Diphtheria and It's Causes.

How many times my heart has ached
to see delicate children with their lower
limbs exposed, not only in cool, but in
damp, chilly weather; nothing to pro-
tect them but thin stockings and thin
shoes, suitable only to the very warmest
weather. Should We wonder that diph-
liberia carries off so many children
The wonder to me is that the mortality
is not greater. / consider that this un-
suitable manner of clothing children is
the promoter of more cases of diphthe-
ria than all other causes combined, es-
pecially in this variable climate. 1t
appears that parents pay no attention
whatever to the changes in the weather
from June to November; no matter how
chillwor cold the weather may be, the
thin stockings and absurdly-short
dresses and exposed neck and arms are
to be met with upon our streets any
where. 1t seems to me that the atten-
ton of parents should be called to this
great neglect on their part to properly
clothe their children according to the
state of the weather, no matter what
may be the season of the year. 1t
would appear difficult to overlook this
subject of clothing in our search after
causes for diphtheria. What physician
does not know that the blood recedes
from, or shrinks, as it were, from cold
localities to seek more congenial lati-
tude? And where will it go to? Why,
it can only find shelter in some of the
vital organs, and then what is the result ?
Congestion of one or more organs, I'M
less the person happens to be possessed
of sufficient vitality to bring about a
reaction in the circulation. Some peo-
pie have this and recover, while, per-
haps, in the meantime, many others, less
favored, do suffer and die. .

HumOrs of the Law.

Persons who are unfamiliar with court
proceedings are often surprised and per-
picked Mt the number of objections
that are made to questions asked wit
nesses. Quite an amusing incident in
this connection once occurred in the
Seventh District Court in this State.
A trial for murder was progressing. A
witness was testifying that on the morn
ing after the murder he met the defend
ant at breakfast, and the latter "called
the waiter and said" Hold on ~
exclaimed the attorney for the defense,
1 object to what he said" Then fol-
lowed legal argument of about an hour
and half on the objection, which was
overruled, and the court decided that
the witness might state what was said.
well, go on and state what was said to
the waiter" remarked the District Attor-
ney, flushed with his legal victory.
Well" replied the witness, he said,
Bring me a rare beefsteak and a couple
of soft-boiled eggs.'"
In one of our courts little while ago
an old lady was being examined as a
witness. To almost every question
asked, the counsel on the opposite side
would jump up and say, Il object as ir-
relevant, immaterial and incompetent
This appeared to annoy the old lady,
who seemed inclined to make personal
matter of it, Finally the interrogatory
was put, did you see those men in
that field on that day." Maybe what
l saw wouldn't be evidence" was her an
swer, because saw them through
glasses. 1 am old and wear spectacles. y

ChOate and Webster.

Perhaps the weight and power OF
Webster's character were due to the
hours he spent in the woods and fields
and on the ocean, chatting with the
farmers or sailors, as he was engaged in
hunting and fishing, as to the hours he
spent in his study.
Now Choate, superior to Webster in
quickness of apprehension and imagin-
alton, was an indoors man. The larger
portion of his mature life was passed in
the sitting atmosphere of the courts, or
in what Milton calls the still air of de-
lightful studies;" that is, in his library.
He, of course, was not so foolish as to
neglect exercise; but his exercise was
commonly confined to long walks
through the streets or around the Com
mon of Boston. No one ever enjoyed
nature more intensely; but he never
sojourned with her. His friend Charles
G.. Loring, one of his competitors for
the leadership of the Suffolk bar, once
invited him to pass summer day at his
beautiful residence on the Beverly
shore. Mr.. Choate was full of enthusi-
asm as he walked among the woodland
paths, or gazed at the varying aspects of
sky and ocean he doubtless stored up
in his mind images of natural beauty
which flashed out afterward in many a
popular speech or legal argument; but
he exhausted the capacity of the place
to feed his eye and imagination in half
q dozen hours My dear Loring," he
said, in parting, there has not been a
twentieth part of a minute since 1 en-
tered this terrestrial paradise that have
not enjoyed myself to the top of my
bent; but let me tell you that should
you confine me here for week, apart
from my work and books, / know that I
should die from ennui. You are fortu-
nate in being able serenely to delight in
it day after day." If he had been asked
to pass fortnight with Webster at
Marshfield, or at his New Hampshire
farm, and had accompanied him day
after day in his shooting and fishing ex-
petitions, not even Webster's converse
ton could have saved him from being
devoured with an impatient desire to
escape from the monotony of such an
existence. All the eccentric orjgin
of the neighborhood, whom Webster
delighted in year after year, he would
have been delighted in for day, and
then dismissed them from his mind as
intolerable bores; the mountain or
ocean scenery might have enthralled
him for a few days more; but the shoot
ing and fishing, in which Webster took
such pleasure, would have seemed to
him scandalous waste of time, which
might have been more profitably be-
slowed on Eschylus and Aristophanes,
on Thuycidides and Tacitus, on Hooker
and Jeremy Taylor, on Bacon and
Burke, on Shakespeare and Milton.
In one particular Choate excelled
Webster-that of constant high-bred
courtesy to men and women of all ranks.

The secret whereby sheer muslin il
made to assume the now desirable ap

tie or bow is washed in cold water, with
out the use of soap or starch. To the

faint creamy cast. Then wiring out by
twisting the goods into rope, as tight

and shake out, and, if successful, the
