LEPER Is CURED.

The news of the first cure of leprosy
by medical science, which took place a
short time ago in the Louisiana Lepers'
home, an institution in charge of the
Sisters of Charity, has naturally
aroused a wide interest. The leper
cured was a Creole boy of Is, and the
physician through whom the cure was
effected, DIR. Isadore Dyer of New Or
leans, has given his life to the study
of leprosy and the cure of the unfortu-
mates afflicted with the plague.
The following detailed account of the
remarkable event, written for the Cath
olic Columbian by Father Mulhane of
Mount Vernon, O., who is himself a
deep and interested student of condi-
tions among the lepers, will prove of
interest to many readers:
When Louis Sinet was committed to
the home in October, 1902, his body was
the color of coffee-rather, the light
brown hue of the cafe an lait' He was
covered from head to foot with Ieprous
ulcers; his face was blotched and puck
cred up with open sores; he had no eye
broWs and lashes, and he had the eX-
preston of a satyr. The mouth was
drawn down sidewise across his face
When he smiled-so light-hearted boy
was he that even in the depth of his
misery he could smile-the contortion
of his face was most horrible.
Now he is handsome to look at His
face is clear, with a slight touch of
color in the cheeks, a most unusual
thing in a Creole. The skin is as tender
as that of a baby, having virtually
been made over There is a new growth
of hair and lashes on his once bald and
unshaded eyes, and the eye, which was
formerly dull, bleared and CLASSY, with
out expression, is clear. and shadows all
the emotions of his mind
Ten other patients a the Louisiana
Lepers' home are on a fair way TO re-
coVery. In every case at the home
most wonderful Improvement has been
made.
Speaking in detail of the treatment
by which Sinet was cured, DR.. Dyer
said:
Absolute cleanliness, pure food and
regularity of living are enforced. The
virtue of the treatment is that it re-
enfOTces the tissues that have been
eaten away by the disease and en-
ables the system to work them off. It
is simply the enlistment of science to
aid nature in throwing off the encroach-
ment of disease and to rebuild the de-
stroyed tissues, Constant bathing Is a
great feature to enable the skin to
throw off all impurities at once.
Certain ointments are used in small
quantities. and an extremely, limited
quantity of drugs is also. given the pa
tent Strychnine has been given reg
ularly in one to twenty grain doses,
and chaulmoogra in gradually increas-
ing doses, from five to fifty drops.
For both males and females, chaul-
moogra oil and strychnine in gradual
~ increasing doses have been given, the
treatment varying altogether with the

The RelittIer.

Beware of people who are constantly
belittling others, finding flaws and de-
fectS in their characters, or slyly insin
uating that they are not quite what
they ought to be. Such persons are
dangerous, and not to be trusted. A
disparaging mind is limited, rutty,
unhealthy mind. 1t can neither see
nor acknowledge good in others. 1t is
a jealous mind. 1t is positively painful
to 1t to hear others spoken well of,
praised, or commended for any virtue
or good point. If it cannot deny the
existence Of the alleged good, it will
seek to minimize it by q malicious If"
or but" or try in some other way to
throw a doubt on the character of the
person praised.
A large, healthy, normal mind will
see the good in another much more
quickly than the evil, but a narrow,
belittling mind has an eye only for
faults-for the unlovely and the
crooked. The clean, the beautiful, the
true and the magnanimous are too
large for its vision. 1t delights in
tearing down or destroying, but it is
incapable of upbuilding.
Whenever you hear a person trying
to belittle another discard him from
your list of friends unless you can
help him to remedy his fault. Do not
fiatter yourself that those who tell
You of the failings of other people, and
criticise and hold them up to ridicule,
will not treat you in the same way
when an opportunity presents itself.
Such people are incapable of true
friendship, for true friendship helps,
instead of hinders; it never exposes
the weak point in a friends character,
or suffers any one to speak i'll of him.
One of the finest fruits of culture is
the power to see the man or woman
whom God made in his own image, and
not the one who is SCARED by faults
and deficiencies. It is only the gener-
Gus, loving soul who ever attains to this
degree of culture. 1t is only the broad.
charitable, magnanimous, great hearted
man or woman who is blind to the de-
fects of others, and enlarges their good
qualities.
An opportunity of associating with
people who see the best instead of the
worst in us is worth far far more to
us than an opportunity to make money.
1t increases a ihundred-fold our power
to develop noble characters.
We are all of us constantly, but I'M
consciously, molding others by our
thoughts about them. The qualities
you see in your friend and those with
whom you come in contact you tend to
enlarge. If you see only the little.
mean, contemplate side of people, YOU
cannot help them out of their faults,
for you only intensity and fix them; but
if you see the good, the noble, the as
piring traits in them. you will help to
develop these qualities until they crowd
out the base, unworthy ones.
Everywhere, the world over this I'M
conscious interchange of influence is at
work, hindering or helping according
to its nature.-Catholic Columbian.

