SUBURBAN SORROW.


The man who in the quiet country suburb
loves 20 dwell
Has many pleasant rural Joys his happiness
20 swell
But there Is one prolific source ot sorrow and
of pain
It's very hard for him to catch the early
morning train
The cook arOuses hun half an hour ere it's
due.
Be notes the clock and waits to get another
wink or two.
And not 1nti it's almost time for going does
he know
The clock, as clocks most always are, Is If
teen minutes slow.
He gives his face a hurried dip. nor waits to
comb his hair;
He drinks some d-hot coffee and says
something ia despair
tie tries TO bolt a beefsteak whole and chokes
until he's blue,
He grabs an egg and dyes his beard bright
and golden hue
Just then he hears the whistle and goes ny.
ing down the street,
The neighbors' dogs are after him and chew
ing at his feet
He hasn't time to drive them of. but. as he
hurries on.
He swears he'll never rest until the last
canine is gone.
The train has started. On he flies complete
~ out OF breath;
He clutches at the car like one who grabs for
life or death;
He lands upon his knees aud wrecks his only
pair Of pants
The brakeman reaches for his hair and robs
death of has chance
The engineer then backs his train upon the
switch to wait
Full half an hour while the tired man may
mediate;
But oh, the thoughts the thinker thinks unto
himself we fear

KISSING CHILDREN.
A Practice That Is as Inconsiderate as 1t
Is Dangerous.


OF the practice of kissing children
when one has a sore throat, Dussel-
dorf physician says in German medical
journal: Speaking mildly, would call
this practice horrible, although the
term "murderous" was on my tongue.
Yes, indeed, dear madam, "murderousr
You will remember, perhaps, that four
teen days ago you, with great shawl
wrapped around your neck, made visit
to Mrs. S., and as the little Hans came
running into the room, did you not
snatch the little one in your arms and,
apparently overlooking with tenderness
for him, kiss him to your hearts con-
tent. Then you began to relate what a
horribly inflamed throat you had, SO
that the day before you had to decline
an invitation to the concert. You had
no designs on the life of that child, and
yet you killed him just as surely as
though, instead of your tender kisses,
you had given him strychnine or arsenic.
Your tenderness was fatal. Two or
three days later the boy began to com
plain of sore throat, and, when the
physician came, the one word 'diph-
iberia" made all clear. To-day little
freshly-decorated mound in the church
yard is the only reminder of your
visit. The mother has, of course,
not the slightest suspicion of you; she
ascribes her bitter loss to Providence.
The physician did nothing to disturb
this belief, for this would have been as
unwise as unkind; but / will say it that
to your folly alone, my dear madam, the
death of little Hans is due 1t is hard
to determine how great a part of the
prevalence N that horrible disease,
diphtheria, is to be attributed to such
thoughtlessness; it is well-established,
however, that adults have diphtheria in
so mild form often, that it is regarded
as only simple cold, and as cold is
not infectious, there is no idea that the
breath may harm any one. As diphthe-
ria, in the majority of cases, is commu-
nicated by direct contagion, as there is
no surer way of communicating the dis
ease than by kissing, and as kissing has
boone so much the custom on all occa-
sions, it is certainly not surprising that
this disease so easily becomes epidemic,
although in this there is no wish to say
that all cases of diphtheria originate
thus. One thing should be remembered:
1t is sometimes a greater kindness to
children to show them less tenderness
in this respect.
