Do EnaIishmen Dislike us2

AS to the English, however, the
acts would seem to show that they

dislike of them. Or, in other words,
more English are friendly to Ameri.
Sans than otherwise. During the

Durability of Leprosy.

Unna, of Hamburg, like many 9th
tr conspicuous dermatologists, is Of
the opinion that there is a possibility
VI curing leprosy. In his report read
before the International Medical con-
yress at Lisbon he states that he has
,een successful in attacking cutane-
BUS leprosy, not macular or anaes-
ihetic leprosy, and gives his expert
turing a period of p years. His suf-
erers were private patients, more or
ess well to do, all leading a useful
life and wishing most emphatically to
be cured so that they could again
take up their several occupations.
This fact is important, Unna thinks,
h contrast to what is observed in the
patients of leper hospitals, for eX.
ample, in Norway, who are very poor
people, coming from the worst sur
'oundings, Stunned by their neigh

At night they would sit huddled
round this stove, while they ate their
supper of their laps; and then Jurgis
and Jonas would smoke q pipe, after
which they would crawl into their
beds to get warm, after putting out
the fire to save the coal. Then they
would have some frightful exper-
fences with the cold. They would
sleep with all their clothes on, includ-
ing their overcoats, and put over them
all the bedding and spare clothing
they owned; the children would sleep
all crowded into one bed, and yet even
so they could not keep warm. The
outside ones would be shivering and
sobbing, crawling over the others and
trying to get down into the center.

In the room. They would waken In
the midnight hours, when everything
was black; perhaps they would hear
II yelling outside, or perhaps there
would be deathlike stillness--and that
would be worse yet.
They could feel the cold as IL crept
In through the cracks, reaching out
for them with It's Icy, death-dealing
fingers; and they would crouch and
cover and try to hics from It, all In
vain. II would come, and II would

The victim was Tamoszius Kuszlei-
ka, who played the violin. Every
body laughed at them, for 'famoszius
was petite and frail, and Maria could
have picked him up and carried him

was why she fascinated him; the
sheer volume of Marija's energy was
overwhelming. That first night at
the wedding Tamoszius had hardly
taken his eyes off her. and later on,
when he came to find that she had
really the neart Of baby, her voice
and her violence ceased to terrify
him, and he got the habit of coming
TO pay her visits on Sunday after
Moons. There was no place to enter

xius would sit there with his hat be-

managed to say those; until finally
Jurgis would clap him upon the back
IN his hearty way, crying, Come now,

light up and he would get out his I'D

forthwith the soul OF him would flame
