FERDINAND OF BULGARIA. Ferdinand, Czar of Bulgaria, has a very different temtperament. He probably owes to his Orleaniat, Saxe -Coburg and Kohary ancestry all the astuteness, audacity, and ambition, whish have eolipeed a strain of carefulness= caution, and drowsy luxury etch observable through the chinks in his armor. To the world and his people he is a reincarnation of Louis XIV., a feudal father of hie faithful Bul- gars, the heir -presumptive of the •drown of Constantino. Pompous ceremonies and imperial mantles were the joy of his life. But the naked Ferdy (as we used to call him in diplomatic circles at Sofia) was a man with a very different soul. Botany and natural history were his chief interests besides geneal- ogy and the fine arts, SHOWED STRENGTH EARLY.

The plan for the seientifie train- ing of Parisian detectives is no new thing for the detective forte in London, says the Daily Mail, , "The. system which Mr. Lepine,: Prefect of. Police, and M. Barnard, the head of the Criminal, Investiga- tion `Department of Paris, are about to inaugurate has been in full operation, here for many years," 'said one of the chiefs at Scotland; "Every officer before he joins the lowest branch of the detective ser- vice has to pass an examination in polite law -that is, what he can do and cannot do in certain given cir-' euntstanees—and he has to attend lectures dealing with crime and. criminal methods. The examining board is composed of the chief nen- stable and two chief inspectors. Be fore the officer' can ,receive promo- tion he has to pass a more difficult technical examination and also a civil service examination. ,"Every man in the Criminal In- vestigation Department is taught all about the finger print system, he is familiar with all known bur- glars' -tools and with the marks the different kinds leave on woodwork, he understands the different kinds of leeks, he can take impressions of footprints and he has received lessons in cipher reacting. At the same time certain officer's who have shown the possession of the certain qualities ,specialize in forgery and finger print caees. "As to the special studies in the psychology of crime, which are to form partof M. Lepine's plan, some of the- most serious and most baf- fling of crimes are committed by men who aro not known criminals. How would the study help in these cases? Of course, in, the case of '33i11,' the •bank -robber, or 'Jem,' the forger, or `Jack,' the jewel thief, all of whom stick to their own Math of crimes and have been con- victed many times, we know the particular methods of each man and are intimately acquainted with his method of working. In these cases the psychology of crime does Dome in. "After all, the problem set a de- tective forge is, 'Catch your crimi- nal.' Now the simple fact is that there is less undiscovered crime in London than in any other .large city in the world. That is the justifica tion of the detective methods eln- ploycd at Scotland Yard." WHEN BABY IS ILL. When baby is ill -when he is troubled with constipation, colic, worms or cold; when his teeth are bothering him or when he is rest- less and cross and does not sleep well, give him Baby's Own Tablets. They are the mother's greatest aid in keeping her little ones well— thousands of mothers give their babies no other tnedicine because they know the Tablets to, be abso- lutely safe. They are guaranteed by a government analyst to be free from opiates and other harmful drugs found in so-called "soothing". mixtures. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 26 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,- Ont. - TAMING OF II.ILLINGSGATT. How the Old Fish Market Has Been Transformed. Not more than twenty years ago Billingsgate (London's great fish market) was notorious for hooligan- ism, swearing and general disorder, So famous did the habits of the fish market become that the word "Bit- lingagate" was recognized as sufii- ciont description of any specially. shocking expression. This still sur- vives. The phrase "choicest Bil- lingsgate" is still cinnamon, and to be a "master of Billingsgate"' is still to be a master of swearing. But apparently it is timethat the word ceased to be a term of re- proach and became nothing but the description of an admirable fish market•, The Billingsgate of to -clay is prettyy well as refined ss any other market. It is anxious to bo freed from the reputation of the e!filiugsgate of twenty or thirty years, ago. In :those days there was constant swearing,: .fighting, drunkenness and horseplay. A stranger went in- to the market at his peril and was often pelted with fish, and soexi- thnes considerably, hurt. Now everything is"entirely differ- ent. Only the eerprising headgear of the fish porters survives. Every other oharactelistic has gone. It is unlikely that a better of quiet - .fir; 1: ty C :.1s. any- where than the 2,000 fleh porters. That they resent the survival of the old impression is quite. clear. " it''s time, saida salesman of thirty years' experience in the mar- ket, "that,Billingsgate and bad lan- guage weren't always put together. It's nothing but libel. -I'll gltafan- tee thatyou canwalk about here for helms and not hear a weed that you cuuid i'1 hear. inthe drawing - eaten of the Archbishop of Canter- bury. 1 wouldn't like to say as much for the meat snarket; but you never hear anything about 'choic- est Smithfield;' it's always 'choic- est Billingsgate.' "It's time we heard the last of that. Billingsgate is',s quiet as any offer plate. It's fit for any ladyy. I don't care who she is ---she could walk about here without knowing, for all the language she'd hear, that's she wasn't in her own house:" It certainly seemed that the sales- man was right, At the busy time of the morning, when there was plenty of scope far impatienee, there was nothing to support the ancient re- putation of the place.:.

