DIR. sHAKEsPEARE's DISTINCTION

DIR. SIIAglESPEARE'S DISTINCTION
Dr. &c. o. Shakespeare, OF Philadel-
phia. is a Delaware man. He was born
in Kent county, and any distinction
which comes to him is quite naturally
appreciated by Delawareans. last
week a commission was issued to him
from the War Department creating
him brigade surgeon with the rank OF
major. He has been assigned to duty as
member OF the General Board OF
Sanitation, whose duty it shall be to
inspect the various army camps as to
their sanitary condition, SO as prompt
ly to remedy any sanitary defects found
TO exist. DR. Shakespeare will retain
his connection with the National Re
lief Commission, in which he is a mem
ber of the executive committee and
chairman OF the committee on santa
ton.
In 1885 President Cleveland commits
stoned DR.. Shakespeare to visit India
and Europe and make special investi-
cation as to the origin, cause and treat
ment of cholera. DR. Shakespeare Wis
tied the infected localities and after
ward made a special report TO Presi-
dent Cleveland, which has become the
recognized authority upon the subject
Of cholera. He also, at the request oi
the citizens permanent relief commit.
tee, OF Philadelphia, visited Plymouth
in 1884 and worked out and demon.
strated the nature and origin OF the Sc
we're epidemic OF typhoid fever which
prevailed in that locality. In 1894 h

tative to the International Congress
which was held in Paris, relative u
cholera and it's transmission by water
ways. DR.. Shakespeare is a member o
the American Medical Association. tn
College of Physicians, and has beel

No matter what the requirements 0
the government may be, Delaware ha
always had distinguished sons read
and willing to fill the responsible pc
sitions at the country's call.

THE MAN IN HIS HOME.
The Husband and Father Strikes the
Keynote for Right or Wrong
Lying.

The seclusion of home gives to a
man a certain freedom and attendant
privileges which no other place in the
world affords, and it is right that It
should. But it is not right that this
freedom and those privileges should be
abused to the disadvantage of the wife.
Too many men seem to have the idea
that they can drop into constant dis
consolate and churlish moods at home
with their wives which in any other
place and by any other person would
not be tolerated. 1t is when a man
is within the walls of his home that
he is himself. Then it is that he should
Ibe at his best. When q man gives the
best that is within him to those
closest to him, his home will be the
ideal place that he wishes it to be.
No man has q right to expect from his
wife what he on his part does not give
her. If he wants her sympathy he
must give her his consideration. If a
man lacks the element of considera-
;tion he should cultivate it, and cult
vate it not Tor the benefit of his friends
but for those in and of his home. Con-
lsideration should begin at home; not
in the homes of friends, as it so often
does-and ends there, too. The atmos-
phere which a man creates in his home
by example becomes the rule by which
his children live. The husband and IA
'ther strikes the keynote for right OF
wrong living.-Edward w. Box, in
Ladies' Home Journal.

An amusing story is told in connec-

on the line Of the Illinois Central Rail
road bet wecn representatives of MisSis-
sippi and Louisiana boards of health,
while The f1ver was running high. TWO
trains bearing the officials OF both States
met at lonely sidetFack, and the Mis-
sissippia ms informed the Louisian mans tina {
the conference must be held at dista nee
of sixty feet This was agreed TO, and
the pa riley proceeded, the distance between
the pa rites being strictly observed. In the
course OF the talk on health matters, which
is rather dry subject, some one on the
louisa ma side produceda bottle OF whisky,
took a swig and passed. it to his cOmra des,
who repea te 4 the operation. The Mississip-
pianssa w W Ia was going on, smacked their
lips and boldly advanced ten feet. Once
more the boz lie pa ssed from louisiana n TO
sissippians could stand and they pushed
their line forward twenty more feet,
faItered. and then cha Teed with a whoop.
In less time than it takes to tell it,, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana Were clasped in

preciating the formers capacity, pro-
duced several bottles, and nobody thought

able to suppress. At one time when they
were in exceptionally bad cdor, rival or

Germany RetaliateS

The decree which Germany has issued
prohibiting the importation of American
fruits is merely O retaliation, having in
mind the recent American tariff legis-
lation imposing a discriminating duty on
German bounty-paid sugar. There is lii.
tie or no foIndation for the assertion tina {
our fruits shipped abroad are unsanitary.
The consular reports of the United States
show that Imported fruits have found great
favor in German cities, and the reports
and testimony of those who have drank
Heurich's Maerzen beer, is that it is
far superior In all its qualities to that
imported 20 this country. 1t is an ac-
knowletlged act, whoever drinks Heurich's

local police, but the magistrate disc Ia rged
them. Then the government took a
