BnRdnd,s "Date marx - Mnlndr.

No account of Bagdad would be COM
plete or even honest, which omitted men,
ton of the Bagdad "date mark" a
mysterious malady which affects every
body, whether citizen or stranger. tits
a dry, eating sore, which comes gener.
ally upon the face, lasts for o year, and
then goes away forever, leaving an indel-
ible mark about the size and shape of a
date, as evidence OF the visitation. The
oioGtrir is just skin deep; and the spot
appears as If the surface had been scar
ed away with caustic or q hot iron, and
it by no means enhances the beauty of
the victim. The sore generally comes
in childhood, and then il commonly set
ties upon the face. The cheek OF nearly
every man or woman brought up in Bag
dad shows the unmistakable mark.
Sometimes it settles on the nose, and
then the Disagreement is considerable,
sometimes on the eyelid, and blindness
is generally the result. Strangers are
attacked even after brief residences:
but If they be adults, they get the sore
on the arm or wrist. 1t is more painful
there than on the cheek, but of course
there is no Disagreement. In every case
the attack runs its conrse for a year; no
treatment, no ointment or medicine has
the slightest effect upon it. Once the
sore makes its appearance, the sufferer
knows what to expect, and as he may as
well resign himself philosophically to all
it involves. The Arabs say that every
one that goes to Bagdad must get the
" date mark" if he does not get it while
in the city, he will get it after he leaves;
and if he does not get it while alive, he
will get it after he is dead. It is not to
be avoided.
In Aleppo the disease is known as the
" "Aleppo button, and there, as in Bag
dad, the favorite theory is that water is
the cause of the evil. But two Euro
pean physicians, who went to the city to
investigate the matter, were themselves
attacked within a fortnight after their
arrival in the town, though they took
the precaution of having their drinking
water brought from a distant place,
where its quality was above suspicion.
Another suspected cause is a supposed
deficiency of iodine in the salt used in
the country. Some people are inclined
TO think there is something in the de-
fective sanitation of the town which
predisposes to the attack.
The visitation is not as a rule painful.
unless it happens to fix upon a spot
above a joint or a muscle frequently
brought into exercise. The irritation
occasioned by movement of the affected
part is often considerable, and gives
rise to a great deal of suffering. The
general health is little, if at all, dis
turbed in ordinary cases. The children
play about the narrow streets and make
mud-pies quite ioyously, with great
ulcers, the size of crown piece, on
their little cheeks; it gives them no con-
Germ that they are being marked and
disfgured for life, and of pain they feel
nothing.-Geary's " Through ASiatic
Turkey"

IS important Business.N

A man with comforter tied around
his waist and whip in his hand called
at the postoffice for a letter yesterday,
and for reasons which no human being
may ever understand he suddenly decided
to have his boots blacked, and not to
pay more than five cents for the lob,
either. The first boy invited to begin
work took a cool survey of the boots,
and then softly replied:
"Id like the Job, mister, but you see
1 haven't time. The secretary of the
treasury has made another call for out
standing five-twenties, and I've got to

The second boy had already prepared
to kneel down when he realized the
dimensions of the boots before him, and
suddenly Strengthening up said:
"Say, haven't time. I've agreed to
take charge of sawmill up the river for
a man who is going away, and / must be
at his Office to give $40, 900 bonds in Just
four minutes. Some other boy'n be glad

The "some other boy" was near at
hand, and when told that the boots must
be polished off for nickel, he confden-
tally whispered:
