The British Medical journal reports,
with reference to the Australian colo
nies, that during the month of January,
when 800 parsons died of sunstroke, a
request way made of the medical board
to issue some instructions for the avoid
ance of this grave disease. The board is
stated to have declared that of all pre-
disposing causes undue indulgence i'll in
toxicating liquor is the most common
and the most dangerous; further, that
during the attack it is dangerous TO en-
ploy intoxicants as remedy. To this
The Journal adds that in many cases
sunstroke has practically been alcohol
stroke. and in other cases an irjudicious
resort to alcohol therapeutically has en-
dangercd the sufferers life. All usual
precautions being observed, the strictly
abstinent are least liable to heat apo

The value attached by the poor, and
even by those who are not in the depths
of poverty, to decent surroundings in
family life is a very variable quantity.
Decent lodging is not by any means
universally regarded as one of the prime
Decessaries of life. Occasionally it is
relegated to quite back seat.
An instance was given before the
commission Of a family of seven per-
sons-father, mother two grown up sons
and three grown up daughters-all liv-
ing in one room. With them this ar
rangement was a matter of choice, not
necessity, for they earned between them
about 97 week, more than $3.50 q
year, and even from slum landlord
they could no doubt have afforded to
rent another room or two. Having
screwed down the item of rent to an
irreducible minimum, they determined
to have thoroughly good time, and this
is how the witness describes their pro-
ceedings: In the evening they would
all go cut to the music halls and to the
theaters On Saturday afternoon they
would take five tickets each for some
omnibus or conveyance that was going
into the country. aud on Sunday they
would 60 to Brighton aud to other
places. 1t is comforting to reflect that
these Arcadian beings We're a unit
ed family and always took their pleas
ure together as we'll as their maps 1t
is not stated whether they took in
lodgers. From .sThe Housing of the

The yellow rover Mlcrobe.

Dr. Sanarelli, discoverer of the bacil-
lus of yellow fever, in the course of a
lecture recently delivered III Monte
video, declared the dread disease to
be due to microbe, which had been
named by him icteroid, and that it
was rarely found either in the blood
of yellow fever patients or in their
bodies after death, as it easily disap-
peared. Furthermore, the isolation of
the microbe was difficult, but bacterio-
logical diagnosis was possible. Twenty
four hours cultures in gelatin were
recognizable without microscope. The
microbe was very deadly for animals,
producing, when experiments were
made, cyclic malady, with symptoms
and LESSONS identical with those pro-
duced in men-namely, gastro-enteritis,
hemorrhage, nephritis, ur9mia and
fatty degeneration of the liver, destroy
ing the hepatic cell like phosphorus and
thus suppressing the natural defense of
the organism.

tleman. his devotion to high scholar
ship and to truth, and of his unbroken
fidelity as preacher.
I'm glowing speech commemora-
tive of Queen Victoria's long lease of
power, DR.. Parker, of London, de-
clared the other day: 1--WE do not
celebrate the queens long reign, but
the queens good reign" With fine
independence, DR.. Parker added: I'VE
owe much to the queen. but the queen
owes much more to US. Let her close
her splendid reign by restoring to God
The titles Head of the church and De
fender of the faith" This passage
was greeted with loud cheers.
The impracticability of some pious
souls is well illustrated by conversa-
ton which once passed between DR..
Creighton and another English bishop
regarding man for whom they wanted
to do something. The bishops spoke
at length about his virtues, and detailed
his good qualities, they considered
what he could do and what could be
done for him, but at last one of them
heaved a sigh and remarked: HE is
as good as gold, and he will go to
Heaven; but he is no use"

A Romantic Cnnrtshin.

Miss Maggie Fritschkorn of Euclid,
o., assisted her brother-in-la john
Marshall, in shipping grapes from his
large vineyard. One day Miss Fritsch-
korn wrote the following note and
placed it in a basket Of grapes:
will whoever gets this note please
write to me, no matter whether it be
man or woman?' The basket was ship
ped to St. Louis and was bought by Mrs.
Mary Wolf Her brother in law, J. 81.
Wolf, we'll to do man Of 81. an
swered the note, which led to the ex-
change of photographs and letters. One
day Mr. Wolf went to Euclid and found
that the original of the attractive look
ing photograph was remarkably pret-
ty young woman, with sunny hair and
sparkling eyes. Cupid gave each one Of
the correspondents loving pat, and
within week Miss Fritschkorn became
Mrs. J. H, Wolf. They have just gone
back to make their home in St Louis.

An Alleged Count Gets Married.

