4 Common Disease.

Laryngitis is much more common in
adult males than in females, as would be
expected from the fact that men are more
exposed to changes of temperature than
are women. The attack is sudden, and the
disease rapid in its course. The person on
swallowing feels pain in the region of the
larynX. The breathing has long drawn
kissing sound. The voice is husky and
croaking There is a "croupy" cough.
If the Inflammation is confined to the
larynx the expectoration is clear and thin;
if it extends to the windpipe aud the bron,
chial tubes, as it often does, the expectora-
ton is thick and is coughed up. The pulse
is rapid, but the tongue is moist and the
fever slight If the disease progresses
breathing, speaking and swallowing be,
come exceedingly dificult.-Youth's Com,

PROMPT Pay

The boy, just making start in lite,
who goes to the Successful Business
Man for. wise counsel is always advised
above all things, to be prompt. This
point is generally emphasized more
than any other.
But does the Successful Business
Man take his own medicine? Has he
ever reflected how promptness applies
to his own business and how much it
would be worth to him in cold cash?
Or course, it's "what 1 say, not
what do " But suppose for mo-
ment we bring the matter right home
to the Successful Business Man,
The cashier of large advertising
agency once said: "We would be will
ing to give q great deal if we could
pay our bills as promptly as Messrs.
So-and-so''-namipga rival concern.
"But we are not able to do so, and
we do not see now Messrs. So-and-so
manage it. They are certainly the
promptest house in the country"
That reputation for promptness is
worth much to the firm in question.
/ asked their cashier how he did
manage it. "Well,n he said, i've
make promptness part of our system,
and then see that it is faithfully
followed out. That's all. It's like a
man who can run hundred yards
in shorter time toan any one else.
Promptness is worth money in any
business, but the peculiar character
Of the advertising business makes IL
specially valuable. The seed advertis-
or, for example, who sends q green
back with his order is playing upon
this feeling.
A large city clothing house sends
to small suburban papers 5 n electro
yped advertisement accom- Ned
by check for SOS. Without the check
perhaps the order would not be ac-
cepted. But it reaches the publisher
on salary day; or time when he Is
in urgent need of money. He cashes
the check and settles with the adver-
tiser later on his own terms.
The principle of prompt pay when
the work is done is the same. The
publisher can count definitely upon
so much money at a certain date
Cash is worth good premium to him
and he is willing to pay it.
Promptness is not sentiment; it is
business. J. L. r.

Mans Tendency Upward.

Nothing is more evident from history
than the fact that weaker bodies of men
driven out by stronger do not necessarily
relapse into barbarisnl, but frequently rise
even under the most unfavorable circum-
stances to "a civilization equal or superior
TO that from which they have been ban
ished. Out of very many examples show
ing this law of upward development few
may be taken as typical.
The Slavs, who sank so low under the
pressure of stronger races that they ap-
parently gave the modern world new
word TO express the most hopeless servi-
tude, have developed powerful civilizations
peculiar to themselves. The barbarian
tribes who, ages ago took refuge amid the
sandbanks and mOrasses of Holland, have
developed one of theLworld's leading CEN
tiers of civilization The wretched peas
ants who, about the Fifth century took
refuge from invading hordes among the
lagoons and mud banks of Venetia, devel-
oped a power in art, arms and politics
which is among the wonders of human
history.
The Puritans, driven from the civiliza-
ton of Great Britain to the unfavorable
climate, soil and circumstances of early
New E-uElauu' llit IluSucHOtS, uElNcu lTOiu
France, a country admirably fitted for the
highest growth of civilization, to various
countries far less fitted for sNch growth;
the Irish peasantry, driven in vast num-
bers from their own island to other parts
of the world, on the whole less fitted to
them-all are proofs that, as a rule, bodies
of men once enlightened, when driven to
unfavorable climates and brought under
the most depressing circumstances, not
only retain what enlightenment they have,
but go on increasing it.-Andrew ID. White

Crossing broadway.

