American "Prudishness. >,

In the face of foreign criticism, and
in the face of ones own dismay at ex-
listing conditions with regard to d.
vorce, we still sympathize with the re-
tort administered to an alien critic OF
our people, who had declared, in pri-
vate conversation, that America seemed
to be afflicted with the disease of prud-
ishness. The answer was somewhat
in these words (the incident occurred
several years ago.: "Yes, probably it is
true that Americans are prudish, but
consider the revelations that have re.
Gently taken place concerning certain
circles in London, and considering the
condition of good part of the Paris
ian stage and of French literature, ],
for one, am willing we should pay that
price for the knowledge that, on the
whole, Americans are the decentest
people, in regard to the relations of
the sexes, on the face of the globe."-

THE GIANT CACTUS.
That Are Found Only in Our
Southwestern Deserts.

No one ever saw the giant cactus
on the sandy deserts of Africa; the
primeval architects of the Nile never
knew this motive for their colossal
dreams, says Harriet Monroe, in At
lantic. Here alone do these tall
monuments guard the graves of
worlds, and perhaps this very one
gaze on was scarcely begun When
Ramesis was born. Day and night I
question it, by sunlight and moon
light and the unfailing stars, until
gradually the unfamiliar harmonies
of its sun-searched life justify them
selves to my soul. The sense of I'M
canniness, of monstrosity, passes
away; the emotion no longer appaEs
and rends me, but soothes with i'm
mensities of restfulness.
To 60 out on the desert day after
day and meet these cacti is like whis-
pering into the ear of the sphinx and
listening at her locked lips. So wise
they are, SO old with the age of the
world, so MAZE tically still in those
cataclysmic solitudes! And to 60 out
in April and see them suddenly
abloom is as though the lips of the
sphinx should part and utter solemn
words. A bunch of white flowers at
the tip of the obelisk, flowers spring
ing white and wonderful out of this
dead, gaunt, prickly thing-is not.
that natures consummate miracle, q
symbol of resurrection more pro-
found than the lily of the fields?
And in April also the lesser cacti arc
abloom with gorgeous flaming colors
each dragon bears jewel in it's
teeth as tribute to the fervid sun.
And the paloverde puts forth it's deli
cate, downy, yellow plumage, and the
sagebrush renews it's silver. Even
the changeless desert must follow
the changing year, must greet the
spring with renewal of life, must ur-
furl it's banners to the sun. And if a
few drops of rain just moisten it's
crust, it is strange how suddenly the
sternness of its mood will change;
the entire face of the pale earth will
become softly green in a night, CRATE
fully yelling itself close with a sill
very LEAKAGE tiny and tender and
delicate; and masses of California
poppies will spread out their patches
of cloth of gold.

learned the lesson that contagion-
that is to say the ''catching' quality
of q diseases in every case mat
ter of specific microbe or germ. BY
specific is meant that each disease
has it's own microbe, and one cannot
catch the disease except by receiving
in one way or another that particular
germ.
These germs have their own manners
and customs, means of travel and pre-
scribed length of life, and it is by the
study of these details that we learn
how to avoid the transmission of con-
tagious illnesses. We know, for in
stance, that to get typhoid fever or
cholera the microbe has to be taken
into the system in the form of i'm
pure food or water, and SO every year
more and more precautions are taken
to have the water-supplies of our big
cities free from contamination, and
stricter attention is given to the purity
of our food. An outbreak of typh old
fever is no longer considered, in the
old sense, Visitation of Providence -
but is recognized as shame and a re-
Election on local conditions, wherever
it occurs. i-,,
Consumption and whooping-cough,
we know, are passed from one person
to another by means of the expectora-
tions, and it is to be hoped that in the
near future we shall put this knowl-
edge to better use than we do at pres
ent, and protect. ourselves by much
more stringent rules. General ex-
pectoration is public offense and
menace, and should be made a penal
matter. The danger with expectorated
matter is that it dries and is then
scattered by the wind so that one and
all must take the risks. This outrage
should be so handled by all in authori-
ty that in the near future the present
condition of our cars and streets will
seem like an evil nightmare.
Scarlet fever and diphtheria are
caught by any carnations from the
body, especially the saliva. The poi
son can cling for months and years
to clothes and toys aud books, and
those things should always be de-
stroyed if they have come in contact
with the sick, and sick.rooms should
be fumigated and made scientifically
clean before they are again occupied.
Notwithstanding all our precautions
there will always be disease germs,
but the most virulent germ can do

the resistant power of perfect health.
