Is Disease a Crime
Not very long ago a popular magazino
published an editorial article In which
tho writer asserted in substance that all
disease should bo regarded as criminal
Certain it is that much of tho sickness
and suffering of mankind Is due to tho
violation of certain of Natures laws
But to say that all sickness should bo
regarded as criminal must appeal to
overy reasonable individual as radically
wrong
It would bo harsh unsympathetic
cruel yes criminal to condemn the poor
weak over worked housewife who sinks
under tho heavy load of household cares
and burdens and suffers from weak
nesses various displacements of pelvic
organs and other derangements peculiar
to her sex
Frequent bcarlne of children with Its ex
acting demands upon the system coupled
with tho care worry and labor of rearing1 a
larffo family Is often tho causo of weak-
n esses derangements and debility which aro
aggravated by the many household cares
and tho hard and never ending work which
tho mother Is called upon to perform Dr
Fierce tho maker of that world famed rem
edy for womans peculiar weaknesses and
Ills Dr Pierces Favorite Prescription says
that one of the greatest obstacles to the euro
erf this class of nialadies is tho fact that the
poor over worked housewife can not got tho
needed rest from her many household cares
and labor to enable her to secure from the
use of his Prescription Its full benefits It
is a matter of frequent experience be says
in his extensive practice in theso cases to
meet with those in which histreatment falls
by reason of the patients inability to abstain
from hard work long enough to be cured
with those suffering from prolapsus ante
version and retroversion of the uterus or
other displacement of the womanly organs
it is very necessary that in addition to tak
ing his Favorite Prescription they abstain
from being very much or for long periods on
their feet All heavy lifting or straining of
any kind should also bo avoided As much
out door air as possible with moderate light
exercise is also very important Let the
patient observe theso rules and tho Favor
ite Prescription will do the rest

POLICE OF PARIS
Uovr the Third Ilrlirailc Spies Upon
the Whole Force
Vance Thompson describes In Every
bodys the famous Third brigade of
the Paris police whose business Is to
supervise the police It is composed
of an officer de pals a principal in
spector a brigadier five subbrlgadlers
and about seventy five picked men
About half aro assigned to watch tho
patrolmen He Is a bold policeman
who commits any of the little sins
dear to the patrolmans heart There
is hardly a chance that he will not be
detected In time Reprimand follows
after that fine and lastly dismissal
There is always a long waiting list of
candidates sound young fellows fresh
from the army and the city can choose
Its new servants among the best
The other half of the Third brigade
Is engaged In work of a more typically
Latin kind It investigates all com
plaints made against the patrolmen
by chiefs and citizens and it main
tains a regular system of espionage
upon the private lives of all police
men
This of course is the Latin way
of doing things writes Mr Thomp
son Wrong as It may be in principle
It serves to weed out the men of bad
character and bad habits and bad as
sociations and it prevents that mon
strous alliance of the police and the
lawbreakers
The Third brigade in turn Is watch
ed by a smaller body of detectives
who report directly to the prefect of
police
DESERT THIRST
Its Five Thanes Two of Which Mean
Certain Death
Half of the people dying from desert
thirst perish iu thirty six hours a quar
ter within f orty eight or fifty hours and
all others of which the history is known
within eighty hours
The phenomena of desert thirst may
be arranged in three stages namely
normal thirst functional derangement
and structural degeneration These
three stages are made up of five phases
the clamorous cotton mouth phase
the shriveled tongue the blood sweat
i and the living death There Is hope In
I saving the lives of the victim whose
thirst is diagnosed ki the three
phases but for the fourth and fifth
death is certain
The clamorous phase of desert thirst
may be relieved by water or la some
1 Instances fruit acids or similar sub
stances The second or cotton mouth
I phase should be treated by giving the
victim quarts of water takep tn small
sips and flooding his body Practically
j the same treatment may be applied to
the third or shriveled tongue phase
with the addition of a medicine to
I counteract the fever and a tonie lor the
heart Water would only prove a
damage In the fourth or blood sweat
phase and even if it were possible to
satisfy the thirst of the victim his
i mental condition would never be clear
Death from thirst is often painless

