TITLED WOMAN IN GUTTER
English Temperance Workers Tried
vainIy to Reform Outeast Found
In London Streets.

London. - The Bristol Midnight
Sweep brigade is a body of temper
ance workers who scour the streets
after the public houses are closed
seeking to gather inebriates into their
net
The catches vary from two or three
to $50, and the brigade conveys its
captures to the meeting house. and
here the work of reclamation is begun.
J. T. NOVEL;. the secretary, in an in
terview with a London Chronicle rep
resentative, said it was found to be
very depressing work, but they had
been able to get fair percentage of
the men and women to reform their
habits.
Into their net had come a number of
university men, and one night they
captured woman who was entitled to
call herself Lady" She seemed to
be in the very lowest depth, having
become common tramp. I'VE had no
influence with Lady -, whatever"
said Mr.. NOVEL;, "and she left the hall
to 60 on the tramp again. The bri-
gade took a great deal of trouble over
this woman, and it was our private in
quiries that led to discovery Of her
identity as a lady Of title.

CLIMATE IS FINE
Sunny Places of the Mediterran-
can. Country.
Malaga, Spain, Has Only 20 Rainy
Days in Year-Morocco and A.
giers, in Africa, Have Many
Notable Resorts.

London.-Countries along the Med
iterranean sea are noted for the ex-
cellence of their climate. Malaga,
Spain, possesses one of the best eli
mates in Europe. The rainy days are
said to number only 40 in the year.
Morocco and Algeria in Africa af-
ford several notable resorts. such as
Morgadore, Tangier and Algiers. They
possess a much larger proportion Of
warm days and a greater immunity
from cold winds than any of the re-
sorts on the northern shore of the
Mediterranean. Still, owing to the
frequency of sea breezes and the vi
cinity Of high mountains. their eli
mates are moister Shan might have
been anticipated.
Thus the annual rainfall at Algiers
is SO inches, and of this four-fifths
or five-sixths falls during the winter
season. The interior of Algeria af-
fOrds several resorts en- the verge of
the great desert-such as Biskra-
where the climate conditions rival the
warmth and sunshine Of Egypt
The land Of the Nile possesses one
of the most wonderful climates in the
world. Here alone are found asso-
ciated perpetual sunshine and practi-
cal rainlessness with verdure and fer
tility. The rainfall of Egypt varies
from eight inches annually at Alexan-
dria and one inch and a quarter at
Cairo to nil at Luxor, where it is face
tiously said to rain once in every 1000
years.
With such q rainfall the number of
dull and cloudy days is necessarily
very small-almost perpetual sun
shine may be said to prevail, and a
high degree of atmospheric dryness is
attained. The drawbacks to such a
climate as that of Egypt are the great
contrast between the day and the
night temperatures, owing to the in
tense energy Of radiation, the glare of
the sunlight and the plague Of dust

ill and believed he was going to die.
Although the Smiths had only one
bed they gave it to the old man and
themselves slept on the floor.

cumberland bank and $55 in cash. Be
fore he died he made will leaving to

He knew very well that one never

that the snow on the dark and gloomy
top of a high mountain was fringed
with red. Then the thought came to
him, "How exciting It would he just
for once to see the Snow King at a
