Now and then we find in all lines Of WORK
some sore, envious creature who is coutin-
ually attempting TO belittle the labor of fel-
low craftsmen and TO hold them up to ridi-
eule. Such a man is a miserable carica-
ture OF humanity and generally receives as he
deserves the contempt Of all who listen to
or read his ill-natured vaporIngs. Who are
the criucs?" asks one author: They are
those who have failed where those whom
they criticize have sueceeded"-and the

A New Drarnostio sien of Measles.

Under the above heading pr. Henry Koplik of New York described recent. !y in the Medical Record a phenomenon which he considers a very valuable sign in the very early stages of meas les. It consists of an eruption which appears on the mucous membrane lin- ing the cheeks and lips. It can be seen. only in very strong daylight fall ing from window direct on the muc- ous membrane. It is then necessary to avert the mucous membrane covering the lips and cheeks, either with the fin gers or by means of spatula. One can then see by close study the infinit. esimally minute bluish-white specks on a reddish punctate area in begin ming measles, and on more difusely reddened background in advanced cases, which are absolutely character istic of measles.

supposed that he had no property. but
after that he seemed in better clrcum-
stances. Ii is rumored that the bust
ness marriage brought him $4,000. Ii is
also said that the minister who per-
formed the ceremony, the Rev. A. o..

dollars for his services.
