A MYSTERIOUS EPIDEMIC

New York is worried about the spread
IN that city OF cerebro.spinal menin-
gifts, a mysterious plague, the cause Of
which Is not understood and for which
no remedy seems TO be known. The
mortality from that disease Increased
from ten I'm the week ending March
25, 1901, to eghty-hye in the correspond
ing week. this year, and the physicians
have not, 80 far, been able to discover
tho cause Of this advance. The dis
ease is not confined TO the poorer quar-
ters, where the people live in squalor
and an impure atmosphere, 1t fire.
quently appears In country villages
and in first -class hotels. The New
York Mail observes that, 1T Is at this
time a pestllence which seems TO fall
as by N special and relentless dispen-
sation OF Providence. We are as help
less before II, and may be as super
stltious about It as We're the people
OF the middle ages in the face OF the
plague, They knew nothing OF the
germs which caused the disease. nor
of a means OF cure. Nor have we any
certain knowledge in the case OF the
cerebro-spinal meningitis"
Prot. Weichselbaum In Vienna, who
Is credited with the discovery of the
germ that IS supposed to cause this
disease, Is quoted in a New York World
special dispatch, to the effect that this
germ generally enters the system
through the nose Nearly all patients,
he says, in the first stage suffer with
mucous Inflammation. the nasal condl-
lions resembling those often seen In
common catarrh, The disease spreads
from the nose to the meninges (mem-
branes) of the brain, This fact, he
adds gives an important hint for pre-
venting infection. Patients should not
only be isolated, but strict care should
be taken that the matter secreted does
not come In contact with clothing,
whereby II may be carried elsewhere
Handkerchlefs used by the patient
should be carefully disinfected.

to send representatives to congress
to be held at Rome some time during
the month Of May, for the purpose Of
discussing the interests Of the worlds
farmers, and especially the subjects Of
agriculture immigration and labor gen.

AN ECHO FROM THE PAST.

The following address to the Russian
ruler, by the procurator Of the holy
synod Is no doubt meant 10 convey
consolation and encouragement In the
present hour Of trial, But 1t gives the
outside world an unveiled view Of
some OF the mysterious corner stones
OF the Russian government. It reveals
the medieval sentiment that accounts
for some Of Russia's present msfor-
tunes, The procurator says In part;
Most Merciul Sir our dear Lord
Jesus Christ invested you the duty Of
planting the cross Of the Orthodox faith
In the far east among heathens who
do not believe In God, and who for
that reason are not created In the Inn
age Of Him, and are very similar to
the unclean creature, the monkey, IL
IL not an easy matter to carry the
cross, especially to plant II among your
enemies.
Our Lord Christ was not the only
one TO undergo heavy trials, but also
the apostles and the cZals--your force
fathers. The hour OF triumph il near!"
The failure OF the Cars army to
plant the cross" among those pagan
monkeys" should open the eyes OF
the imperial disciple to the falacy of
the teachings of his ecclesiastical ad-
wiser.
In the ancient theocracy, when the
armies Of Israel were driven back and
the enemy invaded the boundaries OF
Canaan, the rulers knew that the Lord
was displeosed with them, on account
Of sins and transgressions, Repentance
brought victory. II the Russian car
is the head of theocracy, he should

tory OF the Mosaic dispensation.
