SpHtinir In Public Places. '
People who have no sense of pro
priety or regard for the comfort of
others and jndulge in the habit of
spitting An public places, including
treetera and on the sidewalks, may
yet be convinced that they are en
couraging the spread of disease. It
baa been conclusively shown that a
hlgb d"ath riU !s !":vored by imlis
crlmlnlte spitting, says an exchange.
The campaign of education with
egara VQ this matter ought to be
kept up, for, most of the people who
are arrested for the offense do not
understand wh the authorities In
trefere with them, and It would not
be ' possible to give every offender
the benefit of the lesson at the po
lice Btation, even if the police were
to - devote their ,ntlre attention to
catching lawbreakers of this class.
In the course of Its effort to re

Infants under one year of age', Bir
mingham, England, has carried on a
number of sanitary Investigations.
One of the most Important had as
Its object the discovery of the ex
acj danger from public spitting.
J Deposits on the pavement were ex
amlned In a large number of in
stances, and it was found that 7 per
cent of the people who carelessly
spat as they passed along the streets
left virulent germs of consumption
behind them to be carried home by

indiscriminate spitting is unnec
essary, and aside from the danger
,thb offense to decency and the be
fotillng of public places It Is often
unwholesome to the person who in

People who are afflicted with tu
berculosls, whether they are aware
cf, the fact or not, are likely to be

; He Wasn't an Exception.
It was marribd men's night at the
revival meeting. "Let all you hus
bands who have troubles In your
niihdii stand up!" shouted the emotion
al preaches at the heigh of his spasm.
Instantly every man in the church rose
to 1 his feet except one. "Ah!" ex

this lone sitter, who occupied a chair
near the door nnd apart from the
others. "Vou are oue'ln a million."

The Abduction.
An Englishman from the rilral dis

drew up "in a four wheeler' opposite
the British museum and, having alight
ed,' timidly approached the cabman nnd
tendered him 1 shilling and 0 pennies
as his fare. .

horse and drove ' frantically away.

breath, soon came up with the cab.
and cabby mentally bade goodby to
the half sovereign.
"I ahVt got nothin' of his," said the
driver, turning appeallngly to the policeman.-
"Yes, he hev!" yelled the flustered
countryman. "Ye ran away wi' me

Sure enough, there was the old lady
still In the cab and staring, pale with
fright, at the crowd and policeman.

A Case Where It Was Applied Not
Wieelybut Too Well.
An extremely ludicrous lucldent oc
curred In a fashionable church on a re
cent Sunday. A yauug lady, evldently
a stranger, of, a naturally pale com-;
plexlon, accidentally let her handker-:
chief fall on the flior. By repeatedly
stooping to reach It furtively she nt-'
tracked the notice of-a gentleman In
the pew behind, wlio thought she was
about to faint . V
With ILe best of -motives, therefore, j
he to:l; her gently under the arms and!
raised her up. 'greatly to her surprise.
As she tried to release herself another 5
gentleman went to her assistance, uml
before the :"oui:g lady knew what was
the matter they were moving her out
Into the aisle.
Naturally she was too much astou- i
Ished to (lad words for protest, and '
they had managed to half carry, half l
lead, her some distance when she dl-
gentleman In a pew, as if asking blm ,
to help also, ne, too, promptly rose '.
from his seat and helped to lift her un V
and carry her Into the vestry room. .
There, a the three officious bat well.
meaning gentlemen were trying to force!
the now thoroughly exasperated lady!
Into an armchair, she recovered hei
powers of speech, and the verbal ex
plosion that followed, while it cleared
away tbe misunderstanding, moved the
very meek men who pasped out of the
vestry to mutter in unison, "Nevet
again!" x

Tlu Wcy It Helps. I
When Sir Andrew Clark, Mr.-sGhidt-
stone's physician, recommended inpa
tient to drink wine the latter expressed
some surprise, saying he thought Sir
Andrew was a temperance doctor, fc
which Sir Andrew Clark replied: ,
"Oh, wjnejdoea sometimes help you
to get throuih jork. Fori instance1, I
have often twenty letters to answer
after dinner, aud a pint of champagne
is a great help."
"Indeed," said the patient, "does a
pint of champagne really help yon to
answer the tweuty letters?"
"No, no!" said Sir Andrew. "But
when I've had a pint of champagne I
don't enre a rap whether I answer them
