The Most Terrible Disease.

Leprosy now exists in almost ev-
cry part of the world. Its ravages
are particularly violent in the Sand
wich Islands, in Japan and China,
in India, Palestine, Brazil, Norway
and Sweden. There is no civilized
region Of the globe where isolated
cases may not be found. In 1870
there were said to be 10000 cases
of leprosy in England, and under
rule there, up to 1905, lepers were
buried alive. In the Sandwich
Islands there are now over two
thousand cases of leprosy known
and many more suspected. The
spread of the disease threatens the
extinction of the entire Hawaiian
race. In each country where it ex-
lists the history of its spread is the
same. The history of the Acadian
lepers is a perfect illustration. Start
ing from single case, brought to
the land in some chance way, the
presence of the disease is unnoticed
until it's virus is fairly in the veins
of a generation. The segregation
and imprisonment of lepers is then
ordered, but it seems almost impos-
sible to stay the slow creeping of the
disease among the people.-N. 7 Sun.

Negroes and Colored People" !"

A new inquiry is to be made by
the Collector of Vital Statistics for
the next census in this district
which may contribute something
toward the solution of an old prob
lem. Health Officer Townshend has
required the medical officers of the
city to furnish all information pos
sible as to the mortality of people
of mixed blood, mulattoes, quad
rooms, and to take a distinct classi-
fication of those persons in the
census. There has been in some
quarters some talk as to the crea-
ton of such new classification.
This hitherto has been true as to
some of the Southern States. But
the people who are not generally
classed in the census as "colored"
make the very distinction on their
own account. The mulattoes and
quadroons quite generally do not
have social relations with the very
dark negroes. So much is this the
case that there is one of the most
prominent "colored" church organ

be doubted whether a black negro
could obtain a seat in there. The
people of mixed blood constitute
almost caste. They look almost
with contempt upon the genuine
African, and are much chagrined
when any of their own children
show recurring family traits and
are as black as, for instance. the

Recollection Came Too Late,

During the shower the other day
a man was passing up State street
with an umbrella over his head,
when a stranger stepped out of q
doorway, grasped the handle and
said:
"I've been laying for you for
month. I claim this as my prop
erty."
"Ah! Exactly-I see," stammer-
ed the other, and he surrendered
without protest or a struggle, and
bolted for the doorway, while the
other walked off.
"Was it a stolen one?" queried a
man who had witnessed the affair.
"Well-er-well, l suppose I
picked it up somewhere"
He stood looking after the um-
brella for a minute or two, sad ex-
preston on his face, and then sud-
denly uttered a great oath and
slapped his leg.
"What is it?" asked his compan-
ion.
"By the big spoon, but what O.
fool / was l now remember that l
stole that umbrella in New Orleans
a year ago, and that fellow could
have no right to it. "-Philadelphia

At First Glance.

Fifty years ago the famous sur
geon of London was Sir Ashley
Cooper. He was remarkable for his
manuel dexterity and also for the
quickness and accuracy with which
at a glance he took in the whcle
situation. A striking proof of his
penetration was given on his being
called TO attend q Mr.. Blight, who
had been shot by an unknown as
sassin.
The moment Sir Astleyexamined
the wound he said: "a pistol has
been fired at you with the left hand .
On seeing Mr.. Patch, Blight's
partner, he was 80 struck by the
peculiar expression of his counten-
ance that he whispered: "If that
gentleman were left-handed Ishould
suspect him of being the murderer. "
Patch was left handed, and on be-
ing tried and condemned confessed
his guilt.-Youth's Companion.
