A Tragedy In Writing.

Illegible handwriting, which has Civ.
en- rise to so many comedies, led to
tragedy in the case Of Bacher. a
musical enthusiast of the last century
who devoted several years to the COM
position Of history Of Viennese mu-
sic. His task finished, he submitted
the manuscript to the Austrian i'm
perial academy, which he had been led
to believe would defray the cost of its
publication After three months his
manuscript was returned. Despite
their best efforts the members had
been unable to decipher 1t. Bacher
then endeavored to have his work
copied, but every professional copyist
who undertook the task had to confess
himself baifled. He thereupon at
tempted debating the work, only to
find that even he could not decipher
it, and, hcartbroken at the discovery
that his years of toll had proved fruit
less, he attempted suicide and finished
his days in lunatic asylum.

Odd French English.

A correspondent has been studying
English pronunciation in French die

picks out few examples to show how
much effort is necessary for a French
man to acquire true articulation Of

a surprisingly long list of English
phrases current in France. Broken

"bro-k'n-daoun." Dead heat" is rem
dered as "did-hith," which is ingenious,
but hardly correct. "Ai-laif'' is not
bad attempt for "high life," although
the aspirate is missing. "Self govern
ment" looks an even more imposing
political ideal as "self gheuvernmentt,"
and the word shocking" is quite ap-
plicable when rendered "chok-inn-que."

Ravages Of Tuberculosis Are
Surely Being Lessened By
State Supervision,

That the State aid extended TO tubei-

Ing Ohe really needy is evidenced by
careful statistics that Health Com
missioner Dixon has just compiled.
These statistics which are based upon
a total Of 0.363 patients examined at
the dispensaries, Of whom 6.72S were
found to have tuberculosis, during
period OF seventeen months ending
December 81, 1908, show the average
family income 10 the homes from which
these patients came was S2463 per
month. The average number of per-
sons in the family was 43S and the
average per capita income was $500.
"These facts are particularly crafty
ing" said Mr.. Dixon. with the
thousands of tuberculosis patients
whom we are asked to help it is quite
possible that occasionally the States
charity Is imposed upon. We are fully
justified however, by the tabulated
records, In drawing the conclusion that
the really needy poor among Pennsyl-
vania's unfortunate victims OF tnber-
culosis are the ones that are being
helped, just as the law making the
appropriation contemplated.
An interesting study of the possible
source OF infection can be made from
the dispensary statistics. In 2, ,404 cases
there was every reason to believe
that the disease was contracted In the
home from another member OF the
family. This shows how important is
the work which the visiting nurses OF
the dispensaries are doing in teaching
the members OF the household how to
guard against being infected by one OF
the family who has the disease.
In Ala cases the possible source of
infection was fellow employe. Fully
alive to the danger from this source
the State Department of Health has
communicated direct with all the large
employers OF labor throughout the
State, urging the necessity of frequent
medical inspection and calling atten-
tiOn to the States dispensaries where
suspected cases among the poor will
be examined at any time free.

From the Madisonian:
The Madisonian congratulates the
Times on the stand taken by it in re-
gard to the tobacco habit of the
school boys Of this city. 1t is dis
gushing to see boys scarcely IN their
teens walking along the street smok-
Ing pipe. This newspaper cannot
understand why the authorities and
the parents allow this sort of thing.
1t is certainly disgrace to the com
mnnity. In this country, with its
pure air, pure water and invigorating
climate, the boys should grow to
perfect specimens Of physical man
hood, but we are sorry to say they
are not. That parent loves his child
best who makes that child respect
parental authority.
