Bari and Venice have always disput- ed as to which of them possesses the authentic bones of St. Nicholas, but there would seem to be no doubt in the mind of the Russian General Bagdono- vitch, who, on seeing them, offered the Cathedral of Bari 1,000,000 rubles (about $105,000) for them, with the intention of taking them to Russia, where this saint is extraordinarily popular. It ap- pears that General Bagdonovitch was visiting Bari when he saw the relics, which are at the bottom of a species of well, the bones being crossed and water springing from them continually. He became very thoughtful, and then ex- claimed: “I will give you 1,000,000 ru- bles for them.” When those present smiled, thinking he was joking, he re- peated his offer several times, but of course it was refused. The present Czar, as Czarowitch, visited the same | relics while the cathedral was the scene of Queen Helena's abjuration of the orthodox creed and her conversion to Roman Catholicism. It is thought that the matter yAll not end here, and that the general will make further efforts to secure the bones, but, of course, he has no chance of success.—London Tel- egraph, Bible Work in Persia. Bible work in Persia has suffered a serious interruption recently in a pro- hibition of the Persian Government, which forbids the entering into Persia of either the Arablc, Turkish, Azerbi- jani and Perslan Scriptures. A con- signment sent during the last year by the American Bible Society to the Pres- byterian missionaries at Tabriz was detained at Bushire, and thus thelr admission has been refused. Protests have been made through the State De- partment at Washington, and the Brit- ish authorities have been similarly ap- proached by representatives of the British and Foreign Bible Society with- out effect, although the British and American ministers at Teheran acted vigorously from the first. In spite of this, there has been a vigorous press- ing of the work of Bible circulation on the part of the Presbyterian mission- aries at the four stations at Tabriz and Urumia, which together constitute the West Persia mission, and at Teheran and Hamadan, which combine to make the East Persia mission of the Pres- chapel of the Golden Gate Uud.!ll?:l‘ Com- y, 2476 Mission l(mg near Twenty-first. nterment Cypress Lawn Cemetery.

The disease bogey threatens to keep many a good man away from the isth- mus ,and merely because somebody has | told him that he will have only half a | chance for his life after he has worked | there a few months. There is plenty of sickness, and much of it in aggravated form, in Panama ¢t | and the other isthmian countries, but it is mostly among the natives, who are content to live and die, If necessary, | in the filth to which they have always been accustomed. The easy-going French contractor, who had more of an eye to his pocket than to the condition of the workmen who would bring the money into his strong box, winked at the lack of sanitation. If one native died, there was always another to take his place. It was rarely that the con- tractor or any of the foremen perished. The medical reports made by physi- cians from this city who went down | during the preliminary surveys give pretty fair ideas of what the conditions will be when canal building begins in earnest once more. Among those who were on the medical staff of the com- mission was Dr. John P. Gunion of this city, and of his observations he says: CONDITIONS NEAR THE COAST. “In the vicinity of the coast the health conditions are, during both the wet and dry seasons, quite good, my observation being that those who exgr- cised ordinary hygienic precautions had little more to fear of serious ill- ness than though they lived in a tem- | perate city, Washington for instance. I was with the Darien exploration par- ty for parts of both seasons, and during neither was the temperature so high as I had been led to believe it would be. Indeed, many August days in this city | are far more oppressive than the worst of the isthmian days. “Back from the coast the health con- ditions are not at all bad, especially on the high ground, of which there is plenty. In short, you may live or die, | the choice being largely with the indi- vidual. The man who lives in the cities has to face worse days than the one who goes back into the country. Sani- tation is the thing last thought of in | the cities. What would be considered absolutely essential in even the most graft-ridden American municipality has not yet penetrated the ease-loving of- | ficial in Panama. Every man does as | he pleases, with no one to criticize or reprove him. The American Indian liv- ing in a tepee on the plains, with no white man to instruct him, knows more of the right way of living than the in- dolent revolutionist of the isthmus. To- morrow Is always time enough for him to take up any proposed reform, unless it be a revolution. Into this he enters heart and soul, with no thought for the welfare of his body should he be strick- | en in battle. His family for generations back has fought fever, and he expects to do the same until it conquers him. WORSE IN CITIES THAN OUTSIDE “From an understanding of these facts it is conceivable that disease is more prevalent in the cities. Panama .City is at present rather a poor place to live, though even there it is better | than at Colon. Of tropical and other diseases these cities receive their share. So do Baranquilla, Savanilla and Carthagena, in none of which could I find anything that approached a sani- tary system. 