SOLVES DISEASE MYSTERY.
British Officer Finds Cause Of 1000 Year
Seourge.

Seourge.
London.-Lieutenant Colonel Leiper
of the London School of Tropical Med
icine has just returned from Egypt,
where he had been investigating bill
harziosis, and has communicated an i'm
portant discovery respecting this dis
ease to the Royal Society Of Medicine.
The disease, which has been a
scourge to the Nile delta for thousands
of years. has been discovered to have
been the cause of death in mummies
dating back to 1000 B. C.
In his report Colonel Leiper cited a
village where 80 per cent of the chill
dren are infected. 1t has long been
known that the disease was transmit
ted by water, but the life and history
OF the parasite have remained unes-
tablished.
1t has been discovered that the dis
ease is started in a worm which lives
III the human body. The eggs of this
worm pass from the body into canals
and pools, where they enter molluss
and there undergo certain evolutions
They emerge from the molluss in a
form enabling them to enter the hu-
man body through the skin. In this
way the disease is commonly contract
ed while bathing and washing.
Colonel Leiper contends that the dis
ease can be exterminated by filling the
pools during the dry season.

SURPRISING Swearing.

Profane as well as legal oaths have
been the subject of many parliament
tary measures in England. No fewer
than five separate bills having the pre-
vention of swearing for their object
were presented during the reign of
James l.. but it was not until 1923
that an enactment was finally carried
defining and controlling the offense.
In 1886 a public department was es-
tablished to collect the fines enforced
by this law. The officials of this de-
partment. of whom one was appointed
in every parish. were allowed Is. Cd.
in the pound on the money thus col
lected, and the balance was paid over
to the bishop for the benefit of the de-
serving poor. These penalties ceased
to be enforced after the restoration,
but were revived by statute of Will
liam and Mary and still further in
creased under George IL.

eupants of the Home.
Is anything new to be said about the
entrance hall? The smallest room In
most houses. it is usually given in the
plans an amount of attention that
might seem out of all proportion to the
rest of the house. And yet the ordi-
nary entrance. whether 1t be a mere
vestibule, a spacious hall of the colo
NAL style or, as in our present day
fashions, part of the living room set
off by an archway, is quite unsatisfac-
tory. 1t is unsatisfactory for this rea-
son-that the entrance way is designed
and decorated from the standpoint of
the impression 1t makes on visitors,
whereas the impression we should seek
is not that made upon guests, but upon
ourselves, the occupants of the house.
Too often we give the entrance a Sc
we're treatment that impresses the stu
dent of beauty or that amazes the less
discriminating visitor by the other ex-
treme of lavish display. But how does
either of these two types of entrance
affect those who come into the house
many times every day, the good man
and his good wife and their children?
Is it room that by its suggestion of
rest and repose tempts one after
hard days work at the Office to drop
into the first easy chair that comes
along, or does 1t irritate the nerves and
keep one going, restless and uneasy,
wandering from the entrance to the
living room and from the living room
to the study and thence to the attic by
way of the ment?-Good Health.
