GERMANS AS CITIZENS.

DRINCE HENRY need not infer from
the cordial greetings which the
German Americans are preparing to
give him that their hea~'S beat more
warmly Tor the fatherla.lu IT, n for the
country of their adoption. The Ger
mans have proved their adaptability TO
new surroundings and the rapid growth
of their affections for the United States
on more than one occasion. Siegers
famous brigade in the war of the rebel
lion is striking example.
A more recent one comes to The Her
aid from an American friend in Ger
many. H tells of meeting a young
rnan named Hartmann, who is in AK
la Chapelle studying mining engineer
ing. Hartmann's parents are both Ger
mans and he was born in this country
not long after their arrival. As a con-
sequence he is technically an American,
but really a German. lone evening
last February says The Heralds cor
respondent, Hartmann happened to be
sitting at a table in a restaurant in
AK near three German army officers
who knew he was a German American.
"They soon began TO talk in loud
tones for his benefit. OF course they
talked about America, and, after run
ming down our institutions and man
ners in general, they began an attack
| on our army. American soldiers are
nothing but tin soldiers; they have nc

avoided a scrap as long as possible, bui

INFECTIOUS AND CONTAGIOUS.

- ONE SURPRISE has been created
y in medical circles by tie an
nouncement Of the authorities of Belle
vue hospital in New York. that con-
sumption is an infectious disease. The
surprise is not Occasioned b. the an
nouncement, but by its belated ap-
pearance. il has long been generally
believed that consumption is infectious
and at intervals physicians have urged
that patients suffering from the dis
ease be isolated. In several states hos
pitfalls have been provided solely for
the treatment of such invalids and
more Will be established as the infec-
tious character of the malady becomes
better recognized.
In this connection it may be said
that some confusion exists as to ithe
/ difference between the terms "lnfec-
tioUs' and contagious Many are OF
the impression that the words are syn
onymous. This is far from the truth,
the only similarity being that both re-
fer to the communicating of disease.
/ An infectious trouble cannot DE COM
municated except by direct contact.
/ That is, it is impossible for one who
! has been nursing a consumptive 10
communicate tuberculosis to a third
party. a contagious disease, on the
other hand, is one which can be car
ried in clothing, in the air. or in many
other ways. A perfectly healthy per-
son could carry smallpox from a pest
house or patient to another person
or scores of other persons.
No one need have any fear of con-
tracing an infectious ailment, such as
! typhoid fever or consumption, without
contact with a sufferer. There is
therefore not the same need for iso-
lation as in contagious diseases, the
only trouble being that it might be
possible for an individual who had tu-
berculosis or typhoid in the incipient
stage without suspecting it to fasten il
upon some one else.

For a royal engagement to be broken

unique. Prince Siegfried of Bavaria,

among European royalties. The clos.

enough, concerned an Austrian Prince

Slavery was not considered wrong
by the great Greek moralists, whose
ethical views on many other topics
were at least on plane with those of
modern times. In the same way the
English colonists, who at home would
have secuted the very idea of slavery,
soon became in the Southern States Of
America the most ardent and sincere
advocates of the system; even the cler-
gymen of the South honestly refused
to consider slavery q sin. Had the
Northern and Western States been SUBJ
jected to the same climatic and eco.
nomic condition there is little doubt
that, SO far at least as they could keep
themselves shut off from contact with
the more advanced industrial civiliza-
