ANCIENT HUMAN MALADY.
Leprosy One of the Oldest AffIictions
 of Mankind.
From the Philadelphia

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 It has been officially reported that there are nearly 300 lepers in the United States, and 1t appears from the expres- sions.of opinion which this statement has elicited that the circumstance thus dis closed Is generally regarded with surprise and with a feeling not far removed from consternation. There Is no Justification for either sentiment. Leprosy. which Is one of the most ancient of human mala- dies, exists In every quarter of the world It's place of origin has always been e subject of dispute. but whether 1t came, as some insist, from the valley of the Nile or from far Eastern Asia, 1t has al- ways been most prevalent in the Orient and 1t is from there that the contagion has proceeded. It had reached Europe early In the Christian era and 1t had lost much of it's virulence and extension when it's dissemination was enormously stimulated as a consequence of the cru- sades. After that 1t became terribly pre- valent and 1t Is a well authenticated fact that in France alone in the year 1226 there were 4OOo leproseries or estab- lishments where lepers were confined and treated.
 - One Million Lepers.
 AL lHc pTcScit llile II ID cotllildtCo tiids the number of lepers in the world is about 1000, 000 As will be supposed by far the most of these are Asiatics. They are especially, numerous in China. In the single province of Kiang-si they are believed to number not less than 42,000 There are 30, 900 in Fokien and Kouang- tong and 1900 in Yun-nan. Their number in India and its feudatory states Is esti- mated at 10000. There are 6OOO In Bur-
 t.- They are also numerous in South Amerf- ca. The great province of Brazil is par ticularly afflicted In this way. and in tho states of Colombia, out of a population of some three and a half millions, the lepers number nearly 5000. That they also abound in the Hawaiian Islands Is we'll known. In thirty-three years, since 1865, the native population has declined from 5S,765 to 5000, largely in conse- quence of the ravages of this disease, and within that period 5000 unfortunates have been sequestered by the govern rnent on the island of Molokai
 In Europe the extension of the disease has been greatly reduced by the strin> gent and systematic application of san itary measures, but 1t has not yet been stamped out. There are believed to be between three and four hundred lepers In France, of whom about half are resi- dents of Paris, to which city they have gone for treatment. England, although in constant communication with so many countries where leprosy Is endemic, has been able entirely to avert the contami- nation, and In that country the malady Is practically non-existent. In the thirty years from 1868 to 1898 the number of i'm ported cases which came under the ob- serva,tion of the officials is stated to have been ninety-six. There are some centers of the contagion in Spain. One
