KING PETER IN ITALY.

Old King Peter of Serbia has left
the army and taken asylum in Italy,
practically as a deposed monarch. He
has put up a splendid fight with a
small army and if the veil were to be
drawn over the past, he would receive
the fearful sympathy of all the world.
II has to be borne in mind, however,
that he walked into office over the
dead body of monarch. assassinated
for his benefit. His grand eutree was
about as pleasing as that of Huerta.
OF course Peter did not hide in an al
ley and rush out on the man in the
way II was all done by hired help
and he stepped in and took the crown
and other yaluables. As before noted
the saving clause in the career OF
Peter has been his splendid courage in

Rachitis inflammation OF the spine)
is the older medical name for ricketts,.
OF course the disease involves all
parts OF the body as we'll as the bones
Of the spine.
In large cities the majority of chill
dren in the crowded districts show
more or less ricketts,. But the disease
occurs very frequently in children Of
well-to-do families in which ili-advised
methods of feeding prevail Ricketts,
seems particularly common in negro
children in America mot in the trop-
ics); we believe the explanation for
this is the common use of condensed
milk in this country for raising negro
babies. Nest of the bony .deformities
noticed in negroes are attributable to
ricketts, in childhood.
In ricketts, the homes are defciently
supplied with mineral matter, the per
cent Of ash In the bones being often az
low as % per cent of the normal
(which is about one-third of the sub
stance Of the bone in health.}
The causes Of ricketts,. as definitely
as may be stated, are u improper
food. such as condensed milk. matted
milk and the various so-called infant
foods which are given without fresh
cows milk: probably also % lack of
outdoor air and sunshine; 81 hered-
itary tendency transmitted chiefly by
the mother.
Usually the disease develops in the
colder part OF the year when children
are not taken out for the daily airing.
Signs of ricketts, rarely appear until
after the age Of three months, and in
most cases not until the latter part of
the first year or the first half of the
second year.
Among the suggestive symptoms we
can mention but few Restlessness,
head rolling, inability TO support the
head. rubbing OF OF the hair on the
back OF head, preference to lie on one

Coral Earring-By Donald Chamberlin.

A man ana woman sat in an tfanan
restaurant in New York. At near
table sat a man with pointed beard.
The couple were speaking Of Naples.
The man with the pointed beard sat
gazing at a coral earring the woman
wore with an evident interest. He
also listened to the couples converse
ton. When they turned their talk
from Naples to Milan be raised his
glass toward the man and said:
Pardon me, sign0r; l am a citizen

the place of my home, I cannot re-
frain from asking him to drink with
me to the finest city in the world. l

Both The man and the woman raised
their glasses and drank TO "the finest
city in the world" and the proposer OF
the toast was invited to Join them at
their table. 1t was not long before
they had become so pleased with each
other that an exchange OF cards was
made. The man with the pointed
beard was Andrea Nfichelli, The 9th
ers were Signer and Signora Carelh.
Micbeili was familiar with all italian
cities except Naples, where he said he
had never been. Carelli though he
admitted he had been there often, did
not like the place, declaring it to be
the worst city in the world.

"Criminality," was the reply.
''Now ] think OF IT," said Michelh,
mot long ago our Milan journals were
full of a murder in which beautiful
woman high IN the social circle was
made away with, and at the same
time a lot Of valuable jewels were
taken"
While saying this Michelli fixed his
eve on that of Signor Carelli. The
latter returned it with the same fixed
ness till Michellts gaze was removed; ;
then the conversation fell into other
channels. Michelli called waiter and
asked if he could bring q certain kind
of wine from the south of Italy. The
wine was brought, and the party drank
to the king and queen of Italy. then
pursued their chat, drifting over the
peninsula for awhile. then taking up
the manners and customs Of the Amer
leans.
Carelli drank very little wine but
the signora was not sparing Of it. For
this reason her husband was the more
tacIturn Of the two, and the chat was
carried on between her and Michelli.
May ] ask" he said where sou
got those coral earrings? I have never
seen such beautiful carving"
The woman before replying looked
at her husband, then said that she had
been given them by her mother and
believed they had been cut in Paris.
