MOTHER LOVE.

We were at railroad station one night
asst week waiting few hours for train
n the waiting room, in the only rocking
hair, trying to talk brown-eyed boy to
,Ieep. who talks great deal when he
wants to keepawake. Presently freight
rain arrived, and a beautiful little old
woman came in, escorted by great big
ierman. and they talked in German, he
giving her evidently lots OF information
bout the route she was going, and telling
'er about her tickets and her baggage
heck, and occasionally patting her on the
rm. At first our United States baby, who
I'd not understand German. was tickled

van put his hand up tn the good old lad,'s

dollar with one hand and grasped the big
mans hand with the other. and looked
at the little German with an expression
that showed he had mother too, and we
almost knew the old lady was we'll treat

German, and he talked of horse racing
buying and selling and everything that
showed he was BUSINESS man, ready for
any speculation, from buying yerlng

his life was busy one and at times full
of hard work, disappointment, hard

NIGHT-SHIRTS THE CAUSE OF
Badness AMONG MEN,

We cannot cure badness. as bald head
is beyond help, but if those who have
hair and desire to retain it will follow out
advice they need never show a clearing
on the top of their head. The cause OF
badness is the habit men have of pulling
their shirts and night-shirts over then
heads. There are some who will laugh
at this idea, but it is not intended thai
they should, as this is not a funny article.
This is business. The pulling of shirt
or night-shirt off over the head causes
friction on the scalp, which in time sear>

there is from five to six feet of tail to b.

Disease Caused by Bad Water.

A remarkable outbreak OF enteric fever occurred
in Evesham, England, last simmer. Fifty-one
households were invaded with sixty eight cases,
forty-six of the patients falling i'll during the
fortnight ending August :. The houses in which
the patients lived were in many instances seve-
raj miles apart, their sanitary circumstances va
ried widely, sewers aud water supply were Ell
tirely different, and the milk supply was deriv-
ed from several independent sources. In these
circumstances il was no easy matter for health
officers to discover the source of the epidemic.
Ii was found, however, that all the patients at
tackled before August s had attended regatta
at EvcslIam. and that they had all been present
in one particular meadow. Further inyestiga-
ton developed the fact that thirty-two of the
forty six had certainly, and eleven mad most
probably, partaken of refreshments at a certain
stall. The other three were in doubt. la one
instance two of the party of three drank lemon
ade, while the third took nothing; the two had
the fever, the other escaped. The water used
in the refreshment stalls had been drawn from
well near the meadow, the water of which was
found to he so contaminated that it was at once
closed the belief of the health officer being
that this polluted well had been the immediate
source of the epidemic. The ice As well as the
water used in beverages is often a source of per-
ill., since the ponds from which it is cut are too
frequently foul, if not infected. The theory
that water in freezing clears itself of noX-
ious germs has been shown by careful trial to he
untrue. Contaminated water yields impure
ice, no matter how slowly the freezing is ar-
romplishel

Infiammability of Greasy Rags.

A French scientist has lately experimental
with greasy rags to ascertain the degree of
their infiammabilty under certain conditions.
He took for this purpose a quantity of cotton
rags, saturated them with linseed oil, wrung
them out, and placed them, together with dry
cotton, in box Il inches long, inches wide
and feet high in which he put thermometer
in order to watch the increase of temperature.
The room in which the experiment was made
was kept at temperature of no Farenheit.
The mercury began to rise, and showed within
an hour and quarter 2i0-, smoke began to
come through the assures, aud rs air
was let in, the flames burst out. In another ex-
pertinent, made under the same temperature,
cotton saturated with linseed oil, ignited within
five or six hours. Rapeseed oil caused ignition
after ten hours. In another room where the
temperature was left at loo f., cotton mixed
with little olive oil, and put in paper, burnt
after six hours, castor oil required more than
twenty -four hours, and fish oil two hours. Sper-
maceti oil, free of glycerine, did not ignite at
all, neither heavy tar, coal tar. slate oils.
These experiments show very clearly the neces-
sity Of a scrupnlOus watching Of oily rags which
too often carelessly left around, after clean
iuu machinery

Henry Clay Quoting SHAKESPEARE.

