DIPHTHERIA AND CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
TWO CHILDREN DEAD WITHOUT MEDICAL TREAT
MENr-rATHER REFUSES TO GIVE MEDICINE.

TWO CHILDREN DEAD WITHOUT MEDICAL TREAT
MENT-FATHER REFUSES TO GIVE MEDICINE.
Pittsburg Jan. 1.-THE Dispatch tomorrow will
say that diphtheria and Christian Science have
had bitter battle in a New-Brighton family for
the last 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 dis
ease.
Frank Martsolf and his wife have been believers
in Christian Science for three years, and
frmed in the doctrine they that they have seen
their two little ones die of malignant diphthera
and were willing TO see their remaining child per-
ish rather than take her case "out of the hands
of the Lord"
Not until forced to do by the health authori-
ties would the parents 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. When the
first child Nancy died MartsOlf called an un-
dertaker to bury her When asked for the certif-
cate of death he said there was none, and Coroner
Taylor began an investigation. He found the sec
ond child. Roy. in the last stages of the disease
and ordered DR.. Boyd to treat him. The father
died q 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.
Beaver Valley people much wrought up over
the matter and 1t is likely that Christian Science
with its prominent leaders in New-B Brighton, VIII
be investigated by the courts.

WHY BRYAN SHOULDN'T BE RENoMINATED

FURTHER REASONS SET FORTH BY THE EDITOR
OF THE CHICAGO DEMOCRATIC MAGAZINE"
Chicago jan Z (speciaD.-w. G. McComas. Ed
itor Of THE Weekly Democratic Magazine" came
out yesterday with another signed article explain
ing why W. J. Bryan should not be renominated-
The article argues that Mr.. Bryan stands
plank platform -silver-and that his issue is dead
issue The action of Democrats in many States is
cited to prove this. Maryland. where Organism
and the Chicago platform eliminated last fall,
is referred to conspicuous example. 1t is taken
for granted that trusts, Imperialism and
Will be the issues this year, and that Mr.. Bryan,
without his old one-plank platform, is weaker than
another would be, because he has been once de-
feated The article touches the local situation
thus:
The very who will be Mr.. Bryans hosts
this evening at the Bryan League banquet adopted
the same policy the Maryland Democrats dur
ing the stirring campaign in Chicago last spring,
which closed with the election of Carter H. Har-
rison Mayor. What guarantee has Mr.. Bryan
that his friends of the fesal board entertain better
feelings toward himself than toward the issue
he rely to retain their loyalty to himself person
ally, after they have abandoned that which he
has placed above self? Or, will Mr.. Bryan
amend his political creed to make it acceptable to
the anti-Chicago platform Democrats of Chicago?
A comparison of Mr. Bryan's speech tonight with
his address of three years ago will answer this
question.

CLEMSON MAKES AN EXPERIMENT.
Clemson college has just issued a bull
letin on the comparative draught OF
broad and narrow tires. The bulletin
includes a summary of tests made in
other states, and a detailed statement
of a special test made under the direct
supervision of Clemson in sandy roads.
The tests made in other states include
all manner of roads and the general
result under most conditions shows
that broad tires are of lighter draught.
The following is from the special test
made by Clemson:
"In making the test set of metallic
wheels of standard height and having
six inch tires was used. The narrow
tired wheels were of the same height
with II inch tires. The load was the
same in both cases, viz: 1000 pounds
net. The dynamometer used by the
Missouri Experiment Station was Dor-
rowed for the testing draft.
"The tests were made on very san.
dy piece of road about one and one
half miles from Denmark, 5. c. There
was no clay nearer than two feet of
the surface, and the loose sand was
worked up by travel TO the depth OF
about eight inches. There are only
two conditions TO be found on road
like this, namely, wet and dry. So
two sets of tests were made one while
the road was dry and one while it was
wet.
"In all conditions of sand roads the
draft of the broad tire was from 7.49

HIS OPINION OF THE SICK MAN.
A certain Memphian and his wife are
in the habit occasionally of going
out at night to entertainments and
social affairs, and at such times they
make themselves solid with their little
boy by saying that they are going out
to see sick man.
One week these social affairs came
pretty frequently. On Monday night
they went to the theatre and told the
lad they had to sit up with sick
man. Tuesday night they went out
to visit a neighbor and explained that
they were going to give some medicine
to the man that was sick. On Wed
nesday nj hit they proposed to attend
an entertainment and apoligized to the
young chap by saying that they had
to put a plaster on the sick mans
back to draw out the pain.
"Papa," asked the youth, "is the
sick man in much pain ?"
every much, my son."
"And is he pretty near dead ?"
ayes; he's in a bad shape"
The lad thought deeply for while
and then remarked:

"GoING TO BED" ETIQUETTE.-1t
is always debatable point of etiquette
whether hostess or guest make first
movement to 60 to bed, and thus break
up the evening gathering. The guest
may be overcome with fatigue from a
days journey, the host may be fidget-
ing under the strain of entertaining.
and longing for the guest to show some
signs by which he can gracefully and
Hospitality suggest "that it is growing
late" yet neither quite likes to appear,
as they think, impolite. In fact, many
visitors have suffered agonies in trying
to be agreeable, while the host and
hostess we're doing their best to sup
press their yawns and to "make con
versation" until chance offered a solu-
ton to the difficulty. There is, how
ever, but one rule to be followed in
this relationship of host and hostess
and the hour of retirement. The host
or hostess must always take the ini-
tiative and say an appropriate word as
to the lateness of the hour and the
desirability of going to bed.

