LEPROSY IN NEW YORK.

DR.. Gottheir finds that there is much
more leprosy in New York than is gen
orally suspected. He has seen several lep-
ers from time to time on the street or in
the cars. He tells of one woman, a very
marked case, If one may judge from the
photograph, who has had the disease fifteen
years and knows what it is. All her chill
dren have been born since the disease be-
gan, and the family have lived in one room
in most unsanitary conditions, YET neither
husband nor the children have contracted
the disease. Her neighbors have no fear
Of it. The woman herself keeps a green
grocery, and handles the vegetables which
perhaps dozens or scores of people eat
tuberculosis is undoubtedly transmissi-
BILE. and yet we permit cOnsumptives every
day and everywhere TO do things which
we know endaHSer the health OF others.
There is very serious question whether lep-
rosy under any condition is as transmissi-
bic rs tuberculosis, and certainly so in this
country, and yet one supposed leper is
bounded like criminal and deprived of
even the comforts OF association with his
own family.-Dr. G.. II. Heald. in Life and
Health.

and sleep while travelling.
Late in the summer Pocono attracts the
famous Pocono Pines Assembly, a pioneer
among summer intellectual gatherings,
which brings a delightful body of men and
women TO the various hotels that abound
in the region.
A couple OF the big hotels have been eX-
perimenting in the last two seasons with a
poultry farm. and one is now in full oper-
alton. providing fresh chickens ducks and
turkeys for the fortunate guests. In the
fall there is fresh venison, too. killed in
the surrounding woods, and altogether,
thanks to accessibility to city markets and
the immediate neighborhood's supplies, the
dweller at Pocono is pretty sure to find a
table set at his hotel that is unusually
good. Prices are moderate at Poconoi
more so than at many resorts that really
have less in attractiveness to offer.
Raising of Flowers an Industry.
Pocono has an industry all its own. in
addition TO its trade of being famous
summer resort One of the chief delights
It affords to the early visitors is that of
seeing the laurel and rhOdodendrons, which
1t sends to metropolitan markets in enOr-
nous quantities, in full bloom. The lovely
rhododendron blossoms are to be seen on
every side, acres and acres of them, and
no lovelier sight can we'll be imagined.
The Stroudsburgs. twin boroughs, bitter
rivals, although divided only by Brodhead' s
Creek, serve as the urban centre for the
tourists and summer visitors who make
their headquarters at PoconO or the Water
Gap hotels, and, easily reached by trolley
or automobile do all they can all summer

stores are there to meet the needs of
those who are away from home, and
amusements of all sorts are provided.

right merrily since April Is, the magic day

enterprise of the good fishermen who have
been thronging to the place been so well
rewarded as this spring.
The trout have made the season here for
years an early one, several of the hotels
always opening in the middle Of April TO
accommodate the rush of anglers. But, like
other mountain resorts, the season is a
long one. and there is never any lack of
patronage for the hotels that wait until
the end of May and the early part of this
month for their opening.
Charms of Lovely Lake Pocono.
Lake Pocono, one of the most beautifully
located bodies of water in the East, invites
all who love the water to partake of all
sorts OF aquatic sports upon its broad sur
face and is a perpetual joy to the eye, to
boot delighting all who come here with its
changing aspects from day TO day.
Mount Pocono is the central point OF the
great automobile highway from Washing
ton and Baltimore TO the north, and the
mountain crossing is made through the
mount and the Water Gap. The automo-
biles run up through York, Harrisburg am
Scranton, finding the best of roads by that
route, and so on into New York State,
through lovely scenery and with the guar
antee OF good roads, no matter how steep

Saratoga Springs has rested for genera

cheerfu1ly that because it was a health and
pleasure resort long before many of the
now more popular places were founded or
even dreamed of, it could always attract its
quota of visitors. But local enterprise has
changed all that. Saratoga Springs has
heard the call of destiny, and has decided
to enter inlo active competition not only
with other American resorts but with the
great foreign spas. like Carlsbad. Bad-Nau-

The season at Saratoga Springs is begin

the month of racing represented the height

PENSIONS FOR DOGS IN ALASKA.

Pensions for the Alaskan dogs are to be recommended to the war de- partment by Brigadier General Ma rion P. Maus, commanding the De partment of the Columbia General Maus. who is directing the American Lake field manoeuvers here. said to- day that during his inspection tour of Alaska, from which place he came di- rect to Cosgrove, he was distressed by the present practice of turning old and disabled dogs adrift.
 These dogs have done worthy serv- ice on the various trails for years, said the general. They afford the only lines of communication between many of the army posts and are used for taking through supplies. There are 300 of these dogs constantly in the service
 AS soon as a dog is disabled or su- perannuated it is turned adrift. There should be some provision for the dogs and I shall earnestly recommend the creation of a fund for properly car ing for them when their service Is ended. ."-Portland OregOnian.

The blow may be a heavy one and life seem dark as night, And yet, "Outside of that" Bill says, things seem to be all right" And when I think how most folks fret when things go cross the grain, And how they rip and tear and say the struggles all in vain, somehow can't help thinking that, though doubly cursed by Care, Bill Green is millions better off than any millionaire.

 District Attorney Bullard knows only too well that no reputable re- publican" will betray General Hitch cocks confidence. Hence his bluff.
 District Attorney Bullard knows that General Hitchcock declined for obviously proper reasons to state pub Iicly what will happen to Arizona's constitution at Washington if it is a constitution spotted with socialism The national administration does not propose to be put in the attitude of saying anything to the people of Ari- zona beyond what is contained in the enabling act itself.
 As we said yesterday the warning Is in the enabling act. It is there for any man to read and understand as he runs by.
 If we want statehood we can have 1t on terms acceptable to Washington. but we cannot have it on terms that are not acceptable
 If District Attorney Bullard were sincerely for statehood and would take pains to learn he could read lily ascertain from reputable republi- cans"-but not as quoting General Hitchcock for publication-just what the situation is at Washington.
