There is no man living who has fought
more real, hard, to the death duels than
CoL Monstery, the veteran disciple of the
art of running one's fellow man through
the ribs. CoT Monstery has fought duels
in Europe, in Mexico, South and Central
America and other countries where the
sword is the arbiter of the quarrel.
To a reporter who enjoyed a chat with
?tti the other day, the colonel explained
why Gen. Boulanger's course in his recent
encounter had damaged his (Boulanger's)
reputation as a great soldier.
"Gen. Boulangcr," said he, in his brisk
way, "from what 1 learn by the papers,
brought about his defeat by his lack of
coolness and consequent fury of attack.
He rushed blindly on his foe, losing all
sight of prudence and skill in the desire
to inflict injury. For an expert swords
man to overcome such an attack is an
easy matter, lie has only to wait coolly
for his antagonist to leave an opening and
then sail in. Boulanger's fatal impetuosity
in this instance is the best possible proof,
to the view of any soldier, of his lack of
ability to command. Such a man makes
a good fighter in ordinary warfare, but no
commander. He is fitted to obey orders;
to give them never! I have admired
Boulanger until now, and looked for
great things from him as a general. But
in my judgment he has no discretion. His
conduct in this duel justifies the supposi
tion that in a great conflict, in which, two
great armies were engaged, he would act
in precisely the same way as he did in his
fight with Floquet; ho would hazard all
on one desperate move, and as a result
lose. This, mind you, is tho view of an
old soldier, and I tell you it can't be
wrong. A hot head makes agood fighter,
but no general."
Passing on to a general commentary on
dueling, past and present, CoL Monstery
expressed the keenest contempt for the
average French duel of the day. It is the
explicit understanding, he said, that when
two Parisian gentlemen of today decide to
settle a quarrel with the rapier, the first
flow of blood, no matter by which re
ceived, shall end the combat. He thought
the existence of this understanding was
tho French government's pretext for its
recognition of dueling as a national in
stitution. "There are, of course, occasional excep
tions to this rule," ho added, "and there
is nearly always an exception when one of
tho combatants is a foreigner. A French
man will always kill a foreigner in a duel
if ho can, particularly if it is an English
man. This was tho case in the famous
duel between Mr. Dillon, on English jour
nalist, and thb Duke do Grammont de
Chartreuset, which took place in Paris
eighteen or twenty years ago. The duke
was a thorough master of tho rapier, and
iho Englishman knew nothing of the
weapon. At tho very first assault the
duke, by a skillful play, sent his adver
sary's sword flying from Ids hand. He
then sprang like lightning on his un
armed adversary and ran him through.
As fought today, however, tho French
duel with swords is mere child's play and
is always ended at the first scratch. It is
different, of course, when the duel is
fought with pistols. Firearms cannot be
fooled with safely, and are much more
likely to kill than to maim. There was
an instance of this in Paris a few weeks
ago, when an artist shot dead at the first
fire a journalist who had too harshly criti
cised some of his pictures.
"When a Frcncnman who is challenged
to fight a duel chooses pistols as the
weapons, one may know ho means busi
ness. His choice of swords only means a
littlo theatrical display and a reconcilia
tion. It is evident, though, that the
Floquet-Boulanger affair was serious
enough. Boulanger plainly meant to kill
his adversary, and when Floquet saw
what ho was at I have no doubt but that
he fought to kill also. No man can sea
another striving to take his life and not
return tho compliment. Between you and
me, I think Boulanger was in great luck.
A man who employs the tactics he did in
the presence of a skillful swordsman will
be killed in nine cases out of ten."
With regard to the code in other coun
tries, CoL Monsterey remarked that tho
men of Mexico and tho Central American
republics were tho fiercest and most in
veterate duelists. He recalled the famous
duel of twenty years ago in the City of
Mexico, between CoL Garcia, an Ameri
can, and Col. Mejea, a Mexican. Rifles
were tho weapons used, and CoL Garcia,
who was lame, choso to fight sitting in a
chair. Ho isever rose from the chair,
though, for the range was short, and the
Mexican shot him dead at the first fire.
Col. Monstery has in his studio the rec
ords of an instance where he was able, on
tho shortest kind of notice, to extricate a
truculent young man from an extremely
embarrassing predicament. He was sit
ting in his office in New York oue gloomy
evening in 1871, when there was a nerv
ous knock on the door. "Come in," cried
he, and on the invitation there entered a
young man, who proved on inquiry to bo
one Col. Canzi, a soldier of the days of
Garibaldi, who immediately began to un
fold the tale of his plight. He was
under contract, it seemed, to fight at
dawn with Gen. Fardella, also a tried and
courageous veteran. The weapons to be
used were sabers, and Canzi knew about
as much of handling a saber as he did of
cooking a Welsh rarebit. He needed
sleep badly, and two hours was all ho had
In which to learn enough to save his life.
Those blessed two npurs the colonel
employed in teaching him two vicious
cuts, either one of which, if well deliv
ered, was calculated to cut off his adver
sary in his prime. He was told to bide
Lis time, wear the general out by defen
sive tactics, and then send his cut home
at tho proper moment. Canzi departed
full of hope, and followed out his orders
to the letter. After twenty minutes of
hard fighting, during which he success
fully repelled Fardella's attacks, he de
liveasd one of his two cuts with such con
scientious effect that the general's sword
arm was slit clear from elbow to waist,
completely disabling him. The press of
the country teemed with extended ac
counts of tho affair, and Canzi was ever
afterward regarded as a bad man with the
saber. Inter Ocean Interview.
REVIVING THE DROWNED.
Xetbod Fsed la New Tork Harbor.
Explicit Directions.
The following method of Dr. Howard is
used in New lork harbor: Rulel Upon
the nearest dry spot expose the patient to a
free current of air; rip the clothing away
from the waist and give a stinging slap
upon the pit of the stomach. If this fails
to arouse the patient, proceed to forceand
drain away the water which has entered
the stomach, according to rule 2.
Rule 2 Turn the patient upon his face,
theirit of the stomach being raised upon
folded garment, above the level of the
mouth. For a moment or two make
steady pressure upon the back of the
stomach and chest, and repeat it once or
twice until fluid ceases to flow from the
mouth.
Bole 3 Quickly turn the patient upon
his back, with a bundle of clothing be
tween it so as to raise the lower part of
the breast bone higher than the rest of
the body. Kneel beside or astride of the
patient, and so place your hands upon
either aide of the pit of the stomach upon
the front part of the lower ribs, that the
angers fall naturally in the spaces be
tween them and point toward the ground.
Now, grasping the waist and using your
knees as a pivot, throw your whole weight
forward as if you wished to force the con
tents of the chest and stomach out of the
stouth. Steadily increase the pressure
while you count 133, then suddenly
let so with a final -posh, which springs
you into an erect -kneeling position. Re
main erect upon your knees while you
count 1 3, then throw your weight for
ward and proceed again as before. Re
peat the process at first about five times
a minute, increasing the rate gradually to
about fifteen times a minute, and continue
It with the regularity of the natural
soathinf, which you are imitating'. If

