Consistent.

'•You can't teach an old dog new tricks," said old Judge Dewey, of Yellow Mound City, when his wife begged him for the third time to remember to cat with his fork at her approaching dinner party "I'll try not to forget, my dear, hut I wasn't brought up to it. l'"olks ought to do what they aro brought up to."

JJo did not remember at the dinner party. His knife went to his mouth a dozen times. Next day, when tho family waa dining alone, tho old judge detected his youngest son, Frank, with bis knife .it liis lips. "Eating with your knife, sir? Leave the table!" thundered tho old judge. "You'll cat bread and milk till further orders." "Really, pupa, I think you aro too liard 011 poor Frankie," said Mrs. Dewey, as the little fellow left the table. Tho faces of tho elder boys and the grown up daughters showed that tiiey agreed with their mother. "lie ate with his knife,'' groivled the old man. "So did you at the dinner," retorted Mrs. Dewey, severely. "Don't 1 know it!" returned tho judge. Don't 1 know it! 1 eat with my knife because I was brought up to it, but that boy wasn't brought up to it. None of my children was brought up to it, and if I catch one of 'em doing it, as sure as I live, I'll lock 'em up 011 spoon victuals till they learn tho uso of a fork!"— Youth's Companion.

The Ni'w "finger" Prayer Hook. Henry Trowde, of Oxford university, lias designed a s-eries of prayer books, the novelty and merit of which consist alike in their diminutive size and the beauty of their binding. It is difiicult to lelieve that a hook of nearly 700 pages will go into the waistcoat pocket or into the purse, but. such is the delicacy of the workmanship and the compactness of the binding that no dilliculiv will be found in such a method of carriage. The tiny volume, iKiund in morocco and velvet, which Mr. l''rowde has called the "Finger" prayer book, weighs about three-quarters of an ounce, is only one inch in breadth, three and a half inches in length and one-third of an inch 111 thickness. To get 070 pages and two morocco covers into tho thickness of one-third of an inch is a marvel of jwj«.'r making and binding. One specimen is contrived to hang 011 the chatelaine a case is made of silver, consisting of a double cross, one for each of the velvet covers of the book, and this both adds to tho beauty of the volume and serves to keep it in a compact form. A ring is .added, which serves for attachment to a chain. A.n edition is also issued without the calendar and tho occasional services, thus reducing tho thickness by one-third and the weight to about half an ounce.— London Times.

A Peculiar Privilege.

It appears that only two persons enjoy the privilege of driving to tho Vatican with a 0110 horse vehicle. One of them is tho commissary general of the holy inquisition and tho other the Prussian ambassador accredited to tho Holy See. The latter's privilege owes its origin to rather anintorcslingcircumstanco. A Prussian ambassador some years ago drovo up one day in a single liorso carriage and preedited himself for admission at the gates of the Vatican leading into tho court yani but, in pursuance of their orders, lie was refused admission, cxcept 011 foot, by the Swiss guard. Being forced to yiold, lie complained with some bitterness to Cardinal Antonelli, secretary of state to Piu3 LX, who said he would refer the matter to his holiness. Pius IX, upon hearing of the incident, immediately gave orders that henccforth his excellency, the Prussian ambassador, was to be allowed admittance cum quocumque quad rupede.—Chicago Times.

Ventured a Surmise.

'"Susie-," said Willie to his sister, "what aro Blackfeet Indians?" "'What are what?" "Blackfeet Indians." "I don't know, I'm sure," said Susie, "what the -expression can mean, unless those wicked traders have been selling the poor Indians some of tho hosiery that is warranted not to fade."—Merchant

THE SPREAD OF INFLUENZA.

The Uccnril of (ho Kpldcraic In tho Pant and the

IOAAOUS

lifumpd Therefrom.

The questions with regard to influenza which are most calculated to interest the non-medical public are manifestly those which relate to tho principal or ordinary channels of its propagation, and to tho extent to which it may bo regarded as contagious. On these, unfortunately, there is very little to be said for tho histories of former epidemics are, in a great measure, contradictory in respect of both. In some instances jiersonal contagion has appeared to be at least highly probable, while in others it might almost be excluded.

As an example of tho latter class, it is recordi-d by Dr. Theophilus Thompson that. 011 the 2d of May, 1782, Admiral Kempeiifeldt, who was afterward lost by the sinking of the Royal George at Spithead, sailed from thence with a squadron of ships under his command. On the 20th of the month influenza appeared among tho crow of the Goliath, one of the ships of the squadron, and the crews of the remaining ships were afterwards affected. So many men were rendered unfit for duty that the squadron was obliged t. return into port about the second week in .'une, not having had any communication with the shoro in tho interval, and having cruised only between Brest and the Lizard.

If the disease were one of what is technically called long incubation—that is, one the symptoms of which do not make their appearance for a considerable time after the exposure to infection—the interval between the 2d and tho 29th of May, although unusually long even in such a case, might admit of explanation. But one of the most remarkable peculiarities of influenza appears to bo the extreme rapidity of its diffusion and the manner in which it attacks large numbers of people within a few hours of each other.

