DrPHTHERIA (says a medical writer) isa
term derived from the Greek, signifying
the skin or membrane. 1t is an epidemic
sore throat of great severity, ollen conia-
gious, due to poisoning of the blood, at
tended with much prostration, aud charac-
terlzed by the exudation Of false MEM
branes and lymph ON the tonsils and ada
cent paris. II attacks all classes ohpersons
aud at all ages. Children are most liable
TO contract it. 1t is probably most fatal 10
the poor, or such as reside in damp situa-
tions aud in badly drained houses. So
far as known, local treatment does not af-
ford much benefit unless commenced in
the early stage OF the disease. Inhalations
may then be of value; but the main reli-
ance must bo placed in the good nursing,
hygiene OF the sick room and a supporting
treatment, TO enable nature TO work her
wondrous cures. There is no specific rem
edy for the allment.

A MAN NOT To DE JoKED WITH.-The
other day simple minded German called
on grocer 10 pay bill, giving him $40
note. The grocer examined it and said,
"Hullo, where did you get this note ~
"VOt is de reason nit dose note?" replied
the honest Teuton; don't she wash good,
heinz" Good r. answered the grocer;
"why, you're a lucky nan-lhat note is

"You see the signature over here, don't

getting scarce, and people pay five per
cent. more for them than the new issue"
"By smmby! ish dot soH" "Yes. Lem
me see your bills. Why, every one Of
them is Il Spinner. Man alive, your for
tune is made"
In pursuance OF the grocer's advice, Mr..
Schneider called at the ub-treasury Satur-
day afternoon TO get the premium on his
bills. What success he had it is impossible
to state, but he was seen later in the evening
lurking round the streets by which the
grocer must so home, and on being accost-
ed by an acquaintance the following con-
versation took place: "Der peoples from
ShermaLy fights well, heinz" "Oh, yes
the Germans are unquestionably military
nation of the first class" "Some hig

The Forgotten Grave.
out from the city's giant roar,
You wandered through the open door:
Paused at little pail and spadc
Across 4 tiny hillock laid;
Then noted on your dexter side
Some moneyed Bagnatc's Glove or pride;"
And 80, beyond hawthorn tree,
showering its rain OF rosy bloom
Alike on low and lofty tomb,
You came upon it-suddenly.
How strange! The very grasses growth
Around it seemed forlorn and loath;
The very ivy seemed to turn
Askanee that wreathed the neighbor urn.
Sunk was the slab. the head declined:
Aud left the rails a wreck behind.
No name; you traced = "6, ~"

As the harp strings only render
All their treasures Of sweet sound,
All their music glad OF tender
Firmly struck and tightly bound;
So the hearts Of Christians rise,
Each to deepest, sweetest strain,
To the pressure firm Of woe,
And the tension tight Of pain.
Spices crushed their pungenee yield;
Trodden scents their sweets respire;
Would you have its strength revealed,
Cast the incense in the Are:
Thus the crushed and broken frame
OF doth sweetest graces yield;
And through suffering, toll and shame,
From the martyrs ktenest fame,
Heavenly incense is distilled.
