Verdn Lund retired that night the

nondered on his last words: "Let tin
Iilght Knter." He was venerable with
litre nnd honors. wise, many-sided

Spread of Sleeping Sickness Threatens
Entire World, According to Scien
tists of Prominence.
Sleeping sickness, called encephalitis
lethnrglea by the doctors, seems now
to have became a domestic evil, says
thu Medical 'Hccord (New York), In
quoting a study of this formerly rare
disease by Doctor Lhermltte In a
French medical Jotirnnl.
It appears that the disease Is epi
demic all over the world and that It
manifests Itself In many forms, the
only symptom possessed by all In com
mon being that o deep and prolonged
sleep.
In true encephalitis lethnrglea there
are four cardinal symptoms ocular
paralyses, hypersomnia, fever and the
general state. The ocular paralyses
may be absent at thu outbreak of tho
disease, but once present they no
characteristic. So, too, Is the type of
hypersomnia. It Is a nnrcolepsy, but
the subject does not arousu quickly,
ns In the condition which commonly
goes by tho name and In which the
seizures may he only momentary. How
ever, the permanent sleep may be pre
ceded by narcoleptic crises.
Doctor Lhermltte notes hypertension
of the muscles and a state suggesting
catalepsy. Tremors are often mani
fest; tho temperature. goes to 101 de
grees F. lie says a Wasserniann test
and examination of the spinal fluid
should always be made.

"Is the sermon nearly finished?" she
whispered.
"No. Another halMiour yet," re

"Will It take him that long to say
his 'lastly'?" she asked anxiously.
"No, mum ! There's 'one more word
and I'm done,' and the 'llnnlly,' and
the 'in conclusion' to come yet."

OLD FISH MARKET MUST GO
London's Famous Billingsgate Forced
to Succumb to the Inexorable
March of Time.
nillliiL'sirnte, London's old-time fish
market, Is about to move. The course
of time and the modern diliiculties of
transport nre responsible for the plan
to remove to another site more easy
of access, and In which spnee will
not always be at a premium.
liitllngsgatL' was the most Importnnt
quay on the Thames In late haxon
times, and fish, among other things,
were landed there. By tho time of
EdvMird I the market was fully estab
lished, and the king, who was a con
firmed food controller, fixed a tariff
of maximum prices. Tills list Included
one dozen best soles, fl cents ; best mul
let, '1 cents; best haddock, -1 cents;
best Thames or Severn lamprey, 8
cents; gallon of oysters, -1 cents, and
best porpoise, 12 to 10 cents. The
Iicm fresh salmon, after Easter, were
to be sold at four for $1.25. That was
In ilio days when the Thames was full
of Milmon, and one could cntch lloun
dei and flatfish on a lino dropped
over London bridge. Tho water Is still
salty during high tide, but tho sea fish
do not come up any further than
Griivesend, which Is 20 miles lower
down.
