the size OF a paving stone came sail

top of the tent and landed in the CEN

"Thit sthill, thit sthill!" shouted
the engineer, who lisped. Nov we'll

He got out some instruments, meas

As soon as it was daylight a search

the engineer who lisped led them to
the spot where the catapult was with
scarcely any trouble at all. Better
than that, they captured the gang
which had been doing the work.-New

Climate of New Zealand.

New Zealand offers to the tourist a
temperate climate, and mountain, lake,
road and river scenery unsurpassed.
Its geysers, thermal springs and hot
and cold lakes are Natural wonders
which are being visited by increasing
numbers each year. No country offers
greater attractions to sportsmen.
Mountain climbing deer stalking,
trout fishing and shooting are avail
able to all. The charges are moderate
for travelling and accommodation, and,
therefore, touring in New Zealand is
not necessarily confined to wealthy
people.

for all around them the cholera and
the plague are raging, and the least let
up on their part would mean that the
babonic plague, or the cholera, or
both, would probably become epidemic
in Japan, and that would mean it's pos
sible spread to the unaffected islands
of the Pacific, Australia, the Hawaiian
islands, and possibly the American
mainland.
How do DR.. Doty, Surgeon General
Wyman of the United States marine
hospital service, the army and navy
doctors and the quarantine officers of
the other great American seaports
keep track of the worlds health? And
they do keep track Of it, and it is this
vigilance in prying into what's the
matter with our foreign neighbors that
has made this country the healthiest
and the best protected, from a stand
point of sanitation, on the face of this
earth. Now take this big globe that
is covered with tacks, and look at
Port Said at the entrance of the Suez
canal. There is a telltale tack stuck
near that place, and that tack means
that somebody or some people out
there have the bubonic plague, and
that every ship that stops at that port
and then comes to America will have
to stand the closest of inspections to
show that nobody on board, or any
thing in her cargo, conceals the germ
that is responsible for the most hor-
rible disease, with the exception of
leprosy, the world has ever known.

INFLUENCE OF THE MULLAHs.
No One Dares Lay SacriIeglous Finger
Upon Their Persons.

Ever since the beginning OF the now
constant troubles in India a good deal
has been heard about the mullahs,
says Pearson's Weekly.
A mullah, or, as it is more properly
written, mollah, is a title given in
India and throughout the east gener-
ally to a religious leader of any de-
scription.
Thus the sultan of Turkey is a
mollah, because he is the supreme
head of the Moslem world. The hostile
SOmali leader who caused us so much
anxiety between 1901 and 1905 and
whose name occasionally crops up
even now in the daily papers, was also
a mollah. And there are hundreds of
others.
TO most Of the more conspicuous
among them we prefix the adjective
mad" This, however, must not be
taken to mean that they are insane,
the word being used rather in its
oriental Specification of inspired"

EASILY FOUND THE cATAPuLT.
How Lisping Engineer Spoiled Sport
of Rioting Miners.

One of my friends who is men,
Der of the peace society is greatly
disturbed over the invention of Hud-
son Maxim's new noiseless gun. He
does not fear it half so much because
of its possible use in warfare as of its
value to assassins.
What chance has any of our kings
or presidents if this gun is to be
introduced?" he was worrying yester-
day
Which just reminds me of a play
full trick a bunch of rioting Penn
sylvania miners once played on the
troops who had been called out to
quell them. The miners would hike
away up the mountain somewhere
above the camp, select a good, springy
sapling, and use it for a catapult to
lombard the mark with stones all
night long.
1t was simply impossible to tell
where the stones came from in the
darkness. The presence of numerous
habitations around the mountains

ALL NATIONS HELP.

Let not the Australians, the New
Zealanders and the doctors of Scandi-
navia, Great Britain, France and the
Mediterranean countries be forgotten.
They are all in this fight for humanity,
and to their vigilance and skill the
German, the Japanese and the Ameri-
can doctors give the sincerest praise.
To revert to the Americans, take the
story of the plague fight in San Fran
cisco, where Surgeon Blue of the
army has done such great work and
the determination of the plague-carry-
ing rat and flea is being pushed relent-
lessly, so relentlessly that Gen. Funs-
ton when he relinquished command of
the department of California publicly
commended the great work that was
being done to make San Francisco
healthy as we'll as beautiful.
All the world is familiar with the
yellow fever fight. To-day New Or
leans, Mobile Brunswick, Porto Rico
and the Isthmus are forever rid, and
Cuba and Panama soon will be, of the
danger of an epidemic of the yellow
malady. In this work the medical
world will forever remember the
names of Gorgas, of Moore, of Wood
ruff, of Lazare and host of other
American medical soldiers, every one
of whom did his part in the great
struggle that has practically elimi-
mated this dease from among the
health dangers of the universe. And
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, New
Orleans and all the other great At
lantic ports in this land are safe to-.
day, and San Francisco, Seattle and all
the great ports on the Pacific soon will
be, for DR.. Doty, Surgeon General wy.
man and the army and doctors say so.
and when they say so it is true-the

Woman Chosen CITY Alderman.

Mrs. H. j. Gates has just been elect
ed one of the six aldermen of Magee,
Tenn. For several years she has
taken an active interest in the educa-
tional work of her town. and wanted
to be elected alderman because it
would help her in this work. She is
reported to have made about the most
aggressive campaign ever witnessed in
Magee, if not in Tennessee. The town
people seemed pleased with her cleo
ton, and even those who voted against
her believe she will make first-class

ORIGINATED IN INDIA.

Now, how did this cholera get into
the dominions of the car? DR.. Doty
knows. He knows that it originated
in India, and for more than year
that globe in his office has told every
week the story of its slow but sure adj
vance on the capital of the Russian
empire. The American health officers
watched the advance of the disease
like hawks. They knew the Russian
system of combating it was not the
best, and they feared all along that it
was going to reach st. Petersburg and
maybe Libau, Russia's one great At
lantic port. So far Libau has escaped,
But DR.. Doty and his assistants are
watching that city, and they know how
everybody in that city is getting along,
so far as their health is concerned.
The other day the Korea, one of the
few transatlantic lines that fly the
Russian flag, steamed into New York
from Libau, with about 400 Russian
immigrants on board, and what hap

ANEW YORK.-In the office
XII of Or. Alyah II. Doty
AWA9 health officer of the port OF
%9ANSN New York, at quarantine,
ON there is big globe, such
N@X as is used in the public
schools, that is covered
with little tacks. Every one Of thes4
lacks indicates that at the place
where it is sticking there is to-day, or
was yesterday, a case of the cholera,
the bubonic plague, or the yellow
fever, and DR.. Doty, the officials Of che
United States marine hospital service
in Washington and the army doctors
know all about every one of those
cases, where it came from, how many
there are that are affected, whether it
is a mild case or a bad one, and ex-
actly what the health authorities in
those particular sections of the world
are doing to combat it.
When the visitor to DR.. Doty's Of
flee hears the story those little tacks
tell he realizes what a splendid sys-
TEN it is that guards the western
world from the Asiatic scourges, and
how impossible it almost is for any of
those scourges ever to get foothold
in this country. But great and thorough
as is the work of American medical
authorities, they are ably seconded by
the work Of the foreign departments,
and to-day every citizen of every part
of this country owes debt that can
never be paid to the splendid men of
Germany and Japan whose work holds
in check the spread Of the cholera and
the plague-one guarding the western
tier against the advance of the dis

the pilgrims come in contact with peo-
pie of other countries. The result is
the spread of cholera and the plague,
