I This is a new disease: or, rather,
newly discovered disease, which has
been considerably discussed Of late in
the medical world. It is an interest,"
ing affection, and it's discovery has
served to clear up many puzzling
points In relation to typhoid fever, says
Youths Companion. Originally ty-
plus and typhoid fever were thought
to be identical, but early in the last
century close observers detected GER
tain differences in the symptoms which
served to mark two groups Of cases,
and soon they found that they really
had to do with two distinct Diseases
typhus and typhoid fevers. Now, near
ly 100 years later, they find that there
are two typhus fevers, but the dis
tinction in this case lies less in differ
ences In the symptoms than in the
fact that the microbes associated with
the two diseases differ. ~
The newly differentiated disease is
called paratyphoid fever, and the germ
associated with it, the paratyphoid ba-
cillus. Although typhoid fever occurs
as a rule but once in the same person,
one attack comforting an immunity
which lasts for the rest of life, there
nave seemed to be so many exceptions
That some authorities have even doubted
the existence Of any rule, and have as
serted that second attacks of the dis
ease are common. But these excep-
tons are easily explained now for it
Is likely that az attack of typhoid -fe-
yer will not protect against a subse-
quent exposure to paratyphoid infec-
ton, and vice versa.
The symptoms differ but little from
those of typhoid fever, and often it is
possible to make an absolute diagnosis
only by means of a blood test. The
malady begins with the usual loss of
appetite, headache and muscle-ache.
and out-of-sorts feelings common to
all beginning fevers. The fever comes
and goes, being higher in the evening.
put Is not so regular in it's up-and-
down movements as in true typhoid.
The tongue is coated, some gurgling is
heard In the bowels when pressure is
made In the right groin, and there
is always some diarrhoea. The spleen
Is enlarged, and there is often an erup-
ton like that of typhoid fever. There
may be sore throat at the start, and q
cough is common.
The disease lasts about three weeks.
and there may be relapses, as in true
typhoid. 1t is apparently less danger
GUS than typhoid, the mortality being
only between three and four per cent,
instead OF between Is and 20. The
treatment is practically the same in
both disorders, consisting chiefly in
good nursing and in combating posi-
BILE complications.

WHY THE BICYCLE PERSISTS
It Is the Poor Mans Automobile and
Is Used for Various
Purposes.

Prophets are the great spectators
in futures" and in that sort of gam
bling the "bears," who see calamities
ahead, are usually losers. Nothing
has been the subject of more pessimis-
tic forebodings during the last few
years than the bicycle, yet this spring
the wheel comes out again, almost as
numerous and as popular as ever, says
Youths Companion of recent date.
Automobiles, it is true, have greatly
Increased in numbers, and they have
been looked upon as the supplanter
and successor of the bicycle. Amer
leans like to travel FAST" said a man,
recently, "but they don't want to work
for it. That is why the automobile ap-
peals to them" There is some truth
in the remark, but the fact remains
that most of us must work for it"
The bicycle is the pool mans auto
mobile, and a good one. It does not
bother him about starting or stopping,
does not often get out of repair, re-
quires no outlay for fuel; yet it makes
him master of a wider circle of coun-
try than he could possibly command
without it, and pays him handsome
dividends in health and strength for
every pound Of energy he spends in
propelling it.
The time of the "scorcher" and the
century run" is past, and the era OF
sensible wheeling has come in. Those
who own and buy bicycles now are
those who use their wheels for exer-
else, for recreation and as practical
vehicles. They would cling to their
hobby tenaciously even if their own
experience had not been reinforced by
medical approval, which is now over
whelmingly with them. The bicyclists
for years to come will continue to
outnumber, as they have in the past,
the devotees of every other pastime

MEDICAL JUDGMENT OF JAPS
Plenty Of Water and Unlimited Fresh
Air Depended Upon for
Strength.

