Indian rock. in Paramount park. Phil
sdelphia, the landmark along the Wis
sahickon, is so called because of the
figure Of Teddyuscung upon it. Ted
dyuscung was king of the Della wares
and a powerful chief in the Six Ma
lions. The rock on which this statue
stands was long known as the Council
rock, and there the last council of the
Lenape tribe was held in 1853, before
their departure for the Wyoming reser-
walton. According to the legend, Ted
dyuscung took his last look over the
Wissahickon ravine from this rock. A
wooden figure of an Indian was placed
on the rock in 1856. This remained
until replaced in 1908 by the present
figure, the gift OF Charles #. Henry OF

The Hotel In the Forest.

Busaco, the beauty spot Of Portugal,
is vast forest, in the center Of which
is situated one of the finest hotels in
the country. Travellers arriving at this
noted hosiery invariably comment
upon the position OF a certain olive
tree standing just outside the hotel in
the center of the road, most awkward
ly situated for traffic. The reason the
obstruction is not cut down is due
TO the fact that Wellington tied his
horse to this identical tree on the eve
of the battle OF Busaco. 1870 and the

DIRT AND DISEASE.

To be the consort of a queen and yet
to die OF a disease that is caused by
ilthi
That was the fate of Prince Albert,
consort of Queen Victoria, who died at
the prime age OF forty-two from ty-
phoid fever, a disease that is wholly
preyentabe.
Typhoid fever Is found only In man.
II is caused by short rod shaped mi
croscopic vegetable which enters the
body through the mouth and leaves it
In human discharges to enter another
human mouth, TO which 1t is carried by
fingers, flies, fluids and food.
1t is essentially disease of young
adult life. Older people are less apt TO
have 1t, probably because they have
suffered from an attack OF the disease
In their youth.
Typhoid fever is known by various
names-'slow fever" low fever"-but,
whatever name 1t is called by, 1t kills
about per cent Of those whom II at
tacks.
A certain percentage of those who
recover become carriers-that Is, per
sons who, though well, secrete the or
ganisms in their discharges.
Carriers are largely responsible for
the perpetustion OF typhoid fever. but
the installation OF proper sewer sys-
tens, the abolition of flies, cockroaches
and other filth insects, the maintenance
of pure food supply and the intelli-
gent care OF the victim OF the disease
are the measures which II rigidly en-
