~ Who Continually Looking For Seldom Have
Sympathy Respect Has Strong Resemblance Money Those
EARLY NOT A LEPER
So Says DR.. L. D. Buckley Of New
York

Washington, June 15.-John r. Ear
ly, the supposed leper, who has been
uuarantined here for some months and
who is declared by DR.. l.. ID. Buckley
of New York not to be a leper at all,
NAV yet be removed to New York for
examination and treatment in an insti-
tuition. The statement of DR.. Thorn
as Darlington head of the Department
of Health of New York City, that no
objection would be raised there to the
transfer of EARLY has cleared the way
for the supposed leper's removal If he
will agree to certain conditions impos-
ed by the health authorities of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
DR.. w. c. Woodward, health officer
of the district, will interpose no objec-
ton to Early's removal, provided he
produces satisfactory evidence that
the city and state of New York will
receive him. Early must. however,
permit himself to be examined by
committee of three disinterested ply
sicians, to determine whether or not
he has leprosy.
Early is contending that one of the
three physicians must be Dr. Buckley
but Dr. woodward refuses TO accede
to this, on the ground that DR.. Buck
ley has already declared Early to be
without leprous faint and therefore
would not be disinterested. In case
such a committee repudiated, DR.
Buckley's diagnosis. DR.. Woodward de
clares he would cooperate with Ear
lys friends to have nim removed to
whatever jurisdiction he desired while
If the committee sustained DR.. Buck
ley's finding Early would be free to go
wherever he pleased without restraint
Mrs. Early is now in New York try
ing to get assistance to have her hus-
band removed there. She will visit
Albany before returning to seek per
mission from the State Board of
Health TO have Early transferred.

The Blue Bird.

When nature made the blue bird she
wished to propitiate both the sky and
the earth, SO she gave him the color
of one on his back and the hue of the
other on his breast, and ordained that
his appearance in spring should de-
note that the strife and war between
these two elements was at an end He
Is the peace harbinger; in him the &C.
lestial and the terrestrial strike hands,
and are fast friends. He means the
furrow and he means the warmth: he
means all the soft. waving influences
OF the spring on the one hand, and the
retreating footsteps of winter on the
other. After you have seen the blue
bird you will see no more cold, no
more snow, no more winter. He brings
soft skies and the rudy brown of the
fields. 1t is sure to be a bright March
morning when you first hear his note
and 1t is as II the milder influences up
above had found a voice and let
word fall upon the ear, SO tender is
1t and so prophetic hope tinged with
a regret.-John Burroughs.

How Ono Got His Name.

"An example OF curious Christian
name may be found says a CORE
spondent, nearer your offices than
most of the cases you have printed.
The facts are these. The father OF a
boy baby wished him to be christened
Thomas. The mother favored the
name of Robert. When they arrived
at the church the matter was still
undecided. The father informed the
curate that the child's name was
Thomas.
"'Oh. MOI gasped the mother dis
tressfully.
1.-The curate regarding the woman as
the ruling spirit promptly baptized the
infant Ono.
1.-THE grave of Ono kitchener Is to
be seen in the churchyard of st. Giles

No Drums in the Middle Ages.

AS we come to the Middle Ages,
when the nations of modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we find
that at first, the drum was not used
at all. So. although melody had been
known and practiced for many cen
turnes, rhythm had been quite forgot
ten. For what there is left to. us OF
the music Of the Middle Ages contains
no bars, and we know that 1t was
slowly and monotonously chanted,
without the least accent.
In the eleventh century. however.
things began to improve, more par
ticularly as the Crusaders brought into
Europe all sorts of percussion instru-
ments from the east. Various kinds
of drums, tambourines and cymbals
were then seen in Europe for the first
time since the days Of savages, and
they have been used. with very little
change, ever since.-St Nicholas.
