An amusing instance of the sim
olicity of a little negro boy is told by
a lady in whose family the lad lived
for several years. When he was
about seven years old he was set to
learn words in an old spelling book.
He at once became interested In
watching a ace between a small boy
and old Father Time, as re presented
by an engraving, and every spare
moment he had during the day he
devoted to the contemplation of this
chase, which was to him both real
and exciting.
When bedtime came he reluctantly
laid aside the book, and his study Of
dat OF Teller wild de mowin' scyve''
had to be given up for that day.
The, next morning the first thing he
did was to get the old speller and
turn its pages eagerly until he came
to the exciting picture.
He gazed ~intently at the figures for
an instant, and then exclaimed! with
a scream of delight as he capered 10y.

The most Important members OF
the group OF ernprive fevers are small
pox, measles, and scarlet fever.
Others OF minor Importance are
chlcken-pox. cow-pox or vaccine dis
ease ana German measles. All are
characterized by an eruption upon the
skin as 9 prominent feature Of the
disease. All are contagious In q high
degree and run adefnite course, which
cannot be stopped by any known
means. The ability to distinguish be-
tween the different members of the
group, at as early a date as possible. Is
often Of the utmost Importance, in
order to prevent the spread of the
disease.
The time from the date of e x
posture until the first appearance OF
the fever varies In smallpox from
Ave to twenty days, with an average
Of twelve days; In measles 1t is usually
from six to ten days, sometimes ex-
tending fourteen or fifteen; In scarlet
fever the average is from four to six
days, with an extreme variation Of
from n to fourteen days.
The initial fever In each case pre-.
sents the features common to all
feyers, with certain differences which
are not always well marked. The be.
ginning of smallpox is especially
characterized by a severe headache
and pain in the back. In measles
there are the usual features of a cold
in the head with a bronchial cough.
In scarletina vomiting and convul-
sions are especially common In chill.
dren. The best medical authorities
declare that, while a probable opin.
ion may often be formed from the at
tendant circumstances, such as the
prevalence of the disease and known
exposure, 1t is often impossible to
determine the disease with certainty
until the appearance Of the charac-
teristic eruption. The eruption In
smallpox appears first around the
mouth and chin, on the third day OF
the fever; In measles, 1t appears frst
on the forehead and temples, on the
fourth day; and in scarlet fever. on
the face, neck, and chest slmultane-
ously, on the second day of the fever.
In small. pox the eruption consists
of small, red pimples, becoming vesi.
Giles, and then pustules, with a mi
mute depression in the center; in
measles, Of small red dots like flea
bites; and In scarletina, of a bright
scarlet rash evenly diffused.
The fever lessons on the first ap-
pearance Of the rash In smallpox, but
increases again In its later stages, In
measles, the fever increases as the
rash makes its appearance and de.
clines gradually as it disappears. In
scarlet fever, it continues undated
until the fading OF the rash, when it
falls rapidly.
The usual duration Of favorable
cases Of smallpox, from the initial
fever to conyalescence, is from two to-
three weeks; of measles, from six to
ten days; and of scarlet fever, from
eight to nine days.

A Prisoner saves tn. pailin.s Life.

A supposed criminal was arrested

Danube, when suddenly he jumped
into the water. The weather had
been very severe, and there were
great blocks of floating ice stretch.
ing right across the stream. Spring.
ing from block to block the prisoner
succeeded In gaining the opposite
bank followed ut a distance by the
policeman. But the policeman was
less nimble, and he fell into the
swiftly flowing river. Here (remarks
the London Daily News was a very
nice question of casuistry. Ought
the man who was under arrest to
stand by and see a fellow creature,
and wen a policeman, drowned, or
ought he to risk his own life to save
him, with the prospect Of putting the
letters once more upon himself? To
the credit of human nature, the
prisoner did not hesitate a moment.
He plunged In and brought the police
man safely to dry land. Then it was
the turn Of the policeman to be gen.
erous. He offered to represent the
matter to the proper authorities with
a view to obtaining a l~jfe-saying
medal for his preserver. The latter,
however, ldid not see the matter quite
In the same light. He claimed his lib.
erty and the other agreed he had
earned it, and giving him q couple Of
marks for himself, dismissed him
with a blessing. The fugitive has
not yet been recaptured.
