sore throat" and the ike until lis
present name was given the disease
by the great French physician, Trous

teenth century.
Diphtheria is caused by the growth
usually In the throat, nose, or wind
pipe, OF germ known as the Kieba
koefftsr bacillus. The presence Of
the diphtheria parts causes the lorna.

The germ multplies In this mem
brane and at the same time throws
off a powerful poison or toxin which
can cause death when absorbed by
the body In sufficient quantities.

the exception of the shoulder sleeves,
Is cut in one piece. 1t has the slight.

length coat flares prettily. The skirt
opens in the back and slot scam

smartness to this smart little "trotter"

Guns of Gold.

The Gaekwar of Baroda. an Indian
prince, has a battery of artillery con-
sisting of gold and silver guns. There
are four guns. two gold and two of
silver. The gold guns were made in
1874 by an artisan of Lakha, who
worked on them for five years. They
weigh 400 pounds each, and except
for the steel lining are of solid gold.
They are mounted on gun-carriages
of carved wood. overlaid with silver.
In 1876, when the Gaekwar went to
Bombay to meet the prince of Wales.
he took the gold guns with him to
salute the prince. and that was tho
only occasion on which they have
been allowed to leave the State Of
Baroda.-Tid Bits.

Fined if He Did, Fined if He Didn't.

"Alexico is a land of extremes"
remarked William Bridger, formerly
of Monterey, at the New Willard.
Some months ago when one Of the
numerous armies of soldiers invaded
Monterey, they proceeded to raise
money in every possible way. The
commanding officer hit upon unique
plan of levying tribute. He made
round of the more pretentious stores,
and of the first merchant he visited
demanded to know Where is your
cat?' The merchant had to admit
he didn't have any, whereupon the
new tax collector declared that every
place of business must have a cat to
keep down the rats, which were
spreading disease. He fined the mer-
chant s100 which was paid.
"A little farther on he found an"
other store minus cat, and for the
same reason extracted another trib-
ute. The first merchant, who had re-
luctantly given up his money, thought
he might help others out. so he sent
word to a friend in another part of
the town to get hold of cat, for the
absence of one would cost money.
When the latter merchant was ap-
preached and asked to show his cat it
was promptly displayed, whereupon
the officer with remarkable resource
fulness, insisted that cats were the
worst carriers of disease known
among the animal kingdom and he
was promptly fined 500 for keeping
a cat."-Washingt Post.

Shake the soil from the roots and
store the bulbs in cool, shady place
where they will ripen and cure. When
the old leaves and roots are thor
oughly dry they may be easily rubbed
off and the clusters of bulbs divided.
The bulbs may then be planted in the
same manner as the original bulbs.
In this way the stock may be in
creased in few years.
Naturalizing the Narcissus.
The narcissus often becomes nat
uralized when planted in the sod or
partial shade, where it will continue
to grow, blossom, and multiply for
many years without further attention.
Simply make a small hole in the soil
five or six inches deep, insert the bulb
pointed-end up, press the soil over the
top, and nature will do the rest. For
naturalizing, avoid planting in rows OF
rigid geometrical figures. A good
plan is to scatter the bulbs like seed
and plant where they fall. This
method of planting is extensively fol.
lowed in the home grounds and parks
of England and other countries in
Europe. In portions or North Caro-.
lima, on large estates along the James
river in Virginia, and in old gardens
IN New Englands, narcissuses that
were planted over half a century ago
are still growing vigorously and every
spring produce beautiful displays OF
blossoms.