out of the left side of the mouth, with
the corner of a pocket handkerchief, while
with the right hand he grasps both, wrists
and pins them to the ground above the
patient's head.
After treatment When breathing first
returns, dash a little cold water In the
face. As soon as breathing has been per
fectly restored, strip and dry the patient
rapidly and completely, and wrap him in
blankets only. Give hot brandy and
water, a teaspoonf ul every five minutes
the first half hour, and a teaspoonf ul
every fifteen for an hour after that. If the
limbs are dry, apply friction. Allow an
abundance of fresh air, and let the patient
have perfect rest.
Avoid delay. Promptness is of the first
importance. A moment lost may be a
life lost. Waste no time in gaining shel
ter. When gained it oftener harms than
helps the patient.
Prevent crowding around the patient.
However difficult this may be, it must be
enforced. Friends must not be allowed to
obstruct the circulation of air, nor en
gage the patient in conversation when
rallying.
Avoid attempts to give stimulants be
fore the patient s well able to swallow.
It helps to obstruct respiration and may
choke the patient.
Avoid hurried, irregular motions. The
excitement of the moment is almost sure
to cause this in inexperienced hands.
Just as a nickering candle, moved care
lessly, goes out, so the heart, when its
beatings are imperceptible, needs but
little cross motion to stop it. The move
ments of rule three should therefore be
performed with deliberation and regu
larity. Avoid an overheated room, and avoid
giving up the patient too soon to death.
At any time within one or two hours you
may be on the very threshold of success,
though no sign be visible. Frequently
success has been known to follow half an
hour's apparently useless effort. Rest
and watchful nursing should be con
tinued for a few days after resuscitation,
or various chest troubles may ensue.