1t is a curious sight to stand at one OF
the Broadway crossings and watch the wo
men get over, past the carts, cabs, wagons
horse cars and carriages. Not more than
50 per cent. of the number dare to attempt
it alone, preferring to wait for the escort
of the gallant policeman or protecting
male who may be going that way. But
now and then we see a woman who "dares
and does" Grasping her skirts in some
mysterious region she lifts them until she
feels tolerably confident that they are dis
playing enough, and none too much, an
kle, then she poises herself on the edge Of
the curb, and glancing quickly up anc
down darts out into what seems to be a re
gion of perpetual motion. More than once
her progress is interrupted midway, but
she calmly pauses and, holding her breath
her temper and her petticoats, waits unit
the coast is temporarily clear.-New Yorf

Railway whistles.

An eminent Glasgow aural surgeon, Dr.
Thomas Barr, has communicated to the
British Medical association some valuable
data concerning the injurious effects OF
railway whistles upon the hearing. In
railway whistles the arrangement for regu.
lating the pressure of steam passing
through from the boiler to the whistle is
not sufficiently delicate. If the boiler
should be under high pressure the whistle
is very much louder and shriller than when
it is under low pressure, so that when q
passenger train is leaving a station for a
long run, and having therefore its boiler
under high pressure, the whistle is unnec
essarily loud and shrill just when those
qualities are least required.
DR.. Barr urges upon the attention of the
association the adoption of lower pitched
whistles, with proper regulators, so as to
lessen the present Earring of sensitive ears
and nerves, The question Of whether d
whistle of lower pitch than that usually
employed would be as efficient as an acous
tic signal is said to have been solved by the
introduction on a Scotch railway of new
form of whistle, very much resembling an
organ pipe.
The steam is forced on the lower edge OF
a brass tube closed at the upper end, and
the sOnorous impulses are taken up by the
current of air in the tube and immensely
REINFORCED, the pitch depending upon the
length of the tube, as well as upon the force
of the blast. The sound resembles very
much a steamboat whistle, being loud and
much lower in pitch, and therefore less
painful to the ear than the ordinary rail
way whistle.-New Orleans Picayune

THE FEAST OF HEROD.
One of Rubens. Masterpieces Admired by
Many Pittsburgers-A Beautiful speci-
men of the Great Artists Best Worb-A
Treat tn Have Seen IT.

One OF Rubens- masterpieces Admired by
Many Pittsburgers-A Beautiful Speci-
men of the Great Artists Best Work-A
Treat to Have Seen 1t.
There will leave the city this evening to
delight the lovers of art in New York, the
finest genuine Rubens painting that Pitts
burgers ever had an opportunity to ex-
anime and admire at home.
1t is the property of Hermann Liude, and
is one Of a costly collection owned by that
gentleman. He has shown it to many con-
noissurs in this city, at his room at the Hotel
Schlosser, during the past two weeks. After
to-day, though, it is not to be seen here.
The work in question is called '"The Feast
of Herod." 1t was painted by Peter Paul
Rubens in the artists best moods in his lat
ter days, from 1888 to 1910, when, as vic
tim of gout, he was obliged to confne his
work to smaller canvases than previously.
II is about 21S by 8 feet in size, and contains
% figures. AS an example of the famous
painters wonderful manner of blending the
Flemish and italian schools, it has prob
ably no superior.
One of the peculiarities of the painting is
the fact that each character represented at
the feast is a portrait. Rubens himself
posed as Herod; his first wife, Isabella
Brunt, represents Salome, and Helene Four
ment, his second wife, sits beside Herod.
The guests at the table represent the most
celebrated italian painters cotemporary
with Rubens, most conspicuous of whom
are Titiens, Tintoretto, Paul Veronese and
Raphael.
Only one could have employed the rich
coloring of the picture--and that one,
Rubens. Such Transparency, such bril-
liancy, and vet such fidelity TO nature and
durability-as if he did his work Tor hun
dreds of generations-cannot be mistaken.
One needs not the authority of the French
governmental work on the life OF Rubens to
be told it is surely the work of that great
master of flesh tints.
Mr.. Linde is greatly to be congratulated
upon the possession of such a valuable work
of art, and SO. indeed, are all who have an
opportunity to see and admire it. Local
artists consider it great pity that the paint
ing cannot be kept in Pittsburg, where it
would form grand nucleus for public
collection.
