A DeY-GooDs MERCHANT YIcrMIzED BY
A FEMALE SHARPER.-The Boston Herald
thus tells the story:
One OF the sharpest cases OF swindling
which has recently occurred in this viclnlty
took place yesterday at one OF our proml-
nent dry-goods stores not far from the cor
ner OF Winter and Washington streets. A
finely-dressed lady appeared in the shawl
department OF the store in question, and,
after careful examination, selected camel's-
hair shawl costing about 800, for which
she rendered in payment 81 900 bill,
which was carefully scrutinized by the
cashier, who, doubling his own power OF
discrimination, dispatched a messenger to
the bank to ascertain the genuinensss OF the
bill. Meanwhile the lady customer had be-
come anxious to procure the change, and
had approached the locality occupied by the
man of scrip when the messenger returned
and announced in an audible tone that the
cashier OF the bank said the bill was good.
The lady upon hearing this waxed exceed
whether he thought that she would at
tempt to pass a counterfeit bill" OF course
apologies and explanations were OF no avail,
and assuming to be highly indignant, she
refused to purchase the shawl, demanded
her money, and departed from the store
the very embodiment Of righteous indigna-
ton. A couple Of hours afterwards she
returned considerably Modified, and con-
Iessed that she was pleased with the
shawl, and that her inability to find one
which she liked as we'll was the only reason
she returned, and she concluded to take it,
which the obliging salesman proceeded to
have prepared, while the courteous cashier,
disdaining TO entertain a suspicion against
such a lady, proceeded to count out the
5000 change. with which and her shawl the
lady departed. The feelings OF that store
keeper can be better imagined than de-
scribed when he awoke to a realizing sense
Of the fact that his lady-customer had, after
all his precaution, succeeded in passing
upon him counterfeit $1,000 bill. 1t ap-
pears that anticipating Just what had oc-
CURED, she had provided herself with q
good bill, which played its part in the early
stages OF the game, after which 1t retired In
favor Of the counterfeit.

Now, here is new thing under the sun:
A surgeon in Prince Bismarck's country OF
Pomerania has invented method OF excl

therefore, to supply families on demand
with male or female wet nurses according
to their wishes This amazing fact is at

The MOST FRUITFUL SOURCE OF DIPH-
THER1A-OPINIoN OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE
NEW YORK BOARD OF HEALTH From the
Brooklyn Argus. little origin of diph-
theria," said President Chandler, of the
Board of Health, els mystery. Most New
York physicians, l believe, think that sewer
gases started it. 1t is a germ disease, like
smallpox, and is communicable. 1t often
seizes robust children who, at the funerals
of p,,aymateS, or in school or church, are cX-
posed to its direct influence.
"The diphtheretic poison impregnating
the air-passages Of the patient affects the
entire system. The air-passage impregna-
ton speedily changes into Inflammation.
accompanied by the formation OF men,
brane. Fever next follows. The poison
begins to work as soon as it fails upon the
tissues of the air-passages, but doesn't sem
sibly affect the patient till two or five days
later. Then he feels great prostration, his
throat is dry, and he has pricking pains in
swallowing. The throat reddens, white
membrane appears in patches, and the
glands swell In fatal cases the fever in
creases, the throat Inflammation spreads,
and general exhaustion follows.
"The diphtheretic poison clings long to
rooms, and may occasion death months af-
terward. Diphtheria prefers, seemingly.
children between one and ten; the average
OF its victims now is about two years.
Neither heat nor cold, rain nor drought,
affect it. Cleanliness and pure air every
where tend to avert and mitigate it.
"Where it exists no child should be per-
mitted to kiss strange children, particularly
when they have sore Threats, or even to
play with their toys. When any child in a
family has sore throat, the other children
should be kept rigidly apart, in dry, we'll
ventilated rooms. Every throat affection
should be promptly treated. The sick child
should be watchfuily nursed in well.vent-
Hated, sunlit room. Men who live on Fifth
avenue are astonished that their children
die. 1t is not at oil marvellous; half OF the
houses there are not tit to live in. One half
OF their owners, am confident, have never
been in their own cellars. They fill their
drawing-rooms with satins and gildings, but
give no heed to the lraili-pipes. Often five
dollars would have saved loved child's
life, il seasonably spent in repairing de-
iective drain-pipe.
/" A few days ago went into the cellar o.
great brown-stone house. The current o.
sewer gas, rushing directly up to the bed
rooms, put out my candle and left, me tt
grope ing way out in darkness.
We have only one expert in plumbers
work, and as the examination OF a. single
house takes an hour or two he cannot &C
compiish much Men should should look t.
their plumbing for themselves.
30 the Board OF Health had hospital II
which children suffering from diphtheri
could be isolated 1t would be the saving o
many lives" q.