HOW THEY SIGNAL.

Ever watch how different women
signal to have the car stopped?" asked
the conductor. Il don't believe any two
women do the same thing just the same
way. There's the woman who begins
to fidget about four blocks before her
corner and keeps us guessing as to
where she wants to get off. And then
there's the woman who begs US every
time we go through the car not to carry
her past her corner. One woman tries
to be dignified and mods her head so
slightly thatsunless you're close or look
ing straight at her you won't catch the
signal at all. Another woman stands
up, flourishes her umbrella, and then
sits down again. Some women work
their way to the door a full block before
we reach their corner, and others wait
till the car stops and then fall over
themselves and everybody else to get
out.
"One woman this morning waved her
handbag at me and yelled, Hi, you, /
want to get off here!' Another woman
raised one finger. and I could see her
lips moving. She was no doubt naming
the street, but I could not hear that
whispered, so took it for granted that
she wanted to get off at the next cor
ner. But she didn't; she wanted three
blocks beyond. But the woman who
gets me is the one who jerks my sleeve
as l pass and looks up beseechingly as
if she thought was just there to carry
her Sast.
Some women-I call 'em perfect Ia
dies-say, The next7corner, please and
then all the cheap women in the car
sneer at them, as if they lowered them
selves by saying please to a cheap
skate conductor Leader.

THE CHILDREN.

The children live in the heaven all day.
And if we watch them as they plays
Perhaps we may some hint surprise
ar secret dealings with the skies.
They dance, they run, they leap, they
shout,
They fling the torch of joy about;
The prodigals of golden mirth,
they lavish laughter on the earth.
Beneath his shTining carriage hood,
The baby, small benignant Buddh-
T-ndoubted Deity awhile
Regards us with mysterious smile.
Their fancy touches common things,
The very dust takes fairy wings;
The earth is all box of toys
For lucky little girls and boys.
They share our table, use our chairs,
with quaint proprietary airs.
The world is theirs; If we behave,
They'll give US part of what we gave.
And then in little snowy gown
The tiny tired folks lie down,
And piping voices, drowsed with sleep.
Chirp softly from the pillows deep.
The children sleep in heaven all night,
They meet the morning with delight,
And scamper out upon their way
TO love and live in heaven all day.

Why Men Need Wives,

1t is not to sweep the house and
make, the beds and darn the socks and
cook the meals, chiefly, that man
wants a wife. If this is all he wants,
hired servants can do it cheaper than
a wife. If this is all, when a young
man calls to see a lady, send him into
the pantry to taste the bread and
cakes she has made; send him to in
spect the needlework and bed-making,
or put a broom into her hands and
send him to witness it's use. Such
things are important and the wise
young man will quietly look after
them But what the true man most
wants of wife is her companionship,
sympathy and love. The way of life
has made dreary places in it and man
needs a companion to go with him. A
man is sometimes overtaken with fall
ure and defeat; trials and temptation
beset him, and he needs one TO stand
nv him and sympathize. He has some
stern battle to fight with poverty, with
enemies and with sin. and he needs a
woman that. while he put his arm
around her and feels that he has some
thing to fight for, will help him fight;
who will put her lips to his ear and
whisper words of counsel and her hand
To his heart and impart new inspira-
tions. All through life-through storm
and through sunshine, conflict and vicl
tory: adverse and favorable and favor
able winds-man needs a woman's love.
The heart yearns for it. A sisters and
q raether's love will hardly supply the
need. Yet. many seek for nothing
further than success in housework.
Justly enough, half of these get moth
ing more. The other half, surprised
above measure, obtain more than
sought. Their wives surprise them by
bringing a nobler idea of marriage
and disclosing a treasury of courage,
svrnuathy and love

