Those who will persist in closing their ears against the continual recommenda tion of Dr. King's Xew Disoovery for Consumption, will have a long and bitter fight with their troubles, if not ended earlier by fatal termination.

I'l'lMonrrm St'ii t en om1 to Solitary Cmi fiueim'iit in rrancc ot Allowed to !M':iU, lleiid or Work. The Law Times makes the following comment on the sentences passed on the Humberts, the notorious French swindlers: "Some of the comments in the press on the sentence passed on Mine. Humbert and her htisbaiul (the other pair of culprits came off more lightly) betray a very imperfect appre ciation of its nature. Five years' re clusion, or solitary confinement as it is understood in France, is not only a rigorous but a terrible penalty. Our own code offers no parallel to it and it is probable that a life sentence of penal servitude in this country would be far more easily endured. The solitude of the prisoner in reclusion is all but ab solute. The strictest silence is enforced. Presumably the consolations of religion whatever that may amount to in so dreadful a situation are not entirely withheld; otherwise the prisoner is for bidden to speak, even to his guardian. Books are denied and (which must be almost the worst infliction of all) the most complete idleness is enforced; no employment of any description may mitigate the appalling vacancy of days, weeks and years. Half an hour's ex ercise is allowed daily, in a hood which covers everything exc ept the eyes. This horrible life in death may end in the tomb, but it is more likely to end in the padded cell of the maniac." WHAT IS A FLAT? Tired Woman Defines It nnd Also Telia How It la DlatluKulalied from an Apartment "Won't some one please enlighten me as to the difference between a Hat and an apartment?" plaintively inquired a woman who had just moved to the city at an afternoon tea. Everybody was willing to enlighten her, says the Chi cago Tribune. "Why, of course," said one, with an experienced air; "the flat has a set of speaking tubes and whistles and bells and things. When you want to get in you ring the bt1 and the door clacks, and you go in before the clacking stops. At an ai-iirtment house there is a hall boy to k-t you in, and usually an ele vator and telephone bsides " "No, you're wrong," came from a tired-looking little woman In a corner. "Those arc only mere surface differ ences. A Hat and an apartment may both have none or all of those things. The only real, heartrending difference is this: In a flat, it is not considered a heinous crime to have children; in an apartment it is. That's all. I've been hunting vines and fig trees late ly myself, and I know. None of the fig trees I looked at would tolerate my olive branches; guess they don't grow in the same gardens any more outside of the Bible." CANCER AND LEPROSY. Forma of Dlaeaae That Still Baffle Skill of the Ablest Doctor In the World. The king of England haa shown spe cial interest in the promotion of re searches as to the causes and the treat ment of cancer, and generous subscrip tions have been made for thorough in vestigations and experiments, says the New York Tribune. Every step for ward for the relief or mitigation of human sufferings from this mysterious disease will be welcomed -eagerly. Can cer, advanced tuberculosis, leprosy and rheumatism in its worBt forms still baf fle the skill of the ablest doctors in the world. It Is of interest to note, however, that Prof. Hutchinson, of Eng land, who has given many years of ex haustive study to the origin and devel opment of leprosy, is now even more positive than ever before in his con viction that t'-:e eating r.f fish which has become putrid, or in last in part spoiled, is a prolific agency in the in crease of the number of lepers. He sets forth argnrrtf nt in pnpport of his contention which are ao plausible, at leaet. that health officials all over the globe ought to be persuaded to adopt the rrot rigorous measures to prevent the sale and consumption of sea food 'which la in the least degree tainted. WOMEN LAWYERS IN FRANCE. Admission of Ladles to liar Una IId Ciood Hult on Kunnera of OppoalnK Advocntea.

SCOTLAND'S GREAT CANAL. L'ndertnkliiir Will Sav Hundreds of Mllea nnd Cost If 50,000,000 liig UiiKiuevrlng Feat. as was recently stated in a cable dis patch, the plans for the construction of a ship canal between the Firth of Forth, on the east of Scotland, across to the Kiver Clyde, on the west, have been definitely arranged. The canal will cost $"('.0(i),0!f, but powerful support is ex p. c;ed lrcm flu British government. One of the great engineering features oi the scheme will be the carrying of the cnnal near the Loch Lomond end. Fre quent passing places will be made. An indication of the saving in dis tance that would be effected by the canal, says an exchange, will be gained from the following figures: From the Clyde to ports on the east coast of Scot land, northeast of England, and north west of Europe the distance saved would be from 529 miles to 238 miles. From the Firth of Forth to ports on the west coast of Scotland, northwest of England, Ireland, America and the Med iterranean the distance savtd would be from 4S7 to 111 miles. From Tyne ports to the St. Lawrence river the dis tance saved would be 150 miles. From the west of Britain and northeast of Ireland to middle western ports ol the continent the distance saved would be from 377 to 98 miles. RECORD-BREAKING RUN. Rnglneer XV nm Offered Fifty Dollara a MiuuU for Every Min ute Gulned Over the Schedule. There is a little story connected with the record-breaking run of the Lowe special over the Santa Fe, Chicago to Los Angeles, In less than 53 hours, which is not generally known. It is related that Mr. Lowe offered the engineer who hauled the train from 3au Bernardino to Los Angeles on the home-stretch of 60 miles the sum of $50 a minute for every minute gained over the schedule. Engineer Warboy turned the wheels at a 50-second clip for each mile to Pasadena, but had to slow down in the suburbs of Los Angeles, lie pulled into La Grande station, Los An geles, just G2 minutes after leaving San Bernardino, gaining nine minutes on the whirlwind schedule and thereby earn ing $450 extra pin money. The Santa Fe passenger department will soon publish a pamphlet giving full details of the swift flight of the Lowe special, which in several instances ex ceeded 90 miles an hour. An average of nearly 43 miles an hour was maintained, in the face of having to cross four high ranges of the Rockies, and with little previous selection of engines or crews. MENACE OF THE FOREST. Continent Will Dry Up If Present De atruetlve Processes Continue Experience of Old World. The climatic history of the old world will repeat itself in America, says the National Magazine. If forest destruc tion, at ils present rate of recklessness, should coniinue much longer, our conti nent will have to dry up. So will an orator v:l o -should, venture to urge that fact upon boodle legislature, in this era of lu:-nt r trusts. But the fact re mains, arid its significance may be In ferred f re m the experience of the Medi terranean mast lands, where thousands of god gardens have been turned into Gehennas of wretchedness and desola tion. By tre destruction alone a terri tory of 4,r,tr:'i,ooo square miles has been withdrawn from the habitable area of our planet. The physical history of the eastern hemisphere is the history of a desert that originated somewhere near the cradle of the Caucasian race in Bac- tria. perhaps, and. spreading westward and souihvr.rd. has blighted the Edens of throe- coi tinr-nts like a devouring nre and is i.ow s-corching the west coast of Africa ami sending its warring sand clouds far cnt to seaward.
