What Lupus Is.

Lupus vulgaris, of which we are now
hearing SO much, is an extremely chronic
disease of the skin attacking persons be
tween the ages of 2and 10. 1t is character
lied by the appearance of reddish brown
nodules of granulation tissue upon the
skin, usually Of the face. The mucous
membranes are rarely affected. The nod
ues start in the corium, but penetrate the
connective tissue beneath and the papllary
layer above. The disease spreads BY the
formation of fresh nodules at the periphery
OF the original lesion. New centers form
and the old ones may gradually disappear
If the tissue breaks down an open sore is
found, covered with yellowish and brown,
ish crusts. Unlike ordinary tnbercle. the
lupus nodules are rather vascular.
Tubercle bacilli are found in the tissue,
but they are very infrequent, and often
many examinations are required to detec<
them. incubation of lupus nodules will

skin with tnbercle will not produce lupus

~ Remarkable Success Of BERTHE snA
the Secret Of Il.
When BERTHE Fitxmordaunt Townsend
brought his dull, blase manner, his En-
giish accent, his craveutan gloves, his
carefully creased, twenty-five inch trou-
sers, and his enameled leather shoes with
spotlessly white overgaiters, into the Office
OF Lewis & Haydock, 1t ID needless to say
that he created a profound sensation. The
porters always took OF their hats to him,
ana country customers misto0k him for q
special partner. However, all this gor-
geousness cost the house only the mere
triAe of s. per week.
bertie was young gentleman of wealthy
and aristocratic antecedents. He had been
rusttcated from Harvard, where he had
done his best 70 convince his father that .
son At college was nearly as expensive .
luxury ~ steam yacht. and had been
placed with us in order to give him .
chance to form some idea of the laborious.
ness of the money getting process.
Mr.. Lewis said he was cheap at any
price, for whenever he felt blue over the
drop in Astrakbans or tho slow sale a
dress goods he had only to look at Berthe,
and fierce desire TO get up aud kick him
would arise and sweep from his mind all
gloomy and depressing thoughts
by way OF start BERTHE was detailed to
look after the smaller city collections, and
We used to picture to ourselves the con-
sternation of the tradesman whose little
shop was invaded by SO overpowerine q
parsonage.
But we soon had reason to admit that be
was not SO stupid as he looked, for the
email bills were henceforth collected With
unusual ease and rapidity.
Delinquent debtors paid up long stand.
ing accounts in a manner that was truly
marvellous.
But the climax was reached when Bertie
turned in the sum of s4.75. which he said
was in settlement Of the five years old &C
count OF Mrs. Mary McGee, No 4,7G5 Third
avenue.
On this occasion Mr.. Lewis called him
into the private Office and congratulated
him on his success, remarkiny that if be
kept up this creditabie display of business
enterprise he would unq,lestionably de-
velop into future A. Il. Stewart
But the crash was to come. One day
Mrs McGee came into the store, and as
oeeessary preliminary to obtaining more
goods, offered to pay her last bill. The
bookkeeper looked the matter up and told
her it was paid in full She said it was not.
He insisted that it was, ana wordy dis
cussion ensned, which resulted in her put
ting her money in her pocket, and depart
ing with happy grin on her face
When Berthe came in from his rounds
the bookkeeper tackled him.

you paid it yoursclf:"
- Yaas: got tired Of going to see tho

An investigation proved that BERTHE had
pursued this course wherever collections
were difficult, and his brilliant financial
career came to an abrupt and untimely
close.|larry Romaine in Life.

he had one, and he was about to state it
when an accident occurred to prevent.

lived in Detroit One day he was running

ceived Il peck" which almost disabled that

to speak in public, he slips vest buckle
into his mouth. He had just done so on
this occasion when Samuel Shin gave him
kick as a hint that two big watermelons
were in the anteroom waiting for adjourn
ment. The elder was startled, and tho
buckle was sucked back into his throat, and
two members had to rush him out. When
the door had closed behind him Brother
Gardner said:
