The fact that pneumonia might be

the patient plenty OF air. In one large

kept there day and night. When your

into which the patient may be moved

thorough ventilation Of the sick.

all pictures. hangings and other Inn
pedimenta should be taken out Of both
rooms.
An attack OF pneumonia begins in
manner which suggests a very bad
cold The patient has a chill and
fever and suffers from pains In the
side. A cough soon appears, and the
breath becomes short and quick. The
valiant battle Of the overworked heart
is indicated by quick pulse and flush
ed cheeks. Soon there are signs Of
great exhaustion. with headache, sleep
lessness and tsometimes) delirium.
During all of this period the blood Is
waging tremendous war upon the In
vading germs. If 1t Is destined to lose,
the exhaustion will grow more and
more marked. and the patient will die.
But II 1t Is destined to win there will
come q time--it will be between the
fifth and the tenth day--when the pa
tient will suddenly seem brighter. The
temperature will fall, the breathing
will be more regular, and the violent
jumping OF the pulse will cease. When
this happens, 1t Is sign that the bat
tie Is won.--Delineator

Sailors, superstltions.

1t is common belief among sailors
that ship which has been sunk and
raised again is haunted by the ghosts
Of those who were drowned In her.
Some years ago large emigrant
steamer was sunk in the Mediterra-
mean. and over 800 lives were lost,
Thousands were spent In raising the
vessel She was brought home and
reftted, but has never since been used.
1t is impossible to keep crew. The
men declare that every night the great
hull rings with the screams and groans
Of the multitude who sank, like rats
in a trap, to the bottom Of sixty feet
of stormy sea.--Strand Magazine.

Cough Remedy.

~S&8es AN~@~@ge
"As long ago as ! can remember
my mother was faithful user and
friend Of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, but never in my life have real
lied its true value until now," writes
Prof. H. A. Howell, of Howell's
American School, Havana, Cuba. "On
the night Of February 3rd our baby
was taken sick with very severe
cold, the next day was worse and the
following night his condition was
desperate. He could not lie down
and It was necessary to have him in
the arms every moment. Even then
his breathing was difficult. I did not
think he would live until morning AT
last ! thought Of my mothers remedy,
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy which
we gave, and 1t afforded prompt re-
lief, and now, three days later, he
has fully recovered. Under the cir
cumstances ! would not hesitate a

Cough Remedy, and that only, saved
the life Of our dear little boy" For

suit for alleged divorce from the sena-

The evidence was presented to the
grand jury by Assistant District Attor-
ney Caravan. Edward Roland. the SEN
ator's ex-valet, land Edward O.. Hafe-
ley. a printer. were also witnesses be-
fore the grand jury.
1t was chiefly Mr.. Hafeley's evidence
which caused the failure of the wo-
mans case against the senator and
brought about her arrest and commit
ment under orders of Judge O'Gorman
who heard the evidence In the divorce
case. Mr.. Hafeley printed the blank
forms of the marriage certificate
which Miss Wood offered in court fill
ed out to prove that she had been
married to the senator. Mr.. Hafeley
testified that these blanks were not
printed until three months after the
date on which Miss Wood alleged that

Wealth in Wall Street.

Wall street is one of the shortest
streets in the city, although 1t Is great
in historical events, having, cnlel OF
all, been the scene of the nrst IN
auguration Of Washington. But al
though short, it is the richest street IN
America and perhaps in the world.
while 1t gives its name to the hnanciai
district which constitutes one or the
four mightiest international money
markets.
The assessed valuation of the real
estate in Wall street, from Broadway
to the East river, amounts to $685.
$4,000, while the total assessed valua-
ton of the real estate in the financial
district, including Wall street amounts
to more than 5000, 100000.
More business is transacted in wall
street in a single day than in any
other part of the Western hemisphere.
But this business is done almost ex-
clusively in paper representatives of
property and products. 1t Is none the
less, and perhaps all the more impor-
tant on that account. wall street is
the clearing house of the country, the
place where the movement of products
and securities from producers to con-
sumers is carried on and the promo
tions of the continent are financed.
The actual population of this dis
trict is an infinitesimal part of the
population Of Greater New York, and
yet curing IDe nOuTS DttWtSH anu
it contains within it's narrow streets
and in its towering palaces Of business
hundreds of thousands Of busy peo-
pie, constituting a greater congestion
of population within a narrow area
than exists in probably any other
part of the world.
Now Wall street is essentially the
trustee of other peoples property. the
custodian of other peoples money, the
steward of other peoples estates, and
as such it occupies position of in
innate relationship to the rest of the
country. the position of high response
bility. Nowhere else in the country is
money handled with less loss through
dishonesty. Nowhere else has the
spoken promise and oral agreement a
greater binding force. Nowhere else
should there be a larger degree of
fidelity to trusts, of strict professional
honor. and of greater obedience to
law. for every transaction of Wall
street. every security dealt in, and
every trade consummated there. would
be valueless unless it had behind it
the supremacy Of law and order
