Just why this disease should seem
to commit greater ravages among the

first the theory was that 1t was due
to their changed mode Of existence:
that the transition from a savage to
civilized life made them peculiarly
susceptible. / am inclined to think
that there Is but little basis for this

NOT TRUSTED TO PRAY.
And That Is Why the Colonel Asked
Him Instead to Read the
Scriptures.

During the civil war there lived In
Readville, Me-, a certain Col. Bachel-
dor, whose hospitable home was the
stopping place for all Methodist
preachers who came that way. The
colonel was too old to enter the serv-
ice but his loyalty was of the stsnch-
est kind.
Upon one occasion, when the union
cause looked quite dark, Camp Meet
ing John Allen came to stay all
night at Bachelors house. Camp
Meeting John was, like the colonel,
a man whose heart was for the union.
Later in the day along came an
other Methodist preacher, whose poll
tics was Of decidedly "copperhead"
quality. He, too, was to be the
colonel's guest for the night.
When the time came for retiring
Col: Bacheldor brought out the Bible.
gave It to the last conner, and said:
"You will read, SIR, and Brother Al
len will otrer prayer" And this pro-
gramme was carried out satisfactorily.
The next morning the colonel met
ex-Gov. Morrill, on the street, and,
hailing him, said: We'll, governor,
! had a couple Of Methodist preach
ers at my house last night; one was
Camp Meeting John Allen, a mighty
good. loyal union man; and another,
Mr.. =, rank 'copperhead.' But
when time came for family prayers at
night asked him to read the Bible
and Mr.. Allen to offer prayer. / knew
he couldn't pervert the Scriptures, but
wouldn't trust the devil to pray

ON VARIETY STAGE.
Jacques Lebandy's Former Companion
Singing in Berlin Eheater.

Singing in Berlin Ekeater.
| Madame de Dion, the companion of
Jacques Lebaudy, whom he for some
time designated Empress of the Sahara,
has been displaying her accomplish
ments upon the variety stage in Berlin
with more or less success. The story
told by the German press agents is
that she and Labaudy quarreled be-
cause she refused to make her entrance
into the Sahara towns on the back of
the camel.
Notwithstanding this all the bill
boards in Berlin heralded her coming
with highly colored pictures Of lady
riding upon a dromedary, clad in cos
tune of green leaves, which, the ir-
reverent German photographers point
out, is much more suitable to the eli
mate of the Sahara than to that of
northern Germany. s-r,7-s
Toward the end of the performance

stage toilet of black jet trimmed with
lunches of vlolets. She mods in friend
ly but rather careless style to the au-
dience and sings two songs, the first
being a sentimental one, and the other
Of decidedly opposite character.
Her performance stirs up no great
excitement in the audience. She usu-
ally receives a polite but not very en-
thusiastic allowance of applause from
the spectators. Then she curtsies
slightly and, with a gracious and con-
descending smile, vanishes from the
stage.
The German newspapers, SO far from
finding anything romantic about her,
cruelty describe her as a commonplace,
second grade variety actress.

the length of time in which he has
