Crying Nml For Ureal Reform, lluth Co Hoary and Oratorical. "Whenever the Prince uf Wales takes the chair at a public baniiiet, be mukes a rule that tho dinner shall not lake mora thus an hour nor the scchcs more than au hour." To this effect Is It written lu a certain piiicr. If It Is true, It Is a most wrlcomo piece of news. If It Is not inns we ought to govern our lies In the matter of public dinners exactly as If It wus true. We want short dinners and short sieches.

It was by tbe administration of oiy fea gaa that Mr. Keichilug waa given brief loose of life, and while tlila treat ment la not absolutely new In theory, no effort to tost It In practice to such an extent baa heretofore been made. Through the grounds of Mat Retch ling's beautiful home at Piedmont run a little mountain stream. While at work In It vicinity tbe millionaire contratced malaria. Congestion of tbe brain and pneumonia followed, and la their wake came valvular disease of the heart Half of tbe sick niau's lung became Closod, and H was apparent that death must soon follow from the lack of breath. The dying man begged hi physician to at least keep him alive until bl eon, traveling In Mexico, could reach hi in. There waa but one hope that of giving the patient a supply of artificial air by mean of oxygen. This plan wus at once adopted. The doctor procured a tank containing loo gallons of oxygen. At tached to this was a rubber tuba with a mouthpiece. There were two atop cock one at the mouth of the tulie, tbe other at the point where the tube Jolnnd the tank. Whenever It became evident that Mr. Kutchling us suffering from a want of breath he was required to Inhale gas from the tank.

Tlic following duy the allow-em-e wa I'isi gallon, on l'rlday night. however, there come n great change for the worse. Paralysis, followed ,y apo plexy, was Hdd.-d to the other 111 from which the patient suffered. Three hun dred gallons of oxygen was lnlinl.il on Katuriliiy, but proved of no avail. The pneumonia and vulvulur heart trouble hud been conquered by the administra tion of the oxygen, but Mr. Kelchllng' enfeebled system wns tinuble to with stand the complications, und death brought freedom from xilii on Satur day night. The wish of the patient' heart bad been gratified, however, a the son for whose presence he long.il arrived the Tuesday before his dentil. Mr. Kelch llng waa conscious and recognized the young mini, although unable to spcuk to hi m.

Manifestly, then, one of the greatest aids to naviga tion Is the protection of these batik In ucu a way as to preserve them Intact and prevent their washing.

It I a pretty lake, like most of tlie sheet of water In tbat picturesque country, and It peculiar fronk Is attributed to a dis position to celebrate tlie slaughter of liurgtimllan under Charles the Hold on June 21, U7d. Hut tlie French say that It blushes for the conduct of tlie Swim, who In that battle gave the Itur gundlans no quarter. This year It was redder than ever, aud had a sinister ap pearance when the setting sun illumin ated Its ware. ThU pheiKruienon, of course, ba Its legeud. The old fishermen of the lake, who catch enormous fish called allure that weigh between twenty-five and forty kllograma, say when they see tlie waters of the lake reddening that It la the blood of the Durgundlana. Aa a matter of fact, wtii of the bodle of tbe nurguiidlans killed In tlie battle were thrown Into tlie lake, while other were tossed Into a grave filled with quicklime. Tula historical recollection angered the Burgundlana soldier or the victorious armies of the republic In 17HS so much that they destroyed the monument raised In honor of their comiatrlots who fell heroically !rj that battle, and Henri Martin very Justly reproached them for that piece of vau- Oaiimn. It would hardly do to attribute the reddening of die waters of tlie lake to the blocs! of the soldier of Churle the Bold.

Visitors staying atta lake of tieneva this summer have hem nKtoulahed to behold the surface of tin water ornanieuted with tbe name of certain paper sparkling in golden beam upon the waves. Mow this miracle contrived waa at first a mystery, but the explanation Is very simple. black lacquered placards, with ral gilt letters conted with some varnl which resists wet, are sunk nud far tened securely to the ground, aud, oi course, the rays of the sun strlklug up on them bring the reflection to th surface. Some of tbe finest view l Switzerland are already siifflcieutl.v di- figured by ndvertlsements the major ity, be It wild with sorrow, general setting forth the superlative excellent of some article of English manufac ture; but tbe tastelessness of this late' Idea would surely be difficult to auf pass, and hnpplly It caunot lie placed t our discredit.
