A HINDU IDOL.
Its Strange History Caused Mme. Car

When Nine. Carnot, widow of Sadi

ment. This was to the effect that a
certain small Hindu idol carved from
a hard stone which would be found
among her property must be taken out
and crushed until completely destroyed.
Many marveled at this apparently sim
gular request, for the idol seemed
harmless, ugly little thing, but her in
structiops were carried out to the let

The idol had been presented to Sadi
Carnot years before he had ever
thought of the presidency of France by
friend who had brought it from In

legend attached to it which asserted
that whosoever would retain it in his
possession would rise to the fullest
height Of power in his chosen profess

the zenith of his career.
M. Carnot traced the history Of the
idol and found that for 800 years the
rulers who had possessed it had all
died either in battle or by assassination
from stab wounds. Yet he laughed at
the story, called the facts adduced by
his search mere chain of condolences
and retained the idol. He died by a
dagger in the hands of an assassin;

JAPANESE HAVE HO0KWORM .
AMERICAN AGENTS MAKE M
PORTANT DISCOVERY.
Seventy Out of Every Hundred In
tending Emigrants to United States
Have Disease.

Washington, June 17.-Surgeon
General Rupert Blue has just made
an important discovery through gov
ernment agents of the public health
service working abroad. 1t has been
found that hookwOrm disease, which
heretofore has been supposed to be
most prevalent among the cotton
mills Of the South has a good foot
mold in Japan.
During the months OF November
and December, 1912, among the in
tending emigrants from Japan to
the United States 1t was found that
20 out of every 100 were found tc
have the hookworm disease. Some
cases were detained in Yokohoma
under treatment by the native doc
tors for many weeks before being
pronounced cured, and many became
discouraged from long treatment and
returned to their homes in the coun-
try without being cured.
Some emigrants supposed to be
cured and holding certificates Of cure
and freedom from this disease giver
by local practitioners of medicine
were found to be infected upon ar.
rival at American ports A number
of these certificates have been re
turned to this country with a letter
Of inquiry relative to the disease in
Japan from the department of Com
merce and Labor.
Since January 1, 1913, the oHicia
medical officer appointed by tn,
Japanese government has been NOR,
rigid in his Investigations.
The fact that hookworm has sucl
strong hold in Japan as to be pre-
valent in 20 out of every 100 per
sons of that country coming to tn,
United States is we'll worth consider
ing In the opinion of the publ,
health officials.
Hereafter it is quite probable tina
much more attention will be deyot
ed to emigrants on this account tha,
the situation before this time SCENE,
to warrant.
