During the course o f a heated debate once in the house o f repre Estimates Furnished sentatives sharp words were ex l changed between a congressman * from New York and one from Mis- siasippi. A challenge waa delivered and accepted, and as both were c^oeoeoeoeoeoeoeoeoeoeoeoe courageous and determined a bloody meeting seemed imminent. Friends interposed, but in vain. The men were resolute, and neither Successors to would yield to the suggestion o f an amicable arrangement. As a last resort Senator Lamar was called in to save the situation. He realized that no ordinary methods would serve his purpose and so resorted to strategy. The principals in the proposed duel are still living, so I will call the New Yorker Jones and the Mississippian Smith. Senator Lamar called on the New Yorker, and after the usual civili ties had been exchanged he said: "Jones, F re come here to do yon a friendly tarn.

Diphtheria, which waa formerly one o f the most fatal o f the dis eases o f children, baa been robbed by antitoxin o f much o f its death dealing power. Nevertheleas it is still a scourge o f childhood. It is an infectious and contagious disease that occurs for the most part in children, although adults also may suffer. It is due to the presence o f a bacillus that lodges and develops on the mucous mem brane o f the respiratory passages, where it causes inflammation and the growth o f fibrous, feltlike sheet which covers the surface. This sheet is the so called false membrane, the visible evidence of the disease, in itself not dangerous except when it forms in the larynx. In that case it threatens death from choking. The real disease is the constitutional affection— fever, de lirium end depression, due to poi soning by the bacillary excretions, the toxin, absorbed into the blood from the mucous membranes where the bacilli have lodged. Diphtheria is one o f the most contagious o f diseases, although, aa in the case with other similar affec tions, not all who are exposed suf fer. It prevails chiefly where filth exists and where the air is charged with emanations from decaying matter, with sewer gas, illuminat ing gaa or exhalations from many persona crowded together in unven tilated rooms. Authorities formerly held that the germs could linger for a long time in carpets, upholstered toys, especially woolly lambs and Teddy bears, hooks, and so forth, but that is now doubted by many sani tarians, who contend that disinfec tion o f the room in which a child has been sick with diphtheria or disinfection of his playthings is un necessary. Still, so long as a donbt exists it is obviously safer to disin fect. It is qu|te certain, however, that cats and dogs and probably birds, such as parrots, may catch diphtheria from a tick child and so assist in the spread o f the disease. The one sovereign remedy for diphtheria is antitoxin, hut it mast be given early to be certainly cura tive. For this reason an early diag nosis is Imperative. The physician should be called at once to any child who has a sore throat if his throat is seen to be red or covered with whilish dots or streaks or patches o f membrane. l a l riy treatment not only re moves the danger o f suffocation from the growth o f membrane in the larynx, but also makes much less probable the occurrence o f the paralysis that i> often such a dis tressing sequel o f neglected or tar dily treated diphtheria.— Youth's Companion. % Hotel Bills In England. The author o f "Portugal Old and N ew " finds fault with English hotel keepers for using a printed form o f bill on which the plain require ments o f a simple traveler are lost amid a multitude o f items. The re sult is that when a guest pays for a day's and a night's lodging he is positively almost ashamed at find ing due registry o f his having want ed neither liquors nor stationery nor warm baths nor douche baths nor shower baths nor pots o f jam nor the hotel hairdresser and is apt to reflect what a poor, shuffling im postor o f a guest he is to have had so few requirements. Unappreciated Sympathy. A passenger who escaped unin jured from a serious railway smash, seeing s fellow traveler searching anxiously among the wreckage with a lantern, offered to assist in the search and, thinking the old man had lost hia wife, asked in sympa thetic tones, “ What part o f the train was she in ?** Raising hia lan tern and glaring at the kindly dis posed passenger, the old man shout ed with indignant distinctness that triumphed over physical infirmity: “ She, sir, she! I am looking fo r my teeth!” ________________ Happin«** Impossible. “ Mr. and Mrs. Wicherly seem to be such a happy couple.” “ I think they merely pretend to be happy." “ Why do yon sav that ? Have you any reason for believing they don’t get along well together?” “ Oh, they may get along all right | together, hut they certainly can’t * be happy. She’s getting stout, and he’s beginning to lose his hair."— Chicago Record-Herald. Equal tc tha Oaaalian. “ Y ou ’ re no judge o f literature ot rhetoric, Sam.
