BUTTERcUP PICKING PERIL.
Philadelphia Physician Says There Is
Disease In the Perfume.

That the picking of buttercups is in
furious to the health of children is the
belief of Dr. W. W. Chalfante of Phil
adelphia. DIR. Chalfante declares that
in, many instances so called cases of
measles are not measles at all. but are
the effects of the gathering of butter
cups and the inhaling of their per-
fume
lin Germany and Holland there are
laws forbidding the growing and pick
ing of buttercups." said the physician
the other day, land the punishment is
severe | understand, ITO the violator.
The, reason for this law was that the
abundance of buttercups in those coun-
tries was such that epidemics of but
tercup fever came regularly, and in
some cases the disease proved fatal.

Usually 1t Is age rather than wisdom
that establishes man as the oracle
of q rural neighborhood. But some
times 1t is a sort of quaintness, q
readiness and an aptness in the ex-
preston of opinion, and often 1t re-
quires more judgment than is likely
to be found in most communities to
detect the difference between facility
of speech and that intellectual virtue
which the ancients regarded as sa-
pience. One night at social gather

You'd better stop pretty soon for

to feed your characters on stale fish
balls and candle-ends or on regular
turkey dinner, meal of some kind
is absolutely necessary.
The journey hasn't been so bad
thus far, and you needn't make it
much longer. Remember that the en-
gineer and the reader are human and

If your hero be poor make it all

ushering in the dawn of Christmas:
If he be rich, give him the usual
