Mosquitoes are now charged with
communicating erysipelas as well as
malaria and yellow fever. A New
York physician has issued a death
certificate in the case of a 14 months’
old babe, in which he says “Death
was caused by erysipelas due to the
bite of a mosquito.’’ It is only fair
to the mosquito to record that the
board of health officers refused to
accept the certificate until a coro
ner’s physician had investigated and
concluded that there was no other
apparent cause for the death than
the mosquito bite.—Youth’s Compan

ITere’s a curious story of love and
courtship. About two years ago, says
the Athens (Ga.) News, a young gentle
man of this city, while in Savannah, got
into a street ear with a heavy umbrella
under his arm. Like a great many
other careless people, he held it at a
dangerous angle, with the point stick
ing out behind him, and ere long the car
gave a lurch and a lady just behind him
emitted an ear-«plittiugscream. Every
body jumped and looked, and to his
horror the young man found that the
point of his umbrella had come in con
tact with the nose of the young lady
seated just behind him. Of course, he
Apologized, or tried, but it was like
apologizing for murder over the body
of the victim, for the lady’s nose was
bleeding and she was almost in con
vulsions with pain.
The car was stopped at the next cor
ner, whore there happened to be a drug
store, and the young man. aided and
abetted by one or two elderly ladies,
who at once took a lively interest in the
case, helped the young lady off and into
the store and posted off after a doctor.
One was found and the unlucky nose
wivs soon put in working order, and the
owner. ntfendod by the r.?arrie 1 ladies,
was sent home in a carriage.
The young man took her address nrd
hunted up a mutual acquaintance, with
whom he called the next day to see how
the nose, was getting along. The nose
did well, so did the young man. for by
the time the nose was out of danger he
had got in the habit of calling, so that it
became natural for him to step around
in the evening. So in the course of
time they were married, and she is the
only lady in the United States whose
courtship began by a punch in the nose
from her future husband.
