Rats Give 1t to Fleas and Fleas to
Human Beings.


1t has BEEN a common idea for some
years that rats are one of the CHIEF
causes of the spread of the bubonic
plague, that dreaded disease which is
never absent from certain parts of the
Far East and which occasionally threat
ems the Western world. So firm Is the
belief in the guilt of the rodents that
measures have occasionally been taken
in infected regions for the wholesale
slaughter of rats, as In Cape Town re-
Gently, and Honolulu during the epidemic
there a year ago. Investigators have
not been quite satisfied with the assump-
ito that the rats carry the plague ba-
cilli, for there yet remains the question
how the germs may be transposed from
the rats to the human victims. One Of
the latest and most generally accepted
theories in this regard Is that the rats
pass the plague germs to the feas that
infest them. and that these fleas in turn
bite the human beings with whom they
come in contact and thus transmit the
disease principle. Confederation OF this
guinea pigs with injections of sub
stance derived from the bodies of feas
taken from plague-killed rats. The pigs
died Of the same disease.
Thus we now have another addition to
the parasitical menaces Of the human
race. The mosquito Is now convicted Of
the dissemination Of malaria and yellow
! fever, and the flea must take Its turn
as criminal against health. He Is not
generally regarded with favor anyhow.
just as the mosquito is nuisance apart
from his germ-carrying qualities. Z ne
warfare for sanitation viii be waged to-
ward the determination Of the flea as
well as of the rat That against the mos
quito is already under way with partial
success. This tendency to subdivide the
responsibility for the transmission of
disease brings back to mind the old coup
let which gave early expression OF the
public thought on the parasite doctrine,
the precursor of the germ theory:
| Little dogs have little feas upon their
| backs to bite 'em,
| And the little feas have hitler heas
| and so ad inf1nitum.''

WISH TO ADOPT "MADAME." ;"
EFFORT BY SUFFRAaISTs OF FRANCE TO
ABOLISH THE TITLE OF
MADEMOISELLE
MNNS
Paris. November o.

Paris, November q.
The society of woman suffragists in Paris has
just put forward a motion which should be of IN
terest women especially professional and bust
women in other countries. It is to the effect
that the distinctions Madame" and "Mademoi-
selle" place woman, morally and materially in an
inferior position to man. who. whether young or
old married single, Is designated Monsieur -
1t is therefore decided that the expression
Madame shall be universally employed TO desig-
all women, without distinction of age civil
condition
There is probably country where the term
Madame" carries so much weight in France,
where many smart business woman has been
known to marry employe to obtain this dis
tinction. It is not the mans name she wants but
rather the right to prefix her own with MADAME" "
for French women Of this Independent class gen.
orally retain their own family name with perhaps
the name OF the husband before it, never after 1t.
as s often the In America Socially too the
difference between Madame and Mademoiselle is
perhaps stronger than in England and America.
II is almost pathetic. sometimes. to decidedly
mature unmarried women courtesying over the
hand of much younger married woman The
woman suffragists imagine that some of these
social distinctions will disappear with the ute
that particularly marks out an unmarried woman.
This is not the first time that French women
have wished TO do away with this distinction

there was precedent for i in France: Tor both
Racine and Corneile termed several of their un-
married heroines Madame and daughters OF
kings have always been called Madame from
their cradles
But. while the woman suffragists are working in
direction. social opinion seems to be working
in another. Formerly, not so many years ago, 1t
considered the height of dscourtesy to address
a woman otherwise than as Madame" unless one
had to know that she was unmarried. Now
it is rather common TO hear clerks in shops, tram
way conductors and people of that class address
young women "Mademoiselle." 1t is no longer
assumed. in France that young woman

AN ASSOCIATION DISBANDS.
NO LONGER NEED OF IT'S WORK. AS
BELIEF IN TEACHING SEWING IN
SCHOOLS is FIRMLY Es-
TABLISHED.

Because the enthusiasm for manual training is
general and the belief in the educational value Of
sewing assured. the New-York Association of Sew
ing Schools finds the work for which IT was esab-
lished accomplished and at recent meeting of the
society its members decided to discontinue the en-
terprse. For the present. and as long there is
need of such work. the executive committee Will
have charge Of all unfinished business and will act
also as committee Of information. 1t is thought
that informal conferences will be held from time to
time.
The New-York Association OF Sewing Schools was
formed in 1898, in response to circular issued by
committee representing educational institutions and
churches. 1t demonstrated the need OF permanent
organization TO act centre Of information for
sewing schools and to formulate and carry out such
plans and arrange for such meetings and classes as
might be deemed advisable for the further develop
ment of its work The object has been carried out
during the eight by means of conferences
classes and exhibitions and through the medium OF
leaflets, reports and a valuable autobiography of
the Teaching of Sewing" issued by the literature
committee.
The first conference held in April. 1888. and
since that time large number OF such gatherings
have been held In various parts OF the country TO
