INFLEUNZA.
1t Cannot Be Called a Product Of Advanced
Civilization.

Influenza is not, like some other diseases,
product of advanced civilization it is re-
ferred to by Hippocrates and other ancient
medical writers, and a formidable list of
epidemics III various parts of the world be-
tween the years 1173 and 1875 is given by
Hirsch. 1t is obvious, however, that no list
of this kind can be exhaustive either as to
the actual number of epidemics or the area
of prevalence of the several outbreaks. 1t
is not till the sixteenth century that we
meet with anything like detailed records on
the subject, and it is tOlerably safe to as
sume that till long alter that time only the
only the more serious outbreaks were chroni-
cled. Even at the present day, when the
machinery for the collection OF statistics is
so much near perfection than il has ever
been, it Is difficult and indeed impossible to
obtain trustworthy information as to the
preya lence and diffusion of diseases over a
very large part of the earth's surface. Even
as to China. which lies under some sus-
picon of being the natural home of in
iiuenza, as India is of cholera, we have moth
ing but rumnrs CT the vaguest kind.
With regard TO England, we have a fairly
complete history of epidemics of influenza
which occurred in 1910, 1857, 1880 1858
1915. ITO, 1929, 1923, 1873, 1743 1913,
17o2, 1867, 1875, 1882, 1903. 1881, 1888 and
1887. Further vistations took place in 1S43
aud 1878. besides limited outbreaks In
1S41, 1912, 1914. 1857 and 1866. That there
were other intermediate epidemics which
found no medical pen to chronicle them is
shown by such accidental references as the
following, which occurs in Mis- Strickland's
Life of Mary Stuart" In letter dated
November, 1862, Randolph, the Eng
liSh resident at the Scottish court
says: Immediately upon the Queens
arrival here (Holyrood) she fell ac-
Quainted with a new disease that is COM
mon in this town, called here the New
Acquaintance which also passed through
her whole household, sparing neither lord,
lady nor demoiselle-not so much as either
French or English. 1t is pain in their
heads that have it, and soreness in th,ir
stomach, with great cough; 1t rpmaineth
with some longer. with other shorter time as
it findeth apt bodies for the nature of the
disease. The Queen kept her bed six days {:
there was no appearance of danger. nor
many that die of the disease except some
old folk"
The new acquaintance is a very old
acquaintance now. and much has been
written on it by learned doctors, but do
not know that the prominent features of
the disease have ever been more accurately
hit off than in these few lines of Elizabeth 5
clear-slghted envoy.-Sir Morrel Mackenzie

an existence. Both OF them mention it in
their works and that the book was printed
exclusively for the novices at the monastery

the existence Of the first book printed in
New England is more generally recognized
on account of old Isaiah Thomas in his
History of Printing having made us ac-
Quainted with the fact. Thomas tells US
that in January, 1859, printing was first
performed in that part Of North America.
which extends from the Gulf Of Mexico to
the Frozen Ocean The first press and
font Of type were imported to New England
by the Rev Jesse Glover, who betrayed a
part OF the expense, the balance being con-
trlbuted by several other persons in New
England and Amsterdam. The first printer
VINO settled In what's now the United States
and turned out books here was a Lcndoner
named stephen Daye, who came along with
the printing plant and was set to work at
Cambridge, in Massachusetts. II is gener-
any supposed by many that the BAY
Psalm-book," imprited in 1910 and of which
a copy sold at the Harris sale for $500, has
the honor of being the first New England
book, but il is not so, as 1t was really an
'Almanack, for the year 1910, which. ac-
cordlng to Thomas and Winthrop. the his
torian, was compiled for New England by
Mr.. William Pierce, mariner That is a
lost book, no copy being known of in any
public OF private library. The first piece OF
printing actually done, though, on Daye's
press was broadside entitled The Free

The question is often asked, When is it
justifabIe TO kill a burglar? A foreible or
feionious attempt to violate mans rights
to his house or goods may be resisted with
any necessary amount of violence, even to
the extent of killing. but not where the
felony is without violence. But you cannot
appreciate kllling-yOu cannot kill him in
cold blood because you think he will kill
you. If after ordering man to leave your
house he remains there, and so terrifes
you that. for fear OF your life, you shoot
him. the law will not be very particular in
deciding whether you were or were not
within your right in shooting him. for
:" omnia pr9Sumutur contra spoliatorem."
1t is possible to justify the killing of a
burglar who has forcibly broken into, or is
breaking into, our house on the ground that
thereby our life was endangered, but If he
has already retreated and has escaped from
US, We are not, in the quaint language of an
old writer, justified in shooting him as ne
fieeth down the avenue.-The Gentleman's
Magazine.
