Tue public uuiiuings an over tne
city are again draped in mourning,
this time for Justice Waite, the late
chief justice for the I'nifed States.
The Waite obsequies, which were
simple but impofing. took place on
Wednesday at noon, in the ball of
the house of representatives. They :
were attended by both houses or
congress and the higher government
officials mho occupied the floor of
the house, while the public crslleries
were filled with the families of sen
ators aud representatives, two
tickets of admission having been
issued to each senator and member
of congress, for distribution. The
reserved galleries, such as the
president's the press and the
diplomatic, were occupied by those!
for whom they were set asid.
In the senate on Monday a bill
appropriating $o(K)0 to defray the
funeral expenses of the late chief
justice was passed without debate.
His remains were sent to Toledo,
accompanied by six of the associate
justices, a congressional committee
and part of the Ohio delegation in
congresa.
It is probable the house will begin
debate on the Mills tariff bill to-day
and that the discussion will last until
the last of May, when the measure

salvation of the world! I shudder
when I thi'ik of what this world
would be without thy gentle, refin
ing, ennobling influence. I bow at
thy shrine, acknowledging thy purity
and truth. There is nothiog, no,
nothing, so beautiful, so truo, so
perfect, as a woman! I reverence
and bow down before thee!" And
when he went home he said to the
woman who was so unfortunate as
to be his wife -"What did you let
. . . , i . !
the fire get so low foi? You knew
I'd come home half froze. You're!
just like the rest of the women, you
haven I a Ihougut ocyona your nose,
Sti'r around and get me a cup of hot
tea, can't you? See if you can do
that much for a fellow. I'd just like
to know what you women think
you're good for anyhow."

Kerosene and Diphtheria.
A welbhnotvn doctor snys that
the fumes of keroKcne, when a lamp
is turned low. nie likely to causu
diphtheria. The New York board
of health, a few ye.iis ago, decided
that to this, more than any other
cause, the prevalence of this disease
was to be attributed. This is given
as accounting for the fact that diph
theria generally begins to spread
with (he advent of short days and
long nights. Children dislike to go
to bed in the dark, and the kind
mother lets tho lamp remain iu the
bedroom, usually turning down the
flame, so that the light shall not
keep the child awake. Many tad
room .no- thns semi lighted at
night, and the windows being
closed, or raih-ed but slightly, the
atmospheric condition is simply
deathly. A turned-down kerosene
lamp is a magazine of deadly gas