Tlie Valley of Qnillotn
Whoever says Charles Darwin In
his Voyage of the Beagle called
Valparaiso the valley of paradise
must have been thinking of Quillota
Quillota is a thriving town twenty six
miles from Valparaiso in a northeast

clares who sees only the country
around Valparaiso barren of vegeta
tion would never Imagine that there
were such picturesque spots in Chile
As soon as we reached the brow of
the sierra the valley of Quillota was
immediately under our feet The pros
pect was one of remarkable natural
luxuriance The valley Is very broad
and quite flat and Is thus easily irri
gated in all parts The little square
gardens are crowded with orange and
olive trees and every sort of vege
table
According to Contract
A man who was very miserly hoard
ed up his stacks of hay year after year
In the hope of making double the price
he was offered for them A well known
hay and straw buyer in the district one
day asked the price of a stack An
enormous price was asked which the
buyer accepted
How about the terms of settle
ment asked the old miser
Well you see said the buyer my
terms are to settle when I fetch the
last load away
Thats a bargain said the miser
slapping the others hand The old
chap watched every load go away ex
cept the last and that the buyer never
did fetch away London Standard
No Salute For a Dirty Prince
The crown prince of Germany had
as a child a great dislike of being
washed The emperor tried various
means to cure him and he at last hit
on the right one The young prince
came running to him one day in a
great rage saying the sentry had not
saluted him as he passed
To be sure said the emperor I
gave orders they were not to salute a
dirty prince but only a clean one
The childs pride was hurt and he took
to the bath
He Must Have Had Faith
The church was packed even the
aisles lined with chairs Just before
the benediction the thoughtful clergy
man who loved order as he did the
gospel thus admonished his hearers
In passing out please remain seated
until the ushers have removed the

THE AMERICAN BISON
UflltonM of Buffaloes Once Ranged
the Western Flsins
The early explorers who describe the
buffalo numbers do not give us any
thing more exact than superlative ex
pressions Buch as countless herds
incredible numbers teeming myr
iads the world one robe etc I
have endeavored to get at a r Te ex
act Idea of their numbers
The total area inhabited by the buf
falo was about 3000000 square miles
Of this the open plains were one half
According to the figures supplied me
by A F Potter of the forest service
the ranges of the Dakotas Montana
Wyoming Nebraska Kansas Colora
do Texas and Oklahoma a total of
about 750000 square miles or half of
the plains were according to the cen
sus of 1000 carrying 24000000 head
of cattle and horses and about G000
000 head of sheep This means that
when fully stocked they might sustain
a number of buffalo at least equal to
the number of cattle and horses The
buffalo had to divide their heritage
with numerous herds of mustang an
telope and wapiti On the other hand
a buffalo could find a living where a
range animal would starve many of
the richest bottom lands are now fenc
ed in and we have taken no account
of the 6000000 sheep Therefore we
are safe In placing at 40000000 the
buffalo formerly living on the entire
plains area
Their prairie range was a third as
large but it was vastly more fertile
indeed the stockmen reckon one prai
rie acre equal to four acres on the
plains Doubtless therefore the prai
ries sustained nearly as many head as
the plains We may safely set their
population at 30000000 The forest
region was the lowest in the rate of
population For its 1000000 square
miles we should not allow more than
5000000 buffalo These figures would
make the primitive number of buffalo
75000000
Many other calculations based on
different data give similar or slightly
lower totals From these facts it will
appear very safe to put the primitive
buffalo population at 50000000 to

JUSTICE OF THE HEARTH
A Standard That Might Well Be
Adopted by All Society
Over the dinner table a husband was
telling his wife of the financial mis
dealings of one of their social ac
quaintances a wealthy and popular
man He had contrived the ruin of a
certain company and its subsequent
reorganization a process which had
put money into hjs pocket and taken
money from innocent stockholders
The husband touched the facts light
ly because he thought that a woman
could not be interested In them or un
derstand them in detail This wom
ans understanding throughout her hus
bands narrative was occupied with
one or two simple questions
Is he to be punished she asked
Punished How His conscience
wont punish him indeed he probably
thinks he has obeyed the rules of busi
ness The law technically Is broad
enough to cover his case but it is
hard to get evidence You see the
district attorney must

shall not dine there next Wednesday
I will write a note to Mrs Berry
Not dine there Why not
Because he is not a fit man to re
ceive In our house or for us to visit
But nonsense Hes just as good a
fellow just as respectable
One minute By your own words
you prove that he is a wicked man
taking what is not his I listened to
your story until there could be no
doubt that you yourself condemned
him by the facts which I do not un
derstand If what you say is true he
and I meet no more as equals
And her judgment stood Of course
her neighbors and friends pursued the
usual course of accepting a man in
social relations whom their husbands
distrusted in business

