The Daut, hter at Home.

zone fair daughter and no more; he
loved her passing well.
"A daughter at all is Heavens last,
best gift" a recent writer has said
and the daughter in the home is the
finest exponent of this beautiful old
vocation which is threatened with eX-
tinction in the grinding evolution OF
modern life. Somehow Nature will
find her way. and until the birds cease
mating there will be homes sweetened
with wife-love and mother-love, but as
a basis and beginning for these,
daughter-love cannot be ignored or for
gotten.
Every thoughtful person who has
studied the trend Of educational cur
rents must regret the tremendous
pressure which is exerted to divide
the daughter from the home. With
the commendabie desire that she shall
be as capable of Self-support as her
brother she is silently urged into try
ing her wings at the earliest opportun-
ity and tacitly trained to look upon
the home nest as merely a temporary
shelter. Granting the necessity in
many cases. and the wisdom in all, of
some definite knowledge that may be
turned into bread and butter, yet for a
very material good one of the sweetest
relations of human life is being weak
ened and in danger of being lost.
And what are you going to be?
A teacher like auntie, or a doctor like
Cousin Lou" the toddling girl is
asked. Her little domestic tendencies
are gently smiled away. and from the

knowledge as means of wisdom or
happiness. a sweet and gracious beni-
son for home and friends not for the

noble thoughts on the journey Of life,

brains into dollars.

much because boys have so long been
trained to business first and manhood
afterward, and it loses more when the

of health and natural development, is
forced upon young girls. Those who

leprosy in the United States.

According to scientific Investigations,
directed from Washington, which have
been going on for several months
there are about 215 reported cases OF
leprosy in the United States. II Is
thought probable that the real number
may he nearer n thousand. For vari-
Gus reasons physicians who have cases
OF this disease. in many instances
either fail or refuse 20 report them But
the number reported is suiiicicntly
large to occasion some alarm. Seventy
four of the known cases are in New
Orleans. chiefly among the Italian
population. There are twenty-three in
Minnesota, mostly among Scandi-
navians in the rural settlements. There
are fifteen cases in North Dakota, and
two in South Dakota. among the same
people. SO far as has been ascertained
there are none in Michigan. or in In
| diana: Chicago has five cases and New
York six. Boston has none.
The figures which are being compiled
| represent a great deal of careful work.
a circular letter was sent out from
here TO every city and county physi-
| clan. every health officer. every re-
sponsible head of n hospital, in the
country. 1t called for volunteer in
| formation covering cases of leprosy in
the community in question; the name
l of the leprous person. the sex. age,
| social condition. place of residence,
whether town or country. ana name of
| attending physician. In all 5000 OF
| these letters have gone out, but replies
to date have been received from only
| 200O of them. There may be several
times 2e5 cases in the 5000 districts
from which thus far no replies have
come.
1t is the intention of those who are
compiling the figures to make a report
to Congress. including such recommen-
dationS as may seem warranted. One
of these recommendations will be for
the erection of two large hopsitals for
lepers. one in the South and the other
in the North, both to be under govern
ment supervision and control. and to
be built from government funds.
Eminent physicians haze at different
times been before committees of Con-
Sress to urge the erection of leper
hospitals, but nothing came of these
visits, the government having no re-
liable data covering the prevalence of
the disease. Next winter. however,
with full information Oh the subject, it
is believed that Congress will act
promptly.
1t is noteworthy that nearly all of
the 215 reported victims are foreigners.
The Scandinavians seem peculiarly
susceptible to the disease. They either
had it when they landed in America,
or contracted ii shortly after landing.
Every one of the cases in the Dakotas
and Minnesota is located in the cOun-
try. in localities rather remote even
from small towns. The disease seems
to be spreading most rapidly in
louisiana, and for several years there
has been agitation there in favor Of
efficient supervision and control of all
leprous patients. either by the state or
by the government

so far as n joint guarantee ot the
powers is concerned. such thing is
opposed by the United States and will
probably not be pressed. France and
Russia are the only powers that are in
favor Of such a course.
The cabinet has also considered dur
ing our stay in San Francisco the Ques-
tons arising from the holding OF the
Pan American congress in Mexico. and
the fear that has arisen in some quar-
ters that the United States proposed
to aggraniize to itself more than a

NEW YORK, May 25.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Aguinaldo is likely to come to the
United States next fall and spend the
winter in Washington. This informa-
ton has reached the war department
In the mail from Manila. He has in
formed General Macarthur Of his de-
sire to visit the United States for the
purpose OF studying American institu-
tions and meeting American statesmen
with view OF being more useful TO his
own people in the future.
No objection TO granting this wish at
the proper time has occurred to the au-
thorfties az Manila who regard the prop
osition with markell favor. For the
present however. and until after the
civil administration OF the island is
nrmly established 1t is not contemplated
that Aguinaldo should be relieved from
the restraint that is now regarded as a
guarantee OF his own safety.
1t appears that Agulnaldo has been
influenced TO visit Washington by Judge
Arellano, whose loyalty to the Urited
states Il unquestioned.
