LepTosy is most common in warm
clmaees-in India. China, Africa, Mad.
sRascar, the West Indies and some isl.
pos OF the Pacific. But it is not con-
fllNed to warm regions. It is found in
SOME northern countries.
TIE disease, though slow in its nrop-
ress, is generally fatal. 1t assumes
one or three varieties. The first il
charac serized by tubercles in the skin
and the mucous membrane, which at
length uleerate, while other ulcers are
Independently formed. In the second
variety of tho disease the surface of the
body becomes numb and insensible
while severe neuralgia pains prevail in
wardly. In the third variety, the Joints
are specially affected, and the limbs
may be Topped off, though without pain,
at the ankle, knee, wrist or elbow.
Leprosy is infectious, and its microbe
has been discovered. The microbe has
great vitality, as it has been found in
bodies which had long been dead. The
germs may be introduced into the sys-
tenn by incubation, by inhalation, or
with the food. Every case, therefore,

Until within few years no concern

sound an alarm. The disease has OBJ.

Columbia on the west and in Minnesota

an increasing intercourse with the Sand

CHAPTER VIII.

II was perhaps just as we'll for Mr.. Ella
combe that Re yielded to Gerald's representa-
tions and went away without showing himself
again in the drawing-room; for had he done
as no felt INCLINED, he would have met with a
very unfriendly reception from Chris, whose
tenderest feelings he had managed to wound
by his unheard-of conduct to Peter. She had
been very angry with him for his impertinence
to herself, but she was furious with him for
having dared to lift up his hand against her
dog; and the circumstance that her dog had
shown himself remarkably well able to retail
ate did not, in her eyes, at all purge the Of
fender Of his guilt.
He is an utterly detestable man, and hops
shall never see him again" she said to Lady
Grace, who wanted to know what he had done
to rouse Peters ire.
However, by the next morning she had SO
far forgotten him that she had ceased to think
about him. Her spirits and her temper were
alike excellent when she went downstairs to
breakfast, and shs was free from any pre-.
sentiment Of coming trouble. She did no:
even imagine that anything disagreeabls was
going TO be said TO her, when, after she had
satisfied healthy appetite, Lady Barnstaple
took her atfectionately by the arm and led hel
into the library; which shows how ignorant
Of women and things she must have been, fol

something very disagreeable indeed.
Lady Barnstaple began by observing that
experience had taught her the folly Of beating
about the bush. One could not always tel
the whole truth, but whenever it was possible
to do DO the truth ought to be told, however
unpalatable 1t might chance to be. Otherwise
complications were apt to arise which few
plain words honestly spoken might have
averted at the outset.
Chris having signiAed her assent to this
| general proposition, the old lady cleared hel
throat and went on; "You know, my dear
child, take great interest in your welfare
both for your poor fathers sake and for your
| own, and few things would give me more sin
cerO pleasure than to see you well and suita
bly, married"
Chris said: Thank you, Lady Barnstaple
but don't think very much want to marry
anybody juss yet"
"You mean Of course that you would prefer
to wait until you areIasked. That is quite
right; but what every girl ought to be eau
doned against ia narryiny-or at least accept
ing--the frst man who may happen to asl

apparently no belongings, Probably her rela-

self to him, and one can only suppose that
she must like him.
Gerald groaned. eff she does care for the
man. said he. 81 hope she will marry him,
in spite Of her relations and friends At tho
worst, he would be better than Ellaaombe."
Lady Grace was unable to agree. Mr.. Ell
lacombe, she observed, If he had not much
character, had at least money enough to sup
port wife, which Mr.. Richardson had not :;
and Gerald was pointing out to her in vehe-
ment language how atrocious and ignoble q
thipgit is in woman to set wealth above
love, when his eloquence was interrupted by
the sudden appearance upon the scene of
Mr.. Ellacombe in person.
Ellacombe was sober and sorry; he had
ridden over in order to say so. With scarcely
any preface, he made SO abject an apology
for his conduct that even Gerald's hard
heart was softened, and his CONSERVATION on
hearing that Miss Compton had gone away
almost made the young diplomatist sympa-
thize with him. t'We are in the same boat. /"
Gerald thought; "neither of US is going to
win, so we needn't be jealous of one an
other"
''My dear fellow" he said, when the con-
trite Ellacombe declared that he could not
60 away without having begged Lady Barn
staples pardon, "don't bother yourself any
more about it. It's all right. My mo her no.
ticed nothing, and I'm sure she would much
rather you didn't speak to her upon the sub
ject."
But Ellacombe insisted and as, while they
were talking, Lady Barnstaple came in from
her drive, he fastened to tho front door and
intercepted her with very humble entreaty
for five minutes interview.
His request was of course granted; and
after he had abased himself and had been as
sured that, so far as his late hostess was con-
cerned, he was fully pardoned, he ventured
to inquire what chance there was Of Miss
Compton's proving equally generous.
~ know made beast of myself, and I
know she thought so,' he said, d iectedly;
"but, after all, it's one of those things which
might happen to anybody, isn't it?"

! pie; "but must cay that shouldn't advise

SOME QUEER COINS.
Interesting by Reason of Their Age a0d
for Other Causes.

