LOVE is HELD A DISEASE.
Writer in London Lancet Contributes
to the Much Discussed
Subject.

Is love a disease? is the question
some Of the London papers have been
thrashing out more or less ~satisfaetor-
lily for some time. and now the Lancet
has gravely contributed to the discus
sion.
The medical weekly declares that the
idea of love being really a disease has
the sanction of venerable antiquity.
and apart from the Greek and Roman
classics. was aEo commonplace in the
seventeenth century.
A writer on medicine in the Lancet
goes on to quote from a number Of u
thorities from Galen to Horatius. and
concludes: 1.-The Dutch and Flemish
painters Of the latter half Of the same
century found IN love sickness q favor
tie subject, and some Of the paintings
OF women suffering from this disease
are accurate portrayals Of an anaemic
condition"

FUTURE MlKADo OF JAPAN.
Distinction Of Heir Presumptive to

Perhaps the most interesting small
boy in the world is little Prince Mic

and destined himself to be a mikado

Both his father and the mfkado. when
babies, had their heads shaved dailv
by their nurses.
Soon after the princes birth meas
ures were taken to eliminate the cal

surgical operation was performed. An
incision was made on the outer poInt
OF the baby's eyelids in 3 straight line
for the barest part of an inch. The
lashes were then drawn into shane ana
held firmly by a piece Of chemically
prepared sticking plaster.
The wound healed in less than q
week, and the effect now is that Prince
Miechi does not look his oriental birth.
The prince rides a Shetland pom

CAUSE OF REBELLION
MISSIONARY TELLS OF HERERos
UPRISING IN AFRICA.
defends Natives Against Charges Of
Murder and Massacre-Many
Persons Reported killed
Still Alive.

A German missionary In Southwest
Africa has written to the Berlin Reichs-
bote, defending the Hereros against the
charges Of m%assacreing women and
children and the indiscriminate slaugh-
ter Of men. He gives the names Of q
number Of women who had been report
ed killed, but who are all alive, although
the Hereros had opportunities to murder
them. Native Christians, the mission
airy adds, assisted a number of women
and children to reach the military sta
ions safely. One native, Eliphas, Of
fered his oxen to carry the women and
children into Okahandja, notwithstand-
ing the danger that the oxen might be
seized.
A missionary named Brockman went
on foot, with ONE and children, un-
harmed through the hostile Hereros to
Okahandia, and n German unmarried
woman, who fed to otjimbingue
through the warlike hOrdes, arrived UNI
harmed.
The missionary who wrote to the
Reiehsbote also related a case in which
three Germans took refuge in his house,
two Of whom were traders and had q
reputation for depressing natives, and
the third, named Martens, who a year
ago travelled through H~ereroland, seek
ing for a spot to establish a farm, who
gave the natives the impression Of be-
ing fair minded and who maintained
pleasant relations with them. Hostile
Hereros came to the missionary's house
and seized and shot the two traders, but
they spared Martens.
The missionary further asserted that
the Hereros rebelled partly through the
expressions of the traders, partly owing
to the ~cruelties inflicted on them and
partly on account Of the disregard OF
the Germans for the ~sacredness Of the
marital relations Of the natives. The
instruments of punishment used in
cluded r~hinoceros whips, rs strokes
from which leave a native, bleeding and
half dead.
the atrocities committed by Prince
Prosper Won Arenberg helped to incense
the natives. The fact was forgotten by
the Germans.
The mother Of Willy Cain, the native
killed by Prince Won Arenberg, was a
sister Of leading chiefs, and therefore
had African ideas Of princely rank.
Finally, the missionary asked what
German count or prince would leave his
sisters wrongs ~unavenged?"

DID o ADVICE.

A prominent Judge and young
lawyer we're taking a holiday iaunt
together, and having a very Jolly
time Of it. One day the younger
man said to his companion:
"Judge, I wish yon would tell
me what it is to which you attri-
butte your very unusual success in
the law
swell, I don't mind doing so;
but it must be on one condition,
and that is, that You will agree to
pay the rest of my travelling ex
penses on this trip"
To an ambitious young fellow
OF considerable inherited fortune
that was not much to do, and 81 he
agreed.
SIT is simply this" said the
Jndge;'I always make it my rule
to deny everything, and insist up
on proof.
His friend acknowledged the re-
mark with a simple ''thank yOu",
and nothing further was said about
the matter,
The Judge did not limit himself
in his wines aud other expenses,
and was running up a pretty bill.
When their stay at the hotel was
ended, and they went to the desk
for their account, the Judge re-
cieved his, aud passed it along to
the younger man with a twinkle
in bis eye.
"Why what does this meant"
he asked.
"Mean!" said the Judge, eat.
simply means that you agreed to
pay all my expenses on this trip,
and here's my bill.

BALKED EFFORT TO WALK ON
WATER.

Charles 81. Cartwell, writing in
the Chicago Tribune, repeats this
joke played on the socalled
prophet" Joseph Smith, ST., of
the Mormon Church:
"SOmetime in the the thirties
Smith and q party Of his followers
were PROSECUTING in Muskingum
County, Ohio. He appointed a
certain day when he would show
the people his wonderful powers,
and that he was a second Christ,
by walking on the waters of Mud
Creek. The water was always
muddy. A day or two before the
time set grandmother's brother
Robert and a couple of neighbor
boys we're accidentally attracted
to the MOrmOns working at the
creek, and, cOncealing themselves,
watched the MOFmOns put down
stakes and put planks on them
from bank to bank, the plank rest.
ing about six inches under water.
After the MOrmOns left the boys
went down and took out the CEN
ter plank, where the water was
about ten feet deep. The next
day "Balaam" Smith came down
to the creek, and, after a long ex-
hortatiOn, started across the creek.
He was all right and on top till he
came to the center, where his
powers seemed to leave him.
and, he, like MeGinty, went to
the bottom. This was the end of
M0rmonism In that old tried aud
true Presbyterian county"
