ninhtherIa Scare.

There is no doubt but that diphtheria in its
worst form is very prevalent in many cities and
small towns. At the same time, that fact is no
reason orfrightening people out of their wits with
every new case of sore throat. Even liberated
sore throat is bad enough and no person would
have that for fun. Yet hundreds of persons are
said to have had diphtheria who only had a severe
sore throat. The form of throat which
often passes for diphtheretc is what old people
call quinsy. "Putrid sore throat" known long
before diphtheria, was probably form of diph-
liberia, and very dangerous. An old hospital
nurse In Boston, says: 1T amt the cold of win
ter that lays people up with colds, catarrh and
sore throat and lays the children low with dph-
iberia; it's the soft, pleasant alternating with
the wet, slushy days" This is very true, and ex-
plains why these troubles are so prevalent this
unusually soft rainy winter; the air, in fact is
laden with poisonous vapors. The first symp-
toms of true diphtheria are much like those of
heavy cold on the lungs. There is fever, some
stupor and difficulty in breathing. Very sharp
pains are often felt in the neck glands, just below
the ear The tongue is coated, the throat and
tonss infiamed little white spots, which increase
and turn to a dirty yellow or brown color, next
appear, and peculiar odor totally unlike ulcer
ated sore throat IS noticeable. If the disease Is
of the black or malignant type nothing but
miracle can restore the patients to their former
good health. Very many reliable people claim to
have cured severe cases Of diphtheria with john
sons Anodyne Liniment. Be that as 1t may, i is
worth trying, because so easily used internally,
dropped on sugar and as gargle, and bathing for
external use. We know from experience thatit
will cure a common sore throat in one night and
thousands of people claim that no remedy known
lllreleye colds cstarrh, bronchitis, Group, ETC.,
as promptly as the good old Johnson's linlment.

TWO AND ONE.
Thou hast two ears and but one mouth;
Remember it, pray;
ror mucn there is which thou must hear,
And little say.
Thou hast two eyes, and but one mouth;
Ponder the reason well;
For many things thou art to see,
And few things tell.
Ihou hast two hands, and but one mouth;
Nature has rightly done,
For she has given two for work.
For eating one.

stOckY
81 really sdon't know the lady an
swered. Il never heard of any such things
By the way said she, a few minutes later,
i saw in an old envelope found among his
papers not long ago, something which had
the words Texas indemnity on it but l
thought it was only an old receipt for taxes
paid on Texas land DO YOU think YOU
can find it againp said Mr.. Riggs, without
telling her anything which would create
expectations that might never be realized
%, yes she replied; 4 remember perfectly
well where l put it Have it sent to you
here was the next suggestion of the banker
Tt is as we'll to have all the papers relating
to the land together In the course of the
next fortnight the lady came into the bank
and. handing Mr.. Riggs a paper, said:
Here's the tax receipt 1 told you Of ,
Instead of being a tax receipt, however,
it was $4,000 Texas indemnity certificate
on which five years. interest was due,
and the intense qualification of the lady
may be imagined when she was told that
the old yellow bit of paper would add $12,-
800 in gold-which was then at a small
premium-to her worldly goods. 1t came
just in time, too, for she was able with the
money to save valuable estate in Arkan-
sas, which otherwise would have been sold
to foreclose a mortgage overdue. Nearly
ell of the Texas indemnity had been paid
long ago, and 1 do not think there can be
more than $25, 900 which has not besn called
for. OF course, interest has CEASED to
accrue.
'The next loan was that known in the
market as the $50, a bond that could be
paid in five years or in 20 after its maturity
as the government might choose. 1t reached
the limit two years ago, and has nearly all
