Duck SHOOTING The sportsmen
here are making daily visits to the
lakes surrounding this city, and are
Laying low for ducks" We are
inclined to think, however, that the
money spent for livery hire and
ammunition would buy all the ducks
that have been inside the borders of
Union county for the past three
weeks, at say fifty cents apiece.
Our account runs about thus: Am
unition $3.50; livery hire, $500;
extra cigars, SO cts; hole snagged
in the most exposed portion of our
best pants, 10cts. Total, $50.
Contra, one flock of ducks seen
passing over Ionia, Nebraska, $4,000.

MME. MoDJEskA, in addition to her
great powers as an actress, is lady, Coun-

OF good sense which gives force and tone
to both her public career and her personal
life. To reporter of the Cincinnati Com

sensibly and even touohingly of her pro

tire from the stage after two years more,

pressibly ssd in the last years of actors
and actresses who linger on the stage.
Last year l met Janauschek-sick. pale,

fortune trying to sustain her great reputa-
ton before a public that cared no longer
for her when her powers began to wane.
why do you not retireg asked. Alas,
she said, my love for the stage kept me,
until now l am forced to play in order to
insure living have no mawkish senti-
ment about i'll love the stage because it
has been good to me; but it is an exaoting
mistress, and l shall forswear allegiance to
it while am in position to do so grace

The Prevalence of Diphtherta.

The secretary Of the Connecticut state
board of health, in his report for Septem-
Der Gust published), has the following
about the prevalence of diphtheria: So far
defective local plumbing, and especially
unventilated drainage pipes in the house.
and the use of cesspoois and privy vaults
in unclean bystreets and localities still
seem to be the principal contributing
agencies. That it is filth disease is shown
by repeated instances. In one case where
several members of one family died from
this cause, the sink pipe had discharged in
to the cellar for long time, creating a
putrescent mass and saturating the soil
where no sun or air could reach it. I'm
fortunately, the cause was not discovered,
until the mother and all her children had
persisted. In looking up the surroundings
where several members of family have
died from dlphtheria, and scarlet fever as
we'll, have again and again found similar
conditions. Oftener, however, the sink
drainage percolates through the cellar wall
or runs down half outside it and half inside.
One would not suppose that privy vaults
used by a whole family would be tolerated
in corner of the cellar, yet have several
times found such state of affairs where
