ANTI-TYPHoID INCUBATION.
A Marked Advantage Noted from the
Course of Treatment.

A Marked Advantage Noted from the
Course Of Treatment.
In the Lancet is published an arti-
Gle by Prof. A. E. Wright, Of the
Army Medical school, Netley, set
ting forth in a synoptical table all
the data collected up to the present
which bear on the results obtained
by anti-typhoid incubation, which
was inaugurated and has been car
ried out by him within the last Ave
years.
With regard to the results, says the
London Times, it is demonstrated
that all the statistics, if we except
two small series which are shown to
be yitiated by important fallacies,
show that a marked advantage was
achieved by incubation, both from
the point Of view Of the lessened in
cldence Of typhoid fever among the
inoculated and from the point Of
view OF the lessened case Of Immortality
among the inoculated who subse-
quently contracted the disease. This
diminution Of mortality among those
attacked is shown by observation in
many different hospitals Covering,
along with many thousands Of cases
Of uninoeulated, several hundreds Of
cases Of inoculated) to amount to a
diminution Of half in the mortality
Of typhoid fever. The lessened incl
dence Of the disease is shown to
amount to a twofold reduction Of the
number Of cases in~oculated. AS the
result Of the diminished mortality,
superadded to the diminution Of in
cidence, it is shown that the re-
duction Of mortality Of typhoid has
on the whole body OF statistics
amounted to a fourfold reduction.
These are important results, evil
denced as they are by "A separate sta
tistics collected by observers all over
the world and critically sifted as they
have been in the manner lust indicat-
ed. But more important than the
actual results is the prospect that in
future it will be possible toimprove
upon these results as the problems
connected with the dosage Of the vac
cine shall have been worked out and
as soon as the only blot upon the in
occulations-i. e., the apparently
more susceptible condition in which
the patients are left Immediately
after inoculation-ahall have been
removed by the elaboration Of a
fully adequate method Of standards

had come to punish, two hundred
boats having been destroyed by them.
It was decided, therefore, to abandon
the boats and march home overland.
In the meantime men we're dyinglike
flies, and because the troops refused
to leave their dead in the hostile
country it was necessary to carry the
corpses back to Sarawak. BY the time
the expedition finally reached home
there were more than a thousand Of
these, and the retreat, which had
begun in an orderly manner, ended
in a panic-stricken rout. The total
number Of deaths from cholera
amounted to considerably more than
One-twelfth Of the entire army, and
the other losses were very heavy.

CHOLERA DEcIMATED ARMY.
History of Rajah Brooke's W ar in Sara

Sarawak, that most picturesque

a great calamity. Since 1S41 Sara

Borneo, has been ruled by an Eng

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Tale Of a California Inebriate Whose
Breath Caught Fire.

That is a strange story Of spon-
taneous combustion that is told
in a Geographic dispatch from
San Francisco in the Roches-
ter Post-Express to the effect
THAT an inebriate, attempting to
light a cigar at a gas jet, his breath
csught fire, the flames burning the
interior Of the chest to a crisp. This
story is paTalleled, strangely enough,
in the very interesting memoirs Of
BlGnchini. 1t concerns the remark
able case of combustion Of the body
Of the Countess Bandi of the city Of
Cessna, Italy. One evening the
countess felt an unusual drowsiness
and retired early, her maid remain
ing with her until she had fallen
asleep. Next morning when the girl
called to awaken her mistress she
found nothing but the charred re-
mains Of the countess lying in a heap
in the middle of the floor; the I'M
consumed portions, feet, legs, hands
and fingers, still glowing with a clear,
white heat. In the center Of the
heap lay the head. These parts
were all that were left Of the countess
save the heap Of ashes. Two tallow
candles that had been blown out and
left on the table were found to be
melted, the vicks remaining, which
clearly proved they had not been
consumed in the regular way. Moth
ing in the apartment had been in
jured in the least, but everything
furniture, tapestry, bedclothes, etc.
was literally covered with a
peculiar damp, sootlike substance.
Articles in the dining room adioin-
ing were also coated with the sub.
stance While the countess was not
addicted 70 strong drink, She had
for years daily bathod her body in
camphcrated spirits Of vine. Ac-
cording e Biarehini the mystery Of.
the countess death was never satis-
factorily explained.

takes a few snifs-not less than
three and not more than five Is ko-

When it has reached the last guest
the hostess takes the censor. retires
behind the screen, knocks out the
ashes, and, opening a package Of No.

ing" as the japanese cali it. The
object is to enable the guests to fix
the memory Of each sort of incense
in their nasal memories. Now begins
the game. Once more retiring be-
hind her screen the hostess shufHes
her own packages, takes one at ran
dom, observes its number, drops it
into the censor, lights it and sends it
on It's round among the guests. They
try to remember whether it is Aum-
Der one. two or three
In the tablet box each drops a tab
let whose numeral corresponds with
that they believe is the special in
cense that is going round. The proc
ess is repeated until all the packages,
including the guest incense, are used
up. AT the end of each round the
hostess collects the set of tablets and
ties them together.
The packages exhausted, the bun
dies Of tablets are examined. The
designs on the backs Of the tablets
establish the identity Of their several
owners. The guest who has made the
largest number Of correct guesses re-
ceives a prize, generally a choice bit
Of Japanese bric-a-brac.
Such is ko-kwai. In Japan there
are a lot Of ceremonial details con-
nected with the game, which are re-
ligiously observed. These include
the wearing Of a special form Of XII
mona, that must be fresh from the
laundry and without perfume, alb
staining from strongly favored food
for IL hours before the game, and the
locking Of doors ana windows during
the ko-kwai.
Even in Japan the prices Of ko-
kwai perfumes range from $3.50 to
$50 an envelope Of 100 tiny waters.
The kokwai sets, censor, tablets, ETC.,
also command fancy prices. A COM
mon set is worth $50, while some that
are among the cherished possessions
Of the old Samurai families are abso-
lutely priceless. The implements in
these cases are Of gold and gold lac
quer. On them Japan's historical art
masters have expended years Of
work.

THE A M OF SCENTS.
'KO-Kwai" a Form Of Entertainment
Borrowed from the Japanese.

'KO-Kwai" a Form Of Entertainment
Borrowed from the Japanese.
Ko-kwai is a new pastime in New
York. The man-who-is-neyer-sur-
prised viii, when he hears this, re-
mark: Really" and s~traightway
start to tracking it to his dictionary
lair. There he won't fndit. For ko-
kwai comes from afar and hasn't yet
become part and parcel Of everyday
speech or u~sage-whieh it promises
to be, however.
Now that Japan is recovering from
her first fever for things foreign, says
the Kansas City Star, she is realizing
that she can ill afford to lose a lot Of
things that belong to her past.
Hence it is that many Of the customs
Of Samurai days are being revived
in society at Toxic and elsewhere,
among them the ko-kwai, or, as some
authorities have it, the "ko-co." In
either instance the words may be
freely translated as incense party"
or perhaps incense game"
Now, there are several kinds Of ko-
kwai, but that known as jitchu-ko, or
