An Interes. ling Medical Report on the
Dead Disease.


Dead Disease.
There are three different kinds of lep-
ROSY, but all are merely varieties of one
morbid condition. The period of incu-
baton of the disease is long and its
progress slow. In the blood and saliva
OF people in this condition microbes are
found similar to those in the sores of
lepers. These appear to be the chief
cause of the diseas3. Ola report made
by medical officer claimed that mala-
ria was a cause of leprosy. This appears
20 be refuted by the fact that localities
which are specially free from malarial
poison may contain lepers while viii
lage with miasmatic surroundings will
not possess any infected inhabitants,
Neither do filthy customs appear to
cause the disease. Two villages near
each other may be alike in malhygienic
customs, and one will contain lepers
while the other does not A want of
personal cleanliness certainly sEcour-

Too Happy While Single.

TO tie Editor:
In small towns that are comparatively
unaffected by the progress of the times,
marriage is as prevalent as IL was in years
gone by. Not so in our large towns and
cities. Here all is changed.
In former years one Of the unclaimed
blessings was looked upon with CON-
miseration by all the rest OF her sex; to-
day she is bonored and respected by all.
The education Of woman has developed
in her an individuality unknown to
former generations. and has made her
capable of depending upon herself. This
self-reliance and independence prevent
many men of to-day from marrying, for
they know that they can't offer to tho
woman of their cf oico the luxuries of life
that her own trade or profession affords
her.
On the other hand. this change has
brought TO man the comforts of lie and
home without the responsibility and ex-
pense of wife. His apartments are cared
for by u servant, good meals are obtain
able. his darning and mending are done
at the laundry. companionship he finds
everywhere. In short. he is comfortable
and happy, and being already welded to
his business, he feels that It is unneces-
sary 10 form stronger union.
