One night at 3 o'clock the bishop of
Orleans was reused by a royal cou-

dispatch from his majesty Louis XIV.
The bishop imagined that something
terrible had happened Tremblingly he
opened the package and read:

you have none beg that You will
In this part OF the letter there was a
drawing of sedan chair and under
meath the chair the kings letter con
tinued thus.
"Send Immediately into your episco-
pal town and get them, and. monsieur
the bishop, may God have you IN bis

Lower down ON the page was this
postscript:

MODERN OCEAN LINERS.
Their Double Hulls Defy Hidden Rocks
and Derelicts.

iheir double HUBS DEFY ridden Rocks
and Derelicts.
In the hands of a skillful marine
architect much more has been accom-.
plished with steel construction than
the mere economy of space. The safe
ty OF vessels at sea has been enor-
mosly increased until in the highest
type OF modern ocean liners the eie-
ment of danger is virtually eliminated.
The marvellous ingenuity displayed
throughout this great fabric of steel In
guarding against every possible con-
tingency of the sea comes to the av-
erage lanIsman as a surprise. A great
liner of $4,000 tons may be controlled
by a single hand The complicated
machinery for safeguarding the ship
is practically automatic.
The bottom Of the great hull Of the
liner is doubled, the inner shell being
strong enough TO float the ship even
If the outer hull be completely torn
away. 1t is exceedingly unlikely that
water would ever reach this inner
shell through accident to the main hull,
but the precaution is taken so that If
1t should strike hidden object it will
prove absolutely inyulnerable. The
shipwrecks Of the past caused by run
ming upon hidden rocks, derellcts and
icebergs are thus completely eliminat-

PREVENTED TO0THACHE.
The Old Romans Did 1t by De~surirs
Two Rats Month.


Ii 1t be true that ancient remedies
are always the. best 1t may be of in
terest to those afflicted with dental
troubles to know how the ancient
Romans dealt with such ills. The Qui-
rites recognized two types of treat
ment, the magical and the medical.
The following are some of the preserip-
tons advised by the magicians:
Take the head of a dog that has
died Of rabies, mix the ash with oil of
cyprus and inject the product into the
ear of the affected side.
A water snakes vertebra will serve
to scarify the gum provided that it be
obtained from white skinned snake,
or for the same purpose may be used
a lizards frontal bone obtained when
the moon is full. or, if that fail, a
chicken bone will do, provided that it
be dried in hole in a wall and thrown
away Immediately after used.
1t is good treatment to inject into
an aching ear oil Of lemon in which
have been macerated mallow bugs, even
should this hast give rise to itching.
A worm fed on d particular herb or
a cabbage caterpillar can conveniently
be placed in a hollow tooth. but it is
equally simple to chew an adder's
heart.

Frank Beaurepaire of Victoria, Aus

has retired from competition. He broke
down completely after a grueing race
not long ago, and medical eXamina-
ton which followed his collapse elicit
ed the fact that he was suffering from
severe heart trouble. unquestionably
brought on by excessive Indulgence in
athletics before he had attained full
growth. Beaurepaire leaped suddenly
into prominence at the age Of sixteen
and was allowed to compete first at
home and then in England, swimming
the year round without a rest and
without n break in his training, and
the constant call on his vitality soon
undermined his splendid constitution.
The unfortunate ending of his brill

permitting boys in their teens to en-
