informs the United Press that ia
grippe" the well-known disease in
Russia, originates among the lower
classes from the lack of cleanliness,
and is Infectious to a great de-
gree and partakes of the nature of
! catarrh. A simple remedy for it,
which cures at once if taken during the
first stages, is as follows: Half a glass
OF boiled milk mixed with the same
quantity of genuine imported German
SeltZer Mr.. Ebell says this remedy is
used with such success in Russia that
the government officially promulgated
it throughout the empire.

A MOSQUITO IN HER EAR.
For Fifteen Years 1t Had Deffed
and Mystified the Doctors,

An Evansville, Ind, special to the
Globe-Democrat: For the last fifteen
years Mrs. Charles Y. Worthington has
been partially deaf, and suffered great
deal from alteration in her left ear.
During the time of the trouble she has
placed herself under the treatment of
number of physicians, and although
they did much to alleviate the pain,
their efforts were not productive
of satisfactory results. Last week
she placed herself under the care of
DR.. L. S. Compton, who makes a spe-
cialty OF ear and throat diseases, and
yesterday the secret of the trouble was
discovered. The cause of the impaired
hearing was large mosquito, which
must have been in the ear for nearly
fifteen years. The insect had lodged in
the membrane of the drum of the ear,
causing an liberation which has never
healed up entirely within that time.
When the physician removed the cause
of the trouble the patient experienced
almost immediate relief, and ordinary
sounds which heretofore she was un-
able to hear at ali were distinctly audi

BATHING THE BABY.
Diplomatic Little Remarks Likely
to Keep 1t in Amiable Mood.

10 heep III In anna Ole MOOD.
Detroit News
Mothers, or those having little chill
dren in their care, should be very care
full in regard to bathing them during
the winter weather. Have the room
warm and the clothes which are to be
worn after the bath well aired and
warmed. 1t is good plan to have them
hanging over chair back close to the
fire while the child is being washed.
Unless the child is very robust, it is
best not to put IFS entire body into the
water at once. Uncover the upper part
to the waist, pinning a wooden shawl or
blanket about the loins and legs.
Then with soft wash cloth
or sponge wash quickly, Rms
ing with clear, warm water.
Rub with a rough towel till the
skin Is aglow. Then put on the warm
little undershirt, and throw some light
extra wrap across the back in order to
protect the spine. Then loosen the
blanket or shawl from the waist and
wash the lower half of the body in the
same manner.
In this way the child will not be likely
to become chilled or take cold. and
neither will he be apt to dread his bath.
Talk to the little one during the opera
ton. When you have washed one hand
or foot place it beside the Olher and call
attention to the fact that ore looks nice
and clean while the other does not. Or
say, in cheerful tone, looking at the
clock: Its just quarter to 1O'' COR
whatever it may be-. LET me see how
many minutes it will take to make my
boy new and clean" In this wav the
child will help with the bath by being a
willing subject.

New York's Death List Runs
Up to 1902 for the Week

Very Much Increased Death

The Disease Is Now Spreading

New York, Jan. 4.-Dr. Paul Hoff-
man, assistant superintendent of
schools, was taken to Bellevue hospital
early this morning a raving maniac
from the effects of an attack of grippe.
which he has been suffering from the
past three days. He occupied room
at the Alpine flats. at the corner of
Broadway and Thirty-third street. At
5 o'clock this morning the other ten
ants i'll the house were awakened from
their slumbers by the sound of
pistol firing in the hail. One of them
went ont and found Dr.. Hoffman, par
TALLY dressed, standing near the door
of his room with pistol in his hand.
about to fire again. When spoken TO,
however, the doctor became quiet and
went back into his room again, saying
that he was only firing for fun. As it
appears, however, the doctor did not re-
main long in his apartment. for, few
minutes afterwards, Officer Stewart, of
the Nineteenth precinct, found him
the street. tlOurishing his revolver about
recklessly. The officer arrested him,
and at $3.50 o'clock he was locked up in
the 1hirtieth street station on the
charge of carrying pistol without
permit. DIR. Hoffman was quiet enough
when put into the cell, but soon after
ward his violence returned and he made
the station house ring with his cries.
An ambulance was sent for from Belle
vue hospital. and at 1850 o'clock the
unfortunate man was taken to the
hospital raving maniac. DR.. Hoffman
was first attacked with influenza four
days ago. During his sickness DR..
Hoffman had not been able to sleep.
and Mr.. Lawrence said to-day he
thought the doctor must have taken
something to induce sleep which had
the effect of unsettling his mind. Seven
cases of sudden death were reported at
the coroner's office to-day. For the
tWenty-four hours, ending at noon to-
day. 234 deaths were reported, making
the total for the week 1902, an I'M
precedented number for this season of
the year. The number of deaths
reported the previous week was 762.
The share the prevailing epidemic has
in the increased mortality is shown in
the large number of victims to diseases
OF the organs of respiration. Three
hundred and sixty-two policemen are
reported on the sick list to-day. Ten
have died from pneumonia during the
week. Frederick Hall, brother of
Pauline Hall, and member of 1.-The

There are 600 cases in Auburn prison

WHAT is A KISS?
A Strange Thrilling Mystery That
Young Men and Maidens May
Study With Delight.

a Strange Thrilling Mystery That
Young Men and Maidens May
Study With Delight.
Frank Leslie i'll the Hoosier.
All. who can tell? Surely if anything
in the world ''goes without saying" it is
a kiss, land the more one says the farther
one seems removed from the true COM
prehension of the idea.
Viewed in the calm light of reason, q
KISS is rather an absurd, rather disa-
greeable, certainly very extraordinary
proceeding. Two people set theiI
mouths against each other. contract and
press the lips together, and emit sound
varying from the explosion of toy
pistol to faint sibilation or a gentle
conclusion.
Why. now, should any one have hit
upon this strange performance as an
expression of affection? Was it an in
born instinct of humanity, like eating
or looking at ones reflection in "mlr-
rored pools?" Did Adam kiss Eve, and
did she understand what he was at
tempting, or did she fancy he was
about 10 eat her?
A very strange, decidedly uncouth
proceeding, and yet how very natural
and how very comment
What divers manners of kiss have
been invented since that Adam and Eve
Inauguration. Theirs would be the kiss
OF tender and assured cOnjugal devotion
well. that is very nice and satisfying to
the feeling, but then there is the tImid
experimental kiss of the newly-declared
lover and the faint responsive kiss OF
the gentle beloved. and there is the mad
burning kiss of passion, and the culver
ing kiss OF separation, when loving
hearts are rent asunder. and there is the
cold kiss of despair, pressed by blood,
less lips upon an icy broW-the kiss OF
death that all of us have at some time
felt through our hearts core.
Then there is the tender and emotion.
less kiss of friendship and loving kin
ship, and the light touch of ceremony,
as in French fashion, we family brush
the cheeks of our dear 500 acquain-
tances, and there is the enforced kiss OF
relationship that is not loving, or OF
husband and wife, who still keep up the
form from which the life had fled; and
there is the kiss of loving reverence for
the hand of the monarch, or the
priest. or the holy relic or tomb,
and there are grades and shades of
all these almost innumerable, and yet,
after all, there is but one kiss worth
the talking about, and that is the kiss
of love, pure and simple and mutual
the kiss which clings and trembles and
throbs with delight, and yet is too near
heaven to know the stain of earth; the
kiss in which the soul swoons and yet
resembles God; the kiss that one would
die in giving, and can give to only one
the kiss that once freely given binds
two souls forever in One-no matter
what chances and changes time may
bring.
The Undesirable and yet the univer-
sal delight of love is as sweet to-day as
it ever was in Eden.
