 Tothe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The editorial headed Appendicitis" which appeared in this mornings JOURNAL AND COURIER has no doubt left very en- Tightening effect upon the minds of Its readers, especially those of the medical profession. If the aforesaid article had appeared in Puck or Judge or some other humorous sheet it might have been regard ed as harmless satire and an excellent piece of witticism. But as 1t appears as 1t did, in daily newspaper as serious com- ment on that dreaded disease, 1t has caused much wonderment in many minds whether the esteemed writer has ever studied the subject of appendicitis or not.
 Perhaps he did not know that in "child- hoods happy hours," many years ago, more than one early grave was filled through the inability of the surgeon of that day to perform the necessary opera tion for the relief of the game disease or even the knowledge that such a condition of inflammation existed. Perhaps George Washington and many good people who have long been numbered with the im- mortals did sfgobble cherries and swallow the stones;" and lived for many years afterwards to tell the tale. But this is of frequent occurrence today and many cherry stones. date, orange and lemon seeds, and even 'coins" are ushered into the unwelcome domains of the appendix and those who possess the aforesaid arti- cles, carry them about in sitE with happy visage, until old age ushers them into the unexplored realm.
 So far the writer is correct, but doss he know that although quarts of various seeds may bs swallowed, . case of appendicitis | may never follow. Appendicitis is caused | by bacteria and may result from severe ex- poeure or other cauees, without first swal- | lowing specified amount of embryonic | tres. And as for people rushing to their deaths by allowing the surgeon to remove the cause of the[ dread disease, all car say is If you think no operation necessary | for the same, try spell of appsndicitii yourself and try to pull through without

making. In other words. they have made headway rather than hip way. Some large hats are trimmed entirely from the very center of the low crown. A big leshorn Is shown with a sort of octopus bow on the very top of the crown, from under the spreading ends of which four long ostrich plumes radiste towards the four points of the compass. Their tips curl softly over the brim of the hat amid the fluff of chiffon frill set on the up- per side of the brim from the crown base to the edge of the brim.
 It is handsomely showy hat that the artist has sketched, one made of red straw drsped around the brim with fine black lace. At one side there Is 8 bunch of red roses and a large bunch of black satin ribbon stands up in front. Mercury wirQs are as popular as ever on theater hats. They are set on the sides of the headdress. are usually in turquoise blue. and are often all that Is seen of the hat. Emerald velvet, knots of violsts, loosely disposed buttercups and plenty of rose stems twisted about all the dainty bunchi- ness make the correct hat of the season.

INTERMITTENT mOnOGAMY.

INTERMITTENT mONOGAMY.
 We suppose that as there are marriages there must be divorces. People get tired of each other end they find out that they are not as we'll fitted for each other as they imagined they were in loves young dream. Then they feel that 1t would be better for themselves and for the world If they should cease trying to be homogeneous and become consecutively polygsmous. So they hie themselves to the courts and tell narrowing tales of deceit and cruelty and desertion, and the courts make twain of one flesh with neatness and despatch.
 But notwithstanding the general preva- lence of divorce there is feeling that 1t is often as vulgar as marriage and that those who take part in it do not do themselves or the world any great amount of good by jumping out of one trying pan into anoth- CT. It is also dimly perceived by some that consecutive polygamy is hardly the thing for @ Christian country. Indeed, some enthusiasts assert that real Turkish polygamy is no worse than tho consecutive and law sanctioned kind which exists in this highly. civiliz.d land. Such peo- pie would like to see divorce decrease and monogsmy increase. They do what they can to better mat ters according to their idea, but they dent have success enough to encour- age them much. Divorce while you walt and divorce while you don't wait seem to be on the increase and consecutive polyga- my fourishes.
 Of course the situation is the outgrowth of human nature, and human nature is queer stuff. Isn't it possible that the ad vocAtes of pure and uninterrupted mono gamy haven't made allowance enough for human nsturea Can't there be 6 com promise of some kinda An idea in this line of thought is suggested by the perfor- mances of John Davis and Mrs. Mary 0. Davis, of Emporis, Kansas. These two are now in the sere and yellow leaf of life, and they have just been divorced from each other for the fifth time. Five times hath Hymen's torch famed for them and five times have they legally broken Fly mems bands. They have had all the ex citement there Ia in marriage and divorce | without the excitement of consecutive l polygamy. They have kept the whol'
 business in the family. Though divorced l just now 1t is possible that they will soor
 be remarked and Death may catch then
 married, as wss their original intention
 We don't say their example is worthy O
 imitation, but is 1t not more worthy o
 imitation than consecutive polygamy
 If people must be married and divorced
 will it not be more decent for them to b
 intermittently homogeneous, as MT. an'
 Mrs. Davis have been?

