We have always believed that the ehief-reward to our country for un- der+aking this modern crusade against the Saraeen, and one that will fully compensate us for expenditure oi blood and money, will be the libera- ton of our southern states from the constant menace of yellow fever. We are fighting not .only for the freedom of Cuba from Spanish tyranny, but for the freedom of America from Spanisl disease. The accomplishment of the first object is alnest realized, and that of the second is plainly in sight.
 It is not expected, however, that this glorious victory can be won without a struggle, and we therefore welcome the battle which is now on, fearful in- deed that the loss may be heavy, yet with no misgiving as to the outcome oi the contest Medical Record.

 Tenants formerly stepped up.to the office with more or less regularity once month. Now we have to go after them once week-frequently several times each week-to collect the week ly proportion of the monthly rental. This entails the employment of extra men for that express purpose and a vast deal of extra office work besides. The weekly payment habit was first fostered by the installment houses and the industrial insurance com panies. With respect to these it had a logical basis, but it extended to coal and pianos and crayon portraits, and finally to bicycles.
 Ut was the bike craze, coupledper- haps with the rise of the strictly cheap-for-cash grocers, that forced real estate agents to take rents in weekly portions. A workingman's

ABOUT cENTENARIAEs.
Some Queer Stories Related of Ex- tremciy old People in Eng-
 lend Leng Ago.

Not all of the centenarians were oaragons of all the virtues. Thomas Wilmington, for example, who lived to be 104, was a habitual drunkard, drinking only London gin, of which he consumed from pint to pint and half daily. Philip Laroque went to bed drunk at least two nights in the week until he was 100. At g2 he cut four new teeth. John de Ia Sonnet, i50 years old, was an iHgeterate smoker. Several famous old people were extremely addicted to matri- mony. Gwen Duffy, who lived to be i22 married his third wife at nc, Aby
 whom he had a son and a daughter" 7" Francis Holgo, a Venetian, was five times married, and was the father of 10 children. At the age of 100 his white hair fell out and @ new crop of the original color came in. At the age of 112 he had two new teeth. Margaret Krasiowna, Pole, married her third husband at 94. "She bore to him two sons and daughter, as proved by the parish register" Mar yaret McDowal, 1o6 years old, married and survived l3 husbands.
 Among the recorded centenarians are two dwarfs-Mary Jones, 100 years, who was two feet eight inches
 n height and terribly deformed and Eispeth Watson, 115 years old, who was two feet nine inches in height. Among the most agile were Mrs. Bar -ett, who, at the age of 11G, climbed I ladder to repair the roof of her cot sage, and Elizabeth Alexander, who was particular about her dress at 10s, and was used to daily walk of two niles. Several had peculiar habits. Mrs. Lewson, IF years cd, never washed her face for fear of taking cold, but greased it with hog's lard. John Hussey, 1f6 years, drank on,y palm tea as beverage. John Wilson, she same age, supped always off rcast- sd turnips. Judith Canister, 100. lived entirely on biscuit, bread and apples turing the last 60 years of her life. 0ld Lord Scarsdale and Lord Comber- mere, both of whom lived to a ripe age, thought the wearing of tight oelt habitually about the waist had much to do with their excellent health. Macllin, the centenarian actor, aban- 1oned regular hours of eating in the
 ast e years of his life, taking food when he was hungry Two interesting married couples are reported. Mir. and Mrs. Cottereli, aged respectively i20 and 115 years, were married ss years and "never had quarrel" They jed within fev hours of each other. John Rovin, Hungarian. and svife. aged 172 and 164 years, lived together l4s years. At the time of the hus- bands death the youngest son was 116 years old.-North American Review. when She Got It.

YELLOW FEVER.
The Glorious Opportunity to Destroy It Now Being Opened to
 Americans.

The expected has happened, anu Jel- tow fever has attacked our troops at Santiago. The first reports that were permitted to reach the public were dated July 12, on which day there were II new cases. Within three OF four days after that the total number ot cases to date was admitted to have been upward of 300, so thatit is certain flat the disease has been among the troops for some time, probably haHiug attacked them almost immediately after the landing Yas made.
 Bbe policy of eonceaiment wae wholly iastifiable at that time, for confession of the truth would have served no purpose in protecting the home ports, and would simply have CT. couraged the Spaniards to delay sur render, and would have caused unavail- ing anxiety and Encouragement at home.
 All the accounts of the epidemic agree that the disease is in an unusual ly mild form, by far the greater num- ber of those attacked recovering after the normal period of not very great suffering. Among the sufferers were very many of the Red Cross surgeons and nurses, all of whom, so far as is known, have entirely recovered or are convalescent. Many immune surgeons and nurses are on the way now to San tiago, and will be assigned to the fever hospitals immediately upon their ar. rival.
 Now that there is no human enemy in our way, our sanitary officers in the conquered province have an excellent opportunity to give to the world ar object lesson in cleanliness. And we are perfectly confident that, with the filth of Santiago destroyed the houses cleaned and disinfected, the infected huts burned, and our camps removed to the hills as far as that may be pos. sible. Gen. Vomito Negro will follow the lead of Gen Toral and wield to the inevitable.
 sIurderous Millinery.
 A woman in Paris or London may discover that the tail of a bird "sets her off" She walks forth, and lol
 
 tails are the rage. and millions oi birds have been slaughtered for the mere qualification of tender-hearted woman It is not an exaggeration to say that in whatever part Of the world beautiful birds are found there wiil be found also the agents of the draFer and the milIiner The part fh y plsy is.that of supplying inc demand Wom an wants. The striking exPre sion "murderous millinery is current in speeches and writing on the subject 'Feather-headed women," as indeed they are in more ways than one, is a term which might be used more ire quently than it is with much advan- tage.
