scar caused by scaldng or some similar
occurrence. and no attention was paid to
and the girl was spoken s Of ft as the s pie
bald negro. BY this time the white peo-
pie around Harris Hin became very much
interested in "Piebald" or AUNT" Jane,
and her case was closely watched.
Jane continued TO gradually grow
whittier. The spots became more numer-
they coalesccd. Then the arms became
white. also the hands: next the lower
limbs and feet changed into n p!niish
white. and now from her head TO her feet
with the exception of the three spots)
Aunt" Jane Is changed from n jet black
negress TO q white 'oman," as she terms
There is no similar case to this on
record. and this one is attracting much
attention among those who have seen the
phenomenon. There are. however. n few
cases of ''piebald,'' according to the med
zeal authorities. but they ara endemic TO
the extreme tropical regions. The dis
cases quoted Is characterized by only q
few scattering spots. but James pecu-
liarity lies IN the fact that she is almost
totally white. Another way In which she
differs from those similarly affected. she
was never i'll day and is now enjoying
perfect health. She says she never cx-
pcricnced amy pain during her rcmarka-
bile change of color. but could distinguish
tho two shades by the touch, the white
being the softer, and smoother;
The technical term OF the disease
which stamps Aunt" Jane as the
greatest living wonder Is what is
known TO the medical fraternity as
leucoderma. or vitligo. one OF the
rarcst known. DIR. Shoemaker, professor
of skin diseases in the mcdco-chirurgical
college and hospital of Philadelphia, says:
'Lcucoderma or ritiligo, Is an acquired
disease of the skin, in which round, oval,
or irrcgularly formed sharply defined,
smooth white patches develop. which in
cline TO continually increase in size, and
are usually surrounded by an abnormally
ycllowish or darkly augmented skin.
THE disease appears IT'S on, or more
circular, sharply defined white spots,
notable for their absence OF pigment.
TIL" surface of the SPOTS Is absolutely
smooth. and is neither elevated above
nor depressed below the general surface
of tho skin. These sharply outlined
spots are surrounded by an abnormaly
dark pigment, which gradually fades into
tho healthy skin. Their color is pinliish
white, their tint varying as Fhc person adj
vnncca IN age. To the touch the spots feel
like any adjacent normal skin, exhibiting
neither anacsthcsia, pain, itching nor any
subjective symptoms No hairs are pres
cnt where the spots occur. There is usu-
ally great disiguration where it occurs
o., the face.
Nitiliro is one OF the rarcst diseas
known to tho medical profession. and
Is most common in early adult life IT
is usually caused by the disturbance of
general innovation which follows from
acute and chronic diseases Treatment
is Of no value there being no remedies
known which VII either remove or arrest
the progress of the disease"

,1,sto,scs with Old Orchards.

There is scarcely farmer in this
country who uses any fertilizer fol is
orchard, simply because he has al
ways been taught that the old orchard
would take care of itself. And what q
mistake! It needs the same care and
attention as the land devoted to other
crops. Why not renovate the old
orchard? Cut down the worthless
trees. Plow the whole area, SOW to
white clover and timothy, put on
about 200 pounds of muriate of pot
ash, and 200 pounds of dissolved bone
per acre. Keep the orchard trimmed
and each year apply chemical fertil-
izers in about this proportion per acre:
Nitrate of soda, 100 pounds; ground

with an application CT potash and
phosphoric acid, one can feel sure that
a good harvest will result.-C. w.