A HOPELESS SITUATION
C 3-
Odd Climax That Wai Not a Part of
the Play
Frank Gillmore the actor tells the
following story about his aunt Miss
Sarah Thorne who was leading woman
at the Theatre Royal Dublin many
years ago
Miss Thorne was given a part In
The Masked Prince the second piece
of the evening said Mr Gillmore
Glancing through her part hastily at
breakfast she noticed that there was
one scene In which she had so little to
say that it could be learned just be
fore going on She decided to skip that
scene and get to the longer passages
When night came and my aunt
made her appearance she did very
well In the first scene In the second
scene occurred the passages she had
skipped In the morning She rushed to
the corner In which she left her book
but It was not there Finally the
stage manager xeceivlng no response
to his repeated calls sought her out
and pushed her on the stage There
she was before a large audience with
out the slightest Idea of what she was
Supposed to do or say The scene was
a courtroom At a high desk sat the
presiding judge letter perfect In his
part because he had It ready to read
from the papers In front of him A
trial was taking place and Miss
Thorne to her horror discovered that
she was to be the principal witness
on whose answers hung the entire plot
of the play The judge adjusted his
spectacles looked at his part and said
in solemn tones The witness will now
state what she saw the prisoner do on
this particular night
What was she to answer She
glanced around helplessly She hadnt
the faintest idea what she had seen
the prisoner do on that particular night
The critical moment had arrived some
one must speak but she couldnt Her
eye alighted on one of the characters
in the play who looked particularly
reliable He looked like a person who
could get one out of any sort of dif
ficulty So pointing at him she ex
claimed in Impressive tones Ask that
man
The entire cast seemed disconcerted
by this remark They did not know
precisely what ought to be said but
instinct told them something was
wrong The judge thinking he might
have made some mistake turned over
a couple of pages of manuscript and
having convinced himself on this point
again addressed the witness My aunt
glanced at the uncomfortable gentle
man and no other Idea coming to her
again exclaimed Ask that man This
concentration of public attention was
too much for him and he sneaked off
the stage with a feeble Excuse me
Of course the situation was a hopeless
one and the curtain had to be rung
down Success
The Spanish Main
What do you understand by the
Spanish main Such was the prob
lem propounded at the club lunch ta
ble and many and varied were the an
swers In the Wreck of the Hes
perus It was remembered that there
spake up an old sailor who had sailed
the Spanish main and It was recalled
that In the Ingolsby Legends one
says My father dear he Is not here
he seeks the Spanish main There
was however a certain vagueness
about the speakers views as to what
particular thing was meant by the
word some thinking one thing and
some thinking another and only one
speaking with the authority of an old
sailor who had sailed the Spanish
main Such a discussion tends to
show how satisfied most of us are to
half know a thing or to think that we
know without troubling about verifica

The Shopping Sex
The Englishwoman never knows
when she enters a shop what she
wants She is swayed by impulse
grabs wildly at everything she likes
orthinks she likes and probably comes
back and grumbles the next day She
is also completely lost if the shop
walkers do not dog her every footstep
to implore her to look at this charm
ing toque or condescend to glance
at this special line in cheap skirts
But the American woman resents any
suggestion that she does not know
what she wants likes to be left se
verely alone and If interfered with
may abruptly leave the shop But
while she is less irritating than the
Englishwoman she is far more exact

The Old Great Enstern
The last days of the Great Eastern
were certainly sad considering the pur
pose for which she was designed and
the great work she did In cable laying
For some time before she was broken
up on the mud of the river Mersey
near Liverpool she was on view as a
show ship One firm of Liverpool
clothiers hired her for a season and in
addition to using her for its advertising
purposes made use of her for catchpen
ny shows In the large cable tank a
circus was fitted up and performances
given at so much a head while other
exhibitions of the Coney Island type
were spread all over her deck
The Eastern Eye
The eyes of the yellow people are not
oblique notwithstanding that they ap
pear to be The line adjoining the
commissures of the eyelids divides tht
eye Into two equal parts and is ex

the nose It is not always so the ex
ception is much less frequent than in
the whites for as a general rule It Is
