DANGER IN SLEEPING CARS.
■crtha Seared as Filthy and Disease
Laden by American Health
Association*
The filthy and disease-laden sleep
ing car has been duly scored by the
American Health association. At the
meeting in Washington, says the Star,
the subject was very thoroughly dis
cussed from a sanitary standpoint.
Although tha facts regarding the culp
able uncleanliness of berths are ad
mitted by the public, their rehearsal
from time to time helps to emphasize
the necessity for reform.
The railroad companies are always
ready with excuses against bettering
' conditions. Their business is to
avoid trouble and save expense. The
casual traveler may growl as much as
he chooses, but is oftener contented
to submit to an Infliction rather than
suffer the humiliation of a fruitless
appeal to authority.
No ane needs be told that the ordl- |
nary heavy curtained and ill-ventilated
night car is a veritable propagator of
infectious diseases. What better could
be expected when ‘the nightly used
blankets, as claimed by one speaker,
are cleansed but once in six months?
And, pray, what power exists to call
officials to account? What is the real
guarantee for the sleeper that he is
absolutely safe from the germs left
for him from the previous customer?
The only remedy rests in the ordinary
honesty of the common carrier.
One of the railroad experts rather
plausibly claimed that it was not fair
to require railroads to spend large
sums of money for sanitary purposes
until they knew where they stood. As
if, in truth, there were any doubts con
cerning the efficacy of absolute cleanli
ness, perfect ventilation and thorough
disinfection—all easy enough of ap
plication when there is a will for the
way.
CAUSE OF BAD SPELLING.
—
Repetition the Only Secret of I.enrn
lav to Spell for Peraona with
Averave Hemorlea.
Probably it is a mistake to say thai
any person with an average memory
cannot learn to spell. As there is a
lack of analogy in the spelling of
words, learning to spell is chiefly a
matter of memory. Repetition is the
only secret about it, says the Philadel
phia Record. There are some aids, but
it is the words to which there is no
guide which are the common source
of trouble. Persons who do not spell
well have simply neglected the study
of orthography and are not entitled to
sympathy. Operators of typewriting
machines who have considered them
selves the victims of a defective or
thographical memory have often be
wme good spellers through practice.
In a vast proportion of cases bad
•polling may be traced to wrong pro
nunciation, which is even more fre
ijuent than Is wrong spelling. Prob
ably the modern methods of Instruction
have something to do with the number
of bad spellers among fairly educated
people. The old spelling-bee system
Insured repetition. In recent years the
writing of the spelling lesson has in
many schools taken the place of th.
oral system. The men and women who
had gone through the district school of
half a century or more ago were al
most Invariably good spellers. If, a.
the Evanston councilmen maintain,
spelling be a gift, it is apparent that
It is not bestowed on man as liberally
as formerly.
GUN-MAKING IN CHINA.
>f«ry Form of Monition of Wnr, from
Rifle, to Henry Artillery,
Made by Nntlroa.
A correspondent of the Lahore Civil
and Military Gazette visited one of the
Chinese arsenals and thus put down his
Impressions: “Finally we were taken,
among other places, to the great Chi
nese arsenal some way beyond treaty
limits, where every form of munition of
war, from rifles to 45-ton guns, was be
i lng made. We wandered through a
wilderness of factories, covering acre*
of ground, and were shown the whole
process of manufacture. And there
were powder factories and other insti
tutions not far away which we had no
time to visit. That was, perhaps, the
most significant experience of all. You
may have seen gun factories before, but
have you seen a place turning out
great guns by the dozen, and machine
guns by the hundred, perfect in design
and construction, run, from coolie to
head mandarin, entirely by Chinese, and
with only a couple of Englishmen en
gaged solely in consultative supervision?
Have you seen a roomful of Chinese
draughtsmen and designers In pigtails
and blue gowns solemnly, stolidly and
assiduously getting out the drawings for
a new gun? It Is a sight that furnishes
food for thought. And as you leave
you ask yourself the question: ‘If the9*.
men can make guns, why may they noi
work them some day!’ ”
Cortona Saraga Cnalom.
MaJ. Powell-Cotton, who recently ex
plored a part of central Africa never be
foie visited by white men, writes
‘‘Among the Klmager the women go
completely naked, but the men are
clothed. I secured some photographs
of a tribesman and his two wives hoe
ing the family plot One of these shows
a curious fashion of skin decoration in
vogue among the womenfolk. It is a

when they are young. Small incisions,
geometrically arranged, are made in the
skin and into these ashes are Inserted.

