Attacks Only Those Whose Diet an1
Mode OF Living Are Injudi-
cfous.

Everyone is familiar with the equity

bandaged foot, his choleric temper, his
red face and his gluttonous, bibulous
habits. This is type which, in these
days Of more hygienic living and bet
ter knowledge Of the causes of disease.
is almost unknown in our country and
Is dying out in England. Yet govt re-
mains, to torment not only the high
liver, but also the man who calls him
self temperate, yet whose diet and
mode OF life are injudicious, says
Youths Companion.
A aft OF the govt" usually makes its
first appearance rather suddenly and
unexpectedly. The future equity pa
tient may have little twinges in the
joints occasionally, and may be sub
ject to catarrhal troubles, but other
wise he is often in apparent health. He
is Weakened in the night or early morn
ing with sharp pain in one OF the big
toes, and inspection shows the joint
swollen, red, hot and exceedingly pain
full. The pain diminishes during the
day, but returns at night with re-
doubled energy. After two or three
nights of misery and days Of alternate
hope and despair, the pain gradually
becomes less acute, and by the end Of a
week or ten days the attack is over.
IL this warning is needed, and the
diet and mode of living is radically
changed, it may be that the first attack
will be the only one, but IL the old way
is continued, there will be another at
tack in year or two, and then another
and another, until two or three occur
every year. Finally the Kidneys or the
stomach or the brain or the heart will
be implicated, and the fatal attack will
come.
The ball of the great toe is the joint
most frequently affected, but the fin
gers, ankles, knees, wrists, elbows. or
in fact any Of the joints may suffer.
Gout is believed to be an excessive
formation of uric acid in the body. The
uric acid combines with sodium in the
blood, and the salt so formed--sodium
biurate--is deposited in the joints in
the form of a mortar-lilSe layer. The
substance may also be deposited in the
parts around the joint, causing swell
ing and deformity. Sometimes, when
treatment Is begun early and faithful
ly followed, these deposits may be re.
absorbed, but more commonly equity
finger remains enlarged, and even
grows larger as the years go by.
Gout is disease Of middle and adj
sanced life, and affects men more often
than women. 1t is believed that hered-
ity plays an important part in its pro-
duction, but the main cause is un-
doubleday an unhygienic mode of liv'
ing, especially errors in diet.

LOVE-MAKING IN PUBLIC.
Some thing That Invariably Causes
Observers TO Feel Like
Getting Away.

Some people are prone to forget
that love-making should never be car.
ried on before a crowd. Honest affec-
ton of man for his wife or OF
wife for her husband is n beautiful
thing to see, says the Troy Times, but
IL is always possible for them TO let
the world know of their regard for
each other without hugging or kissing
or using extravagant words of endear-
ment in public. When man calls
his wife "Sweetie" and she answers:
"What is il, dearest?" in the pres
ence of others they generally create
the impression that they are either
very soft or that there is shamming on
both sides. In this connection Julia
Ward Howe has in her "reminiscences
an interesting anecdote of Charles
Dickens. Dr. Howe and his wife went
to Europe on their wedding journey,
and had letters of introduction to
many of the people who were then
prominent in English literary and POI
litical affairs. The great novelist en-
tertained them at his home, where
they met John Forster, who Is known
as the biographer OF Dickens. Pro-
ceeding, Mrs. Howe says: mr.. Fors-
ter invited us TO dine at his chambers
at the Inns of Court. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dickens were of the party, and also
the painter Maclise, whose work was
then highly spoken Of. After dinner,
while we were taking coffee in the
sitting-room, had occasion 10 speak
10 my husband, and addressed him MS
darling Thercupon Dickens slid
down to the floor, and, lying on his
back, held up one OF. his small feet,
quivering with pretended emotion.
Did she call him "darling?" he cried
Mrs. Howe nowhere mentions that she
ever called her husband darling" be-
| fore other people after that.

MAY COPY NEW YoRK's LAW.
The District Government Ascertains
What Constitutes "a Nuisance


The District Commissioners have for
some time past been endeavoring to arrive
at definite conclusion as to what the ex-
act definition of public nuisance Is, and
to aid in this investigation-Ma ajer Sylves-
ter. the Chief of Police, has forwarded to
Commissioner Wight a copy Of section 2S5
of the Penal Code Of the State Of New
York, which defines public nuisance.
The section states that public nuisance
is crime against the order and economy
OF the State. Ii says that this crime con-
sists in unlawfully doing an act, or omit
ting to perform a duty, which act or omis-
sion either annoys, Injuries, or endangers
the comfort. repose, health. or safety Of
any considerable number of persons, Of
fends public decency, unlawfully inter-
feres with. obstructs, or tends to obstract,
or render dangerous for passage, a lake or
naygable river. bay. stream, canal. or ba-
sin, or a public park, square, street, or
highway. or in any way renders a consid-
cradle number of persons insecure In life
or in the use of property.
Under this law case must first be
taken before a committing magistrate,
when, if held, il goes before the court,
and il requested, is given jury trial.
The matter has been referred to the
District Attorney for consideration. and
II he approves of the system efforts may
be made to install the law in the District
Code. If this were done it is said that
many alleged public nuisances which ale
at present beyond the reach of the law
would be rigidly investigated and extreme
efforts made to enforce the rule in every
quarter. The Commissioners are very de-
sirous of learning the opinion of their le-
gal adviser on the matter. for many varied
complaints have been sent to the Commits
sicners of alleged public nuisances, espe-
cially in regard to theatrical perform
ences and exhibitions claimed to be inde-
cent.
