It was two bold knights-errant, they rode

They wero seeking for adventures, anywhereii'j

Tlie Experienced was prudent and the Inexperienced rash.
And presently they came upon a couple unaware—
A huge and hideous monster, who beat a lady
fair.

He was knobbed and gnarled and twisted, like
a huge misshapen tree;
And the young mans heart waxed furious to
see what he did see.
"For the brute he banged tho lady till ono
trembled for her life,
And when they asked him why, he said "O,
nothing—she's my wife."
Tlie Knight-Errant of Experience he made a
bow polite;
Said he: '"Afamily affair? Excuse me, sir-
good night!
Excuse me if I can not stay—I think I'll hurry
on!"
"Shame?" cried rheInexperiencedKhight;but
the older Knight was gone.
So the younger Knight laid Ids lance in rest,
and bis youthful heart uprose:
And he charged upon the monster and just
touched his mighty nose;
And tlie monster reached out lor him, and
with one tremendous thrust
He knocked tbe good Knight oil his horse and
laid him in the dust;
And twenty minutes later the young Knight
slowly woke
And lay a-comiting up the bones and things
that monster broke;
And as lie wondered at tlie meed of brave
Kniglit-errantrec,
He saw tlio Lady sitting on that horrid monster's knee.
She laid her dainty fingers, as she sat in loving pose,
On a scratch all but invisible, upon the monsters nose;
Her tender soothing accents had a sweet and
silvery ring;
"Did the missy man scratch hubby's nose, oo
pitty itty sing?
He was a nassy wicked man, to give her hubby pain;.
Just let tlie twectumskiss tho place and make
it well again!"
"When the youthful Knight went on his way
He was exceeding sore:
Buthe knew a great bis spreading: lot more
than he did before.

Will be'.., Haline every Wednesday ami shall be ; Ping Fit iE ho know anything about the
'jlea^cdto meet all in need ot work in inylme. j cause ol the disease (which in
Aiii aud see samples of our work. | Chinese is   known asma long)   and
rwhat stvps the local authorities took to
"prevent the spread of the disease. He
answered me that very little was known
about the cause, but that leprosy was
about as old as China itself. It is. however, probably caused, he said, by "a
small animal,' but so small as to be invisible to the eye, and on the whole
not perceptible to tho senses at all."
This struck me at tho time as  very
interesting,    as   il:   proved   that   the
Chinese had made a shrewd guess—
ages before the  '"civilized   west"—at
the now so commonly  discussed  bacillus.    The prefect   further   said   that
the general idea was that the seeds of
leprosy entered the rice  through the
waier in certain localities, and  that it
was through the food that   the  disease
to   some "extent was propagated,   and
of course through actual bodily  contagion.   There are numerous asylums
at Yen IMugFu for lepers,   but   tbey
were allowed to go about a good   deal.
The lepers iu tTie said district were
allowed lo intermarry,   but   no   marriage was   allowed   lielwcen  healthy
people aud those sulTeriiig  from   leprosy.     I was   shown   a ' good ' many
young boys ami grown-up girls several
of whom showed no outward  signs  of
the disease, and several of whom even
were    very    good-looking,   but   who
nevertheless all of them had the  taint
of tho disease.   The Chinese claim to
be able to recognize 1he existence   of
disease in suelTcases by the  peculiar,
nearly abnormally healthy complexion.
The guess at tho-bacleria is said to
have been made many centuries ago:
many remedies (all, or most, of which
were exceedingly unlikely) have been
proposed JEroni'lLiao to  time,  but   the
prefect said that really there   was  no
remedy, and only one way of preventing the spread of the disease,  namely,
by keeping the lepers strictly in their
asylums and prohibiting marriages of
lepers altogether, and tfxus stopping the
spread of leprosy by" contagion   and
heredity.
There are many superstitious notions,
existence in China with"*regard to
the cure of the disease. Thus aChiiiese
official told me that many of the natives thought that a- person suffering
from leprosy could be cured by marrying a healthy person  of  tlie opposite
sex; and great cunning has often been
nsed to conceal the disease, and thus
carry out matrimonial plans of such
kinds, with a view of curing either the
son or daughter as the case   may  be.
This, of course, -proves the ignorance
of the masses and also howstiil further
channels are opened for the propagation of the   disease.   On  another "occasion a  woman  offered me   aud   a
friend some "peanuts*." an official who
-was traveling with us Itttshed up,  saying only;   "Ma Feng, pu mai," which
meads,""Leprosy, don't  buy,"   which
proves that the Chinese are "fully convinced that the contagion can be communicated by touching oi* eating any^
thing  which  has   been   handled  by
lepers, and it also proves, as your correspondent of Sept.  19 mentions, the
great risk one unknowingly runs  in
buying fruit or any other kind of produce coming from places "where lepers
arc allowed to <ro about at large.

the corner of Fourth
avenue noticed a young, delicate, almost fragile-looking woman co'ine from
the direction of the big bridge, says
the St. Louis Republic. She was carrying a baby and leading a little
child about i years old. It was evident that she "was fatigued and that
her slender arms could scarcely bear
the burden which they held, while the
little fellow clinging to her skirts was
fretful and so tired that his legs Could
hardly toddle. Both gentlemen noted
the weary woman as she passed them,
and heard her remark that they had
only "six more blocks" to walk. .
"J", would help that woman if I
dared," said one of the gentlemen,
'•but if I should speak to her she'