THE COUNTRY PHYSICIAN.
Has to Cover an Immense Territory,
and Thai When the Roads
Are Worst.
“Of all the men I meet on my
rounds of the state there is none
for whom I have as great respect
as I have for the country doctor,”
said the Southdown drummer
the other day, according to the
Chicago Inter Ocean. “The city
physician is often a pretty hard
working man if be has much of a(
practice, but he knows few of the,
trials that the country doctor
faces the year round. The coun
try doctor is the modern mar
tyr, and take it all through he is
the best read and most aggres
sive citizen of his community.
“The country phsician who is
well established usually has a
practice that covers a territory
of at least a hundred square
miles. There is hardly a week in
the year that he does not have
patients at the extreme opposite
boundary lines of his territory.
I know one old doctor down the
state who drives an average dis
tance of 20 miles a day every day
in the year. Of course there are
days when he does not drive five
miles a day, but there are other
times when he drives 30 or 40
miles a day.
“The worst side of country
practice, these doctors say, is
that the greater part of the sick
ness comes during the worst kind
of weather. When the roads arc
good and the w-eather is fine peo
pie are not so apt to be sick, but
when winter comes on and the
roads are rough or muddy the
country doctor is the man who
has to be out and going.
“The mud roads of Illinois
have snipped ten years off the
lives of the majority of the doc
tors. One physician told me he
was the first man of his family
name to become gray, and he laid
the blame to exposure.
“The country doctor is not
merely a physician. He is a sort
of family counselor, nurse, spirit
ual and legal adviser. I heard of
a physician down in the southern
part of the state who conducted
a sort of vest-pocket bank and
loaned money and discounted
notes for nearly every farmer
within the range of his practice.
“Yes, sir, I always take off my
hat to the country doctor wher
ever I meet him.”
THE CAUSE OF LEPROSY.
Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of Eng
land, Says It Is the Eating of
Decomposing Fish.
The conclusion of Dr. Jonathan
Hutchinson, of England, after a
study of leprosy as it appears in
various parts of the world, is that
the disease is caused wholly by
eating decomposing or imperfect
ly cured fish. The London Times
is inclined to accept Dr. Hutchin
son’s idea. It is held that in all
I countries and in all ages leprosy
, has been and is still due to the
! consumption of “high” fish. , The
preference for fish in a tainted
condition is an “acquired taste”
and it is claimed that it prevails
omnnnr a anffioionf nnmhar nf
pie to account for the dreadful dis
ease wherever it exists. Leprosy
was nearly general in England
and on the continent in the six
teenth century, and it is claimed
still prevails in many fishing sta
tions, especialy in Norway, Ice
land and Tracadie. It is repre
sented that at these places there
is still a preference for fish in a
tainted condition. It is noted,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
that in regions where leprosy was
formerly common, it has disap
peared with the advancement of
agriculture and the discarding of
fish for food. In India vegetari
ans are free from it, but the fish
eaters are much troubled. Dr.
Hansen, of Bergen, discovered
that persons having leprosy carry
In their tissue a bacillus resem
bling that of tuberculosis, and the
disease is thought to be a mod
ification of tuberculosis, caused
by a specific virus developed in de
caying fish. The scientists, espe
cially those whose direction is in
the medical line, are always mak
ing it harder to get along in the
world; but it is probably better to
give heed to their theories, even if
there may be nothing in them, for
it may happen that a little care in
the selection of the dried fish we
eat may add a few years to life;
and it is the general agreement
that life is none too long at best.

GLOVES FROM RAT SKINS.
Only One Pair Was Ever Made and
That Was Very Small—Inter
esting Glove Lore.
A report comes from Copenha
gen that a great rat hunt has been
organized there, and that the
skins of many thousands of the
victims are to be used in making
gloves. If the rat hunters in the
Danish capital cherish any such
hopes, says the Pall Mall Gazette,
they are doomed to disappoint
ment.
Rat skins cannot be made into
gloves tit for commerce. The be
lief that a valuable raw material
is being neglected here survives
only in the minds of the inexpert.
The glove maker knows much
better. A Norwegian merchant
once came to England and in
formed a well known glove maker
that he had collected over 100,000
rat skins and was prepared to re
ceive offers for ’ them. He was
fully convinced that the skins
were suitable for glove making.
But the manufacturer found that
the largest skin was only some
six inches long, and he held up a
kid skin for the smallest size of
glove, a child’s, which was eight
inches long, and asked how he was
to cut such a glove out of a rat
skin.
Then he took up the smallest
kid skin for a lady’s glove, 11 inch
es long, and when he asked how
that was to be cut out of rat skin
the Norwegian merchant laughed
m me iuea auu weni away disap
pointed. The best offer he got
for those skins, which he had col
lected with so much care, was five
shillings a hundredweight from a
man who was willing to boil them
down for glue.
A famous glove making firm has
u collection of curiosities relating
10 the trade, and one of them is
the largest pair of gloves ever
made out of a rat skin. The be
lief that such skins could be made
into gloves was laid before the
managers so confidently that they
resolved to put it to the trial, and
they ordered a number of skins of
the largest rats which could be
found in Grimsby. But the rat is
a fighting animal, and bears the
marks of many battles on his
body, and it was found that the
skins were so scarred and torn
that it was with the utmost diffi
culty that perfect pieces large
enough for the purpose could be
obtained. In the end, after ten
skins had been used, a pair of
gloves was cut and made, and
they are retained in the collection
to this day. But they are so small
that they would only fit the small
est of small boys. Thus it was
shown that, however cheaply rat
skins might be obtained, they
would offer no advantage to the
glove maker. The rabbit skin is
equally useless for the purpose,
and humane people may also dis
miss from their minds the fear
that the skins of pet dogs are
made into gloves. The dog skin
glove of which we used to hear is
made of nothing but the skin of
the Cape goat.
Cuban Cava-Fishes.
An interesting addition has re
cently been made to the Natural
History museum, South Kensing
ton, London, by the receipt of
specimens of some of the blind
cave fishes of Cuba. The special
interest of these fishes lies in the
fact that their alliance is with
salt-water forms which exist in
the neighboring sea, and not with
fresh water fishes, as is the case
with Amblyopsis and its allies of
the great cave of ♦Kentucky.
There can be little doubt that the
Cuban caves in which the blind
fishes are found were formerly in
communication with the sea, and
that the ancestors of these fishes
entered the caves from the adja
cent ocean.
Children Labeled for Traveling.
The practice of labeling chil
dren and sending them across thc
Atlantic, addressed as parcels,
would appear to be getting rather
general. A number of children so
labeled have passed through
Queenstown from time to time
lately. From the Dominion liner
New England, which has arrived
there from Boston, was landed a
little boy not quite nine years old.
He was addressed to his uncle at
Kilkenny. He had traveled from
Chicago unaccompanied, and had
been transferred just as a parcel
would be by the various forward
ing companies through whose
hands hepassed.
