Experience shows, however, that the deepest parts of the Mediterranean,. for instance, appear not black, but intensely blue.

He has found that warmer currents ry passing through pure , d .ter interrupt its transparency, even when the difference of temperature is very slight.

Among the Persians at the time of Cyrus the boys were taught to ride, to speak the truth and to draw the bow. That meant manliness, truthfulness and courage, all essential to the character of a gentleman. The knights of chivalry, who were the gentlemen of their time, added the duty of rescuing the oppressed and distrssed and this completed the ideal by teaohing unselfishness and ser - 'vice. If a boy is taught to be always self-respecting, courageous and truthful and invariably considerate, not outward- ly but as the expression of true kindli- ness of spirit, of the rights and feelings of others he will grow up, whether ho be rich or poor, a professional man or a laborer, to have the right to claim not by any artificial distinction but in. his own right, with all that it implies, "the grand old name of gentleman."— Washington Post. -reeve tilinard's Liniment Cures Colds, etc. Trench Wealth Well Distributed.

The fact that France is able to hold sub- stantially all her own public debt, to fin- ance her own industrial enterprises, and stilt have so much left for outside investment is a remarkable evidence of the thrift of the French people. One reason for the great prosperity of the French people seems to he the general distribution of wealth among the population, Iarge fortunes •and great industrial cobinations being eomparatively few in num- ber.

Twentieth Century Death Rate of Babies Would Satisfy Him, In one summer there were 52,837 in- fants' deaths in the huge towns of Eng land,. the rate being 275 in 1.000 for the same period. Frequently during Summer the hospitals for children in London are taxed beyond their capacity. In Birm- ingham more than 3,000 babies die an- nually, • Germany has a record which, the World Today says, is astounding for that do- mestic country, where all young women are supposedly learned in the domestic arts. Two million children are born in one year, and yet as many as 400,000 die before one year old, making the -rate for the German Empire 200, In pretty -Mun- ich, where it would seem that conditions are favorable for public hygiene, the death rate has been as high as 419, an average of 324 in 1.000. Onr own country makes little better record, for in the district of Columbia the record in 1900 was over 277.1, other States being a little lower. but still too high. In Massachusetts eight cities aver- aged 180 to 304, and New York was about 159, almost all the New 'England States being higher. From various British reports it is learned that improper feeding is the prime cause of the great mortality among infants under one year of age, and in a German record of investigation the statement is made that of the. 4,07.1 deaths of infants which oceurred in Munich in the ',year 1903, 3.395 were bottle-fed, which would show conclu- sively that artificial feeding. has its very serious side largely because of the "un- clean" milk given,.

Thre'carcity of long gloves is the cause, and buyers are expecting another year of big business in these lengths. Skins have advanced in price and are not like- ly to again be as low as formerly. In many cases it is said that the increase amounts to 70 and even as high as 00 per cent, over last year's prices. The storm centre at present. However, is over fabric gloves. No orders can be taken by manufacturers, importers or jobbers for long silk gloves during the next ninety days.

Unwritten Law That Commands Their Destruction. For obvious reasons It was natural that the Spanish should be anxious to secure the bomb which did not explode when thrown at the royal cople. There was a reason behind the desire to nip in the bud chance of further damage, There is an unwritten law 1n the reigning houses of Europe, says the London Standard, that all relicts of attempts upon royal lives, as well as the Instruments used for treating the wounds caused in such attempts, shall be destroyed, There was a solemn assembly in Genova of Austro-Hungarian officials to witness which caused the death of Emprees Elizabeth and of the surgical implements used In making the post-mortem examination, The custom is based to a certain upon superstition, but more solidly upon the de- termination to prevent the relics from fall- ing Into the hands of exhibitors of such tragic trifles. The custom in this matter once was to grind to pieces the weapon which had been employed.

The Spanish peasants imagined that there must ben 'magic in the blade. So a Cabinet was specially summonad to deal with the crisis, and it was deter- mined to submit the steel to the influence of acids.

The decision to use gas instead of the electric are for the artificial lighting of the new station at victoria marks an- other stage in the 'duel between the two illuminants. Few of us, perhaps, realize how long that duel has been in progress. It is nearly fifty .years since the aro light was used in the building of West- minster Bridge; it is nearly thirty years since it first illuminated Waterloo Bridge a portion of the Embankment and the entrance of the Gaiety Theatre. Since those early days it has passed through man ystages of improvement, but at each o fthem it has been met by a correspond- ing improvement in gas lighting, and it has had a head struggle to keep a place in London streets. <lpparentiy even the rosy glow of the "flaming' 'arc fails to illuminate the atmosphere of darkest London as successfully as pressure gas; and it is more expensive. But if electricity cannot .hold its own in the lightiw of large open spaces in London, theM is a steadily widening field for it indoors. The time is near at hand when, with the cheapening of the discovery of a more economical fila- ment for the incandescent lamp, the use of gas will be confined to the kitchen and the street.. 1Vlinard`s Liniment Co., Limited: Dear Sirs,—This fall I got thrown on a fence and hurt my chest very badly, so I could not work, and it hurt me to breathe.

Forty years ago there were 350,000 negroes in the Northern States; to -day there are 1,000,000. Then 7.8 per cent. of the total number of negroes in the country lived in the north; now more than 10.3 per cent. live here. This fact is the more significant when it is re- membered that the negro does not flour- ish in the north. The bith rate here barely equals the death rate.

Within the last few weeks the shafts of the New Chum railway at Bendigo, Victoria, have been sunk to a depth of over 5,300 feet and the quartz there tapped has been sampled and crushed, with the result that a yield of gold equal to an ounce per ton has been obtained. The operations in the mine have been tested by government of- ficials in view of the fact that never be- fore in the world's history has gold been obtained from so low a depth as three quaters of a mile.—London Chronicle.

It is stated that the estimate of the money needed by the Russian Govern- ment for aid to the famine -stricken pro- vinces would amount to nearly 840,000,- 000 this year. The peasants are stare- ing partly in oonsoquence of lack of land to cultivate, partly because of specially bad crops this year. Meanwhile the rent of land is steadily rising. According to the latest report of the Peasants' Bank the average rent per desiatiu rose in twelve years from 39 rubles to 108 ru- bles. No wonder that the cry of the peasants is for "land and liberty." And the only reasonably fertile land remain- ing is that of private owners, the public domain being mostly swampy or forest land.—New York Times. ikon' s FLY A S THE ONLY THING THAT KILLS THEM ALL AVOID POOR IMITATIONS.
