Something like 60 years ago a resi-
dent of New South Wales, Australia,
obtained from Europe three pairs of
rabbits, and set them free in the
colony. 1t was not many years be-
fore the rabbits had multiplied to
such an extent that the rabbit popu-
lation was regarded as a scourge to
agriculture. Entire sections OF Aus
tralia were overrun with the rapidly
multiplying animals, and 1t became
necessary to enclose cultivated areas
with rabbit-proof fencing.
Now, it appears from reports in
Sydney newspapers, which reports
are summarized in the Providence
Journal, what was for years regarded
as an unmitigated misfortune is be-
coming a source of profit The pest
has become a moneymaker, and the
memory of the guileless original i'm
porter is no longer mathematical.
The expectation Of rabbit skins from
Australia now exceeds over 5000, 900
annually. One local buyer alone sent
q ton Of rabbit skins a week through
out last season, ands freezing works
are being established to enable the
carcasses of the animals to be sent
to Europe as an economical and &C
ceptable food product.

SO gloriously associated with the great
memories Of Austerlitz and Jena. This
obstacle proved fatal: the third repub-
lie was constituted, and Henri " was
left without throne.
Nevertheless this affair had left
behind Il o general impression that
MacMahon was not strongly opposed
to the monarchy; and his election to
the presidentship a few years after
was owing largely to the support OF
the Royalists in the assembly. After
his election, however, he seemed to
have resigned himself to faithfully
playing the part of the chief OF the re.
public, and the hopes of the Royalists
had gradually died away. when they
were suddenly revived by the incidents
have described. A remarkable activ.
ity Instantly displayed itself in their
ranks. followed by corresponding de-
preston on the part OF the friends OF
the existing regime. You know the
electrical atmosphere OF Paris, that
city which in the course OF a century
has witnessed ten revolutions. SIMS
ter rumors coupled with the name OF
the president were on every lip, and
men went about not knowing from
hour to hour whether they might not
hear of the overthrow of the republic.

the Elysee.
THE president himself was. of
course. the last person in Paris to
whom these whispers were likely to
penetrate Carried away by his desire
to meet his lady OF the lilies again.
he did not hesitate 10 fulfil her in
structions by once more driving out
with the fatal signal in his buttonhole.
While all Paris was Keeling under this
fresh shock. the unconscious marshal
sought his reward at the little door
Of the garden.
The unknown was faithful to her
appointment. She was again yelled,
and greeted him at first with q shy
reserve, which did not prevent her
from allowing him to bestow a kiss
upon her delicate fingers.

the offcial head Of the French repub+

days these Royalisk embIems in tho
midst Of Paris. where their signifi-

noted BY thousands OF spectators. HID

As these reflections passed through
his mind Mac Mahon ground his teeth
and uttered savage ejaculation I'M

drew back. with a gesture Of despair.

claimed. in pathetic tones. j meant

not a woman who had abandoned her
seit-respect, and have offended you
beyond recall
AS she spoke she raised her veil
another inch. and the marshal beheld
two lustrous eyes as beautiful al
sapphires, which cleaned through thu
darkness as though they were about
to be filled with tears.
MacMshon was the president Oh
France. but he was at the same time
man. Overcome by this touching
spectacle, he forgot the graver aspect
OF the situation, and remembered only
that he had caused distress to d
woman. He instantly stepped to tho
side of the young girl. as he now per
ceived her to be, and began to reassur4
her.

The marshal waved back the key
which she held out TO him, with q
gesture Of reproach.

on me SO great punishment Do

And with these words she was
gone. The door closed behind her,
and Immediately afterwards he heard
the sound of a carriage rolling away.
"MacMahon returned more infatu-
ated with his unknown charmer than
ever, and he eontrived, In delightful
reveries on her Vaccinations, to forget
the serious nature of the intrigue in
which she evidently wished to en-
tapgle him.
But In the meantime the affair
had, already produced its grave CON
sequences. The spectacle OF the
president OF the republic driving out
day after day with Royalist emblem
in his buttonhole had created the most
profound impression In Paris.
THE fact was that MacMahon had
never been looked upon as an extreme
Republican. At the time that our
statesmen we're engaged In construc-
ting a new government after the ter
rible events which brought about the
fall of the second empire, there was a
question. as you may have heard, Of
restoring the ancient dynasty in the
person of the Comte de Chambord.
The chief obstacle which presented
itself. in the course Of the negotiations
which took place, was the question
of the flag. The comte. actuated by.
a sincere belief in his hereditary
rights, demanded that the lilies Of the
Valois should again be recognized In.
the national standard of France. Il
was MacMahon himself who. speaking
in the name Of the army. insisted on.
the retention Of the tricolor. that flag.

