makes life torment.

LEPROSY.
Peculiarities of This Loathsome and
Deadly Disease.

Peculiarities of This Loathsome and
Deadly Disease.
The fact that many persons come in
to intimate contact with lepers for
years without becoming affected is not
strange when one reflects that the
same applies to the closely allied dis
observation-disclosures. Men have volun-
tarily submitted themselves to direct
incubation with material from the
sores, discharges, ETC., Of lepers, yet
in only one case chat Of Hawaiian
convict who, when condemned to
death, submitted to the alternative Of
inoculation) was the actual disease pro-
duced in this artificial manner.
There is no cure for leprosy. All the
remedies proposed after the disease
becomes well seated have been Of lit
tie use. The utmost attained is pro-
longation of life and a mitigation of
suffering.
There is a tradition which has Of
late obtained some scientific support
that fish diet is one Of the necessary
causes of leprosy. either through faint
ed fish containing some substance
which stirs the bacilli into activity or
through the bacilli growing in the fish
and thus being taken into the stomach.
This lunacy may have originated in
the belief that the scales Of the leper
and the scales of the fish are analo-
gous. Leprosy exists among inland
peoples who never eat fish and does
not seem specially prevalent among
those of the coasts who eat most fish.
A curious thing about leprosy is that
only one woman is affected to every
four men.-New York Press.

INDIAN MYTHS.
One Accounts For the Custom Of
Scalping an Enemy.

One Accounts For the Custom Of
scalping an Enemy.
Among the many myths of the North
American Indian the disposition Of the
soul after its separation from the body
and its close connection with the scalp
varies according to the religion of the
tribe. With some the journey to the
'happy hunting grounds" begins i'm
meiiately; with others the spirit re-
mains near the grave. Again, If an In.
dian dies away from the lodges of his
people the spirit returns at once to
them, where it hovers as IL reluctant
to leave. Among the upper Missouri
river tribes it is believed that before
the spirit finally departs from those
who have died from wounds received
In battle it floats toward great cliff
overhanging the Missouri and carves
upon the wall Of rock picture show
ing the manner Of death.
1t is believed by most of the plains
tribes that the soul attaches itself to
the scalp; that the soul of person
scalped does not suffer from the
WOuuUS luulCtSO vi IuO OOOyS UuL l1dI
the opposite is the case where the
scalp is not torn of.
An Indian who kills himself in bat
tie. accidentally or purposelyNhas posi-
lively no hereafter. He is irrevocably
lost. Those who are struck by light
ming or die by any other apparently
1irect operation Of the Great Spirit
are hurrledly buried where they fell
without ceremony, and no mound or
mark is erected over them. If after
a battle there are found corpses not
scalped or mutilated it is positive evil
dence that such persons came to their
death by their own hand, for it is
tenet Of the Indian religion not to scalp
or mutilate the body Of an enemy who
commits suicide. - Cleveland Plain
