beg for permission 10 enter the colony
with their loved ones. There have
been instances where a husband would
develop into a leper and be sent TO
the island. leaving his wife ard chill.
dren with no means Of support. and
these cases are 20 pitiful that II seems
the government should provide for all
rather than see them suffer.
Al intervals a ship Is sent 10 Molo-
kai upon which relatives and friends
OF the lepers may have free passage
10 pay a visit 10 the afflicted colonists.
On the arrival OF the boat at the Is.
land the visitors are escorted into an
Enclosure which Is guarded on every
side by wire. They can talk through
this fence. but there must be no con.
tact. These visits mean much to the
afflicted ones and their friends.
Another sad feature Of the island
life Is that all children born there
must be taken away at the age of
seven years. unless they have become
i%noculated In the meantime. Imagine
the anguish It must mean to a father
and mother to look upon their chill.
dren when they are little and realize
that they will soon be taken away
from them. and that. although they
may return at intervals to talk to
them, that they will never be permit.
ted to touch them again. This is
really the essenc of tragedy.
The sad case Of one young wife who
was sent to Molokai would cause the
stoutest heart to bleed with pity. She
had only been married a year and her
first baby about to be born. when II
was discovered that she was in the
first stage OF leprosy. OF course the
husband did everything within his
power to save her from the island
but the law was stern and they took
her away. The cas- was so extreme
ly pitiful that the authorities agreed
to break the rules for once and allow
the husband to remain with his wife
until after the birth of their child. The
baby did not live a day, and the guard
in making his rounds found the un
fortunate couple entwined in each
others arms. both in the last lone
sleep OF death. An empty morphine
bottle at the bedside told the silent
story of despair. Surely a mercifu
God will deal gently with souls sc
terribly tried as these!

the most recent and the most whimsi- cal is the scheme of Dr Sohon of Washington, D. C., to take consump' tives to the Arctic regions that they may be treated for tuberculosis. The doctor went to Greenland with Peary and while there was impressed with the suita bleness of the climate for the people having that disease. The na' tives are free from it and the doctor believes tbat cures would soon be eff. fected if people could breathe the ail and live in that climate for awhile
 He would have a steamer run u[ north from May to September carry ing the passengers, who would live out of doors ;n the perpetual sunshine o1 those months. The scheme has actu
 ally got so far that they have beer negotiating at Halifax for vesse
 that should sail up north with load O. the sick ones as an experiment. Wht knows but what the cry for one of ou
 railroad trains may yet be "Consump tives! All aboard for the North Pole.

 Yellew Fever. pecially the state of Louisiana have had a fight with yell low feYer and for the first time has demonstrated that the disease can be met and conquered even without the aid of the frost. On July 21, the first case was reported. By the end of the month there were 300 of them and be- fore the work of prevention and eradi- cation had begun over 6O0 Up to October Is there were as far as known in the South about $500 cases and 924 known deaths from this cause. Of this number Louisiana had about 7,4OO cases and over 800 of the deaths. It has cost nearly or quite $320, 900 to stamp out the disease and the South ern press thinks that the money has been we'll spent. Swamps have been drained, low places filled up, cisterns screened and sanitary precautions in- augurated so that the Stegomyia Fla sciata, the death bringing variety of mosquito, has not place to lay it's head nor it's eggs. It has been brave fight and science and common sense have won. In New Orleans the nor nal death rate of the negroes has been, according to the vital statistics, about 43 to the thousand.

The OUTLOOK.

The Grand Army The 39th annual
 and the encampment of
 Old Soldiers the Grand Army of the Republic, which was held in Denver, brings out some interesting facts concerning the old soldiers. The report of Commander-in-C Chief John N. King showed that last year the G. A R. had over 5000 posts and member ship of about 23,O0O. This was loss of about 15 ,OOO members for the year. During the same time the Govern ment had dropped nearly 44,000 names from the pension rolls. The total number of those receiving pensions on January l was a few over million, the largest number that has been on the pension roll of the nation. It is said that there is still one Revolution ary war widow living, Esther s. Daw- son, 91 years old, who lives at Ply mouth Union, Vermont. The new commander-in-chief of the Grand Army is Corporal James Tanner. He enlisted in New York infantry regi- ment and was shot so that both legs had to be amputated after the second battle of Bull Bun. He was appointed clerk in the War Department in 1864 and has held various public posi- tions since then. The meeting at fast passing away. According to sta tistics the death rate is about 2,500 veterans month and as time goes on the rate will probably increase for awhile and then decrease as the ma jority becomes the minority. Our great country ought never to forget 1 the debt that it owes these men who so Loyalty risked their all to preserve the union.
 
 The The report of Commis- Temperance sioner Yerkes of the Outlook. Bureau of Internal Revenue shows that there were 7000 00( gallons less of whiskey consumed in 1904 than in 1903 in the United States. James Dalrymple, the Glasgow street R. R. expert, in his visit to this coun. try speaks of the absence of drunken men on the streets of Chicago as re. markable thing that aroused his sur. prise and admiration. It is certain that the intensity of our life as na tion is leading to more temperate hab- it's. Beer is taking the place of whis- key as beverage to the advantage o1 the public sobriety. To-day there are so many kinds of business that de mand clear heads and steady hands that the drinking man is handicapped in his struggles for high position anc the man of sobriety gets the best job Connecticut ought to be proud of the work which Secretary Thrasher anc the Law and Order League did ir years gone by to make Connecticut g moral and temperate state. The flu ture of our hill towns would be very bright if we could abolish the cider mill and the beer saloon from our civ ilization. To get a sober, sensible and sound generation after us ought to be one of the efforts of to-day. The sa. loon is taking one boy from every five families and making sot of him ir order to keep itself alive. Who wants to furnish boys to fill drunkard' < graves? Alas for the curse of rum!
