- LEpERS FROM HAWAII.
The Disappearance of the Dread Diseas,
 in tho Western World.


 in tho Western World.
 Mr John H. Putnam, Consul of the United States in Honolulu, recently reported that number of white per sons afflicted with leprosy emigrate from Hawaii to this country every year. He does not attempt to give statistics, but asserts that as soon as white man is convinced that he is q victim of this disease-he leaves Hawaii to escape lifelong Imprisonment upon tho little island where the un- fortunate lepers of that kingdom are isolated. Mir. Putnam's statement is too vague and general in it's nature to excite much attention unless corrob- orated by evidence obtained elsewhere. Some time since a native Hawaiian who would had been condemned to death for murder was told that his sentence would be cOmmuted to im- prisoumeut for life if he would con sent Go inoculation with leprous virus. ln order to determine whether leprosy is a contagious disease. He consent ed to tho hard alternative. and. after an interval of many months, he has developed symptoms which, the physi- cians say, prove that he is affected with leprosy.
 Whether leprosy is contagious or not, it is certain that a high state of civilization and the improved condi- ton Of the poorer people in modern times are not conducive to it's develop ment In not few of the parish churches of England may still be seen the slauting "leper window" through which the poor leper of the middle ages was permitted to view the cere- mony of the mass, though he might not enter the sacred edifce. Centuries ago Europe was delivered. save in two OF three spots. from the curse of lep- rosy. which. in the middle ages, made its pest houses almost as mum erous as its churches. In Eastern Canada there still exists an isolated commit nifty of iepers. but in our country there are very few victims of the disease. even among Chinese immigrants, of whose misfortunes through this afiiic- ton some sensational reports have been written.

HASTE AND WORRY.
Two Unpardonable Mental Sins Against
 tho Stomach.


 tho stomach.
 There are two mental sins against the stomach, which bring about terrible run ming account, the full payment of which often completely ruins us. These are haste and worry. None of us are entirely guilt less in these respects. We tell children that it is bad mannersr 10 eat fast; we liken them to pigs when they do it.; but have often questioned whether they were half as much to be blamed as either the mother who could not find time to eat her own meal because she was ful of care for others, or the father whose one thought Is to swallow his boiling coffee and get through his steak or chop in time to catch the train.
 How many homes there are in which breakfast is, in reality, scramble, hur- riedly prepared, hurriedly eaten and hur- riedly digested; while dinner in the middle of the day, in house where there are many children, is scarcely less so as far as the mother is concerned, and the evening meal finds every body too tired to care to finger over it, or there are constant calls upon the mother for her attention This is bad in itself, but it is ten times worse when worry anxiety or exc tement adds it's quota to the disturbance
 American women suffer from nervous dyspepsia to a distressing extent: and they very seldom stop to consider how largely it is due to their own fault or in- discretion Just Co the extent to which they hurry and worry they are distinctly blamable, and where is the woman who does Leither' Certainly she Is rarely found In the working or professional classes.

Practical Suggestions for Bankers, Manu-
 facturers and Merchants.
 It Is the current opinion of many that a large proportion of the bank staffs of this country arc corrupt, which they claim is evidenced by the downfall of so many bank officials. This is a great error. The fact is that the profession harbOrs com paratively few black sheep. The wonder is that, considering tho great temptation thrown in the way of bank officials, and the seemingly unsuitable thirst for riches, the instances of fraud and dedication are 80 rare. Were the watchfulness and discipline kopt up to their proper extent with all employees. whether one year in the bank or twenty years. 1t is safe to say fraud would be even less common. But thanks to human nature, the man who works for another for ten or twenty years will in our free country natural ly be looked upon by him more uSo @ friend and partner than a clerk. aRd supervision will gradually grow less. and finally cease. It is only right Co trust a man, who has been for years a faithful servant, as long as there is nothing in his mode of living and In his expenditures to invite suspicion. Because one man goes astray, distrlst must not fall on the thousands of hon. est and upright men who helped to make banking what it now Is in the United States-a profession by far su- perior in mIodus operaHdi and facilities granted the public to any thing of its kind in all other countries.
 To avoid corruption. first remove temptation by paying liberal salaries to all your clerks, from the cashier down. All Of them have more or less chance to defraud you. and may ho tempted to do 50 if they are expected to keep up appearances on an made quate salary.

FOR OLD PEOPE!

In old people the nervous system Is weakened, and that must be strengthened. One of the most prominent medical writers of the day, in speaking of the prevalence of rheumatic troubles among the aged, says" <" The various pains, rheu- matic or other, which old people often complain of, and which materially disturb their comfort, result from disordered nerves" There it is in nutshell the medicine for old people must be nerve tonic. Old people are beset with constipation, fatulency, drowsiness, diar- rhea, indigestion, rheumatism, neuralgia.
