phoid fever as to any disease known
to our day. Thucydides, the ancient
historian, who himself survived the
disease, left behind him a description
of its terrors so scientifically exact a.
to be of value to the medical pro-
fession throughout all time. The vic
Tins of this dread disease either died
on the seventh or eight day, or sur
vived to find themselves frequently
worse off than had they succumbsd to
its ravages. Many became blind or
lost the use of their hands and feet,
while others we're totally deprived Of
their memories, recognizing neithar
themselves nor their friends.
In vain did physicians try their
remedies, and in so doing contracted
the dread disease themselves. Some
persons resorted, without avail, to
charms and incantations. Many as
serted that the invading Peloponne-
SLAMS had poisoned their cisterns Of
fresh water; others that 1t was the
wrath Of the gods visited upon them;
hence the supplications with solemn
professions held in the temples. When
no help came the city was abandoned
t. despair. Those attacked lost their
courage which only hastened the NAL
ady. At first families cared for their
sick, but as these invariably took the
disease, they fled at length In terror,
leaving the dead or dying uncared for.
These were found later on victims Of
the disease which had caused them to
revert again to that strongest prime
val instinct, self preservation, piled
high in the streets or in the temples
where they had been taken while be-
seeching the gods. Funeral pyres
burneds brightly throughout the night
several bodies being consumed on
one sepulchral pile.
AS property and life became as
sphemeral as the period of existence
allotted to the May fly, the bonds Of
law and morality were relaxed. Many
abandoned themselves to the pleas
ures of the senses that they might
grasp one little portion Of joy ere
death o'ertook them. Many helped
themselves to the property Of others,
forgetting honor and every higher
emotion in the one absorbing hope Of
drawing future sorrow in present en-
joyment.
Pericles lost all that were dear to
him during this terrible plague, and,
weakened by the sorrow and by the
duties incident to the state in SO trou-
blous a period, he himself survived
but short time.

Talents which are neglected are ta-
ken away, and nature eventually de-
prives people of organs and members
that they abuse or fail to use. Prof.
Starr, the Chicago university anthro-
pologist, in recent lecture declared
that If human beings do not change
their habits the race will after while
become hairless, toothless and toe
less. Hats are making us bald, tight
shoes are making life unbearable for
our toes, and cooked and tender foods
are rendering our teeth less useful.
London recently celebrated the ff-
tieth anniversary Of the first under
ground railway built to facilitate pas
senger transportation in a city. The
first section of the London under
ground" was opened to the public in
1863. The locomotive Is a six-wheeled
tank engine designed to bottle up its
steam and smoke, so as to keep the
air in the tunnel clear. Steam loco
motion did not give way to electricity
in London subways until 1906.
In a recent lecture in Washington,
Prof. J. w. Gridley, q government
scientist, told Of the unmistakable re-
mains Of prehistoric camels which
have been found in northern Ameri-
Gu. The camel, he believes, originated
on this continent and found its way
to Asia and Africa by way Of thu
Alaskan isthmus which then connected
the two hemisphercs.

Merciful heavens, listen to what
Gertrude Atherton says Of the gentler
sex: Some day, when all Of the non-
sense and sentimentality have died
out of the world, it will be universally
admitted that men and women are
made up Of the same ingredients and
that the preponderance of good or
bad, weakness or strength, is in the
Individual, not the sex. When women
have achieved full liberty--in other
words, fully found themselves, and,
increasingly confident in their SWELL
ing ranks, stand squarely on their
own two feet--they will be just as ra-
pacious, just as dishonest, just ~
sharp and overreaching as conditions
and the law permit. The weaker or
less resourceful will drop to the un-
derworld as they do today (where they
will continue to divide the honors with
men), but those women Of brains and
character that deliberately select the
open for their talents instead Of the
home will fight man at his own game,
and, 1t may be rout him, dispossess
him, eat him up.
