Lockjaw, or ~tetanus, is caused by
the development in the body Of the
tetanus bacillus, a germ living in the
soil In many places, especially in city
streets, round barns and stables and
In pastures. This bacillus does not
grow readily when exposed to the air,
so there is usually little danger Of
lockjaw following large wounds. The
danger lies in the punctured wounds.
the ragged wounds, and often also the
seemingly trivial wounds which heal
rapidly, and so seal up the tetanus
germ away from the air; there it finds
the conditions most favorable to its
development and the manufacture OF
the nerve poison which cause the
symptoms Of this terrible disease.
Such being the case. the treatment of
little wounds from pistols, torpedoes
and crackers is to make them bigger.
This requires some courage n the
part of the doctor, and the more cour-
age the smaller and apparently more
insignificant is the wound, and par
ents ought not to increase his trial by
pleading against the necessity OF cut
ting deeply into the wound, opening II
widely and washing it out thoroughly
with antlseptlc solutions. 1t is only in
this way that the danger Of lockjaw
car be reduced to a minimum, and
even this in exceptional cases does not
prevent the disease.
The modern treatment for this dis
ease is the injection of tetanus anti
toxin. Even this may fail If injected
simply under the skin or into the mus
Giles, and the antitoxin has OCCASION
ally been injected into the sheath COW
ering the spinal cord, or even beneath
the membranes of the brain, so that it
may the more directly reach the nerve
centers chiefly affected by the poison.

YES" said Mr.. Starline,- who was
talking to himself in his library, 'yes,
Miss Witherly is a most estimable
lady. Devoted to the church, chart
table, energetic. excellent in every
way; and she admires-ahem!-that is,
she appreciates me.
How she works among the Or
phans and the aged poor in the Home;
how excellently she manages her BIZ
bic class, and how kind of her to bring
up that little orphan, Ellen Moore; yes,
| shall gain a helpmeet indeed if she
will accept me, and" said Mr.. Star
line, regarding his clerical white tie
in the mantel glass complacently for a
will"
Then Mr.. Starline put on his best hat
and his best gloves, took in his hand
the gold-headed cane presented to him
by his congregation, and set out in the
direction of Miss Witherly's cottage,
having quite resolved to waste no more
time about it, but to propose at once.
All! could Cansaida have known it,
nothing would have delighted her
more. For two years she had made
the capture of Mr.. Starline, his big
parsonage, his snug little income, and
the honor Of the title Of minister's
wife the object of her soul. With this
hope she had devoted herself to church
work, to the aged poor in the Home,
to the little orphans and to the poor
generally. She had given flowers at
Easter, and twined evergreens at
Christmas, till her hands were full of
briars, and oh! how she had listened
to the Mr.. Starline preached,
and borrowed them for private perusal,
and wept over the affecting parts, and
had striven not to smile, oh, so very
hard, because it was in church you
know, when he grew witty.
Just at the time he took his evening
walk 1t had often happened that she
was hurrying up the road with a lar
Of jelly for a sick person or a tract for
a wicked one. No one could guess
how hard she had worked to gain her

point, and nOw-just as Mr.. Starline
had made up his mind-poor Miss
Witherly began to despair. She had
wasted two years upon a clergyman
which she might have spent more
profitably. for she had driven from her
a very respectable farmer with serious
intensions, and he had. married some
one else.
This morning a false report that Mr..
Starline was counting Rosa Rhubarb,
the doctors daughter, had reacl ed her,
and she was very cross. Moreover, her
dear crony, the Widow Lane, had come
to stay all day. Every woman has one
crony in the world before whom she
plays no part. Over a late lunch, Miss
Witherly was talking to Mrs. Lane as
she talked to no one else, wher the
clergyman arrived, and a new servant,
who was not acquainted with the gen.
tleman, thus announced him:
"a man wants you, Miss Witherly."
"Old Hopper, l suppose" said Miss
| Witherly, 81 promised to send his wife
some clothes; put him anywhere, Jane,
out of the way until l can eat my
lunch, for l don't disturb myself for
any n to-day"
And Jane, returning to MI. Starllne,
escorted him to the parlor, where every
word that was spoken In the dining
room was plainly audible.
The clergyman seated himself in the
largest armchair, which was neal the
communicating door, and folded his
hands and waited. He was composing
an ornate proposition. He had got as
far as: "My dear and respected Miss
Witherly, you may have remarked"
when suddenly a sharp voice smote his
ear with these words, sold Starline."
Old Starline! He could scarcely be-
lieve his ears. Involuntarily he leaned
q little nearer the door and heard the
words repeated.
at must be some n else of the
same name. I'm not old" said Mr..
Starline.
Its nobody's business, I'm sure"
said Miss Witherly.

