Danger In Licking Envelopes.

The public is frequently warned by
the medical profession OF the danger
which turks in the practise OF damp-
ing the gum on envelopes with the
tongue, and notwithstanding the
many cases of virulent aud serious
diseases especially Of the syphil'tc
type which have been trac. d to such
al origin, the practise is still almost
universal Among attempts which have
been made to provide means Of es.
Gaping the necessity Of licking the
envelopes is an automatic lock cnvel-
one. which has just been patented On
the flap Of the envelope are two pros
jec,ing Ranges aud all that is neces-
sary TO close the envelope is to fold
these aanges by clearly denoted lines
and insert the Zap thus narrowed in a
slot, whereupon the folded Aanges
automatically lock themselves, aud
the envelope cannot be opened with
out being torn. The operation
sounds much more complicated than
it really is, for one of the new en-

Mrs. Stanley.

Mrs. Stanley is unlike any one know;
she is quite herself. In the first place,
she is tall, much taller than American
women grow as a rule, but she carries
her inches well, and you would not sus-
pect her height unless you stood by her.
Her features are regular and are more
striking in profile than in full face, and
she has a quantity of dry brown hair
that seems to be flying loosely about her
head, though it is held well together
with unseen pins. Her house gowns are
what we call aesthetic" for want of a
better word. They, at least those that
saw, are made of soft clinging stuffs,
and the collar, that lies fat about her
neck, is made of the same material.
She is bright conversationist with
out trying to be, and very enthusiastic
ad1nirer of Mr. Stanley. Nothing ap-
parently makes her happier than to be
doing something for him. She told me
with great glee the other day that he
found that she could answer some of his
letters as well as he could himself.
About her own work she is very modest,
and yet there is no artist in all England
who better depicts the life of children
than she does.-New York Letter.

The shipment of peaches from the
lake shore fruit belt commenced about
a week ago. They are of good size and
excellent flavor. We are sorry to learn,
however, that there are growers so ut
terly destitute of principle as to at
tempt to put upon the market peaches
affected with yellows, thus menacing
the health, if not the lives, of the con-
sumers. The yellows commissioners for
South Haven IA few days ago discovered
such affected fruit in consignment
from that place and very promptly and
properly threw them into the river. We
are not informed whether or not the
consignor was proceeded against, but
he certainly should have been. The law
on the subject is explicit, and recites
that cit shall be unlawful for any per-
son to keep any peach, almond, apricot,
plum, prune, cherry OF nectarine tree,
infected with the contagious disease
known as yellows, or black knot, or to
offer for sale or shipment, or to sell or
ship to others" etc. The penalty is II
fine not exceeding one hundred dol
lars, or by imprisonment in the county
jail not exceeding three months, or
both, in the discretion of the court"

At Old Trinity.

Trinity college is the largest, and has
between 700 and 800 students. l must
write word about the wife of the mas
ter of Trinity-Mrs. Butler, formerly
Miss Ramsey. You remember perhaps
that three years ago there was 30 much
excitement because she was senior cfas-
sic. The queen sent for her, and she
was feted everywhere. She was the
daughter Of Sir George Ramsey, of Scot
land, fine classical scholar, and soon
afterward married DR.. Butler. But you
can hardly know what this means till
you know the position Of the master of
Trinity. He is a king in Cambridge.
He represents the hospitality of the whole
university and has a salary common
surate to his duties. The queen has a
suite of apartments at Trinity. The
Prince of Wales, the prime minister. for
eign embassadors-all are received by
the master and his wife.
You ask me about the college for wom-
en-. 1t started in this way: About 1870
Miss Emily Davis, daughter of Welsh
clergyman, took a house at DOCKING,
forty miles from Cambridge, and mat
ronized few young ladies. She asked
the university to send up teachers for in
struction. They did so. She started
without funds, but today magnificent
building, with imposing architecture,
called "Girton college," situated at Cir
ton, half mile from Cambridge, proves
the success of her movement.
Her motto is: mo double code. Same
requirements for women as men, same
studies, same degrees. London Letter.

Diphtheria and Tonstlitis.

Diphtheria is a constitutional disease;
it is in the blood, but it many times man.
ifests itself locally in the throat. It
often causes white spots to appear on the
tonsils and even on other parts Of the
throat. But these white spots are far
different in appearance from those seen
in tonsilitfs. A great number of per-
sons are frightened as soon as they see
white spots on the tonsils; but If there Is
no epidemic Of diphtheria in the neigh
borhood do not, as a general thing, fear
cases out of ten it is tonsilitis.
A dangerous symptom in this case,
hAyever, is bad sore throat without fe-
v,'r &C the outset. have seen the most
.asal cases of diphtheria start in this way,
and dread such cases most Of all. A
troublesome sore throat before the fever
comes on is suspicious, and needs physi-
clan promptly. A fever, accompanied
generally with coryza, but not always,
followed by sore throat, is probably ton
silitis, and can be treated at home gen.
orally. We may get white spots in both
cases. The white spots differ widely in
the two diseases. In tonsilitis the white
spots are merely dead cells that are
broken down, disintegrated and are
forced to the surface. They can be
brushed away, but they are a trifiing
thing as compared with the spots in diph-
iberia
Without going deeply into the subject
Of diphtheria at this time, | shall simply
bay that the spots in this disease are the
appearance at the surface of the tonsils of
tenacious membrane. This membrane
dips down into the surface of the tonsils,
and if removed leaves bleeding, ugly
track behind it, which is later filled with
another membrane just as tenacious.-A
Physician in Boston Globe.
