Thinking Of Whooping Cough.

Jacob Soba gives the results of his
own experience with the parOXysms Of
whooping cough treated by pulling the
lower jaw downward and forward.
Pulling the lower Jaw downward and
forward controls the paroXysms Of
whooping cough in most instances and
most of the time The method is
usually more successful in older chill
dren than in younger ones and infants.
In cases without a whoOp the eXpira-
tory spasm with its asphyxia is gener
ally overcome, and in those with a
whoop the latter is prevented. 1t is
as successful as any single drug, OF
even more so. Mothers should be in
structed in it's use, SO that attacks, es-
pecially at night, might be arrested.
The manipulation is harmless and
painless It's only contraindicatiOn is
the presence of food in the mouth or

less likely to suffer from complications
and sequelae than those treated only

A piano tuner employed by big
firm was sent to a certain Leeds sub
urb the other day to tune piano. On
his arrival he found the instrument in
excellent condition, and really needing
no attention at all. Some two or three
days later, however, the lady sent a
letter of complaint, stating that the
piano had not been properly tuned.
After receiving a "blackguarding"
from his employer, the hapless tuner
made another journey and tested ev-
cry note, only to find, as before, no
fault with the instrument, and this
time he told the lady so.

Was Ready TO Fight.

A well-known Portuguese engineer,
M. Mesnier, happened to be passing
in his boat near the American squad
ron, which is at present anchored in
the Tagus, when he was nearly struck
by an overripe apple which some one
had hurled from the cruiser Brooklyn.
An indignant remOrstrance only drew
from the sailors who were looking out
a genial string Of Yankee pleasantries.
The irate engineer then pulled up to
the cruiser and, denouncing the Amer
leans as towards, insisted that they
should send his card to the command
err, whom he formally challenged TO a
duel.
This attitude quite won the hearts
of the Americans, who, after freely
apolog,zing for the eXuberance Of spin
it's which had led to his being offended,
saw him off, now quite Modified, with
round of cheers.-London Leader.

Small Coin Travels Around ana Fin"
ally Returns to Owner.
Take an ordinary copper cent piece,
stamp it with a private mark, put 1t
into circulation, and what are the
chances that you will ever see it again2
There is one man who says that he
tried the trick and succeeded at it, He
is a business man, who refuses to al
low his name to be used IMPRINT about
the story, but he tells the tale to many
of his friends, and he vouches for it's
truth.
In 1894, he says, he found a cent
piece dated 1893 in the restaurant Of
the Lafayette Hotel. He pocketed 1t
for luck, and as a memento Of jolly
little dinner scratched his initials on
it just over the feathered head, while
on the cheek he added those Of the
hotel. Until 1896 he treasured the
coin, then drew it out of his pocket
with handful Of other change and
before he realized it the cent piece had
gone the mysterious way Of all money.
A year ago he CHANGED, being Of a
curious turn of MIND to fall into con-
versation one evening with a profess
s.onal beggar at Broad and Chestnut
streets. He upbraided the man for
getting so much money for nothing.
"Oh," said the beggar, Il don't get
so much. That's all I've got In the
last hour" and he held up cent
piece.
At that moment the electric light
fell upon the coin, and the business
man, to his amazement, caught sight
of the letters III. L." on the cheek OF
the face. He took the coin and exam
ined it more closely. Sure enough,
there were his own initials just above
the feathers, where he had placed
them half dozen years before.
At once his prejudice against beg
ging vanished.
'I'H give you a dollar for that coin,"
ne cried.
The beggar grew wary at his eager
ness and demanded So. Needleas to
say he got it, and also, Of course, the
cent piece has never since left the
business mans watch chain.-Phila-

PUNISHED FOR MARRYING.
Penalties Imposed in Certain Circles
of Society on Men Who Marry.