In the erection of big buildings it has been the aim of the engineers, in modern times, to secure condi- tions of uniform. temperature, uni- form air pressure and uniform at- mospheric moisture and ventilation without drafts, says Harper's Weekly, but now a couple of Eng- lish engineers have oome to the con- clusion, after a careful study of the subject, that this aim is not in ac- cord with the true physiological needs of the human race. They point out that in nature the skin comes in contact with constant physical and chemical changes, There are variations in temperature and in pressure caused by the breeze; there are differences in the amount of moisture and variation in the flow of the blood to the skin. Tho writer says that the English House of Commons is ventilated by a stream of air that is taken from over the river and passed above a spray of water and thence over steam pipes which heat ib to a uni- form temperature of sixty-three de- grees Fahrenheit, allowing it to en- ter through the floor without caus- ing a draft. When the House "di- vides" for a vote the members pass into the lobbies. At the same time the air current is turned off from the chamber and passed to pipes leading to the lobbies. Strangers visiting the House, es- pecially persons from rural or from colonial regions, find the air here vett' depressing. This depression, say the experts, results, not from. the particular temperature, nor from the condition of the air with respect to oxygen, :ere., but to the fact of the uniform conditions to which the skin is exposed, The nerves in our skin need to be stimulated. Absolute rest is not congenial. It is for this reason that the smoke from a cigarette is fre- quently a relief or that a every small quantity of ozone is 80 brac- ing in shops or factories or schools. The ozone is helpful not so much because it supplies oxygen—for if present -in quantities sufficient to be smelled it is a .poison -nor be- cause it destroys organic matter; it is helpful because of its delicate stimulation of a nervous system that is tired of doing, nothing.

Are Not Playmates, " Became Their Illothei's;Ito Not: Agree. tnensldering the ' fact • :that the• , rincesses Vittoria and Helen of: Teck, the daughters of the Duke, of. Teck, Queen Mary's eldest brother, aro' about the same age as Princess Mary, it is curious that she should not find in them the playmates she has uio often. longed for, and that it has been necessary to find 'cam- paniops for her in the daughters of Lord Salisbury and the Duke of Devonshire, writes a London tor - respondent, The real reason for this 1s found in a series of disagreements which has .grown up' in the Took family— in the old White Lodge days, surely the most united family to, be found . anywhere. The original cause of the ,trouble is the Duke of Te•ek's. wife,formerly Lady :Margaret Gros - Yeller, daughter of the late Duke of Westminster. The Queen's fav- orite 'brother is Prince Alexander, known among his pals as Prince "Algy," and the—as the • Duchess considered — undue - prominenee given'. •to him, made her Highness jealous. This, of course, caused ill- feeling between the two brothers, and did not improve matters be- tween the royal house and the Tecks; eventually it reached the "little pitchers," who, never very congenial to their shy little cousin, formed an alliance : against her which the parents have been unable to break. Queen Maryand the Duchess of Teck look -at things in a totally different light. You have heard often enough of the father old-fash- ioned ideas of her Majesty; well, the Duchess is her exact opposite. The daughters of the first Duke of Westminster were always rather a go-ahead lot, and the • unfettered country life they led made them in- dependent and free and easy. Hence, it is not difficult to discover how often her Majesty and her Highness are arrayed against each other on questions concerning the education, dressing, and general bringing-up of their children. To add to the trouble, it is said that the Icing and the Duke do not often see eye to eye on military matters. The Salisburys long enjoyed the friendship of the King and Queen before their daughter was allowed to become intimate with Princess Mary. The Marchioness of Salis- bury has always been about the court since she was quite young, and on several occasions, when the King was just "Prince George," was able to help him out of quite innocent scrapes. Between these two a warm friendship grew up, which has survived to this day. s• GERMAN GAMBLING. Vice Said to have Great Bold in Berlin at Present. The recent losses and defalcations of prominent Berlin lawyers, bank managers, cash messengers and others, are calling public attention to the terrible extent to which the gambling mania prevails in modern Germany. The "Lo•kal Anzeiger" is devoting front-page space to a series of articles painting the erase in its true colors, in the hope that a moral will adorn the tale. Cards and racing, according to Herr Kurt Doerry's exposures. in the popular daily, have become an unconquer- able passion for Germans of high and low degree. Illicit betting on the races, he says,is one of the most invidious sources of evil. Tradesmen who cannot eke out a decent living sell- ing tobacco or groceries are book- makers' agents in secret, and make it easy for wage-earners of both sexes to risk ruin en the horses. The Government in the Fatherland finds itself in a rather equivocal position in any attempt' to frown upon the gambling mania, for abate lotteries are an important institution in Ger- many, and lottery gambling is not only tolerated, but actively and sleeplessly encouraged.
