PN 1 1 EIISON WATC(i DOCTOR OPPOSITE QUEEN'S HOTEL, WINOHAM, A GLIMPSE OF SMYRNA. Its Greatest Business Street is Only Fifteen Feet Wide. Let us in imagination go ashore at Smyrna from one of the great black steamships of the Messogeries Mari- times. We land on a noisy, hustling quay alt ugside of which runs a little ,one home railway. Great ships from most rl the lending ports of the world are 1:, d up to the quay by their sterns. Oa t he other side of the broad street, ,sly one in Smyrna to which this adjective can be applied, are large .t ;u•ehouses and one or two pretentious' otels. Passing through a cross street, we conte to the great business artery of the city, the so called "Frank street," which has doubtless obtained its name from the fact that so many Franks, a generic name for foreigners, do busi- ; ness on It. This street Is only fifteen feet wide., and Set it la the chief. business dint 1 oughfare of a city of a quarter or a million inhabitants. Two people stretching out their arms and touching bands in the middle could span the street, and yet through it hurries a con- stant stream of foot passengers, dash- lag cabs, stately camels, donkeys and donkey boys, beasts of burden and men of burden, carrying every conceiv- able article that people of the orient or the occident might want, for this is one of the chief cities in the world where east and west meet on a com- mon footing.—Christian Herald. GERMS IN THE BLOOD., Why Fever and Chills Alternate When a Person Has Malaria. ' When the germs of malaria—real live animals these, belonging to the order protozoa—enter the blood 'with the ea - lira of the biting mosquito they in- stoutly attack the red corpuscles, Each one eats its way into aco►.usrle • anti atter a brief rest divides himself into sixteen. 'Wax is left of the cor- puscle is now dead. It breaks down, and the sixteen new germs—plasmodia, as the doctors call them—are set free in the blood. Each of these instantly seeks out a new red corpuscle, which it attacks in the same way. This process, in the ordinary malaria, takes just forty-eight hours. When the germs are eating the red corpus- cles the temperature of the body is in- creased, causing fever. When the mul- tiplied germs are discharged into the blood the whole body feels as if chilled. This causes the shivers and shaketi that usually come every alternate day and that have given us the common niche "chills and fever." So when you have the chill you may know that your broken down red cor- puscles are discharging myriads of germs into your blood, and when the chill gives way to fever you may know that these germs are busy attacking your red corpuscles.—New York World.

The Cooper & Herman Leaving -town Sale is a very great success. It is more than we expected. Do you know why ? Be- cause everybody sees that they could never huy goods as cheap as they are buying in this sale. To prove it to you will give the following example :— • One day last week a fellow by the name of John came in to our store and bought a good Tweed Suit of Clothes, regular. $12 for $5.98, and a pair of Shoes, reg. $4 for $1.98, 2 suits of Fleece -lined Underwear for $1.40, 2 pair heavy Socks for 25c, and a pair of Overalls for 59c, reg. $t, altogether $ lc, 20 On the way to his home he met another , 116 Rubbish Hea fellow by the name of Jack. `'Hello John" greeted him TheThrew $3sum of $6,1115to in bank notes was from Jack, "What have you got in that bundle ?' `'Olt" said- discovered in rubbish in a bag as it was .being eonsil;ned to a bonfire at Juhn, "1 passed by Cooper & IIerman s store, they have a Portobello recently.

