NO "DAY OFF" FOR A JUDGE
Barristers IN Great Britain Can Applv
for Injunctions at Any Time
and Place.

Illustrating the proposition that a
judge never puts aside his judgeship. the
Westminster Gazette has the following:
Yesterday Mr.. Justice BucknilI was
surprised on the links by g. ba1rister wlo
presented an urgent request for a GER
tain injunction. His lOrdship suspended
his game, and after due consideration of
the facts made the order, which was at
once telegraphed to Cardiff, and no
doubt took effect the same afternoon.
"On another occasion a barrister on
similar quest is rumored to have found
his quarry bathing at Brighton. With a
cOmmendable devotion to his clients in
terests. he hired the next bathing ma
chine and rapidly joined the judge in the
water The judges surprise at being
suddenly accosted in the weII-known
formula, L have an application to make
my lord, in very urgent matter may
be imagined. The law sometimes atones
for its proverbial delay by these light
ming injunctions."

DISEASE NEEDS WATCHING.
Whoeping Cough Not Simple Little
AHEaAr Many supposs--NearIy
as Fatal a. Scarlet Fever,

Eliza H. Root calls attention, says the
Woman's Medical Journal, to the fast
that this disease is too little dreaded by
the medical profession and that 1t is by
no means the simple AFFAIR that many
seem to suppose.
From the United States census OF 1900
we find that 6S3 died in New York from
whoopirg cough and 549 from scarlet
fever. In Chicago 141 died from whoop-
ing cough and 373 from scarlet fever;
Philadelphia, 179 from whooping cough.
1S2 from scarlet fever, and so on in the
different cities. Death from whooping
cough occurs most frequently from
pneumonia as a complication that in
duces heart failure. or a bronchitis may
occur that ends in suffocation. Asphyxia
or marasmus due to the continued eject
ing of the food or loss of appetite may
cause death
Even when death does not occur, Sc
we're disturbance Of the nervous system
may remain, as weakness of the intel
lect and memory, imbecility Visual de-
fects, strabismus, blindness and deaf
ness, partial OF complete, and even deaf
mutism may remain. Whooping cough
1t is evident, should be under the con-
troll of health authorities, subject to
quarantine and other preventive meas
dres as much as scarlet fever.
