BOTH RIDES AND WALKS.
How One Man Keeps a Promise He
rlade to His Wife.

There is a man who comes down
town every day on the Illinois Central
suburban train who, as soon as he gets
upon the train, begins to pace up and
down the aisle of the car. No matter
how much room there may be for him
to sit, he invariably remains on his feet
and walks up and down the car from
his entrance at Thirty ninth street
station until Van Buren street is reach
ed. His conduct is a source of much
mystery to the passengers who travel
on the train at about the same time of
day that he does, and it proyokes fire.
quent comment
The other day one of them who had
some acquaintance with the walker
asked the reason for his long walks on
board the train. When pressed for the
reason of his strange conduct the man
said:
My wife has an idea that I am in
bad health; am not. She has physi-
clan who is a great believer in exercise,
and who. when | saw him in her pres
ence, declared that / would soon be
cured if / would make it a habit to
walk down town from office each day
Now am usually pressed for time, and
do not care for such long walk. AT
the same time / promised my wife that
| | would walk all the way down town
each day. l am determined to keep my
promise, and so | get on the car and
| ride, but at the same time, as you no.
| tice, I walk all the way down town
Don't I?"-Chicago Times Herald.

tack in the cases he observes in this
connection. He has even seen 1T occur
in a maFarial patient without any rise
of temperature, and thus denote an
abortive attack. Having observed it's
absence ait the beginning of an IN
tense attack of fever, with initial chill
in a malarial patient, he felt justified in
declaring that the case was one of ma
larIa, and the outcome showed that 1t
was an acute attack of pneunarma,
which very soon made itself evident
by its usual objective signs. Finally
in a mralaral patient suffering from
cyst3ts and presenting attacks of fever
Of an intermittent form, during which
the slate coiored tinge showed itself,
NJ Boisson, thanks to this symptom
was able to attribute the fever. not to-
urinary infection, but to malaria, and
both fever and cystitis yielded to the
administration of quinine.
From this 1t will have been seen that
this ooloIation of the nails will be Of
great help in many cases of Difficult
diagnosis fn nalar'fal regions, and M.
Boisson deserves credit for having call
ed to it the attention of his confreres.
Many persons have at more or less
frequent intervals, an attack of erysip-
elias, and, so hong as physicians were
not aware that this complaint was
general infection due 10 the action of
a characteristic gern-the sbreptococ-
cus-they We're greatly embarrassed TO
explain these occurrences.
To-day, however thanks ito the pro-
gress in bacteriology, it Is known that
recurrent erysipelas must be ascribed
to an auto-infection, caused by these
microbes, which have remained in the
interstlces of the skin after a first at
tack of erysipelas, especially in the
neighborhood of the natural orifices of
the body, such as the ears, nose or
mouth.
At the first Favorable occasion, after
even a trifiing scratch or abrasion of
the skin, the stTeptoc0cci, which have
UP to that time remained latent, begin
to Show themselves again; the proof OF
this is that the first patch OF the re-
currence always appears in the neigh
barhood of one of these orifices, where
the skin is so readily broken.
The consequence Is that disinfection
is as imperative in a patient recovering
from erysipelas as is the treatment OF
the attack itself, and to accomplish this
end lavish use should be made of anti
septic lotions and baths; the nose and
ears should be washed out with So
lution of sublirnate one per Thousand
with five grammes or tartadfc acid per
litre
AS the disinfectang power Of subE-
mate is quintupled py the use of tar
taric acid, the amount of sublimate per
litra can be reduced to fifty or thirty
centigram1nes. By this process OF
cleansing the natural cavities the risk
of d recurrence of the complaint Is re-
duced as far as can be done.-Europea

LIGHTING AND HEATING.
Miss Parloa Cautions Her Hearers
Against Defective Ventilation.

