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 :•might to Buckingham palace. She !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, -.admit her by all means." Jenny Lind. 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 1:uri'and promised to be her friend 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. Lazy Larks. Investigation has ruined the lark's' reputation for early rishig.

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.

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.

S. McGtJLLOUGH, t1.D., D.P.H., CHIEF O!HF'ICI t ON THE PROVINCIAL BOARD OF ;HEA.LTYI. 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.

If ca,r.ia1 examinationdenotes some cardiac; affection, its early recognition n'11 rave the way for such treatment as will delay or prevent further progae,s. , e prompt auci ready detection of heart d's ase is just as important .ta tbe 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. a * * :::, 4• ---Fleas, d.S.G♦, Hamilton.