The Candahar Hallway's Importance.
The public generally were well informed
of the progress of the Russian railway to
Samarcand, but little has been known re
garding a still more important lino that
the British have been constructing to
Central Asia from the opposite direction.
Since Jan. 1 this new line, the Candahar
railway, has been opened to Killa Abdulla,
5,000 feet above the sea level; and there is
now a daily service of trains between
Killa Abdulla and Quetta, with caravans
from Candahar and Herat stopping at the
former place to unload and transport their
goods onward by raiL From Quetta to
Candahar the railway will run in almost a
straight line, and its construction will be
exceptionally difficult and expensive.
From Gulistan to Chaman, on the
Candahar side of the Ewaja Amran range,
the distance is only thirty miles, but tho
estimated cost of the railway along this
fart of its course is $400,000 per milo.
'ending the construction of the permanent
line, it is the intention to open up com
munication with Chaman as soon as
possible, by means of a light mountain
railway. One of the chief features of the
permanent lino is a tunnel two and a half
miles long, upon which English miners
will bo employed.
The importance of this railway to the
Anglo-Indian empire can scarcely be over
estimated. As a commercial enterprise
alono, it cannot fail to.be of tho greatest
utility, as by it the productions of central
Asia can find a more direct outlet to tho
sea than by any other route. But the In
dian and British statesman will regard it
asmainly of importance as a means for tho
transportation of troops to the confines of
India and central Asia in the event of any
threatening advance on tho part of Rus
sia, or in case of a rupture with that
power. Frank Leslie's.
The Tollers of the Kile.
We are in Nubia, the climattt, the differ
ent types of tho negro race, their black
skins displayed with a lavish disregard of
dress, all remind us that we are indeed in
Africa, for all about us are the very
scenes we used tn see in the geography
pictures when but children. Myself a na
tive of the south, and familiar with plan
tation life in half a dozen different states,
before as well as since the civil war, I find
these Africans in their own country a par
ticularly interesting study. We have
watched them at their daily toil, and far
too often are they made to work night as
well as day, until exhausted nature could
stand no more. Their food is lentils, a
grain something like barley, but tasting
more like the bean. A coarse, dry bread,
that a well bred dog would not eat at
home. Sometimes a few dates as a lux
ury, and this is alL We buy a sheep now
and then for the boat's crew, and they are
as ravenous over it as a pack of starving
wolves. The crews of the boats are at
least decently covered, but with a great
number clothing is unknown. We see
these people drawing water from the river,
toiling in the fields and laboring in the
great sugar mills of the Nile.
For my part, I can truly say that slavery
was not understood by me before visiting
Egypt. In intelligence and respectability
the average of these people, not simply
Nubians, but those of Egypt as well, I
mean, of course, the felaheen, do not com
pare with our plantation negroes. The
alleged cataracts are nothing more than
rapids, not as fine as those above Niagara
falls, nor the Lachine of the St. Lawrence.
We descended the lesser one in a small
row boat, found it exciting, with perhaps,
a spice of danger in it. It was good sport
to watch the ebony sons of the desert leap
from the rocky cliff into the seething
waters of the great cataract, then, after a
hard struggle, scamper up the steep bank,
and. by the dozen, make our ears ring
with the din of the national motto, "back
scheash, backscheash," all in chorus.

