At Morlaas, in the lower Pyre
nees, a hair market is held every
Friday. The village has but one
street, up and down, which the
traders walk, with long shears
hanging from their leather belts.
The girls who wish to sell their
hair stand on the doorsteps of the
houses; they let down their braids
for inspection, a bargain is struck,
the money is paid, and the braids
snipped off on the spot. The price
varies from three to twenty francs.

At Delhi there are three places
of worship raised to immortalize
the name of a certain Colonel Skin
ner.
His first wife was an English
women and persuaded him to build
an Anglican Church there. Then
he married a Mohammedan, with
the result that he built a mosque
in the same street, opposite the
church.
Last of all he married a Hindoo,
when he could not do less than
pay for the erection of a Hindoo
temple which now stands a little
way off from the others.

It appears that the Gouffre
Mountain in the Gard, France,
is moving towards that river at
the pace of five yards a day. Its
advance has destroyed the ma
chinery fnd pits of the Grande
Combe coliery,* and destroyed
nearly a mile of *he Alais railway.
The great thing now is to prepare
new channels for the Gard and
Garden Kivers, which are sure
when the landslip comes, to be
completely choked up. Six hun
dred persons have been obliged to
leave their homes at the Grande
Combe. Recently 5,000 persons
went from Nimes to see the mov
ing mountain from the range front
ing it.

V Gold in plenty may be found in
the sands of the Volao'd River—a|
stream of moderate volume that '
falls from the snov-ii • > of t e
Sierra de Si. Martini in Soutn
America. But though ti <• lowland
region and the river b< <1 v lu re the
precious metal abounds in. fabu
lous quantities an im-i’v accessi
ble, tile mosquitoes al s > till' I
and terribl. there that ultempis ,
to ritje the sands of their gold have
so far failed.
Eliseo Reclus, 'he celebrated |
French geographer, was the first
to explore the plain about the
Volador's mouth. He had thought
of establishing an agricultural
colony in the fertile lowlands, but
found the plague of insects so un
bearable that he was forced to
beat a retreat and abandon his
project. He was the discover of
this wonderful stream, whose wa
ters sweep over sands which are
literally golden . He told the hews
to the French vice-consul at Rio
Hacha, and this official obtained
the concession of this El Dorado, i
The dangers he was to encounter
he knew perfectly well. He took
with him when he set out an in- 1
geniously-constructed gauze tent <
of large dimensions. i
For two days be tried to liv» un
der its shelter and wat< h the oj> r
adons of his workmen, who toiled ’
in the stifling heat, clothed in 1
thick garments, and protected by *
heavy boots, gloves and veils. At
the end of the second day both em- ,
ployer and employes gave up the ]
struggle and retreated. The next (
who tried to wring fortune from (
these auriferous sands was an Ital- (
ion, who obtf iued permission from
the vice-consul. The Italian laugb- (
ed at the idea of mosquitoes driv
ing anyone away from a pine* '
where gold c >uld be picked up a- 1
most hy the handful. He marled
out with a party of six, who shar
ed with him his belief, and so
they took along no special protec
tion against the insects. They en
dured t< r less than half an hour
the awful torture, and then left.
They found their way back to
the Rio Hacha with difficulty, for
the eyes of five were so badly swol
len that they were blind. Yet there
are human beings who can ven
ture with impunity into this gold
mine whose guardian demons are
mosquitoes, and these are some of
the savage natives of the moun
tains from whose rocky steeps the
river falls. These savages, who ar©
mosquito proof, are rendered so by
their bodies being covered with
the scales of leprosy. Strange to
saj, the mosquitoes will not touch
them. But neither gold nor the
fascination of civilization will
tempt them to labor. It is an old
and true saying that one might as
well try to get along without furs
in the Artic regions as without
mosquito nets in the tropics.

| There is at ihe present momw t in
i America, sav' - the San Francisco
'( •rom< l ‘, a German n ibleinau of
ancient lineage, a Court We
del, who was forced to expatriate
himse f many years ago for having
had the misfortune to kill in a
I duel a royal personage.
The count, who was chief of the
household of ex-King George of
Hanover, and his most devoted
and trusted follower, became in
volved,Jwhile in attendance upon
the exiled monarch at Vienna, in
some discussion with his master’s
neph-w, Prince Solms. Ths latter
lest his temper completely and
struck the latter in the face.
Wedel had two courses open to
him, either to iaduae the prmce
to fight e duel with him or blow
out his own brains, much in the
same manner as the Japanese no-I
blemau are wont, in times gone bv |
to commit barikari when subject'd
to any indiguitv the stain of which
they were unable to efface on the
spot by shedding their adversary s
blood.
Several instances could be men
tioned in which notions of* this
kind have led to the suicide of
officers In continental armies, and
the present Emperor of Germany,
the late Prince Charlea of Prussia,
brother of old Emperor William,
the late Crown Prince Rudolph of
Austria and the late King Alphon
so of Spain are each credited with
the responsibility of the death of
young officers in this manner.
Although Count Wedel was, in
the eyes of unprejudiced people,
in no wise to be blamed for the
duel, since it was agreed by all
military men that be could not
continue to wear his officer’s uni
form while leaving unavenged the
blow, which he had received, yet
li- was bitterly reproached by all
the reigning houses of Europe to
which Prinee Solms was related,
for his death. So imbued were
they with the inviolable and sa
cred character of royal person
ages as the anointed of the Lord
that they did not hesitat* to de
nounce the hostile encounter be
tween the count and the prince as
an act of lese majeste and as an
actual crime committed by the
former.
A pathetic element was added
*o this tragedy by the fact that
the dead prince’s mother was, like
her half brother, King George of
Hanover, afflicted with blindness.
This led her surviving children to
keep her in ignorance of the death
of her passionately beloved eldest
son.
She was made believe that he
was merely trav ■ i s.; around the
world, and reguu.rly ev-ry month
letters purporting in be from him
were read to her by her other son
and daughter, giving accounts of
his travels and adventures, all of
which were coucocted with pious
intent by her children.
Just about the time the princess
was becoming seriously concerned
about the absence of her boy she
died, without having obtained any
knowledge of his tragic fate, which
was brought about entirely
through his own hot temper and
arrogance.
Now is the time to provide your
self and family with a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy as a safe-guard
against an attack of bowel com
plaint during the summer months
It costs but 25c and is almost sure
to be needed before the summer is
over. This remedy never fails, ev
en in the most severe cases, and is
in fact the only preparation that
can always be depended upon.
When reduced with water it is
pleasant to take. For sale by Low
