized, may be productive of the most
evil results.-Dundee Advertiser.

strangers alike succumb to the mill
tary eye of the Hoodoo priestess.
One of the most remarkable expert
ences of my life Is how / came under
this influence; but some 20 years
since, finding it could be made bene-
fetal by keeping the possessor of this
gift always supplied with an abun-
dance of fruit, especially bananas,
sank my personality and became an
observer in this by-way of science.
DR.. Wilson of the Pennsylvania mu-
scum, says that hypnotism is merely
fear, adducing many interesting in
stances of the same, and it may be
that the domestic hoodoo is founded
upon such a basis. But what is there
in respectable-looking colored wom-
an to bring various nationalities OF
men, women, and children under sub
lection? Even horse maliciously nib
bling a tree on the front pavement,
listening to the ''mantrim" she pro-
nounced against his race, trotted off
instanter and apparently warned all
other horses, since no second one has
attempted a trespass.
The most remarkable power DOS
sessed by this conjure queen is that
of GEOGRAPHICALLY calling other colored
women for work or for society. Often
quite early in the morning she will
announce:
Il fell languid. Cannot work to-
day, but will call Hannah" Then to
the dog:
GO out and stay in the yard. so
you can tell me when Hannah
comes"
The dog obeys, and in a few mo-
ments loud barking indicates that
Hannah is at the gate. After another
little nap the edict goes forth
Henrietta had better bring home
my Dress" and before many minutes
the neat little colored dressmaker
trots in with profuse apologies and
the new gown. Next it occurs to her
that her clock Is either too fast or too
slow, so she goes to the fence and
summons the householder on the 9th.

he agrees to do with the greatest DO
iiteness.
I had so often seen the clock 20
over the back fence that once | ven.
ured to ask II Mr.. Moss were a clock
maker.
"Oh, no." said the conjure queen,
he only fixes clocks for me-"
Don't you ever pay him?"
PAY him!" she snorted, and gave q
ithering glance before which fed.

"Paderewski once called on a Phil.

The lady's little daughter put an Or

Bohemian way, Paderewski decided to
eat the orange on the walk back to

N0ISIEST OF THE CAPITALS
Mrs. Rice Of New York Thinks That.
the City Of London Is Growing
Quieter.

An American lady who Is at present
staying in London is making Il her
life's work to reduce the amount of
noise In the world, especially in the
streets of great cities.
Mrs. l. l.. Rice is the wife Of a we'll
known American chess player, the
London Daily Mail says. She is a
lark. vivacious lady Of medium height
Her manner, kindly and generous, is
that Of the competent woman of af-
fairs. Mrs. Rice's attention was FIRST
turned In the direction of noise abate-
ment by the constant shrieking of
steamer whistles near her Riverside
home on the Hudson river. As q re-
suit she founded In 1908 the present
New York Noise Abatement society.
Discussing London in comparison
with other great cities of the world.
Mrs. Rice, who has travelled widely,
said: THE order of noisiness in which
place the worlds chief capitals Is
as follows: Paris, New York, London,
Berlin.
In Paris there are absolutely no
restrictions on street noises. Every
cab-horse wears a bell; many have
several. The cochers are apparently
always quarreling, and throughout
the night shrieks rage out from every
cab rank.
In New York we have less traffic
than you have in London, but our troll
ley cars, which run on practically
every avenue, are much noisier than
anything here. London is quieter
city than it was when was here a
few years ago. The worst feature of
London streets is the unrestrained use
of motor horns. Then, too, the ex-
tremely shrill whistles which are used
to summon cabs at hotels, restaurants
and the large stores are undesirable
features of London"

MAKES FOR getty BEAUTIFUL"
Systematic Decoration Adds Greatly
to the Attractiveness
of Leipzig.

The following information concern
ing the exterior decoration of houses
and apartments in Leipzig is furn.
ished by Consul Southland P. Warner
of that German city:
The endeavor of the people here to
add to the attractiveness of their in
dividual homes, and thus to the gen.
eral beauty of the city, has been
greatly stimulated by the Offering of
prizes for the best and most artistical-
ly decorated houses. These prizes,
which consist principally Of objects of
art and of valuable growing plants,
are offered by the Der Verkehrsverein
association, while the Leipzig city
council contributes a considerable an
nual sum for prizes. Persons desir-
ing to compete send in their ad-
dresses to the association, which fur
nishes free illustrated pamphlets con-
tanning valuable suggestions about
growing plants and flowers, and using
them most advantageously for exteri-
or decoration.
The most practical and popular
method of decorating houses is by
placing artistically painted wooden
boxes containing collections of varie-
gated flowers upon the window stills.
The windows are frequently entirely
framed in by climbing vines. Porches
and balconies are better suited for
floral decorations, as large pot plants
and all sorts of vines can be used. In
residential sections of Leipzig nearly
every house has some floral decora-
ton. Small, transformations houses
thus frequently attract much atten-
ton.

where an appeal was made to citi-
zens to clothe them, to which there
was prompt response.
These negroes were chiefly Mandin-
gos, tall, well-formed, and with beau
tiful bronze skins, prisoners-of-war to
the neighboring tribes, who sold
them. Among the lot there were a
few Congos. They and their descend
ants never left Philadelphia, and be-
tween the latter and southern negroes
there is an antipathy as strong as
death.
adopted by the members of the So
ciety of Friends, they and their de-
scendants became imbued with the
domestic virtues and acquired quite
elegant and aristocratic manners.
Among them alone of all the colored
population of the United States is to
be found an occasional negro old
maid. While they intermarried with
one another, in the first generation
there were seldom more than two or
three children in family, and in the
third generation but one. Though not
