How Diphtheria Spreads.

The city water supply has nothing TO
do with the causation or spread Of diph-
liberia. except, possibly, as a contami-
mated water affects the general health Of
the individual and so lowers the resist
ing power of the system. The increase
of disease every fall is due largely to
catching cold" to vitiated air in
dwellings, caused by closing doors and
windows that have been kept open all
summer. and to similar causes that tend
to produce q sensitive condition Of the
throat, favorable to the growth Of the
diphtheria germ. There should be added
to these causes the diminishing hours OF
sunlight as the year wanes The direct
rays of the sun kill the diphtheria germ,
but moisture and darkness favor its
growth and multiplication. Good house
wives, who open windows and shades TO
the free access of sun and air. are prac-
teal sanitarians, fighting contagion and
infection with the best and most potent
of all disinfectants. That cats, poultry.
parrots and some other Of the lower ami
mails are susceptible to diphtheria. and
often convey it to children and others, ID
beyond question. The rules OF the ILL
nois state board of health for the sup
preston and prevention Of diphtheria
have recognized this fact for years, and
direct the removal Of birds and other
domestic pets and the exclusion Of cats
from the sickroom. The precaution ia Q
wise one, based upon observed facts -

.Good Morning" In Samoa.

had to go down to Apia five or six
different times, and each time there
were 100 black boys to say "Good
morning to. This was rather tedious
business, and, as very few Of them an

with grunt like pigs, it was several
times in my mind to give up this piece
Of politeness. The last time went
down was almost decided; but when
came 10 the first pair Of black boys,
and saw them looking so comic and SO
melancholy, began the business over
again. This time ! thought more of
them seemed to answer, and when got
down to the tail end where the carts
were running, / received very pleas

was pushing Mt the back of cart, lift

Sunday morning and today practically
in position, The two north spans north
OF the draw are about twenty feet short
er than the three south ones and are
therefore only proportionately as high
aud the steel is also not so heavy. The

no,rs.. At,empt. to ue Modern.

The tendencyin Rome has Of late been
toward the artificial, and it is q refresh
ment to come upon some untouched por-
ton of what is good as we'll as pic
turesque. The attempt to produce a
modern capital at all hazards and costs
has told upon the population ms well as
upon the city itself. For at great centers
the first result Of modern civilization Is
vice, and the next is degeneracy. 1t Is
really quite useless to ignore the fact in
print, when it is perfectly apparent to
every man in his senses. Italy is no
worse than other countries, but neither
is che an exception to the general rule,
and since the most necessary institutions
of civilization are prisons and hospitals,
it is to Italy's credit that she should
have spent as much as she has upon
them in the midst Of so much utterly
senseless extravaganza In other direc
tions. Marion Crawford in Century.

who make our songs. who compose the

responsible for many of those bright lit

whose brains invent many of the ideas
that other men utilize. 1t il no exagger-

pair of dice. They were innocent looking
little white bones and he had quite forgot
ten them when the proprietor remarked.
Athens loaded"
whats loadeds"
'Why, the dice"
"Oh," tho reporter calculated. The pro-
prietor picked up the dice, and throwing
them on the counter said, "Come seven,
and sure enough seven came. Some one
else pitched them, and five turned up, but
before he could make another five TO gain
his point that fatal seven showed its face
again, and so IL went, the i've and the two
making the seven three out OF five shots.
"Thore are only two mon in the city
who can or will load dice" the proprietor
explained.
Before Jones turned loose on the gam
blers one could get So and SO for loading a
pair Of dice, and II the job was difficult you
could get even more than that. but now
SO is very good price, and there Is less to
do than there once was at any price.
"These were loaded for a regular gam
bling house, and crack shot will never
recognize the iron. To do the job right re-
quires q good deal of skill and pains. You
bore the eye and pour in your mercury or
beat in your lead. II you use mercury, 10
must be in tho form Of quicksilver. Mer-
curry is probably the best, though q tiny
lead shot will answer the purpose OF the
ordinary dice. You then take bit OF ivory,
and fitting 1t In the plug countersink the
eye. II the loader understands his busi-
ness, there Is no professional who can de-
| tect the fraud. Not to make the weight
suspicious you can bore and leave hollow
| that side of the die for which IL is loaded.
Sometimes there is big money In the
| business. About a year ago, when dice
were the rage with gentlemen OF the green
cloth, party of local gamblers sent all the
way to Colorado for an expert to come and
do their little trick. He came, and In one
night he and bis crowd did one game for
5000. The next day he returned to the
Black Hills. That man was once noted
gambler in this city. II was about this
time that Chief Adkins, after having
made raid on some notorious dive placed
on exhibition pair of loaded dice out In
| halves.
"Speaking Of tho price Of dice, e5 or %
is letting them off light. In some cities
where the dice are loaded In professional
way not to order, but for regular sale,
| dice hat without the lead are worth about
| so lnts with lead will cost you els. But,
after all, that isn't much, for the man
who handles them right Is soon in. -
