 When l was preaching my first sermon, on hot summer Sunday, | had just given out the text, and had hardly opened my mouth for the first sentence of my discourse, when in popped fly, l could hear him hop ping around in my mouth and buzzing like all possessed A cold sweat broke out all over me. l felt him back in my throat. l glared at the audience-they were looking at me eXpectantly. l felt that the crisis of my life had arrived, and that l must act at once. Through my hot brain flashed the thought: shall l gag and spit out the intruder, and make spectacle of myself befJIe these people, who are waiting for the WI iAANhf anu JAAho NNl lihbly oHOil LilO effect of it and ruin my reputation at the outset of my career, or shall l take the fellow down and wrest victory from the enems?' My mind was made up on the instant. l gulpcd down went Mr. Fly to be converted into flesh and bone and muscle, and | plunged into my sermon, and went through it with such zest and earnest | ness that the rows of people who met l me at the door to shake hands de | clared iJ was the best sermon they d | ever listened to.
 And I've been swallowing flies ever since" he added, with a droll twinkle of the eye. Whenever one attack me in the papers or elsewhere, l simply say to myself, Here's an- other fly; m take him down. and down he goes. l find it is the best way tO avoid yquarrels, and to over. come trlfllng obstacles, which would only be magniied by opposition"

Deaths from Illuminating Gas.

That modern methods, adopted 20
lessen the cost Of manufacture Of illum-
mating gas. have brought about great
ly increased death rate from gas poison
ing is charged by American Medicine
(April l2). This, ii claims, is due to the
use of the so called water gas in
which there is a high proportion Of the
very poisonous carbon monoxid Says
the writer:
Several decades ago, it was found
that by using liberal admixture OF
water gas, an illuminant of fair quality
could be furnished at price much
lower than coal-ga and yield greater
dividends This was sufficient motive
for energetic work by lobbyists in differ
ent states to secure the repeal of laws
limiting the proportion of carbon
monoxid in illuminating gas TO 10 per
cent practically prohibiting water gas,
which contains at least 30 per cent of
this lethal agent Following the repeal
of these laws in Massachusetts, there
deaths and of accidents attributable TO
illuminating agents. In the thirteen
years prior TO the introduction of water.
gas the number of deaths registered as
due to illuminating gas was only eight,
all from the inhaling of gas as a suicidal
agent. In the thirteen years following
the introduction of water-gas the num-
Der of deaths due to the cause is stated
to have been 459, and there have been a
number of accidental APPROPRIATIONS with
recovery. These figures take no account
of the many cases OF chronic gas poison
ing, due to leakage from pipes Water.
gas is far more penetrative than coal.
gas, and those interested in sanitation
claim that il has corrosive action on
metals leading to a far greater escape
ment Of carbonic oxid. This seems evi.
denced by the saturation OF the soil in
vicinity Of mains, leading in many in
stances TO the destruction of all plant
life. There san be no reasonable doubt
that, with the great affinity of the car
bon monoxid for the normal oxygen Of
the blood, constant absorption OF the
gas in small quantities viii eventually
produce "A condition of general ill-health
greatly increasing the liability to dis.
ease and at the same time lessening the
resisting power Of the organism. Many
puzzling cases of decline in physical
vigor possibly have their origin i'm a
constant admixture Of illuminating gas
having high percentage Of carbon
monoxid with the air Of homes insult
ciently ventilated. In view of these facts
IL should be made incumbent upon all
gas companies TO give public notice of
the use of water-gas with caution as
to its dangerous character and there
should be in addition municipal legisla
tion limiting the proportion of carbonic
oxid in the resident section, after mid
night at least, 10 not more than ten per
cent. and regulating the character of
the gas-burners and their fittings, with
appropriate penalties to secure enforce
