From several Investigations that have been made by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, it is estimated that on an average about fifteen per cent, of the prison population of the country Is afflicted with tuberculosis. On this basis, out of the 80,000 prisoners housed In the penal Institutions of the United States at any given time, not less than 12,000 are Infected with this disease. If the Philippine Islands and other Insular possessions were taken Into consideration the number would be much larger. Some of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kansas and Ohio show such shocking conditions with reference to tuberculosis that many wardens admit that these places of detention are death traps. Similar conditions could he found In almost every state, and In the majority of cases the only sure remedy is the destruction of the old buildings and the erection of new ones. One Side Enough. Senator William Alden Smith tells of an Irish justice of the peace out In Michigan.

Leonard Wood has just from South America to take up his duties as chief of the general staff of the United States army, the highest military position which the service affords. Ntarly 12 years ago, when Leonard Wood was acting as governor of Santiago, I wrote In the Outlook about what he had already achieved, and what he could be trusted to achieve. During the intervening 12 years he has played a very conspicuous part among the men who have rendered signal service to the country by the way In which they have enabled It to grapple with the duties and responsibilities incurred by the Spanish war. What has been accomplished In the Philippines, In Cuba, In Porto Rico, In Panama, and in San Domingo during these 12 years represents a sum of achievement of which this nation has a right to he extremely proud. In each locality the problem has been different. In each locality it has been solved with signal success. Of course there have been mistakes and shortcomings, but on the whole It would be difficult to find anywhere a finer record of successful accomplishment. This record Is primarily due to the admirable quality of the men put at the head of affairs In the different places. Messrs. Taft, Luke Wright, Smith and Forbes, Messrs, Hunt, Wlnthrop, Post and Colton, Governor Magoon, Colonel Goeth-al- s to these and their colleagues and subordinates the country owes a heavy debt of obligation. Most of those I have mentioned are civilians. Colonel Goethals, under whom the gigantic work of the Panama canal Is being accomplished, with literally astounding rapidity and success, is a representative of the army. The share of the army in the honor roll Is very large. The Importance of work like that of General Bell In the Philippines, of General Barry In Cuba, can hardly be overestimated: but, as a whole, of all the work of the army officers, the greatest in amount, and the greatest in variety of achievement, must he credited to General Wood. And, moreover, he has at times combined with singular success the functions of civil administrator and military commandant. The part played by the United States in Cuba has been one of the most honorable fver played by any nation in dealing with a weaker power, one of the most satisfactory In all respects; and to General Wood more than to any other one man is due the credit of starting this work and conducting it to a successful conclusion during the earliest and most difficult years. Like almost all of the men mentioned, as well as their colleagues, General Wood of course Incurred the violent hatred of many dishonest schemers and unscrupulous adventurers, and of a few or less persons wre misled by these schemers and adventurers; but It Is astounding to any one acquainted with the facts to realize, not merely what he accomplished, but how he succeeded in gaining the good will of the enormous majority of the men whose good will could be won only In honorable fashion. Spaniards and Cubans, Christian Filipinos and Moros, Catholic ecclesiastics and Protestant missionaries in each case the great majority of those whose opinion was best worth having grew o regard General Wood as their special champion and ablest friend, as the man who more than any others understood and sympathized with their peculiar needs and was anxious and able to render them the help they most needed. His administration was as signally successful In the Moro country as in Cuba. In each case alike It brought In Its train peace, an Increase In material prosperity, and a rigid adherence to honesty as the only policy tolerated among officials. His opportunity for military service has not been great, either in the Philippines or while he was the governor of Cuba. Still, on several occasions he was obliged to carry on operations against hostile tribes of Moros, and in each case he did his work with skill, energy, and efficiency; and, once It was done, he showed as much humanity In dealing with the vanquished as he had shown capacity to vanquish them. In our country there are some kinds of success which receive an altogether disproportionate financial reward; but In no other country is the financial reward so small for the kind of service done by Leonard Wood and by the other men whose names I have given above. General Wood Is an army officer with nothing but an army officers pay, and we accept It as a matter of course that he should have received practically no pecuniary reward for those services which he rendered in positions not such as an army officer usually occupies. There Is not another big country In the world where, he would not have received a stantial reward such as here no even thinks of his receiving. Yet er all, the reward for which he careB Is the opportunity to service, and this opportunity H given him once and again stands as of the can army, the army in which h serving In a subordinate posit! surgeon 13 years ago.