Henry Clay. who left a seat in the Senate for
one in the House. but after many years service
at the other end Of the Capitol returned to the
Senate chamber, exercised powerful control
over the politics Of the Republic. Idolized by
the Wing party. his wonderful powers of per-
sonal magnetism. aud his rich, manly voice
would enable him to hold an audience for hours.
He made but little preparation, and used hut
few notes in speaking; but when he wrote out
his r,msrks for the press, his manuscript was
remarkably neat. without interlineations or
blots He seldom INDUCED in classical allu-
siuns and his occasional attempts to make quo
tatiouS of English poetry werr generally fail
urrs On one occasion, he nsed the well known
phrase from Hamlet, LET the CALLED jade wiure,
our withers are unwTung," but misquoted the
last syllable, calling it ''un-strnHg.' The gen
tlemrn who sat on either side of him noticed
the error, and simultaneously whispered, sun

HIMSELF and with stronger emphasis repeated,

close of which Clay, who had meanwhile ascer-
tanned his mistake. shook his head and said,
with one Of his inimitable smiles: "Ah, mur-
der will ont Unwrung's the word" The fas-
cination which he exercised over all with whom
he had personal intereourse-even his political
adversaries-was remarkable; hut he was i'm

Mseful aud Curious.
Pneumonia and Colds.

The prevalence of pneumonia in many parts Of
the country has led 10 the interviewing of many
prominent citizens in New York as to the cause
and prevention of the disease. The large NUN.
Der of cases is undoubtedly due to damp resi-
dences and offices, and rooms superheated in eff
forts to dry ont premises in the overhowed dis
tricts.
DR.. VIM. A. Hammond mentions as a contribu-
ting eause the well nigh universal habit Of liv-
ing in oyerheated rooms in the winter. When
il is necessary for persons living in such an at
mosphere TO go ont, the great difference in the
exterior temperature, strikes npon their organi-
zation, the cold penetrates them, and pneumo-
MIA kills them. DR.. Hammond keeps his Office
and reception room at temperature OF Ga, and
thinks it greatly lessons the danger of taking
cold when going out. OF course one must be
warmly clad TO sit in such temperature. lie
thinks, too, that the excessive use of alcoholic
drinks open n door for the disease
Another eminent physician finds that persons
taken with it are generally in a low and weak
ened condition, either from mental anxiety,
overwork or the state Of the weather. Winter
dampness predisposes people with disease,
though a cold seldom does more than develop il
from conditions already existing in the system.
The preventive measures against the dreadful
disease are: Keep yourself in good condition; do
not habitually overwork or under exercise; avoid
sudden chills or take prompt measures to restore
| the circulation; drink and eat temporarily;
breathe pure air and do not rob nature of sleep.
In regard TO colds which are extraordinarily pre-
| valent. DIR. Frank BOsworth, IN recent lecture
| in New York, makes some valuable suggestions
A cold is Inflammation Of some organ, generally
| the mucus membrane of the nose and throat air
passages and is due to the loss of animal heat.
| A cold must not be left to go As it came. II no
| means are taken to cure it, the acute symptoms
often disappear, leaving behind them mild
| chronic inflammation. This smouldering fire is
ready to kindle up again on a very slight expo
| sure and we say thin: Il catch cold very ca
silly To prevent catching cold, we need suffi-
| cent clothing to withstand the cold, but moth
ing is more injurious than wrapping up unne-
cessarily. Living in highly heated rooms is an
| other source of danger. We must protect our
selves from the variations Of the temperature by
more or less clothing. II, after all precautions,
| we have a cold, what is the hest way TO cnre it!
Prof. Bosworth's prescription is ''the sld-fash
