Whole libraries have been written about
Malaria and malarial diseases by the learned
men of all nations. How far the physicians
may differ from one another IN thelT views on
other subjects IL ey all ag.ee on this that the
seat of Malaria is in the blood and that IL par
ticularly affects the mit. Malaria may occur
anywhere; but it is especially prevalent IN
damp and low lying regions with heavy soil.
IL occurs very seldom In northern Europe, put
it prevails in North America, Central America
and South America particularly IN such parts
OF this continent which have moist and
warm climate. Malaria is not contagious
disease In the usual acceptation OF the term.
Even in those countries In which IL appears IN
an endemic form ii can be guarded against by
of the most common rules OF health. Among
these the most important are moderation IN
eating and drinking and avoiding the damp
night-air. One OF the most important conditions
for the preservation Of health is perfect dges-
tion and In connection with this free clrcula-
on OF the blood and a rapid removal OF all
waste matter from the body. The enlargement
OF the milt which Is noticed in all malarial dis
eases ana which In obstinate cases becomes

that the principal cause OF the disease Is 10 De

The American Ea 10.

1t has been proposed lately to orna-
msnt the tip of the fagstatfs nsed i'll
the regular army of the United States
with g representation in metal of the
bald eagle, which is the emblem of our
republic. The staffs of regimental
standards now terminate with a pike.
The eagle has already done duty in his
way upon the standards of other
nations, and particularly upon those of
Rome and France. The American
eagle, however, is of different variety
from the eagles of France and the one
Roman Republic. 1t is an variety
the "b8ld,' or white-headed eagle.
The ordinary name Of the bird is a
misnomer. 1t is not bald, but mply
white-headed, the feathers on the head
and neck of adult specimens being
snowy white.
The honor of first naming this bird
as the emblem of the United ) ates be-
longs to John S. Au ubon, tse 1aur-
Rlist, whose name will be forever as
sociated with our bird-l.fe. lie called
the bald eagle the "Washington
eagle" because, he sad, "Wash n2-
ton was brave, IS the Gag /. l. ke
II, too, he was the terror of his enc
mics, and his fame, extenGing from
poe TO polr, resembles the majestic
sosrings Of the mightiest of the feath-
cred tribe. If America has reason to
be proud Of her Washington, SO has
she to be proud of her great eagle"
The bald eagle, with W ngs extended
or "displayei proper" as it is called
in heraldry, wa, made the omb EN- Cf
the United States in the year 1888.
Benjamin Franklin did not approve
the choice. The bald eagle, he
declared, was very evil-disposed
bird, who would not earn an honest
living, but got his livelihood by vio-
lence, deceit and rapiDe. lie did not
consider such creature a worthy en-
blem of people who had valian'ly
driven out of their country all kingly
birds of prey.
Frankln's critical judgment did
not prevail. 1t is true, as he declared,
that the bald eagle lives chiefly by vio
lence and theft, swooping down upon
the osprey, and snatching from this
industrious bird the fish that it has
just caught. But the eagle, on occa-
sion, can take fish out of the water
with great skill.
The eagle, 10, moreover, a bird of
dignity as well as of bravery and
beauty, and its strong attachment to
Its home certainly recommends it as an
American emblem

FLOWERS IN THE HOSPITALS,

"Flowers are lovely, Love is fiower-liks."
In some of the large cities here chrys-
tnthemums and other flower shows are
annually held, 1t has become a Gus.
tom on breaking mp, to send the
remainIng flowers to the city hospitals.
If those who had been daily through
the flower week, admiring the fringed
Japanese beauties, the dewy, fragrant
roses and the brilliant carnations,
could have seen the comfort they
brought to the sorrowful and suffering
inmates of ward aud dormitory, they
would have believed fully IN the mis-
sion of flowers. Sick children stretched
out their Ianguid arms and begged for
flowers TO be laid upon their pillows,
men with bandaged limbs held them in
unmutilated hands and smiled at their
beauty; women on beds of pain forgot
for time their sufferings as they look
ed into the sweet faces of the blossoms
and smelled their fresh fragrance.
The prize chrysanthemum with its
royal colors, and twisted and incurved
petals, was held as some precious thing
in the worn bands of an aged woman.
The white rose, worthy to deck the
bridal of queen, lay nestled against
the fever-fushed cheek of bearded
man. whose matted hair and rough
hands showed that he was a son of toll.
Upon a white cot lay beautiful. white
orchid almost priceless in value. Thin,
transparent fingers handled it lovingly,
and a smile of peace came into the face
where already the shadow of death had
fallen.
Here was n young mother clasping
her babe of few hours old, and be-
tween them was dropped a handful of
blushing rose-buds. And so the flowers
went on their missions of love and held
court as royal as when wealth and
beauty and fashion gazed upon their
stately beauty at the flower show.

