billiard balls was recently advanced TO

been going on In Zanzibar for year or
moro between the Arab traders and the
natives on the ono hand and the German
leaders OF the protectorate at Zanzibar

the manufacturers say, had the effect OF
greatly retarding the expectation OF

~
Outdoor Exercise the Most Effectlve Of
f 4 Known Remedies. Tif
There is suggestive Significance in
the original meaning of the names ap-
piled to many diseases OF the human
race. "Fever" is derived from the Latin
word ferere, to boil or seethe. and an ex-
cess OF heat is actually the chief cause
of most febrile disorders. Tho word
scrofula is derived from stis sercfd, the
common hog, ON account of the fre-
quency of specimens Of the genus pig
being affected with enlargement OF the
lymphatic glands, and other symptoms
OF what physicians call a 'cachectic
diathesis," /. e., q taint of blood corrup-
tion. That corruption is due to the un-
clean food OF the dirt-grubbing grunter,
and in many cases is no doubt directly
transmitted from diseased pigs to the
organism of pork-eating men. Still
more frequently, however, a similarity
Of results is due to similarity of causes,
and the Kings Evil' was apt to attack
persons addicted to the use of any kind
of mwholesome food-decayed or indi-
gestible vegetables, alcohol, sour bread
and the horrid salt-beef diet Of our
medieval ancestors. .tfel
In certain families scrofula, however,
continues to appear in early childhood,
despite of considerable reform in the
habits. of domestic life, and In such
cases must be attributed chiefly to the
influence of a hereditary taint which,
like hereditary consumption, afiiicts
children for the sins Of their fathers.
There seems, indeed, to be casual con-
nection between tho Kings Evil" and
pulmonary consumption, which has
justly been called pulmonary scrofula."
Eruptions on the skin, especially about
the neck and head, are the first symp-
toms, soon followed by q chronic nasal
catarrh ("cold in the head"), an irri-
tated condition of the muous membrane,
characterized by a profuse discharge
continual smiling and often an ugly
hacking cough. The upper lip becomes
sore and much enlarged, the nostrils
swollen, there are occasional discharges
from the eyes and oven from
the ears. Infiammations OF the bones
and joints mark a more advanced, and
less curable, stage of the disease; butin
a plurality Of cases the symptoms are
limited to skin eruptions and malignant
catarrh--both apt TO disappear as soon
as the child is transferred from anill-
ventilated nursery to sunny play

About forty-flvo feet up this tree the
