Gently the complaint which is called
trachoma, or Egyptian ophthalmia, has
become epidemic in New York and else
where in this country, especially among
school children, and the results have
been most serious. Several species Of
the flies that convey it are found in
parts Of the United States, being com
monty seen buzzing about the heads Of
dogs.
The bedbug, owing to the nature Of
its relations with human beings, enjoys
exceptional facilities for carrying dis
eases from one person to another. It
seems to be accountable, at all events
to some extent, for the spread of that
horrid and disfguring complaint, lupus
or skin tuberculosis, in Colombia, and
in tho same country 1t is accused Of
transmitting the infection Of leprosy
The suggestion has ever been made that
it is an agent for the distribution OF
cancer-the most mysterious Of NAL
aides, respecting the cause Of which the
wisest Investigators have been unable
to find out anything definite or salts

the bedbug, however plausible, remain

Thus was tho suspicion which had

There has been vast improvement
in the telegraph systems in recent years.
All the latest improved apparatus for
quick service has been installed. Type
writer's have come into general use,
sending machines have been invented
and proved successful. The Phillips
code Is used in newspaper work and on
heavy wires. This code enables the
sending telegrapher to make a certain
character which may mean several
words. The receiver transcribes it in
full on the typewriter, and re-
markable speed is attained.

And with. all this improv ement for
the rapid handling Of business, has the
telegrapher benefited by it, In ability
and experience, yes. In salary and
working hours, no. In great many

There is a strange fascination about
telegraphy which perhaps no other pro-
fession can boast of. When once learned
it is never entirely forgotten and with
little brushing up a man is as
good as new. Numerous cases have
come to notice of well-to-do teleg-
raphers who could double or quadrup1e

men who have given up the business
years before but who gradually drift
back to their first lovei
Certain it is that any telegrapher
who has in the past made it business,
no matter what his standing may be
socially or commercially, is always
ready and willing to spend little time
in "reminiscences and "shop talk OF
the days Of yore when the clicking of
the instruments was music to his ears.

majority of cases ugly when they grow
old. This is, perhaps, moro the fault
Of circumstances than their own. But
the grace Of elderly people comes thru
qualities that have been tried in many
hardships, and the affairs Of the very
rich are kept too continuously comfort
able for their souls to be much
sharpened. It is, in fact, we'll known
among people Of small incomes that
their rich friends are almost invariably
barren Of little kindnesses, that they
have no passion for giving pleasure, no
instinct for the generosity SO common
among those to whom generosity is also
sacrifice. In order to grow old and
exhale charm it is absolutely impera-
tive to become practiced in kindness.
Everything is matter of habit. The
habit Of doing one genuinely gracious

ognomy, and the greater the cost Of
the action probably the greater the sub
sequent effect upon appearance.

Another form of wisdom in the mat
ter Of aging is to accept the fact. A
woman more especially, should never
forget her years, and, having remem-

increasing care of her appearance.
Daintiness, like sympathy, ought to
deepen in her with time. She should

Two girls are going TO add for
eign aspect to a Long island summer
village this season. There is no place
in this popular resort where either the
owners Of the cottages or the dwell
ers in the numerous boarding houses
can entertain, with the exception of
the clubhouse piazzas, which are not
always accessible, although invariably
expensive.
In a place Of the same size and
popularity in Europe there would, Of
course, be restaurants and a casino and
some means of living outside the house,
But such features Of summer life
seem unknown in this country except
at Newport, and one or two large re-
sorts. SO these young women are
waiting with some uncertainty the
result Of their experiment.

formerly a country store, provided with

with dark green Japanese paper that
gives the room a delightful cool ap'

scattered through these rooms and on
the piazzas, which are covered with
vines and hidden from the view Of
the street by mating screens.
This is the first tea room that the
resort ever boasted. Here ii will be
possible to have tea every day, and
the piazzas may be engaged by per-
sons who want to entertain a large
number Of guests.

money. Now they are wondering