The combatants ate man anti. insect, and when the conflict is ova a new chapter in the wo.. las histo fir, will open. In South Africa hostilities are being carried an relentlessly, No sooner is a swarm of locusts, for instance, found than tidings are for to the De- partment of Agriculture at Pretoria. and, in consequence, the grass all around the swarm is sprayed with arsenic, which ultimately kills the lot:, The locust, herefore, is rapidly being exterminated, When a Peruvian ex• pert visited South Africa recently toe the pun ;se of studying the locust, the only exatmple which could be shown him wee in the museum. On the West Coast of Africa and elsewhere a still greater campaign is taking place against mosquitoes, the transmitters, it is now definitely known, of the three most terrible dis- eases which afflict humanity—mala- ria, elephantiasis, and yellow fever. If a man is bitten only once by a mos- quito, there may develop in hie blood 250,000,000 of the parasites which pro- duce ague or malaria, the disease which has slain millions. As the mosquito breeds in ponds and puddles, innumerable pools have been drained dry; and when this course has not been practicable, the surface of the water has been regular- ly covered with oil, whioh, by block- ing the syphon tubes of the pestilen• tial little creatures, has killed mil- lions. To the same end, a natural enemy of the mosquito—a little fish popular. ly known as the "million" --has been introduced into the waters of many of the West Indian and the Hawaiian Islands. The beneficent work done by the "million" was first noticed at Bar- bados, which, owing to its presence in the ponds and streams there, en- joyed immunity from malaria while adjacent islands were suffering from the scourge, Nowhere have the results of this conflict between man and insect been more remarkable than in the Panama Canal zone. When the French were engaged on that great work, one of the most serious obstacles that ine, peded them was yellow fever. The hospitals were hill of cases, and the mortality was appalling. Eighteen young Frenoh officers arrived together on a steamer, and a month later all were dead except one; while of a party of thirty-six nurses brought over in a batch, twenty-four died of fever. The mosquito, in fact, conquered the French, who lost 50,000 men in fighting against it unawares. By the time the Americans took up the work, the maleficent power of that insect had been discovered by scient- ists, and, consequently, the first thing the new -comers did was to combat it. And so successful were their efforts that the dreaded "yellow jack" is now rare in the Panama Canal region. But little Less striking has been the victory along the coastline of West Africa. This part of the African con- tinent is losing its evil reputation as the "white man's grave." Formerly. nearly every European who went there was attacked by malaria, which either killed or permanently enfeebled him. Since war was declared on the mos- quito, however, the West African coastline has become comparatively, healthy. Another pest on which a great on- slaught is being made is the tsetse fly. The record of this insect is little, if any, less terrible than that of the mosquito; for among the diseases it carries a sleeping sickness, which has swept away whole communities, and killed more than 200,000 people in the Uganda Protectorate alone. As this particular fly loves woods, etc., near water, it is being fought, in the main, by burning the ground bush along the margins of rivers and ponds and around village and encampments: All Want Irishmen. In view of a considerable reduction in the ranks of the Royal Irish Con. stabulary when the Home Rule Sill is passed, numbers of young police- men are now leaving the service in Ireland and joining the English and Scotch police. The cities of Liverpool, Manchester, Cardiff, Bristol and Glas- gow, are, for instance, absorbing these magnificent specimens of Irish man- hood as rapidly as they come along. Of course, it is common knowledge that the special department at Scot- land Yard, the headquarters of the London metropolitan police, is staffed •almost exclusively by Irishmen. Recently a high official connected with the Spanish police has been in Ireland in the hope of being able to, enlist the services of a dozen or so eligible men to join his special ser- vice department at Madrid. This is, in itself, a valuable tribute to the sa- gacity and intelligence of the Irish- man for police work. Leaving -town •Sale, so 1 went in there to have a look ‘,,t hat they got. Just to have a look, mind you, but when they showed me the stuff and told ine the prices, I could not keep myself away and bought some things. Say, do you know Jack, it is really surprisable. I don't sre how could the peo- ple afford to sell so cheap. Mind you I spent $Io.2o for what you see here, and rrally if I would go and buy these things at any other store I am certain that two times $ro.2o would not buy it. I bought ( c' upte months ago) a suit of clothes in a store and paid $to and it is not half as good as this one I paid $5 98 for," and John tore the bundle op -n and showed it to Jack, and when Jack saw this he came right clown to our store and bought an Overc )at rrg $,t i for 4 99, and a Suit of Clothes the same I:ind as John's, 2 Sweaters for his boys at soc each, teg. 1.25, 2 working Shirts at 39c each, and 3 fine Shirts for $1.0, the rt'g $ i co each.
