Dfphtheria.

A few years ago this was one of the most fatal of the diseases of childhood, and was frequently the cause of death In adults as well, but to-day, thanks to the discovery of antitoxin, 1t has been shorn of many of its terrors, although 1t Is still disease to be dreaded. In the early days from one-quarter to one third of those attacked died, but now the mortality has fallen to one In ten.
 The first sign of the disease Is usual ly sore throat, although this symptom nay be preceded for short time by a slight fever, headache and general las situde. The mucous membrane of the throat Is first reddish and swollen, or it may be paler than usual, but in a few hours, or sometimes day or two, whitish specks appear on the tonsils or the palate. These specks soon increase In extent, and form membrane cover- ing a greater or lesser area.
 The throat alone may be affected. Again, the inflammation with the for nation of membrane may extend to the nostrils or to the larynx. The parts beneath the membrane are swollen, sometimes enormously, and an abund- ant discharge covers all the surface Any of the mucous membranes of the body may be affected, but the parts mentioned are those which are most commonly attacked.
 At the same time with the formation of membrane general symptoms occur, showing that the poison absorbed into the blood stream has caused serious changes in the blood and nervous sys- tenn. A special danger In diphtheria Is heart failure. The poison of the dis ease seems to have a special affinity for the heart.
 A common sequel of diphtheria Is a temporary paralysis, involving first the soft palate. Generally 1t goes no fur ther, but 1t may attack the arms or legs, or any of the muscles in the body.
 The usual treatment of diphtheria is by the injection of antitoxin. In addi tlOu ucdSulCo nave u De IdKeQ to prevent failure of the heart and to keep up the general strength. When the disease involves the larynx, death may threaten through choking, and in this case 1t Is necessary to insert tube between the vocal cords to allow the patient to breathe.-Youth's Compan- lon.

SOUTHWEST AND NORTHWEST.
Where the Greatest Railroad Build
 ing Is Now Going On.

Where the Greatest Railroad Build
 ing Is Now Going On.
 The Southwest vles with the Cana dian Northwest as region of devel- opment. A quarter of the railroad trackage laid in the entire country last year was laid in the Southwest, says the New York Tribune. Texas led with 701 miles of new crack, nearly an eighth of the total of the country, and Texas now leads the States in the coun- try in railway mileage, Illinois having been the leading State up to 1905. In Louisiana 391 miles were laid in 1906. The other Southwestern States and Territories made great gains. Immi- grafton thither Is extensive. B. F. Yoakum of the Rock Island Railway says that 10000 immigrants to the Southwest pass through St Louis week ly, and other thousands enter by way of Kansas City, Memphis and New Or leans. He predicts that the census of 1910 will show a growth In ten years of 50 per cent In the rural population of Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and Tex as, and 100 per cent in Oklahoma and indian Territory. These are desirable immigrants, Americans, tillers of the and Middle Vest who prefer the at fractions of the South to those across the border in Canada. The St. Louis Globe Democrat calls attention to the fact that in 1900 the center of the cot ton crop was In western Mississippi, while now 1t Is probably west of the Mississippi River. Texas raised third Of last years crop. The making of Oklahoma and Indian Territory into State has been, says the Globe-Demo- crat, a great advertisement for the whole empire of the Southwest"
 The Canadian Northwest is also enti- tied to its boast. There are a fuel fam. inc and railroad congestion there, as there are south of the border. The railroad building has not caught up with the growing population. A core spondent of the Toronto Globe writes
 "The plain truth is that the expan- oloh VI thC hCot hCo plOSCCdCo oh u scale more huge than even the most advanced optimist had expected, and all arrangements have fallen short of the necessities. In the export cattle trade alone there has been an increase of 80 per cent, the 10000 head of last year having been increased this year to 90,000. The growth of population has meant an enormous increase in traffic in supplies and In the handling of set tiers effects. Considerably over 100,- GOO people have come into the province during the year from other lands, and in addition many have moved from the older sections of Manitoba to the still cheaper land in the western provinces"
 Cities and towns have sprung up so rapidly and grown so fast that those having a population of more than 1000 each had u total population in 1901 of S2,710 and they have now a total of 192,97S. The increased price of agri- cultural products is sending people In hundreds of thousands to the fertile and only partly developed regions o' the continent.

VAST IMPORT OF DIAMONDS.
One Billion Dollars of the Gems Now
 Owned in This Country.

