Diphtheritic Sore Throat.

AS diphtheria is one of the most ter
rible maladies, person is often startled
on being told by his physician that he
has dphtheritic sore throat The dis
eases, however, are not the same. Mel
Their is the latter a lower type of the
former.
In diphtheria, while the disease local
ICES itself in the tonsils-and may extend
down through the air passages-there is
a general poisoning Of the system, which
shows itself in peculiarly depressing
fever. In the diphtheritic sore throat,
the disease is confined to the tonsils and
adjacent parts, with only a slight general
disturbance.
In diphtheria, the emulation which
covers the tonsils-and may cover other
parts-is of a leather-like consistency
(whence the name from the Greek word,
iplttteria-leather), and adheres to the
substance of the flesh; In diphtheritic
sore throat, the emulation is simply o
curdle-like matter which is poured out
from the glands of the infamed tonsils.
At the first glance, however, it resembles
the real leathery exudation of diphthe-
ria.
In removing the diphtheritic mem
brane, the skin is abraded and bleeds;
but the removal of the curdy matter from
the tonsils is like removing putty from
the hand.
Diphtheria is always infectious; ordi-
nary diphtheritic sore throat is not. The
symptoms of the latter are enlarged ton
sis, very red, with spots of cheesy secre-
ton at the mouths of their many glands
cutting pain in swallowing, and some
fever for few days In most cases, only
one tonsil is affected; still, even this may
be so enlarged as to materially encroach
upon the fauces. The disease is what is
now termed ga filth disease" and is due
to contamination in the water or air.
The most frequent source is sewer-gas,
from imperfect house drainage. - Youths

How Old Is Glass?

The oldest specimen of pure glass
bearing anything like date is little
nodded lions head, bearing the name
of an Egyptian King of the eleventh
dynasty, in the Slade collection at the
British Museum. That is to say, at a
period which may be moderately placed
as more than 1000 years B. G. glass
was not only made, but made with skill
which shows that the art was nothing
new. The invention of glazing pottery
with film of varnish of glass is so old
that among the fragments which bear
inscriptions of the early Egyptian mon
archy are beads possibly of the first
dynasty.
Of later glass there are numerous ex-
amples, such as bad bead found at
Thebes, which has the name of Queen
Hatassoo, or Haspep, of the eighteenth
dynasty. Of the same period are vases
and goblets and many fragments. 1t
cannot be doubted that the story pre-
pared by Pliny, which assigns the credit
of the invention to the Phenicians, is
so far true that those adventurous mer-
chants brought specimens to other coun-
tries from Egypt. DR.. Schliemann
found disks of glass in the excavations
at Mycen@, though Homer does not
mention it as substance known to him.
That the modern art of the glass-blow-
er was known long before is certain from
representations among the pictures on
the walls of tomb at Benz Hassan, of
the twelfth dynasty; but much older
picture, which probably represented the
same manufacture, is among the half
obliterated scenes in chamber of the
tomb of Thy, at Shakkara, and dates
from the time of the fifth dynasty
time so remote that it is not possible,
in spite of the assiduous researches of
many Egyptologers. to give it date in
years.

The Quiet Worker.

Doubtless these are skeptical days.
The hearts of many good men fail them.
They fear what may come to pass. In
this they err. Their fears blind them.
They do not see that faith is contending
against unbelief, nor that goodness is
working to overcome wickedness.
There is an old Hebrew saying as
stimulating to those who take it into
their hearts as mountain air to the
dweller in the valley. It afirms that,
"when the enemy shall come in like a
food, the Spirit Of the Lord shall lift up
standard against him.
One of these standards stood erect in
the city of New York for sixteen years.
It was small flag, but it was bravely
borne aloft in the thickest of the battle
against evil.
He who carried it was a policeman,
but he was of the stuff out of which mar
tyrs and heroes are made. His brother
policemen and the roughs knew him,
and they, half in jest and half in praise,
dubbed him with knightly title-'"The
Missionary Policeman"
In 1862 he was Methodist preacher
somewhere in Connecticut. Suddenly
he resigned his charge and stopped
preaching. He went to New York,
joined the police force, and was appoint
ed, at his own request, a patrolman in
the vilest part of the city.
He was no longer preacher in the
technical sense of that official term, but
there were few clergymen in the me-
tropolis who preached as effectually as
he.
His congregations were made up of
three or four children, young in years,
old in wickedness, or half-dozen reck-
less "roughs" and more reckless women.
He won the children by his kindness.
They came to love him and heed his
words. Not rough in the district knew
him as reverend" but many had
learned to revere him.
He did good to his brother policemen.
When they we're in distress "the mis-
sionary" always had little money to
lend them. That softened their hearts
and he dropped a seed-word therein.
So he went on, day after day, doing all
the good he could, and making no fuss
about it. His plan was a simple one
bIlC SLOdu lOICOC VI AhUulO dIO FOlJ
in their working-to do what his hand
found to do.
One day, after he had been working in
his quiet way for sixteen years, he was
walking his "beat." Suddenly a pain
smote him in the head in few minutes
he was unconscious. Loving hands car
ried him to d hospital. There he died,
with neither wife nor child near him.
But was he alone? His funeral was a
plain one, but some of the few who fol-
lowed the body to the grave thought of
that other funeral procession, when the
angels carried the body of Lazarus to
Abraham's bosom.
What cared that policeman for skep-
ticism, except to relieve its woes and
warn against its fruits? He believed,
therefore he sDorked. Youths Com

Grimes ia France.
lTo,,Io- No-.-

singular and interesting table of sta
tistics has just been published ii Paris. The
budget of French crime has been brought
ont, aud the political economy of punish
meDt supplied with fresh installment of
of facts and figures. A criminal budget
extending over five years supplies Us with a
rough average from which we may make
our own deductions. The chancellor of this
criminal exchecquer points to his budget
with pride, and like other dealers in figures
ard tables, is anxious to show that there is
no canse for alarm or dependency. The
population of France may be- roughly
stated at about 37,000,000, and
the annual average crop of murders is
about 200, of ipfapucides about 100, aud of
unjustiiRble hOmocides about 1913. 1t is curl
Gus to find how very little variation there is
IN the annual harvest of crime. Thus, ia
the gravest charge, 300 vas the greatest re-
turn af murders, and 1876 the least. and there
is the some equality of proportion in the 9TH
er categories. The return gives emphasis to
tins feet as explaining the singular circum-
stances that in the course of five years there
was almost the same number of capital SEN
fences carried out. At the last census the
population of Great Britain amounted to 49,
100, GOO, but the number OF murders was by
no means SO uniform. 1t would be consola-
ton for a Frebchnan to know that only
ore II a million of his fellow countrymen is
guillotiued, were it not that 'extenuating cir
cGmstances' leave a wide margin of doubt.

CURED at the trial of sailor in New
England seaport.
The sailor, after having drunk to ex-
cess in low saloon, had quarreled
with the landlord, and beaten him Sc
verely with bottle snatched from the
bar.
AS the case admitted of no legal de-
Tense, the sailors lawyer, putting in a
plea of guilty, addressed himself to the
court in order to secure as light SEN
tence as possible. He urged that the
prisoner had acted under the Influence
of liquor-and very poor liquor at that.
e But, sir" said the court, not in
clined to view the appeal with favor,
eve are to consider the aggravated
character of the offense. Your client
admits he assaulted this man with a
bottle"
Eyes, your Honor" interposed the
witty lawyer, "we admit all that; but
beg you to remember that this man
first assaulted my client aOith its con-
tents"
Tho court smiled at this unexpected
point, and Jack got the benefit Of it in
light sentence.
