The Panama Canal Company's Surgeon
Gives His Experience

DR.. Joseph Bechtinger, surgeon of the
Panama Canal Company, recently lectured
on "Leprosy'' at the College of Physicians
at Philadelphia Ssereopticon views illus
trated the interesting lecture, to which
about one hundred prominent physicians
listened with deep interest
'sLeprosy," SAID the doctor, after he had
described the beauties of the South Sea
Islands, where the disease is so common,
and made plain how the dreaded scourge
had never been known there until the i'm
portation of Chinese coolies, which fact, he
said, was now universally conceded by the
medical profession, sis of three kinds
tuberculous, anesthetic and mixed
"After 1913, when the Mongolians went
to the Sandwich Islands, the disease ap-
peared. Had it been there prior to that
time missionaries and doctors would have
mentioned it. DR.. Hildebrand, who was
there as early as 1910, never saw a case of
it. In 1856 went to the Lazaretto and had
the privilege of seeing and publishing an
account Of the terrible sufferings of the
poor beings confined behind those walls OF
rock. For this nearly lost my life"
After defining leprosy to be a prehistoric
malady, the true cause of which is not yet
fully known, but which is defined by medi-
cal science to be pathological product ex-
uding from the skin, the doctor told how
patients were treated. "They are often
treated as rheumatic patients, some ply
sicians using an anti-syphilitic treatment,
without, of course, any visible result. Rest

A Minnesota Man Who Has Spent That
Length of Time In Rad.

Length of Time i'm Bed.
According 70 a correspondent of the
Minneapolis Journal the village of Utica,
Minu., has a curiosity in the person of
Herman Harness. who has slept almost
continuously for the last seven years. He
has been visited by numerous physicians
of Southern Minnesota, Iowa, and Wis
consin. and there are almost as many
theories regarding the cause of his condi-
tion as doctors who have seen him. He
has been treated in dozen different ways,
but no one has been able to break his pro-
tracted slumber. Powerful electric bat
teries have been applied to his body, the
only effect being a contraction of the
muscles. His ailment is variously de-
nominated heart trouble, softeninp of the
brain, Bright's disease of the kidneys
and a complication of diseases, part of
them resulting from his protracted period
Of somnolence.
Harnes is now forty-nine years of age,
and ten years ago was a prosperous farm
or in st. Clair County, Ill. At that time
hs was bale and hearty, his weight being
one hundred and eighty pounds. In ST
he was stricken with fever and ague, and
for three years he was attended by one of
the best physicians of st. Louis, who,
however, was unable to effect cure. He
was advised to try the dry atmosphere of
Minnesota, and in the spring OF 1881
moved to st. Charles, Winona County.
whence he was brought to Utica A few
months after his arrival in this State he
fell asleep, and he has lived in this strange
condition for more than seven years. In
the summer of 1884 he awoke one morn
ing, arose from his bed, put on his
clothes and went abont his work. Upon
being told that he had slumbered
four years he grew indignant and would
not believe that he had slept more than
night until led before mirror and shown
his long black hair and beard and sunken
checks and eyes. For a month his heal th
and habits seemed perfect. He went to
bed at the usual hour, slept through the
night, and arose with the lark. Along in
August 1884, his wife, who had come
with him from Germany, had borne him
five children, became very i'll. and Harnes
was obi iged to deprive himself of needed
rest. One night while taking her a cup
of tea he suddenly fell asleep while walk
ing, dropped the cup, sank to the floor and
had to be carried to his bed,
from which he has never since
arisen. He lies on his back.
breathes naturally and suffers little
pain, but is wasting away. His weight
is now less than ninety pounds, and he is
no longer abe TO move himself in bed.
About eleven O'Clock every evening he
awakes for five or six minutes. during
which time he is hurriedly given a soft.
boiled egg, little soup, and a swallow
or two of coffee, his only daily nourish-
ment He is extremely nervous during
his brief waking intervals, but his con.
yersation indicates that his mind is not
beclouded. No medicine has passed his
lips for two years. His children are ex-
ceptionally bright and healthy, none of
them manifesting in the slightest degree
their fathers disposition to sleep life
away,