Thousands Die NeedleSSly
In Search of Health

From 10000 to $4,000 consumptives
go West in search of health every
year. Such is an estimate made by tn
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis in a
statement issued today based on re-
cent investigations of the United
States Public Health Service. The
Association concludes that here are
at present between 100000 and 300
900 consumptives in the states of Cal
ifornia, Arizonia, New Mexico, Texas,
and Colorado.
Investigations were made during
the past year by Surgeons of the
United States Public Health Service of
the United States Public Health Ser
vice, P. NJ. Darlington in California, E.
A. Sweet in Texas and New Mexico,
and A. D. Foster in North and South
Carolina The National Association
draws the following conclusions from
these studies:
% Thousands of consumptives at
tracted by the climate migrate every
year to the West and Southwest. While
no definite figures can be procured,
the facts ascertaind would indicat aa
annual migration of at last 10000 and
possible $4,000 into the States of Cal
ifornia, Arizona, Colorado, New Mex
leo and Texas.
(2) From 80 to so per cent of these
consumptives are hopeless cases and
die within six months after their ar
rival, the percentage of those dying
within 80 days running as high as Is.
90 A large, but unknown percent
age die in almshouses or are the re-
cipients of charity and the great ma
jority of these could have been made
comfortable in their last days if they
had stayed at home with friends and
relatives.
CA From 40 to 80 per cent of all
deaths from tuberculosis in the West
and Southwest are of natives of other
states, nearly so per cent coming from
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky,
Tennessee and New York.

60 People VINO can afford it and

of tuberculosis will find the climate of
the West and Southwest an aid in the
treatment of tuberculosis.
60 No one should think of going
West or Southwest for his health un-
less he has at least $1,000 above his
railroad fare and can leave his family
in comfortable circumstances; and no
one should go who is in an advanced
stage of tuberculosis or who has not
taken careful medical advice.
CD tuberculosis can be vured in
any part of the United States, and it is
far better for consumptive of mod
crate means, such as the average
workingman, to go to sanitorium
near at home, than to go West and
live in more favorable climate With
out proper food or medical care.
(S) Finally, there may be plenty Of
jobs in the West and Southwest for
able-b bodied men, but the consumptive
will find greatest difficulty in egt-
ting work, and no one should go West

TURKISH GUNNERS
DESTROY AEROPLANES
THROUGH MISTAKE
(By Associated Press.)

ATHENS, June 21.-Two Turkish
aeroplanes that recently flew over
Constantinople were mistaken for
Russian by the Turks, who opened up
a brisk gunfire that brought down both
machines and killed two of the army's
best aviators.
According to other accounts brought
to Athens by travellers, the people of
Constantinople are in an excited state
of mind At the beginning of the war
they were entirely confident. But the
arrival of the first wounded from the
Dardanelles proved a painful surprise.
The people had gathered at the docks
to see, as they expected, bands of
British and French prisoners landed.
Instead, they saw thousands of their
own wounded. A demonstration against
the war led largely by women follow
ed in front of the war office, but was
dispersed.
Constantinople's hospitals are now
crowded with wounded, who receive
scant care. The Turks lack doctors,
nurses, gauze, bandages and medical
supplies and the hospitals ere print

New York-That the difficulties be-

the opinion voiced by Count Won Berns-

hotel here Thursday shortly after his
return from Washington. Approached
by a newspaper man Count Won Berns-
torff said:

You may say for me that ! am sure
that within fortnight all supposed
difficulties between the United States
and Germany will have been settled
and permanently settled, and the ma
tions will be more friendly than they
ever have been."
Count Won Brentsorf added that he
felt gratified over the outcome of bis
conference with Secretary Lansing.
Later the ambassador amplified the
statement, saying:
"In my opinion everything as re-
CARDS the situation between the Unit
ed States and Germany will be settled
within fortnight. / do not expect to
have anything more to say with refer
ence to this matter in the next two
