Mary had a little lamb
Twas Persian-on her coat;
She also had a mink or two
About her dainty throat;
4 bird of paradise. a tern.
And ermine made the hat
That perched at jaunty angle
On her coitfure, largely rat;
Her tiny boots were sable topped.
Her gloves were muskrat too;
Her mutT had heads and tails of half
The critters in the zoo:
And when she walked abroad | ween
She feared no wintry wind;
At keeping warm. twas plain to see
She had all nature skinned.

NOW THE "ELEcTRIc SLEEP"

Electric sleep. to be turned on" or
turned Off" at will. is the alluring
promise held out to sufferers from
sleeplessness by DR.. Nagelschmidt. q
German physician.
So far electric sleep has been pro-
duced only in rabbits and dogs. but
the experiments on animals have been
SO free from ill-effects that DIR. Nagel-
schmidt thinks human beings can be
subjected to the same treatment with
out danger
DR.. Nagelschmidt asserts that his
new method also has the power to
eliminate pain in any portion OF the
human body. A condition is produced
in which pinpricks. or even the in
cisions of the surgeons knife. are not
felt SO long as the patient remains in
an electrified" state.

SMOKING AND HEALTH

Those who smoke In moderation
have a far better chance of resisting
disease than those who do not smoke
at all.
Definite experiments have recently
been made which show that tobacco
smoke rapidly destroys in particular
the comma bacillus of cholera
A good many years ago, says the
Lancet. 1t was reported by the senior
medical officer of Greenwich work
house that the tobacco-smoking In
mates enjoyed comparative immunity
from epidemics.
During a cholera epidemic at Ham,
burg 1t was reported that not single
workman engaged in the cigar factory
in that city was attacked by the dis
ease. Later 1t was stated that
amongst body of 5000 cigarmakers
only eight cases and four deaths from
cholera occurred
Tobacco smoke has destroyed the
bacilli of Asiatic cholera as we'll as
pneumonia. and there is evidence that
it has been preventive of some forms
of nasal catarrh.
Excessive tobacco smoking. Of
course. may easily give rise to consti-
tutional effects which diminish the re-
sisting power of the body to disease.
in which case 1t is probable the habit
would AFFORD not only no protection.
but an opening for invasion.

WHERE is GARDEN OF EDEH7

Forty miles west of old Bagdad. in
the vast level valley Of the historic
Euphrates. near Hit, Of the Hittites,
lies the traditional Garden OF Eden.
Such is the interesting conclusion OF
Sir William Willcocks, the famous
Egyptian engineer and Bible student
and many other authorities agree
with him.
"Out Of Eden camc a river which
watered garden. and from thence II
was parted and became four rivers
And these four rivers. known in Bible
days as the Pison. Gihon. Hiddekel
and Euphrates-the ancient River OF
Babylon"-have been identified By
Sir William.
1t was while studying. surveying
and mapping Chaldea previous to
starting work on the giant irrigation
scheme planned for Mesopotamia,
that Willcocks became convinced
that the real Garden of Eden lay In
the region described.
The Garden of Eden lies away over

white travellers see 1t in a whole year.

FIGHT WITH AN OCTOPUS

Attacked by an octopus young
man OF Waimate Island, N. a.. had
an exciting experience, few days
ago. He was gathering mussels
in the SET. close to the shore ON
one of the islands in the gulf
when the young man with cries for
help attracted the notice of his father.
On arriving to see what was the mat
ter. the father found that an octopus
had one of its tenacles. as big as
mans wrist. wound round the boys

of the lad that it drew blood before
they could be separated.

DR.. DUMBA, AusTRIA's NEW ENVOY

DR.. Constantin Theodore Dumba.
the new ambassador of Austria and
Hungary. arrived In Washington a
few days ago.
The new ambassador was born In
Austria, June IT. 1856. and has been
in diplomatic service since 1879. His
last diplomatic post was a minister
in Stockholm. Sweden, where he be-
came acquainted with many Amer
leans at the last Olympic games. He
has not been in America before.
DR.. Dumba inherited the rich es-
tate Of his uncle. DIR. Nicholas Dumba.
who was prominent figure In Amer
icas Industrial and political life. and
also was known as a great patron of
arts. 1t is expected that DR.. Dumba
will play as important a part in
Washington's social life as his prede-
cessor. Baron Hengelmuller. The
new ambassador is married. but his
wife will not follow him until next
month. 1t is considered probable he
will find the present ouartere of tha

THE CORPSE PLANT

The Indian pipe. or corpse plant, is
a strangely interesting kind of para
site. 1t has bunch of flbrous roots
which attach themselves to the roots
of other plants, or sometimes they
grow in decayed vegetable matter.
The plant is white. and has no leaves.
but little bracts instead. The flowers
have no odor and turn black as soon
as they are plucked. Many botanists
claim that the Indian pipe is an un-
pleasant plant, but we have not found
it SO. 1t attaches itself for life to
one plant which 1t chooses for its
friend. Some botanlsts call 1t life In
