SUCCESSFUL SCIENCE.
Wonderful Progress in Medical Pro.
heieney in Recent Times.
Diseases That Used TO Create Mach
Alarm Are Now Regarded with
Little Fear-Deaths from
Did Age.

That medical science has Of late
been making rapid progress in its
fight on disease and death is evident
from the material lowering of the gem
eral death rate which has been accom-
plished in recent years. Not only has
the general death rate been lowered,
but official statistics on the subject
show that some Of what were formerly
considered 10 be the most formidable
and virulcnt forms Of disease have now
been deprived of the greater part Of
their terror. Their approach used 70
be viewed with alarm and panic, and
the skillful physicians shrank
from a combat with them and virtual
" admitted their impotency to deel
with them effectively. Now the pres
nee Of these diseases causes little or
no alarm. The most virulent cases can
be handled with the greatest ease, ef-
iciency and success.
II is also noteworthy that the par
ticular forms of death which claim
the greatest number OF victims are
constantly changing. Consumption
once headed the list. but the atten-
ton paid TO this dreaded malady and
the measures adopted to prevent its
spread have been 80 successful that IL
has been robbed Of its prominence and
forced back to second place. So great
have been the results attained in deal
ing with il that the hope is now enter
tanned that in a few years it will be
reduced to fourth or fifth place in the
list Of the most fatal maladies. As it
is, II has yielded prominence to pneu-
monia, which nov claims more victims
than any other ailment. Heart disease
occupies third place on the list. and
shows al evident tendency to compete
for supremacy. The strenuous life
now led by the majority Of the people
has proved to be a most active ally
Of this form of disease. and the ever
increasing inclination toward luxury
and high-living of those having it in
their power to indulge themselves also
contributes largely to the increase Of
this form of fatality.
On the other hand. says the Chicago
Post, contagious diseases which were
formerly regarded with greatest
alarm q cut n very unimportant
figure in the mortuary lists. Small
pox. scarlet fever, and even diphtheria.
have now little or no alarm for the
ordinary practitioner, and the diseases
due to bad drainage and insanitary
conditions have by the general de-
crease, IL not the absolute removal Of
the causes which originated and sus-
tanned them, been forced back to n
very inconspicuous place in the array
of fatal maladirs. II is satisfactory to
note that the number of people who
die from old age is constantly increas-
ing. This cause of death is now as
signed to 54.00 persons in every 100. 600
Of the population. and the tendency is
steadily TO increase the number. II
is not unreasonable to expect that
before the close Of the present CEN
fury the psalmist's hint of three score
years and ten, or the utmost fou.
score years, will be considerably
heightened.

MELONS IN WINTER.
. Rusian Variety Of nusk-
mslOn in Utah.

"And now, children" said Dean Peck,
'let us cut n melon" Even the young
est child snickcred. For outside there
was snow and ice, ant with Christmas
hardly a week away, how could the
good dear he so funny as to suggest
melonsP
But the wise dean merely smiled and
introduced a quiet, pleasant man in
gold-rimmed spectacles-A. l.. Hitch
cock, of California. And Mr.. Hitch
cock had under his arm an oval bun
die that might have been the hugest
egg of the biggest ostrich that ever
shed a feather. That's what it might
have been, but it wasn't that. 1t was
a melon-a muskmelon-and in the
winter time. 1t was a big melon, says
the Denver Post.
Now, letting alone the fact that il
was a big melon to begin with, il Ger
tainly did seem as though there vas
something strange about that melon.
All the children had some, and they
ate and ate. Yet when they were done
there was still enough melon for the
dean to take home. And he had some.
and his family had some, and only the
nurse asked for more. so there was
really something wonderful about tina,
melon besides its being ripo II week
before Christmas.
There was another wonderful thing
about the melon; il grew in a desert.
1.-THE melons are called Khiva winter
melons, said Mr.. Hitchcock, "and the
headquarters for them in this coun-
try is at Elgin. Utah, in the great des-
ert. There j. r. Brown. who has
raised all sorts OF melons for years,
has taken up the raising of winter
watermelons and muskmelOns for seed.
They have become so well known now
that he can hardly keep up with the
demand for seed, even at rs cents an
ounce. Yet five years ago these mel
ons were u~nknownin the United States.
THE government got the first seed
from Khiva, Asiatic Russia, and sent
. sample to Mr.. Brown to try. To
everybody's surprise, the melons did
exceedingly we'll in the desert, though
al Rocky Ford, famous for melons,
they failed.
"They are picked in October and re-
quire almost two morxhs to ripen aft
sr they are picked. Then they will
keep until March.
Everybody in Utah knows of the win.
ter melons. ! have just come from
there. and | have been eating melons
every day. Green River is the nearest
station to Elgin, and it is one Of the
sights, when the train pulls in, to see
the people rush for the piles of melons
that are kept waiting for their ar
rival. There is a watermelon and a
muskmelon, and each is equal to the
best OF the summer melons.

