Frequency of Tuberculosis.

From the Massachusetts Medical
Journal we abstract the following: At
the second annual American Congress
on tuberculosis held in New York in
1902, DR.. Pryor stated that $4,000 per-
sons die annually in the State of New
York Of this disease. One-sixth of all
the deaths in the world are due to this
one disease. Statistics show that in
France 100000 die every year of this
disease; in Germany, 10000; in the
United States, 100000; in Paris, H.
900; in London, 10000; New York
City, 5000.
Of deaths between the ages of fif-
teen and forty, tuberculosis claims one
third; between fifteen and thirty-five,
one-half. The mortality from tubercu-
losis alone exceeds that of war, plague,
cholera, famine, yellow fever and
smallpox.

ne Quiet way Best.
What's the use of worrying,
OF hurrying.
And scurrying,
Everybody flurrying
And breaking up his rest,
When everything is teaching us,
Preaching and beseeching us
To settle down and end the fuss.
For quiet ways are best?
The rain that trickles down in showers.
A blessing to the thirsty flowers
And gentle zephyrs gather up
Sweet fragrance from each brimming cup
There's ruin in the tempest's path,
There's ruin in a voice of wrath,
And they alone. are blest
Who early learn to dominate
Themselves. their violence abate.
And prove by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best.

When she was fourteen years old, Mrs,
Ida L. Brown had st. Vitus' dance.

features Of the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable SEN

These feelings would come on, last for
about ten minutes, and then go away,
several times day. Besides would
have palpitation Of the heart, and my
strength would get so low that could
hardly breathe. As time went ON these
spells kept coming oftener and growing
worse. The numbness would sometimes
extend over half my body"
"How did you get rid of them?"
1T seemed for long time as if I never
could get rid Of them. It was not until
about six years ago that I found a remedy
that had virtue enough in it to reach my

Tuberculosis Rightly CIassed,

The Health department of the city of
Philadelphia has decided that in future
tuberculosis shall be classed with
other diseases that are dangerous to
the public health, such as SMALLPOX.
diphtheria, scarlet fever, and other
contagious maladies. The law in
Pennsylvania and most other States of
the Union requires that every case of
contagious disease shall be reported
to the Health department. Hereafter
all cases Of tuberculosis must be so
reported by the attending physician
The purpose of this law is to enable
the Health department to take neces-
sary steps to prevent the extension of
this disease by disinfection of the
apartments which have been occupied
by the patient, and by instruction of
the patient and the patients friends
how infection from the disease NAV he
avoided.
This law is good one, and ought
to be enforced in every civilized COM
nunity.

Forrest refused wealth that he

became poor that he might make

"This may not be Christian liv-

the highest following of him who,

We are at the point where rich

about the vast injustice of present

injustice is greatly exaggerated

weakness of the man who raves
against modern wealth owners is
that be betrays himself he gives

A Dry Town Incident.

Last Saturday, while the crowd
was pressing against the express
office door waiting for it to be
opened SO that those who were ex-
pecting Jug or package of goods
might be accommodated, section
of the walk, which stands several
feet above the ground, gave way
under the heavy pressure Of in
creasing weight and dropped alto
gether, precipitating about thirty
or forty to the ground like the sud-
den drop of an elevator car. The
inference was that most of the men

jolly, and when they found them
selves in this predicament ran in
different directions under the Office
and outon the street, leaving the
booty Tor another day.
A bit of characteristic humor was
also heard during the holidays
when the question was asked, "How
are you getting along bootlegging?"
But with all this the citizens of
Union City would regret seriously
to return to the saloon system
and there is no doubt that the ma
jority against them is greater now
than it ever was.

granted that there is only one
kind of wealth, and that is money
and his very attacks on capital
only tend to propagate the per-
nicious idea that to be rich a man
must own lands and bonds and
stocks of manufactured goods;
and that the wealth of a nation is
in its material resources alone. l
deny this premise and | maintain,
as this Credit Mems Association
witnesses, that the best wealth Of
a nation is not its banks and fac
tories and railways and telegraph
lines-but- the men and women
whom it produces.
Wealth is moral force; and
our country with all its resources
would be poor tomorrow if it
were not for the fact that the
business men of this country are
men of moral integrity and high
ideals of life. AS Emerson said
once in substance q do not quote
his exact language): If you take
ont of any town the ten honest
merchants and bankers, and put
into their places ten rogues, you
will break the town. The insur-
ance rates will rise. The schools
will languish. The banks will tot
ter and the value Of dollars will
decline.
As for that the wealth Is moral,
the worth of money depends not
upon the amount of gold or silver
in the coin, but upon the kind Of
people among whom it circulates.
: A dollar is not worth as much
in a sandy desert nor in a Jail. 1t
is worth more in New York than
it is in the heart of Africa. And
we may say that every man who
paints a noble picture or writes
a helpful book or makes a new
discovery or invents a new device
AYE, every man that lives an
honorable, upright life himself
and helps other men do the same,
is contributing to the good credit
and therefore to the enduring
wealth of bis country These
men are the makers of wealth,
whether they get for themselves a
large share of it or not. And /
would rather be a maker than a
getter. A lawyer in the Klondike
told me once that the miners dug
the gold and the lawyers got it. /
had rather be the miner. Though
here is room for all and all are
