Ibra line sailed last week with coal for the

''The New Orleans Times-Democrat'' tells
of a blind man In a Southern city who
goes to the postofilce every day, carrying
q small light riding whip. which he holds
slightly inclined to the front with the tip
just touching the pavement. His sense Of
touch has become so delicate that the
whip is almost an artificial eye. When the
point encounters anything he makes few
swift passes over the surface and generally
determines the exact character of the OBJ
stacle. It Is done so quickly and DEITY as
TO attract no attention, and few Dassers
have the least suspicion Of the old mans
.nfirm!ty. When he reaches the postof1ice
he turns unhesitatngiy, mounts the middle
stairs, walks over to the lock boxes, and,
wiihou: any feeling around, thrusts key
Into the right aperture.

TYPHOID FEVER.

The Virg!nin State Board of Health las
Just issued timely circular on 'Precau-
tons Against Typhoid Fever At the
outset some startling statements are
made It is said that typhoid fever IS a
most prevalent disease IN Virginia, and
that the reports show that It is especially
prevalent at this season OF the year. be-
Ing present In almost every county in the
State at this time. It is further stated
that a safe and proper estimate would be
that at lenst 10000 pereons are sick with
this disease annually. IN Virginia. and that
about 1000 die from its effects. When
ever Single case OF smallpox is reported
in any community there IS more or less
alarm, yet the State Board Of Health lays
that typhoid fever kills Its thousands
where smallpox kills one.
This ought to be enough TO arouse The
people OF every community to the neces-
s:ty of taking proper precautions against
typhoid fever. and the State Board Of
Heath Is authority for tho stntement
that this terrible disease is due to neg
|
proper hygIenic conditions.
1t is admitted, the circular goes on, that
typhoid fever is an infectious disease,
transmitted from one person to another
by an injecting agent called germ,
which is found in the blood md focal dis
charges of one sick with this disease,
which germ is most rirulent and active
when the fever is at its height.
There is a popular impression that ty-
nhoid fever comes from bad air. but the
State Board of Health says that It Is posi-
lively asserted and proven that this DIS
ease In n!nety-niHe cases out OF a hum
dred IS contracted from drinking water.
Many people believe that if the water
which they drink Is clear and tasteless
and without odor it IS pure water, but
the State Board Of Health says that
drinking water may possess all these
qualities and yet be rankly poisoned with
| the fever germ. The people are, there
| fore, warned agains: drinking water, es-
pecially at this season of the year. which
| they do not know to be perfectly pure.
| There is one snfe rule for people living in
| town. and that is not to drink well water
| or spring water. People outside OF town
| who drink water from well or a spring
| should be quite sure that there is no
| cess-pool or cemetery or other contam!-
mating influence within the vicinity OF
| their water supply.
| Next to water. we are told that the
| most common carrier OF the typhoid fever
| germ IS milk, and it is further said t!1nt
| the germ is ordinarily introduced into milk
| by water being mixed with or by washing
milk cans or vessels with water. Typhoid
| fever may also come from defective sew
| erage, uncean premises and filth gen
orally.
It would appear from this that If peo-
| pie will drink pure water md pure milk,
| or no milk at all, and keep their premises
| entirely clean. they will be reasonably
safe from typhoid fever. At least, by Oh
| serving these general precautions the
| danger Will be reduced to the minimum.

some time past been buying American

seems TO think that this is the hrst order

error. Finland has been using Richmono

A girl with golden tresses, G%
Who wore the most beWitchlnS air
And da.ntest Of dresses =
I gazed at her with kindlins eye
And admiration utter
Until saw her silhen skirt {.
Was trailing in the gutter!
"Wl1at senseless style is t1is?' I thought.
What new sartorial p;lssion?'
And who on earth stands sponsor Tor
The idot!c fashion,"
I've asked dozen maids or more,
A tailor and a cutter,
But no one knows why skirts are made
To drag along the gutter. :.
What lovely woman wills to do
She does without a reason
To interfere is waste OF time,
To criticise is treason.
Mans only province is to work
To earn his bread and butter ,
And buy her all the skirts she wants
To trail along the gutter.
