STAMPING OUT THE FEVER.

A statement concerning the vital sta
tistics of the city of Havana for the
month of September, 1901, compiled
from official reports on file in the divi-
sion of insular affairs of, the war de-
partment. shows that the health con-
ditions were decidedly the best attain
ed in any month. The least number of
deaths occurring in any previous Sep
TENDER since 1859 was 496 in 1899; the
greatest number, 1887, in 1898; aver
age, 877. For September, 1901, there
were 339 deaths. The least number of
deaths occurring in any one preceding
month during the last eleven years was
in February, 1901, when there were
408 deaths. The lowest death rate for
September in the years referred to was
in 1899, when the death rate was 34.4
per thousand. For September, 1901, the
death rate was 1854 per thousand. TAX
ing the yellow fever year as commenc-
ing April L, the record of the past
eleven years shows that for the six
months up to the first of October the
smallest NUMBER of deaths from this
disease occurred in 1899, when there
were SO deaths; the greatest number in
1897, when there were $50 deaths-av-
erage. 296 deaths. This year, during
the same period. there were only five
deaths.

fact that the room Mother" Eddy oc-
cupied and where she performed her
task is In the upper tenement. Some
days there is almost a steady stream of
callers and the number increased so
rapidly that it took up the time of one
servant answering the bell and inter-
fered with household affairs SO much
that the door had to be closed to all
strangers.
The room which is the subject of
such solicitation is plain, small and is
lighted by small gable window and a
skylight in the roof, which is to be
seen in the picture One door opens
into the hallway and the other leads
to a small closet. The view is prac-
tically confined to glimpse of the next
housetop. which may be obtained
through the skylight by dint of cram
ing ones neck, and the beauties of a
lane which may be seen from the rear
window. There was certainly nothing
to distract Mrs. Eddy's attention from
the work in hand
Whatever else is changed in remod-
cling the house, it is likely that this
room will be preserved as a memento
of the woman and her work, which has
gathered such an array of followers in
the short time it has been under
way.

SOUTH AMERICAN TROUBLES.

Not only do the states quarrel with
in, says the National Review, but they
are perpetua1iy fighting with their
neighbors. It would be tedious to give
list of South American wars. The
most famous was that waged for five
years between Brazil, the Argentine.
and Uruguay, on the one hand, and
Marshal" Lopez of Paraguay, on the
other, from 1865 to 1870. In this MUIR
derous conflict the population of Para
quay was reduced from million to a
quarter of a million, and heavy losses
were inflicted upon the other states
In 1877 the Peruvian navy mutinied
and turned pirate until it was CO.
creed by the British squadron on the
spot In 1879 Chiie-one of the most
orderly states-attacked Peru and
Bolivia and fought them for two
years, eventually despoiling them OF
much territory. In the COS there We're
two serious civil wars, of more 6an
usual dimensions, endangering in some
degree the peace of the world. There
was the bloody revolution and war
of 1891 in Chile and less sanguinary
struggle in 1884 in Brazil between
the Peixotoists and Melloists. Since
1894 there have been continuous civil
wars or instructions in Colombia,

An American wit.

The story here related Is so typical
of our distinguished representative at
the court of st. James that one would
have no hesitancy in vouching for its
genuineness. A semi-state reception
was given at the residence of certain
lord in London; our inimitable
Choate in his court dress" of plain
broadcloth was extremely inconspicu-
Gus in comparison with the gold-laced
and insignia-decorated representatives
of ether countries When the night was
waning one of the departing guests,
whose Indulgence probably made him
forget that English lackeys on such
occasions wore the livery of their
office, approached Mr.. Choate and re-
quested him to call him cab. The
response was blank stare. Upon his
repeating the request, Wont you
call me a cab, please?" Mr.. Choate re-
sponded, Certainly. You're a cab"
Imagine the indignation of the insult
ed Englishman, who. upon making
complaint to the host, was asked as q
favor to point out the offender After
q search through the crowded saloons
the Englishman was quite at the ell
bow of Mr.. Choate when he exclaimed:

Rich Finds in Egypt.

A communication from Gen. Charles
W. Darling of Utica, honorary secre-
tary of the Egypt exploration fund,
gives some extremely interesting facts
relative to recent discoveries by Prof
Petrie at Abydos, which throw much
light upon the prehistoric period of
Egypt. This indeterminate period ex-
tends back to the paleolithic age of
man, evidence of which has been dis
covered, not only on the plateaus above
the Nile, but also in the river valley.
From borings, through the deposit of
Nile mud. Prof. Petrie argues that the
date in the history of the world. thus
decided, may be assigned to about 1000
B. c. To this date he ascribes his
earliest prehistoric graves, which, we
are told, reveal a people skilled in
manufactures. They possessed various
forms of pottery. stone vases, carved
ivory and finely wrought flint imple-
ments. They also knew the art OF
weaving.
At a later period of time. which can
not be fixed chronologically, came an
other wave of immigration, to take the
place of the Libyan stock, which had
previously emigrated into Egypt 1t
is thought that the later immigrants
were Amorites from Syria The new
people introduced silver, lapis lazuli
and hematite, and the amalgamation
of the two races resulted in brilliant
epoch of art. Then appeared the most
elaborate metal work; valuable beads
of gold turquoise and amethyst Still
later came a degradation, which con-
tfnued down to the first dynasty.

Nam. Dimcuit to Pronounce.

While Professor Virchow has been
an indefatigable worker in science and
politics all his life, on one thing he
surrendered, years ago, convinced that
it was useless to struggle against his
fate any longer. This thing was the
pronunciation of his name The Eng
lish, the French, the Italians, the Rus
slams, all had their own way of accost-
ing him, and even the Germans gen.
orally got it wrong, most OF them adj
dressing him as "Wircho" (the German

cording to the professor, is Fircho (the

WAR ON THE COYOTE PEsT.

Ranchmen Find That Grsyhounds Alone
Can Run Them Down.
The ranchmen OF the west. who have
suffered serious loss for many years
from the .depredations of the coyotes,
think they have discovered means for
their determination. Greyhounds
alone of all the dog creation are fleet
of foot enough to run down the cow
ardly little pests and at the same time
brave enough to give them battle
Ranchers throughout the country are
paying big prices for blooded dogs. and
the friendless coyote is on a run for
his life. For years the ranchers and
plainsmen have been skeptical of the
stamina and fighting qualities of the
greyhound in a finish fight with a
coyote, but that idea, unjust to the big
hearted dogs, is now entirely eradi-
Gated
Clinton E. Worden, an enthusiastic
greyhound man, was the first to give
the dogs fair trial. and his experience
showed that greyhounds can run down
and kill singly and collectively hun
dreds of the marauders of the plains.
At close quarters the coyote has not
the ghost of chance against the grey
hound, and when a pack of the dogs
or portion of them overhaul the
quarry it is very quick time to mince-
meat for the coyote.
Packs are now being trained on nu-
merous ranches, and the sport and ex-
element of coyote chase with grey
hounds is adding new zest to life on
the plains. Incidentally the ranchers
are Kidding themselves of disagreeable
neighbors.
