TYPHUS FEVER.

1t Is Disease Bred by ruth and Insani-
tary Conditions
A great deal has been said lately about
the danger of typhus fever, But while
it is dangerous enough its causes are SO
clearly defined that it would seem that
the disease might be easily avoided.
The necessary causes of typhus are dirt
and the budding together of a large
number of people; the accessory causes
are hunger, cold previous illness, want,
fatigue, care, dampness and infection
of the soil. Typhus fever breaks out
among population that has recently
undergone long siege; it also appears
on ships, the crews Of which are ex-
hausted either by a long voyage, by
previous illness, or by living in filthy
quarters.
Typhus is contagious, but this prop
erty only seems TO act at short dis
lance from one bed to another. In u
hospital it does not seem TO go outside
of the ward set apart for the typhus pa
tents, If these patients or the persons
connected with the ward do not carry it
out themselves. The infectious agent
usually has no action on persons who
only spend few moments near the
patients, but it rarely spares those who
pass their days and especially their
nights at the bedside.
The first well authenticated epidemic
Of typhus dates from 400, at the time
when Ferdinand and Isabella the Cath
Ollie, in beseging Granada, lost 1000
men from a contagious fever character
lied by seriously nervous symptoms and
an eruption similar to measles.
Typhus then appears again, a CEN
fury later, ravaging Italy from 1905 to
1850, declmating the French army be-
fore Naples and raging In nearly all the
larger Italian towns.
The last war epidemic was that caused
by the Russo Turkish conflict of 1871
and which appeared among the Russian
troops before they passed the Danube
Out OF 200, 600 sick men sent to the real
through Roumania typhus furnished thu
majority, possibly 100 600 which Leaves
us to suppose thatupward Of 30, 900 sue
cumbed from the scourge! When We
consider that the invading army started
out 900 to 1870, 900 strong we arr
forced TO limit that this entire arm,

Which Was the rrinne.

Some years ago masquerade ball
was given by the late Lady Marion
Afford, mother OF the present Earl
Br0wnlow, and very distinguished
company was invited. As all were TO
be marked, each guest was naturally
requested to present the card Of invi-
tation at the door Of Afford House.
And, equally naturally, several of
the maSQueraders had forgot to bring
their cards.
The first OF these, being a gentle
man of resource, hit, however, on a
plan to gain admission without the
required formula, that proved per-
fectly successful.
"Your card Of invitation, please,
sir"
Il am the Prince of Wales"
The servant bowed low, and the
pSeudo-prince passed up.
Ten minutes later another guest
arrived without his card. BY an odd
coincidence the same eXpedient oc-
Cured TO him.

The guest stared at him absent

BEARDED WOMEN OF THE FUTURE.

A learned German, who has devoted
himself to the study of physiology,
anthropology, and allied sciences, makes
the rather startling assertion that NOUS
taches are becoming commoncr among
women in the present day than IN the
past. lie tells us that in Constantinople,
among the unveiled women that are to
be met with. one out of ten possesses an
unmistakable covering of dom on tho
upper lip, In the capital Of Spain,
again, the proportion of ladies with this
masculine Characteristic is said to be
quite equal to that observable on the
Golden Horn. An American medical
man states that in Philadelphia fully
three per cent. of the adult fair sex are
similarly adorned, and probably the pro-
portion would be still larger but that
many women take the trouble to eradi-
cate the unwelcome growth by the APP
plication of depilatory preparations. Is
| this increase in the number of women
with hair on their faces to be regarded
as a SIGN that the human race is improv
ine9 Very few men. at all events, will
be disposed to consider that a moustache
adds to the charms of the opposite sex.
Englishmen, indeed, only generation
ago, had such detestation OF nous
taches and boards that the practice OF
shaving all hair off the face down to
their mutton chop whiskers was all but
universal. From one extreme our clean
shaver fathers plunged into the other
and boards and moustaches rapidly be
came the fashion. The fashion has OF
late years again been modified. Boards
are less common, but the moustache is
cultivated in England as widely as on
the Continent But why should the fan
sex be visited by this inhictionG Some
writers on ethnology hold that the higher
races of mankind are always the halrler
and Mr.. Mott thinks that in a few cen
turtles men and women will all be clothed
with hair. But we do not believe Mr.
Mott; and we certainly should not carr
to live to see the day of bearded beauty

TWO THOUSAND TONS A TRIP
That Is what the Big Ocean Grcyhounds
Consume.

