Consumption More Dangerous than
Lepr0sy.

From the Examiner.
The quarantine and exclusion of a
British Columbia consumptive on his
way to southern California may have
appeared to some an inhuman exercise
of an arbitrary power, but the fact is
laymen do not realize how fully physi-
clans are in accord concerning the dan
contagion. AS contagious disease,
modern medical men regard consump-
tion as more dangerous than leprosy,
and they would take the same measures
to prevent its spread. That is to say,
they would isolate the consumptive,
even as we now do the leper. In some
European countries measures to this
end are already in force, and the states
takes on itself the charge of the pa
tients. Steps in the same general di-
rection have been taken in Pennsyl-
vania and some of the eastern states.
At the same time the profession is
inclined tO'agree t:hatf. '2.as ~ severe
hard ship on the British Columbian
immigrant TO exclude him without no.
tice in the absence of any provision by
the sCate for the care OF consumptives.
DR.. Chas. f. Parent, who has devot-
ed great deal OF study to the subject,
said:
II regard consumption as the most
dangerous of contagious diseases. Per-
sons suffering from that disease should
constantly be isolated. 1t is subject
not generally understood by the public,
and therefore it is hard to deal with it
in a scientific way, but the disease is
more dangerous to the health OF the
community than leprosy. For instance,
| am treating a patient for consump-
tion.- There can be no doubt that his
wife will become infected with the
disease. Yet the danger is so little
understood that it seems a hardship to
separate them.
Il would certainly quarantine and
exclude consumptive immigrants as a
measure of defense. n is a disease
that can be identified with absolute
certainty by an easy diagnosis. An
examination OF the spurta under the
microscope will infallibly show the
bacillus OF tuberculosis, and there is no
mistaking it,"

British Columbian immigrant unless

wELL-MANNERED PEOPLE.
They Are Welcome wherever They
Go and Add Much to the Real
Enjoyment of Life.

Good manners are more important at
home than elsewhere. AS they cannot
be put off and assumed, as garment,
we are able to form our opinion of
persons home manners by his manners
in society. AS rule what are called
company manners" are as easily dis
tinguishable as the counterfeit coin
from the pure gold. A beautiful be-
havior is better than beautiful form;
II gives higher pleasure than statues
or pictures; it is the finest of the fine
arts. How well it is that no one class
has monopoly of this finest of fine
arts" While favorable circumstances
no doubt render good manners more
common among persons moving in the
higher spheres of society, there should.
nevertheless, be no positive hindrance
to the poorest classes practicing good
manners toward each other. For what
are good manners? They are the art
of putting our associates at their ease.

They are careful to bear in mind the
meaning of the first syllable of the
word conversation. con (with). that it
means talking with another; they alb
stain from lecturing, and they are as
ready to listen as to be heard They are
neither impatient to interrupt others
nor uneasy when interrupted them
selves. Knowing that their anecdotes
or sharp replies will keep, or need not
find utterance at all, they give full at
tention to their companion, and do not
by their looks show that they consider
him bore. Another rule observed by
every good-mannered person. besides
that he should not be impatient to get

es of silence should occur in conversa-
ton. Another rule is not to select ones

mind that as a rule we and our concerns
are of no more Importance to others
than they and their concerns are TO us.
Why. then, should we go over the an
nails of our lives generally, and our dis
eases in particular, to comparative
strangers? Why should we review the
hardships we have suffered in money
matters. in love. or our domestic
troubles. or why should we boast of our
success? 1t is unnecessary to state
thatgossip or scandal-bearing is incom-

"are obvious; mainly. when we have

COUNTESS Won BULow.
A Charming Woman md One OF the
Most Talented Musicians In the
German Empire.

One of the most fascinating and tall
ented women in Germany is Countess
Bulow. wife of the new chancellor OF
the empire. Not only does she possess
great beauty. but she is noted as one
of the most talented musicians in Ger
many. She is no longer youthful, for
she has daughter of 80, Countess
Eugenia Doenhoff, and a son who is
captain of horse in the imperial army.
1t is not given out how many years
Countess Bulow has to her credit; that
is left to conjecture, but she still re-
kles furrow her brow and her figure
is 1.-THE and erect, while her manner
is as vivacious as that of woman
of 80. She rides. drives. plays and
hunts with all the enthusiasm of a
young woman just arrived at maturity,
and yet 25 years ago she stood for
one of the figures in Makart's great
canvas: Charles VS. Entry in Ant
werp." 1t is admitted that she is on
the shady side of so. According to the
fashion of her own country, the second
lady in the empire retains her maiden
name of Princess di Camporeale-a
great title that she can well afford
to support out of the revenues of her
marquisate of Altaville, Sicily. She
became marchioness when scarcely
five years old, upon the death of hes
father. The income is nearly 1000, 900

Now she owns a big cattle ranch and
runs it herself.
Miss Farmer was adopted by rich
ranch owner, who was killed by be-
ing thrown from a bronco. The ranch
was offered for sale, and she bought
it, including 700 head of COWS, with
money given her by her benefactor
during the five years she was with
him.
In the course of the next four years
her herds increased until it was diff
cult for her to find pasturage in Tex
as, and she was forced to send agents
to old Mexico to rent and buy grazing
lands. In order to befriend her for
mer pupils, who were deep in distress,
she bought the famous Broad AK
brand and the ranch.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of eXaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
tion but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