SUGGESTING FALSE IDEALS.

parents and friends that he may be-

There is nothing which stunts the

satisfied with downright hard work.
which, after all, is the great secret of
achievement.
1t is cruel to suggest false ideals,
hopeless attachments. improbable sue
cess to Il boy or a girl. 1t is cruel to
make either chafe under the discipline
and drill which alone can make
achievement possible.
Many youth has been handicapped
in his struggle to get on, and kept from
the goal ne might have reached, by
those who have made him dissatisfied
with the ordinary routine of his daily
work, by suggesting that his talents
and his genius would enable him to
win without drudgery

GROWING OLD.

The tallest lilies droop at eventide,
The sweetest roses fall from off the
stem;
The rarest thing on earth cannot abide,
And we are passing, too, away like
them:
We're growing old.
We had our dreams, those rosy dreams
of youth:
They faded. and, twas well. This
after-time
Hath brought US fuller hopes; and yet,
forsooth,
We drop tear now in this later time
To think we're old.
We smile at those poor fancies of the
A saddened smile, almost akin to
pain:
Those high desires, those purposes so
vast,
All, our poor years! They cannot
come again!
We're growing old.
Old? Well, the heavens are old; this
earth is too:
Old wine is best, maturist fruit most
sweet;
Much have we lost, more gained, al
though it's true
We tread life's way with most uncer-
tain feet:
We're growing old.
We move along and scatter, as we pace,
Soft graces, fonder hopes on every
hand;
At last, with gray-streaked hair and
hollow face,
We step across the bound'ry of the
land
Where none are old.

Punctuality is the courtesy of kings.

Ter. In ordinary life there is no COM
moner discourtesy than TO write in an
lllegible handwriting. 1t wastes much
valuable time, often gives great annoy

plumbers and misrepresentation. We
should often like to write to those at
whose hands we suffer, like Bishop Bar
rington did, and beg them to do as his
French correspondent did. to write to
us little in their own penmanship, if
they like, but to send a copy for prac-
teal purposes by an amanuensis also.
For handwriting above all things
should be no doubt that a letter is

SHINE, and a request granted with cour-
tesy, as has been truly said, is. "a men,
DRY glided with light" For, in the
words Of St Francis, Courtesy is one
of the qualities of God, and courtesy is
charity's own sister, Furnishing hate,
and keeping love alight."
1t is unfortunate how often kind
hearts lie incrusted in coarse husks.
Endless stories of this character recur
in DR.. Johnsons life. We doubt wheth-
er the poor woman that he took up in
his coach was at all grateful for the
gift, when he roughly elected her be-
cause she would jar upon his nerves
by talking baby nonsense"
Honesty is a fine sword, but nobody
wishes their neighbor to walk with
drawn sword in the public thorough
fare" A wholesome equilibrium in life
is the golden mean to obtain, and
even our hobbies must remain our serv-
ants, How wearisome is the gram
marian, the phrenologist, the political
or religious fanatic, or, indeed, any
mortal whose balance is lost by the ex-
aggeration of a single topic" Such
man is both bore and a fool because
he has lost all sense of what is due to
others or of courteous bearing. Intel
lectually he plants his feet in a pig
trough and wallows.
We have all come across incidents Of
this kind, cases of deep and lasting an
noyance, which would have been rem
dered impossible if true courtesy had
been the guiding principle of those in
volved. AS a modern writer has said:
Let us stand sometimes in other folks
shoes, and avoid pin pricks, even to our
dearest"