of Society on Men Who Marry.
Matrimony is considered punish
able offense in some communities.
These circles Of society are small. but
their edicts are strong. The larger
community, if it takes cognizance of
mans single state, usually imposes a
fine for not getting married, as in Ar
gentina, where bachelorhood requires
the payment of an increasing tax to
the government.
But in certain circles marriage is re-
garded as an offense. At Oxford Uni
versity, for instance, fellow of ALL
Souls College forfeits his fellowship
if he takes to himself a wife while he
is supposed to be studying the classics.
He not only must pay his penalty,
but he must present his college a me-
mortal in the shape of silver cup, on
which is inscribed the words: "Descen-
dit i'll matrimonium"-"He backslided
into matrimony."
The aristocratic Bachelors Club of
Piccadilly, London, ostracises mem
ers who forget themselves so far as
to marry Instant expulsion is the
punishment for this offenSc. The back
sHders must leave the company Of the
bachelors forever. AS an act Of grace
they ma! pay fine Of 500 and be-

come honorary members Of the club,
but that is their only salvation.
Not only England has these anti-mat-
rimony clubs. Their formation in Chi
cago has been treated as joke, as it
has in other American cities. Bachel-
ors in other countries have lent an air
of seriousness to their endeayors.
It is serious for a, member Of a GER
tain Junggesellen club in Germany to
lapse into matrimony. AS soon as his
intention becomes known he is tried
in the club court, with the president
as judge, when he is allowed to plead
in extenuation Of his offense. On the
skill of his pleading and his excuses
depend his fine. from 500 to $3.50.
This fine is devoted to a dinner, at
which all members appear in mourning
garb. AT its conclusion the president
the delinquent is led from the prem
Uses to an accompaniment Of groans
and lamentations.
Only last winter recreant was con-
demned to swim twice across the Seine
at midnight in his nightshirt, with the
result that a severe attack of rheumat-
ic fever nearly robbed him of the bride
he had paid such a heavy price to wed.
While the bachelor sometimes has
to pay dearly for a wife, in at least
one country it scarcely pays to remain
celibate. In Argentina the man who
prefers single to duplicated bliss has
to pay a substantial and progressive
tax. If he has not taken a wife by
the time he reaches his twenty-ffth
birthday he must pay a fine Of So a
month to the exchequer.

For some years past physicians nave

mortality statistics Of various coun

population, and in 1900 it was almost
The ratio Of deaths from cancer to
those from all causes in persons over
thirty-fve years of age was one Out
of twenty in 1890, but in 1909 it was
one out of twelve. The publication Of
these figures has created a feeling Of
great uneasiness in England, and many
theories have been put forward I'd
account for them. But as a matter
of fact, the condition is probably not
so bad as 1T appears to be. Figures are
VIGOROUSLY misleading, and those on
the prevalence Of cancer are doubtless
no exception to the rule. In the first
place vital statistics are becoming
more accurate with each year, and
figures are now returned from places
whence none came ten years ago.
Again, physicians are acquiring con-
stantly greater accuracy in diagnosis,
and many deaths which would former
ly have been returned as from, some
other cause are now put down to cam
Ger. Another fact which softens
somewhat the terrifying aspect of
these statistics is that the general
length Of life is increasing, and there
fore more people live to the age at
which cancer commonly appears.
These facts cannot, however, explain
away all the figures, and it is un,
doubtedly true that cancer is increas-
ing more or less rapidly. But there is
a bright side to this, as to nearly all
things, for the very fact of it's increase
has drawn the attention of scientific
investigators in all countries to can
Ger, and each is vying with the other
in the attempt to solve the mystery
of the disease and to discover a means
to abate its ravages.

Being the Tale of Two Lads, an Aunt
and Fighting Rooster.
In the days when a brown-stone
front was regarded as the outer and
visible sign Of ''gentility," and when
life in New York was simpler mat

Of the orthodox mansions a certain
highly respectable maiden lady and

him, had ''big gamy streak to him."

having the means wherewith to pur
chase an antagonist, they put their
heads together to compass the borrow

suits:
The younger cousin, an unusually po-
lite and gentle little boy, was de-
spatched on the first holiday to the
grocery where the family dealt, osten-
sibly to order a chicken for dinner.
But" he said, pointing to a crop of
live fowls, my aunt wants to see it,
before you kill it."
The grocer assented, and forthwith
drew from the coop what he consid-
cred a desirable bird. But the boy
would have none of it. He had set
his heart on a rainbow-colored rooster
with enormous comb and tail.
"Why," said the grocer, that is the
very toughest old customer in the
launch"
"My aunt likes them tough" said
the gentle little boy.
In couple of hours the rooster was
borne back to the stOre-One eye shut,
his comb torn and bloody, and but one

he was growing SO triumphantly that
a small crowd followed him. He had
Suffered, but the bird with the "big

"My aunt is much obliged to you"
said the polite and gentle little boy to
the astonished grocer. "She can't de-
