South American catacombs.

The cemeteries prevalent Though
out South and Central America con-
sist of wall eight to ten feet thick,
honeycombed with inches for the re-
ception of collins. and surrounding a
plot of land which is never used for
burial purposes and is usually in a
neglected condition. The cemetery
is run by the municipal authorities
and the inches are rented. The pay
ment required upon the sealing of one
of these holes in the wall insure an
undisturbed resting place from that
time. according to the particular GUS
tom of the locality, then an annual
rental must be paid for a period of
twenty-five years, at the end Of which
time the tenant gets a title in perpet-
uity. But how few ever find a last
resting place in one of these inches Is
shown by the fact that, despite the
tremendous increase in population
since II was built two or three centur-
les ago. the cemetery at Havana has
never been enlarged, and there are al
ways plenty Of vacancies. Upon de-
fault of payment Of the rental. the

Or. Dyer Claims to Have Made Twelve
lepcrs Well


In lecture DR.. Isadcre Dyer, ply
sician Of the Lepers Home in Louisa
ma, and probably the most distinguish
ed expert on this disease in this coun-
try, after saying that there were
100000 lepers in existence, or one to
every 900 living persons, announced
that in the last two years the problem
of curing this dread disease had been
solved.
In 10 years, DR.. Dyer said that he
and his assistants had succeeded in re-
moving every trace OF the disease in
~ lepers. In the past two years, since
the latter part of 1902, every case at
the Louisiana Leper Home, except
those in the last stages of the disease,
had been improved materially, and In
three cases the lepers are almost we'll,
and IL will be possible TO discharge
them within comparatively short
time.
Before the recent Berlin conference
on leprosy, which DR.. Dyer attended,
there had been, he said, few cases of
the disease cured. That there were
not more cures was due to the fact that
the disease was not treated.
Treatment means a perseverance for
years, not for weeks or months. Dir.
Dyer expressed confidence that II the
treatment of leprosy was begun early
enough and maintained long enough,
that disease could be cured as easily as
any other. In another decade, he
said, 1t will be universally recognized
that leprosy is as durable as typhoid or
yellow fever.

OF all the orchard trees, the peach
stands in greatest need of regular and
severe pruning. If left unpruned, the
trees make a good growth while
young and produce q few crops of
fruit. Each year. however, the fruit
is farther removed from the trunk
of the tree, the wood becomes weak
er, the twigs near the body of the
tree die, leaving long, struggling,
weak limbs which bear fruit only
at their very extremities, are liable
to break when heavily loaded. and do
not shade and protect the trunk of the
tree. The gathering of the fruit from
these high limbs is expensive and the
fruit itself is of inferior quality.
The object in pruning is to keep
the tree low, compact in form, with
new fruiting wood as near the trunk
of the tree as possible.
Under normal conditions when
peach trees have passed the winter
safely, and promise to produce crop
of fruit, they should be pruned each
winter by cutting back the main
limbs, so as to leave one-half or two
thirds Of the new growth.
When the fruit buds have been win
tor killed. the opportunity may be
seized to cut back the main limbs
more severely. thus securing more
compact trees. and avoiding the for

which the trees have Q tendency to
form II they are mot cut back.
