"Typhoid Carriers"

There is danger of transmission by
the walking typhoid" patient, who is
not i'll enough to get the disease dag
| nosed, or who is too courageous to
submit to the bed and treatment. Then
there is the typhoid carrier" such as
| the cook who has never herself had
the disease, but who, nevertheless, in
the customary round of her engage
ments. infected a number of house
holds-27 patients in five years; in
another case virulent typhoid bacilli
were found, though the subject had
suffered his attack Of the disease forty
years before. Also must be considered
the typhoid contact" who has become
contaminated by his association or his
ministrations in typhoid cases. In the
Washington epidemic of last spring it
was concluded that the national cap
ital has a good water supply and ex-
cellent sanitary supervision; despite
which it has a death rate among the
highest in the United States. The wa
| ter supply was found to be responsible
for little if any of the disease. Care
full comparison Of the prevalence Of
! flies and of typhoid cases could not
elicit a relationship. Milk was the
source in several localized epidemics,
in one of which the infection was
! traced back from two dairies to one
| farm, the owner of which (himself in
good health) was a typhoid carrier.
Personal contact with the sick was in
this investigation found to be a large
factor in the evolution of the epidemic.
The typhoid carrier retains the germ
in the gall bladder, where it multi
plies, continually dscharging bacilli
| into the intestines.-American Review

Settling a vexed Problem.-"Char-
lie" Lands, who is famous throughout
Indiana as a wit and story teller,
thinks he has read the most original
Shakespearean criticism ever written,
According to him, it appeared in a
paper published in Rising Sun, Ind,
and was called forth by the produc-
ton there of Hamlet" by wander
ing company. In Rising Sun, Shakes
peare was a novelty, and the little
theatre, the only one in town, was
crowded to the doors for the perform
ance.
The next morning the daily chron-
icle of the happenings in the village
printed this:

His Frankness Won.-The late Sen
ator Dolliver said that in politics II
paid to be frank and honest with the
people.
My predecessor in the senate" he
said, was John H. Gear. On one oc-
casion the prohibition spirit was run
ming high, and a public meeting was
held, with a we'll known Quaker as
chairman. Gear was invited to the
meeting. He accepted the invitation
The old Quaker called him to the plat
form and said:
I'VE learn that thou dost not be-
long to any temperance society and
also that thou dost drink liquor at thy
discretion. Is this true?'
Every word of it is true replied
Gear, but did you ever hear of my
doing anything dishonorable?'
May, Mr.. Gear replied the old
Quaker chairman-'nay, we have new
er heard anything else to thy discred-
it. Thy frankness is more to be COM
mended than thy HABITS. But thou
hast not lied to us, and we will sup
port thee
And they did," said Senator Dol
liver, and elected him too."-Wash-

him accurate information. He had
unbounded faith in the western half
of our continent. He looked beyond
our shores and saw the time when the
worlds commerce would be on the
Pacific Ocean between countries whose
shores were washed by Pacific waves.
He made a great speech in the sem
ate in favor of his national highway
bill. This bill provided for a grand
national highway from st. Louis to
San Francisco. His speech shows his
knowledge of the west, and that he
derived his knowledge from traders,
trappers, hunters and explorers. He
said:
But these traders do not write
books and make maps, but they en-
able other people to do 1t. There are
plenty of these men in the great west
at present-men who know every pass
in the mountains every ford in the
rivers. every spot fit for cultivation,
and the best and the shortest way
from any one point to another-who
knew every buffalo road and every
Indian war trail between the Missis-
sippi and the Pacific Ocean-and these
men can go and work out road from
the frontier of Missouri to the Bay
of San Francisco as fast as horse
can trot."
The old dream Of the benefits to
mankind from the navigation Of the
Northwest Passage was thus sought
and secured by straight westward
route through the heart of the land.
The result was to come not through
the science of navigation, but by
craftsmanship. The navigator was
the worlds first geographer. but the
statesman is the last and greatest
geographer. Two of these marked
the opening of the nineteenth century
jefferson and Napoleon. These
two statesmen geographers made
maps, not on paper, but on conti-
nents, with rivers and oceans for
boundaries. Both Jefferson and Ma
poleon knew the worth Of the map
they made west Of the Mississippi
river in 1903. Jefferson lived and died
east fthe Allegheny Mountains, but
he seemed to feel a magnetic force
body feels the attractive presence of
another. Hardly had our government
acquired dominion over Louisiana
when President Jefferson sent his
private secretary to travel through the
new annexation. The Lewis and
Clark expedition was the forerunner
of the achievements of such ex-
plorers and travellers as Fremont and
Gilpin and Bridger. These were the
practical geographers Of our country.

ion they saw with their eyes and

Wan Face Not Republiean.-A noted
politician made the statement in a
speech, that he had been among the
people so much in his campaigns that
he could tell a mans politics by just
looking at him. At the close of the
speech he was asked to tell the politics
of the men as they came forward to
shake hands with him. The first man
approached with broad smile.
This man is a good old-fashioned
Democrat" said the politician.
Correct" said the man.
To the next he said: You are a

The next man was a thin-faced hag-

Self Sacrifice.-A story is told of
Rangeley Lakes guide who, while
working on a log drive, fell into the

He struggled for while, and at last
dizzy and nearly exhausted, managed
to grasp a big log and hold on to it.
The current was so strong and swift
that it carried his body under the LOG
until his feet stuck out on the other
side.
Just as a comrade grasped him by
the shoulders he caught sight of his
own feet protruding on the other side
of the log.

The university Extension lectures
constitute an educational movement

universally accepted in the United

Society for the Extension Of University
Teaching arranged to supply lectur-
ers of established reputation in al
most every desired subject and also
established local centers in various
cities, under the direction of which
courses Of lectures were arranged.
These lectures which were generally
admitted to be first class In most re-

which have become SO numerous

There is a growing tendency on the
part Of many churches to have the

rather than religious. One of the fore

years ago originated the idea of de-
