THE AIKEN LEPROSY CASE.
Comment Of Boston Medical journal
Oh the Famous Case.

The Roston Medical and Surgical
Journal of March oath publishes the
following under the heading of
"Wise Precautions and Foolish Fears
Of Leprosy:"
For the past sixteen months Miss
Mary V. Kirk, OF Aiken, S. c., has
been quarantined at her homo In
that city for leprosy acquired some
years ago while serving as mission
airy In Brazil. 1t has now been voted
by the city council OF Aiken to build
special cottage for her permanent
isolation, to pay her for her own
house, which will be confscated and
destroyed. with its contents and to
allow her in addition, a specified sum
annually for the remainder of her
life, or until such time as she may
be considered by competent authority
as cured.
The popular terror of leprosy,
which is out Of all proportion to it's
prevalence or the likelihood of It's
general spread, is probably a survival
partly Of the wide spread medieval
epidemic Of the disease in Continent
tai Europe, partly OF the semi-relig-
ious horror Of 1t developed in our
ancestors by their more habitual fa-
miliarity with the sacred Scriptures.
An amusing instance Of this, unrea-
soning terror has appeared in the SEN
sational alarms lately circulated by
the daily press relative to the sup
posed spread of leprosy through the
use Of so-called hair rats. Such ia
bles may, however, prove Il blessing
In disguise. If they lead to the dis
continuance Of custom as artisti-
cally unesthetic as it Is hygienically
abominable in the women by whom
1t Is practiced.

YES, HE WANTED 1T BADLY.
Mark Twain Served as Soldier in the
Confederate Army.

A section chief IN the pension bu-
rea has preserved copy of a charac-
teristic Mark Twain letter, addressed
TO Gen. John G. Black, now president
OF the Civil Service Commission, but
at the time this communication was
received was Commissioner of PEN
sions. Senator Hawley had called up
the case os Samuel Clemens, n soldier
who had disability from rheumatism
and sore eyes," incurred in the mill
tary service.
When the pension was allowed
Senator Hawley, in accordance with
the usual custom, was notified. He
had probably never heard of the SOL
der, the request for call up and
the filling OF an inquiry slip being,
as a rule, part of the duty of Il
Senator's private secretary When
the circular from the pension office
came under his eye he could think of
no soldier named Clemens.
He jumped to the conclusion that
the pension was intended for his
friend and fellow citizen, Samuel l..
Clemens, OF Hartford, Conn, and ad-
vised him accordingly. The genial
huniorist said that there had been q
'miXup' and inclosed Senator Haw-
ley's note I'm the letter to Commits

AlsaPoRCUPINE FAMILY.
How the Mother Trailed Her Young
to Room Where they were Kept.

Some workmen who were employ
ed cutting down trees in wood
found nest Of five little porcupines
In little hollow, says Our Dumb
Animals. Seeing neither OF the ami
mails parents and that the little por-
cupines were hungry they took them
distance Of four miles aud pre-
sented them to their employers chill
dren, who kindly cared for the ami
mails.
Late in the evening the house dog
set VI great howl outside. The
girl@4ned the door, when the ex-
cited~dog rushed In with bleeding
nose. Closely behind big porcu-
pine walked quickly through the
hall. The dog was furious, but the
porcupine shifted her way to the
door without needing the dog at all.
The door was open and she trotted
through another room into the next
door and from there to the box
where her babies were. She crawled
into the box and laid herself by her
little ones, talking soothingly and
nursing them to sleep.
The next evening the dog began
the same racket, and when the girl
went out he was rolling big ball
OF quills around in great dismay.
She took the ball in her apron and
carried 1t to the box. 1t turned out
to be Mr.. Porcupine, who also want
ed to be with his family.
The children took the reunited
famlX to the barn. Here the porcu-
pine5 seemed happy all winter ,.1d
were SO tame that they often crawl
ed into the children's laps to be pet
ted. Toward spring the door of the
barn was left open one night and in
the morning the porcupine family
was missing. How it happened that
the door was opened the children
never understood, but think their
mother thought the porcupines want
ed 10 be free again.
