Prof. Cell has lately laid it down that
the examination OF the blood of person
suffering from malaria enables the physi-
elan not only to verify the diagnosis, but
to determine the clinical variety of the
disease and the stage of the febrile peri
cd, i. O., to say whether the paroxysm
is about TO begin or is At an end. A
case which occurred not long ago in Dir.
Manson'S practice at the Albert Docks
hospital. and has been reported by DIR.
Recs, serves well to illustrate the adyan-
tage which is gained by microscopic eX-
animation in such cases.
The patient a ships master aged 60,
said to be suffering from malaria. was
brought i'll IN II state Of partial uncon-
seriousness, and only IL very imperfect ac-
count could hc obtained of the course OF
his illness. 1t was gathered, however.
that two months before he had been for
a period of five days at Dakar. in West
Africa. 1t seemed that he had always
enjoyed good health. and had left Dakur
wen, but that some days after leaving
this port, while on his voyage from there
to Hull, he became i'll. On reaching Hull
he was suffering from fever and he came
home to London, where he became worse
and was treated for malaria. While at
home. however he had no rigofs or y0nl-
iting or haem0giObnuria but he had a
severe headache, was fcverSh and on
one occasion delirious. His mental con
dition was not satisfactory, and he hard
ly ever spoke.
On admission examination &c the blood
showed an extreme degree Of malarial in
lection, the parasites being very numer-
Gus. and of Il malignant type. Multi-in-
fccted CorpusClcS were the rule. many
cOrpusclcs containing -four parasites aud
a few five. The patient died the day
after his admission TO the hospital,-Th

Chinese vs.. American Dress.

In matters Of dress, Of course, the
women Of the Western world differ con.
spicuously from those of the East. Here
styles are changing constantly with the
years and seasons, almost with the days.
In the East il is not so. The cut and
style remain the same: novelty is not
sought in fabrics-silks are most used
These are richly embroidered, both the
undpr-garmentS and the OVER garments
The women Of China are skillful needle
women, and most of the work Oh their
clothes is done ut home. Among the
poorer classes wooden and Gotten are used
for the coarser working garments. The
shape Of the garments is designed to
cover the person, not to fit 1t tightly.
and beauty is secured in the texture and
embroidery. instead Of from odd shapes
and frlls and furhel0ws. There is NJ

TO WARD OFF EVIL.
Propitiating Influences by Spirits of
the Quaint Chinese Pagodas.

the Quaint Chinese PagodaS.
From the point of view of artistic and
essentially Oriental design the pagoda
possesses the most interest. These sin
gular constructions, at least one of which
nearly every city possesses, fairly dot the
surface of the country. Their purpose
appears to be twofold-either as monu-
mentS commemorative tic virtues or the
munihcence of some departed benefactor,
or as agents of "feng shut" literally
wind and water the spirit genius of
good and evil, which, if properly propiti-
ated, will ward off pestilence and famine
and permit only prosperity and happiness
to visit the neighborhood.
These very curious towers are of great
antiquity, Chinese records authentcating
their origin at least as far back as the
early part of the Christian era In size
they vary from the little ones, which are
nothing more than roadside shrines, to
what was once the most beautiful and
largest-the celebrated porcelain pagoda
of Marking, destroyed in the TAPPING re-
bellion. This extraordinary structure had
a height of 261 feet, was built of mason
ry and covered with glazed tiles of many
c0l0rs. and was a monument to native
sense in design. Unfortunately. most of
crumble to decay, although some are
tended and give hope of standing for
other generations TO admire. The promi-
nent ones vary in height from 100 to 20O
feet. are usually octagonal in plan, with
straight but tapering sides. and always
are composed of an odd number of stories

FAT MEN OF OLD.
What They Did to Rednce Their
Weight About 200 A. ID.

We know from ancient history that
some of the greatest men of the Old
World were fat, but it is news to hear
that they were troubled in their minds
ON that account. Banning is generally
supposed to be an invention of the pres
ent century, but that this is not the case
is shown by the treatise by Galen on the
foods best adapted for preventing, or re-
ducing, obesity, which has now been edit
ed for the first time in the original Greek
by German scholar.
From an interesting account supplied
by writer in the Lancet we learn that
the treatise in question. which was writ
ten somewhere in the Second century, A.
ID. was discovered in 1910 and pur-
chased by the Bibliotheque Rationale.
The Ms. was frequently referred to by
ancient authors and there seems to be no
reason to doubt that it is really the work
of the famous physician. Be that as it
may, it is noteworthy that the treatise is
scientific anticipation of the Banting
system which became popular about the
middle of this century. Galen deprecates
| the use of drugs ana says that the prop
err way to reduce fat is by dieting. He
recommends eating leeks, onions, mus
tard and nasturtiumS among green herbs,
and fishes which haunt rocks and birds
frequenting mountains. saying that acua-
| tic birds are fat producers. One of has
most curious hlntS is that VegIi - Is
which have been preserved in vineg OF
brine are food for the fat. and herein he
| anticipates the mixed pickles, which are
considered ON the continent to be a pure
ly English invention. Some of his rec
| concentrations read very comically nova
days, but all of them are full of COM
mon sense and it seems extraordinary
that so much knowledge should be lost
| to the world for so many years. There is
| nothing new under the sim NOT oven the
| present craze for a slim figure, and Ga
| lens treatise shows us that after all peo-
| pie of 1900 years ago were men of like

The church affairs here have wisely

manner. The correspondent undoubt-
eddy Mr.. G.. S. should consult his
i'chu UclOFc uc goes Ou Will MS IOOl-
ish and false reports OF the investi-
eating committee. He stated last week
that the pastor was entirely indicated
and that the opponents of the pastor,
three to one of the members Of the
congregation. were severely criticised
by the Investigating committee. In
the first place the committee were
steadily under the personal influence
Of the pastor, sleeping at his house,
eating at his table, and being in his
company to and from the church. In
the second place, the members were
tired of the wrang]e and did not Or
ganiZe their arguments, nor had they
anyone to plead their case. Thirdly,
the pastor was but sparingly vindi-
Gated. since he was severely criticised
for his method of teaching and his
manner of conducting his attacks up
on his opponents. Fourthly, the YER
dict was evidently compromise, since
it appears very much as if the COM
mittee would be lenjent with him on
condition that he would hand in his
resignation, which was done hard up
on the reading of the verdict.
AS both sides to the controversy
have now been heard and as the mat
ter has been settled, the TRIBUNE will