Disposition of Old Letters.
It is trouble, not good, that arises from
old letters. A package has fallen into my
care to be disposed of as thought best.
It contains letters, bills, receipts, some
papers of value and others worthless. In
order to sort the chaff from the wheat,
they must be carefully examined. Ah,
what unthought of secrets they disclose
family troubles of which the world never
dreamed; bitter heartaches where we
thought all was serene; love letters,
sacred for their time and place, ridiculous
now; a whispered suspicion of slander
upon a name we thought was pure as
snow, and we are left to wonder whether
it is true or false. Old letters. What
can they be good for? Their mission is
ended.
"I may like to read them while recov
ering from an illness," says some one.
Pshaw! as if these would be tonic you
needed at such a time! Better far a
breath of pure air. We are all prone to
brood too much at such times, and need
no such help in that direction. Let this
plea for the burningof letters be a strong
one. Business letters should be filed and
labeled. Have a blank book into which
to copy such dates or extracts as may be
of value in the future for references.
This can be done when letters are an
swered. Then burn them and see the
ashes. It is the sorrows instead of the
joys, that most letters contain. They are
the safety valve for deep feeling from
friend to friend, good in their time, but
sometimes worse than useless in the fu
ture. Every day brings new experiences.
We are constantly changing, ana in many
cases would bo ashamed of our own let
ters written ten years ago.

cowries for a specimen of a Soko, dead or

skulls were taken to England, where Pro
fessor Huxley pronounced them the skulls
of a woman and a man. They bore the
marks of the hatchet that gave the unfor

said half the skulls he saw were similarly
marked.
WARRING OK WEAKER TRIEE3.
The middle course of the Congo from a
point about 100 mftes above Nyangwe to
Bolobo. some 1,200 miles down the river,
and the tributaries on both sides of this
part of the river are the regions where
nearly all of the Congo cannibals are
found. They are not known near the
sources of the river nor near its mouth.
The traveler from Lake Tanganyika to
Nyangwe on the Congo passes through a
country "surpassingly beautiful," as Liv
ingstone called it, which is the home of
the cannibal Manyema. When a slave or
carrier belonging to a caravan dies in
their country they always wish to bury
the body, offering grain or vegetables in
exchange. They make war on the weaker
tribes around them. To ono explorer
they justified cannibalism on the ground
that their neighbors were thieves and
ought to bo eaten. "They come here,"
they said, "and steal our bananas, and
so we chase and kill and eat them." The
country abounds with a great variety of
nnimnl and vegetable food, and Living
stone said there was no reason for Man
yema cannibalism except a depraved appe
tite. It must not be supposed that all of
the Congo cannibals seek habitually to
supply themselves with human flesh.
Most of them, like tho Manyema. limit
themselves to eating the bodies of those
who are killed in battle or who die. Cam
eron said the Manyema consider the flesh
of men much superior to that of women.
Although the Manyema are far more de
graded than many other cannibal tribes,
they are noted for their gentleness and
physical superiority; and their handsome
women are much sought after as slaves
by the Arabs, who now support several
stations in the Manyema country, and
here as well as further down the Congo
are doing much to destroy the practice of
cannibalism.
Cannibal tribes are regarded with fear
and abhorrence by all who are not ad
dicted to the practice. Had it not been
for tho terror with which tho Congo men
eaters inspired their carriers, Livingstone
or Cameron, instead of Stanley, would
have solved tho problem of the Congo.
This abhorrence of cannibalism extends
from sea to sea. Horace Waller wrote
of the tribes of Lake Nyassa that
it was common to hear them speak of
tribes far away who eat human bodies,
"and on every occasion the fact is related
with the utmost horror and disgust."
THOUSANDS OP CANNIBALS.
Tho densely wooded regions between
Nyangwe and Stanley Falls are tho
homes of many thousands of canni
bals. The Waregga, tho Wasongoro
Meno, and the Bakumu are the best
known among these fierce tribes. A large
part of the territory they Inhabit has not
been visited, but in some of their villages
along the river human skulls are found
lining the streets, and human thigh bones,
ribs and vertebra) are piled up in the
garbage heaps. "Ah, we shall eat
Wajimi meat today," was the cry with
which they sallied forth here and there to
do battle with Stanley. At Stanley Falls
he sank in the river tho bodies of two of
his men whom they had killed to keep
them out of the clutches of the cannibals.
These tribes, who a few years ago
swarmed by thousands along the river,
have now burled themselves in tho for
ests, the Arabs having taken complete
Sssession of the river banks between
yangwe and Stanley Falls.
A little below the Bangala tribe Gren
fell and Von Francois, three years ago,
found thousands of cannibals along tho
thickly populated Tchuapa affluent, which
they ascended for more than 800 miles.
These tribes, all of whom speak the same
language, did not pretend to deny their
weakness for human flesh. They share
with the Manyema the peculiarity of pre
ferring to eat men, ana they do not Kill
women for food. They repeatedly offered
to give the explorers women slaves in ex
change for men, who they admitted would
be utilized as food. Von Francois says
they particularly coveted his fat Boruki
interpreter. Once some presumptuous
fellows surrounded tho big Indian inter
preter, pinched his arms, patted him on
the back, cried "Meat! meat!" and begged
the whites to reward their friendship by
making them a present of the man. Cor.

