MNiceroX of Heaven.n

Prince Max of Baden was once
brought to book by King Edward, says
a writer in the London Daily Express.
The prince and the late king met at
Marienbad, and the prince severely
criticized the British constitution,
which he characterized as republican
with an hereditary president" King
Edward replied: 81 see what it is.
You, too, if you became emperor, would,
like William, like to be viceroy of
heaven" Then he added: eff you don't
change those ideas. you will finish by
setting fire to your own house."

La Good American.

My cousin was driving an ambulance
loaded with French and American
wounded soldiers along a road which
was being shelled. Some of the shells
were exploding uncOmfOrtably near.
At length one burst directly ahead of
their ambulance, forcing them to make
a detour to avoid the shell hole.
"Pres, pres!" cried a Frenchman,
which expression means in good Amer
lean, Gee, that was a close one!"
An American dCughboy, however,
misinterpreted it, and cried out in dis
gust: "H-ll, I've been praying for

"De Levee Am Bust"

was not a sign of land to be Seen.

Mountain Sheep.

Fears are being expressed in Brit
ish Columbia of the extinction of those
already scarce and grand animals of
the chase, the mountain sheep. Trophy
hunters in increasing numbers take ad-
vantage of the open season in western
states, and Canadian supplies suffer
as a consequence.
1t is suggested that a rigidly OBJ
served close season be maintained on
both sides of the border for the next
five years. and that only one head be
allowed to each party of hunters for
the future.

Kidding Ships of Rats.

DR.. r. H. Creel of the public health
service, has made a report on the rela-
tive efficiency of fumigants for rodents
on ships, as determined by subsequent
intensive trapping over a period of one
year. Sulphur dioxide was used on
50 vessels and hydrocyanic gas on 1872
vessels. with a much shorter period
of exposure, the latter resulted in the
destruction of 95 per cent OF the ro-
dents, and the sulphur of only II per
cent.
