Leprosy Among the Indians.

Word has been received at Ottawa
that the Chinese lepers in British
Columbia have communicated the ter
rible malady to the Indians, says the
San Francisco Chrontcle. Senator Nc
Innis. from British Columbia, states
that out of the total Indian population
OF the province, which he places at
forty thousand. he believes there will
not be five thousand living in a quar-
ter of Gentry from this time, as the
result of leprosy. The British Colum-
bia authorities have for several wears
known of the presence of Chinese lep-
ers, but have taken little or no action
against them, fearing that the agita-
ton OF the subject would turn away
the tide of immigration coming from
Europe
This story must be received with a
certain degree of caution. There is
no doubt but that the prevalence of
leprosy among the Chinese is greatly
exaggerated, as we here in California
nave reason to know. 1t is only a few
years ago that we heard the most
blood-curdling tales of the horrors of
leprosy among the Chinese in this
city, but careful investigation failed to
substantiate the stories. A few cases
were found which the doctors pro-
nounced leprosy. but even those were
challenged by others of the medical
fraternity. When we are asked to be-
lleve that the Chinese in British Col
umbia have SO infected the Indians
with leprosy that thirty-tiEe thousand
will die of the disease i'm the next
twenty-five years, our incredulity is
pardOnable.
Still. it may be true that the awful
malady has been communicated to the
Indians. Their habits are such, their
existence in the midst of dirt aud filth
is so congenial to the disease, that it is
quite possible that it has gained foot
hold among them. Leprosy seems to
thrive best among those who are not
cleanly In their personal habits, and so
it should find hot bed ready prepared
for its termination among the Indians;
for ii their be nasty, dirty. greasy,
filthy human being ON earth it is the
noble red-man of British Columbia,
and, indeed, of this whole Pacific
coast. They differ widely from the in
terror Indians, like the Nez Perces and
other tribes, though these are none too
cleanly; but compared with the salmon
fed Indians of the coast, they are the
Temple of Juno to the Augean stables.
Between Cinnamon and Indians
there is little to choose in point of
cleanliness, and it is a moot point
whether the association would not be
as fatal to one as to the other. The
Indian question in British Columbia,
with the help of the Cinnamon, may
settle itself.

ssThe Father of His Country"

hostilities were already in progress
against the American colonies, the
above epithet was applied to George

the year after news had reached Lon

streams their thawing sides provide.
II ufiitarian objects be forwarded by
the expedition it will much more
probably be in the direction of mineral
thanS agricultural industries. Coal
exists IN large quantities. There are
graphic, iron and lead. Though they
have not as yet been discovered in
masses and with facility sufficient to
make the working pay it is more than
likely they may be plentiful inland.
Already the country is famous for a
mineral known to exist in but one
other spot of the earth alone. At
Ivigtut, on the Arsut ford is an area
of 400 feet in length by some hundred
deep. and of the same or a less
breadth. which is occupied almost
wholly by an immense nodule of cryo-
lite. Cryolite is valuable for CONVEX
sion into soda and alum, and the
average yearly export of it is said to
be seventy thousand tons. Whether

Millionaires Do 1t.

'.About the most disastrous result of
sudden wealth. says a well-known
amateur athlete, lis the expensive
cigar. If man smokes enough 25-
cent perfectos he can break down his
constitution in less time than it would
take if he smoked opium. This is
particularly true of heavy men, who
put on flesh rapidly, or who were
formerly athletes. The tobacco smok-
ed always seems to go to the heart of
men of this particular build. If they
smoke the heavy 25-cent cigars. they
are bound to know it before much
time has elapsed. The best rule for
man whose heart is troubled at all is
to stick to 5-cent cigars. 1t may hu-
initiate him at times to call for them,
but he may be sOlaced by the fact that
millionaires do it. Instead of giving
up the habit altogether, it would be
better to take halfway measures and
come down to cheap cigars.

A Song.

Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats q song that ie half q sigh,
Like the sound of leaves when the wind
sweeps by,
As they beat and sob
As ey beat and thrOb.
Till hear q voice in the distant roar
On that lovely stretch of sandy shore.
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats q song for the dying year
A song that thrills with an unshed tear
ThrO' the winter twilight, cold and gray.
AS the breakers sob,
As the breakers thrOb,
And near that voice with sts old re1rain,
For those days that never come back again.
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats song for my sweet lost youth
For. o. would give in " ~ truth
hicpes, and fame, and power away
To dream once more
Those bright dreams Ger
1T is vain regret" signs that old refrain,
For the days that never can come Dack again.
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats a song for the dying year,
A song that thrills with an unehed tear.
Like the sound of breakers far away
How they beat and sobl
How they beat and thrOb!
And hear that voice with its old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.

Turnip Bread.

There was a dearth of wheat in
England in 1929, 1880, and 1893, and,
in those years bread was made of tur-
nips. They were boiled until they
were soft enough to mash, when the
greater part of the water was pressed
out ofthem. An equal weight of wheat
meal was then mixed with the pulp and
the dough was made in the usual manner
with yeast. The dough rose well in the
trough and. after being kneaded, was
formed into loaves and put in the oven.
Bread prepared in this manner has a
peculiar sweetish taste, which is said
to be not disagreeable; it is as light
and white as wheaton bread and should
be kept about twelve hours be-
fore being cut, when the smell and
taste of the turnip will scarcely be
perceptible.

Then the voices faded away, ,lheard
no more, for unconsciOusneSs again
lowered its pail over my senses. But
that night. as the doctors had said, the
crisis came, and morning found me
out Of danger that had menaced my
life for week past.
Knowing of our plans to row out
for the lilies, Ralph had determined to
surprise us by coming down to the
boat-h0use at the time of our intended
departure and accompanying us. But
he had arrived too late for that, and
inst in time to hear our cries of dis
tress.
There was another boat in the boat
house belonging to our neighbor, and
in few minutes time he had launched
it and FASTENED to our aid.
He had seen me spring into the wa
ter. and heard Thyra's shrek; but

age and presence of mind, my eyes
would never have opened upon this
world again. Twice / had sunk; the
third time rose near the boat. By
that time it had filled with water so
that Thyra's body was completely sub
merged, and she was clinging to the
edge. But unnindfnl. that by so do
ing she was lessening her sole remain
ing chance of safety, she grasped my
dress and held on to me until, her
strength becoming exhausted, she, too,
sank.
But Ralph was there. A moment
more and he would have been too late.
AS it was, it was only with infinite diff
ficulty that the rescue was accom-
plished.
And so, after all, I lived for Ralph
instead of dying f6fi'hihi.
