In Doubt About the Head.

Patrick Murphy, while passing down
fremont street, Boston, was hit on the
head by brick which fell from a
building in process Of construction.
One OF the first things he did after
being taken home and put to bed was
to send for a lawyer.
A few days later he received word
to call, as his lawyer had settled the
case. He called and received five
crisp, new 800 bills.
How much did you get?" he asked.
1.-TWO thousand collars" answered
the lawyer

The Rev. Milton p Braman, D. D.,
for thirty-five years pastor Of the
First Church OF Danvers, Mass, retir-
Ing IN 1861. was widely known as a
preacher and theologian. He was,
however. conservative to the point Of
bigotry, and eccentric withaI. One Of
his eccentricities was his determined
opposition to instrumental music in
church, which he seemed to regard as
little short Of sacrilege. Therefore, It
may readily be understood that when
the parish introduced first and
second violin and bass as accompani-
ment to the singing Of the choir, the
Doctors ire was aroused, and he took
no pains to conceal It.
On the Sunday after the introduc-
tion Of the carnal instruments, when
the preacher rose to announce the
first hymn, he did It in this wise:
The choir will now please to fiddle
and sing to the glory OF God the 1OOtb
Palm"

SANITATION OF CANAL ZONE.

Task We Have Undertaken.
But what about the two great 18th
mian diseases, malaria and yellow
fever? Practically every other disease
can be obliterated by the supply OF
pure water and the simple obedience
to hygienic rules; but these are OF a
different nature and demand more
radical attacks. says DR.. Albert r.
Hall in Reader Magazine. They are
both parasitic in nature; both before
they invade man, must pass through
an intermediate host, and that host Is
the mosquito, stegomyia for yellow
fever, and anopheles for malaria. One
should no longer doubt the essentially
important role Of the mosquito. To.
day all scientists agree that to exter-
inmate the mosquito is to destroy
these diseases; that no other means
excepting this insect has been demon
strated as a carrier Of either. Cling 10
