HISTORY OF BARONESS
NAUGHAN'S RESIDENCE
Chateau Reconstructed by Mar
quis de BaIincOurt

Much has been heard Of the Chateau
dc BalincoUrt in connection with the
late King Leopold. and the last word
has not yet been said. for ii viii in all
likelihood form the stfbject Of litigation,
says the London Globe The chateau
was constructed by the marquis de
Bauncourt in the eighteenth century.
lie was tie son of the marshal. 1t is
said to be more a palace than a chateau.
Nine de Genlis in her memoirs refers
to the fetes which were held in the
grounds
At the time Of The revolution the
marquis who was overwhelmed by debt,
found asylum during the terror among
his creditors. who did not wish TO see
him part with his patrimOny. Under
the directOire the marquis sold the es-
tate TO some spectators. from whom
General de BeurnOnville. then ambas-
sador in Spain. bought it. In 1921 the
general. who had become a marshal.
died. leaving the property TO his
nephew and adopted son. General Baron
de Beurnonville. who with his son, a
noted collector, dwen there.
The Chateau de Balincourt next
passed into the hands Of the baron's
Younger brother. and al his death in
1856 BalincOurt was sold to a retired
trader named Bouey, who had made a
big fortune in America. n. BOuey did
not become the owner of the Louis
XVI furniture which adorned the
chateau, and the new proprietor. more
a man Of business than Of taste, refur-
nished the place in modern style. beau
tiful but unsuitable, and this was A
heavy drain on his purse.

new SERUM FOR
LOCkJAW FOUND
Method Involves Operation on
Spinal Cord and Requires
Great Skill

Although for a number of years a
serum has been in constant use which
to some extent Iessened the dangers
from Iockjaw and tetanus. this scien-
tidc preparation has never really been
a true antitoxin, and, indeed, in no
sense of the word can be considered a
cure for tetanus. So far, there has
been discovered no real cure for this
disease.
But a new treatment. where the
earlier symptoms of tetanus have ap-
peared, has been used in about so cases
in a famous Partisan hospital. This
is quite simple in theory, but really
involves an operation on the spinal
cord and column that only hospital
facilities would permit of and only eN-
pert surgeons could attempt
The newly invented treatme11 for
tetanus consists in opening the spinal
canal and injecting sulphate of mag
nesia- OF course, the dangerous poi
son which always collects in the spinal
column during an attack Of tetanus 1ss
drawn off in the beginning OF this
operation. Then the new medicine is
introduced in the cavity.
So far so cases have been reported
upon and in each case a remarkable
reduction of the jerking usual in te-
tanus cases has been noted. Also the
fatal locking of the jaws is 1essened-
No fatalities were reported in any OF
these so cases. which is remarkable,
although the number of deaths has
been greatly exaggerated as regards
Iockjaw, which is little MORE fatal
as disease than typhoid fever.
The science underlying the new
treatment of Iockjaw with magnesium
sulphate depends on the recently dis
covered effect of this salt on the hu-
man nervous system. Ii has marvellous
power TO reduce nervous cOnductivlty-
That is, il so deadens the nerve tissue
that IL fails to react with the brain.
AS a result in tetanus, when the dis
ease has begun to cause jerking or
many muscles and also locking of the
laws by nervous tension, the action or
the magnesium suIphate deadens the
nerves so that they stop this morbid
behavior and the dangerous symptoms
disappear.
When the enormous number OF
deaths is this country from tetanus IS
considered the popular interest in this
new scientific discovery is easily com
prehended At every fourth of July
celebration there are hundreds OF
deaths from tetanus. and every oad
wound is apt 10 produce this curious
disease of the nerves
II is stated that within an hour
after the first incisiOn in the splnaI
canal and the injection of the new med
icine. there is a marked improvement
Another injection is then made and nVe
injections are reported as having IN
every one of so cases brought about
cure of lockjaw.-New Haven Pallad-

FAMOUS PALACE MAY
BE SECURED BY FRANCE

All the French papers at the present
moment are agitated over the Palais
Farnese. The French government de-
sires TO acquire the palace as a resi-
dence for the French ambassador in
Rome. but certain difficulties with the
italian government have to be sur
mounted. says the London Globe. The
palace is said to be one of the most
beautiful in Rome. The building was
commenced by Pope Paul III when he
was Cardinal Farnese, that is prior
TO 1884 The work extended over 80
years. There were four architects en-

the mythology are by Carraehe who

HAVE ANNUAL MARRIAGE
DAY IN BRETON TOWN
Twenty-eight Couples United in
the Village

At Plongastel-D -Daoutlas, in Flnisterre,
once a year, the simple people have a
wedding day for the young people OF
the locality. On the present occasion
% couples were married. The religious
ceremony occupied the whole morning,
says the London Globe. The little
church was crowded with parents and
friends of those changing their con-
dition for better or worse, all in the
picturesque Breton costume. 1t is a
rule among the people only to marry
among themselves. No stranger is al
lowed to choose wife from among the
fair daughters of Plongastel. This con-
vention of the place is never broken
and those married on Wednesday We're
for the most part cousins. After the
religious ceremony "un repas de noces
antagruelique" took place Among
other astronomical surprises was a
sea crab OF which the carapace meas
ured rs centimeters, that is, more than
27 inches. This was followed by a
dance to the music of the biniou, or
Breton bagpipes.

Joyous MEMORIES
OF SCHOOL DAYS
Lincoln Boys Cast Off Burden
of Years at Merry AM
nual Reunion

Heads that bowed together over
books in the old Lincoln school 40 years
ago. heads that are turning from iron
gray to white, bent over sumptuously
laden tables last night in the Argo-
naut hotel when the second annual
banquet of the Lincoln schoolboys
reunion was in full sway.
The great white dining room of the
Argonaut was filed with over 150
graduates of the Lincoln grammar
school long before the feast began
and the laughter of the boys" grew
louder and louder over the countless
"reminiscences until they finally seated
themselves for the evenings fun. 1t
was with the greatest joy that more
than one of the "schoolboys' fshed
into the pockets of their dinner coats
and pulled forth bean shooters with
which they bombarded old classmates,
even as they had done 40 years ago.
OLD MEDALS DISPLAYED
Later as the din of first greetings
subsidized this diner and that would
bring forth an old medal dated 1858
and tied with the original faded pink
ribbon, passing it around for the bene-
fit of an old schoolmate who had not
been seen in perhaps the last 20 years.
the old Lincoln school was flashed on
the wall fro ma stereoptican, then a
picture of Lincoln. Great enthusiasm
was voiced by the diners. As the
noise died away Toastmaster Alexander
Robertson arose and told of the pur-
poses of the organization. A motion
was carried to open the membership
of the organization one more year at
each annual banquet. thus perpetuating
the league and keeping it in relatively
the same status. Al present the cr-
sanization is composed of the gradu-
ates of the Lincoln school between
the years 1865 and 1871.
Many prominent businessmen were
called upon to give recitations aud
songs throughout the evening which
passed quickly in the joy of old time
things
Among those who spoke were:
George Burdick, Frank Worth, James
Taylor, Judge Samuel Hall, Charles
Miller, w. j. Hardy, j. Harry Zenlan-
sky. George H. Pippy, Frank H. de
Guerre. Sig l.. Alderman.
