Tho In vasion was terrible, for tho disease in tho Middlo Ages watj tho odium of the medical piofessiou, as It is now. No one knows Its caUso or cure. Finally, governifeents Joined to stamp it out.

They were strictly and eflfsiently Isolated. It Is recorded that they wore compelled to wear a distinctive dress, a long gray gowa with a monk's hood, and they corned a wooden clapper to sound tlio alarm when auyouo approached them. Tiiey were for bidden to enter inns or other public places, mills, bakeries or msntshops, to touch healthy people or eat with them. Thoy wero not allowed to wash In streams, or to traverse narrow footpaths, lest they should meet a clean person and pollute him. Theso measures wero not more com plete than had been ordered to tlio Israelites nearly 3000 years before. In Leviticus xlli., wo have no doubt, nro tlio Btmltary regulations which thoy had loomed amoug tho Egypt ians. Tho dlseaso is dlscrlbod in great detail, and tho rules of diagno sis, time of incubation and limitation found thero show that It has greatly changed its typo In many Important resnects. Its Invasion now is a matter of months or years, other wlso tho references to It In tho Pentateuch nro as appllcablo now as they wero 1400 B. C. It Is plain that tho vnltio of Isolation was perfectly understood by Moses, and that, with tho dlotctla regulations, finally leeched tho troublo out of tho blood of the Jews. Tho need of a renewal of precautions in Europo and this country is proved by a variety of facts.

It is in Italy, Spain and Portugal, tho Duuublati countries, ou tho dolla of tho Volga and tho shores of tho black sea.

CoUUr.'to Youth't Companion, SULTANIC TKEASUEES; V - A GllmpBO at tho Contents of tM Old Soraerua Ever since the days when I used to derar "Tho Arabian Nights" I had been filled wi an ardent desire to view the marvelout treasures of tho Sultans which aro so glow- Inclv described in that charming companion of my childhood, so when I found myself it tho Golden Horn, ono of my first proceed inns was to tako steps to get a view ol them, writes a correspondent of thoJeicefcn' Wuhtu from Constantinople i must con fess, however, that had I known how much J ceremony and rod tapo business was to be gone through before tho desired permlseloif was granted I would havo given up the Attempt. Permission to gaze upon tho Sultan's treasure can only ho obtained by meant of a firman from his Sublimo Highness him self, a sovereign utteranco similar to those by which peace or war is declared. Having, however, after innumerable difficulties ob tained tho coveted document, an aide-decamp conducted mo to tho palace known as the Old Seraglio, a largo, gloomy looking structure without any windows and sur rounded by deserted pardons. Upon arriv al thero I was handed over to tho guardian of the treasure a high functionary of most majestio mien, who was accompanied by thirty officials of lower rank to assist in tne ceremony of opening the doors. The latter ranged themselves in two rows, ono on each sido of the entrance. A large green velvot bag containing the Troys was passed from hand to hand until it reached the guardian of the treasure. He picked out tho keys and handeu them to two of tho as sistants. The outer door was then opened Behind this was a wrought iron grating secured by enormous padlocks. This being i swung open we found ourselves in tbo flrst of three large, badly lighted and mysteri ous-looking apartments. I was at last in the presence of tho treasures of tho Sultani The first object which attracted my at tention was a large throno of beaten gold, which occupied tho center of the room and which was Inprustcd "with thousands ot rubies, emeralds and pearls. This throne, according to an inscription dn it, was taken by Sultan Selim from the Persians in 1614. It is, however, doubtful whether this work of art is so old. Another throno In tho amo room is more Interesting. It is a fine specimen of Turk ish art in the sixteenth century. It is of tho same form as the seats found In many of the mosques, and was intended to be sat upon cross-legged. At each corner 'is a column which supports a dome terminating in a jo woled point. It is of ebony and sand wood inlaid with mother of pearl, tortoise shell, gold and silver. It is covered with fantastic plants in mother of pearl, tho center of the flowers being com posed of largo rubies, emer alds, sapphires and pearls. Suspended by a golden chain so as to bo over tho head of tho Bultan is a goldon heart from which depends a large emerald of irregular form, measuring four inchos long and lj Inches across. Tho three rooms nro decorated with mag nificent suits of armor. Here Is to bo seon the beautiful coat of mail with damaskeened plates worn by Sultan Murad IV. when he captured Bagdad in 1633. Beside it is the scimitar of the same monarch. The guard and handle are inlaid with diamonds cut flat and sot in checker work, each stone be ing the same size and half an inch square This is a pattern of which tho Turkish Jew elers of that ponod seem to have been fond, for near this sword is a largo gold vasa ln the same style. The whole of the body of this vessel is hidden by a mosaic of square, flat diamonds, to the number of 2,000. The bulk of the treasures is in glass cases,. the bottoms of which are covered with magnificent velvet horso cloths. Ono of theso, moasuring eight feot by seven, Is literally covered with designs embroidered In pearls the size of a large pea. Among other notable objects are a mossiyo conical gold helmet, a pair of golden stirrups of ex quisite design, and daggers, sabors and other arms without number, all beautifully decorated with gold and precious stonos. All these are arranged In the greatest disorder and mingled with ohjects of no value. By the side of pieces whoso valuo l incalculable may bo seen modern Paris and Vienna clocks, porcelain vases, pistol cases 5llver jndvos, forks and spoons, toothpicks, and oven loather cigar cases and C,t'b?i8, 0n tha other hand, ancient iSFZ vEurPean rif?m aro remarkable for their absence; and one naturally won ders what can have bocomo of the many presents the Sultans must have received irom Christian monarens, such as enameled SS?!08' S,em" and Dden vases, ob jects In Ormolu and other specimens of old dvWp- Nothing of p7w .1 T mino treasure rooms. toVkSrvn?jr,wkePt imrtto a room by.tnemselyes. but lt 1mM( tW s, II iiiiriinwinMM jH Manama :tt "1x'.mM
