 Spotted Fever.

Chicago, April LA preventive of cerebro spinal meningitis, spotted fever." the dread plague which is ray agthg New York and eastern cities, and from which at least one death, that of an 8 year old girl. occurred in Chicago yesterday, has been suggested by Dr W. J. Class of the health de- parsment. An atonizer. d little car bolic acid, and water are the safe guards.
 "The disease is contracted through the throat" said Dr Class. While the most reliable preventive consists in staying away from infected places, and in perfect cleanliness, the disln- lection of the air passages should help to ward off the disease. Use an atom izer and spray the nasal passages and throat with water containing 1 per cent of carbOlic acid. The disease Is not as contagious as scarlet fever"

An English clergyman Il forget his name) was seen
waiting at a counter in one of London's big department
stores by one of his parishioners ooh, doctor, and why are
you waiting here?' exclaimed the parishioner. II can best

fourteenth verse Of the fourteenth chapter Of Job: And

,xy Byron, an English stock actor, in his time was a wonder
at repartee and rapid-fre wit. It was said Of him -he never
wore an overcoat, and SO one day a friend met him and
asked: essay, Byron, is it true that you never wear an
overcoat?'' To which Byron replied in a flash: '"No, I
never was" CA diagram must be used with this until you
know that the Englishman promounces ''wear'' and "were'
in the same, way) %<
Byron dropped into a %chophouse one day and saw a friend
busily eating some very Hlively" cheese. "Ah, there you
are, Byron. Seeawhat I'm up to- Like Samson, you know,
killing them by thousands eyes, said Byron, "and
with the same weapon" -"
I heard an Englishman define a glutton as Gone who

So you see his lack Of appreciation Of the Americans joke

The EnglishmanSapprecates listening to a joke, he can
tell a joke, and he knows q joke, and it isn't fair to say he
doesn't or he can't. Sometimes his humor is heavy and
slow, but, like good old English beef, it's ~relishable when
you really get your teeth into it.
