DIR. Clauston, an Edinburgh physi-
clan, says Gan acute mental diseases,
like most nervous diseases, tend to thin
ness of body, and therefore all foods
and all medicines and all treatments
that fatten are good. To my assis-
tants and nurses and patients | preach
the gospel OF fairness as the great an
tidote to the exhausting tendencies of
the disease we have to treat, and it
would be well if all people of
constitution would obey this gospel.
MANY weird tales have been told of
seeds found in the hands of Egyptian
mummies being planted and growing
into some flower of wonderful beauty,
but with so dead a perfume that it de-
stroyed the lives of its wearers. 1t is a
fact that an English market gardener
has recently raised peas from some
dried mes found in the grip of a
mummy. When Michael Davitt was in
Portland prison, too, one of the visitors
became interested in the little garden
which the founder of the Land league
was allowed to amuse himself by Gull
tivating and sent him some flower seeds
which had come in like manner from
the tomb of an Egyptian. Davitt
planted the seeds and reared specimens
of the fora Of old Egypt.

The Spread of Leprosy.

The attention of prominent physi-
clans is being given to the increase of
that terrible scourge, the leprosy. 1t
appears from figures given that this
loathsome disease has increased in this
country nearly seventy-fiye per cent.
within the last eigh, years, and is still
spreading, while no definite steps have
been taken to stop or check it. This
disease is the one which the Hebrews
considered above all as a terrible plague.
All who were afflicted with it were
ostracised and banished from the cities
o the wilderness. Even houses where
he people affected had lived where
urned.
The disease has been spread in this
country mostly by the Chinese. Though
it was known and dreaded in California
as far back as 1916, in Mexico it was
occasionally met in some out-of-the-way
place where the unfortunate sufferer
had gone to die. A case was also occa-
sionally encountered by the Southern
physicians in their practice, and the
utmost care Was taken to prevent the
spread of the disease The vast num-
Der of Chinese who have been flock
ing to this country for the last eight
or ten years, have had many lepers
among them, and they have mingled
freely among their fellows, spread
ing the disease, which can be dissemina-
ted by personal contact or by using
anything which the person affected
has used or handled. The disease has
shown itself to an alarming extent
among those who smoke the cigarettes
manufactured by Chinese ; the disease
attacks the lips and tongue, and in
a short time shows itself in different
parts of the body. This ought to
have some effect in stopping the per-
nicious habit of cigarette smok-
ing, which is assisting to spread the
disease.

Fashions for Both Sexes.

Evening dresses are made with an
amplitude almost recalling the days of
crinoline. Happily, the fu,lness estab-
lished by French decree is confined
wholly to the back, the front and sides
falling straight enough. Some of the
newest white skirts to be worn next the
dress have a single embroidered founce
going all the way around the foot of
the skirt, but in the back they are
founced nearly to the waist, each rufle
being starched very stiff when laun-
dried.
Amber is a very fashionable color,
and one of the most beautiful impor-
tations from Worth is an amber satin
reception costume. The court train
opens over a petticoat Of ruby velvet
covered with very deep amber lace

THE MAN.

Adown the street the married man
Starts off with hurried tread
But from the door the wifely voice
Calls, Don't forget the bread.
He smiles and nsds, and turns to go,
The careless married man,
When loud the servant calls him, Ohi
You haven't got the can
He mods again in fretful style,
But pulleth down his hat
And 10, his sister, with a smile,
Cries, Won't you bring my hat?'
"Oh, yes, he shouts and truth to tell,
He need not shout so loud
But shrill his son, with stunning yell,
Theatre tickets for the crowd
His daughter from the window high
Estops him with her call
She wants q fan, a pair of gloves,
And a new pink parasol.
He hears no more far down the street
His echoing footsteps fly;
And all day long in measure fleet.
He huns, Sweet buy and buy
But when the evening respite brings,
And his day toll is done,
Though told TO get a hundred things.
He hasn't gotta one.

The electricity generated by the
machinery in one of the great Harmony
mills, at Cohoes, owing to peculiar con-
ditions which are not perfectly under
stood, has of late so charged the atmos-
phere as to affect the employees un-
pleasantly. Various attempts were
made without result to remove the
nuisance, but at last a network of wires
running through the mill has been sue
c~essfully employed to collect the cleo
tricity and conduct it to the ground.

The prisoner was conIllled IN JAIL,
and word of his disgrace sent to John
Brisben. The latter read the message
and a mist came v e his eyes. He
groaned audibly, and but for a strong
| effort of the will, would have fallen TO
the floor, SO weak was he by the terri
| BILE shock.
'She must not know II" he said to
| himself, and he made instant prepare
| tions to visit his brother. When he
reached the Jail he was admitted to
| the cell of the wretched criminal. The
| brothers remained together several
hours. What passed during the inter-
| view will never be known. When John
Brisben emerged from the jail he went
| straight to the magistrate who had
issued the warrant for the apprehension
of Joseph Brisben.

ting way, ''yoH have made a mistake. "
"In what way, Mr.. BrisbenY 7" asked

"You have caused the arrest of an
innocent man."

trate. "You a fofger-impossible."
"Nothing is impossible in these days,
SIR said the white-haired old man,
s%ternly. 81 alone am guilty. My brother
is innocent"
So stoutly did he aver that he was
the forger that the magistrate reluc-
family issued a warrant for his arrest
and at the same time wrote an order to
the jailer for the release of Joseph
Brisben.
"My constable will be in soon," said
the magistrate but the old hero picked
up both the papers.
81 will not trouble him. he said. 81
will execute both the papers"
And he did. Handing the iailer
both papers he explained their meaning
thus
"They have made q mistake. 1t is l
who am to be your prisoner. My brother
is innocent"
Accordingly Joseph Brisben vas re-
leased and returned to the farm. John
remained at jail a prisoner. When the
extraordinary affair became known,
several prominent citizens offered to go
on the accused mans bond, but he
would not accept their kind offices.
At the trial he pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced to fifteen years hard labor
in the p~enitentiary. Joseph came to see
him before he was removed to Frank
fort, but their intervieV was a private
one.
Joseph Brisben remained at the farm,
but he was a changed man. From the
day of his release from Jail down to
the time of his death, he was never
known to touch a card, and a drop of
liquor never passed his lips. Last
April he died, and his confession, duly
sworn to before a justice of the peace,
was made public after his burial. In
substance, it was this. That he was
guilty for the forgery for which his he
roic brother was suffering a long i'm
prisonment.
1T was my brothers. wish, not

In is related by the New York ri
bune that nearly half Il century ago a
sturdy Pennsylvania farmer by the
name Of Love started for the far west
with his family, but being robbed on
the way Of all HIS money, he had to
leave his three children with strangers
while he and his wife toiled ahead on
foot. But they did not prosper, and
never accumulated enough money to
send for their children, who, as years
went on, were themselves separated and
lost all trace of one another and Of
their parents. Now, in their old age,
they have learned of one another's ex-
istence, and that their mother is still
alive at Winona, Mimi, and are plan
ming family reunion.
