Terrible Results Of Christia n
Science Methods at Pittsburg.
DIPHTHERIA'S RAVAGES
TWO CHILDREN DEAD, THIRD
CHILD AND FATHER ILL
Claiming That the Case Was In the
Hands Of the Lord They Refused
to Give Medicine When Ordered
By Health Board to Do So-Phy-
scians Barred Out.

Pittsburg. Pa. Jan 7.-Diphtheria
ard Christian Science have had a bitter
battle in a New Brighton family for
the past two weeks. Diphtheria has
won so far Two children are dead,
while a third child and the father are
dangerously i'll with the same disease.
Frank Martzolf and his wife have
been believers in Christian Science for
three years, and so confirmed in the
doctrine are they that they have seen
their two little ones die of malignant
diphtheria and were willing to see their
remaining child suffer rather than take
her case 'Out of the hands of the
Lord" Not until forced to do SO by
the health authorities, would the par
ents permit a physician in the house.
even then the father refused to give
the medicine prescribed and the health
officials were compelled TO take the
family in charge.
Coroner's Discovery.
When the first child, Nancy, died,
Martzlof called on an undertaken to
bury her. When asked for a certificate
of death ne said there was none, and
Coroner Taylor began an investigation.
He found the second child Roy, in the
last stages Of the disease and Ordersd
DR.. Boyd to treat him.
The father refused to give the boy
the medicine and he died a few hours
later. The health officials are now in
charge and may be able to save the
third child and the father, both of
whom are down with the disease.
Weaver valley people are very much
wrought up over the matter and it is
likely that Christian Science, with its
prominent leaders in New Brighton
viii be investigated by the courts.

From Ainslees Magazine. South Af- rica exports hides, wool and mohair. and the ranchman would revel in riches we're 1t not for the various pests that deeiuate his flocks and herds
 The most deadly one is the rinderpest, cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa southward, leaving a wake of Whitened bones. Tn travelling through Natal I saw fifty oxen lying dea6 about a spring, so suddenly had the o.sease attacked them. It was all most impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at restaurant, though the proprietor resented any such charge, and plethoric German travel er who called out in loud tone for roast -inderpest" in the railroad cafe st De Aar Junction, Cape Colony, had to be picked up in fragments. Dr. Koch and other eminent specialists tried to stop this plague. The country is now recovering from it slowly. Another pest is the tsetse fly, an insect resembling our common house fly, but tli4CG ll44SS ld1 Ilo DllC Nl4l hAl horse, COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but, strange 10 say, does not affect a wild animal or human being. A less dangerous, but more troublesome, pest is the white ant, which is about one-quarter of an inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen, which sometimes reaches tke size of one inch in length
 This insect is particularly harassing in Rhodesia. At Buluwayo my travelling companion inadvertently left his boots on the floor after turning in at night, and he arose next morning to find the uppers carefully separated from the toles. Lucky you didn'; leave your clothes on the foer.'' was the hotel- keepers only consolation. These ants will eat through anything but metal. and for that reason much of the build ing Is done with corrugated iron.

 Do you see that woman going out?'' said the man in the dry goods house whose business k is to make things "asi right with dissatisfied customers She's only one of 'em. I have a score 0r more every day. She's kicking about q dress, We've altered it twic and she still thinks it doesn't quite 1t her In the back. It's hard job to look pleasant and be perennially agreeable, and I never knew but one man whe could do it. He was the complaint man in big store-a friend of mine -and he held the place for twenty years. He never failed to say the right thing and was the most perfect jolly that ever was. He knew how to con- pliment woman as to form and com- plexion in a way that never was equal ed. His smile was the envy Of all the saiesmeD in the place. 1t had a win- hing sweetness about it that was sim- ply irresistible and never failed to van quish the most desperate kicker. One day an uncle of my friend died and left him 10000. A few moments after the news reached my friend an old pa- tron of the store came ina woman who for years had been noted as kicker, but whom 1t had been my friends duty and pleasure to make sat- gsded with her purchases. She had bonnet in her hand and was kicking about the shape, the trimmings and everything in a way that was calcu- lated to carry terror to the stontest seart. So,' said my friend, you don't like this bonnet You don't like any thing about it. Well, I don't blame you. It don't suit you in any way, and It can't be made to suit you Of course 1t can't. And there's no bonnet on earth that can be made to suit such a pig-faced, disagreeable woman as you are, anyway. He had repressed his natural feeling for twenty years, but the worm that had been trodden upon through two decades turned at last He then put on his hat. and the place that had known him so long knew him no more forever. ."-Ex.
