THE CAMERA FIEND.
Amusement Like Taking

A well-known criminal lawyer one
day sauntered into police court just
as a case was called. 1t appeared that
the defendant had no attorney, and
the judge glanced about the room to
see whom he might assign to the case.
"I'll take it, judge" the late conner
said. wishing to pass away the time.
by the way, what is the man
charged with?" the attorney presently
asked.
He's a camera fiend of the worst
sort. Mr.. Brown" the judge said
with a slight smile. Il expect to send
him to the workhouse for about three
months
What" the lawyer shouted. indig-
nantly. Your honor must be joking.
Send a man to the rock pile for three
months for a little harmless amuse-
ment like taking pictures?'

don't take pictures much-it's the

The Fight Against Consumption.

The Fight Against Consumption.
Great comfort is to be derived from
the census figures relative to the NOR
tality rates for the last few years. 1t
appears from these statistics that tu-
berculosis is causing markedly
smaller percentage of deaths at present
than formerly, indicating certain de-
gree of success in the fight against the
great white plaugue' which is being
waged in all parts of this country.
The statistics unfortunately cover only
ten of the states and 1874 cities, owing
to the lack of organized systems OF
recording and reporting in all parts
of the United States. These states are
Connecticut, Indiana, Maine. Massa-
chusetts. Michigan, New Hampshire
New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Yer
mont. and these, together with the
cities in other states which carefully
preserve death records constitute a
population of 34.OO0,OOO, or two-fifths
of that of the United States. Accord
ing to the returns from these sources
the latest calculable rate of mortal
ity from consumption was 172.6 ner
100000 of population. In 1880 the rate
was 2i5.4. This diminution, says the
Washington Star. is likely to progress
more rapidly in the future, for most
of the work of public education in
combating the disease has been done
during the last decade and is largely
fundamental. The good result of the
local propaganda in behalf OF clean
living, good. fresh air. thorough sani-
tation. and. to certain extent. segre-
CATION of consumptives, is just begin
ming to be felt. The warfare against
consumption is proceeding along two
broad lines. prevention and cure. The
former is being waged by both physi-
clans and laymen. and is an educa-
tional work. The latter is strictly
scientific and the results are less dis
tinct. because they are observable
chiefly by the members of the medical
profession. The real problem of to-
day lies in teaching the people two
prime facts-that consumption is COM
municable and that its communication
can be prevented by the observance of
certain simple rules of hygiene and
cleanliness.

Proof Against Burglars.

ents' private property should be as i'm
mune at sea as it is on land

down the "intolerable expenditure on
armaments."
Another resolution provides that
each national group shall apply to its
own government to grant funds to aid
future conferences of the Interparlia-
mentary Union.
