| b. ii.
Some ingenious individual has CIV
en- a meaning to the location Of the
postage stamp on letter. For eX-
ample, when Il stamp is inverted on
the right hand upper corner it means
the person written to is TO write no
more If the stamp be placed on the
| left hand upper corner and inverted,
then the writer declares his affec-
ton for the receiver Of the letter
! When the stamp is in the centre at
the top it signifies an affirmative ans
swer to question, and when it IS at
the bottom it is the negative. Should
the stamp be on the right hand cor
ner at the right angle it asks il the
receiver of the letter loves the send
err, and in the left hand corner means
that the writer hates the other. There
is shade of difference between de-
string ones acquaintance and friend
ship; for example, the stamp at the
upper corner at the right expresses
the former and on the lower left hand
corner means the latter. The learned
in this language request their CORES
pondents to accept their love by plac-
ing the stamp on line with the sur
name. and response is made, if the
party addressed be engaged, by plac
ing the stamp in the same place or
reversing it. The writer may wish
to say farewell to his sweetheart or
vice versa, and does so by placing
the stamp straight up and down in
the left hand corner.

and what is IL Ike
MOTHER.
It is supposed to have been brought
| to America by immigrants from
Northern Europe. Only 900 cases
were known in the five years ending
1904, but in the five years ending
1903 not less than 5000 cases were
reported, nearly two-thirds of them in
the United States, where nearly eV-
cry State was reached. Through is
olation and other precautions, the
disease seems 10. be diminishing.
Massachusetts had 923 cases in 1909,
554 in 1910, but only III in the first
eight months OF 1911. The disease
has been traced to very minute Or
ganism-so minute as to pass through
earthenware-that is taken into the
blood through the mucous membrane
of the nose It's effects are very often
serious. 1t attacks children and IN
fants. and while the death rate is
low, it is very liable to result i'll some
permanent deformity. 1t begins with
fever vomiting and diarrheia, paral-
ysis of some groups Of muscles-as of
an arm or leg-following in few
hours. There may be partial recov-
cry from the paralysis, but, the mus
Giles affected begin to atrophy, and
deformity is very probable. An cpl
zootic paralysis in pigs and other
animals may be the same disease
and tend to spread it.
