FI1ARiA IS a NEW DISEASE.
Responsible for the Death Of Msny
American Soldiers.

american Soldiers.
Capt. Charles Kieeffer, a United
States army surgeon, says the Phil
ippines are infested with mosquitoes
more Troublesome and dangerous from
q medical point Of view than those
that swarm in the Jersey swamps. A
strange malady known as filaria is
traced directly to them, and is COM
mon among the American soldiers
CHARTERED on the islands, Soldiers
contract the disease by drinking
water from .s.agnant POOLS in which
the mosquitoes have laid their eggs.

pears in. the form Of a worm in the
victims thorax. This develops into
elephantiasis, which causes the pa
tient terrible PANS, accompanied by
constant cough. The sufferer Is
worst at night, and the patient be-.
comes prey to insomnia.
The only remedy lies in an opera
ton, which in itself is dangerous and
rarely successful. II the worm which
is female, is injured and dies
through the operation. its poison gets
into the blood. the disease is increased
a thousandfold and the chances Of re-
covery are small.

Lesson in Chaplain MIburn's Life.
It was Of the late William II. Mil
burn, the blind preacher chaplain
of the house, and afterward of the
Senate, that William R. Morrison
once said: "Mr. Mifburn is q man
who fears God, hates the devil and
votes the straight ticket" Mr.. NIL

do in the face of hardships. He was
totally blind before becoming of age,
but became a Methodist clergyman,
successful lecturer and author, keep
ing at his work until few months
before his death at the age of eighty.

every day and he kept fully posted on

No author of the day has been less
photographed than Joseph Conrad,
who has just published book Of sea
stories His publishers, when his
book was about to come out, having
failed to persuade him to face the
camera for new picture, hunted high
and low throughout England and
America for sop,e sort of likeness.
Finally, in the files of an old English

Who Was Demosthenes7

Il was in Athens that the great
orator Demosthenes was born. Al.
though he had many impediments to
overcome, he worked on untiringly, uI-
til finally he became not only the first
orator Of Greece, but of all antiquity.
He remedied stammer in his speech
by practicing with pebbles In his
mouth. On the death of Alexander
he gave his services as an orator to
the eonfederated Greeks, and in the
end made way with himself by using
poison to avoid falling into the hands
OF Ant.pater.

Mrs. Morgan Not Fashionable.

Mrs. j. Pierpont Morgan was the
cynosure of all eyes, at the recent
election of the Colonial Danes at New
York. Contrary to the expectations
of those who did not know her it was
found that she dresses simply and
her cloth gown looked rusty. Her
black hat was small and shapeless
and thick veil covered her face. The

was embraced in the wcr1 "frumpy.'

SOLD HIS SHOOTING BOOTS.
Man Fooled His Wife on the Price,
But the Result Was Sad.

But the Result Was Sad.
Banks knew very well that he could
not afford to pay $40 for pair OF
shooting boots, but he reasoned with
himself, after the sophistical manner
of those who knew the joys 81 ex-
travagance, that his twice-a-year trip
to his Long Island club for two days
Of duck shooting was really the only
luxury he allowed himself; and MS
economies in other directions desery-
ed reward.
So Banks bought the boots, and
told his wife nice little story about
a friend who had struck bargain In
boots and had let him have pair
t'for practically nothing" The boots
were not worth much anyhow, he
!. carelessly explained, and congratulate
ed himself on having safely and
sagaciosls1y handled "a delicate. situa.
ton. $500.
When Banks came back from his
next shooting trip he was tired and
sleepy, and threw his new boots, all
muddy as they were, into closet, to
be cleaned when he should have more
energy
sAnd what do you think happened
to those boots!" he said two days
later to q group of sympatheti:
friends on change. "A junk peddler
came around the next Gay and my
wife sold him my $50 boots for fifty
cents. She knew they were of no
special value, as had said so, and
thought she'd done we'll to get fifty
cents for them
