The EmcleneY of 0uaraniine.

When so high an authority as DIR.
Tyndall betrays a cautious but yet dis
tinctly-avowed belief in the efficacy of
a strict quarantine in preventing the
spread of an epidemic, one need not be
greatly surprised to find men of his en-
inence committing themselves with
abandon in speaking of the same delu-
sion. The facts which stand conclu-
sively and irresistibly against the main
tenance at this time of day of the isola-
ton method of MEDIEVAL state medicine
may be very briefly stated in general
terms. First, absolute isolation of an
infected district intensifies the viru-
lence of a disease, contagious or infec-
tious, at its very indus or source. 1t
subjects those who, by constitutional
qualities or other circumstances, had,
up to the alarm, resisted the disease, to
prolonged attack, and ultimately they
may fall victims. 1t seals the doom of
those already striken. Second, quaran-
tine of the closest description which
human ingenuity can devise will be

OROLY'S

/. The New York Tribune of Friday
has the following: ID. G. Croly has an
alarming reputation for making pretty
accurate predictions. In 1872 he pub
iished a remarkable article in which he
said:
81 predict that within the next two
years this country will experience the
worst financial panic known to history.
Land will temporarily fall to one half
per cent of its value; this panic will be
precipitated, in all probability, by the
failue of the Northern Pacific railroad,
and perhaps of the banks who manage
it." What Croly has already told, war
rants special interest in his present
predictions published a day or two ago.
Among these are the following: The
present year will be a prosperous one
for the country; there will be a general
revival of industry; labor will be en-
ployed and confidence in the future
universally felt. Before the close of
the year, there will be widespread in
terest in precious metal mining; a dan
gerous speculative feeling in other in
dustries will show itself. There win

What the Railroad Schedules Show About
Mr.. WhIteaker's Trip.

4 "A special train schedule. has been
received at U. P.iheadquarters, giving
the time occupied by Hon. John Whit
eaker, of Oregon, NJ. c., in making his
long trip from Oregon to Washington.
Many interesting facts are given in the
document, showing the remarkable
time made. Mr. Whitaker left San
Francisco on Wednesday, March Il, al.
1905 a.. M, left Oakland wharf at TO-
"a p. M, and reached San Francisco for
his next stop at 2:52 p. M, travelling at
the rale of 32t miles per hour. At
Sacramento the train passed No. l on
the 18th. The next stop was at True
kee, 119t miles, att 1854 p. IN. The
remaining stops were as follows:
Winnemucca, 2O49 miles, 1:45 a. M,
Thursday; Wells, 200 miles, $50 a. M,
Odgen, 219 miles, 3:43 p. N. The time
from San Franciso to Odgen was 80
hours and 81 minutes, or an average Of
81 miles per hour. The most import
ant stops from Ogden to Omaha were

at Rock Creek the special passed re-
gular trains No. l and A., Of the 18th.
Up to this time it had been the inten-
ton to allow Mr.. Whitaker to continue
his journey by the regular train upon
reaching it, but in view of the brief
time which remained before the meet
ing of congress it was decided to con-
tinue the special. Rock Creek to Lar
annie was made at the rate of 44t miles
per hour, Laramie to Cheyenne at the
rate of 900 miles per hour, and Cheyenne
to Sidney at 81 miles per hour, the
fastest hours travel made. From
Sidney to North Platte was made at
the rate of SO IA per hour, and from
North Platte to Omaha at the rate of
81, 81. The distance from Ogden to
Omaha, 1882 miles, was made in SO
hours and IA minutes, an average of a
little over 81 miles per hour, which was
also the average from San Francisco to
Omaha. Mr.. Whitaker reached
| Washington at 0 O'Clock Monday morn
ing, travelling from Chicago to Wash
ington in regular trains. The through
time from San Francisco, deducting 8
hours and % minutes lost at Harris
burg, was A days, 10 hours and So

The human face is not only 'sthe in
dex to the SOUL" Every bodily sensa-
ton leaves its indellible impress upon
the features. Every human face, if
STUDIED attentively, reveals the physi-
cal and mental history of its possessor.
On the crowded street of the city, what
volumes of these histories are open to
all who would search theml The miser
with his features drawn as tightly as
the mouths of his money bags; the de-
bauchee with his sensual, semi-animal
face; the young man with the future
fair and broad before him, every line
Of his countenance revealing energy and
ambition; the maiden's face bright
with innocent love and hope,-each of
these face-histories is as legible as the
printed page before you. But there are
other faces in which we may read sad
histories-faces of w~ork-weary women
to whom living has become an irksome
burden. The fatal alphabet of disease
is written upon every line of their oun
t~enance. Why will theserwomen suffer
from those painful diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to the sex, losing besides
the charm and beauty of u bright beau

Prescription is a sure and effectual
remedy? Ladies who have used it pro-
nounce it to be woman's elixir Of

Walking to Some Purpose.

