EDALIA WEEKLY BAZOO. TUESDAY, APRIL 22 1884

chronic In its course, and never pre-
seDts any noticeable change in so short
a time, even under the most active
treatment.
What was meant by the reference to
leprosy of clothing and of houses is
now difficult to understand. They
are infections diseases at the present
day, the germs of which may dwell
for a time in clothing and the walls of
houses. but there is nothing in con-
necl!on with the modern leprosy would
justify us in believiur that it ever in
fects an inanimate object.
On the other hand, if we assume
that the leprosy of ancient times was
Identical with that OF the present day,
it seems strange that Moses failed to
mention the less of sensation, the de-
formity of the hands, and other feat
ures which are the most striking char
acteristic of the disease. That the
leprosy which | have described has
not changed It's type in the course of
centuries, as other diseases have done
in comparatively short time, is
shown by the fact that some of the
earliest medical descriptions are so
correct that they might answer their
purpO-e in a modern textbook, and
we are therefore led to the conclusion
that Moses, though possessing all the
earning of the Egyptian priests, in-
Guiding the highest medical knowl-
edge ofhis age, did not note the dis
tincIive characteristics Ofleprosy, bat
classed il under one name with other
prevalent diseases.

No.

Nothing.
Why do you tie flannel around it

To keep it warm, responded the
lame man.
Couldn't you keep it warm by 8

Yes, but | couldn't carry stove

A Soldiers Bright Idea.
Detroit Free Press.


One day soon after Pope's defeat at
second Bull Run and Chantilly, a pri-
vate soldier belonging to an Ohio reg
iment sought an interview with his
captain, and announced that he had a
plan for a military campaign, which
must certainly result in crushing out
the rebellion. The officer very nat
urally inquired for particulars, but
the soldier refused to reveal them, and
asked for a chance to lay his plans be-
fore Pope himself. After some delay
he WAS given a pass to headquarters.
He did MOI get TO see Pope, but a..er
the chief of the staff had cOaxed and
promised and threatened for a quarter
of an hour, Buckeye stood up and re-
piled:
Well, sir, my plan is for John Pope
and Bob Lee TO swap commands and
if we don't lick the south inside OF
sixty days you may shoot me for q
patent hayfork swindler!
When he returned to camp he was
naturally asked what success he met
with. and he ruetully replied:
Wall, they had plan of their
own.
What was il?
Why. they took me out and booted
NE for mile and half.

boy he was, and, being told that he
was Sam Frazer's son, the salesman
said he would take the coin and give
him back the change due him, a. he
wanted to joke flr. Frazer for giving
any one such money. Tie salesman
gave him in change two liver dimes,
aud the boy went hack to the first
salesman and told him he had got his
money changed and wanted 10 get the
article he was looking at awhile be-
fore. Producing the money, it was
soft. By this time the curiO ity of
the people became excited aud they
began TO experiment. Shady Veasy
gave him several silver quarters,
which, after remaining in the boy :
pocket for a few minutes were remOv-
en- in a shapeless condition and adhe-
ed TO each other, resembling molten
metal. Different persons gave him
coins with like result. His pockets
were examined by parties who could
find nothing wrong. As the narticu-
lars were related to us so have we
endeavored to publish them anu Mr..
Bailey being a gentleman well known
and esteemed for truth and veracity,
we make the publication.

