A Case Of Scarlet Fever.

A case Of scarlet fever was discOv-
cred, yesterday forenoon, at the home
of j. A. Mclean on the Bond Brook
road. when DIR. w. johnson pronounced
Mr.. McLean's 7-year-Old son, Edgar.
victim of scarlet fever.
Young Mclean was taken out Of the
Smith Grammar school, Grade I, last
Wednesday. slightly Ill, but it was not
until yesterday that it was thought
necessary to call a physician.
The house has been quarantined and
every precaution taken to prevent any
spread of the disease.
Although young Mclean has been at
tending school regularly, 1t is conceded
that there was not the slightest danger
of any students catching the disease
from him at that time. In fact the dis
ease is not considered contagious until
the period of desquamation which does
not take place for some time after the
patient is taken i'll. A Journal reporter
called upon some Of the managers Of
the Village district schools, yesterday
and they wish to impress upon parents
of pupils in these schools that there is
no cause for alarm, and that any with
drawal of students viii be an injustice
to both the pupils themselves and the
city which is under heavy daily ex-
pense to maintain the schools.

Local dealers report marked IN
crease in the sale OF beef, since the
prices dropped few days ago. 1t IS
predicted that the sale will continue to
grow for some time to come as the fact
that the prices are lower have not be-
come widely known. 1t is not expected
that the prices in the immediate future
will be any lower than they are at the
present time. Pork remains high,
though dealers generally believe that
the prices must drop very soon.

The TOUCH DOES IT

Bensons Plasters are like your other
friends-they hate to see you in pain or
in weakness and are dog-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to cure you
and send you along to your business-whole
and happy. They can do it and aoU do it.
Try them on. What for? Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
a leg worth only half price just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion of
it, clap Bensons Porous Plaster squarely on
the bad spot. They are the get-out-to-naorroso
plasters- not the sort that go to sleep on
your skin like cat on cushion. There
is comfort and speedy relief in the touch Of
them. No other external remedy, no mat
ter how made or how called, is worthy
to live in the same street with Ben
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them as sheet of ice does I'M
der the Spring sun. You cannot foretell
the weather but you can always foretell
the effect of Benson's Plasters; it is as
sure as the effect of hot breakfast in
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes. Get the genuine. All drug
gists, or we will prepay postage on any
number ordered i'll the United States on
receipt of 25c. each.

FatteninG For Marriage.

The manageable girl in Tunis has a
trying ordeal to go through after her
betrothal to the man not of her choice,
but whose choice she is. She has to be
fattened to the required size before the
ceremony can take place.
AS soon as the betrothal takes place
she is taken to a room and there COOP
ed up till the fattening process is con-
cluded. Silver shackles are fastened
round her wrists and ankles, and the
task of her parents and future hus-
band is to increase her bulk till her
wrists and ankles fill up the shackles.
If the husband is Il widower or has
discharged" his first wife. the girl has
the shackles of the first spouse placed
on her, and she must fill them out.
1t takes a long time to do this, as a
rule, and sometimes it cannot be ac-
complished in spite of all efforts. 1t is
then open to the future husband to cry
off the bargain or waive the condition.
In the case of a bachelor he takes care
to see that the bracelets and anklets
are not too large-that is, if he is fond
of the girl-but if he is being forced
into the marriage by his parents he is
a great stickler for custom. Stout girls
are the more quickly snapped up i'll

Two Englishmen were discussing
with Mark Twain the old topic Of
American humor as not appreciated by
foreigners.
'But are the English really SO OBJ
tuse?" asked one of them.
"Obtuse. You can't get an idea into
an Englishman's head with a surgical
operation" declared Mark Twain.
The Questioner remained in solemn
thought for a moment. Then he broke
into hearty laugh.
"Quite delicious joker he exclaim-
ed. Though of course if you were
to open the Englishman's skull. you
would kill him, would you not?"
Mark Twain turned to the second
Englishman. "What did I tell you :?
He wants to know whether it wouldH' t
kill himr'

lishman was like blank wall.
"Wouldn't it?' he Queried.-New York

Doesn't Like COwpeas.