ODD BUILDINGS FOR THE FAIR,
BY ANON.

There is every indication that the
Worlds Fair-or, more properly, the
Columbian Exposition-to be held in
Chicago in 1898 will be the most stu
pendous exhibition ever seen. All the
world will be represented, although
our country will naturally monopolize
The greatest share of the space and ex-
hibits.
1t is expected that, in addition to the
Exposition buildings proper, nearly
all foreign nations and every home
State will erect building bearing its
name, and which shall serve as head
quarters for the visitors from that
special district. This is the same idea
that was 80 successfully carried out at
ihe Centennial Exposition in Philadel-
phia.
There will be, however, more of
these buildings at the Columbian Ex-
position, and the variety of design will
be much greater. Among the many
already projected, three will be es-
pecially prominent.
Japan is to have two acres of space.
On this it is proposed to lay out a
Japanese garden in the Oriental
style and erect buildings to be copied
from the finest specimens of Japanese
architecture, and tbs intended to leave
garden and building as q present to
Chicago.
The buildings to be reproduced are
the kinkakuji, Monastery of the Keu
sect, situated in Kioto. its name signi-
flying the golden pavilion" and its
date 1897.
The other building is the Phoenix
Hall, one of the oldest structures in
Japan, dating back to 1862. 1t is
called the Phoenix Hall on account OF
its shape, which is intended to repre-
sent that fabu ous bird; the two o-storied
central part being the body, the colon
made right and left the wings, and the
corridor behind forming the tail. The
frieze work Is very grand and extern
sive. Gold lacquer work, inlaId with
mother-of-pearl, is abundantly used,
while the doors, walls and panels are
covered with paintings of celebrated
artists.
OF the unique buildings to be erect.
ed by the States, those of Florida and
Pennsylvanis will attract the most at.
tention. Old Fort Marion, the oldest
and most picturesque structure in
North America, and the most impor-
tant of Spanish relics, will be repro
duced.
Begun In 1856, when the Pilgrim
Fathers were founding Plymouth col
ony, this four FASHIONED fortress was
old long before a white man ever saw
the waters of Lake Michigan. Its
form is admirably adapted for a strik-
ing display of Florida's peculiar and
varied resources and attractions, the
moat and ramparts affording oppor-
tunitles for q series of sunken and
hanging gardens Of marvellous interest.

An Able Thousand Islands Fish Story.

The Hon. ID. L. Petit of Syracuse
started out one evening in company
with his usual Oarsman, and proceeded
20 the fishing grounds near st. Johns
Island. They had been there only a
few minutes, when Mr.. Petit discov-
cred that he had ''bite." The oars
man cautioned him about losing the
huge fish, for that is what it appeared
% be, and rowed to an island near by,
yhere both men were unable to pull
he fish ashore. Mr.. Petit tied the
kne to tree and then came to the
Park Hotel, in company with the
oarsman, where a number of men and
q steam yacht was procured to go and
get the fish. The party Immediately
proceeded to the spot only to find the
6sh, tree, and island had all disappear
ed. The party were, of course, disap-
pointed, as the fish could not be weigh

TRAPPISTS IN KENTUCKY.

