A Railroad in u. Arctic clr.L.

In one respect at least the Swedish

on the shores Of the North sea- is the

the unique distinction of being the only
railroad in the world situated wholly

S DANGEROUS.
Doctors Claim That Tonsilitis Il conta-
gious Through Kissing.

Doctors Claim That TOnsilitts Il Conta-
gious Through Kissing.
Is tonsilitis contaSious2 is a question
which has been pulling many promi-
nent physicians Of late.
During the past two years a great in
crease in the number Of cases has been
noticed. until AT present it almost re-
sembles an epidemic, but hitherto has
not been considered a contagious dis
ease.
In an interview with a prominent
physician l learned that the only way
of overcoming its progress is TO protest
against kissing. These are his own
words:
ANY charming young lady posses
ing a sweet, rosebud mouth. with a
voice upon which phIegnonis has fast
ened itself. cannot he kissed without
phlegmoniS being the price paid by the
person who takes mart with her in the
dual bliss. Her Terfuned breath, with
its silvery tones and soft whispers is
filed with cor-agiOn. in which mi
crobes Of marvellous form fly 70 new
fields Of pasture. Hosts Of cunning
bot rotous blcteria liucer upon her
coral lips wait ng 10 board those Of the
mustached ne who reckleSsly ap-
proaches."
Thus it is very plain that young N
tlemen and heir sweethearts should be
very carefUl that no kissing is done be
fore it Is learned by both parties
whether rJnsilitis has settled in the
throat of either.
"Phlegmonis," said the doctor. lis a
sort Of tonsilitis. The ordinary com
monplace tonsilitis rs not contagious.
Indeed, the ordinary form is merely an
Inflammation of the tOnsis, which are
glands in the back Of the throat with
secretions aiding the process of swal-
lowing. An invasion of the glands by
hosts Of liptothrax, a bacterium. which
is normal in the mouth, are the cause
of this most troublesome Inflammation.
They are a vegetable microbe, which is
always raging in the mouth and is
nounshed by the saliva and bits Of
food that get into the holes Of deeayed
teeth. This is the reason why people
who have had bad teeth are more apt
TO be troubled with tonsilitis."
The doctor paused for a moment and
continued:
Although phLegmonis is an infam-
nation of the tOnsils it is vastly different
from the ordinary tonsiIitis, as it is con
taRious and the Inflammation extends
all through the entire mouth and ulcer
ated tonsils. Then, too, the ordinary
tonsilitis very seldom lasts longer than
a week and can be cured in about
t~wenty-four hours, while phlegInonis
lasts longer, is more were and harder
to cure.
Many great singers have been
troubled with it, among whom are
Patti, Nilsson, Lucca, Campanini and
others"
Thus it is evident, If the decision Of
prominent physicians may be believed,
that kissing is really a dangerous pleas
ure, and that those who take part in
the dual bliss should be very cautious
not 20 approach their real enemy as a
friend with open arms only 20 be de-
ceived by the friendly greeting Of its
spy who awaits them with a fascinating
smile, while behind the scenes an army
Of bacteria is impatiently waiting the
time which is sure TO come when they

The Value of Short Words.

Does the man say he can not write Il
Then he is very wrong. If he knows
how many little words there are in the
speech Of this land he would not say
that he can not find those small words.
And it may be said that these small
words have more force than the big
words, because the soul of the tongue,
or it would be more fit to say the
speech, is to be found in the short
words more than in the long. In this
all the men who write on words think
as one. They feel that the very life of
the thing is shown in the short word.
There is no long word that will take
the place OF buzz, bang. rough, smooth
keen, blunt, thin. Each of sour, roar,
splash, acid, scrape, cough. whlz,
these words is like the thing which it
sets forth, and SO it is more strong and
helps the brain in its work. If one
were to try to put long word ir the
place of the short one in this sense he
would have to write more than one
word to reach the same idea. Short
words do not drain the strength of the
mind. They leave it free to work in
other ways. The mind is not able to
cope with the thought and the mode of
speech at the same time. Hence, when
we try to use our mind On two themes
we find that it loses much OF its force.
But the chief beauty of the short word
placed side by side with the long word
Is that the short word is known by ev.
erybody that can read. The long word
is not known. Only those who study
can know the long words.
IL the man who writes does his full
duty to the people who read. he will
write for the great mass OF the people.
The man who writes a book. or who
writes for any kind OF work or any
kind Of print, should feel that he teach
es as well as writes. He should feel
that he writes to put ideas into the
minds of all. How can the mass OF the
people get these ideas in shape so that
they can feel their full sense if they
can not know them? The idea is no.
worth the thought They can not do
do 1t. Again, long words are weak.
Short words are strong. There are
some places where a long word shows
the idea more than tho short one. I
will cite to prove this any place where
one seeks to show large thought. II
that case long word is much more lit
than short word. To show by the
use OF long and short word: STU.
