The Locality of Disease.

In an interesting article on the areas
of disease the London Saturday Review
remarks upon the consensus of medical
opinion that diseases in general have
their local NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., like trop-
ical animals and plants, living only i'll
the tropics; some, like consumption.
gradually spreading over the whole
earth, while others, like leprosy and
smallpox, are by degrees becoming linn
tied in their distribution, possibly tend
ing, it may be, toward extinction. On
the other hand, however, there are re-
gions to which diseases have never
reached, for instance on the SUBMITS Of
high mountain ranges and i'll the cir
cumpolar snowfelds the earth and air
and water are as barren of the microbes
of disease as they are of animal life.
The writer in The Review admits that
in country like Britain, thickly popu-
lated for many centuries, and with the
freest circulation of population, it can
not be doubted that every yard OF sur
face contains the germs of the more
common diseases, and the native Of
some newer land brought over to Brit
aims shores falls victim to its plague
stricken soil, but by generations OF a
destructive elimination Britons have
become highly resistant to their native
diseases, yet not fully so, for cancer and
consumption, two of the most common
scourges, still hold powerful sway.

THE CAR WAS SWITCHING.

Lecturer In Search of Rest.
II have long made it practice to
sleep whenever get an opportunity,

experience in Baltimore has made me
shy of opportunities You see, spend
great deal of time on railroad trains,
and frequently, in order to keep engage
ments, l am forced to travel at night.
Now. have great difficulty in getting
asleep on a sleeping car, and sometimes
toss around all night.
Last week / lectured in Baltimore,
and after the lecture found sleeping
car in the railroad yard which was to
be added to the train bound for New
York. That was my opportunity. I
bought section, hunted up the porter
and asked him if l might retire with
the expectation of not being aroused be-
fore morning.
That's what the car is here for,
colonel he answered. We don't pull
out till l 80 in the morning. and you
can just go right to sleep.
"That sounded inviting, and l retir-
ed. fell asleep promptly. The move
ment Of the car aroused me, and, think
ing that we had been coupled on to the
New York train, closed my eyes again.
AT that moment the car ran into some-
thing on the track with crash and
stopped so suddenly that my head was
bumped against the end of the BERTH
Undoubtedly smash up I thought, and
proceeded to get out of my berth. The
porter was sitting in the seat opposite.
For heavens sake, what is the
trouble?' asked.
'Nothin, he replied; Just switch
in.

Again felt drowsy, and once more the
car was bumped violently, then showed
along the tracks at rapid rate and
shunted into the end Of another train,
starting series of crashes that sounded
one after another clear away up the
track. The quiet that followed lasted SO
long that l began to doze. Another
bump harder than the previous ones
aroused me, and for the next five min
utes it seemed as if two engines must be
engaged in shunting my car back and
forth for the fun of it. would feel the
car slide along only to come to an abrupt
stop with lot of noise. Then it would

still. For the next hour / was tossed
and bruised in my berth, and l could
stand it no longer. l crawled out and

the car ON one of its shunting trips past
the station and went to hotel and
spent the night. The memory of that
experience has made me cautious about

around the yard waiting to be coupled
