to be confronted there ana conciuainff

which has made its appearance there
In the cities was iianaea to r. -TiUn
Mnxvck bv a reporter for the
Charleston (S. C.)News and Courier re
cently with the request lor lniornm-
t. the disease with which he
was understood to have had consider
able experience.
"Well. 1 do not mm anjuus i
give himself any apprehension about
the danger from Ueri-Deri sum .nr.
Mazyck when he had read the article.
"It may be regarded as a disease pe-
culiar to the black and yellow races
tnd rarely if ever attacks a whiteman.
I have seen and treated more cases of
It. perhaps than any man in America
and while it is contagious to a degree
among the negroesri can state posi-
tively that no white man contracted it.
My acquaintance with it lasted from
May until September 1862 and wasof a
nature calculated to impress Itself
upon me with peculiar force. I was in
Charleston at the time it first made ita
.mwintiFP amontr mv father's ne
groes on the Snntee and knew nothing
of It until the overseer became alarmed
and sent me word that a number of
them were attacked by a kind of
dropsy that seemed to Bpread among
them and completely nonplused the
local physicians. A the matter ap-
peared to be a serious one I went up
there to see about it myself and found
between 30 and 40 negroes of all ages
in bed swollen fearfully from head to
foot and unable to walk.
"There was nothing else for it and I
determined to stay there and nurse
them myself. No one had ever seen
anything-Uke it in the country and I
was unable to do anything more than
nurse them for a long time. The ma-
those who took it died! and
with a few it seemed to run its course
and disappear. From what I could
r .... a
see it was an injections crops im
ih. liflVrence that it did its work much
more rapidly the climax being reached
in about three weeks when tne patient
either died or began to improve.
"In utter despair I took numbers oi
people up to look at them and all of
them were forced to confess that they
had never seen anything like it before.
At length a lady in the city told me oi
a similar case in u negro of her fa-
ther' which old Dr. Schmidt of this
city had termed 'beri-beri' and treat-
ed "as such' he having seen much of it
on the Guinea coast of Africa. His
treatment consisted of rubbing the pa-
tient with sweet oil and administering
flve-graln doses of calomel daily. I
tried the experiment on a woman who
had it. She recovered though whether
as the result of the treatment or not
I am unable to say.
"Some years later I was telling Dr.
Guiterai of the disease while he was
stationed here anil he immediately
pronounced it beri-beri having seen it
In Cuba. He said it was a negro disease
and not to be feared by white men.
Hbth he and Dr. Schmidt claimed that
it came from dampness and was not
to be found where the soil was dry. .
"From my father's plantation on the
Santee few cases spread up on the
Wairnriiuw. but the epidemic disap
peared with that year and 1 have never
heard of it in this country since."

Tim owners of the precious orchid
conferred with each other but decided
not to accede to the offers made them
for they have In mind a similar case of
another rare variety which several
years ugo brought the fabulous price
of 10000 yen per lear.
So both delegations were obliged to
return home crestfallen and the Asnhi
adds: "Even supposing that the own-
ers might be persuaded to part with
their orchid at 5000 yen a leaf that
would bring them a gum of 55000 yen
while if the price were to rise to 55000
yen each that amount would be
doubled." Tokio Morning Day.

Th- lotPti ernze that has made itl
appearance in Japan is the orchid craze
and if reports are true toe tunu
in Holland of several centuries ago may
well look to its lat rels. A new variety
of a small orchid jointly owned by the
well-known gardener of bhilaya aiaru
Shin and by two others is at present
enjoying the highest epuiauon. it
l. called "Amakusa." for every rare
variety has its own special name. Its
leavet measure only lour incur i-
t.nirth and one and one-half inches in
width this variety being the only one
now found in Japan. The leaves oniy
it In number are whitish with yellow
hued ttripes widely marked and the
whole appearance- exceedingly grace-
i. Tha fame of the "Amakusa" has
sent all the circles of orchid hunters
into a flutter Xnmerous applications
have beea received by the triple owners
asking them to part with even one leaf
lor orchids as Is well known can be
propagated by roof separation. Bnt all
these applications have been courteous-
ly declined. - v
The other day says the Asahl a dele-
gation representing ten villagers of Chit-
agori Okari; came up to Tokio. They
were all men stricken with the orchid
manlarand hearing of this rare variety
each of them subscribed 500 yen (a yen
Is 50 cents In United States currency)
and'one of them the head man of the
v'"nt'e. arrived on the important mis-

been supposed to be about the lowest

songs and baby songs with which they
amuse their children. Many of their