News: Another desert victim is reported, and Archie Campbell, manager of the Last Chance mining property near Death valley, came to Goldfield yesterday to deavor to establish the Identity of the . HANDSHAKING? Other Ways of Greeting Friends That Are Much Preferable, According to Writer. Although a few have suffered the unpleasant experience of the man in the case recently reported, the bones of whose hands were forced out of place by the vise-likgrasp of a too vigorous and unduly demonstrative friend, most people will be Inspired by their personal recollections to sympathize with this victim of a misdirected ardor. 'Everyone knows people who seek to express the sincerity and earnestness of their good-wil- l by squeezing the hand they take as though they were trying to break every one of the score or so of bones which the human hand comprises, and every one on such occasions must have wished that some other form of salutation than the one most In vogue had been devised and were generally practiced. Shaking hands is a relic of barbarism anyhow. It became the custom in the days when every one carried a dagger in his belt and when one friend meeting another thought it necessary to attest the peacefulness of his intentions by extending an open palm. Then the other man could do no less than make a similarly reassuring demonstration and the grasp of these two extended hands naturally followed. Subsequently, by a logical process of evolution the handshake grew to be the conventional form of greeting and the refusal of a proffered hand was regarded as one of those insults whose dishonor can only be wiped out with blood. Now the custom is too firmly and widely established for its abandonment to be conceivable, and e yet there are various things about it which render It unsatisfactory. Rather surprisingly it has thus far escaped the denunciations of the doctors, who have spared no little else, as a possible occasion for thft communi cation of injurious microbes, but one does not have to be a President of the United States, nor even a popular poll tician engaged in a canvass for votes, not sometimes to have wished that the handshaking habit had never been contracted. There are so many ways of shaking hands that are objectionable and there are so many different kinds of hands whose touch communicates a sensation not exactly pleasant Hands that are too hot or too cold, too moist or too dry, or whose inertness communicates an uncomplimen tary sense of indifference on the part of their possessors. Every one Is familiar with the hand ehake in which all the shaking has to be done by the party of the first part, in which the hand one grasps lies limp and lifeless in ones own, to be taken or left, to be squeezed or let drop, as one pleases, while the attitude of the owner suggests an absolute lack of Interest in the proceedings. Behold, that also is vanity and vexation of spirit. So is the question which recurrently arises, and which it may be suspected is the source of much secret embarrassment, the question of to shake or not to shake. Etiquette has its rules for this, but no rules etiquette can formulate will cover every case that may arise, and to determine the right thing may not always be easy. It will be seen that the Chinese The Chinaplan has its advantages. man you meet does not shake j our hand. He bows and shakes his own. Philadelphia Inquirer. "Mr. Campbell encountered the unknown man on the desert in a frightful condition. He was In the last stages of desert exhaustion, devoid of clothing, sunburned, blistered and crazed, with his tongue swollen enormously, a pitiable object, and unable to speak. He was tenderly conveyed to camp and everything possible done for him, but kind aid came too late, for an hour after he had absorbed the first cup of water he expired."

Lawyers have a peculiar system of abbreviation, such words as trustees, executors being cut down to trees, exors, and admors.

A IS TOO MUCH FOX ALL TOILET USES. n MASS OF HUMOR "About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It Irritated me so that I began to scratch it, and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and It was completely our undermining health. I lost fifty pounds In weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on tL street or In the presence of company, I would have to scratch it until I bad the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffering during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply Indescribable on paper and one has to experience It to know what It Is. I tried all kinds of doctors and remedies but I might as well have thrown would my money down a sewer, dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad If not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was Induced by my wife to give the Cutl-cur- a Remedies a trial.
