weary and warm Ii spruce young Har-

piloted them from hall to hall Soon
they reached the chapel, and ns they
paused upon its threshold one Of the
Harvardites was inspired to ask How
about chapel? Do you have a hard time
getting the girls to go?"
Whereupon the weary cicerone, a trifie
tried by the question, answered, "Oh,

words to the next, who passed them

people suppose. He says that there are
now 5000 lepers in Portugal, 1,770 in
Norway, 5000 In Russia ard about
2.000 all told in other European com
tries In India there are 1871, 600 and in
