To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 When General Butler recommended the people of his commonwealth to fast in view of divers political sins he spoke like proph- ct. But when he recommended the clergy not to speak of these sins, he acted like the vicious COW which attempts to kick over the milkmaid and pail. When he wrote his fast proclamation he simply 'tpEt his foot in it. y But he, like the bad COW, is so pious CD he couldn't help it. CLERIoUs.

DRAMATIC READINGS.

On Thursday evening of this week Pro- lessor Florestan will give dramatic readings in the Atheneum, commencing at 8 o'clock. The Chicago Times says of the professors reading in that city: '"The dramatic readings given by Professor Florestan in the Grand Pacific Hotel were much enjoyed by the com pany in attendance, which was as large as the parlors could accommodate. After 8 brief explanation MT. Florestan recited the fifth act of Phedre' and the third act of 'Othello' with force and power that can hardly be described. He held his hearers spell bound while he delineated the passion of the two remarkable trage- dies. Professor FIorestan has a fine figure, a voice that is full of passion or tender emotion at will, rare facial expression and graceful and timely gesticulstion. In 8 word, Professor Flerestan ezcels in several important points. In addition to this he inn pressed the company very much by the high ideal which he manifestly has of the drannat- ic art, and we fesrlessly say that his soiree of last night was a msgnifcently finished piece of acting" Reserved seats are on sale at Beers drug store, opposite the colleges.

Intelligent readers Of newspapers may
we'll be surprised to learn that there Is
(among unintelIigent readers) belief
That letter postage has been reduced
from three to two cents per half-ounce.
1t seems almost incredible that persons
who can read and write should have
gained this notion merely from the
printed headings in the daily journals.
But II is likely that the deluded people
who have besieged the postoflice clerks
with requests to exchange three-cent
stamps for two-cent stamps, under the
impression that the former are no long,
er OF any use, have gained this scrap Of
news from the hasty reading of dis
play head" in newspaper. There are
people who pride themselves on their
ability to pick up all the really desirable
news of the day in this manner. They
are ''too busy to read anything more

Din. iberia and Typhoid Fever.

The mortality statistics collected by
the Census Bureau furnish some inter-
esting points with regard To the dis
tribution of certain diseases. The num-
Der of deaths during the census year
reported as due to diphtheria is males,
18.849; females, 1888; total. 3S.398;
giving proportion 5l.33 per thousand
of all deaths in which the causes are re-
ported. The total number of deaths
from diphtheria under ore year of age
was 1896; under i've years of age it
was 20,035; between five and fifteen
years of age 16. 1872. In the north At
lantic States the proportion of deaths
from diphtheria to the total number of
deaths having recorded causes was OIL
% per thousand, being in the cities
46.7l per thousand and in the small
towns and rural districts, $3.50. In the
Gulf coast States the proportion of
deaths from diphtheria was but 12.16
per thousand 13.74 in New Orleans
and 1927 elsewhere), and in the lake
regions it was 81.15. Six cities, from
Rochester to Chicago, give an average
of 78. Is, and the remainder OF the re-
gion a. 10 per thousand. The statistics
of enteric or typhoid fever are equally
instructive. The total number of deaths
from typhoid fever reported are, males,
1852; females, 11,053; total 22,9O5,
being in the proportion OF 31.21 per
thousand of all deaths having reported
causes. In the north Atlantic States
the proportion of deaths from this cause
was 16. 26 per thousand in the large
cities and 1895 in the country. In New
Orleans it was 1857. and in the rest of
the Gulf States 3O.02. In thelake region
the deaths from typhoid were l7.16 per
thousand in the large cities and 27.3l in
the remainder of this region. 1t will
be seen from these figures that neither
diphtheria nor enteric fever are especial
ly diseases of the large cities. They APP
pear to be more prevalent in the small
towns and rural districts which have no
general water supply or system OF sew
erage. but obtain their water from
springs and wells, and observe the
usual custom of storing excreta in cess
pools or vaults.

n little black blanket, all of which had
evidently come out of the store within
the last twepty-four hours. After load
ing her with the nuts, Shorty allowed
her to start back toward the lodge, but
thinking that her blanket did not fit her
closely enough, he called her back, and
taking off the empty cartridgc-belt
which held his own overcoat together,
he belted her little blanket snugly
