Love or Friendship 2

II think II lies in the belief and the
possibility Of platonic friendship with
married man. A number Of letters
have come to mo written by unhappy
girls, who, having been thrown either
through business or In a soclnl way
with fascinating men, have yielded to
the attraction, believed In the posi-.
bility Of such friend slip. only to dis
cover that what was talked Of a.
friendship was in reality love. Moth.
Ing excuses you, my dear girl, for lov.
Ing o man whose heart, mind, and
body belong to another woman.
1T ID true that too often these un.
desirable friendships begin In tho most
innocent way, but the very minute
that you hnd that this man Is becoming
a necessity to your happiness you must
stop at once. The old story Is told by
the wicked man, the oft.told story Of an
unsympathetic wife-a wife that II
not companionablc, a wife given over
to domestic aifairs--with, as O natural
sequence, the oft.told story that you
bring a little light into his life, that
you mako q little happiness, and that
you are the only woman who ever
thoroughly understood him. This In
such an old story, and vet It 10 one to
which too many women listen. My
dear girl. look the matter straight In
the face. No matter how bad mans
vito may be. no matter how he nay
long for companionship, you are doing
an absolute wrong by even listening to

Inc corruption of Tammony NppCr-
emily extends to the very bowels of
the earth and is of Cimmerian dark
ness-as elusive ns the merest shadow,
as subtle and insidious rs the deadli-
est disease and MS ayenging as the
dreaded Mutin. The committee of
seventy has just now large amount
of business on its hands. Through
subcommittee it has unearthed frauds
in several city departments, which
promise indictments when the grand
Jury has considered the evidence.
Certain new evidence of Tammany
corruption not disclosed in the inyestl-
cations leading up to last falls tidal
wave Of reform were based upon work
which n special subcommittee OF that
body has been doing i'll secret for
several months past
1t has been known for long time
that these slcuths Of reform were fol-
lowing trails that promised interest
ing results. 1t is stated that positive
proof has been found that in ut least
one department many dummies have
been carried upon the payrolIs, and
large sums in the aggregate wrongful
ly obtained in this way. If there is
any way of getting at the bottom Of
this oiliciaI corruption which is eating
at the very heart OF official integrity,
it should be done if it takes all sum-
mer A permanent Lexow committee
should be established, to continually
investigate public affairs and corrupt
officials and keep them in line.

The annual dinner of the Yal

The annual dinner of the Yale
Alumni Association was held in New
York City and Ex-Judge Henry L.
Rowland, President of the associa-
ton, spoke rs follows regarding the
football question: "It is difficult to
restrain within the bounds of modera-
ton the feelings of indignation at the
treatment by certain newspapers dur
ing the last season of the Yale team,
one of the best that has ever been on
the field, and its captain, who has
never been outclassed by any player
of any college or any team. The filings
and taunts ut them for not following
the advice of self-constituted mentors
as to who and where they should play
Were incessant Misrepresentation Of
their action and motives was of daily
occurrence. Their work was belittled
and their pretensions ridiculed. The
game has received too much promi-
hence in the newspapers, to its great
injury. That is not the fault of the
players, but of the critics, and we all
agree that it is not good thing for
young men in college to become ath.
letic heroes before large masses in
cities"

The pampas are the great plains of
South America which extend from
Patagonia to the Bolivian frontier
They cover an area Of 100000 square
miles. The southern portion forms n
great desert, dotted here and there
with sand pools and marshes. The
northern portion is occupied by the
vast unexplored territory of the Gran
Chaco. The salient features of the
northern and northwestern parts Of
this huge territory are plains furnish
ing magnificent pasture lands. These
plains are interspersed with dense
timber forests, lagoons and rivers.
The growths of clover, thistles and
pampas grass are most remarkable.
On these huge plains millions of cattle
roam, which are attended by many
thousands of cowboys, who herd them
mounted on their sturdy mustangs.
This wild, nomadic life is arduous in
the extreme, but even the lazy cow
boy has his holiday. One of their
diversions Is tug OF war between Two
cowboys, or gauchos, as they are
called. Each is mounted on u power
fnl horse of the country, the high
horns of the so-called Mexican sad
dies are connected by lssso or raw
hide. Both horses are urged in OPP
posite directions by their drivers with
whip and spur The gauchos and In
dians applaud and make bets, the
lasso tlghtens, then there is sound
of straining of the saddle girths. If
they h Did, one of tho horses is pulled
up on his hind legs, while his fore
legs paw the air. An instant more
and he is down, while the rider extri-
Gates himself as best he can. The
gauchos seldom stay for any length of
time in one place. they are very lazy
arc only work when they see fit.
Mary of them come from the Argen'

It is well Known that very much
larger proportion OF carbonic acid
than usually exists in the atmosphere
can be inhaled with impunity, but
only recently have we been aware OF
the large quantity that can be breathed
without actual danger. Ordinary
fresh air contains but four parts in
10000, yet the carbonic acid has to
reach three per cent. or 100 times the
usual quantity beiors any difference is
noticed in the respiration As the
percentage rises the person breathing
it begins to pant, but with air con.
tanning as much as ten pei cent. only
headache is produced, although the
paeting is violent. The actual danger
point is not reached until the carbonic
acid rises to eighteen per cent.
Foul air in room where number
of persons are present is not danger.
Gus on account of the carbonic acid it
contains, but owing to poisonous
organic substance given off with the
breath. Carbonic acid is not direct
poison, but when the danger point is
reached the air can take none from
the blood in the lungs, SO that the
fires of the human engine are extin-
guished by their own smoke, as it
were, 1t is really wonderful what the
human engine will endure, for candle
goes out when the oxygen in the air
sinks to 1876, instead of the usual
twenty one per cent, and the carbonic
acid rises to 2.5. -Chambers's journal.

her, and make her contribute to

it against the Title Guarant G and

had taken the mortgage out OF the
trust company's hands on the date
when personal assessments are fixed.
Therefore the assessment had to be
vacated. But revenge is sweet and

noticeable that the majority of writ
ers who capture IL platform in New

ents retire with it to some rcstfuI

Of the panorama. But is that not
because rents are higher in New York,

According to the British Medical

According to the British Medical
Journal the rearing of fowls in Tunis,
Italy, has been almost abandoned,
owing to the enormous mortality
caused by disease characterized in
the formation of false membranes in
the throat. Among persons attending
to fowls in Tunis large number of
cases presenting symptoms of diph-
liberia occur. Loir and Ducloux have
made meteorological examination
of six such cases, and in one, n child
suffering from severe angina, with
false membranes, which were neither
very thick nor very adherent, they
found the bacillus which they had
observed in fowls. The child resided
on farm where the fowls had been
suffering from diphtheria for six
months.
