The complainant never stopped to

To be married on shipboard and to

lonely African forest were the roman
tic experiences of Miss Anna Ihome

Dir. Wilmer Sanford Lehman, OF Africa.
For the last year DR.. Lehman has

dorf. West Africa, and as it was I'M
possible for him to return to America
for his bride she iourneyed out alone
to meet him.
When the steamship Niger, on which
she was passenger, reached Great
Balance DR.. Lehman came out in a
small boat. Captain Davis. of the
Niger, steamed out beyond the three
mile limit to avoid the exacting Ger
man marriage laws, and the Wedding
ceremony was performed.
DR.. and Mrs. Lehman went ashore
aud began their ninety-mile journey
to Lolodorf, followed by thirty native
carriers bearing their luggage. DR..
Lehman walked the entire distance
and Mrs. Lehman went for the most
part afoot, more than fifty miles, be-
ing carried in a hammock when weary.
They are now living in native house
of bark with thatched ROOF.
Miss Mclaughlin is a graduate of
Ann Arbor, where she met DR.. Lehman,
Of the class of '9S. The doctor has
made a number OF notable African ez-
plorations, having at one time pene

In short, the doctors know almost
everything about the influenza microbe
except an effective method of exter-
minating it.

tails in regard to the whims of iniu-

crobe. Here is what DR.. Prieur
says:
;" Influenza, that queer and ugly
word with which the grip clothed it.
self in 1902, when it was raging in
Italy, was first and, unfortunately,
brought into the medical vocabulary
by Professor Huxham. 1t is true
that he was never very proud OF his
invention, and up to comparatively
recent date doctors and patients con-
tinued to employ the good old word,
grip, invented in the last century by
Sauyages de Montpelier, doubtless to
depict the peculiar expression OF
countenance which belongs to those
who are unlucky enough to contract
the disease.
"Without going into the de-
tails of pathological chapter
on the subject it may be necessary
to call attention to the fact that
the word grippe or influenza is
too often carelcssly and enormously
employed. OF course, for doctor
the grip, strictly speaking, is difficult
to diagnose at its commencement,
and it often happens that the medi-
cal man cannot tell whether heis deal
ing with catarrhal or hay fever, or
with a serious infection, like angina,
smallpox or typhoid. But, neverthe.
less, the grip has an appearance pc
culier to itself, which, at given mo-
:ment, outside of all meteorological ex-
animation, at best, vague in the be-
ginning, facilitates its diagnosis.
but to attempt to describe the
various and capricious symptoms Of
the grip outside of medical literature,
properly speaking, would be to at
tempt the impossible. Sometimes it
starts with 8. furious attack, and some
times it beg@ns with little indisposi-
lions that .ast three or four days.
With the grip ali sorts of forms are
possible. But there are three forms
which are noteworthy: First, the ner-
vous form, with its terrible head
aches, neuralgia, lumbago and alter
natives of physical and mental de-
preston, followed by excitement that
later reaches delirium; secondly, the
respiratory form which localizes itself
in one or several of the organs, the
nose, the pharynx, the iarynx, the
trachea, the bronchial tubes and the
lungs (indeed, it may spread itself
through them ELL; thirdly, the diges-
tive form, sometimes accessory, but
more frequent and more tenacious
than people commonly believe it to
be, and reaching from simple gastric
trouble to the most intense gastro-in'
testinal manifestations.

Not Easily Frightened.

It takes more to win the badge Of
bravery in some countries than in
others. The Ethiopian who is deemed
worthy to wear in battle the lions
skin that King Menelik OF Abyssinia
gives to the bravest Of his men must
be one who can go three days without
food, fighting the while, or journeyins
over the deserts and mountains; one,
moreover, who cares nothing for pain
or death. In an article on 'Menelik
and his people, IN the Windsor Mag
azine, Mr.. Cleveland Moffat refers to
a custom that prevails among these
men after a battle OF after warlike
mau9uvres.
1t is their habit on such occasions
to squat on the ground in long line
and fire their rifles into the air, bar
rels up, butts between the knees.
There are no blank cartridges, but
balls that wound or kill whomsoever
they strike in the descent.
A cannon-shot gives the signal, and
forthwith the firing starts far down
the line, rolling nearer and nearer till
it swelIs into a roar of musketry about
the emperor himself, then dies away
at the farther side; and the bullets
come down on soldiers or citizens as
may be, for this firing is as likely as
not to take place in q crowded city.
"Wonld it not be wiser, your males-
ty. asked French traveller, aghast
at this reckless procedure, 'to use