BIBLICAL and Modern Leprosy

Popular Science Monthly.
The somewhat detailed description
of leprosy which is almost uninteIli-
gible in the light of our present knOwl-
edge. and after making due allo vance
for the necessarily imperfect transla-
tion of the Hebrew scriptures, we are
forced to believe that Moses associated
leprosy with other diseases, us MANY
distinguished medical writers have
done in later years. Indeed, it is only
during the past few decades that the
disease has been carefully studied in
various parts of the world and its
identity thoroughly established.
III siudyin. ,he Mosaic laws respect
ing leprosv, We fad sta eGents made
and directions given for It's recognition
by the priests who could not have
referred to the disease which we now
call leprosy. For instance, it is stat
ed that if the leprosy cover the whole
skin of him that hath the plague, the
priest shall pronounce him clean. This
would hardly apply to modern lep-
ROSY, which never involves the whole
skin, as far as my observation goes.
But there are other cutaneous affec-
tiOns which frequently do cover the
afflicted subject "from his head even
to his foot" Why the leper should
have been pronounced unclean while
the disease was spreading, and clean
when it had reached that point where
further spreading was impossible, l
will leave for others TO determine,
merely remarking that a law which
permitted only such levers within the
camp as were covered by the disease
rom head to foot could certainly not
have had sanitary origin. Further
more the rule that the leper should
be shut up for seven days and then
examined by the priest, with a view
to noting the change that had taken
place in the meantime. would seem to
indicate some other disease than mod
! ern leprosy, for the latter is extremely

Mr.. w. d. Bailey of Sebree, was

strange occurrence which took place
in Sebree day or two ago. Mr..
Frazer gave his son a silver coin, a

seemed to take the matter seriols

OUT ON CLUTCHES.
The Alluen of the Aged Cripple
Who Paraded up and Down
the Wharf.
r. K. Mulkittrick in Puck.

r. K. Mulkittrick in Puck.
An aged man was parading up and
down one of the wharves on North
river the other day, looking as though
a good meal would not affect him DIS
astrOusly. The wind was blowing
pretty hard, and the old man foun1 il
rather difficult to stand up on his
crutches, although each of them had a
spike in The end TO protect them
against ice, banana skins, and other
impulsive things that beset the path
of man.
One of his legs shot backward from
the knee, and seemed to remain in
that position all the time.
The foot of his game leg was wrap
ped in flannel, and around the fan
mel about fifty yards of cord were
wound TO keep it on all right.
After he had seated himself on a
bale, a carman approached him and
said
How's your foot to-day?
First rate, replied the old man.
Don't you find it hard to get along
on crutches inquired the carman.
Not at all. replied the old nan, not
at all. You see. when a nan walk
all day on his feet he becomes foot
sore.
Yes.
But when a man walks all day on
one foot and his crutches, he can only
tire one foot. The fatigue that would
naturally accrue to the other goes into
the crutches. Consequently lam never
fOOt-sOre.
Did you have your leg hurt in the
war? inquired the carman.
Not much, replied The old cripple /:
| wasn't in the war at all | lived in
Canada during the war.
How long have you been on crutch-
es?
About three months.
had an idea you were lame all
your life, said the carman.
On, no; it is only recent.
Rheumatism?
No.
Crushed on a railroad train?
No.
Slipped down on a slippery walk !?
Wrong again, replied the lame
man, as he looked dreamily across
the river, and followed with his eve
the sea-sulls that foated happily
along the sky on the dead-wing.
The carman looked at him curious
ly. Then he repeated:
Haven't been lame for life?
Haven't rheumatism? Haven't been
crushed on a railroad? Haven't slip
ped down on the deadly banana-skin
or slippery walk?
None of those, sir; none of those,
responded the lame man.
Did you break your leg in a foot
ball match2
No.
Did you ever get tangled up in the
machinery III mill?
Never worked in mill, replied the
lame man, as he made dreary designs
on the ground with the end of one of
his crutches.
After moments silence the car
mans curiosity got the better of him
again. There was quite a line of
drays ahead of him, and it would be
long while before he could deliver
his load and get receipt. So he turn
ed again to the old man on tine bale,
and inquired
Did you ever fall down hatchway?
No, sir.
Then the carman braced himself
for the final effort, and said.
Then how did you hurt your leg {?
VINO said hurt my leg?
Well, didn't you hurt your Les I?
asked the carrLau.
Did | say | hurt my leg? demand
ed the old man.
No.
Then what are you talking about !?
queried the cripple.
Your leg.
What are you asking about my leg!
