ence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had dysentery in

Of the very best medicines we ever had

A Chair of uncleism Needed.

Unclehood is about the hardest hood
man has to wear,and, as 1 have obsery-
ed uncles and their habits, they either
spoil or repel the small chaps and chap
posses who happen to be made their
nephews and nieces by an accident Of
birth. Uncles are either intensely
genial or intensely irritable, and as Ear
as l am concerned it is my belief that
our colleges should include in their car
riculum chair Of "uncleism."
Unclehood is relationship that man
has to accept. 1t is thrust upon him.
He can't help himself. To be father
or a mother is matter Of volition. But
even in a free country like our own, if
a man has q brother or a sister, he is
liable to find himself an uncle at any
time whether he wishes to be one or
not. Then when it happens he's got to
reason out course Of procedure with.
out any basis in previous experience

OLD SOILS RIDE I'M 1879
Flowery Weather Predictions of the
.JournoIiS<S nc Jn,,r Aro

FlOwery Weather Predictions of the
Journalists of Long Ago.
In these days of practical newspa-
per writing, in which bald facts are
expressed in the plainest and tersest
form, the fowery language INDUCED
in by some Of the Journalists" half a
century ago sounds peculiar. The
following poetic CONFUSION was copied
by one of the local papers from the
New York Tribune in 1S49 as worthy
Of high place in the newspaper lit
erature of the day:
con Saturday evening at II minutes
past II o'clock the sun rode calmly
and mildly over the autumnal equinox
and cast his golden anchor on the win
try coast Of autumn. But as yet the
vast ocean Of air through which he
sails is glowing and transparent with
the memory of the long summer days
that have passed over it, darting their
rich beams to its very depths. Even
as we write, however, the remem-
brance fades, like the sky's blanching
souvenirs of sunset, and in the dis
lance the cold ghosts Of winter glare
and wave their frozen wings, which
creak on icy hinges, while in the 81
lence Of midnight a prophetic voice of
wailing and desolation means fitfully
at the easement"
Few people can contemplate this
specimen of literary architecture with
out experiencing a feeling Of awe and
sadness, with few cold shivers on
the side. 1t is proof positive that the
profession has in some things gained
by what it has lost.-Albany Argus.

at Liverpool that malaria was not so
dramatic disease as cholera; it did
not kill SO quickly, but it killed far
more people. In India it killed about
