charms of her younger sister that after a

Diphtheria and its Treatment.

From the Springfield Mass Republican.
D.phtheria is disease which springs
from the growth of real fungus on some
of the mucous surfaces of the system,
more generally of the throat. 1t may be
spread by contact of the mucous surfaces
of healthy person, as in kissing, and is
to admitted degree epidemi: :. From the
local parts affected it spreads to the
whole body, affecting the muscular and
nervous systems, vitiating the lymph and
nutrient fluids, and producing paralysis.
As soon as the bacteriIm or fungus APP
pears in white patches on the throat, it
should no more be neglected than bleed
ing cash or broken arm, and there is
almost as little need of fatal termina-
ton of one incident as of the other. It
has been found by actual experiment,
both in and out of the human system.
that this bacterium is killed by several
drugs, the safest and most certain of
which is chlorine water, diluted with the
addition of from two to four times the
volume of water. This wash is harmless
even when swallowed, and Is pretty
certain to arrest the disease.
The great cyclopedia Of Zlemessen, on
the practice of medicine, gives. the high
est place to this method of treatment.
To keep the patient we'll housed and
warm, with additional flannel clothing
ii necessary, and to keep the system well
nourished and the bowels open are mat
tiers of nursing often neglected; but, with
care in these respects and early applica-
of hn Oh cf.1
there is no need of the disease producing
q fatal termination. or even the debilita-
ting illness and painful authorizations
which go together in It's later stages. AS
to the origin of diphtheria. the weight OF
testimony is that it belongs to the class
of filth diseases, but further than that its
source is not clear Families which
would be scandalized at the suggestion
of untidiness are attacked, while others

A Sailors Story.

It was weather-bea.en sailor we over
heard in a Clay Street restaurant, the
other day, kindly giving few reminis-
cences of travel to some lady friends he
was treating to corned beef and cabbage.
Talking about lions," he went on to say,
"they are the intelligence animal what
is. A Gurus thing happened once when
we were On the East Coast last cruise.
One OF our officers went ont hunting deer,
and the next morning his body was found
bit clean in two, but with his watch
missing. Nobody understood it. Next
day the quartermaster's body was found
In the same condition, with his watch
gone. Seemed as though lion and
pickpocket were kindly going s1acks, as
1t were, only the lion didn't eat nothiug.
Next day two middies disappeared
same result. None of the sailors were
hurt-had no watches, you see. OF course
the whole crew turned out for grand
hunt, and at last we killed lion sixteen
feet long. In his stomach we found all
the watches, still running. Cold fact,
assure you. The ships surgeon, who cut
the breast open, said he wasn't in good
health-had torpid liver. So we seed
at once that the animal had killed all
the officers just to swallow their watches

@Neyer mind that he said ''come to
my establishment. All ask of you is
to remain there until you are well, or
until say you are incarable."
@T The doctor is an enthusiast, He does
much of that sort of thing to o great in
Jury to his pocket. But his theory is
that if you make leg, or arm. or back
bone, or any part of your body, do what
nature intends it shall do, after awhile
nature will come in and execute its own
work. @
He found employment for his patient
as copyist and then devoted himself to
her as if she had been the daughter of a
landlord of fashionable hotel, and that
is the highest position we can think of.
And for seven long years that poor
girl worked day after day in the compli-
Gated machinery of the doctors hotel for
invaIids. And slowly, Oh! so slowly, yet
surely, she gained on the enemy. First
one crutch went and then the other. The
cane followed; and, after long, long
time, the lameness disappeared, and at
last she stood up in the image OF her
maker, human; handsome and liable to
love. ~ 81 &EaA ass x
The secret of all success in fictitious lit.
erature is in that one word endeavor. To
struggle for something that seems almost
impossible to win, to make that struggle
heroic in lis self deninal and high hope,
is to seize on and hold the popular heart.
If there is success there is delight; if
failure, there is grief, as the fictitious
characters were alive and very near to
US.
Our little heroine was fighting for her
life. Her love had became her life. Day
after day, month after month, year that
run into year, she had but one thought, or
rather one hope, and that was to appear
before her love, worthy his love and not
his horror.
The long, dreary struggle was drawing
to close, when one day she happened to
pick up a Western journal, and suddenly
she threw it from her with wild cry.
The good doctor and his attendants could
not comprehend the cause. She had
caught the name of her lover, and read a
brief notice of bis marriage.
Poor little girl! She felt more wretched
in her strength, health and beauty than
when helpless cripple she sat in the
room at Washington listening to the
sweet, sympathetic words of the man who
had forgotten her.

What is Thought


A thought is but a mental link,
In life's connected chain,
And he thinks well who learns TO think,
By guiding well the train.
Often our thoughts are unexpressed,
And thus forgotten seem,
Yet mind like ocean cannot rest,
Though needless as dream.
But hegthat wills his heart to keep sss
Must see how fleet Is thought,
And he who doth harvest reap
Must treasure lessons taught.
And he must watch the thoughts that rise
As sentinels watch their foe,
If he approve himself as wise
Their grace and wisdom strew
Here mind expands, if we survey
What heaven to US has wrought,
Since God himself has made our clay.
Receptacles of thought.
This is the wstchword, keep your heart,
Your duty to fulfill,
Thus strength of purpose to impart,
And charms of love instil.
Not with the angels can we vie,
We're little lower made,
Nor can we boast their power to fly
From harm that makes afraid.
Tis God in Christ who is the source
Of every living stream,
And Christ our sacrifer the force
That gives to thought theme.
Wretched is he who passes by
The work ofself control,
Just like heath or desert dry
Where winds tempestuous roll.
