.95; L: ‘ I, I ,1 fl «3* _»__.I - a ‘3 panes saws Typhoid fever, always a disease peculiar tr Peril, is very rife just new. The cause is attributed to_ the use of the abominable water of the Seine for domestic purpose, due to the last five months’ drought. No one ever drinks it who can afford to spend two sous on a battle of natural mineral watcr. Hypnotism is to be elevated into a science. Already a society is being formed in London to invcet to its merits and has promise of inflnsn support. So much encourage- ment has, in fact, been given to the move- ment that a semi-public gathering has been held in Westminster Town Hall to take it into still further consideration. The question of the larger introduction of the lance into the French army is under serious consideration by the French war authorities. The Fifth Brigade of Dragoons has been supplied with the new and im- proved lascs for some time pass. but, upon the arrival of the Dragoons in Paris, these lances have been taken away, for fear that foreign military visitors to the Exhibition should obtain a knowledge of their construc-' tion. Probably the smallest republic in the world is the one which declared its inde- pendence on Aug. 9 at Franccville, one of the islands of the New Hebrides, and elect- ed hi. Chevilllsrd its President. The in- habitants consist of forty Europeans (includ- ing a solitary Englishmen, a missicner), and 500 black workmen employed by a French company. The new flag of the republic hav- ing been duly hoisted, the French gunboa‘: Saonc landed a detachment and saluted the flag. The talk heard so often nowadays about China’s growing friendliness to the outer barbarians is founded on error. The Chinese hate them as bitterly to day as they did thirty years or more ago. The lives and limbs of foreigners in Canton are said to be much less safe than formerly, insomuch that if they chocsebc visit unattended the temples, the Potter's Field where the beheading takes place, or any of the other famous sights in the wonderful city, the risk run is consider- able. A notable decrease has taken place in the British convict population. In July last the total number in custody under sentence of penal servitude had dropped to 0,405,“ com- pared with 11,600 twenty years ago. The number of women sentenced to penal servi- tude has fallen Very much below even recent years, the number in 1885 being 57, and in 1883, 186. The whole number of women in England and \Vales now under sentence of col servitude is only 402, or less than a third of the daily average female convict population of ten years ago. One oi the most remarkable feats of pho- tography on record is the photographing the terrible orplcsion at Antwerp. or, if not the explosion, the immense clouds of smoke pro ducod at the moment. The current number of “La Nature" gives an illustration copied from a photograph of the huge cloud that shot up in the air, roughly in shape like an inner-ted Florence filsk, when the explosion occurred. It has been estimated» as being seventeen or eighteen hundred feet a cross, p and, according to the journal quoted. the cloud remained motionless for about a quar- ter of an hour, prcserviug the form record- ed by the photograph. . A musical troupe crossed the frontier of Saxony the other day. The officers of the Dcuane hoped to get a real: prizo and were very much disappoints with the way mat ters turned out. But they did their duty- manfully to the end. One of the properties was a crown of laurols which the musicians carried off from the latest of their triumphs. The officials taxed the laurels as spice. Mas- senct, the composer, had asomewhat similar experienceâ€"in Germany also. He was crossins the frontier with a crown of laurols, and he also was attacked by the Chef of the Banana. His laurels had to pay duty. They scheduled them as “medicinal plants." Great artistic excellence has been reached in Europe in the manufacture of. tin soldiers. A German military tfilcer has found it possibletc re resent military operations on a large scale y their moans. He has collect- ed 35,000 tin soldiers, belongingio every branch of the service and completely (quipp- ed, and has displayed them on a platform in the Kemptcn barracks, to illustrate a siege conducted in accordance with the best teaching of modern tactics. The scenery and other appurtenances have all been supplied by toys in common use, and the plcrureis said to be marvellous perfect. A French garrison, of course, occupies the fortress, and naturally is compelled to sur- render. Taking pattern by their elders, a number of schoolboys in the old Country have "struck" for shorter hours and no home lessons. On October Szh several hundred boys attending the Albany Road Board school, Cardifi, came out on strike. They then marched to another school in a body and tried to induce the boys there to atrike. 0a the teachers endeavouring to drive them away they smashed the school windows. The school strike appears to have begun in Scotland, schools in Dundee, Ayr, Greenock, and other places having been left in a body by the spill usually attending them. At West artlepool the boys came out in a body and marched through the streets. At one of the schools a spokesman of the strikers said they .wanted better teachers, shorter hours, and fewer home lessons. The German delegates to the Marine Conference at Washington have created no little surprise by asking for the reversal of the rule that ships should slow down in foggy weather, and that top speed should be rtqulrad under such circumstances. Such a proposition at a time when the speed of the great oceanliners is beiuu rapidly increased seems extraordinary, but it is probable that the Germans are proceeding upon the theory that when collisions do take place the ship that is going the fastest . has the best chance of surviving. They may also hold that the q! izkcr a ship can get out of a fog the better, and that by reducing its speed its chances of collision with another are so much incroamd. These arguments are plausible, but i: is not likely that they will have much weight with the conference, the other meman of which are opposed to the suggested change. _______.â€"â€"â€"-â€"-â€"-â€" CoraSowiug Is a prccess conducted by the agency of tight boots all the year round.

An old bachelor once said women were either “all smiles or all tears ;" but this cannot be true for what would there be “ ’twixt a tear and a smile.” Women have enough to bear to make them “all tears" and enough to hope for to make them “all smiles." When afflicted with nervousness, “female weaknesses,” sick headache, and the numerous diseases pecu- liar to their sex there is uecrssity for con- templation, and for "tours," but when they consider that there is a sure remedy in Dr. Picrco‘s Favorite Prescription for all such “lemale complaints," there is reason for “smiles.” One of the prettiest hats seen at the mast popular fall opening was a turban of brown lush trimmed on one side with two upright little rabbit’s cars or here's cars.
