He is a man without a coun-
try-a citizen who does not bear
his fathers name-the forgetful
son of a Penniless alien.
In the late ffties of the last CEN
fury Capt. Henry Pease came
into his little home port on Mar
tha's Vineyard aboard his sea-
going whaleship. The man who
peeled the potatoes and washed
up the pots and kettles for the
cook of the galley was Jacinthro,
a Portuguese who had been pick;
ed up in Fayal in the Western
islands. The fellow, going ashore,
was given the use of a small hut
on Pease's Point Way, at Edgar
town. There William Jacinthro
began work as a cobbler.
But the man was without am
bition, sickly, understood and
weak. Following his inevitable
failure at a trade, his benefactor
secured for him the position of
steward on the Eagles Wing
one of the little steamers run
ming between New Bedford and
the island towns.
On this boat Jacinthro met and
later married Amelia, a Swarthy
scrub woman, both continuing to
work until the small craft was
burned at the mouth of the Prov
idence river, when they trans
shipped to the steamer Monahan-
sett. Again the old whaling cap
tain came to the rescue, and Viii
liam with Amelia Jacinthro were
re-installed in the tiny cottage on

RINGWoRM SPREAD ON FACE

Campbell, Va.-"I have been trou-
bled with ringworm on the right side
of my face for six or eight years. 1t
began with just very small pimples in
spots and continued to spread more
every year until it covered the right
side of my face. 1t was red, rough and
in circles, and itched and burned very
much. 1t was sore when scratched
my face and it worried me SO much l
couldn't keep from scratching. It
looked very bad; would hate to go
out while it was on my face. Every
one noticed 1t and some would ask
what It was.

HlnDus WORK WITH TOES
Natives Of India Use Feet to Assist
Them In Various
Lahors.

AMMAN, India.-Manual skill is con.
fined to no particular quarter of the
globe, but the ability cleverly to ham
die the toes In various industrial pur-
suits is to be found only among the
Hindus. In the native quarters Of
many towns of India it is no uncom-
mon sight to behold butcher seize .
piece of meat in his hands and cut 1t
In two with stroke of knife held
between the first and second toes.
Sometimes the Indian shoemaker
uses no last, but turns the unfinished
shoe with his feet, while his hands
are busily engaged In shaping It,.
Then, too, the carpenter holds with
his great toe the board he Is cutting;
and the wood-turner handles his tools
as skillfully with his toes as he does
with his fingers.
Scientific men who have given this
matter study assure US that the use Of
the feet and toes as aids to the hands
and fingers in labor is not the result
of mere practice. Some authorities
venture to suggest that the skillful
use of the toes by Hindus is due to
the fact that the Indian foot is quite

TOO MANY STATES NEGLIGENT
Fail to Report Cases OF Tuberculosis
or to Class II as Communities
BILE, Infectious Disease.


OF the SO states where reporting of
all living cases of tuberculosis Is re-
quired, adequate or reasonably COM
plete records are kept in not more
than eight. Twenty states and terri
tories have no laws or regulations re-
quiring the reporting of tuberculosis,
and In most of these states consump-
ton Is not classed officially by the
health authorities as communicable,
infectious disease. These states are:
Arizona, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois. Iowa,
Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nevada,
New Mexico, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Ohio, Philippine Islands, South
Dakota and Wyoming. Special laws
requiring reporting and registration
Of tuberculosis have been passed in
Colorado, Connecticut, District of Co
lumbia, Kansas, Maine, Maryland,
Michigan, Mississippi, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode
Island and Vermont. In twenty other
states, tuberculosis is included In the
lists of infectious diseases that must
be reported by physicians

different from the western foot in
anatomical conformation. 1t appears
that the Hindu ankle and the articu-
lation Of the back of the foot permit
of considerable lateral motion. Also
the toes possess an extraordinary mo-
bility; the great toe can be moved
freely in all directions, and the first
and second toes are separated by a
wide space, sometimes as much as
flve-eighths of an inch across at the
base Of the toes and two inches at
their extremities.
Furthermore, the Hindu hip articu-
lation is peculiar, circumstance that
makes easier the use of the toes In
handling objects, since the Hindu may
sit in squatting posture much more
comfortably than the Occidental.
Among the natives Of AMMAN there
is found a similar formation of the
feet and toes; but this Is not, as might
naturally be supposed, a common
thing among barbarous and savage
tribes. Nothing quite similar, for in
stance, is found among the American
Indian tribes, the negroes, the Fue-
gians or the Arabs.
The toe facility of the Hindu natur-
ally brings to mind also the cleverness
Of the monkey in the handling of it's
toes; but the investigators point out
that the Hindu foot bears no resem-
blance to the foot of an ape or mon
key. The/great toe is not opposed to
the others like thumb, as in the
case of the monkey. So the pedal
dexterity of the Indian native is not
to be regarded as an indication Of
Simian descent.

Would Have Felt That They Did
Really Need the Attention.

Yes, he and me has worked side by
side for years, and we were so alike
we couldn't tell each other apart. We
both brooded great deal. too. No
money in this business now"
Whats the reason?"
Prices too low. Unless a customer
takes shampoo 1t doesn't pay to
shave or haircut. Poor Jim, l caught
him trying to cut a customers throat
because he refused shampoo, so l
had to have the poor fellow locked up.
Makes me sad Sometimes I feel sor-