Iareatioa of ths Hoasx Extractor.
A foreign paper notices the death at
Venice, Italy, of Maj. Von Hroschka, the
Inventor of the honey extractor. He was
a retired Austrian officer, and the inven
tion of the honey extractor occurred in
this way: His apiary was in Italy, and
one day when he was in his apiary his lit
tle boy came there. The boy had a small
tin pail tied to a string, which he was
swinging in a circle, holding the end of
the string in his hand. The indulgent
father gave the youth a small piece of
comb filled with honey, putting it into
the little pail. The boy after awhile be
gan to swing the pail again as before,
with the honey In it. A few moments
after he became tired of that amusement
and put the pail down to talk to his
father, who took it up, and, by chance,
noticed that the honey had left the comb
and settled down into the pail, leaving
the comb perfectly clean that had been on
the outside of the circle when the boy
was swinging it around. The major won
dered at the circumstance, and turning
the comb over bade the boy swing it
again, when, to his great astonishment,
the other side of the comb also became
perfectly clean, all the honey being ex
tracted and lying at the bottom of the
palL
During the following night Maj. Von
Hruschka, after going to bed, commenced
to think the circumstance over. On the
morrow he commenced a series of experi
ments which resulted in his giving to the
world the first honey extractor, which, by
whirling, something Eke his son whirled
that little tin. pail, gave him the pure
liquid honey, extracted by centrifugal
force, leaving the honey comb entirely
free from the liquid sweet, which he gave
again to the bees to fill, allowing him the
pure honey for making wine, mead, and
metheglin or honey cakes, as desired,
without employing the troublesome and
primitive method in use up to that
time of mashing up the combs containing
the honey, pollen, and sometimes brood,
too, to let the honey drain through the
cloth in which it was placed, giving what
was formerly known as "strained honey."

little flock would disperse and the musi

Entomologists who have made the
brains of insects a study tell us that the
orthoptera, especially the grasshoppers,
have a good development of brain, but not
equal to the ants, or to the social bees
and wasps.
Another class of grasshoppers remain
on the ground to play. These are the
violinists among the musicians; they use
their hind legs for bows, which they draw
across strings situated in the wing covers.
The Rocky mountain locust (Colopteuus

is an instance where an insect ceases to
be insignificant and becomes a great and
mighty power in the land, compelling the
government to supply men and means to
try and thwart the vast armies that sweep
over sections of the west, devouring all
vegetation before them. Mary Treat in

