PNEC NONIA.
The Cause and Prevention Of IL Com
mon DiSeaAe.

mon Disease.
This Is the season of the year when
men, women and children sicken and die
from pneumonia, says the Cleveland Lead
err. Flannels are not put on soon enough,
perhaps. Summer shoes are sometimes
worn into early winter Cold weather is
not always met as it should be. People
are careless. Strong men, when they are
well, fancy themselves to be germ and
disease proof
And thus it is and no doubt thus it
will be. The cool-headed woman and the
sensible man. if they love this earth and
want to stay, will keep their feet warm
and dry, however, and will put on good
fiannels when the wind gets sharp.
DR.. Cyrus Edison, commissioner Of health
for the state and city of New York, in
letter to the public gives some interesting
information and makes some valuable sug-
gestions in respect to pneumonia and it's
prevention. He says that pneumonia is
probably an earth germ disease and that
in cold weather the germs make their way
to the unfrozen ground beneath houses
Thus houses become their route of escape
from earth to air, and thus all houses
ought to be well ventilated.
DIR. Edison of course points out these
well-known but little needed truths in
respect to overfatigue irregular eating
and sleeping, and lack of open air exer-
else. If man is strong, if he eats al Civ
en- hours, if he gets all the sleep he needs,
if he walks or rides in the open air, he
can generally take in a germ and throw
it off again. All doctors say this and say
it pretty often, considering that they do
so for nothing.
However, there people who won't
listen to their physicians and they suffer,
sometimes DR.. Edison gives these people
lot of very important advice. He says
that when an adult is seized with a sud-
den chill, the chill which is the beginning
of pneumonia, ten grains of quinine in
one dose should be taken Immediately fol-
lowed at once by five drops of camphor
in water or on a lump of sugar. The feet
should be soaked in hot water, the body
being wrapped in a blanket. Then" says
he, Jump into bed The body will per-
spire being yet wrapped in a blanket,
and "a prospective case of pneumonia
may be nipped in the bud
In this climate, where sudden and violent
changes occur, warm under and outer
clothing and stout dry shoes are, accord
ing to the DOCTORS absolutely necessary
in early winter. The day may be pleasant
but death frequently turks in the bracing
but deceptive north wind.

TRIALS OF 4 DRUG CLERK.



lions nnd Troublesome Customers.
There are innumerable new ones, rem
dered necessary by the fast life of ours.
They all have more or less merit and con-
tain about the same essential ingredients.
New patent medicines are put on the mar
ket every day. Their success depends large
ly on the advertising that is done. The
druggist frequently is left with a lot of
| unstable medicine on his hands, when the
advertising is stopped rhr
Now, here's thing Of interest. Doctors
make mistakes in writing prescriptions.
Some are careless; others cannot SPELL The
pharmacist must not tell the customer who
brings the prescription Of this The. Gus
toner would either think the clerk very
| impudent fellow or lose faith in the physi-
clan. Another vexatieus thing is the prac-
tice of quacks i'll ma king out prescriptions
with, several drugs in them that can! only
be procured of the advertiser We are often
obliged to ransack the store to satisfy
these customers.
l. DO you notice these silver threads among
/ the gold?" asked the clerk as he pointed
to a few white hairs among the lusterless
brown ones that adOrn his head ."Those
silver threads are the result of repeated
and continual attempts to read prescrip-
tons that contain only slight clew to the
intended meaning. Now. for instance, what
would you give a littla miss of who, asked
you for cents worth of glory divne?"
I'D tell her we We're just out Of it, but
would have some I'M on Wednesday,"
mo, you wOulm t, eff you were drug
clerk. You would probably do as I did;
give her cents wortip of chloride of lime"
I'll tell you how it, is, reporter. A drug
clerk works more hours, has more respon-
sibilty, and gets less pay generally, than
the clerk in any other business. He must
also be a walking encyclopedia He must
know where all the streets are located,
where all the physicians live be able to
give off-hand any information that be-
nighted individual may ask him for. If
ne does not have it at his tongues end,
he is charged with lack of courtesy And
a drug clerk must be courteous He must
also be able to read any sort of handwrt-
ing and guess the correct prescription when
a palpable mistake has been made in writ
ing it,

THE RUNAWAY STAR.
Travelling Through Space at the Rate
of 300 Miles Il Sccnnd.


