In matters Of religion every Boer, with
hardly az exception, belongs 10 the Lutheran
or Dutch Reformed church, rs it is called at
the Cape. As Illustrating their simple faith
and credulity in matters Of dCctrinal belief
the following amusing incident Is related;
Many years ago the late Mr.. Burgers al one
time president Of the Transvaal, but at that
time the Rev. Mr. Burgers, an able and popu
lar preacher, was suspected Of having I'M
bibed somewhat freely Of the schismatic doc
trines of what was known in those days as
the Modern School Of Theology Certain
rumors gave rise to such grave scandal that
the venerable deacons, or elders, resolved to
bring him 10 task, anda synod was convened
TO discuss the question. One Of the serious
counts in the indictment was, That Mr..
Burgers had declared that the Evil One was
not, in his opinion, embeilished with tan
and horns. The special witness-a fine old
specimen Of crusted Boer orthodoxy-on be-
ing asked by the president Of the synod what
scriptural grounds he had himself for belieI
in those appendices, triumphantly produced
as evidence an immense Bible, Oh one OF the
plates of which were Enthusiastically repre-
scented all the accessories denied by the &C
cused.-London Globe.

purposei 10 build an astronomical obserYa-

a few days before bis death, when be went
TO New York city ON bis way TO Europe. and
was stricken with a sporadic case Of the
deadly fever
Yellow fever in New York city is very rare,
and mos. of the cases have been commrnica-
tad bv refugees from infected districts Since
The wear 1900 there have been 4i6 deaths in
New York city from yellow fever There
has scarcely been year during the century
a. which there has not been at least one death
from the fever ID 1905 the plague visited
the city and over 100 deaths onsued. IN le22,
hundreds oft people were stricken with the
scouragc, and 1866 died. In the intervening
years, between ls23 and 1870, there were
from one 90 fifteen deaths q year from the
disease. In 1856 between April 10 and Oct.
4, seventy-uinc infected vessels arrived in the
bay of New York, and anchored four
miles above and below the NarrOws, between
Long Island and Staten Island, from Graves
end bay 20 within a short distance of New
Brighton. The fever extended 10 the land
along the borders of each island opposite the
line Of Infected vessels and no further, except
one spot ON the south side of Governors
Island and another about opposite on the
Jersey shore Thirteen deaths from the dis
ease occurred iu New York, but they had all
been infected outside of the city, and no.
cases originated in either Now York OF
Brooklyn During July, August and sep
TENDER sixty-four cases occurred on Gov
em0rs Island and several hundred along tho
shores of Long Island and Staten Island.
There are many VINO recall the fearful
epidemic Of 1870 Yellow fever IN its most
terrible form was then rampant The city
itself was not So much afflicted as Governors
Island, where tine germSof the disease were
planted and hossomcd forth and where a
great many people died How the microbes
got there none knew. nor was the disease
known until three persons had died. IL had
been first described as remittent and inter
mittant fever Tie disease ragged there until
October. when tho welcome arrival of frost
killed it or and stayed Us ravages. Nearly
300 ont of 500 soldiers bad felt the effects OF
the scourge, and hfty-two deaths cnsued
The quarantine system Of New Yorl, is as
perfect as Any IN the world, and 1t Is said
that. with the present sanitary arrangements
Of the City, 1t would be almost impossible for
the dreaded fever TO make much Roadway.
1t is said on good authority, moreover, that
the disease is not SO contagious in northern
cities. like New York, as is smallpox; indeed,
some physicians Of high standing 80 SO far rs
10 say that Il is not contagious 1T all The
weight Of evidence, however, would seem 10
indicate that u is.
1t is not generally known that there were
two deaths from yellow fever in Brooklyn
