WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women Of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those Of our generation. To be sure.
there are hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage In his front yard. vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
OF his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover. although her cloth
Ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace. and heavy with jewels
1t was not subject to rapid changes of
fashion. The cut of a sleeve or the
hang Of a skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like last years rag bag" :"

his temple, near ST Georges street
east; the Parsees worship the sun in
Bloomsbury. the Mormons have mis-
sion in Islington. and in many parts
of the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. OF Christian sects In
London there are at least 800. includ-
ing the Cokelers, the disciples of Will

New York Doctors Find That Although
Well She Breeds Typhoid.

New York, April 2.--A puzzling case
is under observation in the Reception
hospital in this city. The patient is a.
woman, cook, apparently ii perfect
health. but who is detained because she
is suspected of having communicated ty
phoid to about 25 persons within the
past six years.
According to DR.. Walter Benzel, the
sanitary superintendent of Manhattan,
the woman is literally living typhoid
factory She herself was stricken with
the disease about six years ago.
Now it is found that Ia all the time
since She was declared erred OF TYPHOID
she has kept on nurturing and develop
ing the typhoid germs. Though herself
immune, the germs which she has been
developing have been source Of danger
to oil with whom she has come in con-
tact
"The Lord only knows what we can do
with the woman" said DR.. Benzel. I'VE
will employ every means known to sci-
ence to locate and destroy the culture
group Of germs which persist in linger
ing IN her anatomy
Suspicion was attracted to the woman
as typhoid invariably appeared in fam
lilies where she was employed, and when
She was taken to the hospital the sus.
picion was confirmed.
DR. Darlington, the health commission
er. SAYS there il considerable doubt as
to the legal right Of the health officials
to detain the germ woman. She has vio-
lated no laws. Science, however, regards
her as an unconscious menace to the
community.
