BELLEVUE La, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1880. :

Burton arranged with the light-keeper
to let him send Wally to city school,
and for the next four years the boy
lived away from the little house on the
sands making only occasional visits to
his home. 50 t.ss@
Then Mr.. Burton took him into his
Office, where he worked faithfully for
two years; but his old life by the sea
caused longing for a sailors career
and his employer wisely allowed him to
60 upon cruise in one of his ships.
Upon the following voyage he was made
a mate and this year he is to command
new ship now being built Captain
Wally was asked the other day to sue-
gest a name for the new craft, and
promptly gave as his choice the Elsie.
And Elsie Burton, who is now an art
lst, has painted two pictures for the
Captains cabin. One is called Sc The
Loss OF tha Argonaut," and the other,
"Wally, the Wreck-Boy."-

Cultivating Infectious Diseases In Chill
dren.

At recent meeting of the Orrell
Local Board, near Wjgan. in Lam
cashire, the clerk, in an Illustration of
the difficulties which beset the control
of infection, mentioned q practice
which exists in that district, Of mothers
deliberately exposing their young chill
dren to the infection of scarlet fever
and whooping cough, under the belief
that it was better that the children
should have the disease while young.
He designated the belief as g super
stition. We would rather term it q
tradition, arising from the imperfectly
understood results of experience.
The practice described is by no means
confined to the part of Lancashire un-
der consideration. Our own knowl-
edge of it is somewhat extensive, but
the exposure, 80 far as we have met
with it, has been invariably limited to
the obviously mild cases of infectious
disease, and two elements entered into
the practice. First, there was the
practically universal belief that the in
fectious diseases of children had to be
undergone by every child and the
sooner they were got over the better
for the child. both as to its chance of
recovery and its subsequent welfare;
and, next, there was the belief that if a
child contracted the disease from a mild
case it would have mild attack, hence
mild cases were selected to catch the
disease from.
In both these elements there was a
substratum of truth, which long ex-
perience and common observation had
shown and which was unchecked by the
more precise observation of the medical
man.-London Lancet.

All In Fun.

There was sharp-nosed, red-headed
woman there who wanted to see if ga
man by the name of Peter had been

the corridor crying:
Peter! Peter! .pumpkin-eater ~
Had wife and he did beat 'erl''
'It's an internal lier' growled a
voice in cell No. 2, and Bijah returned
and replied that Peter was there and
apparently in the best of health.
"Then want to see him."
"For what?''
For none Of your business r.
"But you can't

81 want to tell him not to own up"
"To what?''
To throwing me down stairs.''
Bijah took off his coat, frightened his
suspenders, and began to deliver his
opinion on the female sex, but before
he was half way through His Honor
came in and prepared to open court.
Peter was the first man out. His
face was badly scratched, his hair
sticking in every direction and his
eyes looked as anxious as porcelain cas-
ters as he came before the bar.

he threw me down stairs" said the
sharp-nosed woman, as she rose upsp
"Only in fun-only in fun," growled
Peter as he gave her a loving wink.
''Then this man is your husband?''
queried His Honor.

there's not better man IN America

"You whoop, yell, scream, smash
furniture and pound each other"
Eyes, sir, but it's all in fun, for we
love each other, don't we, PeterP'
"Yes, we love-" sighed the husband.
"Maybe you do, but that's curious
way of showing it. l am convinced
that about thirty days in the cooler
would do Peter worlds of good"
"Then let me 60 with him, sir. 1t
would break my heart to know that he
was boosted up and was left to keep
house with no one but the cat, and him
away half the time.''
The Court chewed up two inches of
new pen-holder and arrived at the con-
clusion that the people of the State of
Michigan could stand it if Peters wife
could, and he was allowed to depart.
Bijah said he would wager dozen Cal.

they had gone two blocks. He was
right. They had not travelled two hun
dred feet from the station-house door
before she struck him in the back with
both fists at once, and he laid his hand
on her mouth with force that sent an
echo up to the third-story windows

The Legal Profession.

While almost every class of business
and almost every profession are profit
ing by the general prosperity, we hear
so many complaints of continued stag
nation in legal business from members
Of that profession that we are con-
strained to believe there is something
in it. The lawyers increase with great
regularity each year, but the business
apparently does not. The Chicago
Tribune has been investigating this
matter in that city, and the report that
it has to make from the rank and file
of practicing lawers is that "business is
positively frightful with us nowadays.
The lawyers are having q hard time ,of
it. The fact is there is no business for
anybody in our profession, unless it is
among some of the oldest ones who
may have some old unfinished business
on hand" We have heard similar
complaints of the situation in this city,
and it would not take very searching
canvass to find as discouraging views
expressed, not by pettifoggers and dull
lafds, but by as bright young men as
there are in the city or State. In spite
OF capacity and enterprise, business has
actually declined among the mass of
practicing lawyers and those who have
had regulations to make and business
to build up have had a bard time of it
indeed. Of course there is certain
fortunate percentage, quite small and
select, that has all the business it
can do; but as profession, the
inducements to young men are not great.
1t would be difficult to decide in what
profession competition was most in
tense. But it is probable that the law
suffers quite as much by overcrowding,
even when legal business is good, as
any other. Of the learned callings Coun-
try boys, especially when ambitious to
leave the farms and the trades for moro
purely brain work, most naturally grav-
itate toward the law. In its external
manifestations it appeals more strongly
to them than medicine or theology, and
journalism is still more vague. They
see the lawyer about town and he is the
important man Of the village. He is
leader in town politics, he makes
speeches at local gatherings, he is .
force in almost every town interest in
which he becomes interested, and the
boy takes in the effect and says: ~
Will leave thefarm as soon as possible,
get an education and be lawyer" The
city lad has the benefit of q more in
structive experience, and in the absence
OF statistics we are inclined to believe
that the ranks of the profession are
swollen moro proportionally from the
country than from the city. The fact,
however, seems to be that there are
more lawyers than can thrive in the
business there is to do. One reason,
and significant one, is that legal
methods have become SO intricate and
justice from litigation so much matter
OF speculation, that people are doing
without lawyers more than they used
to. For this lawyers as law makers
are largely responsible, and they can
not hope for much relief until they do
something to invite it by meeting the
public on more nearly common ground.

pure breath must be the most Notifying
and unpleasant to its possessor, and it is
the mostinexcusiblea and offensive in society
and yet the cause of it may easily be 70
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with

Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors of the weed.