The Delights of Summer.
Summer is the season of growth and
physical prosperity for everything, an
imate or inanimate, except man in the
four season climates, and even there some
exceptions prove what the rule might be.
The farmer sweats' freely while hoeing in
his cornfield, but, with his straw hat, suit
of light jeans and bare feet he feels the
same grateful exhilaration as the veg
etating shoots which spring up greenly
about him. The pores of his skin are
open for every passing breeze, and the
wet drops which soak into his light
clothing are not an expense account upon
his physical bank.
A similar regulation of clothing prevails
in hot climates. The Hindoo who works
all day in the rice fields is not subject to
sunstrokes. Australians, Cubans and
Mexicans live easily during six months of
hot weather, because they know how to
adapt themselves to climatic conditions
as fatal as pestilences in the cities of this
part of the globe during some weeks of
the summer. The Greeks, in tho days
when Athens was great, when Pericles or
Alclbiades ruled and Socrates, Plato, Zeno
or Pythagoras were living thinkers, did
not suffer from heat in their robes of
snowy linen. And the Romans of the
heroic age, when Virgil sang, Cicero talked
and Cesar led armies to victory, thought
summer a delightful season of happiness
and comfort.
The same possibilities exist for men of
today, if they will only clothe themselves
sensibly and diet reasonably. New York
Press.
iranng the Siege of Paris.
A recent exhibition of French carica
tures and comic drawings brought to the
public eye once more the evidences of tho
fact that Parisian gayety was not to be
suppressed even by the terrible siege that
the capital went through from the Ger
man army. One of these caricatures,
published during the siege, was made to
represent a fashiou plate; various elegant
ladies and gentlemen were pictured going
about wrapped in mattresses, and under
neath the picture was the legend: "Fash
ions for tho bombardment season." Most
of these pleasantries of the siego turned
upon the scarcity of food a grim subject
which seemed particularly inspiring to
the caricaturist of the time. A servant
asks his master: "Shall I put tho horse3
in tho carriago today, or in the barouche?"
"H'm," says the master, sighing, "you
may put them in tho oven, please!" Not
unlike this is another caricature repre
senting a servant making tho familiar an
nouncement to his mistress: "The horses
are ready, madame." "What!" "Yes,
madame they are on the table!" Such
Peasantries seem scarcely to have been a
aughing matter to the people who went
through those fearful scenes, but the
Parisians must laugh at something, and
these pictures prove that they could not
think of stopping their gayety on account
of such a passing incident as a siege and
a famine. The Argonaut.
Cider la the Metropolis.
I should imagine that cider had becomo
as popular a beverage in New York as it
is in Maine. Wherever I go in tho hum
bler quarters of the town I como on cider
shops. They vend buttermilk and pop
Leer, too, I believe, but cider is certainly
their chief commodity, and I havo never
seen a cider shop in which I did not also
see people drinking cider. Some fifteen
years ago a speculative individual opened
a cider shop in an unleased store on Broad
way. The beverage was advertised as
manufactured on tho premises, and in tho
window of the shop was a miniature cider
Eress, which was operated by a miserable
ig dog that toiled on a tread mill all day
and half the night through. I believe Mr.
Henry Bergh put an end to this estab
lishment and some others that sprang up
in imitation of it.
Since then the cider industry has evi
dently settled on a legitimate basis. That
it has already enjoyed the developing in
fluences of civilization is evidenced by the
fact that in one of the shops on the east
side where I dropped in to satisfy the
cravings of thirst and curiosity at ono and
the same time, I read announcements of
"cider and milk," "spiced cider," "hot
mulled cider" and half a dozen other curi
ous combinations. Tho champion combi
nation of all, however, the immortal and
soul enthralling "stone fence," was, per
haps fortunately for the patrons, absent
from the list. Alfred Trumble in New