Rich Girl Who Married a Consumptivc

A Rich Girl Who Married a Consumptive
to Gain Social Freedom.
The death at the little town of Nav

y oung and consumptive printer, named
Frank Mckee, compl etes a curious story
of rich young girls folly. Seven wears

the Chicago Herald, Abram Brown, of
Oakland, died leaving property to his
only daughter, frankie, valued at flfty
thousand dollars. She attained her ma
1orlty little over year ago, and then
assumed control of the property, which
brought in annual income of about
i've thousand dollars. She took a trip to
Highland Springs, and there a lively
widow persuaded her that she ought to
become widow herself in orr ar
to enjoy the social fraado,r
that unmarried woman cor
never hope to gain. Full of the pro-
Ject, she returned to Oakland and formed
the acquaintance of Captain and Mrs. K.
nj. Apgar. To them she confided her
longing for social emancipation. She de.
clared that she was bound to become a
widow, and thought If she could marry
some man who was on his death-bed it
would be about the right thing. Apgar
agreed that If she was determined TO

DE accordingly introduced this peculiar
young woman to DR.. Dupuy. DIR. Dupuy
declared that he knew of Just the man to

poor printer named Frank Mckee, who had
beautiful case of consumption and who
could not possibly live more than a month.
Miss Brown thought that she had found
just the man she wanted and apreed IN

day she and Apgar went to the Office of

MIN over with a critical eve, thumped
his chest vigorously, and made him cough
several times for the purpose of ascer-
tanning II the investment was a safe one.
She finally concluded that she would
take the chances of his living. Mckee
consented to marry the girl for a money
consideration and the pair were welded
by Justice Wood They did not depart
together. 1t had been agreed that the
husband should go aud die by himself.

Taking Care Of His Hens.

A prominent Piscataquis County (Me.)
man had q lot of Plymouth Rock hens, In
which he took great pride. They had
been allowed to go under the barn during
warm weather, entering through a small
hole in the wall. One cold day, after the
nrst snow, he thought it time to, shut
them out, as it was not suitable place
Tor them during the severe weather. Ac-
cordingly he placed board over the
mole ara banked it with snow. fort
night later his wife startled him by re-
marking, as they sat at the table: 'I
would like to know where all the Plym-
outh Rocks are; have visited the hem
house and can't find one" Dropping
knife and fork he started for the barn.
ray of light falling through the floor
revealed the forms of his favorities lying
dead, every one. Instead of shutting
them out he had fastened them in.

made Of remarkably delicate and beautiful
shades of the precious fabric. One worn
by PAX Chung Yang the chief of the lega-
ton, is of a shade that can be described by
no better term than sky-green. 1t resem-
bles the delicate apple green sky that
is so rarely seen in prairie sunset at the
West. The Coreans wear shoes very much
like the Chinese sandals. Their harris nev-
er cut, and they wear it in long braid
coiled up on the back of the head. 1t is the
custom wherever they go TO keep their hats
on. At the reception at the White House
the entire legation wore the turbaned hats;
on the street they wear very much like the
old fashioned bell-crowned hats.
These Coreans have come to Washington
to stay; they have taken a capacious resi-
dence on o street not far from Scott
Circle, which is in the neighborhood of the
Spanish, Mexican and Chinese Legations,
and with DIR. Allen, the American Secre-
tary of the legation, they intend to make
their home there and cultivate friendly re-
lations with the United States. DR.. Allen
is tall, spare, slightly bald young man
who has spent the last seven years in
Corea, and has the confidence of the Her.
NIT Nation. For the last four years he has
been physician TO the royal family. He had
first lived in China and had mastered its
language. His relations with the ruler of
COrea are due to his having saved the life
of Prince Min Yong Il1 who in an outbreak
Of some traitorous natives was terribly cut
with scimetars, and lay at the point of
death when the young American doctor
was called to attend hlm. American sur
gerry saved the Princes life; the gashes
were sewed up, the arteries tied, and in
due time the Prince recovered.
DR.. Allen says that Corea contains fifteen
million people, although it is not larger
than the State of Pennsylvania. The
Coreans are Mongolians, and China claims
that the Corean realm is one of its de-
tendencies. Art and literature have
reached high standard in Corea, and the
COreans are on the whole a progressive,
active and earnest people. They keep up
