condemned without hearing, and very often in

our duty to protest against wholesale and often

DOes Kerosene OH Cause Diphtheria.
DfphtheTa has been unusually prevalent in
Connections the past year, and the state board of
health has been trying to learn the reason. There
has been no general epidemic, but the disease hes
been endemic in Stamford, New Canaan, Green
wich, Neriden and some other places. But the
only report that the board has received that has
the merit Of any discovery respecting this disease
has been verbal and informal one from Meridef
which will be ampltfied with formal and detailed
statement. IL will be quite likely to attract the
attention OF all physicians
There have been good many cases in Meriden.
and some OF them could not be traced to any OF
the causes, such as uncleanl1ness and Nth pres
ence, TO which the disease is ascrfbed. It was
noticed that not q single fatal case occurred I'm
the town in any house where gas or candles were
used. In every case the family in which 1t ap-
peared were in the habit OF using Kerosene oil ex-
same results. In one case In Meriden the kero-
sene lamps were removed and candles subSti-
ted for light, and there was immediate Improve
Eent in the patient. But by accident night or
two lAteT Kerosene lamp was brought into the
sick chamber and left burning all night. The
patient next day grew worse and died.
A very careful inquiry based on this discovery
win be made. II may be nothing more than q
coincidence, but already IL has been learned
that persons st1cken with diphtheria In the vcin-
tty Of kerosene Oil reflnerfes rarely recover The
state board Of health = inclined to the opinion

IL has long ago become the mode OF the amta.
tious young members OF parliament TO adjure sack
and TO patronize instead the less stimulating
Ap0llinaris, which latter Is the more frequent
drink than the once universal bottle OF champagne
or claret. AT one time Mr.. Gladstone had In his
cabinet large number OF sworn teetotalers. but
their resolution did not hold Out, and Str Charles
dixie was the one man out OF the whole crowd
who persisted In remaining teetOlaier
Mt. Gladstone never smokes, but he drinks wine
at dinner, and always winds UP with a glass OF
port, which Is his especial fav0rtte. Mr.. Cham
beriain never has long and strong cigar out OF
his mouth, and drinks champagne at meals. Mr..
John Morley also drinks champagne but has MOI
been able to get beyond the cigarette I'm smOkfng'
Sir W. Harcourt, who, though he looks extremely
strong, is one Of dyspepsia's many parfamentary
martyrs, was teetotaler for some time, but has
gone back TO elaret Lord Randolph Churchii
drinks very little, but smokes very considerably
Mr.. Labouchere Is SO inveterate a smoker that he
usually carries about him a box about four times

''Walk In the light.n
@, Father, make this true Of me-
That sins dark night
May never hide thy child from thee
Thus did pray,
And said: Tomorrow will be bri4ht.m
But on that day
plunged into rayless night.
My only boy,
As he was walking by my side,
My life. my Joy,
Was stricken with disease and died
At first said:
My prayer of faith has not been heard
My boy is dead"
But then there came to me this word:
Walk in the Light.
And fellowship with God will be
Thy chief delight
My eyes are opened now see
My pain and woe,
When from my aflns my sol was torn,
Have made HE know
What God in His Sons death has borne
And that for me!
Why should l, then, in grief repine?
Lord. let it be
In everything: Thy viii, not mine"

Tired Eyes.

From the Herald of Health
People speak about their eyes being tired, mean
Ing that the retna or seeing portion OF the eye is
fatigued, but such Is not the case, as the retina
hardly ever gets tired The fatigue is in the inner
and outer muscles attached to the eyeball and the
muscle OF accommodation, which surrounds the
lens OF the eye. When near object is to be looked
at this muscle reiaxes and allows the lens to
thicken increasing its retroactive power The inner
and outer muscles are used in covering the eye on
the object to be looked at, the inner one being
especially used when near object is looked at tt
Is In the three muscles mentioned that the fatigue
fs felt and relief is secured temporarily by closing
the eyes or gazing at far-dlStant objects The
usual indication OF strain Is q redness of the rim
OF the eyeaid, betokening congessed state OF the
inner surface, accompanied with some pain.
sometimes this WEAKNESS indicates the need of
cases the true remedy is to massage the eye and
its surroundings aS far as may be with the hand
wet In cold water.

Rio Grande Letter to st. Louis Globe Democrat
About three months ago party Of select rust
lers, having their headquarters in Frio county,
Tex, crossed over to Mexico on horse-stealing
expedition. They raided q ranch about thirty
miles from the border, killed three men, captured
about forty horses and We're heading for home in
triumph with their booty when they were inter-
cepted by party OF Mexican rustlers within
mile OF the south bank of the river. fierce fight
enSued couple OF dashing freebooters on both
SIDES bit the dust, many We're wounded, and the
affair promised to result, like the encounter be-
tween the Kilkenny cats, in both sides getting
cleaned up just at the height of the melee as
Winchesters were cracking, pistols popping,
wounded men grooming, and dirty angry men
each other, detachment Of Mexican cavalry
take IN the situation the combatants ceased fight
Ing. Almost by impulse couple OF men from both
factions retreated with the stolen horses and the
main body OF both proceeded to pump lead into
the cavalrymen. The latter returned the fire, but
the deSperadOeS We're more than three to one and
AFTER leaving three dead and two wounded COM
radeS, the commanding officer among the latter
the cavalry detachment skipped, rather than re-
treated, to CamargO. This Is not all. When the
cayaEymen were well out OF the way the desper-
ADDE'S resumed the fight and kept it up until many
On both sides were killed and the ammunition al
most exhausted. 1t Will, perhaps, crafty Ameri-
can national pride to learn that the American rob-
berS succeeded In bringing the horses to this side
OF the river and holding ON to them.
