In Stockholm the policeman is a

Simplicity of Jenny Lind.
Jenny Lind must have been the most
simple, unpretending -prima douna that
ever' lived. When she first visited, Eng -
lend 'she was bound to sing only at the
Royal Italian Opera Rouse, and when
commanded to sing at the queen's con-
cert she -was obliged to refuse. Very
sorry to be compelled to notify this.
she ordered her carriage and drove

!landed her card town official, who, not
ruu'aturally,,, declined_ to take it. A
higher authority happened to pass and
took it upon himself to present it. As
;:non as her majesty saw it 'she said,

appeared iinQ sobi simply that she was.
very sorry` to be unable to sing at
Lett majesty's concert that she thought
it better to call herself and explain.
TLe queen was charmed with bee nat-
ural manner, gave bee a cordial recep

Jackals and Crocodile Eggs.
Jio kals and hyenas are very fond of
crocodile eggs. 'The former is the more
successful poacher of the two. Na.
tives of central Africa say that the
jackal has sixteen' eyes, with one of
which he watches the eggs and with
the•fifteen others he looks out for the
crocodile. The hyena, on the other
Eland, being very greedy, has all his
eyes on the eggs and so often falls a
victim to the watchful crocodile in mo-
tionless hiding. The natives say, too,
that the crocodile sometimes knocks
its prey off the bank or off the canoe
with its tail and then seizes it with its
wide open jaws.
The Earth and Man Compared.
If it were possible for a man to con-
struct a globe 800 feet in height—much
less than twice the height of the
Washington monument—and to place
upon any portion of its surface an
atom one four thousand three hundred
auci eightieth of an inch in diameter
and one one hundred and twentieth of
an inch in . height, it would correctly
denote the proportions man bears to
tbe gigantic globe upon which he
stands.

1,, PEP:$lA'S NATIONAL DRINK.
$herbe•tIs the Popular Beverage In
That Thirsty Country.
The great beverage in Persia is sher-
bet, which. is plentifully supplied and
of which there are many varieties,.
from tbe bowl of water with a"Squeeze'
of lemon to the clear, concentrated
juice of any sort of fruit to ayhiebewa-
ter is added to dilute it.
The preparation of sherbet, which is,
done with the greatest care, is a very
important point in so thirsty a country
as Persia and one to rvhieh muoh time
is devoted, It may be either expressed
from the julep of4ruit freshly' gai!.)-
ered or trona ' the peesery'ed extract i1t'
pomegranates, cherries or lemons, mix-
ed with sugar and submitted to a cer-
tain degree of heat to preserve it to(
winter eonsu nptiou.
Another sherbet niuclt drunk is cail'ii
guzangebben, It Is made from III
honey of the tamarisk tree. O'i;is houn;t
is not the work of the
product of a small insect or norm lie
ing to vast number:; funder the ler Vee
of the shrub. Devito; the months ei
August and September the !uveas etre
collected and the honey is preserved
When used t'or sherbet it is mixed raitf,
vinegar, and, although not so delIelotrs
as `that ruacle from fruit, it makes all
excellent temperance t,everage•
Only among {he !eel! ;lull fashionable
are glasses used. In all other cases
sherbet is served in china howls`
and drunk from deep wooden spoons
carved in pear wood.
SOLDIERS' UNIFORMS.
They Are Not Khaki, but "Cotton 0
D;;' or "Wool 0."D.
In speaking, of the uniforms worn by
the soldiers in the regular army and
the militia do not speak of them as
khaki, It is incorrect, .says the Han
sas City Star, because the soldiers do
not wear khaki, and, besides, the sol
Biers are not at 01111011,W to the word
The uniforms worn now are deserilb
ed by the war department as "Cotton,
0, D." or ")fool 0. De' The "0. D."
means olive drab and is descriptive of
the color of the uniforms. Cotton uni-
forms are worn i the smuttier andwool in the winter.
Khaki is a ward of Ensr Indian ori-
gin, meaning: dusty, and comes from
the word khat, 11015 ing dusty. It le 0
clay or dust colored cloth, originally'
coaling from Dacia. It was first worn
by the native British troops and later
by all British troops serving abroad or
on campaign.
It was later adopted by the United
States government for both tieid and
colonial service because of its service
able qualities and because it was sni,
posed to make it harder for the enemy
to detect soldiers. The color of the
uniforms was supposed to merge into
the color of the ground.
Khaki is ,lighter in color than oliva
drab, and the khaki cloth is said to be
superior to the cotton uniforms now be
ing worn in the a rwy.
The Church .of Gold.
There is no structure just like tit.
Mark's, in Venice, in the world. Its
bulb shaped domes and minaret -like,
belfries remind the visitor of the ori
eut. It seems more like a Moihaw-
meclau thanes Christian temple. In the
facade are scores of variously colored
marble columns, each one a monolite
ansI all possessing an eventful history.
Some are from Ephesus, others from
Smyrna, others from Constantinople
and more than one even from Jerusa-
lem. St. Mark's is the treasure house
of Venice, a place 00 pride as well as
prayer. The work ofbeautifyingthis
old church was carried on for five cen-
turies, and each generation tried to
outdo all that had preceded it. The
walls and root are so profusely covered
with mosaics and precious marbles that
it is easy to unclestancl why St. Mark's
has been called the "Church of Gold."
Galilei and the Swinging Lamp.
The boy Galilei, sitting with hun-
dreds of others 11 the Cathedral of
l'isia on a Sunday horning, saw an at-
tendant draw aside I sa heavy, hanging
]amp to light it and then let it swing.
Many other eyes saw the same thing,
but there was only that pair in Galilei's
head which really observed what hap-
pened. He alone noticed that as the
swings of the..huge lamp became small-
er and smaller they' -always took the
same time. • He proved it by counting
them withhis pulse. He had made a
great 'diseovery, out of whicb grew the
pendulum clock and the accurate meas-
urement• of time.
Praise For.the Growlers.
"The growlers," says a Georgia phi-
losopher, "are the boys that keep the
world moving, for when folios are
groCvling all the time the world stops
to asic the reason and straightway finds
a remedy for the trouble. If the world'
paid any attention to the , optimists
things would be ata standstill. Tail-
ing it for granted that everything's
p K is the end of progress."
Distinguishing Marks.
"My dinner coat needs a button Ju-
lia. Please attend to it tonight."
"But I can't tell.. your dinner coat
from your breakfast jacket, dear,"
"Why, the breakfast jacket has eggs.

