PNEUMONIA

the Disease Is. and How 1t Should lie
Treated.
Pneumonia is inflammation of the
lungs. When the inflammation is on
the lining of the chest. it is pleurisy. The
two may be combined. Pneumonia is
a dangerous disease. and requires
prompt action. 1t is preceded by a
chill. from which it is difficult m
times to restore the natural heat. This
chill is followed by a high fever, in
which the heart beats rapidly.
Chills may come from other causes
than pneumonia, but unless sure of the
cauSc and sure that it is moi dangerous,
it is safe to suspect a coming pneumo-
MIA. and to send at once for a physi-
clan. On no account attempt to man.

A Great General.

Major John A. Rudd. formerly Of the
Confederate army of the Southwest. and
who met Grant and his men on the
gory field of battle several times. said
to the Hatchet yesterday:
Grant was a great General. He has
never been given full credit for his
ability o the full measure of his good
ness of heart. General Grant is loved
by the Southern soldiers. to whom he
has always been . true friend. Should
he die they will be found among the
most sOrrowful of the mourncrs at his
bier. But l hope he may vet survive
the treatment of his scientific At
PENDANTS. Some people in the South
complained of certain objectionable
things that General Grant did. To
these he said: Il am simply enforcing
the laws As I found them on the statute
book. The best way to get rid of a bad
aw is to enforce it strictly"
Major Rudd related the following
anecdOte of the great Captain:
Il called on him several years ago in
behalf of q certain ex-Union officer who
was incarcerated in the Missouri State
prison, unjustly in my opinion. Imade
a plain statement of the cas- to him and
concluded with the remark that, q .
Confederate soldier who had been shot
all to pieces, l asked that the facts in
the case be given the attention they
deserved. General Grant replied: The
matter shall be attended to- On the
following day the Union veteran was
released. Grant saw the injustice Of
his Incarceration at once, and acted
promptly, and in the same manner that
he struck his telling blows during the.
Washington Hdtchet.

Although it has been estimated that
the area of Oil-producing territory in
Russia measures fourteen thousand
square miles. the field at Bsku is the
only one worked. and this covers .
space of three and Il half SQUARE miles

be sufficient for the r-qu r.ments Of the

opened. He says that q IN Shty column
Of oil spOuted up to the height Of one
