Strange Diseases.

Lombardy is the one place where
pellagra is always prevalent, that
mysterious modern ailment due to
eating damaged maize, which since
1888, when it was first noticed, is
computed to have been responsible
for the death of more than 5OO,-
900 peasants. Mandalay ringworm,
again, is known and dreaded
throughout Burma, but even the
most ignorant Burmese is aware
that it cannot be contracted orxside
the ancient capital. Similarly
crock" fever is confined to Gibral-
tar, although it is probable that the
ailment known as Maltese fever,
which can be contracted only in
Malta and there only in the spring
and autumn, is closely allied to it.
Aleppo evil, too, is unknown in any
of the other cities of Asia Minor,
just as the Delhi boil is confined to

Killed by Tmaqination.

There have been several well au-
thenticated cases where death has
been caused by sheer fright. An
English military surgeon named
Francis told Of one case, that of a
drummer in India, across whose
legs a harmless lizard crawled while
he was half asleep. He was sure
that cobra had bitten him, and it
was too much for his nerves, and he
died.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.
Remarkable Results Achieved i'm
Great Britain.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Remarkable results have been achieved in
Great Britain and certain of her colonies
through the establishment of savings banks
under the control OF the POstoffice Depart
ment-why their management is confined to
the pOstoffice authorities we do not profess
to understand Why can't the War Office
and the Lords of the Admiralty turn bank
ers? But this is depression. The postoffice
savings bank in England accepts deposits
small as a shilling and of the total sum
yearly intrusted to its keeping 60 per cent.
represents individual contributions Of less
than 81 each. Every deposit Of a shilling
or more costs the bank 51s pence for accept
ance and recording, while each Withdrawn
entails the same expense. Interest Is paid
on all sums over 81 at the rate of 2l2 per
cent. per annum, which is very liberal
rate in England. No depositOr may pay in
more than $50 per year and no account is
allowed to exceed more than goo The to-
tai of all the deposits in the United King
dom is now e143,0O0.OO0. of which 80 per
cent. are less than $50 each.
The encouragement to thrift given by
such an institution is enormous. The Sc
curity is all that can be desired. Ii is as
safe, or safer. than the Bank of England
or, the retiring chancellor of the eX-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, put it.
LAS safe as anything in this world can be"
1t is remarkably convenient, too, for the
pOstoffice savings bank has in the kingdom
no less than 1900 branches, in any one OF
which depositors whose accounts were
started elsewhere may do business. For
instance, a man who paid his money in at
the Liverpool office may draw it out again
at Leeds, and so on.
1t costs $50,OO0 of our money to meet the
yearly expenses of this bank. The central
office alone has a staff of three thousand
clerks. Fifteen million deposits are made
every year. There are 500, 600 Withdrawals.
while an average days record is $1,000 de-
pOsitS and 1900 Withdrawals. And the
most peculiar feature of the whole system
is that the accounts for the entire kingdom
are kept in the ledger room at the central
office in London. No local postmaster may
keep any general record of his business be-
yond the limits of each day. His daily re-
port must be forwarded to London each
night, where it is duly entered, and further
than making out this report he has moth
ing to do with bookkeeping.

AN UNCoNvENTIoNAL PRESIDENT.

President Roosevelt has recently fur
nished some characteristic revelations Of
his true democracy-be careful to read the
word with a small j. He is undoubtedly
the most unconventional President that
ever occupied the White House. He is
never undignifed. but he is entirely indie
pendent Of the shackles and restrictions
which some are disposed 10 put on high
office. Being naturally unconventional and
democratic he shows out his character as
President just as he would plain Theo-
dore Roosevelt Some little incidents OF
recent occurrence illustrate this. Just be-
fore the President left Oyster Bay a COM
mittee Of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Firemen called to invite him to attend
their annual convention at Chattanooga.
The chairman of the committee was Dem
Ocrat. Most Presidents would have given
the committee a formal hearing and let it
go at that. President Roosevelt accepted
their invitation and then invited the com
mittee to dinner to meet some other guests.
Afterwards the chairman said: why, that
man is no aristocrat. He's a good-enOugh
Democrat for me-" If there is any such
thing as arstocracy in this country Theo-
dore Roosevelt was born into it, but he is
too much of. a gentleman and too genuine
democrat to show it. At Hartford the local
managers of his reception fOolishly ignored
the mayor in the arrangements because
before his election he was a salesman in
clothing store and not leading citizen"
AS soon as President Roosevelt learned the
situation he sent word to the mayor that
he would be pleased TO see him at the pri-
vate house where he was to stay, and in
his speech in the evening he mentioned the
mayor by name among those whom he
thanked. Under the circumstances most
officials would have thought it best not to
mix in local affair of that kind, but Pres
ident Roosevelt disregarded conventionali-
ties and tried to rectify what he thought
was wrong. At another place when the
President was asked about demonstration
| of the previous day he said, 1T was a
whopper." Now, "whopper' is not exactly
a presidential word. The dictionaries class
it as ''colloquial," and it borders on slang.
/ But everybody KNOWS what IL means. Inc
dictionary gives the preference to the SPELL
ing Wrapper" and defines it as something
uncommonly large of the kind; something
astonishing" The President said "whop-
per-" and everybody knew what ne meant.
Some Presidents would have said: 1T was
an exceedingly large and impressive demon
stration' That might have been more
conventional. but it would not have been
more expressive than "whopper." Finally,
when the President met his old guide. Bill
| Sewall, at Bangor, he gave him a hand
shake with II glad to see you, BILL
and invited him to a dinner the Governor
was about to give. AS the guest of honor
| the President had a right TO invite friend,
and he invited Bill, and Bill went. In this
the President acted out his real and sincere
nature without stopping to think of conven
tionalities. He is for men, and he is one
! of them.
