LEPROsY AND HAWAII.

The current issue of the North
American Review of Reviews con.
tains a contribution from Doctor
Prince A. Morrow, advancing a
peculiar reason as pointing to the
dangers of leprosy likely to follow
the annexation of Hawaii by the
United States. This opposition
to annexation is the newest if not
unique, and is based upon the
assumption that if this country
should acquire a direct interest in
the island it would weaken its
quarantine safeguard and thus a
spread of infection would be fire.

ROYCOTTING SANTA CLAUS

From the New York pulpit the
most ludicrous and ridiculous adj
vances of late seem to find birth,
and if the eminent clerical stu
dents of the big city have their
way Santa Claus, the good old
gentleman who

to hearof the reindeer, the patter
on the roof tops. aud the coming
down the chimney; and little
hearts, eager, joyous souls, will
beat no more in that anticipation
known and excited only by this
invented agency. They declare
that our plump friend whose eyes
merrily twinkle and in whose sun
shine we love to bask, is a pagan
myth, a deception, and the tra'Il-
tion so dear to childhood should
not be tolerated and sactioned by
those who know better. They
consider his creation and para
phernalia of toy-giYing as illu-
sions iniquitously designed to de-
lude, and these Victories of the
New York pulpit turth er propose
that after next December "a we
pull in the latch-string, baricade

true ancestor of the one of today

theory of his pagan originality
does not deprive him of his won't

timately procuros all the Joy his
bounty is capable of, and no myth
is more generally welcomed in the
home and recreation circles Of the
church, and TO childhood he is o
boon, A world without Kriss

none tall, and it is with variance
to good reason to indulge in idle
talk and gloomy speculation. This
must be patent to all. The harbin-
ger that yellow fever is nearing
eradication, affords sufficient
pleasure, enough comfort and sat
lsfaction to view the rosy side.
The reports, in the absence of
good frost, from New Orleans
and other points where the fever
was more active, registers as low
as the ebbing day at twilight.

A dispatch from Rome TO the Ny.
Sun says: The Pope was recently IN
formed of the discovery IN the Vatic-
an archives of supposed communi-
calicn from PontlusPilate to Emperor
flberius respecting the cruclflxiop
of Jesus. HIS Holiness ordered
that careful study be made of the
manuscript. This proved that the
document was apparently of date
about 100 A. D., and that it alluded
TO such communication, but the
original has not been found. Other
fragmentary manuscripts of the thii d
ana hfth centuries, bearing on the
same subject, have been discovered.

LAUGHTER.

We smile when we should bow,
we grin when we should smile
the latter of our unconsciousness
of this particular distinction, the
first because we know no better.
The continuity of a grin is unbar-
able, yet it is irrepressible for the
open mouth IS the widow Of an
empty head. The smile can be-
long to the masked hypocrite and
both it and the grin can emanate
from the covering of sorrow and
melancholy depths, but not so
with the good, hearty laugh, the
laugh that makes others hold their
sides in laughter. The good laugh
is tonic and comes froM the
honest heart; it thaws glo I'm
and dispels oppressed spirits and
paints a picture of Paradise on the
canvas of Home, and where hope
lingereth least it can find lodg-
ment if only temporary. Laugh
and grow fat" is always received
as good advice. But there is au-
other laughter, wreathing the
world with joy, flooding perpetual
sunshine down the vistas of life,-
it is the laughter of a child. The
unprejudiced reader will appre-
ciate the following lines from the
pen of Robert Green InPersoll.
"The laughter of II child will make
the holiest day more sacred still.
Strike with hand of fire, o weired
musician, thy harp strung with
Appollo's golden hair; ill the vast
cathedral aisles with symphonies
sweet and dim, deft TOUGHER of
the organ keys; blow, bugler,
blow, unit! thy silver notes do
touch and kiss the moon lit waves,
and charm the lovers wandering
mid the vineclad hills. But know
your sweetest strains are discords
all, compared with childhood's
happy laugh-the laugh that fills
the eye with light and every heart
with joy. o, rippling river of
laughter, thou art the blessed
boundary line between the beast
and man; and every wayward
wave of thine doth drown some
fiend of care. o laugh
ter, rose-lipped daughter of JOY,
there are dimples enough in thy
cheek to catch and hold and glo-
rify all the tears Of grief" F"

Emperor William Did Not Speak to

New York, April 12.-Frank Dewey. a
Well-known German journalist, who has
just arrived from Berlin. tells an interest

tons between Emperor William and the
American embassy.
AT a recent eInb2$SadOrial dinner given

IJhl, the American ambassador, was pres
ent. At these dinners it is customary for
the emperor to sit at the head of the ia
BILE. Nobody speaks until the emperor
opens conversation.
"All the guests are supposed to keep
their eyes on the emperor, merely as a
form of respect. During this time, Mr.
Ulh, who sat with Count Lauza- the
Italian ambassador, kept up running

TWO GIRLS REINSTATED.
Brooklyn Elevated Road Will GiveIts
Women Agents Another CHANCE.


New York, April 1.-TWO of the six fe-
male ticket agents who were discharged
from the Brooklyn elevated railroad on
Monday for their alleged fondness for
gossiping with male passengers were re-
instated yesterday The others may be as
fortunate. General Manager Barton dee
cided to give the girls another chance.
The news of their reinsta tement was pass
ed from station to station on the East
New York, Ridgewood and Greenwood
selves
The girls attribute the discharge to a
white yelled woman who visited every
station last NINTH. She usually carried a
book, and stood in the waiting room when
ever she saw a passenger talking to the
agent. They say she was ''SpOtter." One
agent was found doing while duty.
Another was caught cooking Omelet
over an oil stove. Another made potato
salad They were reported. Some time
ago female agent was found drinking
beer from a can; she was dismissed next
day. One of the girls said today:
Passengers are often to blame If the
agents talk. Men stop ait the windows
and ask silly questions. I nave done
everything to stop passengers from talk
married men are the worst. Once I re-
fused to answer a foolish question ad-
dressed by a man. He reported me at the
onice for inSolence. 1 explained the In
cident at the office, and of course was
not punished. Don't you think it wrong
to condemn all of US girls if a few may
have violated the rules %
