One time during a prolonged illness he was et in palled to remain in ',led for many weeks and during this tilne conceived a liking for lying snugly ensconced in warm bleu stats, free from the caprices of the wea ' ther and protected'froin the perils of catching another cold, 'After his illness the professor was seized with a senseless dread of taking cold and insisted upi;n ' keeping his bedroom •windows Closed down, tight, and from that time until his Berth spent practically all of his time in bed, where he did all his regular work and ate his three meals a day. So very odd was he that in examining written exercises by the students he re- fused to touch the paper upon which they were written until it had first been. • warmed over the stove. It is claimed that the professor's death was actually caus- ed by a visit from an old gentleman on a stormy day who desired an interview with him. This latter incidentally entered the chamber of the professor with his clothes covered with snow, a sight which aggravated the professor and he ordered his visitor •to leave the room at once. Unfortunately the visitor was quite deaf and misunderstood him, approaching nearer to the bedside of the angry pro- fessor. Herr Oedmwnn became greatly al- armed and in his frantic excitement broke a blood vessel and expired. He Knew Enoti`gh. Papa—Is the teacher .latisfiea with you? Toby -0, quite. Papa—Did he tell you so? Toby—Yes after a close examination he said to me the other day, "If all my schol- ars were like you, I would shut up my school this very day." That shows that I know enough.

Herkimer James, the well-known sci- entist, was talking in New 'York about the bill of $25.000 that Dr. Frank Bat- /nes presented to the Marshall Field es - tae. "It seems a big fee," said Prof. James, "But whenever physicians' fees seem ex- tortionate I think of a certain famous eye specialist. ".A. patient of this specialists, coming to pay his bill, growled: "'Doctor, it seems to me that $500 is a bigcharge for that operation of mine. It didn't take you over half a 'minute.' "`My dear sir,' the other answered, `in learning to .perform that operation in half a minute I have spoiled over eleven pecks of such eyes n.s .yours.'"

MARVELLOUS CURE OF BURLS, Zam.Buk has been called "the work- er's friend" because it brings such .re- lief and healing to workers who suffer from cuts, burns, bruises or any skin injury or disease. Mr, Alf. J. Clark, of Cavendish street, London, .Ont,, tells how Zara -Bilk cured him of severe burns. He says: "I got my hands very severely burned with line. The burns were so deep that, as I plied my shovel the blood actually ran down the handle. The, agony I suffered you may well imagine. I tried several different kinds of salve, but the burns were too severe for these preparations to heal. "I obtained a supply of Zam-Buk, and the very first application gave nie ease. This pleased me, you may guess, but as I applied the balm each day I was more and more pleased with the effect. pletelyThe pain was relieved cons - "I had often heard of Zam-Buk, but thought before I tried it that it was similar to the ordinary salves you see advertised. In a very short time Zam- Buk healed my burns completely, and my head actually felt better — teh muscles more firm and the skin in bet- ter condition than before I was burned." Not only for burns, but for cuts, bruises, sprains, etc., Zam-Buk is the best and surest cure. It also cures eczema, ulcers, abscesses, ringworm, boils, eruptions, poisoned wounds, chapped or cracked hands, cold. sores, chilblains, bad leg, piles, etc. All druggists sell at 50c. a box, or post free from the Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, on receipt of price. 6 boxes for $2.50. ase v Manufactures From Sisal Hemp. Consul Golding writes from Newcastle that the Australian cultivation of sisal hemp, which is generally making its way in Queensland, has now been brought within the range of the manufacturers' and traders' outlook. The government experimental plantation at St. Helena has been producing first rate fibre, and this has now been manufactured at the Kangaroo Point Rope Works with ex- cellent results. Coils of one inch rope for shipping and other purposes, clotheslines, binding twine and lashing have all been made and placed on view in the Brisbane stores. The appearance of the articles is equal to those imported. The binding twine on a recent test bore a strain of more than 137 pounds and the lasbings resisted up to 255 pounds. TRADE MARK RE61sTEREo.

We have reformed the great Novem- ber game, and football players can now break their bones Humanely, says The Travel Magazine, but -we have not suc- ceeded in reforming the November gales. The autumn wind is an unregenerate around the Flatiron Building to -day as it was around the family clothesline in Oli- ver Wendell Holmes' boyhood. Nobody has hung a shorn lamb on that gusty. corner. But we in New York don't care. Out in the country, November bring a certain sadness with it; the dead leaves swirl, sometimes oust of the gray sky comes a spit of snow, the weight of coming winter rests on the spirit. But here in town there is a re- compense. For every fallen flower, blos- soms an electric light bulb in an amuse- ment sign. We have returned from na- ture and the ploaeures of solitude to the pleasures of society. The last rose of summer may be fallen in the garden, but it is just being sung of by Sembrich. Oee+ Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria. Brevity Appreciated. While Archbishop Trench was dean of Westminster he delegated Canon Cure - ton to preach at the abbey on e. certain saint's day. On such days the boys of Westminster school attended service and afterward had the rest of the day as a holiday. While Mr. Cureton, on the morning of the day he was to officiate, was looking over his sermon at the breakfast table, his son asked, in a tone vibrating with anxiety; "Father, is yours a long sermon to -day?" "No, Jimmy; not very." "But how long? Please tell me." "Well, about twenty minutes, I should say. But why are you so anxious to know?" "Because, father. the boys say they will thrash me awfully if you are more than half an hour." gag Parisians' Bread. (The Bystander.) There Is no city in the world where so amok bread is consumed as in Paris. it is esti- mated that every inhabitant oats one pound a day on an average. Even in past centur- ies the French—especially -Parisians--had a horror of stale bread. And, as in those days people manufactured their own .broad; they had a ourious way of making it palatable. ,Strange as it may seem, the bread they prepared—huge round or square slabs—was used as a dish on which the moat was carved, and bore the name of "traucboirs," or "tail- leire." The 11.11004' of the meat having pene- trated into the bread imparted a pleasant taste and oreeesoes earl becoming dry. Not on Speaking Terms Lately.

SOME :ADVANTAGES OF LATIN, Reasons Why Dpotors Use Dead Tongue in Prescriptions,, Why does the doctor write his pre- seription in Latin instead of English? In t11e fust' place, Latin is a more ©x- aet and concise Language than English • and, being a dead language, does not cheap, as all living tongues do., St'*5ndly, s111eC n very large proportion of all dnugs in use are botanical, they have iii the pharmacopoeia the same names as they have in botany— the scientific names. Two-thirds of such amps, are without an Tnglish equiva- lent for their lttin navies. They. can- not, 'therefore, be indicated in English. The third mason is a very practical one. Suppodo .a physician should write a prescription in English. The patient, it is to be supposed, reads the prescrip- Isatent ,a careless or uneducated man tion, thinks he; remembers it, and so tries to get it filled from m�nemory the second time. It may, for &Stance, have called for iodide of potassium, which the perha,ps, confuses with cyanide of potas- sium. Of the first drug he can safely take • ten grains, but one grain of the second would kill him. Perhaps theabove is an extreme as- sumption, but it will serve as an illus- tration. In this respect Latin is a. posi- tive protection sand a safeguard to the patient not being able to read Latin, cannot therefore have recourse to his mThe final reason is this: Latin is a language used by scientific men the world over. No other language is so honired. A Latin prescription may be filled in any country, on the face of the earth where there is a drug store.

St. Luke's day is also called Whip Dog I day in the almanacs, which refers us to the quaint offices of dog whipper and sluggard , waiter, that used to be held generally by 1 one person attacher to every church.