That IL what the Big Ocean Greyhounds
Consume.
Few people realize what it costs to
propel steamship across the ocean.
On some of the big "greyhounds" the
coal bills for each trip mount up as high
as $1,000 The American liner New
York consumes about 1913 tons per day,
the White Star liner Teutonic about 3l6
tors, and the Cunarder Etruria $50
tons per day at full speed, IT has been
stated that the Etruria at a speed OF Is
knots burns only 275 tons per day. This
consumption would send the greyhounds
across with total use of 1000 tons in
round figures. The price of coal In
New York is about 81 per ton, which
would make the cost per trip about
50, 600.
The fuel bills of such ships are of
course far in excess of those OF the
average ocean steamer. Triple-expan-
sion engines and improved machinery
of the present day have made 1t posi-
BILE to so eConOmiZe coal that the con-
sumption per indicated horse power per
hour has been reduced in ratio to much
less than two pounds, as against nine
pounds in 1886 and five and one half
pounds in 1910. The Teutonic's aver
age is quoted at Is pounds per hour.
The majority OF ocean steamers of or
! binary size, travelling at an easy gait,
| think a ton of coal per hour is quite ex-
| travagant enough for their propulsion.
| Our big new war ship Iowa will have a
bunker capacity for only 1000 tons OF
coal to speed her at Is knots, the Indi-

tons, the 2,000-ton cruiser Cincinnati S
bunker capacity will be only 500 tons,
and the crack Japanese ship Yoshino,
with a speed Of % knots, has bunkers
to hold only 1000 tons.

The Word "Viklng."

Because the word viking has come
to be pronounced with long ri" in
the first syllable, and the 'k' has in
consequence been transferred to the
second syllable, the popular Impress
ion is that the ancient viking was a
monarch of the sea. As matter OF
fact the word means something very
like pirate "Vik" is almost equlva-
lent to 'wick" meaning creek, bay, or
inlet, and "ing" is only a suilix of
origin, a patronymic in some instances,
as in the name Buckingham. The
Vikings, then, were sors of the creek,
or creekers, unpleasant persons who
kept their light craft ready at nand
in creeks and bays to sally forth and
carry them to neighboring shores for
plumber. "Baymen Is one of the die
tionary equivalents Of the word, and
doubtless "baymen" is still in use
locally in one part of the United
States or another bay boat" is
certainly the popular name along the
Chesapeakes shores for steamboats,
that ply from port to port on the bay
New York sun.

THE HOSTESS, HEApcEAR.

The hostess at a luncheon party is apt
to look rather dowdy with her uncovered
head beside the smart bonnets OF her
guests, and it has become more or less
a custom for her to don hat herself
At a recent luncheon, however, the
giver of the feast hit upon better plan
which was to wear little head-dress
composed of lace butterfly bow stuck
on with a jeweled pin and twist of
velvet matching her dress around her
couture a la Grecque. This little ar
rangement gave the needed emphasis to
her toilet, and yet preserved her indi-
viduality as the lady of the house.-LSt

FOR THE LADIES'
THE QUEENS THREE RINGS.

It is said that the three rings which
Queen Victoria prizes the most highly
are: First of all, her wedding ring,
which she has never taken oil; then a
small enamel ring, with tiny diamond
in the centre, which the Prince Consort
gave her at the age of sixteen, and an
enamel serpent which he gave her as an
engagement ring. For many years after
the Prince Consort's death her Majesty
slept with these rings on her fingers,
only taking them off to wash her hands,
as the water would, of course, spoil the
enamel.-[St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Mr.. Imbrie's Testimony.

To the Editor o. he Evening Sta:
VIII You permit word Of explanation re-
gardin9 the las. of the testimony given by me
before the Ford's Theater inquest relative to
the friendly relations existing between the
clerks and the officer in charge of the record
and pension Office. l did lot intend to con-
vey the idea that the rules Of the Office were so
harsh that il applied to a private business the
clerks would leave. The two are no: identical,
and the rules suited for the one would not be
proper for the other: and the sympathy and
personal relations that might properly exist be-
tween the h al of well-re2ulated business
house and employees could hardly be considered
practicable when applied to the clerks and Off
cial head of II large department. OF the govern
mept. where the nature of the business and the
routine of work Is different
HGving commended in prior testimony that
the rules governing tins Office were wholesome
and necessary TO the transaction OF official
business, 1 wish to say this much, that my owl
dence might not seem contradictory.