Miss Parloa prefaced one of her late
/ lectures on Domestic Economy" yes
terday afternoon, at the Young Wom-
ans Christian Association. East Fiji
teenth street, with a resume of that
part of her preceding lecture which
dealt with the removal of stains and
the restoring of color to woodwork.
Specimens of the various woods, with
explicit directions for the staining and
restoring, finished an object lesson.
The important subjects of Fuels, ;"
THE Economic Management of Fires -
Lighting and Ventilation" We're dealt
with scientifically as well as practi-
cally.
Special stress was laid upon the ne
cessity of house being we'll ventilated.
In renting a house." said Miss Par
loa, see to it that the cold-air box
opens where the air is pure, otherwise
the house will be filled with poisonous
gases all the time. All the main part
OF the house should be thrown to-
gether as much as possible, thus keep
ing an equal temperature all over it,
and insuring a free circulation of air.
If there be a window in the upper hall
which can be kept slightly open, it
will help to keep the air of the house
pure. The hot air from the furnace
increases the available fresh air If
the house is heated by steam or water
this supply of pure air is lacking and
the deficit must be made up some other
way.
AN excellent plan for bedroom VEN
tilation is the use of a piece of board
two or three inches wide and as long
as the window is broad, placed under
the lower sash. This insures a good
circulation without direct draught
A room where the air Is pure is much
warmer at temperature of 90 degrees
than close one kept at much high
er temperature"
To the query, What do you consider
the best temperature at which to keep
room?' Miss Parloa answered: Six
ty-eight degrees or 20 degrees-nevar
above that"
Questioned as to a test for the purity
Of the air, she suggested that vessel
holding lime water would absorb inl
purities and turn milky if the air was
bad.
On the matter of lighting. Miss Par
loa emphasized the necessity of caring
for the eyes. A student lamp was al
most a necessity when ones occupq-
tion involved using the eyes in the
evening She said: "Gasburners should
be frequently cleaned and renewed
when they do not work well. A loose
key, that does not indicate when the
gas Is turned off or on should not be
endured fer one day. When there is a
whistling sound from the burning gas,
it indicates that unconsumed gas is es-
Gaping through the burners.
When rubber tubing is used in a
droplight, always lower the light by
turning eff the gas at the pipe that
supplies the tubing. The rubber tub
ing should be frequently removed from
the lamp and pipe and be hung in the
open air."

An Equal Standard of Morals.

Il believe absolutely in an equal
standard OF morals for men and wo-
men," writes Edward w. Box in the
Ladies Home Journal, replying TO an
inquirer. Nor is this an ideal condi-
ton because 1t does not now exist. 1t
is not at all unlikely that such equality
will be the standard of the future. At
all events. for yourself live a pure life,
so that you may be able to look every
woman in the world in the face and
have the greatest satisfaction that can
come to man: that when you marry
you can give to the girl OF your heart
what you expect that she will bring to
you: moral purity. 1t is the most solid
of all foundation stones on which a
man and a woman can begin a life of
perfect understanding and happiness" !"
The same Identical thought, / sup
pose, goes round in slow whirl from
one generation TO another. as I have
seen a withered leaf in the vortex of a
brook.

ME AND HOMER.

When Homer smotc his tuneful Tyre
Things were just as they are to-day;
His breast burned with poetic fire,
But he was hungry, so they say.
He twanged with all the might he had,
And people rather liked his song,
But when he asked for meat they bade
Him take his Tyre and trudge along.
And so the poor old codger oft,
| fancy sat beside the road.
And at the prosy public scoffed,
And chafed beneath his heavy load.

five per cent of the Taxpayers are in
favor of city ownership, as various
petitions have alleged, why not wait
two or three months until we are or
ganized as city of the second class
and then call the election under the
old law? The validity of the old law
is not questioned, and bonds issued
under it would certainly be easier to
sell than those issued under the Han
pa act. Why take any chances of
litigation? If the sentiment for city
ownership is so nearly unanimous as
has been claimed it would certainly
be an easy matter to get a petition of
three-fifths of the taxpayers to call
an election, and a majority of two
thirds of the voters to carry it. Why
take any chances under law of
doubtful validity when we can have
everything on an absolutely solid
foundation by waiting few weeks?

WILL WHITES GREAT PIECE.

Since we have been publishing some
of Will Whites speeches a number
of our readers have asked where they
could get copy Of the one piece that
first brought him into national notice.
These inquiries have been numerous
enough to suggest the thought that
perhaps the publication of What's
the Matter With Kansas ?n would be
read by those who never saw it be-
fore, and re-read by those who have
seen it, with considerable interest.
We therefore make room for it on an
other page and commend it to all who
enjoy well done roast. 1t was this
piece that made White famous for it
was taken up by the Republican
National Committee and printed as a
campaign document by the hundred
thousand and it was printed by
very large percentage of the Repuoli-
can papers in the United States.
Hunt it up and read it.

