The child's heart beats much moro

liable to fever and the liability Is
further increased by his weaker vital
resistance. Hence childhood is the
special season for scarlet fever

BIunders of Good Writers.

A writer recently said OF DR.. John

fast, he did once happen to be so soon

fairly rivals George Saintsbury's

surpasses, II possible, the character

observed that "the decline Of the

once warned "that he might find him

Many OF the mistakes that occur in
newspaper Offices arise from faulty
chirography.
A Brooklyn paper relates how some
manuscript Of DR.. Talmage came to
Its Office at one time In which occurred
tho words: "My text finds tho Lord. "
When the words appeared In print
they were neatly transformed to read;
"My tall friend, our Lordm Horace
Grccley's manuscript was n puzzle to
most people, and, therefore, II is not
to wondered at that when he wrote;
