A Novel Trentm tent of Diph.herla.

The Provincial Medical Journal tells
of a treatment for diphtheria based
upon an energetic use of ice, which is
perseveringly applied both externally
and internally, Ice bags are to be kept
on the neck, care being particularly
taken that the swollen glands are di.
rectly in contact with the ice, which is
to be constantly renewed. Simultane-
ously the patients drink iced water by
means of a bent glass tube, and pieces
of ice are kept in the mouth OF course
wine or sirup or any tiavoring agent
may be added to the water.
Chlorate OF potassium is also given
internally ia small doses The author
of the system believes that the use of
baths and antipyretics is useless, but
the adoption of a strengthening diet, in
cluding wine, is matter of course.
Experience with this method exclusively
during sixteen years has convinced DIR.
Mayer of its value. None of his
patients died, and only rarely was the
larynx involved.

Prince Bismarck's Wooing.

Prince Bismarck began his wooing
in q rather stern manner. AS he al
WAYS favored energetic measures. he
wrote direct to the youug lady's par
ents. with whom he was not acauaint-
ed, and demanded their daughter in
marriage. They were simple folk
leading a very quiet life, and they
were rather frightened at the reputa-
ton for high living which tine candi-
date enjoyed. Their daughter. how
ever, intimated in discreet terms that
she did not look upon the young gen.
tleman with an unfavorable eye. as
there was no doubt the young mans
parents had good reputation.
Consequently the young lady's par
ents invited Bismarck to come and see
them. Every one did their best to
give the visitor suitable reception.
Fraulein Won Puttkammer's parents
put on an air of grave solemnity, aud
the young lady stood with her eyes
modestly bent upon the ground. when
Bismarck on aligbting threw his arms
around bis sweethcart's neck and eu,-
braced her vigorously before ary one
Lad time to tell him that his conduct
was hardly proper sad correct. The
result was, however. ar i,nmeGiate be-
trothal. Prince Bismarck IL very fond
Of telling this tale. and he is eareial

bection:

DEADwooD, S. D., Jan. 20.-What
promised to develop into a riot has been
prevented by tie action Of the railroad
company in granting passes to the rail
road graders who were discharged from
the company Saturday. On that day
the discharged graders assembled at
the depot and demanded transportation
home, which was refused them. An ef-
fort was made to take possession of the
train, which was unsuccessful, owing to
the fact that the train was guarded by
special policemen, and also from the
fact that the graders were not well
enough organized Yesterday a COM
mittee of the graders awaited on Act
ing Mayor Treber, and as result of
that conference he telegraphed Manager
Burt that unless transportation was fur
nished there would be trouble, and to-
day one carload was furnished passes,
while another carload will follow to-
morrow.

NERMLMoN, S. d., Jan. 20. In a SER
mon here Sunday by Rev. w. A. Ly-
man, of tho Congregational church of
this place on the subject of home mis-.
sionary work, many things were
brought forth illustrating this work
among the Indians and showing the
benefits tohrefrom in the late troubles.
Whatever an Indian does he does with
all his might, and Christianity does not
change thut spirit as was shown by
some rcborts read. Many of the Indian
police are Christians which seems to ac-
count very much for their fidelity. The
five police who were killed in the skir-
mish that took place at Sitting Bulls
arrest were all church members, four of
them Catholics, and the other, Little
Eagle, was a deacon in the Congrega-
tional church at Fort Yates, so says
report from Rev. Reed, the Congrega-
tional missionary Of that place. Many
extracts were read frHn religious pa
pCrs and illusions made to show the
benefits Of Chris tian education upon
them.

only one name has been mentioned, and
the relatives of this young lady enter

identity was penetrated by the police,
is the wife of prominent and OK.

st. Charles hotel.
lie knew nothing of his wife's inten-
other side OF the ring at the time of the
escapade. The natty suit Of clothes
that fitted her exquisitely formed figure
like q glove is said to have been the
property of Tommy Warren, the noted
| lightweight, and her chestnut tresses
were deftly coiled on the top of her
head and there reposed in the recesses
of jaunty silk tile
Had it not been for few stray hairs
that had unloosened themselves and
fallen down behind her ear, the disguise
would have been perfect and the police

out late at night by Parson Davies. oi
Chicago, and there was an interesting
| finale on the following morning when,
accompanied by her husband, she drove
to the municipal court in close car
| riage.
The Justice on being apprised of her
presence, left the court room, descended
the steps TO the sidewalk, poked his
head through the carriage window,
heard the fair defendant sweetly mur'
mur plea Of guilty to the charge Of
violating the city ordinances by mas
querading, imposed the usual fine, with

tuted his hand, received the cash, re-
entered the court room while the car
riage drove back to the hotel.
The lady most directly interested In
| the affair does not propose to let hei
experiences deter her from ondeavorine
to witness some future mill, but acting
on the advice which is often rendered
by slang youths to young damsels, she
will first "get her hair cut"
