NURSING THE NEW CRAZE. Fashionable Soeiety at London Has Taken it Up. The fashionable craze of the hour in London, England, is nursing. A good deal is being made of the fact that "Nurse Griniston," who has entered a. braining home at Bow in the East -end of London. happens to suth force that she reeled, totter- ed, and then fell, Backward she went, turning heels over head, and making several com- plete somersaults, but still holding on to her precious burden. with both hands.

As a matter of fact, the peerage has supplied a good many recruits to the profession of nursing in the ,last few years. Lady Esher's first aid classes have given an impetus to the move- ment, while the practical interest in nursing institutions which Queen Alexandra has repeatedly shown is also largely responsible for the hold which the vocation has taken on the minds of women who are orominent socially. One of the best known society mimes is Lady An- nesley, who becarae deeply interest- ed in hospital work and spent much of her time in the wards of the City of Dublin hospitals. But for her marriage she would have adopted nursing as a profession, and in the end she founded a village hospital in the grounds of her home in Coun- ty Down, Lady Hermorde Blackwood, a marquis' daughter, and sister of Lord Dufferin, is president of the Irish Nursing Association, and among earls' daughters who have been to the fare in the nursing movement are La,cly Katherine Stanhope, Lady Rosalind North- cote, Lady Griseldo Cheape, and Lady Maud Keith -Falconer.

Flatt- ening thither, he slew jehoram, as well as Ahaziah, king of Judah, who WAS present, and, riding up to the palace, ordered the ruthlees assassination of Jezebel, who had survived her husband, Ahab, twelve years.

Jehoash did that which was right—After tlie death of Jehoiacia, who for some years after the coro- nation continued as guardian for the young king, Jehoash is said. by the chronicler (13 (throe. 24) to have departed soinesvhat from the way in whith he had been instructed at oaonmerpireattee,f rtohme at, eereollitgliooints pwoaisntnootf view, for Jehoash still permitted the high places (hilltop sanctuaries of Baal), and leniently winked at the heathen sacrifices of the people (3). 4.

These savings go into other Avenues beeides the mere pule:Matte of setheities. In 1906, according to a writer in Hoody'e Mageoiets, German invest- ment in foreign eonntries, outside of holdings of seettrities, amounted to about 9,225 millions of marks (2,201.0 millioes of doilars), in which the United States and Canada were represented by at least 2,750 mil- lions of marks ($558,300,000). The holdings of foreign securities were estimated at more than sixteen billions of marks or some millions less than four billions of dollars. The real aggregate of all invest- ments, however, is higher still than these figures express, as not all German participation in cominercial or financial enterprises in foreign ecoolitinntteies could be taken into acs Scarcely anywhere in the world is a large issue brought out without the German capitalists being invited to participate. Only a short time ago a, large Hungarian loan was placed in Germany and oversub- scribed for several times, a Turkish bond issue of large- amount was willingly taken, and just when "the emigration of German eapital,"- as they used to eall it over there, was being discussed in connection with the proposed listing of St. Paul shares on the Berlin exchange papers reminded the banks that they had to be in readiness for the Chilean loan soon eo be expected. The large German banks have been repeatedly ulamed for their assisting this emigration of capi- tal, and the present situation, os- tensibly directed against listing of some American papers, but really aimed at not keeping available funds at home, again is an attack on -the banks. Wily NEGROES ARE BLACK. -- Food Determines Color, Says a Ger- man Professor. What makes the Caucasian white, the negro black and the Indian red? One explanation is that the black ,races are made so as a result of coritinuous exposure to sunlight, but this theory does not seem to hold goixl throughout. A German professor, Dr. A. Berg- feld, has just written a book in which lie attempts to prove that it is all a matter of feeding. He points out that in the animal and insect world color is often determined by fetid, and he argues by chemical process the same results are shown in the different human races. He thinks that the original man was black, as his principal diet must have been vegetarian. Fruit and vegetables contaiu manganates which ally themselves with iron, making' a dark brown combination. Dr. Bergfeld says that /legatees who add meat and milk to their vege- table fare are never as dark as those who only eat vegetables, Indians are red because they have absorbed for generations be - cum, the red substance in t of animals killed for foo NEWS FROM SUNSET COAST Tut WESTERN PEOPLE ARE DOING, 'Progress of the Greet West Tel4 In a Few Pointed Item% Ohilliwack is building a 817,000 city hall.

The priest was ordered to place a, chestat the entrance to the temple, beide the altar Of burnt offering Which occupied a commending place in the midst .of the outer court.

MANY RECRUITS ADDICTED. Most of the recruits are addicted mere or less to the absinthe habit) before 'they are called op to serve the colors, and -it has been found that in the district); "Where absinthe is most popular as many ae-50, per cent. of the young men called en are unfit and have to be rejected. - An army officer has declared that in the garrisons are innumerable raen physically umfit, the hoeNtale are filled with invalid soldiers, while every prison has an alarmieg proportion of insubordinates, Curiously enough, it was threugh the army that absinthe was first troduceel into France. During the Algerian War that came to a close about 1847, the troops suffered severely from malaria, and the army physicians urged the soldiers to take a little absinthe, as a eafe- guard against the fever. The he diers liked the flavor of thes newol d - drink, and continued to consume large quantities even after their return to France. The vogue of the new drink was spread, and very soon the manu- facture of absinthe betaine a flour- ishing inelustry. The liquor is pre- . pared by pounding together the leaves of wormwood and some other herbs, and afterwards soaking them , in alcohol for about a week. When distilled, this compound gives the emerald -colored liquor that is the cause of so much misery in Femme. HOW IT IS DRANK. Some people are said to ,drink the green liquor neat, but it is .thearly always diluted with water. The water is added very elowly in order to avoid a chemical reaction that would make the tumbler as hot as the globe of an electric lamp. The usual way is to place on the top of the tumbler containing the absinthe a -saucer with a small hole in the bottom. This hole having been covered with a lump of sugar, the water is poured into the saus cer and allowed to filter slowly through and drip down amongst the absinthe. Sometimes the lump of sugar is held over the tumbler itt a. perforated teaspoon and the water is slo-wlypoured over it. The mixture produces a, greyish, elondy liquid. Public opinion in France against absinthe has become so etrong that the manufacturers ha -ye introduced a new kind in which this cloudy appearance le intensified to make the liquor look like milk, so that the habitue inay drink it without reproach. When taken ie excess abeinthe quickly deranges the digestive or.. gans and destroys the appetite. An unappeasable thirst takes posses- sion of the victim, The next stage produces delusions and unbearable mental depressioe, and, finally, lunacy. HORRIBLE DREAMS. Equally horrible is the fate of ehe man who avoids orgies .and drinks his absinthe in smaller but regular doses. His face gradually becomes sallow and 'careworn, anti his hair begins to drop off. Next come mus- cular quiverings, especially of the arms and shoulders. Los of brain, power follows, and he is haunted by horrible dreams awe delueions. Gradeally paralysis overtalces eiin and lands him in ,a, merciful grave.
