her services. Several priests have been
assigned to serve for short periods I'M
til relieved. AS yet none have contracted
the disease. They live apart from the
lepers entirely, and when waiting upon
them or caring for them they wear gloves.
This noble little band has made the home
a home indeed, but their tolls have not
erad1cated the horror of the place felt
among the lepers of the outer world who
have succeeded in preserving the secret
OF their affection. The law of the state
provides that all lepers shall be commit
ted to this institution; but the law is not
enforced. There are now 80 lepers con-
nned here, while nearly 200 are harbored
secretly in their homes.
The identity of those confined at the
institution Is maintained a profound Sc
cret and few outsiders are allowed to
enter the place. A permit, by no means
easy to obtain, must be presented before
a visitor is admitted. The most tragic
cases at the institution are two young
girls, both of them beautiful, cultured
and members of prominent Louisiana
families. Not a mark has yet appeared
upon the face of either-but they wear
gloves, always. When the writer visited
the enclosure these girls were sitting in
the garden reading to several children
and old men. A sister introduced the
writer to the girls without mentioning
their names. Both talked cheerfully and
without reference to their terrible fate.
Their cases are, of course, hopeless; all
leprosy cases are.

Gus that the authorities had to establish
a home end isolate them. The home was
erected on Metarie Ridge, a high strip
OF the city. 1t lasted fifteen years, until
the patients disappeared, either by death
or escape. The crusade had ended after
forty had been ferreted out and incar-
cerated there, and then the unfortunate
beings were left to exc out a doubtful
existence. Little or no attention was paid
to them further than the provision of
funds to imburse the contractor for their
care, and rumor has it that the lack OF
care and the desolate surroundings hast
ened deaths and warranted departures.
"Leper Land" as the spot was called,
remained a Withholding place until 1906,
when band of itinerant Indians pitched
their tents upon it and tore down the
rattle-trap building for firewood.
Relieved of this constant reminder of
the prevalence of the disease, and hear
ing and seeing little of it. because of the
seclusion kept by the lepers, who feared
another crusade against them, the pub
lie grew apathetic to or forgot the dan
ger. So, on to 1878, the disease snnoul>
dered in hidden quarters. In this time 50
cases were admitted to the Charity Hos
pital in New Orleans. The Board of
Health became fearful. at this juncture,
that so many should remain at large
and began a canvass to ascertain the ex-
act number there were in the state. with
a view to recommending to the Legisla-
ture that they be again isolated. But,

edge of the modern agent. She is a grad
uate of the Iowa State University, and
had held various important Offices in
state medical and charitable institutions,
both in Iowa and Pennsylvania, before
she adopted electricity as an aid to med
icine. Miss Cleaves has invented va
rious electrical apparatus. There are
many physicians In the great cities hav-
ing women assistants, whom they have
instructed in the administering OF cleo
trio treatment and who are quite prof.
cient These women are familiar with the
electric-arc bath as a substitute for sun
shine to an ailing body. They under
stand hydro.electrtc applications, gall
vanic CURRENTS and something about dose
measurements. They are not scientists,
but from constant contact with electrical
apparatus they are able to treat patients
successfully and some have set up sani-
tariums of their own.
But" said an authority in regard to
these amateurs, too great stress cannot
be laid upon the necessity for the use
of the best knowledge and the best in
struments of precision so as to insure
careful dosage Electrical engineering
leads all other branches in the exactness
and certainty of it's results. This is just
as true in medicine as in general cleo
trical work, and it behooves a thorough
grounding IN the principles or electricity
as a science before its application to cur
alive use should be taken up. Electricity
is an agent that lends itself readily to
the sensationalist and the smatterer in
many lines. Some women are agents
for the makers OF electrical goods and
apparatus in the physicians line. They
are sufficiently versed in their subject to
talk glbly about the goods they handle.
Any one inquiring into electrical matters
hears of these just as he hears of IA
kris in the other callings and professions;
but the face remains that although the
number of women graduates in electric
ity is not one-fifth that of women grad
yates in law, theology, botany or art,
those who have mastered the study have
made a notable success of It, There Is
q woman expert telegraph operator who
has at various times illustrated the
workings of automatic telegraphic ma
chimes put on the market by an expert
enced inventor. She has been at the ell
bow of the inventor from first to last,
and he, while versed in the theory of
his machine, was powerless to show 1t
in actual practice unless this ally was
along to demonstrate It's value, She has

Ancient Bookkeeping Methods.
Fror the London Chronicle.

The collection of Assyrian and Babylon
ian records at the British Museum has
revealed more of the domestic life Of peo-
pie who lived 5000 year ago than is
known in the case of our own countrymen
900 years ago. Such was the opinion ex-
pressed by Mr. W. St. Chad Boscawen
when he explained these relics to an in
terested audience. The clay bricks and
cylinders beneath the glass cases were
covered with characters testifying to a
completely organized system Of Justice
marriage, divorce and commerce. The
bookkeeping of 5000 years ago was shown
to be wonderfully accurate. A curious
form of baked clay tablets, which were
lnclosed in clay envelopes also inscribed
with the terms of the transaction, so that
a double record provided against the pos
sibiIities of damage. The open and
closed evidence" spoken OF by jeremiah
is supposed to refer to this system. The
practice Of recording on brick the name
Of the King. of the building, and Of the
city in which it was being erected has
had the advantage in modern days that
an old brick may become the means of
disinterring a city hitherto unknown.
