style and taste. His guests 'congre-
gated. The dinner table showed

excellent soup.
"IIow do YOU like the soup" ask

"yery good, indeed answered

unpleasant, but peculiar"
"AIl ailigators have" replied
Buckland, 1.-THE cayman peculiarly

pale. Half dozen started up from
the table. Two or three of them
ran out Of the room and yomited,
and only those who had stout stom-
achs remained to the close of an ex-

"See what Imagination is said

Washington. July 20-Although IL Is less
than six months since Dr. Charles Ward
ell Stiles. chief OF the division Of zoology
OF the public health and marine service
officially announced the discovery or the
hookworm, or germ of laziness,' prep
arations are already under way in several
OF the Southern states 10 utilize the dls-
coVery in combating the disease.
The state board or health OF North
Carolina through its secretary. pr'
Lewis. Of Raleigh, has taken the lead IN
the work, and IL is expected by scientists
In Washington that the health officials
of that state soon will make an impor-
tant announcement as the result OF the
experiments they are now conducting
For obvious reasons the experiments are
being carefully guarded from publicity by
the officials both In Washington and
North Carolina.
ravages Of the hookworm is caiied un-
cinariasis. Apparently IL is mainly con-
fined TO warm climates, for IL Is there
that the hookworm abounds. DR.. stiles
thinks IL quite probable that the ancient
Egyptians 300 years ago were acquainted
with the parasite. The disease appears
TO have attained it's most virulent form
among the Egyptians Of that period and
was much more damaging TO its victims
than IL Is now.
study OF conditions in the most widely
infected regions OF the South, especially
in Florida, appears to show that the para
site attacks children in the rural sections
at sdo,sI very early age Ih1ss W who 20 Sare
freely on the ground In summer time are
the special victims.
When the parasite thus gets lodsment
IL arrests the development of certain parts
Of the body and delays the age OF matu-
rity TO noticeable extent. When full
growth finally is attained the victim is
all through life idolent and shiftless. In
a severe case the face is bloated. the
shoulders droop the abdomen is enlarged
and the arms and legs are thin.
DR.. Stiles declares that nearly every
case OF the disease found during his trip
through the South was either living in a
sandy district or had lived In such a dis
trict few years before. Paved streets
and grass lawns do not favor the devel-
opment of the bookworm. The pest Is
more active I'm summer than in winter.
The symptoms begin TO increase I'm the
spring and decrease in the early winter.
/ One OF the most interesting features OF
DR.. Stiles observation is that uncinari-
asis occurs I'm both blondes and brunettes
and in both the white and negro races,
but IL is severe or at least more noticeable
in blondes than in brunettes and much
more severe as rule in the white than
in the negro.

COPENHAGEN April 21.-The gov
eminent is discouraging emigration to
America as it denudes the country of
its most useful inhabitants.
The estimated population of Denmark
is now 100000. Emigration from Den
mark has been heavy not only to the
United states but also to British COL
onies. The number of Danes arriving
in the United States for several years
past is as follows: 1883, 1852, 1889, S,699;
1890, 1866; 1891, 1869; 1892, 1883; 1898
STD 1894, $751; 1895, 4,244; 1896, 3,167;
1897, 2OS5; 1898 ,1,946; 1899, $3.50; 1900
1925; 1901 1855; 1902, $3.50.
The above figures total up to more
than eighty-five thousand immigrants
who have found their way to the United
States during the period from 1883 to
1903. During the same period many
have entered Canada and so far this
year more immigrants have arrived in
Canadian ports and in American ports
from Denmark than ever before.