BOLD VIRGINIA K
The Animals In buckingham Counts
Display Evidences Of Vicious
Ma1ady.

The gray foxes in Buckingham, one

Na.) correspondence of the philade.-
. phia Press. Old fox hunters who have
given the subject investigation are in
c.ined To doubt that the trouble comes
from rabies. They hold that the symp-
toms are not those Of that disease.
Whatever be the nature of the malady,
the foxes have manifested a buldness
and aggressiv,ness unknown to the
hunters of Buckingham or anywhere
else in Virginia.
Two little sons of b. w. Agee, in the
neighborhood Of New Store, were at
tackled and followed to their home.
Not long after that a fox went to the
home of jackson Matthews. a colored
man, and, after d hard fight with a coon
dog. the inmates of the house came out
and conquered the animal without kill
ing it.
Some days later an old lady in the
neighborhood was milking in a COW pen
when a fox appeared and began to bite
the COWS numerically about the legs.
The old lady armed herself with a cart,
standard and placed herself upon the
defensive, but the fox outbluffed her,
chasing her up an apple tree, and freed
her there for an hour. Finally the
woman's son came with a gun and
killed the fox.

NEVER LIE TO AN ELEPHANT.
The intelligen Animals Contract the
had Habits of Their In
s~tructOrs,

IL Is always interesting to know
what the keeper of roc elephants or
show elephants has to say about his
charges. The writer recently asked
one keeper whether he liked them.
After reflection he answered that he
did when fresh to the work, for he'
had then to deal with elephants fresh
from their native haunts, says the Chi
cago American.
After the elephant is some time in
a show he picks up ugly tricks and
nasty ways, and takes short turns that
are not always honest or honorable.
He becomes a mean, low brute. He
very quickly learns, according to the
human standard, the difference be.
tween right and wrong. II placed un-
der people of low morality he molds
his notions on theirs, and can act a lie
as well as the worst of them.
An elephant ought to be caught
young and educated as a gentleman in
regard to truth and honor. He should
never be deceived, never unjustly pun
ished, treated with firmness, but a fair
amount of kindness, and pains should
be taken to develop his love of appro-
baton, and to keep him sensitive,
which he naturally is, L blame.
An elephant learns the meaning of
words faster than any other animal.
Elephants can be shamed by words of
blame or reproach. Circus elephants
are wise enough to understand what
fools human beings are, and lose rev.
creme" for their keepers. Hence their
thickness, ingratitude and ugly turns.
One cannot, whether human or ele-
phantine, feel deeply grateful to a fool.
His favor humiliates. The elephants
show the effects of bad company lust
as We ourselves might. No creature
resembles a dishonest attorney so
much as an elephant debased by un-
conscientious keepers.
Care should be taken not to let
young elephants go with old stagers OF
their species who have been perverted
by a sad experience of human nature.
They seem to find delight in urging on
the Juveniles to play nasty tricks. and
in impressing on them that nothing
good should be expected of their mas
tiers, but to be careful not to provoke
the latter to extreme severity.
