The Post has interviewed all its
advertisers in regard to their Christ
mas trade ard the general verdict is
that it was better than ever befo1e
One of our advertisers said, 81 had
nicer goods than ever before and my
trade was a great deal better than at
any previous Christmas time. That's
the system. Purchase nice goods and
then let the people know YOU have the
goods and that you want to dispose of
them. If a Glenwoud merchant had
bought $40 600 worth of holi day good
and placed them in a back room or
cellar and had kept still about it he
would still have the goods.

Cause Of piphtheria.

Diphtheria is a widespread disease,
which is perhaps more prevalent in
large towns than in country districts.
Ii is TO be classed among the infec-
tious feyers, and it certainly is one of
the most dangerous of them all, II
is most frequently met with among
children, but adults are by no means
exempt.
The real cause OF the disease is now
known to be minute germ somewhat
resembling a rod in shape when seen
under a very high magnifying power.
This germ causes severe inham-
nation of the lining membrane of
the throat, nose, eye, or indeed of
any part of the body with which il
comes in contact. II has also the
special power Of forming a tough
and very adherent membrane. 1t is
this membrane which causes so much
of the danger connected with the
disease, as it blocks up the windpipe
and so prevents the natural ingress
and egress of air to and from the
chest.
The germ of diphtheria is exceed
ingly difficult to destroy. 1t is there
fore very virulent, and no ordinary
disinfectant has the power of CON-
pletely discriminating it. This fact
must be carefully borne in mind, as
on il depends the great Importance
of exercising the most stringent
measures with regard to disinfection

recovery from an attack of diphthe-

JAPANESE MIRRORS.
some That Are suppo. ID TO Possess
a Magic Quality.

Magic aunhtys
Some japanese mirrors are supposed
10 possess magic quality, which has
rendered them objects OF superstitious
reverence for centuries. and. In fact.
II has even puzzled modern science not
a little. When strong beam OF light
Is so reflected from one OF them as to
be thrown upon screen. there appears
upon the screen an Image In delicate
tracery perfectly reproducing the pat
tern engraved In relief on the back OF
the mirror. which. OF course, Is alto
gether hidden from the light Inas-
much as the face of the mirror presents
surface that Is perfectly smooth. ap.
parently the reason for this phenome-
non Is difficult TO find. Its cause, how
ever. IN simple enough. The prelimi-
nary operation OF polishing the face
consists Ia scoring the east disk with
sharp tool In every direction.
The thicker portions, where the or.
namentation In relief Is ON the back,
offer more resistance. and the result Is
a corresponding inequality OF the pol
lshed surface. This inequality Is not
sufficiently marked 20 be visible 20 the
naked eye. but IL Is enough 20 turn the
rays OF light. and thus the pattern OF
the engraving ON the back Is reproduc-
ed ON the screen I'm the manner describ-
ed. These SO called magic mirrors are
~ highly valued that they sell from
ten 10 twenty times the price paid for
ordinary ones.

Among the curious byways OF social

London Globe. Is that which Is concern

course. the oldest OF these modes. In
medieval times the monastery or con
vent bell rang out ON the quiet country
air many times In the course OF the
day and night, and one OF the many
summonses was that which drew them
TO the refectory. And In later ages
there are frequent illusions in lltera-

modes Of summons.
