An Awkward Sttua ton.

Representative Morrell, Of Philadel-
phia, said in the course of an address
to national guardsmen:
las colonel of the Third Regiment
of Pennsylvania, l once took part in
an odd and amusing episode.
MY regiment was marching down
Broad street in the van OF an immense
and magnificent parade, when, near
Walnut street, 1t became necessary to
push the people back a little. The
ropes had broken at this point, and
the people, quite unintentionally, en-
croached on the line of the parade.
II assigned handful of young pri-
Yates to help the police handle the
crowd, and one private, stationed near
me- l kept my eye on. He got every
body back except a fat man. This
person did not move.
Private, said l, put that fat man
back
He says he can't get back the
crowd is pushing So the private an
swered.
"'Put your musket butt In his chest,
said |, and force him back. You are
the stronger
Yes said the private. 4 know I'm
the stronger, but he's the foreman of
our shop"

Cerebrospinal Meningitis.

CerebrOspinal Meningitis.
For two years the country has been
passing through an epidemic of cere-
brosplnal meningitis, which Stays the
greater number Of its victims, and
mind or body. Occasional cases occur
here and there every year, but little is
heard Of these for their number is
small, and it is only when widespread
epidemics occur that alarm is caused
Cerebrospina meningitis, or spotted
fever, as 1t is popularity called, is due
to the presence Of germ in the men,
braneous covering of the brain and
spinal cord. it attacks children most
frequently, yet adults, even the aged,
are not safe from Its onslaught.
1t may begin abruptly or gradually.
When 1t is gradual the first symptom
is usually intense headache-this per-
sists with few remissiOns throughout
the course of the disease-fOllowed by
a chill or commissions in very young
is usually what is called "projectile
vomiting" that Is. the stomach con-
tents are elected with great force, and
not merely regurgitated.
Stiffness Of the muscles Of the neck
and back soon appears, and any move
ment Of these parts becomes distress
ingly painful. The head is drawn back
by the muscular contraction, and
sometimes the entire spine is curved
backward SO that the body and head
form an arc of a circle. The pupils
contract slowly or not at all when
turned to the light. squint is some
times present, and light causes dis
tress, as shown by the closing Of the
eyes and contraction of the brow OF
the nearly unconscious patient. The
sufferer shrinks also from noises, and
the least touch causes pain.
Delirium or Inconsistencies occurs
almost always early in the disease.
Although it is called spotted fever,
the eruption occurs only occasionally
and in the severer cases.
In what is called the illuminate form
the sufferer is attacked with the sud
denneSs OF paralytic stroke. and the
disease runs frightfully rapid course,
death often taking place within twen-
ty-four hours.
The fatality varies with the different
epldemics, running all the way from
so per cent down to about 20.
If the disease does not kill. 1t often
leaves its victim wreck-blind or
deaf. paralyzed or idotic. or con-
slant sufferer from intolerable head
ache.
The treatment consists in absolute
rest in quiet. dark room. restricted
diet and laxatives. Warm baths Of
long duration have been found of use.
Recently some physicians have report
ed apparent cures by the injection of
diphtheria antitoxin.-YOuth's Com

MUTE ON Her WEDDING DAY.

Korean Bride Must Hold Her Peace or
Lose Caste Forever.
A Korean woman Is not permitted
to speak or nod on her wedding day
Should she transgress she at once be-
comes an object of ridicule and loses
caste. She must remain Obdurate to
her husbands entreaties; neither
threat nor prayer must move her, for
all the household is on the qui vive to
Somtimes for week or more she does
not speak, and even then, when COM
plete silence is broken, only puts her
tongue to the most necessary uses.
Although no universal custom is
prevalent in the western world, extra
ordinary cases are not wanting In
the early '4Os Mrs. Jones, living in
Pennsylvania, undertook, for wager
Of $3.50, to remain mute for the first
month Of her marriage. Her husband.
who naturally was not in the secret,
was so much incensed at his brides
behavior that he left her before the
period Of her ordeal had expired, only
to return later when apprised Of the
real reason for this unusual silence.
On the anniversary Of their wedding
day Brussels couple named Dupont
quarreled SO bitterly that the wife IN
a burst Of passion swore that her hus-
band should never again hear the
sound Of her voice She would there
and then have quilted the house, but
her now penitent husband implored
her not to leave him. To that extent
only did his entreaties prevail, for she
kept the letter Of her oath and never
in her spouse's presence did she un.
loose her tongue In other respects she
continued a model wife, and maybe
her strange resolution contributed not
a little to the harmony Of the house
hold.
A Brunn woman whose husband
was in hiding from the authorities in
advertently betrayed his whereabouts
to a neighbor who was secretly in the
pay of the police. AS result he was
taken and received a term of impris-
onment. SO much did his wife take
to heart this misfortune, which had
been brought about by her gossip, that
she resolved for the remainder of her
life to Yemain mute: nor did she even
make an exception in her husbands
favor. for. although she received him
on his release with the utmost affec-
ton, she maintained an Obdurate sill
ence, which remained unbroken till
her death, which took place three

