Blood Poisoning.

By the term blood-poisoning is meant
the presence in the blood Of the germs
Of putrefaction or suppuration, or of
the poisonous products of these germs.
1t Is necessary to define the expression
at the beginning, for strictly speaking
every form of poisoning, including alco-
holic intoxication, is blood-poisoning.
There are three distinct forms Of
od-poisoning. In one the germs Of
putrefaction are circulating in the blood
which the symptoms Of the disease de-
pend; in the second the blood-contained
germs are those which cause pus-form-
alton, and they also manufacture poi
son which produces the disease; in the
third form the bacteria, either Of pu-
trefaction or of suppuration, are not in
the blood but on the surface Of the
body, and the symptoms are due to the
absorption of the poison elaborated by
them.
The toxin, as this bacteria produced
poison Is called, Is in this last instance
imported, while in the first two cases
mentioned it is, as it were, of domestic
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. obtained more
easily and In greater quantity.
These three forms are called in med
zeal language, septemia, pyemia and sa-
premia, respectively, meaning septic
germs In the blood, pus in the blood,
and the products Of putrefaction in the
blood
The pyemic form is characterized by
irregular chills, fever and sweating
and the formation Of assesses in vari-
GUS parts Of the body. It Is very COM
monty fatal. Septemia resembles pye-
mia in its symptoms, except that the
fever is more continuous, not being in
terrupted by chills as 1t is in pyemia,
and there IL no formation Of assesses.
The severer forms Of septemia are al
most always fatal, but the disease oc-
ours often In milder type, in which the
chief symptoms are high fever, head
ache, and depression Of the vital forces
Sapremia resembles septemia in It's
symptoms, as it naturally should, since
both these forms Of blood-poisoning are
caused by the same poison, in one case
formed outside of the body and absorb
ed by the tissues, in the other produced
by the bacteria In the blood and tissues
Sapremia may terminate fatally, but it
yields more readily to treatment. This
consists in management Of the wound,
opening it up to the air, cutting away
the fostering parts, cleansing the sur
face thoroughly, and treating it with
antiseptics.

Everything had gone wrong In the
house that day.
The cleaning was only half done, the
place was upside down, the butchers
boy came late, the dinner was misera-
bly, cooked.
She expected him to be cross. He
had every right to be cross, she knew.
She had mismanaged everything She
was just failure.
And she threw her arms around his
neck, sobbing.
But the man was more Of a man than
she thought. He did not speak one I'M
pleasant word. He did not utter sin
gle syllable of blame. He did not even
frOwn the least bit.
Instead, he put his arms around her
and held her close, and said:
Cheer up, little woman. It's all
right"
It might have been because he dis
liked scene, but it wasn't. 1t might
have been because he understood that
disagreeable words would not make
things any better, but it wasn't that,
either.
1t was because he was man with
heart big enough to know the magic
Of kind word
Poets and authors have written vol
umes about kind words, but none of
them nor all of them have ever come
anywhere near expressing all the beau
ty, all the power, all the comfort that
lives in one little word of kindness
The world was a different place to
that woman. Her tiredness vanished.
Her tears were dried. Her disappoint-
ment in herself was taken away Her
love for her husband was magnified a
thousandfold. There was only sunshine
where there had been clouds.
It was little bit Of heaven for her.
And it cost the man-nothing.-C

MAN AND THE BETTING GAME.

He Who "Plays System" at the
Race Track Is Certain to Lose.
Here is an interesting letter:
II play the nags once in while. l
think l have pretty fair system and
was just thinking of trying 1T when
ran across an article which caused Inc
to hesitate. If man sticks to his sys-
tenn, has control of himself and is not
a hog, but satisfied with modest wa
ger, Is there no chance Of success? Do
you think it impossible to win by a
system? If there any reason why a
man cannot keep decent and still play
the gamer
Ever since Doomed won the first Der
by in England system after system has
been devised for beating the races, "
says the New York Press. No system
not a single one-has ever succeeded
In the long run. I have figured out
that there are twenty-seven chances to
one against you always in field of ten
horses. The best system ever known
is at the mercy of the betting ring.
There are not bookmakers enough in
the United States to lay against a sys-
TEN. Several years ago man started
with SIS bet, doubled it after each
loss and returned to the original SIS
after each winning For a while he
prospered amazingly, playing nothing
but the favorite, but in the end he
went broke.
II q man with system could bet
against the United States treasury he
could win. At Sheepshead Bay four
teen favorites lost in succession. The
fifteenth started at odds Of 3 to l and
was an easy winner. Now, figure out
the predicament Of the man with the
system. Starting with S. and doubling
after each loss he found it necessary
to 20 into the ring and bet the sum Of
sS1 ,92O. He stood then loser Of $751;
945. If he could have bet on the fif-
teenth favorite he would have had at
issue over $163, 900. Now, anybody
who knows the betting ring knows that
1t would be utterly impossible for a
dozen Joe Vendigs to place practically
S82, 900 at 3 to 1. Buff it could have
been placed the system man would
have won $246,OO0.
