The Vienna press shows by careful
figuring how far more fatal disease
usually Is to the soldier in war than
wounds. In the Crimea 1000 out of
29, 600 English succumbed to disease; in
the Russo-Turkish war whole divis ions
were swept off by cholera. In 1866 the
Prusian Army lost 6,427 men from
cholera, against 4, ,450 on the field. In
1901 the Germans lost $4,000 men
by disease; less than half that number
fell in battle, but the sanitary arrange
ments had never been so good.

The Island Of Ischia.

Ischia, known to the ancients as
Pithecusa and Enaria, is an island of
Italy situated at the north entrance to
the bay of Naples. Its circumference is
nineteen miles and its area twenty-six.
The extinct volcano Monte Epomeo rises
to a height of 1900 feet nearly in the
center of the island, and the whole
surface slopes from the summit to the
sea. In 1902 formidable eruption of
Monte Epomeo desolated the island at a
time wnen Vesuvius was quiet. but since
that date Ischia' verdure has never been
DESTROYED. The soil is very fertile, and
produces rich haryests of corn, figs,
grapes, olives, and mulberries, while
groves of oak and chestnut trees and
thickets of myrtle and arbutus skirt the
mountain sides and line the roads. Iron
and sulphur are found in various parts
of the island, and the manufacture of
bricks, tiles, and pottery is carried on to
some extent.
But the great source of wealth are
the thermal springs, which are con-
sidered the best in Europe. Casamicciola
is the headquarters of the water, hot air
and sand baths, but Lacco is also popu-
lar in the season, which lasts nominally
from June till September, but such is
the fame of the island for its salubrity
and beauty that 3 stream of visitors is
allured to the place all the year through.
From the most ancient times the baths of
the island have been famous, and it has
been said, If disease be durable, the
water of some one of the springs there
will effect a radical restoration. The
people are chiefly engaged in tilling the
soil and fishing. The chief town, Ischia,
containing $500 inhabitants, is the seat
of the bishop, and contains an old castle
dating from the fifteenth century. This
other towns are Fario, 6,100, Casamio
ciola, Lacco, Panza, and Moropano.
This portion of Europe has frequently
suffered from terrible earthquake shocks
eruptions of lava. showers of ashes, and
rising and sinkings of earth. Islands
and capes have appeared and disap-
peared with each succeeding convulsion
of nature, but such is the happy-go-luck
nature of the people that they never suf-
fer much anticipation or retrospection
SO long as the wants of the day are sup
piled. The numbers slain will soon be
replaced by others, as ever since the
Greeks first settled the place it has not
| lacked q population. Their rude and
simple methods of agriculture require
but little capital, the fishers stock will
soon be replaced, and in few years all
traces of the ruin will be swept away OF
covered by the luxuriant growth of vege-
tation which in that climate soon covers
everything with its mantle of living

Several men who did not dance had bits

from their husbands less, or to satisfy

still cfinging to their dry lips, their
movements slow, mechanical, spas

cite the sympathy OF the most cold -blooded
and hard-hearted person In the world. We
say he came-he was rather carried to the
Doctors office, for he was totally helpless,
and bore the weight of so years besides. He
had suffered long from Retention of Urine,
and had all the symptoms of an aggravated
case Of calculus formations in the bladder.
The usual instrumental examination reveal.
ed the presence in the bladder of a urinary
calculus of uncommon size. DR.. Kennedy
frankly told him that, owing to his age and
debility, an operation was out of the question
but that he could by the precriptlon of Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy, together with local
treatment. make him comfortable and leave
him to live out all his days. The outcome

Religions in India.

The latest statistics upon this subject,
founded upon the census of 1882, show
that out Of the grand total of the popu-
lation of British India, which is given at
254, ,S99, ,516, the various sects and castles
of Hindoos made up no less than 49,
9S7, ,450. The Mohammedans, who came
next in order, numbered so. .121 ,5S5.
The nature worshippers, or demonola-
tors, numbered 6, ,426, ,511; the Buddhists,
3,41S, 844; Christians, 1862, ,634; Jains,
a sect whose worship is mingled Budd-
hism and Hindoism, ], ,221 1896; the Sikhs,
who are simple Theists, S5S, ,426; and
those who come under the heading of
other creeds, or were altogether inspect
fed, S,057, $50. The Christians emu
merated are exclusive of persons of
European nationality. The number OF
Roman Catholic Christians was set down
as 963, ,O5S, or a little over half million.
Indeed, a strict scrutiny is stated to have
brought out the total of native Protest
ant Christians as only a little over half a
million. But this number shows the
very satisfactory increase of eighty-six
per cent in ten years, as in 1871 the total
was only S,363; thirty years ago the
number of native Christians was only
1O2, ,95I. In 1861 this number had in
creased by ffty-three per cent, and
again in 1871 by sixty-one per cent, SC
that there has been for some time back
q rapid and unbroken progress.
