According to scientific investiga- tions directed from Washington for several months, there are at least 275 cases of leprosy in the United States, That number have been re- ported, but it is thought g negro probable that the real number is nearer a thousand, For various reasons diseasephysicianshave cases of this many any instances fail or re- fuse to report them. But the !tum- ber reported is sufficiently large to occasion some alarm. Seventy-four of the known cases are in New Or- leans, chiefly among the Italian pop- ulation, There are twenty-three in Minnesota, mostly among Scandid navians in the rural settlements. There aro fifteen oases in North Dal- kota, and two in South Dakota, among the same people. . So far as has been ascertained, there are none in Michigan or Indiana; Chicago has five cases, New York six, Boston n The figures nolo compiling repro- dent a great deal of careful work. A circular was sent from Washington t° every city •and country physfclan, every health offiicer, every responsible head of a hospital in the country. It called for volunteer information covei'•ing cases of leprosy fu the cpm- munity in question; tltp name of the leprous person, the sex, age, social coniition, place of residence— whether town or country—and. name of attending physicianIn all, 8,000 pli skehavetethus far been received from only 2,000 of them, Thereg may be several times 275 cases in le 6,000 districts from which thus far no replies have come. It It is the intention of those who are compiling the figures to make a Teport to Congress, including such recommendations a5 ma seem war_ ranted. One recommendation will bo for the erection of two large Gov -tion pl'nlaent hospitals for lepers, one in the south and the other in the north, Eminentcommitting different times been oaxnmit- tees of Congress in the interest of the erection of leper hospitals, but nothing came Of these Visits, the Government, having no reliable data covering the prevalence of the cll- sense. Next winter; however, with full information on the subject, it is believed that ,.pongress wall ant promptly, It is noteworthy that nearly all the 275 reported victims aro foreign- ors. Ella' Scandinavians seem peen!- laxly susceptible to the disease. They ether !lad it when they landed iu America, or contracted it soon after landing, Every one of the cases in •Lite Dakotas and Minnesota is in the country, rather remote oven from small towns. The disease seems to be 'sitreadiiig most rapidly in Louis- lana, and for several years there has been agitation there in favor of or- foctiva public supervision and con- trot of ail leprous patients, either by the State or by Lh0 Federal Govern- dent. o r THE HARDY FAMILY. Tho Hardy family, according to he traditions preserved, were Otrig- amity west country Scots, who fol- owed the blue and silver banner of he Covenanters. During the "1111- times" they found a refuge from ursocution, lie many others, in the of Ireland, where there was a trona. Scotch colony. Almost, a enttu•y later Captain John Hardy aft clic Trish home of the family and catled in the colon of Pennsylvania est before the outbreak of the re war.