THE LAY OF THE HEN.
Cackle of Pride More Important to
Mankind Than All Bird Son3s.

Mankind Than All Bird Songs.
1t Is in the spring when the modest
hen has greatness thrust upon her.
Three-fourths of all the eggs laid in
the United States are laid between
March l and July l.
OF robin and blackbird and meadow
lark spring poets write page after
page; their praises are sounded every
minute by prophets and sages; but not
since the stars sang together, not
since the creation of men, has anyone
drawn a goose feather in praise Of
the patient profitable old hen.
All honor and praise to the singing
that cheers up the wildwood in spring.
and the old tender recollections that
bring up Joy, childhood, love and all
that sort Of thing; but more import
ant than the twitter of the robins or
all the wild medley of free birds is
the cackle Of pride over new-laid
egg, and that motherly cluck when Il
brood of chickens surrounds the old
hen.
And now the music Of the hens fills
all the country with promise Of plenty
and substantial prosperity.
The hen is more than a musician
and prophet. She has the magic
power to turn her humble songs into
the clink of gold.
In 1900, when the latest complete
census was taken, the total value of
all fowls on farms was $S5. 794, 1885,
These produced, in one year, poultry
that sold for $136,S91 ,S77, and eggs
that sold for $144, 2S6370-a total Of
$2S1, 1924. The investment yielded
an income of 400 per cent.
The average yield Of the hen is 100
eggs a year. The high yield Of PSI
eggs a year has been recorded.
So the cackle and cluck Of the hum
BILE hen are far more than mere music.
The lay Of the hen may not be a
subject for the poets rhapsodies, but
1t is a subject for the careful consid-
Grafton of the practical minded

Railroad Rate LEGISLATION.

Testifying before the senate commit
tee at Washington, Interstate Com
MERGE Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give to
that commission the power to regulate
railway rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. l have never advocated any law,
aid am not now in favor of any law.
which would put the rate making pow
er into the hands Of any commission or
court. While it may be necessary to
do that some time, while that is done
in some states at the present time,
while it is done in some countries,
am opposed to it. The
railway rate is property. 1t is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest Of its property is not good for any.
thing unless 1t can charge a rate. Now
it has always seemed to me that when
a rate was fixed, il that rate was an
unreasonable rate, it deprives the rail-
road company of its property pro tanto.
It is not necessary that you should con-
fscate the property of a railroad; it is
not necessary that you should say that
it shall not earn three per cent or four
per cent. When you put in a rate that
is inherently unreasonable, you have
deprived that company of its rights, of
its property, and the circuit court Of
the United States has jurisdiction un.
der the Fourteenth amendment to re.
strain that. l have
looked at these cases great many
times, and can only come to the con-
clusion that railroad company is en-
titled to charge fair and reasona BILE
rate, and if any order of commission,
if any statute Of a state legislature
takes away that rate, the Fourteenth
amendment protects the railway COM
pany."

the pretty city suburbs. News Of the

mothers father in London, SO worked
on that kindly Briton's emotions that
he took the next steamer to pay his
grandson a visit.
Grandpa came through to Chicago
in safety. On his arrival he answered
inquiries Of his relatives as to his
travelling experiences with an air of
wisdom that set at rest any misgivings
they may have had in regard to his
ability to take care of himself. He
told with much glee how he circum-
vented Gotham cabman who had
transferred him from the steamer dock
to the railway station. Having in
mind the strictly enforced London ordi-

men, he put his hand in his pocket.
