BY HERBERT QUICK.

Typhus IA one OF the most dread.
full of diseases.
II has been called by many names
--putrid fever, Jail fever, but what
causes il has only in recent years
been learned.
Did you read in the newspapers
the other day that our soldiers in
Mexico are warned not to use Mexi-
can bedding. nor sleep in Mexican
houses. and to avoid association
with the people of the country? And
that the soldiers, both officers and
men have had their heads either
clipped close or shaved
This was done to make II less
likely that they would contract a
certain fever now existing In those
parts.
Tor we now know the manner in
which typhus Is communicated. II
is by the bites OF parasitic insects.
A few years ago it was supposed
that the guilty insect was the flea;
hut the louise Is now identified as
the agent.
Typhus is the badge OF misery,
low civilization, poverty, ignorance.

The Jumping Frea Story.

It was in the Angel Camp bar that Mark Twain heard from an ex-pilot called Ben Coon the Jumping frog story. Clemens related it to Artemus Ward, who urged him to write if, to be included in a book that Ward was pub fishing. Clemens dallied and sent 1t to the publishers too late, but they handed it over to a dying paper called the Saturday Press. which gladly gave it pride of place in it's columns on Nov. Is, 1865. Professor Sidgwick synopsized it in Greek form for his book Greek Prose Composition, and thus arose the legend that the jump ing frog story originated in ancient Greece, a legend in which Clemens him. self believed till Professor Sidgwlck undeceived him in 1899 by telling him that the Greek version was merely a translation of Clemens own work,

lndia'a Hoarded Gold.

For many years London has been steadily drained of her gold by India. Tn ten years India has absorbed from circulation 150.00o000 gold sovereigns and hoarded them away The coolic has learned that silver rupees are a poor investment. especially If he melt them into anklets or n nose ring for his wife. as oyer 20 per cent of tho silver is lost in the melting pot, while the gold sovereign preserves It's value whether he keeps it as n coin or melts It. When n coolie collects 15 m. pees which he finds to be temporarily surplus he buys sovereign with it, He has come to understand the wis dom of hoarding away only the gold coin. which be knows he can always realize on at its original value.
