Sercnely proceeded 10 describe the dreadful

the dear child's life, we know; nevertheless
you killed her. Killed her as surely as If you
had fCd her with Strychnine or arsenic. Your
carcSses were fatal. Two or three days after,
the little pet began to complain of Il soar
throat, too. The symptoms grew rapidly
alarming; and when the doctor came, the
single word ''diptheria' Suf1iced to explain
them all. To-day a little mound in Green

Evil is wrought by want Of thought

1t would be hard TO tell how much of the
prevalent sickness and mortality from diph-
iberia Is due To such want Of thought. As
rule. adults have thediSeaSe in SO mild form
that they mistake ii for a simple cold: and as
a cold is not contagious, they think nothing
OF exposing others to their breath, or u the
greater danger of labial contact. Taking into
consideration the well established fact that
dlphtheria is usually, if not always com
muniCatei by the direct transplanting of the
malignant vegetation which causes the dis
ease the fact that there can be no more GER
tain means of bringing the cOntagion TO its
fav0rte soil than the act of kissing. and the
further fact that the custom of kissing chill
dren on all occasions is all but universal tits
not surprising that, when the disease is once
imported into community, it is very likely
10 become epidemic. 1t would be absurd To
charge the spread Ofdiphthcria entirely To the
practice of child-kisSing. There are other
modes of propagation though il is hard TO
conceive of any more directly suited TO the

tells the whole story; Last evening. Just b.
fore o'clock. Mrs. Porter. who is managing
the Pyle house during the disability of her
sick husband rushed into the office, where a
large number of boarders and guests were
waiting for supper, and first begging them
not to get excited, or 10 make any disturbance
that might alarm Mr.. Porter. who was sick
in bed up stairs, Informed them that the
house was on fire in the cellar. OF course
there was AN immediate rush for the outside
and cellar, where il was at once discovered
that the gas meter was all ablaZe. the flames
reaching the floor and spreading themselves
somewhat fearfully. A number pitched into
the red and blue blaZes with blankets OH
clothes, and water, and endeavored TO sup
press them, but all to little or no purpoSe
until some one more considerable than the
rest suggested that the gas be turned of. A
wrench was thereupon secured, the gas
turned of. and thus the flames were quickly
eXtinguiShed without much damage, beyond
an exceedingly lively scare for a few minutes
II appears that. Vaving had some trouble
during the past few cold nights by the gas

rather dangerous method of thawing it out

One of BoStOn'S best known merchants
noted for his shTcwClncSS and penetration, Ia
test case presented short time since and
came of victorious. As it is an illustration
Of this milliCnaire's penetration in great
business affairs. we give the story here:
1t appers that the merchant wanted another
gardener upon his country estate, near BJS-
ton, and an individual presented himself for
that office.

''Nes, been in ii for years"
Whom had he lived with last? The aDpli-
cant mentioned a gentleman the marchln.
was well acquainted with, stated that he left
for no fault, but that his former emDlover was
going To Europe, had sold his estate and had
DO further use for him.
What wages do YOU expect"
Eighteen dollars month"
This was aStOniShingly low for such a
promising looking, sober man, and he
ShTcWd business man rubbed his chin thought
fully, and reflected that ii was q bargain lot:
but wasn't there something wrong about
it, His habituaI business caution even in
this comparatively triiiug negotiation, did
not 1OrSake him.
Cal! to morrow at this time, and will
have seen Mr.. -, your former employer,
and give YOU an answer
The gardener turned and began to wa TX
slowly away; as he did so, he displayed two
patches on the seat of his pantaloOns bene IN
the line Of his roundabout jacket
"Hallo! here! come back here" called the
merchants You needn't apply tomorrow; l
see shan't want you
The astonished applicant stammered out
something about his knowledge of gardening
and good character, but was cut off sharp bY
his practical observer:
Don't want you, sir; the patches on your
breeches are on the wrong side A gardeners