The Japanese have taught Europeans
and Americans lesson and quenched
in some degree the conceit of the eau
casian in his superior capacity to do
all things. Even in the matter of
diet, our long cherished theory that
the energy and vitality of the white
man is largely due to the amount of
animal food consumed, must undergo
revision, says the Medical Record.
The Japanese are allowed to be
among the very strongest people on
the earth. They are strong mentally
and physically, and yet practically they
eat no meat at all. The diet which
enables them to develop such hardy
frames and such well-balanced and
keen brains, consists almost wholly of
rice, steamed or boiled, while the bet
ter-to-do add to this Spartan fare fish,
eggs, vegetables and fruit. For bev-
erages they use weak tea without sugar
or milk, and pure water, alcoholic
stimulants being but rarely INDUCED
in. Water is imbibed in what we
should consider prodigious quantities
Ito an Englishman, indeed, the drink
ing of so much water would be re-
garded as madness. The average jap
anese individual swallows about GAL
lon daily in divided doses.
The Japanese recognize the benefl-
cial effect of flushing the system
through the medium of the kidneys,
and they cleanse the exterior of their
bodies to an extent undreamed of in
Europe or America.
Another - and perhaps this is the
usage on which the Japanese lay the
greatest stress-is that deep, habitual
forcible inhalation of fresh air is an
essential for the acquisition of
strength, and this method is sedulous-
ly practiced until it becomes a part of
their nature.
The Japanese have proved that a
frugal manner of living is consistent
with great bodily strength-indeed, is
perhaps more SO than the meat diet
Of the white man. AS to the water
drinking habit, which is so distinctive
a custom with them, it is probably an
aid to keeping the system free from
blood impurities, and might be fol-
lowed with advantage y in European
countries, to far greater extent than
is at present the case. Hydropathy
and exercise seem to be the sheet an
chors of the Japanese training regi-
men, and, judging from results, have
been eminently satisfactory.

Fraulein Krupp, Richest Girl in Esseu,
Germany, Guarded by
Detectives.

It is one of the grim ironies of fate that
a young girl, barely of age, should be
in a sense responsible for the bloodshed
in the struggle between Russia and ia
pan, owing to the fact that she supplied
both powers with practically all their
guns. The young woman In question Is
Miss Krupp, who, on the death Of her
father, became chief proprietor of the
world-famous Krupp works at Essen,
and likewise became the wealthiest
woman in the world.
The heiress seems to have inherited
some of the family capacity for in
dustrial organization, for she takes the
greatest pride and delight in supervising
the work of the different departments,
and declares that at some future time
she will have gained sufficient experience
to take an active part in the direction of
affairs.
Meanwhile, her interference in busi-
ness matters is limited to. passive super
vision, but she takes more active part
in controlling the management of the
numerous auxiliary departments of the
dren of her employees and the hospitals
for the care of the sick receive regular
visits from her, and she has sharp eye
for defects Of all kinds.
Knowing human nature, 1t is hardly
surprising to find that Miss Kupp's
employees do not appreciate her good
qualities and charitable ways. Living in
Miss Kupp's houses, sending their chill
dren to her schools, applying to her hos
pitfalls when they or their families are
sick, attending her churches, drinking
beer in her restaurants, buying meat
from her slaughter houses, -four from her
mills, bread from her bakeries and hats
and clothes from her stores makes them
feel that they are her serfs, and not free
born laborers.
Miss Krupp's charitable disposition
has become known to the general public
in Germany, with the result that she
receives, on an average, over 200 purely
begging letters q day, and over $50 let
tiers daily entreating her to grant some
position in the works to some worthy
young man.
She also has to undergo some of the in
conveniences which are generally con-
funded to emperors and kings. Her vast
wealth and the ownership of an entire
city make her likely target for an
archists' bullets, and her friends are in
constant terror Of assassination. For
this reason her guardians have insisted
on her being continually guarded by a
special corps of detectives, who are al
| ways in her vicinity.

Vegetable Tonic ;

Many delicate and nervous people
who cannot digest iron tonic should
eat spinach, which contains more iron

are also an excellent nervine. Car

Lord Lyveden and his party of Eng
lish tourists were recently entertained
in New York. Lord Lyveden, who has
travelled all over the world, narrated at
dinner some of his adventures. At one
point, relates the Tribune, he said:

ligent and interesting missionary. He

how one of these natives had stumped

gality, you will possess much store of
honestly acquired riches
"The native was still unconvinced.

his next question.
They, said the missionary, will
enable you to cease from work at last,
and to spend the rest of your days in
well-earned rest

grcSS. although they have very strong
backing. The sum of $24,000,00O was

according to population. 1t is pointed
out that during the past fourteen years
there has been balance of trade in
favor of farm products of S4SO6,OOO,-

haul their products over dirt roads than
it does for the railroads to carry the pro

should receive some consideration.
