New Plague is Felt IN Wisconsin.

A disease which is akin to cere-
brospinal meningitis has appeared
in various localities throughout
Wisconsin in the form of an epi-
demic, and the state board of
health has issued a pamphlet in
viting physicians to study the
maladY, n order to devise ways
and means to protect the people
in the future.
The name of "antefior poliu
myelitis' has been applied to the
disease, and the board suggests
that it may be wise to class this as
one of the dangerous infectious
diseases.
The article in the bulletin dis
cusses the recorded epidemics OF
this disease in Norway and other
European countries, and then pro-
ceeds to describe its characteristics
as follows:
"a study of the cases which
have appeared in this state reveals
the fact that the disease starts
with gastr o-intestinal disturbance
es, considerable pain and nausea,
says the report. "These symptoms

Just about this time, or within

thereafter, paralysis of one or both
legs manifesus itself, and within

injecting a powerful antiseptic has

Women in War Time.

Miss Ethel Everest is an English
woman who thinks the time is ripe for
the splendid young women of her coun-
try to show their patriotism by going
INTO the army. But some one reminds
her that the world has outgrown the
amazon and that, should the enemy
shoot down a woman, the brothers and
husbands who allowed her to be shot
DOWN would have a hard time explain
.ng. Women are needed in war, but
only to smooth the pillows and make
lint bandages for the men who do the
lighting.

EATING and Drinking.

It is estimated that a canary bird
eats annually 2341a times it's weight in
seeds, etc. Don't you believe it? Ger
tainly. Believe anything, commands
the New York Press. Take it on
trust. What does man do? The Eng
lish and French army and navy tests
show that the food, water and air
aggregate to more than 5000 pounds
a year: that is, to about ton and a
half, or more than 20 times his weight
The tests for men are actual; those
for birds are all guess. A canary bird
wastes a great deal more than it eats.
Soldiers and sailors are not allowed to
indulge in this diversion.

FOUNDING TIE SECOND EMPIRE
Two Picturesque Episodes in pcao.
of Unrest.

Walking about the streets, riding On
buses, junketing up and down The
river in steamboats,, [ was profoundly
struck by the unrest among the pro
pie, their intense hatred Of emperor
and empress. One day I caught a
glimpse of Rochefort, carried aIott On
the shoulders Of a mob Of students
thronging the Boulevarde Saint
Michel. I never saw q man looking
so helplessly frightened as did The
founder of the "Lanterne,' then in its
prime. Whether he feared the police
or a fall | do not know. But his ter
ror was abject.
In the summer time the emperor
paid a visit to Beauvais. On the
chance Of getting material for an ar
ticle acceptable in London, iourneya
thither with North Peat who went
down as representative Of the Morning
Star. The prince imperial accom-
panied the emperor, who dTO'S'

this reason that the board desires
every physician cognizant of such
case to make a thorough and
scientific examination of symp-

While the bulletin does not state

is most prevalent, it has been
learned from officials that there

Scandinavian Dinner Custom.

A strange custom obtains in Norway,
Sweden and Denmark. At dinner par
ties, if the guests are not evenly
matched as regards numbers, it is
custom for one man to offer his arm
to another if the ladies are not sufH-
GENTLY numerous, and in this strange
manner the guests go to dinner.
The fashion we are told always ap-
pears grotesque to the foreigner, and
is without charm and without grace.

An Improvement in Girls.

Ten or twelve years ago, when a
Girl got married, she left such debt
for wedding clothes and expenses that
it ordinarily took the family six years
to recover from it, says the Atchtson
Globe. Fathers should take off their
hats to the modern girl. She earns
the money to buy her own wedding
outfit. and in many cases has a little
left to help in buying things for her
new house. The modern girl is more
of an improvement over the young
woman of 20 years ago than the mod
ern young man is over young men of
that time.

Sinners Need Bio Room.