HEART DISEASE.
N KECENT YEARS the number of cases and deaths from disorders of the
heart, have markedly increased. In Ontario the ratio of deati,s is ,s'
steadily risen during the last decade, and as a cause of death or;,a tie
heart disease now heads the list. A certain amount of the ince as -nay
be set down to better diagnosis and more accurate statistics, but these
facts will hardly account for the remarkableincrease during rec•:u: years.
What can be clone about it? In the first place means must be taken to.
establish not an early diagnosis ; 4y' ra
ORG"sNIC HEART DISEASE earlier diagnosis. Every man or wosiaa
who has reached the age of ? 0 year; sheuel
be examined by a physician; and the physician must not, as is s , ; et::uc:s
done, slur over the examination and hastily conclude that the symi,ta-.is are
those of dyspepsia.
s
What symptoms and signs are the most important in the t- ting -
diagnosis of heart disease? Among the most important are ' .'•ri^:-as,.
lassitude, anti decreased ambition. If these are complains l of it should
lead the physician to make a most careful -x
RECOGNITION OF tion. Then there may be a tendency toward; ert. '„e
73L' Ai;'1' TROUBLE lessness .in hurrying to a street -ear, or in go'ng up
hill or upstairs, or there may be a sense of glatn 4s'
or pain in the ` chest which disappears following a few min. f•,.s' rest
There` may or may not he palpitation. So 'laetimes there is a sligiit`;pu'llaess

Physical examination may disclose some t slvtilar trouble, or th-,
a sligh_ change in the character of the Lit sound with a slight inereaso in
cardiac duilecss or some irregularity in the pulse. : The condition of t'ia
arteries and pulse must be carefully noted, and the urine dine':!, as "a

the way for such treatment as will delay or prevent further progae,s. , e

early recognition of tuberculosis. By detecting it in the early c'. it 1s
usually possible, by proper diet, exei'cis'. and regulation of wort:, to add
years or 'decades of useful activity to one's life.
Twelve miles up Dufferin street from ..he City of Toronto, on tee banks
of the circuitous Don; River is a pretty stir'tch of broken land, en Spi';s'ng
some, fifty acres, . is the site of the Connaught Laboratories which
are destined to be a bright spot in i future
CONNAUGHT public .health history of this fair Province. A :- soon as
LABORATORY the buildings, now in course of construction, are com-
pleted all the variousserums in use at the present tin,
in the prevention of disease will be manufactured here. The rolling pas-
tures will accommodate the horses necessary for the blood serum used in
the preparation of diphtheria and tetanus antitoxins and of anti rnoaringil?s
serum. Here, too, will be prepared smallpox vaccine and Pasteur preven,-
tive treatment of rabies, The land and i+uildings .necessary for this pur-
pose are a gift • from Colonel Albert Goodorham to the Provincial tJn.iver-
city, which makes and supplies these products for the Provincial hoard of
Health, and which are in turn supplied by the Board free of cost to the
people of the Province, No better work is being done for the public any-
where in the civilized world, and the Board. is much gratified by the
numerous letters and words of appreciation of this enterprise which come
from the medical profession and the people of Ontario. The generous 'gift.
of Colonel Gooderham, it is hoped, will be but the beginning of a series of
similar gifts to public health work in Ontario, which can only be success
1u11y carried out by money, which after all jridicidusly used is the chief
factor, in the prevention of disease.
