CIVILIZATION IN UGANDA.
Prime Minister Has Become an Exper,
In Plain Sewing.

In Plain Sewing.
Civilization is progressing with
rapid strides In the African kingdom
of Uganda, where little while ago all
was barbarism. A curious manifesto
ton OF civilization in this black king
dom is the fad which has been taken
up by the prime minister of the infant
king, that official having become an
expert In plain sewing. He Is now in
dustriously engaged in cultivating the
more advanced forms of needlework
under the instruction Of the wife OF
one Of the missionaries, and will
doubtless In a short time be able to do
herring bone" and other fancy
stitches. The little King Dandi re-
Gently gave dinner to celebrate his
fourth birthday, and the napkins used
were all hemmed by the prime min
lister. II all prime ministers would
devote more time to their sewing and
less to affairs Of state the world would
be much more peaceful place. King
Dandi's birthday dinner was intended
to illustrate to the British commits
sioner and the other white men Of the
country the advances which have been
made in civilization in Uganda. All
the chief Europeans at Mengo, the
capital. attended the reception, which
was followed by banquet got up In
English fashion. 1t was produced by
natives entirely without assistance,
and would have done credit to first-
class New York restaurant. The
guests found cards bearing their
names at the places at table at which
they were to sit. and all the plates.
spoons, knives. forks, glasses, etc.,
were just where they belonged; and
the courses, which were served deftly
and properly, consisted Of food such
as one would expect to find at BAN
quet In any white mans capital. The
next day there was thanksgiving
service in the cathedral Of Mengo al
which the coal-black congregation
sang Sir Arthur Sullivan's Onward
Christian Soldier. New York Press.

only move the bowels tend only to further
weaken an already deblitated body. There
is one medicine, u new one, discovered by
the well known physician and surgeon, DR..
David Kennedy, and called Calcura Solvent.
This remedy cures because it is the great
internal cleanser. II is not mere physic.
It strengthens as well as cleanses the liver,
blood, stomach, bowels, kidneys and blad-
der. What soap and water do for the outer
man Calcura Solvent does for the delicate
mechanism within, only it works mildly, in
harmony with the complicated and delicate
organism it has to deal with. You can get
a small sample bottle of the marvellous new
medicine by writing to the discoverer, DR..
David Kennedy. Kennedy Row, Kingston,

Solvent is carefully made under the per-
sonal supervision Of DR.. Kennedy; there

The efforts Of DR.. Reed have been
supplemented by experiments, under
government authorization, in which
well persons have been subjected to
tests which in several cases have
proven fatal. In July Cuban boy
was taken to Havana and after eleven
hungry mosquitoes had been put In

Training ships With and without Sails.
The Iron Duke Is to replace the
Northampton as a sea going training
ship. The latter is masted, and the
Iron Duke Is not; her sails and yards
having been removed some two or
three years ago. So the masted drill
will receive another check. 1t is prob
ably a pity; for boys trained hurried
ly, as Northampton boys are, the
masts and yards seem to have been
valuable aids. We are ourselves not
enamored of the old school, but that
does not blind us to facts, and the
success of Northampton boys seems
chiefly attributable to such work aloft
as they get.-London Enquirer.

officers who have been responsible for
such an extraordinary advance In our
knowledge Of the etiology Of the dread
disease may be tie investigators to
carry the work through to its fullest
conclusions.
The Experiments.
During the autumn OF 1900 an expe-
rimental sanitary station was estab-
Nshed in the open, mile from Que
mados. Two houses were built. tightly
constructed, with windows and doors
protected by wire screens. In one OF
these houses, sOiled sheets, pillow
cases, and blankets were used as bed
ding, and this bedding was brought
straight from the beds Of patients sick
with yellow fever at Havana. For 60
days these beds were occupied by
members Of the hospital corps for pc
RODS varying from 20 to 81 days. At
the end OF this occupation the men.
who were all non-immunes, were t.
ken to quarantine for five days and
then released. Not one Of them was
taken i'll. All were released in excel
lent health. This experiment is OF the
greatest Importance, as showing that
the disease Is not conveyed by fomites.
and hence the disinfection Of cloth
ing, bedding, or merchandise supposed
to have been contaminated by contact
with yellow fever patients Is no longer
necessary, and the extremes to which
this disinfection work has been car
ried in cases of yellow fever epdem-
les in our southern states have been
perfectly useless.
Tho Infected Mosquito Building"
In the other house. which was known
as the infected mosquito building"
were no articles which had not been
carefully disinfected. The house con-
tanned two rooms. and non-immunes
were placed in both rooms. In one
room, separated from the other by wire
screen partitions only. mosquitoes
which had bitten yellow fever patients
were admitted. From the other room
| they were excluded. In the latter room
the men remained in perfect health:
| in the mosquito room so per cent Of
the persons bitten by infected mosqui-
| toes that had been kept twelve days
or more after biting yellow fever pa
| tients were taken with the disease, and
| the yellow fever diagnosis was con-
firmed by resident physicians in Ha-
vana who were above all others famil-
lar with the disease In every form.
Persons bitten by mosquitoes at an
earlier period than twelve days after
they had bitten yellow fever patient
did not contract the disease. In an
other series Of experiments, Of seven
persons bitten by infected mosquitoes
