Leprosy is an exclusively human dis. ease. It is not inoculable to animals. Ii Is snever of spontaneous origin, but is in- variably derived from the lesions or se- cretions of a person similarly diseased
 Its development in 0 country previously exempt from the disease may always be traced to its importation in the person of leper from an infected center. We know nothing definitely of the mode of infection or the channels of entrance through which the bacillus gains access to the organism-whether by direct con- tact, by inhalation or inhibition of the germs or by other intermediates Ob- servation proves oonclusiyely that every !eper is a possible source of danger to all with whom he may come into inti- mate and prolonged contact. .-Dr. Prince A.

The hall was crowded, and judging by
the applause, the audience enjoyed it
to pleasing degree.
The drama was placed on the boards
under hurried disadvantages, too late
to remedy at the time, owing to sever
al in the caste having to give up their
parts and new persons subtituted, but
the play went through and gave an OPP
portunity to our people to Judge of Mr..
Smiths literary attainments in this
new field in which he has entered.
The caste of the play was as follows :
James M. Thornton, Mr.. Bob Edwards ;
Valois Thornton, Miss Edna Baker
Francis Jones, Mr.. Clarence Galloway

Mr.. Purcell. Mr. Clyde Matthews ;
Alline, .......... Miss Annie Smith /;
Mr.. Thornton's Nephew, Will D. Neal ;
William J. O'Bryan, Actor at Queens
Theatre, Mr.. Jim Smith.
1t is but justice to say that Miss Ed
ma Baker displayed decided dramatic
talent and rendered her part with
credit; Mr.. Jim Smith cleverly acted
HIS part aud entered into the spirit of
the play with excellent rendition; Mr..
VIII Neal, as the sentimental lover, re-
ceived many compliments in the cred
liable manner in which he acquitted
himself; Miss Lillian Fields surprised
all by her natural fine acting; Miss An
ME Smith came fully up to the support
of the caste; Mr.. Bob Edwards and Mr.
Clarence Galloway did well; Mr.. D. F.
McClatchey, Jr., and Mr. r. w. Will
liams had very "taking parts" and
caught the crowd and pleased all; Mr.
Claude White and Mr. Clyde Matthews
acted with care and vivacity.
Miss Peral Souires rendered excel
lent music on the piano, and Mrs. H. S.
Owens favored the audience with a
song.
At the conclusion of the drama, the
audience was amusingly entertained by
Fields Mintrels." These burnt cork
artists kept the audience in a roar of
of laughter. Those who took part were
