Origin OF DiphtIleria.

Diphtheria is believed to have orig
mated in Egypt, more than 1900 years
ago. 1t prevailed in Egypt and Asia
Minor, to which it extended, during the
first 500 years, and hence was early
called Egyptian or Syriac disease. Hav-
ing invaded Europe, the disease APP
peared at Rome, A. d. $50; and being
akin to the plague, of which it may be
remote modification, having had the
same origin, with some similar char
acteristics, and being like it and malig-
nant typhus highly contagious. the dis
ease, in its 1900 years transit on the
continent Of Europe, affected mainly
rural districts and garrisoned towns. It
had extended to Holland, in which it
was epidemic, in 1897 /; to Paris, in 1876;
and appeared in America in It'll; hav-
ing prevailed more extensively in
France in 1878 and 1886, and in En-
gland and the United States from 1856
to 1860, and more or less SINCE. In both
city and country, more cases have oc-
Cured, other things being equal, in
warm autumnal and winter weather in
damp localities, where the air is almost
destitute Of ozone, a powerful disinfect-
ant, and being saturated with moisture
is in low or negative electrical state,
thus letting down the positive cleo
trical conditions OF the nervous system,
and correspondingly diminishing vital
ity, in those predisposed to the disease.
Damp air also, doubtless, by diminish
ing the cutaneous exhalation, and 9TH
erwise, may increase the predisposition
to this as well as other kindred diseases,

Instead of rolling hoops or catching
jacks, the young misses of the Five Points,
when not assisting their friends to dis
pose Of secondhand clothing, play base
ball. There are several girl mines" in the
neighborhood who play in the street
their matches are conducted in accordance
with professional regulations, even down
to the wearing Of catchers' masks and um-
pires-who live the lives of prize fighters
during the games. just now the Cohen
and Isaac mines are engaged in mighty
struggle for the pennant. The Cohens are
captained by Miss Rebecca Cohen. and the
other eight players are hands on pants in
her fathers shop. Miss Rachel Isaacs, o
pretty brunette of 16 Baxter street sum-
mers, managers her team with great skill
The members are all under Is and wear
BACK stockings and Mother Hubbards.
The short stop of the team, Miss Isabella
Dinkelspiel, H. year-old, has big rec
ord for picking the ball up in her apron.
Home runs are scarce, as the grounds are
only twenty five feet wide, and the Levys,
on the north, have hung ret across the
street to prevent the ball from being
knocked past their door. Among the in
terested spectators Of the game are Tom
Chin and Wah Lee, besides the elite of
poverty generally in Mott and Park streets.

His Friend Was ! Dummy.

There is sometimes q sort of pic
turesqueness about the peculiar de-
1usi0ns Of an inebriate, and this quality
reaches beyond the mere disgusting and
borders upon the realms Of the pathet-
ically grotesque, and while we cannot
but regret the weakness Of the indi-
yidual We are forced to smile at his
iliosyncrasies. One Of these peculiar
cases occurred the other evening at one
Of the prominent hotels in the city. The
hour was late and the majority of the
sedate and well-regulated guests had
retired. Suddenly the front doors were
thrown open with bang, and through
the aperture emerged . young gentle
man who but few hours ago had de-
parted in al the glory Of spruce clothes
and fine linen. Now his hat was on the
back Of his head, his clothing was dis
ordered, aud there was drunken leer
upon his handsome face. As he stag
gered toward the desk il was noticed
that he was dragging behind him one
Of those dressed models which the
clothiers Of the present day exhibit in

ing the clerk with IN unsteady gait,

They All Wear Tights.

These are the very latest said de-
mure little girl In a Fourteenth street dry
goods story yesterday.
The three would-be purchasers raised
their hands in establishment.
Yes, madam, continued the girl, "they
are becoming very popular; you would be
surprised to learn what a number of nom
professional women are wearing tights just
now"
But my husband is a respectable hnsi-
ness man. What would he say to them2"
Il really don't know, madam; but you1l
find silk tights the incest thing to wear this
winter"
The lady bought pair "just to try"
and one of her companions did likewise.
When the customers had taken their de-
partme reporter accosted the shop girl
Il o any so-called fashionable women
really wear tights?" he asked, with an un-
businesslike blush, which the girl recipro-
Gated.
Indeed they do. Lots of women like
them, because they think it is little bit
racy to wear them. Others are going into
the new, hustle bereft style of clothing at
full tilt, wear tights SO that they can show
of their shape more completely than in the
old style of underwear.
"You don't say SOL" gasped the astounded
reporter.
Don't I, though? Why, have pair
on myself this moment"

How to Help Your Digestion.

