Daneer in Ol.I Clothine.

The spread of leprosy in the Soudan
and other arid regions is attributed to
the custom of passing soiled wearing
apparel from person TO person. Owing
to the scarcity of water, the cleansing
of clothing is almost impossible, and 1t
is customary for the original purchaser
of new clothing to wear the same until
it becomes unbearably dirty, when 1t is
given or sold to some servant or person
of lower station, by whom ii is in turn
handed over TO some one still more i'm
poverished, and thus passes along the
line to the beggar or slave. The daily
calls of the old-clothes man in our larg
er cities and the advertisements seen in
the daily papers offering the highest
prices for cast-off clothing, old feather
beds, etc, remind us that more highly
civilized communities are not free from
the same source of infection-cast-off
apparel. What guarantee has the pub
lie that the clothing purchased of the
old-clOthes dealer has been properly dis
infected? While it is impossible to
trace the transmission of disease
through cast-off clothing or second
hand bedding with the same certainty
that applies 10 the transmission of lep-
rosy by similar means in the Soudan, it
requires little medical knowledge to
comprehend the dangers to which the
poor are subjected by the unregulated
traffic in soiled clothes. Ii old clothing
must be passed down the line, let it
ar least be fumigated. American Medi

What an AIrannao Did.

Matthews. Ark. Aug. 25th.-Mrs.
Lee S. Sanders, of his place, tells how
an almanac saved her life.
II have been touDled a great deal
with my kidney's all my life and was
constantly growing worse.
Il CHANGED TO get a copy of Dodd's
Almanac for 1902 and In it read some
stories OF how Dodd's Kidney Pills had
cured many very baG cases of Kidney
Trouble.
MY husband bought box and
began TO use them. and In a short time
we were surprised and delighted at
the wonderful improvement in my case
Il am now as web as anybody and
can not say too much for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. 1t was a lucky day for
me when | picked zip that almanac.
II believe Dodd's Kidney Pills will
cure anyone who suffers with Kidney
Trouble"

At a meeting of the Archaeological
Club, so the New York Times reports,
Prof. Lewis B. Patton of the Hartford
Theological Seminary, who is well
known as distinguished student of
Semitic archaeology, was approached by
lady who had come as a guest for
the purpose of interviewing him.
"Oh, Professor Patton, I'm so glad to
meet you" the lady gushed, shortly
after an introduction. Il want to con-
suit you about a matter which has
given me much anxiety"
The professor looked politely inter
ested, and the lady continued:
I'VE are arranging a series Of tab
leaux for the benefit of our church, IL
Illustrating events in the Old Testament,
and l am anxious that everything snail
be in keeping. One of the tableaux
represents Noah and his family in the
cabin Of the ark. have the costumes
quite correct, I'm sure, and the aces
series are strikingly appropriate. Some
of them are more than hundred years
old. But l cannot think how the cabin
should be lighted appropriately. Now,
professor. want to ask you what sort
of lights Noah had in his cabin, so that
our tableau can be as nearly correct as
possible from the archaeological point
of view"
well. madam" said Professor Pat
on, after reflection. Il do not know OF
any data respecting the time of Noah;
but If it devolyed upoE me to make
suitably luminous the beautiful tab
leau you have described, and every
thing else was as appropriate, should
certainly use arc lights"

LIGHTHOUSE AT CAPE HORN.
The Worlds Commerce Is Interested in
Chilean Survey.


Chilean Survey.
David Il. Hume, late conservator of
the River Humber gives the following
extract from the letter of a Chilean
naval officer, describing his visit 20
Cape Horn for the purpose of selecting
suitable site on which to erect light
house. Mr.. Hume mentions also that
the recently formed photographed de
partment of the Chilean government
has already materially simplified the
navigation of the Magellan straits by
erecting a lighthouse at each entra' &c
and by placing beacons and buoys on
several of the more intricate parts of
the passage.
The Chilean officer -rites, says the
London Times, as follows: 1--WE were
on the cruiser President ErraZuriz, un-
der the command of Captain Arturo
Cuevas, c. ", surveying the bay that
the captain named Allen Gardiner, on
the north side of Hardy peninsula, be-
tween Cape Jackson and Packsaddle,
where the mission station Is. We also
were exploring the unsurveyed parts
of these regions. When in Allen Gar
diner we waited for a good day and
went to Cape Horn at the rate of fif-
teen knots. We got quite close to the
land and found landing places on the
east side of the island and well pro
tected frye. the west winds, which are
dominant in these parts.
''In he first place, 1t was a question
of finding proper landing places; sec
ondly, well-protected place. solid foun-
dations, good sea view, good altitude
not so low that the waves would inter
fere and not so high that the clouds
would cover II; thirdly, that the island
should be fit for living. There are good
slopes and valleys on the east side, pro
tected from the winds, with streams OF
water and big woods for obtaining FIRE
wood. Having assured ourselves of
these things, ii is very easy matter OF
making the proper plans and outlayine
the lighthouse. If l say easy l do not
mean it is an easy task--long way from
it-but that it is possible and that there
would never be the immense difficulties
there were In the building OF the Evan
Relistas lighthouse on the rocks of the
same name in the west entrance of the
Straits of Magellan"

Warm Weather Philosophy.

Hot weather has its compensations as
wen as drawbacks. There is no bother
ing with overcoatS. dvershoes, and so
on; the gas and wafer pipes are not
frozen; your horse can move If he is
not sharp-calked; anG then there is all
the fruit and the berries and the green
vegetation, the beautiful landscape and
thousands of things that are enough TO
make you forget that hot weather is
here at all, il you only enjoy them as
you may. Let the weather come as it
does. As an old couatryman of sound
sense said the other Hay: 1T is fOrtu-
nate that no man has the making of the
weather for if he did he would be the
only one suited with it; while, as il now
is. large majority OF the people are
satisfied with il most Of the time. ("
These people who find So much fault
with the weather virtually confess their
neglect TO adapt themselves to it.