1 saw malarial fever in its many forms, yellow fever, typhoid fever and dysentery, though not the tropical dysentery, which I found to be rare In this section. “These were the diseases which claimed victims by thousands during Dec Lesseps regime, but it should be remembered that in the heyday of the French control sanitary sclence had not attalned the relatively important posi- : tion it now has. Every recent discovery | in the great and as yet little explored | field of bacteriology has contributed its part toward placing sanitary science in its present high position. The French- Iy'nan knew nothing of the danger that | Jurked in the common mosquito. “He always realized that malarial | fever was something to be avoided if he could manage it, but he never slept under netting or drained swamps as a preventive. This is a point which the American medical force will keep to the fore all the time. Statistics for the first six months of American con- trol seem likely to show a wonderful decrease in malaria among the work- ing force. The same is true of yellow fever, for Dr. Reed’s great work in hunting down the same death-dealing mosquito as the bearer of the worst of all the scourges gives another inkling as to what must first be done by the medical corps that goes with the canal workers. “What has been done in-Havana can be, and will undoubtedly be done in Panama and Colon.

It is doubtful whether protective mimicry among animals is better ex- emplified than in the case of the fish commonly known as the marbled angler of the Sargasso Sea (Ptero- phryne histrio). Owing to its peculiar structure it is a poor swimmer and it, therefore, spends most of its life mov- ing slowly about on the bottom among corals, seaweed, etc., which these fishes closely resemble in color and in outline. They cling, too, to the | floating masses of sargassum weed with their peculiar fins, and the color markings of the fish closely resemble the weed itself. Not only does the weed thus furnish a home for this | species, but the fish actually con- structs a nest from it and therein de- posits its eggs. One of these nests, found in connection with the Hassler expedition in 1871, was described as| consisting of a round mass of sar-| about the size of two fists To all appear-, rolled up together. ances it was made of nothing but this gulf weed, the branches and leaves of which were, however, evidently knit together, and not merely tangled into a roundish mass; for, though some of the leaves and branches hung loose from the nest, it became at once vis- ible that the bulk of the ball was held | together by threads trending in every direction among the seaweed. By close observation it became apparent | that this mass of seaweed was a nest, the central part of which was bound up in the form of a ball, with sev- eral loose branches extending in vari- ous directions. On still closer ex- amination the nest above descrfl:edy was found to be full of eggs, Which | were scattered throughout the mass. Nature has thus afforded a safe asylum for these somewhat helpless fishes, whose cutaneous filaments, which are plentifully provided on the belly, around the mouth and on the dorsal spine, so nearly resemble the weed itself that predaceous fishes doubtless fall to recognize the living animals, and thus the latter escape extermination.—Scientific American. ————————— The Rarest Fruit Known. The island of Jolo covers fully 320 square miles. It is of coral formation | and offers an excellent harbor to the! west. In topography it is gently undu- lating and covered throughout its en- tire length by the rankest tropical vegetation, valuable teakwood being | found extensively throughout the en- tire district. Nowhere in the world are more luscious fruits produced. Among those peculiar to this belt is; the durian, which is about the size of a muskmelon. Its exterior presents somewhat the appearance of a chestnut | burr, being prickly and tough; within, | the fruit is white and cheeselike, and | owing to this peculiarity the American soldier dubbed it “the vegetable lim- burger.” The mangosteen is another of the rare fruits. It is the size of an average orange, chocolate colored, and has a very brittle skin. Inside, four| white sections contain a colorless liduid. | the rarest fruit known, and the only one, so it iIs claimed. that Queen Vic-| toria had never tasted, there being no | way of preserving the fruit for a suffi- etent period after plucking to permit ol. shipping to any dlstance —Scientific | American. 