CARROTS Palace.

The Garrett residence is wonder of
architectural and decorative art; and its
formal opening by grand ball early in
more season. The ground plan is 6Oxl00
feet; there are three stories and base
ment, with solid front of brown stone.
The general style is of the French renais-
sance, but the designer allowed himself
much latitude. The main hall is that of
an old English manor, and all the wood
work is of English black oak, elabor;.tely
carved, with panel decorations, choice
paintings and steel suits of mail. There
is also u library finished in mahogany, a
dining room in the Dutch style Of the six
teenth century, parlor upholstered in
Gobelin tapestry. with deep friezes of al
legorical paintings, a wonderful balcony,
and conservatory. forty by sixty feet in
size, which is perfect paradise of ferns
and exotic flowers, with bubbling foun-
tains and waterfalls, over all of which il q
light soft as that of full moon. Alto
gether, it is neighborhood Of which the
possible colored orphan neighbors would
have no cause to feel ashamed. The real
wonder Of the place, however, is the bath
room, modelled after that of the luxurious
Louis XIV. Of France. The ceiling is in
imitation of lattice work, with vines and
flowers; the immense laver (vulgato voce
tub" is Of silver and Tennessee marble;
the water comes in through brass pipes
and gold-plated figures, and all the adorn-
ments are Of Sybaritic elegance.

Young men are able to find girls who are

They are able to find girls because the

evidence Of their having been legally mar

after the ceremony the rebels rnided the
town and pillaeed DR.. Saunders house
among others. Among the things carried
Oh was the doctors marriage license.
Among the things destroyed in York BY
the rebels were the records of the church
In which the doctor was married to Miss

legally married was gone. DR.. and Mrs.
Saunders suddenly came to the conclusion
that for the sake Of their children and es-

garding their property they had better have
a perfect record Of their marriage. They
came to the city and got license to marry
and were again joined in holy bonds OF

How storms Are Made.

Our earth only receives small frac-
tional part Of the suns heat; but, what
ever that may be in the year, more or
less than the average, the entire surface
Of our earth must feel and he subject
to the effects. And one thing is GER
tain-namely, that year or series OF
years, of excessive sun-heat will newt
ably be years and seasons Of excessive
atmospheric disturbances, because in
crease Of heat will produce excess of
evaporation, excess Of electric action,
and, necessarily, excessive precipitation;
and, during prevalence Of this excess
sun-heat, there must be over limited
areas violent storms both summer and
winter.
When very large areas of the atmos-
phere have been, by excess Of heat,
brought into an unequal state, as large
areas of lower stratum Of highly heated
air and vapor, which is also intensely
electric, the conditions to produce sand
spouts, waterspouts, and tornadoes, are
fully ripe. The upper and colder layer
Of the atmosphere cannot cool the lower
highly-heated and vapor-ladened stra-
tum SO evenly and quickly as to pre-
vent vents in the form of tunnels form
ing from the lower stratum to the
higher stratum, and causing rupture
which takes place upward in pipe
form, just as water in tank or basin,
having bottom means for discharge by
pipe, flows out with whirling motion
in our northern hemisphere always in
the direction of the hands Of clock
and SO the heated, highly electric, and
excessively vapor-laden atmosphere
breaks into the cold atmosphere above
when at the level of the .dew point"
invisible vapor becomes visible, parting
with its latent heat, which so rarities
the air as to force some Of the condensed
atmosphere in visible cloud, mounting
thousands Of feet above the condensed
dew point and into a region above the
highest peaks of the highest mountains.
To feed this pipe, o., rs in some cases,
pipes, the lower stratum flows in from
all sides to rotate and ascend with the
velocity Of steam power, sufficient to
produce all the disastrous effects Of the
widest tornado, there being almost a
vacuum at the ground or water line, as
the phenomenon may be on the land or
over the sea. On the land trees are
twisted and uprooted, houses are nm
rooted, solids of various kinds are lifted
from the earth and human beings have
been blown away like dead leaves.