lFfoHi Nv z oIh iiAheSsl
Among the most famous OF the
| worlds walking matches are some of
those recorded in military history,
where the obstacles of heavy burdens
and difficult ground were added to those
of time and space. The march of the
heavily-armed Spartans in 400 b. c.,
from Lacedemon to Marathon, cover
ing 100 miles of almost roadless country
in three days, would have earned high
commentator in an age of sporting
papers. The Consul Nero's march to
the Metaurus, to surprise the Cartha-
ginians (201 II. c.), lasted two days and
a night, with the lightest possible inter-
mission, the soldiers taking food from
the hands of the country people, and
eating it as they went. Hannibal's re-
treat from Zama upon Carthage
brought him to A~ndrumetum, sixty
three miles distant, between dawn
and nightfall, the pursuing Romans
accomplishing the same distance in
even less time. Casar's tenth legion
achieved a parallel feat in Gaul, while
in heavy marching order. The Bernese
Swiss, when summoned, to aid those of
Soleure in repelling an invasion, are
said to have answered the call so
promptly that the newly-baked loaves
which they carried with them were
barely cold on arrival. Frederick the
great, on the hottest day Of the terrible
summer of 1850, had a kind Of race
with Marshal Daun for the occupation
OF an important post, both armies MAX
ing such speed that 200 Prussians and
300 Austrians dropped dead on the line
of march from sheer exhaustion. Frede-
rick's younger brother, Henry, during
the same war, marched for fifty hours,
with only three intervening halts. Ma
poleon's sold Guard" repeatedly made
sixty miles in a day during the great
campaign of 1878; and one of the Rus
| sian regiments in Central ASIA is
stated, or good authority, to have ac-
complished seventy-eight. The similar
exploits achieved during the Indian
mutiny of 1857, and the American civil
war of 1915, are too well known to
need repetition.

A Remedy for the Plague,

Mr.. Horace White, English consul at
Tangiers, says: SIN the contemporaries
BUS account given by Jackson of the
plague which depopulated western Bar
barry in 1890 and 1900 he states that at
Mogador, at his rec ommendation,
many persons had recours to a remedy
which had proved most emcacious in
Egypt, namely, amounting the body
with olive oil, and he knew of no in
stance of its failing when properly APP
piled and sufficiently p%ersevered in.
During the outbreak of the plague
among the Egyptian troops at Beyrout
in 1886 the inhabitants of a certain vii
lage attributed their escape from dis
ease to the fact that their clothes and
persons were generally well saturated
with oil.

SWISS SIP INDIANS.

Renewed interest is being manifested
in the east as to the origin Of the
Indians, and especially Of those who are
known to speak European tongues.
Some years ago a Welsh traveller hap
pened among q tribe Of savages who
spoke the Cimbrian tongue as freely as
himself. Unfortunately, he left no re-
cord of the name of the tribe, or the
place where he found them.
More authentic data as to other
tribes Of Indians are obtainable. In
IA. a private in the army named Ell
singer, q Swiss, was in a company
which captured a band of Cheyennes.
The savages were not disposed to sub
NIT patiently to their capture and they
conversed loudly and..continually, being
confident, Of course, that no white man
present could understand their jargon.
Private Eisinger overheard them, and
to his great surprise found that he could
understand all they said. Their Ian
guage was identical with that Of his
native canton. He informed his supe-
rior officers of the fact, and obtained
his discharge from the arnmy and an
appointment as interpreter. Subsequent
ly he found that the Arrapahoes and
Comanches spoke the anne soft tongue.
He therefore believes that he has de-
monstrated that the Indians Of the plains
are neither more nor less than wander
ing chill dren of the mountains of Swift
zerland.
While it is possible that Eisinger is
mistaken in claiming q Swiss ancestry
for these Indians, his discovery awaken
ed considerable discussion at the time,
and even now ethnologists place ex-
traordinary value upon them. A thought
occurs to US that our most learned men,
who have opportunity to mingle with
the Indian, were they so inclined, have
taken but little interest in this very i'm
portant question. The problem can be
solved more easily nov than in agener-
alton hence; and IL it can be solved at
all, much new and valuable inform
alton a be added to our too meagre
knowledge of the a~borigines of the
North America continent.

Is tontasiousq

rFrom the London Lancet.l
The remarkable instances now and
then seen, in which persons without
hereditary tendency to phthisis become
phthisical after long-continued attend
ance on sufferers from the disease have
suggested to many physicians the idea
that phthisis is contagious. If there in
such a contagion the mechanism has
been supposed to be the inhalation with
the breath of fine particles of tubercu-
lous sputa, atomized into the air with
the patients cough. An attempt has
been made by Dr.. Tappeiner, Of Mereau,
to ascertain whether. by a similar
means, animals could be rendered
tubercular, and the results of the ex-
periments, which are published in the
current number of Virchop's Archie,
are Of great interest. The animals ex-
perimented on were made to breathe
for several hours daily in a chamber in
the air of which fine particles Of phthis-
ical sputum were suspended. The sput-
um having been mixed with water, the
mixture was atomized by a steam atom
izer. In all cases the sputs were from
persons with cavities in their lungs.
Dogs alone were employed in the ex-
periments, since they very rarely suffer
from spontaneous t~uberculosia. The
result was, that of eleven animals ex-
perimented on, with one doubtful ex-
ception, after a period varying from
twenty-five to forty-five days, all-being
killed-presented well-developed mill
tary tubercles in both lungs: and in
most of the cases, tubercles were pres
ent to a smaller extent in the kidneys,
and in some cases also in the liver and
spleen. Microscopical examination was
in accord with the naked eye appear
noes The quantity of sputum neces-
sary for the effect is certainly a very
small m In three experiments only
one gramme Of sputum was daily atom
lied in the air of the chamber, and the
quantity of dry sputum must have been
exceedingly small.