One Billion Dollars of the Gems Now
 Owned in This Country.
 Upward of $43,OOO,OOO has been paid for diamonds and other precious stones imported at New York in the year re- gently ended, as shown by figures con- piled by the customs authorities. This total exceeds that of the last calendar year by $6,0O0,000 and that of two years ago by $17,000,O0o. In 1900 the valuation was about one-quarter of what 1t Is this year, the greatest In the history of the business. The record imports were possible because of the general prosperity.
 Since 1868, when the first gem was exported from the Cape of Good Hope, the United States has paid about S325,- 100000 for diamonds, or one-half the amount which South Africa has obtain ed for Its entire supply or precious stones the world over. The figures represent what the importers pay and, according to the trade, the public pays twice as much.
 Taking Into account that the value of diamonds has been going up steadl. ly, being now about 20O per cent higher than eight years ago, some dealers say that the gems brought into thls coun. try in the thlrty-eight years must now be worth more than $1,0OO,0OO,O0O. Nearly all the gems are in existence, as the percentage of loss Is so small as to be unimportant.
 The dIamond-cutting industry in New York employs 800 men, who GU, about S11.OO0,000 worth of gems this year. An officer of the Diamond Manu- lecturers Association said yesterday that New York cuts as much of the best grades of rough stones as all the rest of the world and the finished gems turned out in this city In the larger sizes are of a higher average quality than those cut in any other city.-New York Times.

ways. He has sent several special commissions across the water in order that England might be improved by reason of the advances made in Amer lea. He has given added impetus to the schools of England by sending many teachers to the United States to ob- serve and learn. He himself has studied this country from many points of view, and studied 1t not from the standpoint of hostile critic but from that of one who seeks to know In or der to improve himself. For these req sons the opinions of MT. Mosely are entitled to great respect, and when he expresses his belief that the high stand ard of living Is a real peril to Amer lea It Is worth while to consider the subject. This high living often ap- breaches ruthless extravaganza, he says, the luxuries of yesterday being counted the necessities of to-day. A re- action Is bound to come, and when 1t does 1t will be attended by disaster. No one can doubt that Americans, as rule, live well. But they can afford to. Some of them are spending all they make, some more than they make, but others have accounts in the savings banks to show that they are not un- mindful of the possible rainy day" ahead of them. There are some fea- lures of present American social con- ditions which are distinctly gratifying and which are working directly against the dangers which appear on the sur face when a foreigner looks at some particular phase of life. The danger from the high living does not seem so important as the other suggestion that American prosperity is leading to in- 'fficiency and corruption. Tn bygone ;ears," MT. Mosely notes, "one was im- Iressed with the thorough way In which 'verything was done and every detail thought out, but the same Is not true to-day. On the contrary, there are
 igns that everything Is becoming slip 'hod. Work Is inetficiently done and
 ,adly finished" That is common .harge brought by foreigners against American methods. It Is said that we 10 not build for all time but for few ears only. It Is said that our prod tets are not comparable for nicety and precision with the output of the manu- 'acturing establishments of the old world. We have been fairly content with the results when American made goods have come into competition with those of other nations, and yet even this good record should not blind us If there Is such a marked deterioration In workmanship that 1t Is noticed by a careful observer. Mir. Mosely thinks everything overdone and overcrowded Everybody appears to be In too great a lurry, so that in the race for success and wealth many of the former good characteristics of the country are dis appearing. But the same things have been noted by travellers for hundred tears. Americans have always been In a hurry.

BIRDS CROSS THE ATLANTIC.
Some of Them Can Make Trip is
 Less than Nine Hours.

some or Them Can Make Trip fn
 Less than Nine Hours.
 The presence of American birds in this country raises the interesting question, How do they cross the inter vening 2,00O miles of ocean? Can we suppose a bird Is capable of sustained flight for sufficiently long period to accomplish this? On the supposition that the yellow shank can fly at the rate of 150 miles an hour 1t would ac- complish the distance In fourteen hours. And then 1t must be remem- bered that this bird, being a wader, would be able to rest from time to time on the water.
 AS regards the rate of flight attained by birds in their migratory journeys, some interesting computations are to be found in Katke's "Heligoland as an Ornithological Observatory" His fig- ures are 125 miles an hour for the northern blue throat and 245 for the Virginia ployer. At the last rate the Atlantic could be crossed in about eight and three-quarter hours. Some six oth- CT American birds, including the red. crested snipe and Eskimo curlew, are recorded from the Sicily Islands.
 Other American birds, including the yellow-bllled cuckoo, have been record ed in Ireland. And In connection with this crossing of the Atlantic by Amer. lean birds it is interesting to note an apparent attempt to cross in the oppo- site direction. In British association report for 1887 we read:
 At Rathtlin O'Birne (West Done gaD immense flocks of birds-starlings, thrushes and fieldfares-passed west from Dec. Is to 23. The nearest land to the west of this rock island Is Amer. lea. This Is not an isolated occurrence. The westerly flight of land birds at stations of the west coast of Ireland has been noticed on other occasions"
 It would be interesting to know If any of these enterprlslng migrants ever reached the other side.-London Globe.