A dairy farmer in Carlisle, Pa, with
200 COWS does not like cOwpeaS for
food for his herd. He sowed two acres,
and the yield was good, but the cows
refused to eat them. He thinks they
might do for southern COWS that can
not get square meal without taking a
mountain walk of mile or more. He
cannot understand how we'll fed cows
can be induced to eat them. But there
and horses eat them greedily and seem
to prefer them to other food, says the
American Cultivator. But, as all do
not, and it seems to be an acquired
taste, and as they are as difficult to cure
as hay, we see no reason for urging a
trial of them on northern farmers or
those who can grow clover, which
seems to suit the appetite Of all our
animals and which produces nearly if
not quite as much food per acre as the
cOwpea and as much milk per ton of
dry or green food as any crop grown.
The Massachusetts experiment station
has spent much time and some money
in testing various fodder crops but we
think it has not yet found any bet
ter than the combination of corn fod-
der and clover, which seems to grow
in almost any fertile soil to furnish
food that all animals like and thrive
ON, whether green or dry cured, and
that leave the land in as good if not
better condition for future crops as
any crops that have been tried

PARAGONS OF DUTY.
DrOH Legends OF Filiai Piety as
Prncticed In Japan.

The Japanese make much of the duty
of children to parents. In some of
their popular stories they exaggerate
the wholesome virtue until it becomes
absurd There is a group of such tales
called '.The Four and Twenty Para
CONS of Filial Piety," some of which
Mr.. Basil Hall Chamberlain collects ia
Things japanese"
One is the story Of the paragon whose
cruel stepmother was very fond of fish.
In spite of her harsh treatment he lay
naked on a frozen lake until his body
melted a hole in the ice. He caught
two fish that came up to breathe and
set them before his stepmother. An
other paragon lay uncovered at night
in order that the mosquitoes should
fasten on him alone and allow his
parents to slumber undisturbed.
Still another, who was extremely
poor, determined to sacrifice his own
child in order to save food to support
his aged mother. He was rewarded
by heaven with the discovery of yes
sci filled with gold, on which the whole
family lived happily ever after. \
fourth gave her father a chance to es-
cape while she chung to the jaws of the
tiger which was about to devour him.
The drollest story Of all is of Rovai-
shi. This paragon, although seventy
years old, used to dress in baby's
clothes and sprawl about the floor. His
object was piously to delude his par
ents, who were more than ninety years
of age, into the idea that they could
not be so very old after all, seeing that
they had an infant son.

THE ROAD TO / DYSPEPSIA.
Why So Many Persons Suffer From
This Distressing Trouble.

This Distressing Trouble.
1t requires about five hours for the
stomach to work Oh an ordinary meal
and pass it out of itself when it falls
into state of repose; hence if Il man
eats three times day lis stomach
must work fifteen hours out of the
twenty-four. After q nights sleep we
wake up with q certain amount of bod
lily vigor which is faithfully portioned
out to every muscle of the system and
every set of muscles, each it's rightful
share, the stomach among others.
When the external body gets weary
after a long days work, the stomach
bears it's share of the fatigue, but if,
when the body is weary with the days
toll, we put it to bed, giving the stom-
ach meanwhile a five hours task which
must be performed, we impose upon
the very best friend we have-the one
that gives us one of the largest amounts
of earthly enjOyment-and if this over
taxing is continued it must as certain
ly wear out prematurely as the body
itself will if it is overworkcd every
day.
And, if persons eat between meals,
then the stomach has no rest from
breakfast in the morning until l, 2.
or o'clock next day; hence it is that
so many persons have dyspepsia. The
stomach is worked so much and so
constantly that it becomes too weak to
work at all.-London Family Doctor

Beating the Customs.

A party of Englishmen staying il
France went for drive which extend
ed beyond the Italian frontier, where
they purchased basket of fruit. Up
on their return the revenue Officia
stopped the carriage and said the tax
must be paid for the fruit. The Eng
liShmen at once told the driver to stand
still for awhile. Then. with the dis
gusted official looking on, but unable
to interfere, they calmly and deliber
ately ate the contents of the basket
and went on their way untaXed an(
rejoicing.

Beetles Music.

While the structure of the music o.
STIMULATING organs of beetles is ex-
tremely simple they sometimes pos
sess contrivances for varying the
pitch. The general structure of such
an organ is a hard surface covered
with situations, over which some other
member of the body furnished with a
rasping edge or area is rubbed. When
the striated edge is divided into parts
with finer and coarser markings, varia-
tons of pitch can be produced.