LIFE OF WASHINGTON.

The REGISTER began last week the
publication of a biography of Wash
ington which will run through sever
al numbers and will take the place of
the continued story" which has been
a feature of the paper for great
many years. We have no objection
to stories, provided they are good
ones, land we have always tried to
supply our readers with that kind, J
but it occurred to US that our readers
might like a little change, and we
hope they will be entertained as well
as instructed by this new narrative of
the life of the Father of their country
The writer of it is an accomplished
author and he has gathered a vast
amount of new material, especially
in the way of details that shed light
on the personal side of Westinghouse
character and career, which cannot
fail to make the story almost as enter
tanning as any fiction. The work is
richly illustrated, reproduction be-
ing given of every portrait of Wash
ington that is known to be in exist
ence, and this feature alone will add
greatly to the value OF the history.
We believe that every one who reads
this narrative will agree when he
reaches the end that it has been
worth the price of the paper to him.

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

The personal views OF the mayor
and councilmen on that question can
not in any way help or hinder the city
ownership of the gas plant. Under
the Hanna law whenever two-fifths of
the taxpayers shall petition for an
election to vote bonds for that purpose,
the city officials are compelled to
order the election, no matter how
much they may be opposed to it, and
until such petition is presented to
them they cannot call the election no
matter how much they may be in
favor of it.
For these reasons it seemed to US
that the question of city ownership
was improperly and needlessIy forced
into the Republican primary last
Tuesday. The only question properly
at issue in that primary was the
question of the growth and progress
of lola, and the voters should have
had no other concern but to select the
men who, in their Judgment, would
do the most to promote harmony and
combine all classes of citizens in a
supreme and persistent effort to in
duce the investment of capital and
the location here of industries that
would bring employment to our labor
eli and trade to our merchants.
And while there is no doubt that
the majority of those who voted dis
agreed with this view, and were in
fluenced in their vote solely by their
wish for city ownership, yet we still
insist that the paramount duty of the
mayor and council who are to be
elected the 5th of April will be to do
everything in their power to advance
the material interests of the city.
A mayor and council pledged to
city ownership can rightfully and
lawfully do absolutely nothing to
promote city ownership which a
mayor and council opposed utterly
to that policy would not be oblig-
ed to do, and hence they Will be
judged by the efforts they make to
promote good feeling, to cooperate
heartily with those who have been for |
months and who are now bending
every energy to secure the location of
industrial enterprises, and to advance
in every possible way the busi-
ness interests of the town. If the |
people decide, after a free and full |
to buy the gas plant, we'll
and good. But in the meantime and |
all the time we must not forget that
the opportunity of our life is now be-
fore us to make a city here. Let the
battle for city ownership be fought
out as quietly and good naturally as
possible, but meanwhile let the rival |
~ between those who favor it and |
those who oppose be to see which can
pull the harder for the town.
With the assurance to the gentle
men who were nominated Tuesday
that while we disagree with them on
this one question we will be with
them heart and soul in every effort
they may make to build up lola, the
REGISTER puts up the Republican
ticket and wishes the men who COM
pose it successful administration.

THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.

Tuesday afternoon was all kinds of
a day, wind and snow and sunshine,
but nevertheless 1856 voters managed
to get to the Republican primary be-
tween the hours of 2 and 7:30. If
every body who votes at our Republi-
can city primaries would vote the
Republican ticket at the general cleo
tions the Republican majority in
Allen county would be materially in
creased. But that is another story.
The primary was organized by the
election of Misses Nellie Shelter and
Bula Reimert as clerks and Messrs
Bert Mitchell, Frank Travis and s.
M. Jennings as judges. r. B. Stew
enson, w. H. Ling aud Schuyler
Brewster were elected as city COM
mittee for the ensuing year. The
voting then began and proceeded
without any unusual incident, but
with great deal of interest as shown
by the heavy vote cast. In order that
the returns be understood it should
be stated that i'm each of the four
wards candidate for councilman had
been nominated by petition, only the
one name from each ward appeared
on the ticket. There was great
many scattering votes, but discarding
them the returns are as follows:
