War on Typhoid Fever.

Once more the relation of typhoid
fever to the water supply has been
demonstrated. During the flood OF
some weeks ago the Hudson river at
Albany, N. Y. rose a foot above the
city filtration beds, and the people re.
ceived the untreated water of the rfv.
err containing the sewage of places
upstream. An outbreak of typhoid fol.
lowed, and It was found that rs per
cent. Of the cases were in families
where the warning to boil the water
for drinking had not been needed. The
main reservoir was then sterilized
chemically. and the typhoid ceased.
Modern medicine has done great
things in making preventable what in
other days were reckoned to be the
visitations Of God. Our grandfathers
wondered at the prevalence of ty.
phoid after floods, but we know that
the trouble comes from the contami,
nation Of water supplies. and 80 lives
are saved where once human beings
were doomed. Year by year the sci
ence Of sanitation 10 reducing the peril

1urkish Holldaxa.

In nothing is the natural soberness
Of the Turk more manifest than in his
holidays. He keeps fewer of them
than his Christian compatriot, and
most Of them he celebrates in such a
way that an outsider would scarcely
suspect the fact. This is partly, per-
haps, a matter Of temperament aud
partly because Islam has not yet
passed q certain stage Of evolution. A
holiday. that is, is still holy day.
Secular and patriotic festivals are
everywhere Of comparatively recent
origin. In Turkey, where church and
state are one to a degree now un-
known in western countries, there was
no real national holiday until 1909.
Then the first anniversary of the re-.
establishment of the constitution was
celebrated on the twenty.third Of
July July 10, old style): A highly
picturesque celebration it was, too, in
