ancas with Mobility.
More than 400 American girls have
married foreigners of noble families and
many Of them have taken big fortunes to
their European husbands.
A French journal, lie Petit Parisien,
declared the other day that Americana
girls who had married abroad, mostly for
Foreign titles, had carried with them to
Europe the astonishing sum of $500 ,O00,-
GOO. The Paris writer did not associate
this statement with the reports of tight
money" in America, yet the fact that
hundreds of millions have gone out of
the country with the title hunters may
well occasion a little financial as well as
a social speculation.
Henry Clews, the veteran ~Gnancier,
when asked for an opinion on this esti-
mate, said
Il think the statement that 5000. 0OO,-
600 of wealth has been taken u of this
country, or at least that the ownership
of this vast amount of assets has been
transferred to aliens by the marriage Of
American girls with foreigners is conserv-
alive. Undoubtedly the withdrawal Of
such an enormous sum has an appreciate
effect upon the money market.
THE folly of Americans who have Eu-
ropamania is extremely costly TO this
country. Our tourists spend at least
$150.O0O,O0O abroad every year, most of
it foolishly."
A New York paper prints a list of 356
American girls who have married into
distinguished foreign families. Following
is a list of twenty-five such heiresses who
have carried $l60,000,OoO out of the coun-
try:

A New Typhoid Terror.

Although the discovery Of new
sources of danger to health. new car.
riers Of disease germs. should be an
encouragement to the scientific worker
ss tending toward the more accurate
application of preventive measures.
the knowledge that the typhoid infec-
ton is being carried about in scores
OF supposedly healthy persons will
prove rather alarming. To the medical
profession II is we'll known. OF course.
that the typhoid bacillus sometimes
persists for years in certain portions
Of the human anatomy. and that 1t is
always to be found for a time during
convalescence, but the possibility that
healthy and apparently robust indi-
viduals may be carriers Of the deadly
germs, and that the arrest and isola.
ton OF such carriers" may come to
be a part Of the public campaign
against the disease, is a comparatively
recent aspect OF the question. The
discovery of this added danger should
serve to emphasize the importance OF
scrupulous care In ascertalning the
health and antecedents Of household
servants, says Philadelphia Ledger. In
q particular case that led TO the dis.
covery Of one aggravated instance Of
typhoid carrier" six persons in a
single family developed the disease
within a few days after the arrival Of
new cook. After every other posi-
BILE source Of contamination had been
investigated and found guiltless, an
inquiry as to the cook revealed the
startling fact that during the FIVE
years previous at least 26 cases Of
typhoid were associated with her serv.
ice In seven different families. She
was detained, and meteorological ex.
animation revealed her to be chronic
typhoid fever producer.

Headstones for Dead Soldiers.

Another impressive proof Of the
growing solidarity of the country is
furnished by the announcement that
the war department will buy head
stones and mark the graves of cap
tured confederate soldiers and sailors
who died while held in hospitals and
prisons. The fact that the order to be
given will call for 10000 such head
stones indicates the magnitude Of the
undertaking, and also emphasizes
anew the extent of the sacrifice made
during the civil war, says Troy Times
To the hundreds of thousands Of union
soldiers and sailors who gave up theii
lives must be added an equal II moi
greater number from the south who
persisted In defense OF the confederacy
But it is all over, and kindly gov
eminent, rejecting the temper Of the
people from whom 1t derives its pow
ers, recalling that those who fought In
gray as we'll as those In blue were
Americans and that their valor gave
them fame which is a common heri
tage, takes this method of showing ap
probation.

monty stands for some special form of

not to be SO understood. But 1t is
none the less religious in spirit. Its
representative speakers at the grea,

John Burroughs, who lives near to
natures heart in picturesque home
on the Esopus hills, overlooking the
noble Hudson, has been interviewed
on the subject of nature takers" and
shows that many of the writers on the
habits of birds and animals are rank
humbugs and know little about the
subjects regarding which they profess
to speak with authority. In many
matters regarding outdoor life he ID
thoroughly In accord with President
Roosevelt, Of whom he says: "The
president is as competent In natural
history as he is in politics. He knows
our wild life like book, and what
ever he says on the subject you can
take without discount" That, says
Troy Times, comes straight from q
man who never conceals his own opin
ions. and whose love for the simple
and naturali life cannot be exceeded.

Chicago, Oct 15.-A $3O,OOO,OOO will
contest that was argued and settled
out of court was disclosed when the
last testament of Nelson Morris, the
packer, was fled for probate Monday.
AS a result OF this remarkable situa-
ton the principal provision Of the will
has been nullifled. Instead of carry
ing out an arrangement which would
have held the bulk of the estate In
trust for at least Il years, the widow
and her four children will divide the
property equally among themselves
at once. Instead of 100000 an an
annuity Of $4,000 during the next 20
years, each of the five principal heirs
will receive at once 100000 In cash
and securities.

The choice Of Prof August Bier to
Ill the chair of the late Ernst Won
Bergman In Berlin calls attention to
the fact that the procedure which
made him famous seemed at first to do
away with the need for the bold surgi.
cal operations of his great predecessor.
This procedure was the employment
OF active and passive hyperaemia as a
method Of arresting inflammatory and
purulent processes. Its Importance
was for time greatly exaggerated,
but 1t Is now acknowledged to be a
substantial contribution to medical
science. To DR.. Bier surgery owes an.
other epoch-making innovation. In