The Hessians Played,

It Is a matter of record that upon the first official celebration of Inde- pendence day by the Continental Con- gress music was secured for the occa- sion by forcing the Hessian band, which had been captured by George Washington at Trenton in the previous December, to play in the public square all day, to the great delight and amuse- ment of the people. It Is also stated that these involuntary celebrants were obliged to practice appropriate airs for three weeks previously In order that they could not plead ignorance as an excuse.

A committee of English and Ameri- can admirers of the poets Keats and Shelley have purchased the house In Rome in which Keats died, in 1921. Shelley, who occupied a house oppo- site, was drowned in 1922. It Is plan ned to make the Keats house a memo rial of the two poets, and to gather In 1t a collection of books, manuscripts and portraits relating to them and their works. The memorial association also purposes assuming the care of the graves of the poets at the Protestant cemetery In Rome.

 Young Harrington realized, as never before n his life, the absolute futility of human speech.

 "This1l do it." he said, and, with a glance of purpose, brought out a busi- ness-llke looking pocket knife.
 The Flapper gave little scream and clutched 1t.
 "Oh, mol" she remonstrated excited ly. Not that! I'm very supersti- tious," she explained. And to cut a bootlace means-means a murder In the house!"
 "Oh, does it?" he growled. "1 al most wish"
 "What"
 "I almost wish you weren't supersti- tious, of course," he said desperately.
 Would the girl keep him In this ridic- ulous position until dinner time? He chafed. Worst of all, was Hazel to come In and find him still here? It was unbearable! For what seemed hours he stood, inwardly raging, while that odious and destable child fidgeted and sighed over the lace At last i!
 "Ah." she exclaimed, that's done 1t 1! I remembered the trick-1m 80 sorry, Mir. Harrington"
 "I'm so sorry, MT. Harrington" Her speech was echoed by Hazel, who flut- tered in as her sister rose to her feet. "Oh, am so sorry! It wasn't my fault -a little boy I met in the lane-he'd lost his way"-she was the picture Of pink-cheeked penitence, and altogether adorable-"and 1 took him homeland then 1t was the wrong address, and 1t took us hours to find the right one. Oh"-she lifted bewitching, troubled eyes-'I thought I'd never be back"
 "I thought so" responded Ted Har- rington, seemingly unconscious that he was still holding her hand.
 She murmured, Ut was good of you to wait so long"
 You're worth waiting for longer than that" he declared, and the Flap per, remarking aloud to no one In par ticular that she must see about some fresh tea, plunged out of the drawing room, her bootlace trailing behind her.
 She was not at all bad youngster, as her future brother-in-law told her.
 "You may well say that" observed the Flapper, serenely. If 1t hadn't been for me you'd have gone back to your horrible North without ever find Ing out how awfully much Hazel liked you. And how cross you were about that knot! Any one would have thought" she wound up with righteous indignation, that had tied you up on purpose "-Phlladelphia Telegraph.

 ''Then won't you have-have another cake? You haven't tried one of these little pink ones with cherries on the top. They're awfully nice. Hazel made them"
 Young Harrington's face darkened.
 "I won't have any more, thanks" he enunciated, with great distinctness And I'm afraid I must really be"
 "Oh, don't go yeti" pleaded the Flap per.

THE WEALTH OF POVERTY.

Wealth bides with poverty. The wildins
 rose,
 Or little violet nestling by the stream, 'Tis these that set the gazing eyes
 a-dream, Not all the beauties of the garden-close. 'Tis not in mighty tempest where 1t blows, Nor in the sea that shouts to cloud and
 sail,
 That music lives, but In the nightingale, The wee, brown bird that sings at dusk
 its woes. Yea, and the crowns of happiness and
 love,
 Grace not the troubled brows of king
 and queen; But, Fate's free gifts, they deck the
 hearts that move In lowly state amid the quiet scene. Iris not rich Croesus, owner of the sod, But passing beggar hath the peace of

NEW STAR ON THE FLAG.

The War Department has ordered the alteration of the flag made nee essary by the admission of Oklahoma into the Union, now an aggregation of forty-slx States. The department has also fixed on the spot for the new star, and now flagmakers are hard at work preparing new banners with an addi- tional star in the lower right-hand cor ner. It is now in order for every patri- otic American either to provide himself with a new flag or to add star to the old one.

Fertility of Cuban Soil.

Cuban soil Is so fertile that at the present time the cane field Is planted only about once in ten years. Experi- enced American growers say that there Is no necessity to plant more than once if care Is taken in cutting the cane at harvest time not to pull up any of the roots, as the new cane will imme- diately sprout from these. Ten tons of cane produce one ton of sugar if treated by the latest mechanical proc esses. A plantation of 1000 acres may yield 5000 tons of sugar under fairly favorable conditions.
