me Locality of Disease.

In an interesting article on the areas
of disease the London Saturday Review
remarks upon the consensus of medical
opinion that diseases in general have
their local habitations-some, like trop-
zeal animals and plants, living only in
the tropics; some, like consumption.
gradually spreading over the whole
earth, while others, like leprosy and
smallpox, are by degrees becoming linn
tied in their distribution, possibly tend
ing, it may be, toward extinction. On
the other hand, however, there are re-
gions to which diseases have never
reached, for instance, on the SUBMITS of
high mountain ranges and in the cir
cumpolar snowfields the earth and air
and water are as barren of the microbes
of disease as they are of animal life
The writer in The Review admits that
in country like Britain, thickly popu-
lated for many centuries, and with the
freest circulation of population, it can
not be doubted that every yard of sur
face contains the germs Of the more
common diseases, and the native of
some newer land brought over to Brit
aims shores falls victim to it's plague
stricken soil, but by generations of a
destructive elimination Britons have
become highly resistant to their native
diseases, yet not fully SO, for cancer and
consumption, two of the most common
scourges, still hold powerful sway.

Rpnnish 1sarbaritx.

The deadly work at Manila was gen.
orally performed in the cool OF the
morning. That these events were fully
appreciated was shown by the presence
on the Lunetta of thousands of people.
Hundreds of fashionably dressed ladies
and gentlemen "graced" the occasion
with their presence. For the most part
these fashionables came in their equip
ages. These ladies would stand i'll their
vehicles, determined not to miss any
part of the CHASTITY show. The signal
from the commanding lieutenant that
the victims were dead was the signal
for these delighted lady spectators to
wave their handkerchiefs or parasols as
evidence of their satisfaction.
AS general thing these were fright
fully grewsome affairs. There was fir
ing squad of five for each unfortunate
This squad Of executioners would be
stationed about ten PAGES Immediately
to the rear of their human target. In
most instances the soldiers constituting
the firing squad were natives. They
were secretly in favor of the rebellion,
and no member of the squad cared to
fire the fatal shot. Consequently each
man would aim for the arm or leg.
This of course only added to the horror
of the affair.
There was one occasion when IS lead
ing members of the secret revolutionary
society, the Catapunan, were executed.
There was not single instance at this
execution where the unfortunate was
killed by the first volley. In MAORI
ty Of cases three or four volleys were
required, and in one instance five vol
legs were fired before the surgeon de-
clared the man dead The announcement
that all were dead was the signal for
music by the band-gay, triumphal
music. Review of Reviews

Purista and pedantn.

Many purists condemn such a phrase
as ''no sort or kind" OH the ground of
tautology. l should be sorry, however,
to see it disappear, because it is land
mark In English philology. 1t is relic
of the fusion of Saxon and Norman
French. At that period many phrases of
bilingual character crept into use, and
this is one of them. "Truth and honor
is another, truth being troth, " or hon
or, as in ''by my troth." "Voice" as
verb is much objected to, coming to us
moderns as it does from American
sources-e. g., to 'voico" the public
sentiment. l don't like it and never
use it, but it occurs in Shakespeare.
VIGOROUSLY many SO called Ameri-
canisms are old English provincialisms.
The purists threaten, indeed, to become
insufferable pedants. 1t is now the Gus
tom of the printers reader-our great
authority-to treat "none" as invari-
ably singular, contraction for no enc.
But it is useful as plural and is so
used in shakespeare. g., "Speak
daggers, but use none" Why may we
not continue to say, 81 spoke to no wo-
men at the meeting because there were
none present?"-Academy.

across his eyes, and there was silence
for the space Of minute.
During this speech his wife had stood
motionless, her eyes downcast. She was
very pale, but otherwise showed no
emotion. Presently he spoke again, but
his voice sounded husky and far away.
"Beauty," he cried, for my sake
pause in your mad career, or if not for
mine for Chappie's."
Surely that appeal would have touch
ed any mothers heart, but Beauty Dali
maine heard it unmoved She slowly
crossed to the door, and turning she
looked defiantly at her husband, and
her voice rang out with metallic clear
ness as she said:
ST have listened to you patiently.
Now am going to the play with Sir
Arthur Maynard And then she van
ished, and like one stunned her husband
remained vacantly gazing at the door
through which she had disappeared.
But Beauty Dalmaine did not go to
the play that night When she left the
library, she slowly assembled the stairs
with the intention of fetching fan
from her room. The servants were all
at supper, and the house was very still,
when suddenly small voice broke the
stiffness, "Chappie wants movah!' fol-
lowed by sound of sobbing
Beauty paused. The sobs continued,
and again the little voice called: "Chap-
pie wants movahl God send Chappie's
movah ~
Swiftly she flew down the passage
and entered the nursery. The little lad s
prayer had not been in vain. God had
heard it and used it as an instrument to
unlock the mothers heart. In few
short seconds Chappie was in his moth
er's arms. The costly satin dress was
forgotten, and freely her tears were
mingling with his own. For the first
time in his baby life he tasted the joys
of mothers love. Hitherto she had
only been beautiful, unapproachable
dream. Now she was living, loving
reality.
An hour later, with weary footsteps
and an aching heart, Travers Dalmaine
climbed the nursery stairs and on the
threshold beautiful picture gladdened
his sorrow laden eyes. By the cot Of
their sleeping child knelt Beauty Dali
maine, her lovely face illumined with
the light of the newborn mother love
and her hands clasped in prayer. Softly
her husband crossed the room and laid
his hand tenderly upon her head, while
she raised her dark eyes to his and
still knoeling said:
Travers, my husband, forgive me. ]
meant to go, but Chappie wanted me,
and when heard him say SO there sud
denly flashed on me the dark, loveless
future was making for my little SON
our little son. She corrected herself
softly, and then she was raised to her
feet, and pair of strong arms EMBODIED
her and her husbands deep tones assur-
ed her she was forgiven.
"For his sake Well start again, my
darling, y he added
"And for Chappie's fathers sake. "
she whispered, as her white arms stole
round his neck. And the little sleeper
moved, and they looked down to see a
radiant smile dawn ON his face and both
stopped and kissed him. Then hand in
hand they stole from the room. Lady.