AGAIN THE BACTERIA.
 A medical or semi-medical gentleman notifies us that we don't know any thing about Appendicitis. Of course we don't, and we cheerfully admit eur singularity in that respect. And we just as cheerfully accept his conclusive declaration that the fashionable disease is caused by bacteria. But having reached this point we don't feel that we have made much progress. If Appendicitis is not caused by cherry stones, grape seeds, etc, etc, and is caused by bacteria, how is it that the bao- teria are so much more active and deadly than they were few years sgos Have their natures chsnReda Have they be- come infected with the modern spirit of hustlea Do they feel their oats on &C., count of the attention that is psid them by scientists, and do they wish to show their importsncea Or do they feel the insults that have been showered upon them by Dr. Dibbls, and are they seeking revenge on the human race for his impudencea. If our medical or semi-medical correspondent will show why the bacteria are 50 much moro belligerent than they formerly were it will do just as we'll as if he answered our original ignorant inquiries.

With the unprecedented success of the genuine JOHANN HoFF's Malt Extract. it was naturally to be expected that limitations would soon follow. JOHANN HoFF accepts this as the best compliment which could be paid 10 him, as only persons and things of sterling value are copied by the third and fourth rate aspirants to fame and distinction. Envy is at the bottom of all social and commercial animosity.

 It is said that the carvings on the chalk
 walls of the Pommery cellars have TO- mantle history associated with them. A young artist from Paris, named Henri de Catinat, finding himself utterly destitute, one day applied to Mme. Pommery for as- sistance. That good lady, whose nature was as generous as the wine that bears her name, treated him with the utmost kind ness and hospitality. Before leaving the chateau the artist begged to bs allowed to express his gratitude in some way, and spent day in the Pommery cellars, leav- ing behind him the artistic carvings which are to day the admiration of the bes. Euro pean connoisseurs. The whereabouts of the artist have been unknown since.
 The prohibitionists - showed great strength in the election which has just been held in New Zealand under the new licens- ing law. It was provided under the act that if majority pronounced in favor of the continuance of the present state of af- fairs, all licenses should be renewed for a period of three years. Another provision gave to majority of three ftths of the voters power to veto the issue of any H. censes in district. It was further pro vided that a simple majority should be able to bring about 8 reduction in the number of licenses. A vote for reduction compsls the committee to decrease the number of licensed houses by not more than one-fourth. In the Dunedin district 2, 400 persons voted, and total prohibition was only lost by eighteen votes. In Oamaru and Clutha prohibition was carried, and at Port Chalmers the prohibition vote was within fifty of the requieite three-ffths majority. At Wellington five moderates- that is, candidates who are agreed that there should be certain reforms in the H. censing system and that mere drinking shanties should be swept away, but that sll reputable houses should be retained and three extremists were elected on the licensing committee. The prohsbitionists boiled there altogether 3,400 votes. At Christ Church and a number of other places the prohibitionist vote. although in suficient to enforce the caIcelling of all licenses, secures the reduction of the num- bsr of public houses.

SrR:-Thsre was published in your
paper on the 18th inst an article con-
corning myself and wife, under the
heading. "He flew rather high" which
in point Of truthlulness was as far
away from that highly priced charac'
teristic Of true manhood as the narrow
minded persons who wrote 10 are from
the first principles Of intelligence and
decency.
They left no stone unturned, no lie
untold that had a semblence OF truth
about It. knowing that a lie that
was part lie would be more
effective than the truth, they proceeded
to act accordingly. An article, as the
following will show, written by avowed
enemies, to be read by protested
friends and commented on by the public
In general. Below are the facts in the
case:
My wife is not, and never was gen.
eral agent for Philadelphia publish
ing house, and l was not local agent
under her, and l did not borrow fifty
dollars from her. Neither were we
married in Buffalo, bR in Herkimer,
New York. Then, again, there was no
scene whatever when my wife came To
see me. Nor did she go TO Morgantown
from Cameron, but to Bolton, to see
after some baggage, thence to Wheeling
the same day.
I was occasionally with some OF the
young ladies, but was engaged to no
one, and that is the only thing that was

that has the least Of truth in it.
Persons sometimes lose their situa-
tions by talking TOO much. Others do
not follow avocations that could stand
the search light Of public opinion. And
others should look nearer home for
something to talk about.
The next time l am compelled to
answer will give the pedigree OF some
parties in full with the names.