Many excellent voices are ruined
according to a communication which
DR.. Weiss has made to the French
Academic du Medicine, by practicing
in too small room. A public singer
must throw every intonation of his
voice a distance of 80 or 40 yards, he
says. but a student practicing in
small room is only able to throw it
yard or two and the consequence is
that the voice, instead of expanding,
becomes telescODGd.

you the comforts of home. And
when you have made a character
for energy and thrift, ask some
lady to share your home with
you. We would say to every
young lady, mark these men who
are lounging around attempting
to live by their wits, or on the in
terest of their debts; and when
they ask you to share the lot of
an aimless life, pass them on, for
you cannot afford to marry man
without prosperity or business
habits, unless you wish to sell
yourself for mess of pottage.
Again we would reiterate, young
man, go to work. While ten
men watch for chances, one man
makes a chance. While ten men
wait for something to turn up
one turns something up; so while
ten fail one succeeds and is call
ed a man of luck, the favorite of
fortune. Luck and fortune is the
result of honest endeavor, work
and toll, and if you would sue
ceed, go to work. : Washburn

Beer in Belgium.

A consular report sets forth that in
Belgium more varieties of beer are for
sale than in any other country. All
the European breweries have their
agents in this fortunate country and
some American beers are sold there
too When the reputation of Germany
as a beer country is remembered it
seems odd to think of Belgium taking
in more kinds.

DEEP WATER RACES. .
Seven Long Distance Events on the
Atlantic Coast.

NEW YORK May 1S.-From time to
time announcements of ocean races have
been made, until ii would appear that
deep-wate events are to be feature OF
the season Of 1908. Seven long-distance
events have been arranged on the At
lantic coast. to say nothing OF the half
dozen long jaunts which Pacihc coast
sailors and motor boatmen have sched-
uled. In this part of the country we are
to have the race OF sailing craft from
Marblehead to Bermuda. June 3: the race
to Cape May and return for the Upton
cup. under the auspices OF the BROOKLYN
Yacht Club, July 1. the New York Attn
letic Club race to Block Island later In
July. and in August the Brooklyn Yacht
Clubs race around Montauk Point and
Cape May lightshp for the one-thou-
sand dollar cup offered by that organiza-
ton. or long distance races for power
craft there are the race from New York
to Bermuda. June =; the race from New
Rochelle to Marblehead. in July. and the
race from Boston TO Shelburne, y. s..
August ~
The Marblehead- Bermuda races involve
distance of 615 nautical miles; the
Brooklyn Yacht Clubs Upton cup race
to Cape May and around Fire Island,
:;15 nautical miles: the Travers Island
Block Island race. lO2 nautical miles: the
MarbleheadNew Rochelle race. go nau-
teal miles. and the Boston Shelburne
race. 20 nautical miles. Such a schedule
as this may be regarded with pride. and
certainly 1t goes to show that the At
lantic coast yachtsmen. are by no means
fair-weather. smooth-water sailors. Ii
the New York Yacht Club will now push
through it's project of cruising from New
port to Bar Harbor instead of from Glen
Cove to Newport 1t will advance its
reputation in the minds o. yachtsmen

he experienced because he could not see
Gould's service properly. and says: Il

background for Gould's service was a bob

Finally. Miles attributes Gould's revival
in the last set to coffee. which" he says
for those who can stand it is more po-

In conclusion. Miles thinks that now he
knows Goulds new service he will be less
unprepared. and will do better IL he meets

DETROIT. Mich. May ls.-Eddie Sum-

MES emphatically that he uses the new
invention in the pitching world. the
knuckle ball. However. according to his

mas ter Of no-name ball which is more
effective than such productions as the
knuckle ball. This new one has not yet
been christened. but from the description
1t might do to call Ii the UNLIMITED COM
bination." Summers says that he made
ibis discovery while trying to master the
'knuckle ball. He says he grips the ball
with the tips of his fingers and his thumb
and can control 1t better than by merely
pressing the horsehide against the
knuckles. and furthermore he can put
some steam in it. Those who have seen
it say that 1t sails up to the batter like a
floater only ii Is speedy. and that just
as the sphere reaches the man with the
ash it appears to pause in the air for the
merest fraction OF a second and then TO
curve. generally downward. On some oc
casions the ball is said TO make more
