for him.
Stiggall died in June. He was one
of the first victims of scurvy, which, in
the succeeding few weeks, carried off SC
many. All of us who had read sea
stories had read much of this disease and
its horrors, but we had little conception
Of the dreadful reality. 1t usually
manifested itself first in the mouth
The breath became unbearably fetid
the gums swelled until they protruded,
ivid and disgusting, beyond the lips

quently fell out, and the sufferer would
pick them up and set them back in their
sockets. In attempting to bite the hard
corn bread furnished by the bakery the
teeth often stuck fast and were pulled
out. The gums had fashion of break
ing away in large chunks, which would
be swallowed or spit out All the time
one was eating his mouth would be filled
with blood, fragments of gums and
loosened teeth.
Frghtful, malignant ulcers appeared
on other parts of the body; the ever
present maggot flies laid eggs in these,
and soon worms swarmed therein. The
sufferer looked and felt as if, though he
yet lived and moved, his body was antici-
pating the rotting it would undergo a
little later in the grave.
The last change was ushered in by the
lower parts of the legs swelling. When
this appeared, We considered the man
doomed. We all had scurvy more or
less, but as long as it kept out of our legs
we were hopeful. First the ankle joints
swelled, then the foot became use
less. The swelling increased until the
knees became stiff, and the skin from
these down was distended until it looked
pale. colorless, and transparent as a
tightly-blown bladder. The leg was so
much larger at the bottom than at the
thigh, that the sufferer used to make
grim jokes about being modelled like n
churn, "with the biggest end down"
The man then became utterly helpless
and usually died in short time.
The official report puts down the
number of deaths from scurvy at 1914,
but DIR. Jones, the rebel Surgeon, re-
ported to the rebel Government his be-
lief that nine-tenths of the great NOR
tality of the prison was due, either
directly or indirectly, to this cause.
The only effort made by the rebel
doctors to check Its ravages was OCCASION
ally TO give a handful of sumach berries
to some particularly bad case.
When Stiggall died We thought Emer-
son would certainly follow him in day
or two, but, TO our surprise, he fingered
along until August before dying.

After the Divorce.

After San Diego man got divorce from
his wife the other day, he went home aud found
her there. She asked him to sit down to dim

they were in hot water for 80 years, fretting

most attractive homes in the land

now reached normal figure, and it
just above where it averaged du.
ring the ten years following re-
sumption of specie payments. 1t is
now $50 rs. Previous to resumpt.
ion, for fifteen years or more, the
percapita circulation ranged be-
tween SIG and $40. About the time
resumption was put into operation
the United States began to import
gold in large quantities, bank note
circulation ran up, and the Govern
ment made extensive purchases of
silver, three sources of supply
which increased the circulation
rapidly, and in three years it rose
to 1928, which subsequent experience
from that time up to 1890, proved to
he the normal figure. Fluctuations
were within narrow range, drop
ping off q little during the last six
months, according to the move
ment of gold very largely.
The high point was reached in
December, 1898, when the official
statement made the per capita cir
culation $25.57, the aggregate
amount of money being two hum
bred million dollars above normal.
This was occasioned by the desper-
ate efforts of the banks to keep
themselves safe and at the same
time provide for the heavy with
drawals by depositors. The Treas
ury balance was also low and the
monthly disbursements were in ex-
cess of revenues. The two years OF
frequent bond sales, with its AT
tendant agitation i'll financial
way, caused violent fluctuations in
the circulation condition, but the
drift for more than year, accord
ling to the Treasury, has been in the
direction of normal. The total
circulation now is $1,665,6S0,09S.
