Davenport wholesale district by three
robbers, and that he loaned the men
his rig and assisted them in making
away with their booty. and that he
purchased some of the stuff from
them. 1t is claimed that he bought -
tubs of butter. worth Sos wholesale

Tho Word erpte.nue.

~Grotesque" is derived curiously
from the word "grotto." Ancient
Roman families often had artificial
.grottoes in their grounds, and
these were decorated with quaint
paintings and whimsical figures,
such as We should term gro
tesque." Commonly these were
fanciful and incongruous combina-
tons of parts of plants or animals.
Conspicuous examples of the gro
tesque in classical art were the cen
taur, a horses body Joined to a
mans head and shoulders; the grif-
fin, monster combining a lion and
an eagle, and Scylla, a sea monster
with u woman's head and fsh's
tail, peril, as ancient poets sang, to
mariners sailing between Sicily and
Italy. In medieval times her place
IN grotesque art was taken by the
mermaid, more poetical fancy.
The middle ages used the gro
tesque chiefly in ecclesiastical gar
goyles, the best of which are the
devils" of Notre Dame referred to
IN Victor Hugo's "Quasimodo."
The idea of the devil as man with
horns, hoofs and a tail is probably
drawn from grotesque art.

Looking For a Bargain.

A young man who works in a
Chestnut street store was invited to
his employers home for supper last
night. The purpose of the invita-
ton was to introduce the young
man to the employers daughters.
After supper the old man said:
Eyes, ! am proud of my daugh-
tiers and would like to see them
comfortably married, and as l have
made little money they will not
go penniless to their husbands.
There is Mary, twenty-five years
old and really good girl. 1 shall
give her $1,000 when she marries.
Then comes Rose, who won't see
thirty-fve again, and 1 shall give
her $4,000. And the man who
takes Eliza, who is forty, will have
$4,000 with her."
The visitor reflected a moment

until at a deal the loser received

nailed by the forefnger laid on the

Wesley.

The edible portion of nuts, with

LEPRosY
The Modern Disease Is pifssrsnt From
That Of oIdsn Times

That Of oIden Times
There is possibly no disease the
presence of which inspires greater
fear In the public mind than does
leprosy. This is perhaps IN a meas
ure due to the loathsomeness Of the
disease in its later stages, but it is
in most cases simply fear Of a
name.
The disease or diseases spoken
Of as leprosy in the Bible are pop
ularly supposed to be the same as
the leprosy of today, and the eyi-
dent fear the leper inspired in the
people of old is held to justify the
dread with which he is still regard
ed. The Biblical descriptions do
not, however, fit modern leprosy,
so that, whether the fear Of the
:1eper" Of olden times was or was
not justified, it should not be al
lowed to color the view with which
the leper of today is regarded.
Leprosy is indeed an infectious
disease-that is to say, it is due to
the presence in the tissues of ba-
cilfus known generally as Hansen's
bacillus, after the Norwegian ply
stefan who discovered it. But
whether it is contagious under the
ordinary conditions of modern life,
in temperate climates at least, is
held BY specialists in diseases of
the skin to be very doubtful.
Of the few lepers known to the
physicians in all the, larger cities
some are cared for IN hospitals and
others live at home and visit the
clinics or the doctors office from
time to time. Yet an instance in
which another person has acquired
the disease from any of these lepers
is unknown.
There are many diseases more to
be dreaded than leprosy because
more rapidly fatal, more painful or
more contagious. Yet none of
them, except perhaps smallpox, is
more feared.
The illogical terror of leprosy
may be the cause of great cruelty
to those afflicted. There are thou
sands of people who show culpable
Indifference to the enforcement of
the laws against splitting in pubic
places, although they know full
well that the success of. the crusade
against tuberculosis hinges largely
upon care in this regard. Yet these
same persons would fly in horror
from any place that had harbored
leper.-Youth's Companion.
