Since the disastrous earthquake in San
Francisco on April IS last stories have
been appearing from time to time telling
OF queer freaks Of the upheaval. Only last
week 1t was discovered that the wells in
the courtyard OF the United States mint
had been transformed from pump wells to
Srtesian by the big disturbance. This was
learned when the pump was taken out for
repairs, the courtyard being flooded within
a short time The wells were bored many
years ago and are about 175 feet deep.
There was apparently a subterranean con-
nection between them, for the pumping of
water from one lowered the water In the
other. Normally, the water was within
thirty feet OF the surface and that was
the condition when the pump was taken
out last March. Last week. for the first
time since March. 1905 the pumps were
again removed, when Il was discovered
that the water flowed freely without me-
chanical aid.

when all graveN symptoms suddenly disap-
pear and the "crisis" occurs This Is the
turning point toward promised recovery.
Oftentimes however. the poison Is so over
whelming that death occurs before this
anxiously anticipated period arrives II
must be understood that a fatal result Is
not so much due to the amount Of lung
tissue involved as to the original virulence
OF the Infection, for many more patients
succumb to so-cslled blood poisoning than
to mere suffocation from mechanical OBJ
struction.
Strange as it may seem, considering the
greater personal exposure of people in
country districts, the disease IS always
most prevalent in cities. This is one Of the
strongest arguments in favor Of its COM
munloabihty from one individual to the
other. But this, perhaps, is not the whole
explanation Of the relative immunity. The
rural individual has, as a rule, a proper
tionately greater resisting power against
any disease and escapes many Of the con-
tributory influences of vital depression that
are ever present in densely populated re-

SPARE THE POOR BACHELOR
Champion of the Unmarried Says They
should Not BE Specially
Taxed.

To insist, az some do, that If splnsters
be taxed bachelors likewise should be COM
PEELED to contribute to the general fund,
is, to our mind. absurd. The two classes
are quite distinct.
From time to time special taxes have
been imposed upon single men in Great
Britain and ireland, but only, It was
always carefully stated, for the purpose
of increasing revenues. In France, on the
other hand, fear Of depopulation is said to
be at the root of the present movement
unsuccessful thus far, to exact toll for
celibacy 1t will be seen then, that the
actuating causes have varied widely, but
generally speaking, the discrimination has
rested on the Spartan principle that It Is
the duty to the state of every citizen to
rear up legitimate children, although there
is room for suspicion that in some in
stances the henpecked married men who
made the law felt that bachelors should
pay well for happiness that seemed to
them exceptional.
OF the 100000 persons of both sexes of
a marriage age in this country more than
1900, 900 remain single. This number seems
large enough to justify our chief magis-
trates recent insistence that from the
viewpoint of a far-seeing ruler DESTROYS Of
providing cadets and midshipmen for q
large navy, the indefinite continuance Of
such a condition is intolerable Lest he
may suddenly direct the various states to
enact laws that would bear unduly upon
married men or suffer them to be brought

facts established by our federal census.

A COMMON WINTER DISEASE
Some Interesting Comments on the
Cause and Eject of Dread
Pneumonia.

Pneumonia. usually prevalent at this sea-
son, is at present reaping an almost I'M
precedented death harvest. So commonly
are individuals attacked with the malady
that the occurrence provokes little more
than a sad and passing comment The dis
ease is supposed to be always associated
with cold and inclement weather, and we
take its infiiction as a matter Of course
1t is only when II comes home to us that
we realize its gravity and the usual result
which awaits its invasion. Apparently, It
must make it's dreadful score during our
ever changing winter climate, do what we
may in the way Of preventing an attack.
In taking chances the more we can learn
Of the real nature of the disease, It's symp-
toms, tendencies and complications, the bet
ter we may. realize the Importance OF such
preventive measures as may be within or
binary reach. But most OF all, the proper
recognition OF the earlier symptoms, CIV
ing as It does the best hope for treatment,
often turns the scale in safe directions.
A main difficulty is that no one can tell
whether or not a given "cold" will ulti-
mately travel to the deeper parts of the
lungs Thus It happens that no cough,
/ soreness Of chest, chilliness or other evil
! denee OF even slight catarrhal troubles can
be trusted these times. The only hope
rests in the fact that It may go no fur

There can hardly be a doubt, however

This surprising disparity surely merits Sc
rious consideration. We may assume, for
chivalric reasons, that our delicately nu-
tured women are of tougher fiber and
more enduring physical nature than their
husbands hence we are driven TO the
conclusion that the hazard of matrimony
is vastly greater for men than for women.

That these significant facts do or should
escape the thoughtful attention of a pru-

of longevity during the matrimonial period

CENSUS OF RELIGIOUS BODIES
Years Increase in Church Member
ship Larger Than in 1905, but
Not Equal TO 1904,

The religious bodies In the United States,
considered together, made much larger
gains In membership in the year 1909 than
In 1906, but they did not quite equal the
gains OF 1904 or 1908. The net increase In

the government census Of churches In
1890. and annually brings the figures Of

the year Just closed were not 30 great as
In 1906 but In number Of ministers there
was marked advance. On these points
the figures for 1905 are Minister'S, 4SOOi

Catholic church Is by far the largest body
Of Christians in the United States, the
1906 figures OF membership being 1888, 49,
a gain Of l25,T7B over the figures reported
q year ago. DIT, Carroll points out, how
ever, that the method Of computing mem
bership figures differs so greatly in the

ing in most Protestant bodies, that COM
parison is likely to be misleading. The