ship, and start a co-operative business.
They invest in a shallow punt, and a regi
ment of perhaps twenty or more of these
solemn birds sit on perches at either end
of the punt, each having a hempen cord
fastened round the throat just below the
pouch, to prevent its swallowing any fish
it may catch. Then, at a given signal, all
the cormorants glide into the water, ap
parently well aware of tho disadvantage
of scaring the prey.
Their movements below the surface are
very swift and graceful as they dart in
pursuit of a fish or an eel, and giving it a
nip with their strong, hooked beak, swal
low it, and continue limiting. Sometimes
they do not return to the-surfaee till they
have secured several fish, and their
capacious pouch is quite distended,
and sometimes the tail of a fish protrudes
from their gaping bilL Then they return
to tho surface, and at the bidding of their
keepers disgorgo their prey, one by one,
till the pouch is empty, when they again
receive the signal to dive. When the
birds ore tired the strap is removed from
the throat, and they are rewarded with a
share of the fish, which they catch as it is
thrown to them. Youth's Companion.
Waking from Sleep.
The author of "On Blue Water" gives
some curious observations upon the man
ner in which we recover possession of
our senses whenever we are awakened.
He thinks that it is the sense which is
most violently assailed that is first to
wake up. He says:
"I know no place where a man has so
many opportunities for observing the
phenomena attending the awakening from
sleep as on board ship, where half the
people are awakened from sound sleep at
least three times a day.
"Often the bright light of my cabin
lamp, just lighted, has been visible to me
some seconds before I could hear or un
derstand that I was being called to get
up. I have often called a man, and re
ceived an answer which led me to believe
that he was wide awake, though he was
unconscious of having answered at all.
You may even hold a long and animated
conversation with some men at eight bells
without waking them up." Youth's Com
panion. Artistic Dress Designing.
There are three sisters in Poughkeepsie
who have set up an establishment in
artistic dress designing. They study their
customer and make her look as well as
she can in colors and fabrics that sre
suited to her. Nsw York Press.
A Specific far AleohoilsBi.
A specific against drunkenness has often
been sought, but as yet there has been
found no remedy except that of moral de
termination, Although the reform ac
complished in this manner is encourag
ing, there is a wide field for the use of
some physical method for the reclamation
of besotted individuals who cannot be
reached by moral suasion. Dr. Portug
slow. a well known physician and writer,
declares that the desire for drink is a dis
ease, and must be treated by means cf ther
apeutics. He claims that as quinine is a
specific against fever, so are subcutaneous
injections of strychnine tho absolute
means of curing the passion for Intoxi
cating liquors. It appears that so far
back as 1878 this method of treating was
employed, but it attracted little attention.
Ill 1884 the celebrated French physi
cian. Dujardin-Boimctz, was a most zeal
ous advocate of this method of treatment.
The preparation and application of the
injection is quito simple. One grain of
strychnine is dissolved in 200 drops of
water, and the patient receives an injec
tion of five drops daily for a week or ten
days. The effects of the injections are
surprising; after two or three of them the
drunkard has an appetite and is able to
sleep. If, after the expiration of several
months, the desire for strong drink re
turns, the result of indulgence Is so dis
tressing, palpitation of the heart, head
ache and other equally disturbing effects,
that it becomes impossible for the inebri
ate to touch another drop. It is recom
mended to make the injections during the
drunken sleep, when the patient awakens
in the full possession of his senses and
will ask for a second or third application.
It would be an admirable arrangement if
the police surgeons would test tills
"cure" upon the intoxicated persons
brought Into the various stations. If
this means of treating the deadly sin of
Intemperance be as successful as its advo
cates claim the family physician will be a
powerful factor in the regeneration of so
ciety. It has been suggested by the Rus
sian press that stations be established in
every department of Russia for the salva
tion of tho army of drunkards. Newark
Advertiser.
Paris and London Compared.
Paris interests me more, or at least en
tertains me more, than London. It is
more foreign, more brilliant In its shops
and drives and more volatile in its dispo
sition. The climate, too, is better. It is
not quite so warm as the day we sailed,
but the sky Is blue, the sun warm, a
breeze blows and all Paris Is in the open
air. The fog and smoke that darkened
London, and which make every inhabitant
a smoke consumer there, are both hap
pily absent in Paris. Then, again, the
eating here is infinitely superior. Eng
land is more ceremonious, more dignified,
and London is more ponderous. It strikes
me as a great physical and intellectual
force. Paris, per contra. Is organized to
minister to the eye and ear and passion,
to physical enjoyment in its most sump
tuous and sensuous forms. While at tho
Metropole gentlemen were expected to
wear dress suits every evening at table
d'hote and to stalls at the theatre, and
ladies to go without bonnets, and, as a
rule, to dress decollete; in Paris a dress
suit or a dress open at the throat are ex
ceptions. There are Americans here at this hotel
by the score, but it is a wonderfully quiet
.place when contrasted with the Metropole
in London. The comparison is fair, be
cause each in its own city is regarded as
of the very first rank. The strawberries
here are phenomenally large and of su
perb flavor, and do not have that hard
and insipid core that large American ber
ries have. The lettuce differs in looks
from ours, and is decidedlv better. As
you know, the French chef knows how to
blend his oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, etc.,
that you cannot detect the special taste
of any one of the Ingredients, but where
a most toothsome compound flavor re
sults. For salads and sauces, of course,
everybody knows the French are perfect.
George R. Gibson in New York Graphic,
He Was "Awfully Nice."
In the morning a party of St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Milwaukee people, about
100 in all, lured a train, went up to Wind
sor and thence up tho Thames in steam
launches. They were a merry crowd.
When the train reached Windsor the
party strolled through the parks sur
rounding the castle, laughing and sing
ing, much to the amazement of the simple
villagers and awe stricken attendants.
Half a dozen pretty western girls were
romping ahead of the main party at the
foot'of the castle wall when they sud
denly came upon a tall, military looking
young man in riding costume, carrying a
big bunch of primroses and wild flowers.
"Oh, what pretty flowers!" cried one of
the misses. "Where do you get them,
sir?" she asked, looking inquiringly at the
young man, her face betraying not the
slightest sign of embarrassment.
"I picked them over there," said the one
addressed, pointing to an inclosure with
his riding whip. 'But you couldn't reach
them because that's private, property.
Suppose you take theso. I can get some
more.'"'
He handed over the entire bunch, lifted
his hat politely and walked back for more
flowers. The girls thought him "awfully
nice," but they didn't know he was Prince
Henry of Battenberg, the queen's son-in-law,
who, as a matter of duty, religiously