TREATMENT For PAINTING. AL
though fainting is not common in chill
dren, young girls may be subject to
such attacks. When one faints, it is
owing to temporary weak action OF
the heart, so that sufficient blood is
not pumped to the brain to maintain
consciousness. The face becomes very
pale, and the extremities are cold.
Usually all that is necessary is to place
the person flat on the back, which will
ease the action Of the heart, while
gravitation aids in restoring the proper
amount of blood to the brain. Never
allow a fainting person to remain in
an upright position, as death has thus
resulted from heart failure. Sprinkle
a few drops of cold water upon the
face and cautiously holding spirits OF
hartshorn under the nose will aid, by
reflex action, in restoring the functions
of heart and brain. Cold water should
never be poured upon fainting per-
son, and everything beyond the first
shock is depressing and should hence
be avoided.

SHE FOUND AN INsCRIPTIoN.-Old
stories have funny way of cropping
up in new setting, says the Buffalo
Commercial. A good instance in point
is that of widow who went to West
minister Abbey TO get an idea for an in,
scription on her departed husbands
tombstone. She strayed into the north
side Of the abbey, where she came
upon the tomb of Purcell, who is
buried under the organ. She read the
epitaph and was greatly pleased with
it.
"Here lies Henry Purcell, Esq, who
has left this life and is gone to that
blessed place where only his own
harmony can be excelled."
A few days afterward the widow
had the following sentiment placed
upon her husbands tombstone:
Erected by his spouse to the mem
ory of A. B, manufacturer O
fireworks. He has gone to the only
place where his own works are ex
celled."

HONEY AS A FooD.-Probably most
people consider honey as the equal in
value for food of any sweet sauce, no
better, no worse. All should know
that it possesses one great superiority,
ease of digestion. The nectar of flow
ers is almost wholly cane sugar. The
secretious added by the bees change
this to grape sugar, and SO prepare il
that it is almost ready for assimilation
without an effort on the part of the
stomach; in fact, Professor A. J. Cook
once styled pure honey "digested
nectar" 1t will be readily seen that
honey is very desirable food for those
with weakened digestive powers. lfa
person is very tired, "loo exhausted to
eat," it is astonishing how a few tastes
of honey will act almost like magic
But little effort is required to make il
ready for assimilation. Persons suffer
ing from some forms Of kidney trouble
will find that honey is much more
beneficial food for them than is cane
sugar.

WHEN THE SHOES ARE DAMP.

Much advice is given from time to
time in regard to the care Of the
youngsters shoes as they come in from
school wet and misshapen from con-
tact with wet pavements and the un-
confessed wading in puddles, which is
sure to delight the heart Of the small
boy. But with all this advice about
keeping the chidren's shoes in good
condition, those belonging to the old
er people are usually allowed TO take
care of themselves, though they may
be of even greater importance and
quite as often damp.
Few people give proper care to their
shoes. They come in damp, tired,
cold perhaps, and possibly not in the
best of tempers, fling their shoes OIL
impatiently, get into slippers as quick
Iy as possibly, sit down 10 rest, forget.
ting that their shoes will be in a
scarcely wearable condition by the
next morning.
If every one would invest in a quart
or two Of good clean oats, and keep
them in a bag in the dressing room,
they would have at hand the means OF
putting their shoes in good condition
with very little trouble and less cost.
As soon as the shoes are taken oil
lace or button them up, and fill them
about two.thirds full of oats, shake
them down well, then tie in q hand
kerchief parcel Of oats as large as
can be pressed into the top of the shoes
to fill the remaining space and put the
shoes away until wanted. The oats
absorb the moisture in the shoes, and
in absorbing it the oats swell consider
ably, and the constant pressure on the
leather keeps the shoe in correct shape
and prevents that uncomfortably stiff.
ness and rigidity always noticed when
leather has been wet. A little trouble
and care of this sort will save many
pair of shoes, and in all probability
will save many corn from being form

A MAsTERLY STROKE.-Two gun

other a sharpshooter, were in quest OF
ducks in the marshes just south OF
Marcus Hook, says the Philadelphia

coming of the game, when, on a sud-

shamrock put his gun to his shoul-
der and fired both barrels into the
midst of the flock of floating ducks.
In answer to an expostulation from his

Hoe CHoLERA.-So far as we know
there is no infalible remedy for hog
cholera, though many have laid claim
to the discovery Of such. Keeping
hogs healthy with varied diet and
good water, and having salt, copperas
and charcoal always within their
reach, are the best preventatives we
have to offer. 1t is contagious dis.
ease which has long been known but
rendered more common Of late by the
importation of swine from the north,
which bring and communicate the dis
ease to the natives. When ever a hog
has the cholera badly he might as

made to prevent the spread of the dis.
ease by burning up him and his excre'
