Nerve MaIady of the Orient.

Captain John B. Finley, Ninth In
fantry, arrived at Watertown, N. Y,
a few days ago from the Philippines.
He was obliged to use crutches owing
to the effect of a malady which he
says is shockingly prevalent among
the officers and men in the Orient.
1t is in the nature of neuritio or
nerve paralysis and the first stage is
dysentery, which becomes chronic.
Many soldiers have been affected and
some will be crippled for life.
II have seen men," said Captain
Finley, with their feet drawn out of
shape, arms swollen and almost USE
less and facial muscles so drawn as to
distort their features and prevent
them from talking intelligently. When
I left Manila both of my legs below
the knees were SO affected that / had
to use two crutches, but I am some-

PET JoUBERT's HISTORY.
Tho Boer Coininander-in-Ch Chief 10 Of
French Ancestry.

Tho Boer Communicating Chief 10 Of
French Ancestry.
General Petrus Jacobus Joubert,
Command er -in-C Chief of the Transvaal
forces, and at the same time Vice
President of the Republic, is, as his
name indicates, Of French descent.
One of his ancestors, Pierre Joubert,
belonged to Provencal family (South
of France), as is established by q
marriage certificate copied from the
registers of the Walloon community
of Brielle formerly a part of the
Netherlands, where French only was
spoken-now a part of Belgium),
stating that on the 1st of February,
1868, the marriage of "Pierre Joubert
a native of La Motto d'Aigues, in
Provence, and Suzanne Reyne, a ma
tive of La Rogue d'Atheron, in Prov
ence, has been celebrated in the Wall
loon church of Brielle, and both then
went on board the ship Mount de
Sinai, bound for the Cape of Good
Hope under charge of Captain Sam
mel Van Grell, and this after it had
been published three times during the
same day, with the consent of the
Messrs. of the Venerable Magistrat. 1"
The local authorities of Brielle
were then known under the name of
INN. du Venerable Magistrat.
Pierre Joubert had been compelled
to emigrate, being q Protestant or
Huguenot, on account of the revoea-
tion of the Edict of Nantes, and had
sailed for the Cape of Good Hope,
where he landed safely and settled
comfortably.
Three years before Queen Victoria
assembled the throne, that is, In 1884,
Petrus Joubert, the actual Boer Gen
eral, was born in Congo (Cape Col
ony). After having done some trav-
cling and having acquired some mon
ey, he put up farm in the Walker
stroom, one of the districts of the
Transvaal, and soon became mem
ber of the Volksraad. Meanwhile,
owing to his legal knowledge, he had
made a vust fortune. At the time a
treaty was to be signed with Great
Britain, Joubert accompanied Kruger
to London, and the skill which he
displayed contributed greatly to the
success of the negotiation.
1t was after his return home that
the Beers put him in command OF
their army.

Kipiing's Autograph For ca.no.


A West Philadelphia girl, who is an
enthusiastic autograph collector. has
recently added Rudyard Kipllng to her
collection. at cost Of $3.50. From her
experience. II would seem that the
English poet is not such an absent
minded beggar" as he pictures Tommy
Atkins to be. On the contrary. he be-
iieves in turning everything to a good
account. and 1t is evidently this belief
rather than a mercenary motive that
prompts him to place valuation of
$3.50 OF every autograph he scribbles,
1t must not be inferred that he pockets
the proceeds. The West Philadelphia
girl sent modest request for an auto
graph, enclosing stamped and ed.
dressed envelope, as is her custom.
In reply she received a printed slim
from Mr.. Kipling's secretary, setting
forth in brief that Mr.. Kipling would
be pleased to furnish his autograph
upon payment of $3.50 to any charity
which the collector might prefer. a
receipt for which should Immediately
be sent to him. She donated the sum
to the Children's Country Week asso-
citation, forwarded the receipt to Mr..
kipling, and the other day she received
