aesthetic Postal Cards.

I'VE may decide on pale blue shade" said
Postmaster General Wanamaker to the Detroit
Free Press. in talking of the new postal cards
the other day, "or a pale gray shade, or it NAV
be that pearl or yellow shads would be best
The color and sizs are still subject to change
The pale gray was the color we favored but, as
say, we may later decide on some pale shade
OF blue, or perhaps on pearl or yellow.
These new postal cards will be the handsomest
things OF the sort ever offered to buyers. There
will be two new varieties-a large card, perhaps
third larger than the present ordinary card.
OF complexion suggestive of torpid liver. and
another size. just the least bit smaller than the
present card.
These cards" went on Postmaster General
Wanamaker, will be almost peony postage.
Their size will enable one to indite a quite
lengthy epistle ON them all for one cent" But
1t is the pale gold or pearl colorei card that
will be the greatest bargain. 1t will not hold
so much, but it is to be an uncommonly attrac.
tive affair.
A dispatch from Connecticut speaks of these
dainty postal novelties as postal cards for
ladies" Mr.. Wanamaker says this is nonsense
The cards viii be sold to gentlemen or children
at the uniform rate of cent each and 70 cents
per dozen. and any one who choos will be
allowed to use them. The rumor that the cards
were TO be scented is unfounded-
MIR. Wanamaker does not expect that the
cards will be in the market much earlier than
six months hence.

Dangers in Diagnosis.

Dread and terror pervades the city of
Chester. Penn. Within the past week
an alleged ''undoubted case of leprosy" has
developed there. Aim st simultaneously
with the blizzard in March, 1887, the man
located in the city. He said his name was
John Anderson, Swedish sailor, and he
Immediately consulted medical advice for a
scab on his forehead, which appeared to be
spreading. Having no experience with
leDrosy the physician treated the man for a
common skin disease, and for several years
he lost sight of his patient Anderson, In
the meantime, went to board at house in
the Sixth ward, associsting with the
other boarders without a thought of the
deadly disease which would eventually con-
sign him to living tomb. He worked at
whatever he could get to do, and all
the time that dreadful scab spread
in dull-red blotch Last week Anderson
again consulted the physician, who was
astounded to find a genuine case of leprosy
on his hands. Afraid to trust his own dag
nosis, he sent Anderson to the University
Hospital with letter giving history of the
sailor as far as he had learned it, and asking
the doctors to examine the patient carefully.
When the diagnosis was made they
concluded that the man was in the
first stages of interstit,al leprosy
When Anderson returned to Chester
bearing this unwelcome intelligence the
board of health was notified, and a consul
tation was held as to what disposition to
make of the victim. To keep him there
meant to quarantine the city, and the Phi la
delphia board of health declined to receive
the man. After conference it was
decided to quarantine him outside OF
the city limits. Still, there seems
to be no absolutely certain evidence that
the man has leprosy. Since the doctor
proved to be so egregiously in error in his
first diagnosis, it is just possible that he and
his confreres may be mistaken again. In
that event the poor man will be kept in
solitary confinement in all the appalling APP
prehenslon of unknown horrors until he
may be driven to insanity or death. Pro-
ceedings in such case should be very care
fully taken.

Cisy's Jealousy of Jackson.

its gratitude" Clay's mouth was very De

But on another occasion proved a worse
courtier still His Jealousy of jackson is well
known, and the two men formed a very striking
cont asst. During long sitting he spoke of his
old rival, and, knowing that had Just painted
the dying mans portrait he said:

a knowledge of the use of fire and artifi-
cial lights has always been regarded a.
distinctly human, and as marking definite
separation line between man and The lower
animals. 1t would appear from par graph
in Stanley's new book, "Ia Darkest AT lea, y
that this distinction can no longer be
claimed. On page 423 of the first volume
that work, the author says that among ether
natural history notes which he CLEANED
from Emin Pasha was the following: 1.-THE
forest of Msongwa is infested with a large
tribe of chimpanzees. In summer time, at
night, they frequently visit the plantations
of Mswa station to steal the fruit But what
is rem rkable about this is the fact that
they use torches to light the way Had /
not witnessed this extraordinary spectacle
personally, l should never have credited
that any of the simians understood the art
of making fire."
