SAW JUSTICE OF PROTEST.
French Youngsters Proved Themselves
Possessed Of the PoIiteness
Of Their Race.

l found an appeal to the chivalry,
to the grace of manner, to courtesy,
never made in vain in France from
the top to the bottom of society. One
day, while making some sketches in
the street. l was surrounded by a
number of interested children; they
kept dancing in front OF me in their
enthusiasm, getting finally very much
in my way. l addressed a little fell
low, who seemed to be a ringleader,
saying, "Helasl ou est votre politesse
francaise?" He looked at me, then,
with a mocking little grin, he planted
himself in front of me, Tapping his
arms in a clever way like wings,
shrilly shouting, "Oh, Yankee doodle
dooi" / was thoroughly surprised and
amused when he dramatically pulled
his cap over his eyes, pulled up his
cape collar, and folded his arms, be-
coming an absurd but rnmistakable
image of the Little Corporal" as
with bent brows he addressed his COM
rades: Boys, she is right. Fall In
line! Facet March! Fall backl The
French do know how to be polite"
The boys all marched behind me, and
not once did one boy again forget and
obstruct the view.-Harper's Bazaar.

went on. Even scriptural texts, sci
without due caution in public places

Thus, a certain John Jones. the

Cause Of leprosY,

A new tubercular theory as to lep-
rosy was suggested some time ago by
DR.. Charles Z. Macdonald of the army,
who noticed in the Philippines the
same facts as to fish diet which have
long. been held by Hutchinson as the
cause. The present idea is not that
the diet itself is at fault but that
there is an infection from tuberculous
fish-rather startling to be sure, but
not at all improbable.
The matter is of timely interest in
view of the difference of opinion as
to the transmission of bovine tuber
culosis. The vast difference between
bird tuberculosis and the human vari
ETY. has long been known, and 1t raises
the suspicion that there may be very
many kinds Of tubercle bscilli, some
of which produce in man other con
ditions than tuberculosis as we now
consider it.-American Medicine.

Little Trouble in Leads.

built several igloos while delayed by

found where the captain had been held
up by an open lead and obliged to
camp. - fl.ls p.
Fortunately the movement of these
leads was simply open and shut, and 1t

the trail seriously.
While the captain. Marvin. and as I
found later. Borup. had been delayed
by open leads. we seemed to bear q
charm and with no single lead/w we
delayed more than a couple OF hours.
Sometimes the ice was fast and firm
enough to carry us across; z7metimes
a short detour. sometimes a brief halt
for the lead to close. sometimes an Inn
