POLITICS AT DRIVE WHIST. I"

There's one game that is watched today,
BY an eager eyed creation,
Politics is playing whist;
The score is kept by the nation,
When Uncle sam, goes round TO punch,
He stops in mutest wonder;
To see some '-Hayseed" hold the fort,
Thro' some party's blunder.
To see shrewd players driven of.
Whove worked " the game for years;
While standing solid with ''pardp
The 'Hayseed" wins the cheers.

That's termed a general mix"

INFLUENZA EPIDEMICs.
An English View of the Disease
and Its Spread.


LONDON. July 6.-The governments
report upon the recent influenza cpl
demic, the origin of that disease and
kindred matters, has been presented to
parliament. The report was prepared
by DR.. Parsons and contains mass of
interesting evidence, but. it does not
solve the problem as to the origin of in
fluenZa. nor does it provide any sure
prevention of the disease. On the other
hand. the report dispels the common
idea that influenza is spread by atmOS-
pheric conditions, and proves that it is
propagaIed by personal contact. This
is shown by the fact that isolated per-
sons. such as persons confined in prison,
lighthouse keepers and others, enjoy
immunity from the disease. while The
greatest mortality from lis effects has
been found in large communities.
In this connection, il is a curious fact
that the general pOStoffice heads the list
OF Large communities where the dis
ease has been most prevalent. The
''cOmmunitieS" represented by railroad
stations, etc, come next TO the general
pOStOffice in showing spots where the
epidemic has PLAYED havoc. The period
of incubation is short, sixteen hours to
three days being held sufficient to ac-
count for the simultaneous Incidence of
a whole community. where only one or
two people originally suffered from the
infection. Ii is expected that, in ac-
cordance with precedent, the disease
will disappear after two successive
years Of epidemy.

The Lads at Eton Please Their
Queens Grandson.
LONDON, July 6.-The emperor of
Germany arose at an early hour this
morning, and after light breakfast he
left Windsor castle on horseback, ac-
companied by the Duke OF COnnaught
and a brilliant staff. with the inten-
ton of visiting Elton, England's most
popular college school. After en-
joying a nice, bracing ride, the
emperor reached Eton's parade ground
and there found a well-equipped,
bright-l0oking body of collegians, about
$50 Ill number, drawn up in line for his
inspection. As soon as the emperor ar
rived near the head of the line the
young Elton volunteers presented arms
in a most sOldierly, precise manner.
causing the emperor to smile with ap-
prevail. AS the lads brought their
rifles to the present the Elton school
band struck up the national anthem,
and the crowds in the neighbOrhood
cheered most heartily.
The emperor was evidently much
pleased with this portion Of his days
enjoyment. When the cheering had
subsidized, he rode to the front of the
line, and bowling to the young volun-
teers, praised the manner in which they
had gone through their drill, which, he
said, was performed very cFeditably.
The emperor said: Il am very pleased
with what have seen of you. If you
are ever called upon to draw your swords
in earnest, | hope you will do so
in a good cause, and that you will
show the same pluck and spirit which
has always DISTINGUISHED British
soldiers The German imperial yacht
HOhenz0llern returned to England to-
day, bringing the children of Emperor
William. The passage was rough and
trying one, and the pilot would not
venture to take the HOhenzollern in the
dock, so the children were landed at
FeliXstowe in a small boat, amid the
cheers of crowds of visitors.
