MEISLIIS STILL UNCHECKED.
Nearly Fourteen Hundred. Cases
and Eighteen Deaths. iii May.
A despatch from Toronto says
The epidemic of measl1s that has
been -ravaging .:the province for the
'"past few months shows .no sign Of
abating. During May, according
to the returns of the '` Provincial
Board of Health, there were 1,398
cases, ori which, 18 resulted in death.
Last year's May figures showed
only 588 cases and 15 deaths, While
there is twice as much measle( in
Ontario as a year ago, the figures
do not give an entirely accurate
comparison, owing to the fact that
up to last Fall quarantine was not
required for cases of this disease,
and returns were anything but
complete. The great difficulty the
health department has experienced
in fighting measles is that the aver-
age person does not consider the
disease a serious one, and flexes -
eery precautions are neglected. It
is a fact, little realized, that meas-
les, whooping cough, etc., regularly
claim mare -victims than smallpox
and typhoid. The May returns,
apart from measles, show an, im-
proved state of health generally,
the increase in tuberculosis cases
being due to more Complete re-
turns.

wheat is not more than 1% inches :

Two Philanthropists.
Professor John Stuart Blackie,
the noted Scottish scholar and man
of letters, had the rare gift of be-
ing able to enjoy thoroughly a joke
of which. he was the victim. The.
following anecdote he particularly
relished:
Clad in a shepherd's plaid, with
a broad -brimmed hat on his head,
and his hair falling in ringlets
about his shoulders, the quaint old
professor was accustomed to take
long walks through the Edinburgh
streets. On one of these walks he
was accosted by a dirty little boot-
black.
"Polish your boots, sir 2" asked
the boy.
"I don't want my beets polished,
my lad," said, Professor Blackie,
"but if you'll wash your face I
give you a sixpence."
"A' right, sir," replied the lad.
He went over to a neighboring
fountain and made his ablutions.
"Well," said the Professor, "you
have earned your sixpence. Here
it is,"
"T dinna want it," said the boy.
°,You keep it and get your hair
cut."