EDUCATED WOMEN UNFIT FOR WIVES.

u affects the nerves and makes them dread matri-
lAN mony more than did the girls Of another gener-
60 alton, because they realize that their physical
sysLe.us are weaker and less able to endure the strain and
responsibilities of motherhood.
What plan have l to suggest to change this? 1t Is simple
and l think would be effective. Cut out Greek, Latin,
mythology and algebra, and turn them out of school at an
earlier age. Give the girls an opportunity to rest after a

up their physical systems for the trials of wlfehood- Youth
full love POUNDS a stronger home and produces more healthy
children. Young married couples who are not overeducated
have the healthiest children. That is what is needed.
My observation is that the American nation is drifting to
marriages at the age of 3S to 40 for men and 80 to So for
women. Nature never intended them to mate so late in
life. Happiness cannot be the outcome of marriages of that
kind.
Then education, as has been pointed out often, makes
a woman Independent and crowds men out of employment
1t reduces wages and makes 1t more difficult for men to
take wives. But that is the economical point of it, and has
no bearing on what | desire to convey. Overstudy in school,
then more study la music, painting, and perhaps something
Intellect. 1t ruins her for motherhood. Earlier marriages,

home and rear a family of say eight or ten children.

Dramatic critics and commentators
have long been puzzled to account for
the fact that Shakespeare placed the
scene of Hamlet" at Elsinore, in the
Island Of Zealand, whereas the Dan
ish prince lived and died in Jutland.
But just recently the municipal au-
thorities at Elsinore, or Helsingor,
have discovered in their archives that
an English company was acting in
their town in 1887 or 1888, and among
the names of the actors are several Of
those who were acting with Shake
speare In London in 1899.
Obviously, these actors must have
talked about their adventures In Den
mark, and so Shakespeare became well
acquainted with Elsinore, and, when
he wrote Hamlet" naturally placed
the scene in a place which he knew
by description rather than in an island
of which he knew nothing. The poet
was no great stickler for accuracy in
geographical matters and this visit of
the English actors plausibly explains
the reason why the tragedy of Ham
LETT was placed in Zealand and not in
Jutland.

CURRENCY is INSURED
Sender Now Protected Against Los
When He Ships Money.

Sender Now Protected Against Losa
When He Ships Money.
Money Is now sem everywhere in
single packages containing $4,000 or
less, under policies of insurance pro-
tecting the owners against every pos
sible hazard, at rates varying from 10
to so cents per $1,000 of currency in
sured. Most Of the notes are S., $40
and 500 denominations, besides sup
plies of 81 and 81 for use as 'hand-to-
hand money for crop movement pur-
poses.
These transfers go to all sections of
the United States, Canada, Great Brit
ain and to continental points, says the
New York Post. The business has now
grown to large proportions and is writ.
ten by some Of the strongest insurance
companies in Europe and America.
One very interesting claim paid a few
days ago was for the loss of a parcel
containing So, ZOO in bank notes ship
ped through the mails by n Canadian
institution. The destination was a
small postoffice, where the business
was so light that the postmaster, not
having the use Of a safe in which TO
store valuables, was forced to take
home every night undelivered register
ed mail that arrived during the day.
The package of bank notes was taken
out of the Office in this way, and just
before the postmaster reached home he
was attacked by footpads and relieved
of the money. The loss was immedi-
ately reported and the insurance com.
pany at once reimbursed the institu-
ton, at the same time offering $500 re-
ward for the detection Of the thief.
The ease has not been cleared up yet.
Packages containing 10000 of in
sured bank notes were on the train
that went through a bridge in a South
ern State last winter. New York I'M
derwriters were much concerned over
the incident until they discovered that
the car in which the insured packages
were stored remained safe on the
rails. The largest single risk ever writ
ten was taken in England some time
ago, when one package containing $685.
100000 was insured.
