There is no period IN . woman's Life
when she is 90 happy Is when she is be.
ing courted. That accounts for the
fact that o great many of them permit
themselves to DO courted by men who
have no right to do such thing. They
like the gallantries Of courtship, the
playful words Of suitor, his constant
animation, his hundreds Of small com.
pliments, his readiness and agility in
extending his hand whether it is needed
or not. his inspirational conversation,
his self sacrifice and unvarying devo-
ton. Heavens, what is there that Q
man will not do when he is in love? What
else will drive HIM to such lengths Of
brilliancy and daring? 1t is then that
he becomes the cock bird, puts on his
most brilliant plumage. struts about in
his greatest glory and reaches the most
beautiful perfection Of his nature. He
writes long letters, spends his money
like prodigal, is ready to 60 here and
there or anywhere, rain or shine, ct the
beck and call Of his fair mistress wears
bis best clothes, walks with the erect
ness and elasticity Of trained athlete,
smiles on all mankind and is being
much beyond and above the common
run Of the race. All this he is to the
woman to whom he is playing the
lover. She takes him for what he
seems to be not what he is. Perhaps
he may turn out to be what he seems
o be, perhaps not-generally not.

1t is undoubtedly bad practice TO cul-

French Academy Of Medicine by DR..
Delthil, who said that the vapors Of
liquid tar and turpentine would dissolve
the fibrinous exudations which choke M
the throat in Group and diphtheria.
DIR. Delthil's process was described.
He pours equal parts Of turpsntine

mixture. A depse resinous smoke
arises, which obscures the air of the

The fibrinous membrane soon becomes
detached, and the patient coughs up
microbicides. These when caught in a

smoke. In the course Of three days
