and some scientific men bold the opinion
that fish introduce the bacillus into tho
stomach, or stimulate It to activity when
It already resides in the tissues. Against
this theory, popular and scisntinc, there
are the facts that no bacilli have been dis
covered in ash, that castles which netr
touch fish furnish their due contingsn4s
Of lepers; and that the disease H. not
more rife in districts bordered BY the sea
and BY large rivers than anywhere else.
On the other hand, leprosy Il common in
hill tracts, where dsh ID very rare article
of food.
Mr.. c.. Conybeare, who some time ago
was apprehensive that leprosy vas due to
the high price of salt, will be much re-
lieved to hear that BY statistics to which
no exception can be taken on the ground
of inaccuracy the consumption Of salt il
shown to be twice ~ great a. the increase
Of the population in twenty years; that
the Royt spends on salt about one penny
q month for each of his family, and that
iftbere has been any perceptible addition
to the number Of iepers it has occurred
in provinces where the price Of salt has
fallen. Other alleged causes arc men
toned to be summarily dismissed.
Water, opium and mosquitoes have
each ia turn been made responsible
Now, the bacillus has never been found
in water, though the commissioners in
vain analysed the water Of filthy tanl
In which crowds Of lepers bathed.
Premature marriages and the con.
sumption of opium are not to blame, and
II mosquitoes or flies could communicate
the disease after they had sucked the
blood of any lepers, Calcutta, where these
little pests abound and murder sleep
should be perfect leper asylum.
On the question of infection and con-
tagion the report on "Leprosy in India
afirms that, "though leprosy may be
considered an infective disease, caused
by a specific bacillus, and also to some
extent contagious disease, /" it il not act
lively or usually diffhsed in this way
Again one might imagine that leprosy
must DO hereditary. This assertion, Il
not absolutely disproved, is by no means
certain.
Many lepers are sterile. There is no
evidence that the marriage of lepers with
lepers or with non.leperous women 81
ways diffuses the disease. The children
of lepers are often short lived, and Is far
~ returns can be depended on there are
never more than couple of children to
each marriage of lepers.

Light on Logarithms.

An expert engineer IN New England

had employed him to write technical
report. The aaount Of the 1se was large,
the corporation refused to pay It, and the
claim was carried into court.
During the trial the counsel for the cor
poratoo sought to belittle the experts

would be amply rewarded with > few dol

The plaintiff smiled maliciously, took
paper and pencil and began his work

him if he hsd finished. The plaintiff

A Model Texas Wife.

The best natured woman in the world |
resides In the city of Austin, Texas. She
has been married number of years to
man named Peterby, who is one of the
most disagreeable, quarrelsome men out
side of the Texas Legislature.
And yet Mr.. and Mrs. Peterby have
never had quarrel, for the reason that it
ia impossible to make her angry. He has
scowled At her and occasionally waited a
chair at her, just to see if she wouldn't
get angry, but he suffered disappointment
in each and every instance. Peterby had
been Dragging to his friends about what
. good natured wife he has, and Gilhooly
offered to bet $50 that if Peterby were to
60 home, raise fuss and pull the table
Cloth full of dishes off the table she
would show signs Of temper. He had
tried that with his wife once, but he
never repeated the experiment.
Peterby said he didn't want to rob o.
friend of his money, but he knew he could
win. At last he made the bet. The friend
was to watch the proceedings through q
window. Peterby came home apparently
lighting drunk. She saw him coming,
went out to the gate, opened it, kissed
him and assisted his tottering steps into
the house. He sat down hard in the
middle of the floor and howled out:
"Confound your ugly picture; what did
you pull that chair from under mo fort"
II hope you did not hurt YOURSELF" she
replied, smiling kindly. 81 was to blame
for it; al4 SO awkward. But Pll try
and not do it again If you will forgive
me this time," and she helped him to his
feet, although she had nothing to do with
his falling.
He then sat on the sofa, and sliding of
on the floor abused her like pickpocket
for lifting up the other end of the sofa.
She said she was sorry, and finally led
him to the supper table. He threw a
plate at her, but she lodged it, and asked
him if she would take tea or coffee. Then
the brute seized the tablecloth, sat down
on the floor and pulled the dishes and
everything over him in one grand crash.
Some women might have lost their TEN
per, but not SO With Mrs. Peterby. She
did not blubber like child; she did not
even sulk or pout. With 4 pleasant smile
she said:
"Well, George, this il a new idea. VI

A DENIAL.-Rev. DR.. Robert P.
Kerr, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Richmond, in published
letter takes to task Rev. John Z. Con-
nally, of North Carolina, for remarks
made by the latter in sermon which
charged DR.. Kerr with taking trip to
Europe on "blood money" contributed
by liquor dealer. While Mr.. Con-
nally did not mention DIR. Kerr's name
in the sermon referred to, his remarks
left no room for doubt as to what pas
tor was being alluded to. DR.. Kerr
SAYS: "Without stopping to discuss
the question as to whether the fact, if
it had been fact, indeed, of liquor
dealer having paid Presbyterian min
ister's expenses to Europe would be a
proper subject for a sermon, Mr.. Con-
nally had no right to take up a floating
rumor which he considered injurious to
the reputation of any persons and give
it great currency by making it a part of
a sermon before his association, when,
by his own confession, he does not
know whether what he is saying is
true or not" DR.. Kerr Indignantly de-
MES the charge and states that he paid
every cent incident to the expenses OF
his European trip out of his own re-
sources.

The President and South Carolina.

The President and South Carolina.
As stated in the GAZETTE of that
date the South Carolina Legislature
yesterday extended to President Cleve-
land and the gentlemen accompanying
him the privileges of the floor of the
two houses. When the resolution was
introduced in the House by Mr.. Magill
several members objected to its con-
sideration and ]. T. Duncan moved
that it be laid on the table, as the
legislature should "not honor a man
for whom it had so little respect"
Seeing that debate might be pre-
cipitated, efforts were made by the
more conservative members to get
Mrgill to withdraw the resolution. He
refusedand others thought that it would
be as much an insult to withdraw it as
to reject it. At last Speaker Jones
hurredly put the question to vote
and it went through without dissent
ing voice. The Speaker announced
| that it had been unanimously agreed
to.
A large majority of the members are
free-silver men and blame President
Cleveland for having much to do with
the financial stringency of the times.
They are intensely opposed to his
political views, and hence their indis-
position to show him any courtesy.
When the resolution was presented
in the Senate there was no debate, but
when the motion to adopt was put it
was carried, two Senators dissenting
without expressing their reasons there
for.
Last night Mr.. Duncan introduced a
resolution criticising President Cleve-
land for having prostituted his high
office and used his opportunities to be-
tray the democratic party and repudiate
its principles, and stating that we re-
cord ourselves as opposed to the resolu.
ton passed by this House doing honor
to the greatest party-wrecker in the
history of American politics"
The resolution was signed by two
members and they asked that it be put
on record. The House refused to put
it in the journal.
a dispatch from Georgetown, S. C.
saws; "President Cleveland's party re-
turned to the Wistaria yesterday after
noon with about SO ducks and raccoon.
Mr. Cleveland was quite lame with rheu-
matism yesterday. He declined an in
yitation to visit Charleston, and only
accepted an invitation to hold recep-
ton here Saturday,, before leaving, on
condition that it should be short.
George Washington is the only other
President who has eyer visited this
town."
