DIPHTHERLA.

Diphtheria (says a medical writer) is a
term derived from the Greek, signifying
skin of membrane. 1t is an epidemic
sore throat Of great severity, often con.
tagious, due to poisoning of tho blood, at.
tended with much prostration, and char
aeterized by the exudation of false men,
bsanes and lymph on the tonsils and ad-
jacent parts. It attacks all classes of
persons at all ages. Children are most
liable TO contract it. 1t is probably most
fatal to the poor, or such as reside in
damp situations and in badly drained
houses. So far as known local rr eat
ment does not afford much benefit unles-

made by dissolving clear glue in equal

adding one-fourth Of an equal volume of

CONGRESSMEN'S IVIVE,S


The Washington correspondent of The
+ Cleveland Plaisdeuler writes: The
wives OF two congressman were waiting
for the elevator last evening at one Of our
hotels. Twas demurely reading the eve.
ming paper with my eyes, eagerly devour-
ing their conversation with my ears, and
this is what I heard. Said Mrs. H.,
'1'm awful tired; I've made twenty
calls to day, and tomorrow I must make
as many more. There's precious little fun
Said Mrs. L.: "Fun indeed not! not
bit Of it. Why, at home when George
was elected held my head higher than
nybody in the county, and expected to
have such gay time here, but when you
get three hundred congressman and their
wives together one don't count
much. / needn't have worried so about
my dresses!''
Mrs; HIS face was visibly heightened all
the while her friend was talking; then she
responded:
THAT'S so. There's Mrs. Grant, whom
everybody wants to see once; there arc
the wives of the secretaries, who bow
politely when you call and never know
you Again.
.'Oh. yes they do - interrupted Mrs. L.
"Nrs. Fish never forgets face, and Mrs.
Bristow is just lovely
"Wel], anyhow, Mrs. Robson never
knows anybody lower than senator's
wife, and Mrs. Belknap never returns
our calls. This is the order: The cabi.
net ladies, the wives of senator's, ladies of
the foreign legations, the families of the
army and navy, few citizens known for
wealth or positions given by inheritance
and then, wives Of congressman are
classed with department clerks! wish
I hadn't come at all!''

this superficial examination should not

any reliable conclusion can be arrived at
as to his good or bad qualities. At this
time there is an excellent opportunity of
testing his soundness. Observe him
closely as he is first led from his stable {;
see that he does not step short with his
fore feet, or hitch on either Of his hind
legs; see that the hook joints are SYM

growth exists in the shape of spavins,