Interesting by Reason of Their Age I'd
for Other Causes.
Here is the Oldest coin ever made in
the world" said q collector to report
or for the Washington Star one day last
week. 1t was minted about the year
700 Ii. c., in Egina, and you will OBJ
serve that the design in high relief rep
resents tortoise crawling across the
face of the piece. You will not find any
date upon it, because no coins were dat
ed prior to 400 years ago. The most
beautiful coin ever made, in my opin-
ion, is this silver piece of Macedonia,
which was current in Macedon, now
Constantinople, 500 years before Christ,
or 260 years earlier than the time of
Alexander the Great Though it's face
value is only SIS cents, the coin is worth
a price to-day that would astonish you.
"Here is a specimen of the coin of
smallest value ever issued. 1t is the
mite so-called, such as the widow of
the Bible story dropped into the slot for
the poor, though it was her last one.
One-hftieth of a cent it was worth, and
you observe that it's shape is hexagonal.
Close by you will notice a piece of
money worth 1920. 1t is simply a
rectangular piece of gold stamped with
the characters of China, from which
country 1t comes. Jumps of gold are
used in China for currency of large
denominations.
This coin with the head of the beau
tiful woman upon it, so exquisitely
designed, was minted in Egypt during
the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus,
2249 years before Christ The lovely
head is a likeness of Ptolemy's wife and
Queen, Arsonoe, who was grandmother
by six removes to the famous Cleopatra.
l put it that way because there were in
reality several Cleopatras, though most
people imagine there was but one.
Here is gold piece that was issued
by Darius the Great before the Children
of Israel returned from the captivity.
This is something mparativcly mod
ern-the marriage piece of Ferdinand
and Isabella, issued to celebrate tn cir
union some time before Columbus dis
covered America. Here is the smallest
coin ever issued-the thirty-second of a
ducat, minted in the year 1860, A. D.,
in the free City of Nuremburg. 1t was
worth ~ cents. By the way, the Swiss
it was who first put dates on their
coins.
FerhapS the funniest coins in the
world are these roundish irregular
Jumps of silver from Siam, running
down from the bigness of walnut to
the size of half buckshot, according to
value represented. You will notice
from the display of United States coins
in this other case that during the first
year when we coined money in this
country, in 1892, we had nothing but
copper. In 1894 we obtained some sill
yer from Mexico and two kinds of silver
coins appear. Not till 1795 did we have
gold coins, consequent upon the dis
covery of that precious metal in differ

ARAB IVORY RAID,

Cruelties Practiced by Tippo Tbs Tnhu-
man Mercenarles.
Soon after Tippo Tbs occupation Of
Stanley Falls, in 1879. rumors reached
Yabuli and the neighboring villages Of
oppression and persecution by the
Manyema. Chiefs met together to in
quire of each other the reason of this
invasion. Less than three years after
Stanley's fight with the Basoko at the
mouth Of the Aruwimi, the Manyema
mercenaries of the Arabs attacked and
destroyed several village higher up tho
same river, having travelled overland
from the Congo through the donse for
ests below Stanley Falls; and de-
scendlng the Aruwimi river in canoes
they laid waste all the villages by the
way, capturing men and women And i'm.
posing fines of ivory for their rademp-
ton upon those of the natives who
were fortunate enough to escape to the
woods. Although every precauticn was
taken by the people of Yabuli to guard
against surprise, they instinctively felt
impending evil and gloom settled over
the village affecting young and old
alike. They all appeared to realize
their isolated position, escape being i'm
possible as their neigh bors were at en-
mity with them and with each othcr,
and the poor wretches lived in a condi,
ton of fear bordering upon panic.
AT last the evil day arrived. Early
one morning, just before daybreak,
they were suddenly startled by the loud
reports of the Manyema guns. The
forest around the village appeard alive
with armed men who rushed among
their dwellings from all sides, firing
recklessly, sometimes in the air, into
the doors of the huts, and at the panic
stricken savages, who rushed toward
the woods for shelter. A few of the
Drawer natives stood their ground, and
hurled spears and knives at their as
sailants, but one by one they
dropped, shot by their bru-
tai enemy. After firing their
muzzle-loading muskets many of the
Manyema rushed upon the natives and
dubbed them with the butt end of their
guns. The women incum bered with
their children, whom they were bravely
trying to carry off to the shelter of the
woods, were soon overtaken by the
Manyema, who roughly threw them to
the ground and bound their arms and
legs. Nearly two-thirds of the women
and children were captured, including
the favorite wife of Ioka; but many of
the men and few women managed to
escape to the woods. Ward, ir

by Gen. Supt. Fl. F. Royce.

men who were TO be most affected by the
order. that the actual results of
It's enforcement might be more clearly
comprehended. There were number of
the enginemen Of the Rock Island pres
ent, but they were not disposed to ex-
press themselves. and Aid. W. F. Schroe-
der, who is thoroughly conversaut with
the feeling and the probable outcome of
the order, was called upon. he outlined
the situation as detailed in the ARGUS of
Monday night. The order would not
only necessitate the removal of the
crews running east from Rock Island to
Chicago as the headquarters, and thus de-
prive the city of fully two hundred of its
population, but entail hardship to the
men who would be obliged TO give up
their homes here which they had been
years in founding. and would increase
the time and nature of the work to such
/. an extent as to make 1t severe hard

cided steps should be taken looking to
having the order changed il possible.
Chairman Carse stated that be could
readily zee how the new order would
work hardship to the men If they were
Obliged to give up their homes here now
and move to Chicago, to say nothing Of
(, the increase in hours Of labor. He real
lied, too, that the new order would end
\ in the loss of several hundred families in

to Chicago.
