A Berliner, with truly Fmperial moustaches, tells of an Eng lady whom he has seen "doing" a easy ascent in the Dolomites, ac- companied by no fewer than five guides and carriers. "Now, that is strange," puts in an- other climber from the Athens on the i8prac, "when I came up yesterday I t an English lady going down quite iby herself on this easy path, and she iwas clinging on to the rocks with one d and holding up her umbrella on 'the other side so as to shut out the wiew of the slope."

At this moment the door opens to admit a wandemr, whom the first 'glance betrays to be English, and moreover, an English country parson 'He bears the traces of exposure; hic boots are still covered with snow, his {hands are dirty and torn, his face ia almost raw, and the skin is peeling loff his nose.

He was the only Englishman we met in this glor- jous Alpine region, preferable though it be for grandeur of nature and com- fort of shelter to any part of Bwitzer- land. Boys the More Defective.

(Somebody had told the story of the woman who declared that lovernaking was not what it used to be, that yeu never heard of men tearing their hair and going down on | their knees nowadays and that "I know my husband didn't go down on | his knees when he proposed to me," whereat her dearest friend said: "Didn't he? He did when he proposed to me.") "Tragic for whom?" asked somebody. "For the husband," said he. The Great White Ants. The termites, or great white ants, which are highly esteemed as food in Central Africa, live in great colon- ies and build enormous hills. As soon as the rainy season begins, when the termites are full grown and about to leave their nests, they are regarded xs choice edibles, and the man ant ester then goes forth with his axa and chops his way into their dwell- ing place in order to kill them WEALTHY, BUT STARVED. Old Woman Miser With $22,500 Has Tersible End. There are some curious features in the case of an old Manchester (Eng.) woman who lived a simple and lonely life and died of starvation, although she had over $22,500 in money and securities. Mrs. Ellen Cresswell, a widow, liv- . ed her life quite apart from the ont- ! side world, "occupying a house in Billington place, Clifford street, Chorl- ton-on-Medlock, a typical working- class district. Recently the people who live next door heard n noise like some one falling, but their knowl- C Sweet to Eat Lax-ets A Candy Bowel Laxative, edge of the eecersric habits of their | lunacy wo- a ~The physician who had the family for thirty years Scott's Emulsion.

She was fully dressed and the body bore no signs of violence, though it was in a neg- lected and emaciated condition. There was little food in the house, and tha place generally was in a deplorabie state. There was strong cvidence that the de , who was about 70 years of age, had died of starvation. A more careful search of the house by the polica showed that the late tenant had balances in Manchester banka amounting to over $22,600. She had had transactions with the Man- | chester and and the Ma ings' Bank, was deposited in the district. drawers and unlikely places the po- lice found $200 in gold, while stitched to the clothing she was wearing were three sovereigns and some silver amounting to $25. Efforts to find any of her relatives have failed, and what the neighbors say about her is most contradictory. They son on board ship, and that she buried a son at Lancaster four or five years ago. There is cvery indication that | at one time of her life she lived in more comfortable circumstances better surroundings, for the ce found some old jewelry and a quaint miniature portrait of a young man, which is believed to be that of one of her sons.

The Hambure EARL GREY'S APPEAL On behalf of Needy Consumptives Strong words of Canada's Governor-General At the official opening of the King Edward Sanatorium for Consumptives, near Toronto, His Excellency delivered an address that must have an important bearing on the future of the sanatorium movement in Canada. We quote :-- "Tho proceedings this afternoon commenced with a beautiful and reverent prayer from your old friend, Dr. Potts. He prayed that the light of the Lord might shine upon us. That prayer is abundantiy answered. He also prayed that the White Plague might be removed. Well, whether that prayer will be answered or not depends upon yourselves."
