A Pittsburgher who passed through
Washington on his way to New York
is wondering what kind of specimens
of humanity blow into the national
capital. He says he had taken a Penn
sylvania avenue car going up town
from the station, and he sat next to a
mild-looking old gentleman who
seemed to be wrestling with some Sc
cret sorrow. When the car turned
the corner of Fifteenth street the
shake-up brought the old fellow out
of his reverie and he looked up to see
the monument towering. over the ad.
jacent vicinity. Pardon me-" he said
to the Pittsburgher, may l ask what
that lofty structure over there is?"
That's the monument said the Steel
City man, who spoke of it as Wash
ingtonians do. What monument 2"
inquired the old gentleman. The mon
ument to Washington, of course" The
old gentleman gazed at it abstractedly
until it was hid from view. That's

As soon as the fly has .emerg-

lief prevailed that illness was the
result of evil spirits and that cure
could be effected by frightening them
away.
A good example of the long struggle
which science had to make to over
throw suspicion is shown in the curl
GUS costume worn by French physi-
clans in the early eighteenth century
when treating sufferers from the
plague.
The garb represents sound scientific
knowledge in the protection it gives
the body against infection, and is
quite similar in this respect to that
worn by physicians in plague-stricken
districts today.
But the big, staring glass eyes and
the huge artificial nose, which served
no useful purpose, were survivals of
