The Periis of DipnIheria.

Il have had two new cases of diph-
iberia this morning" said well-known
Brooklyn physician, who has made the
disease a subject of special study, land
l was called In so late that L have great
fears as to the result of both of them.
You see, the great thing is to meet the
disease before it has acquired strength,
and l impress upon all my patients who
have children the necessity of sending
for me the moment any of the little ones
exhibit such symptoms as lassitlde, sick
headache, or even sore throat, though
the latter is by no means an early indi-
cation. Of course, / cannot always tell
positively whether the case is one of
diphtheria or not, but if / have the
slightest doubt on the subject L act as
though / were certain, and at once adj
minister remedies to check the complaint.
The practice of waiting for developments
Is, 1 think, q fatal one, for diphtheria,
once developed, Is desperately hard
thing to deal with.
GA few winters ago I gave up my gen.
eral practice to brother physician, and
went down among the tenement houses
and poor quarters where diphtheria was
raging to try to learn something about
the disease. think succeeded. / be-
heve l can now check it even when it is
somewhat advanced, but it cost me far
more than anticipated L used to car
ry gumdrops about in my pocket to give
to the sick children, and one day, after
I had changed my clothes and disinfect-
ed myself, 1 went home to my family.
had taken the gumdrops out of the
pocket of the clothes had taken of, and
took them home with me and gave one
to my little boy. Half an hour after
ward was called out again, and when I
returned, four hours later, my wife told
me that the child was ILL., The moment
looked at him / saw that he had diph-
liberia, and was Mortified to see the prog
ress the disease had made. But if he
had been strange child L believe I
could have stopped it. As it was, ]
could not beer to see him suffering so /
intrusted the case to another physician,
and within twenty-four hours from the
time of his seizure he died. And here
let me say that one of the most terrible
blunders that parents of children are
apt to make is In letting their little ones
go out, or carelessly stray into draughts,
after the disease appears to be wholly
eradicated. Such appearances, my ex-
perience has taught me, are almost in
variably deceptive The germs of the
disorder still Turk in the system, and
the slightest cold or indisposiEion is pref
ty sure to bring ON a relapse that no skill
can cure. "-NeaU I1OTi; SIM.

They must have learned that she was
alone-that she had this money, and
they had come to get it. For moment
she was paralyzed. She remembered
Harry's last words "You must guard

She ran to the sleeping Sarah and

their situation.

There was no storming of shutters.
They heard the key applied to the door
softly. 1t opened, and man followed
by two others confidently entered. The
first figure walked directly to the stairs.
He had taken but step when three
shots came in rapid succession. There
wasa heavy thud this man dropped and
the other two turned and fed. Sarah
ran to the window and two horses
galloped down the lane.
"Don't faint, madam there is work
yet to do, said the tramp.
Mamie caught hold of the rail for sup
port, and then went into the room.
"Get candle, Sarah
They lighted candle and gave it to
the tramp, who went down stairs, the
two women following with brandy and
ammonia. The man had fallen back
ward, and lay with his face up and head
toward the door.
"Aha!" said the tramp, curiously,
holding the light up and peering into
the dead mans face, "he's fixed. Shot
through the head"
Mamie advanced and gazed at the
white face, across which thin thread
like stream of blood was trickling. She
fell back with wild shrek.
1t was her husbands dead body which
lay before her.-Nea0 York World.

THE BROOK.
By JAMES wHITcoMB RILEY.

Little brookl Little brooki
You have such happy look
Such q very merry manner, as you swerve and curve
and crook
And your rpples, one and one,
Reach each others hands and run
Like laughing little children in the sun.
Little brook, sing to me;
Sing about a bumble-bee
That tumbled from lly-ben and grumbled num-
blingly,
Because he wet the film
OF his wings, and had to swim,
While the water bugs raced round and laughed
at him.
Little brook-sing song
OF leaf that sailed along
Down the golden braided center Of your current
swift and strong,
And dragon fly that lit
On the fitting rim of it,
And rode away and wasn't scared a bit.
And sing-how oft IN glee
Came truant boy like me,
Who loved to lean and listen to your Hitting melody,
Till the gurgle and refrain
OF your music in his brain
Wrought happiness as keen to him as pain.
Little brook-laugh and weep
Do not let the dreamer weep;
Eing him all the songs of summer till he sink in soft
est sleep;
And then sing soft and low
Through his dreams Of long ago
Sing back to him the rest he used to know!

81 have seen somewhere o statement
that COW was sold at auction in this
country, some years ago, for $40, 800. Is
this so; and if so; in what did her value
consist? Please tell doubter something
about it If you can"
The statement is true. The COW was
famous short-horn owned by SamueI
Campbell, wealthy stock-breeder and
manufacturer, residing at New York Mills,
near Utica, n. Y. About one hundred
animals at this sale brought over $780,
900. This particular COW was bid off by
the agent of rich Englishman for breed
ing purposes. After buying her the
new owner came to the conclusion that
he had paid too dear for the whistle, and
instructed his agent, instead of serding
her to England, to sell her in this coun-
try at the best attainable price. After a
little the agent found customer by
knocking off exactly $4,000. The new
owner-a gentleman residing at Ford
ham, n. Y, we think-kept the COW un-
til she dropped cali, whereupon she
was taken sick with milk fever, or some
thing like it, and died. Her value con-
sisted In her pedigree rather than In any
wonderful capacity as milk producer or
butter maker, or, to put it in mercantile
phrase, her value consisted in what she
brought her owner-and to the last two
owners that wasn't much, unless in the
way of valuable experience. Philadel-

The Distress of a Son.

A dog rushed out of a yard on Gal
weston avenue and bit an elderly lady.
She was taken home in hack, and In
about ten minutes her son, big, stout
six-footer, put in an appearance and
wanted to see the owner of the dog, who
expected that killing would be the least
that would happen to him
"Your brute of dog has bit my poor,
aged mother, who il weak and feeble.
She is 80 years old, and the sons eyes
filled with tears.

the dog, feeling very uncomfortable.

Mamie took the key with her, and
the two descended to shut up the house.
After they had made everything secure,
they went back upstairs.
"You must sleep in my room to-

dragged in her bedding and made pal

chairs against the locked door. The
rain was still falling heavily and the
night as black as ink. The mistress and
maid went to bed, and although worried
and anxious went to sleep.
After midnight Mamie found herself
awake, and a bright light shining in the
room. She started up, and saw that it
was the moonlight. The storm had
cleared away at last. She got up,
unable to compose herself Immediately,
and went to the window. The moon
was shining brightly. AS she stood, look

saw away down the road, for it was

such an unusual sight at this hour that
she stood watching them as they came
nearer. To her surprise they turned up