THE CAR WAS SWITCHING.

But 1t Caused the Despair of 8 Sleepy
Lecturer In Search of Rest.
''I have long made it a practice to
sleep whenever get an opportunity, Z"
said a man who lectures, "but recent
experience in Baltimore has made me
shy of opportunities You see, / spend q
great deal of time on railroad trains,
and frequently, in order to keep engage

bought section, hunted up the porter
and asked him if l might retire with
the expectation of not being aroused be-
fore morning.
'''That's what the car is here for,
colonel. he answered. we don't pull
out till 80 in the morning, and you
can just go right to sleep
"That sounded inviting, and retir-
ed. fell asleep promptly. The move
ment of the car aroused me. and, think
ing that we had been coupled on to the
New York train, 1 closed my eyes again.
At that moment the Car ran into some
thing ON the track with a crash and
stopped SO suddenly that my head was
bumped against the end of the berth.
Undoubtedly smash up, thought, and
I proceeded to get out of my berth. The
porter was sitting in the seat opposite.
"'For heavens sake, what is the
trouble?' asked
Nothin, he replied; Just switch
in.
"Baok crawled, feeling very cheap.
Again felt drowsy, and once more the
car was bumped violently, then showed
along the tracks at rapid rate and
shunted into the end of another train,
starting a series of crashes that sounded
one after another clear away up the
track. The quiet that followed lasted so
long that l began to doze. Another
bump harder than the previous ones
aroused me, and for the next five min
utes it seemed as if two engines must be
engaged in shunting my car back and
forth for the fun of it. I would feel the
car slide along only to come to an abrupt
stop with lot of noise. Then it would
slide back to another track and stand
still. For the next hour was tossed
and bruised in my berth, and could
stand it no longer. crawled out and
dressed as best I could under the cir
oumstances, made flying jump from
the car on one of its shunting trips past
the station and went to a hotel and
spent the night. The memory of that
experience has made me cautious about
entering sleeping cars that are loating
around the yard waiting to be coupled
to train, even if it does seem to offer
an opportunity to make up sleep The
amount of shaking up that one man re-
oeives in a car that is just switchin' is
surprising. New York Sun.

rHE STEAMERS CHIMNEY.
Some Details of Interest Regarding Its
Construction and Use.


Construction and Use.
The stroller along the wharfs who
should see rising from the smokestaok
Of big steamer a small and at the start
perfectly defined column of smoke which
seemed to come from small smoke
pipe within the big one might wonder
if the great smokestack was filled with
smaller stacks, one for each boiler. AS
matter of fact it is not so filled, but
there is within it a smaller smoke pipe
called the donkey stack, which is the
chimney for the boiler of the donkey en-
CINE, which is used when the vessel is
in port in hosting cargo in and out 1t
is from this pipe that the small column
Of smoke is seen to issue.
The donkey stack is placed sometimes
against the forward inner side of the big
stack, sometimes against the after inner
side. 1t may be a complete pipe, or it
may be formed of iron in the shape of
half pipe, with flanges riveted to the
main pipe.
If single one of the large boilers
were used, as it might be when the ship
is in port it might be connected with
bu0 uOukey SGdCk, Dub III b0elr regular
and common arrangement and use the
uptakes of all these boilers run into the
great chimney, whose whole interior is
open, except for the braces running
across it to strengthen and support it.
The chimneys of all large steamships,
however, aud of many other steam YES
sells as well are built double, with an
inner and an outer shell, with space
between varying according to the size
of the vessel 1t may be from five to ten
inches. The primary purpose of this
chamber around the smokestack is to
afford ventilation for the engine room
and the stokehole In at least one mod
ern passenger ship ventilating pipes
from the passenger quarters have been
carried to these chambers. Incidentally
the space between the shells helps to
keep the stack slightly, for thus con-
structed the chimney is cooler ON the
outside than it would otherwise be, and
so it holds paint the better. New York
