1t is said that New York scientist

covery of some means of making the
shells of eggs transparent without injury
TO their membraneous lining. His OBJ

processes by which life. Is developed from
the ovum. From utilitarian point of

Somsthing About Pneumonia So Likely

Somsthing About Pneumonia So Likely
to Assaii One at This Season.
Pneumonia usually begins with chill,
intense and prolonged, generally at night,
and followed by correspondingly high
fever, and sharp pains in the sides. The
disease is very rapid in its progress,
reaching crisis in five or six days, and
sometimes causing death within three
days. Usually, but one lung is affected,
and often the disease is confined to a
single lobe. A person may have double
pneumonia" or pneumonia of both lungs
and recover from it, but the chances are
against him. When the disease spreads
TO all of the lung lobes death is certain,
as the patient cannot breathe, and dies
Of suffocation. The diseased lung, at
first inflamed, soon becomes hard and
eathery and incapable of performing its
natural functions. A curious fact is that
usually no second chill occurs when an
other lobe is attacked. and there appears
to be no relation between the amount of
lung affected and the intensity of the
symptoms All physicians agree in say.
ing that the disease is not contagious,
but may be epidemic, and ii has been
noticed that 1t is developed under the
same conditions as diphtheria; that is,
the conditions which produce diphtheria
in the young are apt to cause pneumonia
among adults
Without speculati1g upon these differ
ent theories, from what has been said in
which all agree, it is plain that anything
which lowers the vitality of the system is
conducive to the disease and should be
carefully avoided Overwork, either
physical or mental, has much to de with
it, and this explains why so many bust
ness men and brain workers become its
victims Sudden changes Of the weather
and draughts of all kinds are also to be
guarded against. In word, live tenn
perately, dress warmly, avoiding all
manner of imprudences. and you need
have no fear of pneumonia.

How Old Man Allen Got Out OF Gum
Log.

1t was in the far West. The village

speeches were made at the Court House.
The clans were gathering early in the eve
ming, for it was to be great night
among the politicians. The Republicans,
Democrats, and Grcenbackers were hold
ing joint meeting to discuss political
issues. Gov. Woodson was running on
the Democratic ticket for reelection, and
John Stokes spoke for him. Said he
FELLOW CITIZENS: l stand here within

of Gov. Woodson
When he had finished a grandiloquent
speech with this beginning, he was fol.

humorous vein in squeaky tone of
voice:

Good Advice from a Humorist.

You take basin of water, place your
finger in it for twenty five or thirty sec
onds, take it out and look at the hole that
is left. The size of the hole represents
about the impression advice makes on a
young mans mind
Don't depend too much on your family
the dead part | mean. The world
wants live men; it has no use for dead
ones. Queen Victoria can trace her an.
cestors back in direct line to William
the Conqueror If you can not get
further back than your father, you are
better off. Your father was better man
than old William; he had better clothes
to wear, better food to eat, and was bet
ter housed.
| If you are diamond, be sure that you
will be found. Cheek, brass or gall
never gets ahead of merit.
Hove q young man who is straightfor-
ward Ask for what you want If you
want to marry rich mans daughter, or
borrow $500 from him, ask him for it; it
amounts to the same thing in the end. 1t
is always better to astonish man than to
| -
bore him.
Remember that in the morning of life
come the hard working days. Hard
work never killed a man. It's fun, rec.
reation. relaxation, holidays that kill.
The fun that results in a head the 'next
morning so big that hat could hardly
cover it is what kills Hard work never
does.
Those who come after us have to work
just as hard as we do. When | shove

THE JUDICIARY BILL.

The sentiment against the Judi
ciary Bill becomes more formlda-
BILE every day. Nine men out OF ten
oppose it.
The Walker Lake Bulletin shows
some of It's leading inconsistencies
as follows:
There seems to be many weak
points in the law Of 1885, providing
for the redistricting OF the State
and the election of three Judges.
While everybody is willing to see
reduction Of taxation, no one is will
ing to to see the affairs Of the State
fall into a middle Of litigation
through uncertainty as to the con-
stitutional Of the law. There is
time to have the matter tested be-
fore the Supreme Court in July, If
the Commissioners Of any OF the
counties will issue the election pro-:
clamation in advance Of that time,
emitting the Office of Judge from
the list. This will probably be
done. and the result will doubtless
be that the law will be declared
unconstitutional. There IS sue
cession Of Inconsistencies IN the
new law, many Of which by them
selves should inyalidate it, and care
full search is always rewarded by
finding more. 1t is question with
many whether the Legislature has
mower to throw the entire State
into one district; but, if it has,
will it then under the wording Of
the constitution have power to pro-
vide for more than one Judge?
The Constitution says:
There shall be elected at the
General election, which Immediately
nrecedes the expiration Of the term
Of his predecessor, one District
Judge in each Of the respective
judicial districts,

and if there is to be but one dis
trict, there can be but one
Judge.
The above clause may alse be in
terpreted to mean that in each OF
the old districts Judge shall be
elected. The language, considered
with the context is little vague,
but it seems that by either interpre-
tation the bill will fall because 1t IS
framed so loosely that the several
parts will not hold to gether. nor
will they standson the Constitution
as foundation. .-....
