Having successively disclosed the hy 'glenio dangers adherent to the kiss, the telenhone receiver and the towel, med ical science has now turned its atten tion to the perils that beset the philate list's art. According to Dr. I'nna, a patient was recently attacked by a pe culiar parasitic growth in the" beard. On mnklng a minute examination ot some of the hairs the doctor recog nized the disease us "plodrn," which is chiefly met with in British Columbia. The doctor's friend had never been in Columbia, but he frequently received letters from correspondents there, and, .being a collector of postage stamps, lie was in tho habit of removing them from the letters. In Dr. I'nim's onlnlon the gum on a postage stump Is an excel lent material for retaining any disease Kerms that It may receive from the ap plication of the tongue, nnd in remov ing stamps even when the moistening is aone witn a sponge there is always a danger that the collector's fingers tnay receive and communicate the con lamination.