The cloister of Trappists to-day ex-
listing in Kentucky and known as the
"Abbey Of Gethsemane," owes its
direct origin TO the Abbey of Da Meill-
eraye of the departments Loire In
ferivre," in France, SAYS the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. The abbot of the lat
ter had made an arrangement with the
French Government TO lay the found
alton for a convent of their Order on
property situated on the Island Mar
Unique, and denoted to them by Louis
Philippe. After the downfall of his
regime the original plan was abandon
ed in favor of n colony in the United
States, which was accomplished in
1S4S.
The Trappists possess but two mon-
asteries in the United States-the above
mentioned, which is the oldest, and one
near Dubuque, Ia, a branch of the
Abbey of Ireland.
The dominions of the Abbey of
Gethsemane comprise about seven hun
dred acres of land, part of which is
cultivated, the other consisting of ex-
tensive woodland nils, which furnish
the timber for the steam sawmill of the
monastery. In the midst of this area
are found the settlements of farmers.
The monastery itself is reached by
following long avenue, inclOsed on
each side by cedar hedge and shaded
by a row of magnificent English elms,
all of which We're grown from one
original tree.
Wandering through this delightful
avenues wondrous quiet, interrupted
but now and then by the soft rustling
of the tree tops and the half-hushed
twitter of the birds nesting in their
branches, one reaches the porter lodge,
q low brick structure, flanked on either
side by two stone walls, which thus
separate two worlds from each other.
Emerging from the covered walk of
the lodge there spreads before the en-
chanted eve a delicious corner OK land
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and walks
bordered by cedar hedges and so
thickly strewn with shavings that the
heaviest football is lost unheard. Beau
tiful pattern-beds and luxuriant green
swards contrast tremendously with the
deep shadows thrown by solemn-look-
ing Benedictine trees-a splendid place
for pious recreation and serious con-
temptation.
Near the end of the grounds we find
hedged in an immense family of white
rabbits. enjoying their playful sports
surrounded by this grand and quiet
solemnity.
The Abbey of Gethsemene is a self
sustaining institution, in which the
well man is maintained, the sick
nursed and the dead buried. The daily
occupations are quite varied, resem-
bling those in one of our modern fac
tories, and offer sufficient play for the
various grades of intellect.
The Trappist Order subjects its
members TO all the cloistral vows
eternal and extreme poverty, chastity,
industry, silence, separation, penitence
and submission.
No Trappist monk is allowed to
walk outside the cloister without per-
mission; all tender and sympathetic
emotions, which in this life visit the
human heart, he is obliged to suppress.
The death of his nearest relative is
never announced to him. Forgotten
by the world, he himself forgets the
world.

HOW TO MAKE GOOD ooeFEE.

II
Coffee had been In use IN Eng ane
for about $50 years when Count him
ford wrote exhaustively on coffee max
ing, and his text is fresh and crlsI
reading to-day. He used the porcelain
or earthen coffee pot and perforated
earthen strainer on the top of the pot;
Hot water was poured on and allowed
to filter through.
An improvement has been made on
Count Rumford in substituting q
cotton flannel, or flannel bag for
his perforated diaphragm of earth
enware. which abbreviates the time
needed to filter. The best pot for
,naking coffee is one in which the pot
is earthen and the bag, of cotton, is
suspended, at the top. The best re-
suits are produced by having the coffee
ground extra fine while it is hot and
put into an air tight receptacle. When
a can of this ground coffee Is opened
its odor pervades the whole apartment,
rs the volatile oil has not had a chance
to escape.
In Hayti they roast, grind, aud use
their coffee at once.
To make good coffee:
First-Have the coffee good, fresh,
ground very fine.
Second-Pour hot water into the
coffee pot, SO as to heat it thoroughly
before use.
Third-Put (for an ordinary family
a teacupful of coffee, prepared as
above, into the bag at the top OF the
open heated pot.
Fourth-Pour on boiling water until
sufficient coffee is made. Renew as
required.
The process is one of displacement,
such as is used in pharmacy. 1t is
wonderful with what facility roasted
coffee imparts its virtues to boiling
water Probably no fruit gives up its
virtues so rapidly. A good cup OF
coffee can be made in one minute in
this way.