riuency of the Sign Language.
Before spoken language was there were
signs; before speech stepped in there were
gestures; the face did duty as a revealer
of the emotions, and the hands accom
panied by gesticulation, as that of ideas,
and for all the ordinary purposes of life
tho code is amply sufficient. Watch two
deaf people as they use it. They have
plenty to say and know how to say it.
Their talk may not last more than ten
minutes, but if all that talk was written
out it would cover an astonishingly large
amount of space. Politics, social topics,
all may have been discussed with equal
facility.
True, the deaf make a free use of the
mtttnifti alphabet in connection with signs,
but the cause lies rather in muscular
weariness than in any inadequacy 09 the
part of the signs themselves. As devel
oped in the schools for the deaf, the sign
language has a capacity for thought ex-
iression absolutely marvelous. Moreover,
t is swift, comprehensive and yet con
densedend above all, it is silent. A
universally understood code of signs
would do away with the strident and oft
time profane efforts to understand and be
understood, which are at once the dread
and torment of the average tourist. De

Labeled' as'French Braadv.
As the annual local consumption in
France of brandy is 12,000,000 gallons,
and the yearly product only 18,000,000
gallons, American lovers of eau de vie are
wondering what the stuff is which comes
across the Atlantic labeled as branch

of it is cheap German spirits, flavored
with cunningly devised extracts and cor
dials. Chicago Herald.

A Famous Doctor
Once said that the secret of good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Avar's Pills
as an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so many of his
distinguished successors are doing.
The celebrated Dr. Farns worth, of
. Norwich, Conn., recommends Ayer's
Pills as the best of all remedies for
" Intermittent Fevers."
Dr. I. E.-Fowler, of Bridgeport,
Conn., says: "Ayer's Pills are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. I make daily use of them
in my practice."
Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedfonl, Mass.,
says : " Having prescribed many thou
sands of Ayer's Pills, in my practice, I
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
be.it cathartic in use."
The Massachusetts State Assayer, Dr.
A. A. Hayes, certifies : " I have'made a
careful analysis of Ayer's Pills. They
contain the 'active principle of well
known drugs, isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
of great importance, to their usefulness.
It insures activity, certainty, ami uni
formity of effect. Ayer's Tills contain
no metallic or mineral stilwtance, but
t'ne virtues of vegetable remedies iu
sirillful combination."
