Cleanliness and cheerfulness, sun

four years been a leper and for q year

parently on the road to the grave. has
been discharged cleansed Of the dis
ease. His skin has again become white
and his sores have healed. Several
other inmates are said to be almost
ready for discharge. and others i'm
proving. The cure is attributed not to
any new medicine or surgical work,
but to the four elements Of wholesome
living, cleanliness, cheerfulness, sun
shine and air. 1t is said to be the first
recorded scientific cure. There are
about 500 lepers in Louisiana, less than
30 OF whom were sheltered at the re-
treat. Since the cure. however, 300
acres Of the Indian Head plantation
have been bought, and a broad attempt
will be made to stamp out the dis
ease. Applications have been received
from other Southern States and from
foreign countries for admission to the
home.

Mr.. Brockway told his hearers that he

in which is suggested the establish
ment Of three kinds Of prisons-one a
house Of reception for common offend
ers; one to be known as the house of
Improvement; and the third, remote
from the habitations Of men. for incor-
rigibles. How strange 1t is," said Mr..
Brockway, that such civic wisdom az
this should have been allowed to sleep
so long in classic archives. and even
now should be seldom applied"

Wherever the citizens of civilized
country may go, the protecting power
of the government goes with them. In
a real sense the British, the German,
the French flag. to say nothing OF the
others, flies over the British, the Ger
man or the French citizen, no matter
how far from home he may be. and
all the power Of the government, civil
and military, 10 at his call in case OF
need. Chinese outlaws few years
ago, murdered one or two German
missionaries. Warships were at once
sent to the East to insist on the pun
ishment of the murderers and to de-
mand such an indemnity from China
that its officers would consider 1t wise
to show greater respect for Germans
In the future. Many little wars have
been fought by the British to impress
on semisavage tribes the fact that
they may not with impunity maltreat
any Briton. Only recently a British

lection Of all Englishmen and Ameri-
cans living in his domains. Every for
eigner in a strange land is figurative-
ly wrapped in the flag Of his own
country. and assault upon him is as
sault on that flag. OF course every
man Is amenable to the laws Of the
country in which he may be living,
but those laws must be administered
justly. The ideal before the depart
ment of foreign relations in each coun-
try is that illustrated in the case Of
st. Paul when he asked the centurion
who was preparing to scourge him,
'Is it lawful for you to scourge .
man that Is a Roman. and uncon-
demned?" When a man says that he
is an American, an Englishman. a
Frenchman, a German. an Italian. or
a citizen Of any other country, 1t is
implied that the simple announcement
is enough to induce the officers Of
whatever country to see that nothing
unlawful Is done to him.

With rapture stirred,
You might let slip
