Spotted Fever in New Haven.
New Haven, Conn, March IL. -
Professor Addison Il. Verrill, curator
Of the Yale geological collection, in a
public statement, advanced the theory
that spotted fever" is probably con-
veyed by the bites of neas or similar
insects. Professor Verrill says:
1T seems very probable that the
spotted fever now prevalent in New
Haven is caused by a minute blood
parasite which may be conveyed to
healthy persons by the bites of infected
neas."

real to the gambling instinct which
is part of the Burmese character. A
man may be beggar one day and the
next, through lucky find at diving or
digging. may be rich for the rest of
his life. But pearl diving has its
perils, some of which may be gath
cred from the following passage:
They talk of ambergris and whales
and divers risks; of two recent deaths
from the swapping of the tube. In one
case the life-tender hauled hand-over-
hand, but not quick enough to save his
man, who came up dead and black in

do in huts, they cannot be healthy.
They are too congested. and while
they will live in the white mans

What Pleases a Man

Generally speaking, man likes to
he told he is handsome. whether he is
or not. He likes to be told he has small
feet. This is a tip for wives. There
is more virtue in a pair of tight shoes
in keeping man at home in the
evenings than in all the Ten Com
mandments. 1t pleases a man to be
asked for advice. You don't need to
take it. Most men have advice to give
away. and they are always willing to
bestow 1t on women gratis. 1t pleases
a man for woman to depend on him.
This is the reason why many foolish
girls could get two husbands apiece.
while strong-minded women remain
old maids.-Montreal Herald.

turkey is fine destroyer of the boil

The boil weevil gets busy in the

From urns gold centered. row on row,
The lily altar blown.

Beyond all range OF mortal art,
In winter thus to stir gleam
