 That tuberculosis was prevalent among the Indians before white men came to America was shown by pr. Stephen J. Maher, 6 member of the special comission for the investigation of tuberculosis in Connecticut, and widely known as an expert medical in- vestigator, in a formal report present. ed before a session of that body. As the early Indians had no domestic cat tie, these facts are cited by medical experts to dispute the contention of tu- berculln faddists that bovine tubercu- IosIs is communicable to human beings.
 Further. pr. Maher has shown that human tuberculosis has appeared In all parts of rural Connecticut, whether highland, iowland OF plain. and that density of the population of the vari- ous counties bears no constant relation to the tuberculosis death rate of these districts. In his report pr. Maher said In part:
 Tt seems to be the general belief nowadays that the first consumptives in Connecticut. as in all New England and in all America. were white men {. But were they? Daniel Gookin, one of the earlier settlers of New England. has written: Before the English came among the Indians there were two dis orders from which they most generally dled-the consumption and the fever He also adds; Consumption Is frequent among the Indians. and sundry die oi 1t that live not with the English.
 'Francis. in his life of John Eliot gives as his opinion that consumption seems to have been common malady among the New England natives Dr A. B Holder. in a notable series oi papers. says: T do not believe that al any time in their history the Indians ] of North America have been free from | consumption.' Tuberculosis is COCK tensive with the Indian race. The sin | gle tribe that may be said to be free from this disease I have been unable | to find after diligent search"

appreciation of virtues, which had hitherto only bored him, had not in- cluded an admiration for Henry's par ticular merits, and the prospect of sud- denly rising from the dead and turn ing him out of his inheritance was not altogether an unpleasant one.
 But he soon dismissed all such trivial thoughts from his mind. There, In the great solitudes of the wilderness. 1t was impossible to plan tricks like q spitefui school boy. He knew that he had to do that which was right. This much. at any rate, had he learned in his diversity.
 He decided to write to Lady Betty. and send the letter by the caravan. And then. In years time. he would return hint self. and play a mans part in the busy world, which now seemed as far away from him as the moon it. self.
 Here, at any rate, was peace. He turned his face away from the desert and watched the only signs of life in that vast solitude of sand and sea The flare of the lamp seemed only to inten- sify the darkness. A few small figures moved in a band of light between two vast shadows. The murmur of voices came to his ears like the sound of wind In the trees. Was there ever place so well designed by God to keep man
 unspotted from the world.
 Then suddenly there came a call from
 the silence of the desert, and an an swering shout from the group of men under the trees. And at once the whole settlement hummed like a hive of bees Men came forward with faring lamps and the women's voices rose to shrill cries of excitement. But Gaunt listen ed for other sounds that he expected to hear from the desert, and soon he heard the soft thud of hoofs on the sand and the voices of men.

Dresden July 1s.--derman psycholo- gists are puzzled over the extraordi- nary case of Crete Beier, the pretty blue eyed daughter of the late burgo- master of Freiberg, who is apparently quite sane, but has been convicted after confessing deliberatelymurderin 6 her fiance and forging two wills and other documents
 The girl has been sentenced to death but petition is being circulated for the commutation of the sentence.
 This extraordinary girl murdered her fance Engineer Pressisr. by mixing cyanide of potassium with a glass of cognac and then made his death more certain by firing two revolver shots into his mouth as he co cooliy confessed how she committed the crime but did not seem to feel the slightest remoree. She listened to the death sentence with the same calm composure she had shown during the trial
 The mental experts under. whose care she had been placed gave re markable evidence of her behavior while in an asylum. She was not only absolutely normal in her bearing but displayed an unusually bright intellect and even evidence of humanefeelings. No traces of hysteria, neurasthenia, or epilepsy were to be found in her.
 The only explanation of her crimes is that she became the victim of an uncontrollable passion. "brainstorm" Pressller out of pique because of . quarrel with another man.

 Behind him in the settlement there was faint stir of excitement. On or dinary nights every one would have been asleep an hour after sunset. but tonight the men talked together in low measured voices. and the women twittered like sparrowE High up on one of the plafns fiared a rude lamp q piece of twisted cotton rag planted in bowl of fish oil. It hickered and smoked as the faint night breese came up from the sea but 1t gave enough light to serve It's purpose. It was set as a beacon to guide the caravan across the desert.
 He had much to occupy his thoughts as he watched there on the border of the great sand ocean. He had not yet decided whether to stay in the desert or whether he oughtsto return to civii- ization. He realized all that he owed to his present life. If 1t had not ef- fected a radical change in his morals. It had at any rate given him a sound mind and healthy body.

 This particular visit. however, was of more than usual interest. and formed The subject of few quiet and reserved eonjectures. For Ben Asar, the young est son of the old patriarch. was going to return to the camp after the absence of two years, and he was returning with a new wife. and 1t was reported that she was of great beauty. She ha0 cost him twenty pearls of the finest nudity. and these had been remitted at the last departure of the caravan.
 1t was hardly to be expected that Sir Richard Gaunt. in spite of the change that had come over his mind, could regard the approach of the vis- itors with the calmness of his com rades. It's advent was the first link in the chain which reached to England. He could now return to his home. or, if he wished to stay in the desert, he could send a letter which would tell Lady Betty that he was etill alive.
 Day after day, when his work was done. he would go to the edge of the desert and watch the golden sand change to dull brown plain, and see the shadows of night come tearing up from inc east. And even after the whole scene had faded into darkness, he would sit there alone and look up at the stars, and listen for the first sounds of the caravan.
