IN THE
UNITED STATES
SURGEON GENERAL WYMAN
SAYS THERE ARE 275 KNOWN
IEPERS ON THE MAINLAND.

The Washington Post of February 4
contains the following:
Senator Crane introduced bill yes
terday appropriating $25O,OOO for the es-
Enlistment of a leprosarium for the
segregation of lepers and to prevent
the spread of leprosy in the United
States. II is provided that the insti-
tuition shah be located on some aban-
doncd military reservation or other
suitable site owned by the United
States.
The House Committee on Interstate
Commerce yesterday considered two
bills with reference to care of lepers.
One provides for the establishment of
"A sanitarium in this country, to which
may be sent all lepers i'm the United
States, and another appropriates $780,,
900 to be used in Hawaii for the scien-
tifc study of the disease.
Delegate Kalanianaole explained
briefly the condition of lepers i'm the
Hawaiian Islands. He said there were
over 1000 persons suffering with the
disease there. Great care was exercised
to isolate them in the leper colony on
the Island of Molokai, and the terri
torial government spent 100000 in their
care in the last six years. The dimi-
mutton of the revenues of the islands,
owing to their absorption by the United
States, he said, amounted to 81 ,25O,000
annually, and for this reason the Fed
eral government was asked for an APP
preparation not to care for the lepeTs,
but to prosecute a scientific study of the
disease, with the view of finding some
remedy therefor
Surgeon General Wyman, of the Pub
lie Health and Marine Hospital Service
explained the need of the leprosarium
in this country. He said there were
known to be 275 persons afflicted with
the disease in the United States and
he estimated there We're 100 others.
They are scattered throughout the
States and Territories. He suggested
to the committee a site in the arid
region Of the Southwest.
The committee authorized favor
able report on both bills relating to the
care of lepers.

eeekeeper Had shrewd Scheme.

A visit to a Hamden Delaware coun-
ty, farm this summer disclosed a get
rich-quick scheme. The farmer had a
score of bee hives, from which he Sc
cured many pounds of honey during
the season. The reason he was more
successful than his neighbors was dis.
covered by newspaper man stopping
near by. The hive owner bought
many pounds of white sugar at the vii.
lage store at six cents a pound He
scattered the sugar about so that the
thrifty bees could pick it up ana
store 1t up in combs. The honey"
was disposed of at sixteen cents a
pound OF course. it did not have
the real favor but it was made quick.

profit.-Brooklyn Eagle.

IL Smacks Very Much as Being In
stigated by Mail order Houses.
I'VE hear considerable in these days
about the autocratc tendencies OF the
government" prominent farmer OF the
county is alleged to have said few days
ago, but this order OF the government to
call us who live on rural routes by num-
Der is certainly the limit. am Of the
opinion that every man who has a name
which he honors will resent this scheme
of calling US by number as they do at the
penal institutions of the state. | for one
resent it and believe my neighbors will
also reset it, If we are to be written to
as Number Sever" or Number Thir-
teen" as they are called at Jackson il is
only a step until we are nick named that
and if am to live in my community and
am to be entitled to the ordinary respect
of my neighbors want to be written to
and addressed by name and not by a
convict's number
This honest tiller Of the soil may at first
be considered as feeling too much of big
oat crop but what he is alleged to have
said will no doubt set the post office de-
partment to thinking, A mans name is a
part of his existence and whenever the
government begins to calla man by num-
Der and begins to dull the edge of his
pride OF ancestry and his cherished hope
10 hand that name down to his children
as one OF honor, it is taking rash step
away from the ideals Of good citizenship.
The age has become so commerciallzed
that this number system has been adopt
ed to save a limited number Of men in the
cities some expense and some pains in
writing the names which the possessors
take pride in seeing and in giving oppor-
tunity to every gold brick get rich fakir to
reach the rural routes in the direct man
ner he could not otherwise have. The
government has rule never to give the
address of one Of the patrons of the post
office to an outsider and there is no rea-
son why it should lay bare the rural
routes in this manner With the strenu-
Gus attempt of the commercialism of the
present time to make the aggregation
more potent than the Individual, the gov
eminent should be the last institution on
earth to adopt any rule which would have
such a tendency. No doubt the postal
authorities will hear from the independent
and fearless rural clientele who do not
propose to give up theirindiyiduality with
out an earnest protest.

Signor Garcia, is still alive, having
passed the century mark some months
ago When Jenny Lind first came to
him he sent her away, telling her not
to sing a note for three months, be-
caus her voice was overstrained. When
she came back at the appointed time
the maestro declared that he had
found a voice las pure as diamond
soft as a flower" Jenny Lind used to
say this remark amply repaid her for
the three months OF silence, during
whic', time she had lived on her

1t focuses in one brief. terrible. dramat-

A certain Massachusetts, doctor
who lived among the Berkshire hills
was very fond of hunting, and at
the same time he was very slow in
answering the calls of his patients.
One morning he was aroused by a
servant of one of his patients who
lived at a distance, and told to 60
and see him right away. The doc
tor began to prepare, but was, as
usual, very slow. After he went out
to the buggy he turned to go back
into the house. He thought he
would be able to do some hunting
on the way after he had seen the
case. Reaching the door he turned
and asked the nervous servant {:
DO YOU think had better take my
gun along?' "Gun? No. The man
will be dead enough at this rate be-
fore you get there"