The greatest velocity that has been rec
ogniZed among the stars is found in the
motion of a star known as 1880 Groom
bridge, or the runaway STAR as it is
sometimes called, which is believed to be
rushing through space at the rate of 200
miles per second, says All the Year Round
This star appears to be moving in a per-
fectly straight line through the sky, and it
may be visiting star system for the
first time, but whence it came or whittier
1t is going no one can tell, and it is a great
enigma to astronomers.
Its wonderful velocity can not be ex-
planned as it is far greater than could be
produced by the influence of all known orbs
in the universe, and, on the other hand
the combined attraction of all the stars
can not stop this wanderer in it's solitary
flight through space, until it has rushed
on to the remoter distances, beyond which
the largest telescopes have never pene-
trated
1t has been fundamentally demonstrated
that body approaching the center of our
system from an infinite distance can not
move with greater velocity than % miles
second, if influenced by the attraction
of the masses in our universe alone, but
here we have been considering a star NOV
ing with eight times that velocity and
still, Notwithstanding the fact that it has
the greatest motion known among the
stars it would require $4,000 years for this
remarkable star to complete an entire cir
cult around the heavens

Chunks of Sound Sense.

Among n very large proportion of farm
ers who keep cows, Hoard's Dairyman
says, the difficulty with their methods OF
practice is that they do not see the truth
They have never trained their minds tc
think in that direction, and no wonder thev
cannot see their most obvious duty. No
wonder they do not believe the truth whom
it is told them by more successful farmers
How can man believe when he eonnot
see any ground for believing? There c 70

CHAPTER v.
ON FIRE.

Whence came the sound? It was the
half caste who was returning surrepti-
tiously. The intention of this monster,
when he promised to return to Salem,
was to gain the necessary time for re-
loading his musket This done, he set
oat again In pursuit of Alfonso.
It is quite impossible to express the
rage which the Brazilian felt at the
sight of Gregorio. He picked up his
gun, glided quietly through the shrubs
without losing sight of his enemy and
began to climb a cedar, so as to find
himself for this the last time in face of
the half caste. It was necessary to put
an end to this.
Still the heat became every instant
more terrible and more intense. Thick
black clouds rested on the tops of the
high trees and darkened the forest TO
such degree that you might have sup
posed that night had come suddenly ON.
Then the sun appeared again a moment
afteaward more burning than ever. On
the heads of these two men the heavy
atmosphere weighed like so much lead.
Alfonso, perspiring at every pore, reach
ed the top of his cedar without having
been seen by the half caste, who cast his
eyes over all the neighboring trees.
"Gregorio, he then cried out to him,
''you need not look any farther. / am
here You are perjurer and coward
One of MS two must die.
Hearing this voice. the sergeant be-
gan to take all prudent precaution.
They were only 10 PAGES from each 9th
er, protected by the trunk of tree, and
each waiting for an imprudence on the
part of his enemy to fire on him. Then
Alfonso took his straw hat, put 1t on
the end of the barrel of his gun, and
trying to initiate the movement Of
head cautiously put forward he gently
pushed it out Of mass of foliage, TAX
ing good care to remain himself in the
background. Gregorio was taken in.
Ho quickly shouldered his rife and
fired The hat. pierced by the ball, fell
TO the ground. A cry of triumph came
from the throat of the pursuer, and no
emerged into the open. A. the same in
slant Alfonso discovered himself and
cried out:

A clap Of thunder of Unprecedented
violence suddenly broke over their heads
and shook the whole forest The clouds
gathered In less time than it takes TO
write it. and the storm broke out with
inconceivsble force. The fores. became
as dark as night Alfonso understood
tl,at the first thing was to fly, and not
caring to have another death ON his con.
science he left the half caste TO himself
and rushed as quickly as no could 70 the
great river, which could not be very far
of.

Alfonso was only waiting for fash Of
lightning TO shoot him down, took ad-
vantage of tho obscurity and fed I'm the

The half caste obeyed. He commenced
his retreat, constantly showing himself
and turning round from time TO time In
order to cast ON Alfonso the look of a
panther. At last he disappeared in the
depth Of the wood.
Up to now poor Alfonso excited by
fear and by the unspeakable emotion
of this hunt in which he was the game,
had not felt so much Of the horrible suf-
fering caused by the wounds and stings
Of the mosquitoes, but when he found
himself alone--when, bathed in blood
and sweat, he sank down upon the inn
mense branch from which he had
threatened Gregorio-hunger, thirst,
insurmountable WEAKNESS and ter
rible smarting which pervaded his
whole body caused him such fearful
suffering that he almost repented that
he had not followed the half caste to go

call him back that he might deliver
himself up.