Count Julian Rado, formerly of
Hungary, the other day married Miss
Carrie Ewald, until receatly member
of the Frohman company playing in the
"Masqueraders. y
Miss Ewald is the daughter of a
wealthy Jersey City stationer. She lived
with her parents at 339 York street, in
that city. The engagement was an
nounced in January last, but was
broken off after investigation had been
made into the counts" past history.
He has had previous matrimonial
ventures in this city and while posing
as representative of the Hungarian
government was arrested on charge of
swinding, made by the proprietress of
a cigarette factory in Broadway, where
he was employed as salesman. A
young man of his name and description
has a bad police record in Budapest,
whence he came.
The marriage WAS performed by the
well known Pastor Schneider at his
home, 325 Second avenue, New York
city, at 10 O'Clock at night The wit
nesses were Henry Weber and Alexander
Szaraz. The latter's picture, it is said,
adorns the rogues' gallery in Budapest,
as does that of Julian Rado. New

AN Ingenious Experiment.

Mr.. Clarence Alva of St. Louis has
thought of little scheme which gives
very good idea of the manner in
which the earth is kept in space. Mr..
Alva says person may get the right
idea if he secures couple of magnets
and places them directly opposite each
other so that the currents shall flow in
opposite directions. They should be an
inch or so from each other. The mag
nets should be rather strong and should
be Of the same size and strength. Then
the experimenter should make a little
sphere of paper or some light substance
and fasten two pieces of steel or similar
metal to the ball, the metals being al
most exactly opposite. Then comes the
work of placing the sphere in the ex-
act center Of the space between the two
magnets If the experimenter can do
this, be will have the sphere remaining
in the air without any visible means Of
support. 1t is quite tric.., to get the
thing i'll correct operation, but Mr.. Aiva
says it can be done

Dainty wraps..

Summer wraps have a variety In form
this season which ought to furnish
suitable model for every style of figure;
but, making satisfactory selection
seems to be quite as difficult as ever.
There are round capes rufied with silk
lace and chiffon; mant1es, pelerines
and mantillas, coats and jackets of every
imaginable shape; but the dominant
style in London is close, short jacket
with cape sleeves. The French gar
ment of this kind is loose, yet cut to
reveal the lines of the figure. and hand
somely embroidered with gold. 1t is
often fastened at one side like the fash
ionaIble bodice. and the cape sleeves are
Of lace with loops of satin ribbon.
Round. short capes of black taffeta,
covered with hemmed or pink rufies
of the same silk are very much worn,
and do not require an expert hand to
make them. Pretty capes, too, are
made with deep, square yoke of jetted
satin and wide knitted ruffies of black
chiffon or lace on the edge. Little os-
trich tips are used in the ruff OF the
neck. which is very full. and wider at
the back than IN 'front.' Rufles Of black
chiffon. covering taffeta foundation.
make a pretty wrap, with knots Of
hlacl, satin for finish. IN. X. Post.

IT WAS "ME TOO" coNkLINo.
Senator PIatt and Why He Resigned After
the Garfield Controversy.

the Garfield Controversy.
Mr.. Platt is much more Of peace
man than he is generally credited with
being. Chief Justice Goodrich of New
York tells me most interesting and
think hitherto unpublished story Of the
Garfield Conkling Platt episode It was
on Monday that Garfield sent to the
senate the nomination of Robertson to
be collector. The next day Mr.. Platt
went to New York. and Wednesday
morning told Mr.. Goodrich the story
which he now tells me.
When the nomination Of Robertson
reached the senate chamber Conkling
and Platt were talking together Ar
thur was in the chair, and when the
message was handed him by the veteran
Bassett he opened the envelope in a
nonchalant, matter of course way, never
dreaming that it contained the bit of
political dynamite which was to kill
Garfield, ruin the career of Conkling
and shorten his days and make himself
president and lead indirectly to his
early death.
When Arthur opened the envelope
and his eye alighted upon the fatal
words, he turned as pale as sheet. He
clinched the gavel convulsively, as if
he would use it as a weapon. Then he
beckoned to Conkling and Platt, and
they both walked up to the vice presi-
dents desk. Arthur handed them the
sheet of paper bearing Garfsld's sigma
ture Conkling looked at it. and an in
describably fierce expression came over
his face. Arthur was simply speechless
and now liyid with rage. Platt alone
met the most unexpected situation with
something like a calm and practical
view.
IT shall resign my seat in the sem
ate, said be.
Why do you say that?'' asked Arthur,
now recovering his speech.
Because this nomination means
war, replied Platt land because |
came here for peace and am physically
unable to go through such war as this
is going to be. 1t will kill me, and the
only way I can save my life is by re-
signing.
''Platt, " said Conkling, sit will be
fatal to my plans if you resign now.
Promise me you will withhold your
resignation for few weeks, and if you
are then of the same mind will resign
with you.
Platt agreed to this and the bargain
was made. Some weeks later Platt in
sisted upon resigning, and Conkling' s
resignation. he being the senior sena-
tor, was offered first. Platt told his
friend and counsel, Judge Goodrich, of
this agreement made at the vice presi-
dents desk in that dramatic moment
before the nomination was laid before
the senate, within 40 hours The story
told here is as Platt himself narrated it,
and it effectually disposes of the Me
too sneer under which Platt rested in
silence for many years. Walter Well
