Many Races In Abyssinia.

The most interesting part Of tho
dark continent Is Abyssinia. Hero
the beasts of the field and the flowers
OF the meadow from the Mcditcrra-
mean region meet those OF tropical
Africa. Here the snow capped noun
taIns retain n wild goat: here also is
peculiar and aberrant dog. and in
the western lowlands is n true wild
boar. Several OF the antelopes and
two or three species OF monkey are
peculiar to Abyssinia. rs are numer.
Gus birds. few fish. two or three rep
tiles. and great many plants. The
human races are of varied types and
widely different origins, speaking d
diversity of languages, some OF them
as yet unclassificd. In the extreme
southwest are negro types, In the
southeast and south they are hand
some Gala Hamitic or Somala stock.
In the north there are Hamite and
Semitic. and traces OF ancient Greek
or Egyptian colonies. and dark skinned
Jews whose origin seems to ante.date
the destruction of Jerusalem. Abys.
sinia has n history going back to n
thousand years before the Christian
era.

Water In epIdsmles.

The relation Of water to germs and
cpidcmics Is subject full OF interest
from tho standpoint OF public hygiene.
In the Revue Scicn,iaaue" DR.. Nal.
-ncjac discusses tho whole subject OF
the experiments which have been
made from 1885 to tho present day to
tcst this question. and especially with
respect to Ebcrth's bacillus. which is
that of typhus. All that Is known OF
this baciiius-lts vitality. habits and
rcproduction-is dwclt upon. with tho
result OF showing that II subsists long
or than apy other in stcrilized water.
DR.. Maimcjac's conclusion Is that wa
ter should be regarded as true am.
bicnt for germs. and not rs an acci.
dental channel. and. above all. that
pathoscncous germs may live In water
for sufficient length Of time to cause
epidcmics.

RIGHT HOME.
Doctor Recommends Postum from
Personal Test.


No one is better able to realize the
injurious action of caffeine-the drug
in coffee-on the heart, than the doc
tor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving of coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
II wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. l have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over 10
years, and part of the time was unable
to attend to my business.
II was a moderate user Of coffee and
did not think drinking 1t hurt me. But
on stopping it and using Postum in
stead, my heart has got all right, and
l ascribe it to the change from coffee
to Postum.
II am prescribing 1t now in cases OF
sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.
when made right 1t has much
better flavor than coffee, and Is vital
sustainer of the system. ! shall con
tinue to recommend 1t to our people
and 1 have my own case to refer to.

A Resume Of Cancer Research.


william Seaman Dainbridsc states
that cancer occurs with the same cx-
scntiai characteristics throughout tho
vertebrate creation. There is u Va.
ricty of conflicting evidence In refer.
cnca TO the influence Of diet on the de-
vciopmcnt OF cancer. However. cancer
is comparatively rare In hot countries.
especially In those whose Inhabitants
subsist largely on vegetable diet. With
certain exceptions II seems to be prev.
aicnt where animal diet Is mostly con.
sumcd.

Women are attacked by cancer far

Much recent experimental work points
to the cell AS the essential element In
tho development OF cancer. The para

THUGS AT PERRYVIlLE
Community Is Aroused Over Repeated
 Acts of Lawlessness.

Perryville, Ark, March 26-About 10 o'clock Saturday night, William Hardwicke was held up at Perry, and robbed of $15 in money besides let ters and papers.
 Hardwicke is an employe of the Greenville Slave company, which has mills and timber interests in this sec tion. He vas intending to go to Little Rock on the night train on business for his company, and on leaving a pool hall for the depot to take the train, two men stepped from behind a pile of shingles, stuck a gun in his face, and relieved him then and there of his valuables. The two robbers dis appeared in the darkness, and Hard wicke returned to his hotel
 An hour afterwards, during the tenn porary absence of the agent and night operator, the Rock Island ticket office was entered and the cash drawer re- lieved of between forty and fifty dol lars. HW,Ml
 This character of work has been going on at Perry and Perryville dur ing the past three months and the officers and people are thoroughly aroused. It is generally believed that i; is being done by local inhabitants, and a concerted move is now on to rid the two communities of certain ob- iectionable characters.
 The detective department of the Rock Island railway now has men on the ground making a thorough in- vestigation.