1 —_————— Retort Courteous. During the trial of an accident case against one of the city trolley| companies an elderly lady was sum- | moned as a witness for the plaintiff. The attorney for the railroad company put her under a very severe Cross-ex- amination and tried the best he could to make her appear as ridiculous as possible. But he reckoned without his host. “Madame,” said he, “do I under- stand you to say that you were there at the time the accident happened?” “How do I ** she began. “Stop!” he cried. “Don’t indulge in any long dessertations. Answer my question, yes or no. If you don't I shall be obliged to ask the court to compel you to answer. Listen. Do | I understand you to say- > Quick as a flash the old lady re- plied: “I'm sure I don't know what you understand me to say. You may be an idiot!” After that courtesy ruled the day.— Lippincott's. - — sickness the vaccination of every em- ploye and smallpox dangers are re- duced to a minimum. Disinfecting plants are easily arranged now and medical inspections have been so sys- tematized that contagion can be checked in the briefest time. Camp ' and personal cleanliness can be in-| sisted upon. A certain police or mil- | itary discipline can even be main- tained and safety be assured all who | care to seek their fortune or gain new adventure in the isthmian lands. “Colon and Panama, as the termini of the canal, will require the greatest attention. But there is a vast amount of labor all along between these points. All that will be needed will be com- petent and plucky physicians, men who do not know fear, and the camps may be made and kept clean. Hospitals along the railroad on high ground and nurses who can stand a good deal of hard work will do the rest. Best of all, perhaps, would be a large central hos- pital in the mountains, where the heat would never be oppressive, where the mosquito would not penetrate, because there would be no excuse for his being, and where the sanitary system would be most easily arranged. With Gov- ernment assurance that these things would be of prime importance in ar- ranging for the canal work no Ameris can need be afrald of going to Pan- ama.” Cook: Book.

IMPOSING WIGS | 0F BARRISTERSf English Courts Still Adhere; to Pomps and Forms of Five Centuries or More Ago | | HEADDRESSING BY YEAR | New Styles Now Displacing | the Old and but Few Are Wearing the “Real Thing” | In the procession of judges and bar- risters with which the English law courts has reopened the wigmaker plays a conspicuous part. Holstoy has said that in some plays the maker-up is as great an artist as the actor. 1t may be that the wigmaker is as im- portant a pillar of the law as the Lord Chancellor himseif. { Wigs, like many other human insti- | tutions, are not what they were. The old wig had to be made of human hair | of a dark color, and was pomatumed and powdered every morning. An army | of dressers went down to Westminster of clients, with whom he had an annual contract. It was not a particularly en- Joyable occupation, but it meant a| steady income, which was completely cut off by the introduction of the horse | hair wig. We have wondered how tiae human hair was procured, and from ali we have learned are still at liberly to Imagine that it came from the heads of felons the advocacy of other bar- risters had brought to the scaffold. To-day Dr. Tristram, chancellor of the Bishop of London's Consistory Court, is the only considerable luminary : until very lately he was kept in count- | enance by Mr. Iderwick, K. C. The| wigs that are worn now are made of | white horse hair, with a faint admix- | ture of black. They do not require to be | powdered, and only once in half a| dozen years or so need they be recurled. | Some half dozen wigmakers in and| around the Temple and Lincoln's Inn— many of them related by marriage, and all of them of long standing—furnish | them. It seems that there is an open- | ing for a competitor. The price of a| plain barrister’s wig Is £5 5s, but it sometimes takes two or three weeks to | make. The head of Mr. Briefless is very carefully measured and the lines of his cranium marked upon the most suitable of a hundred blocks or more | that the shop contains. The proper surface is then covered with a trellis of fine silk ribbon, carefully sewn to- | gether at every point of intersection | On this trellls work the wig is care- most as closely as the owner’s scalp itself. Other industrious fingers have upon silk cord—for the crown of the head little loops, and for the back something more like cropped hair, and technically called “snap.” Hundreds | | of yards of the two kinds are sewn on to the foundation, till all is close- ly covered and then the various curls, each very nicely made, are added. Those two little curls that dangle down the back (Sir Edward Carson’s wig lacks one of them) are each madel of two sets of hair, plaited like fingers in prayer at the end, and thence curved together and so deftly knotted that | not a hair is buckled from its place. It is a long time before the average barrister comes back for a new wig. Even the man who does not care to wear a silk hat that has lost its pris- tine gloss appears cheerfully in a wig twenty years old. In fact, an old wig is often a desideratum, as it invests the head of its wearer with an ap- appearance that is sometimes contrary One of the largest of heads belonging to the legal profession is that New York Globe.
