The narcotic effect Of government
employment Is notorious, says the
Chicago Journal, but as in other cases
the victim Of the sedative habit does
not believe and can not realize its
power until too late. There is a GER
tain fascination to the old and hard
ened to watch the young struggle
against their fate. The same sensa-
lions may be secured by observing the
operations of a sheet Of fly paper. The
victim is foot loose' and is looking
around for a favorable opening. In
the meantime, it seems desirable to
have some temporary lodgment-
standing room, as it were-until the
delayed opening appears. So the fly
steps into the soft government stick
and it is only when he feels his feet
sinking that he desires to quit. But

As secretary Of the civil service COM

to observe the number of government
employees who leave the service for

but after a year or so he resigned. He
had saved money and was going to

RAN AWAY FROM HOME.
And Found a Brother Whom He Had
Never Seen. '

Aud Found a Brother Whom He Had
Never Seen. ,
Chicago Inter Ocean: Charles Ray
mcnd, Is years old, was the guest OF
honor at an informal banquet held at
the Palmer house the other evening,
given by a brother whom he had never
seen until that day. The boy ran
away from the home of his brother-in-
law, Rev. William Wright, a Method
list minister of Muskegon, Mich, be-
cause he could not by reason of his rel
ative's itinerant habits gain the educa-
ton to which he thought he was en-
titled. When he had purchased his
ticket by boat to Chicago the lad had
SO cents left, which he spent the first
day after his arrival. Rev. Mr.. Wright
came to Chicago in search of the boy,
and notified the police, but no trace of
Charlie could be found. Meantime the
Id, after passing t%wenty-four hungry
hours, had secured employment in a
Clark street cigar store. He knew that
his. brother David, who had run away
from their home in Trenton, Ont, sew
enteen years ago, was a travelling
salesman for an eastern jewelry con
Germ. and that he made his home in
Elgin, and thither he sent a letter. AL
though David Raymond had never
seen his younger brother, the boy hav-
ing been in Michigan on the occasion
of his last visit to Trenton, he imme-
diately sought out the boy at his place
of employment, and Charley trans
ferred his quarters from a cheap
lodging house to the Palmer house.
David Raymond invited a score of
friends to his room to see the night
parade, and incidentally to toast the
future of his adventurous relative.

Linen Lockers Aboard Ship.

There are no laundries on board
ship; they take up too much room. So
the chief steward lays in thousands OF
pillow slips, sheets and towels. These
come on board tied up in bales Of a
dozen each, and are stored in the linen
locker, a cubby-hole of a place on the
main deck; the ventilator pipes from
the engine-room run through it and
keep it hot. There is no danger Of
linen getting widowed there. The
linen which has been used is thrown
into another room provided with the
same atmosphere, and is kept thor
oinghly dry. Where there are clean
napkins every day, frequent changes
Of stateroom linen and an everlasting
replenishing Of towel racks, the > de-
mands upon the linen locker are very
extensive.

structive that not IA person left the
room who was not compelled to until
the session closed at 5:45.
Prior to taking up the regular pro-
gramnle. the membership committee re-
ported favorably on the applications of
Drs. c. T. Crody of Lehi, Henry Y.
I Cassidy of Mt. Pleasant and w. <.
Croxall of this city. These three were
unanimously elected, and the reading of
papers was taken Up and continued up
to 5:45. when an adjournment was Ia
ken till $3.50 this morning.
Dr.. a. S. Bower led off with a paper
on the 'Teething Period of Infancy,
which was listened to with marked at
tention. The teething period, the doc
tor said, usually lasted about seven
teen months. and the greatest mortal
ity usually resulted in the first month;
then there was Il lull of a month, when
the second highest period of mortality
commenced and lasted a month. while
the third highest mortality period was
between the seventh and eighth
months. In the twelfth month the death
rate dropped to the minimum. The
most common disease in teething was
diarrhoea, which is usually due to diet,
though an extra amount of saliva acted
as a saline apperient, which was per-
haps best for the infant. as slight
diarrhoea is better at this period than
constipation and helps to lessen the
danger from brain trouble.
Next in frequency, perhaps, was

to high authority. generally affected
teething TO a greater or less degree. He
attributed it TO the saliva running down

applause.
Drs. Niles and Bascon4's papers were
discussed at some length and many of
the members took part.
DR.. e. S. Wright then read a valuable
paper on Secondary Cystitis in the
Female, but as those named to open
the discussion on the subject were not
present, it went over.
Dr.. Silver Talks.
DIR. e. V. Silver handled the subject
of 'tAuto-intoxication. which con-
sisted, he said of a poisoning of the
human organism-a daily storage of
noxieus substances-in. a highly scien-
tific and technical manner, his language
being so full of medical phrases and
terms that to all but we'll posted men,
befs of the profession it would appear
meaningless
The doctor was listened to with pro-
found attention and was greeted with
enthusiastic applause the moment he
finished.
Dr.. Ewing On Typhoid.
DR.. A. C. Ewing read a paper on
Typhoid Fever" but the subject and
it's handling by him lost some of its
charm, on account of the doctors hav-
ing to leave just as discussion upon his
paper began. He described the typhoid
bacillus, which he said lived in ice,
running water and milk the disease
was not contagious but infectious
Polluted water was the greatest source
of the disease. When sewer pipes are
being extended typhoid is more preva-
lent. Many germs were undoubtedly
passed through the body without the
disease being contracted.
1t was seldom found in children under
years of age. He treated of the sym
ptoms and said early in the disease the
symptoms were only sufficient, usually,
to give a suspicion of what was TO
come. His method Of treatment would
be, first anti-seutic drugs; second,
watch symptoms as they APP
pear; third, care, and then the
giving of cooling baths by first
putting the patient in warm water and
gradually reducing the temperature.