Another example, similar to tho last, was furnished by Lord Howe's fleet, which sailed from England for tho Dutch coast on the 6th of May. Towards the end of May the disorder appeared among the crew of the ltippon, and, two days later, among tho crew of tho Princess Amelia, The crews of other ships in the fleet were affected at different times, some not until their return to Portsmouth in the second week, of June. This fleet, like that of Admiral Kempenfeldt, had no communication with tho shore after leaving Portsmouth until it reached the Downs on its return, about the 3d or 4th of June.

An equally remarkable instance of an opposite kind was observed during the epidemic of 1S37, when the malady is lirst mentioned as having been prevalent in Lisbon and among the merchant ship ping in Portuguese and Spanish ports during the month of January. Karlv in February it appeared in the Russell, an English man-of-war, then at anchor in the Tagus, and the first man attacked had been exposed the greater part of tho duv in a boat and

011

shore. The disease

rapidly spread and affected eighty-four of the crew. In tho same year the Canopus, with G50 men, after three years of service on the Mediterranean station, left Malta 011 the 1st of January, and, after having stopped twenty-four hours at Gibraltar and a part of the day at Barcelona, reached Plymouth sound on the 1st of Februrry. The weather was cool and wet, and influenza was prevalent on shore, yet the crew continued in perfect health until tho 15th, when the epi'domic struck down two-thirds of the crew.

In March the disease reached such a height at Barcelona that business was almost entirely suspended, and in April the crew of the Childers were effected three or four days after she left that place. Sho arrived at Gibraltar, and next day obtained assistance from the Jasseur to weigh anchor,

011

account of

the weakness of her own crew. On the loth the disease broke out on tho Jasseur, the first man affected having leen one of the relief jKirty, so as to render it highly probable that his illness had been due to contagion.

Notwithstanding that instances similar to those last quoted have not been very uncommon, tho balance of probability is certainly opposed to tho belief that contagion furnishes tho ordinary mode of spreading tho disease. Many attempts have been made, in successive epidemics and in different countries, to frame hypotheses which might with some show of reason be held to afford an explanation of the facts, but these efforts have in no instance been entirely successful. The question of temperature can hardly be considered important in the case of a malady which lias prevailed in Russia during the winter, and, apparently by direct extension, in Venice and other Italian towns during tho subsequent spring and summer.

The authorities aro very generally agreed in asserting that influenza years have lHjen sickly years in other respects, and that contagious fevers, measles, smallpox arm other maladies have frequently preceded or followed tho le«8 serious epidemic. This fact if fact it be, does not in tho least tend to expel the obscurity by which the whole question is surrounded because we havo learned to regard oacli one of the maladies in question as the outcome of a sjccific contagion, as capable of reproducing itself, and itself only, and hence as standing in no conceivable casual relation to the others, unless, perhaps, that all alike might be rendered more severe by the prevalence of general unsanitary conditions, or by incidence upon a community many members of which were weakened by recent illness of another kind.— London Times. -S'

Rapid Transit to Matrimony. T. J. Munson, living a few miles from here in La Crosse county, should be credited with one of the shortest courtships on record. Last week he went to see the sights, and while eating dinner at one of the restaurants was smitten with the waiter girl, whom he engaged in conversation. In a few minutes they were friends, in an hour lovers, and before sundown were man and wife, he returning Saturday night with his bride, having been gone from home but three days. —Black River (Wis.) Dispatch.

'iho Boston Fire.

Fire ami Water gives an account of tho recent conflagration in Bostion, which may be taken as coming from an expert, and mentions a few interesting points. It is curious that the first alarm was given from tho same box from which was sent out the alarm for the great fire in 1872, which also began in Kingston street, then occupied by small dwelling houses. In just one minute from the striking of tho alarm an engine was on the spot, but the flames had burst from every window in the building, the BrownDurrell store, before a line of hose could be laid. In a few moments fourteen inoro engines had arrived, but tho boat of tho fire was so intense that tho solid streams of water from the hoso turned into steam before they entered tho windows, and the engines might as well have blown air at tho flames. In twenty minutes tho walls fell, and tho fire crossed tho two adjacent streets. All the engines in the city, thirty-three in number, were hurried to the spot, and help was summoned bj telegraph from all the neighboring towns, and even from Springfield, a hundred miles away, and, notwithstanding tho heavy rain which prevailed during most of the time, nearly seventy engines were assembled and pouring rivers of water on tho fire before it was subdued.

Tli© Violet tlarvent,

The vioiei harvest in southern France and Italy is extremely good. Three trains daily bring huge cargoes of violets to Paris, packed in light fruit baskets. Tho contents of tho evening train are kept for Paris consumption, while the violets that arrive in the morning are sent chiefly to England. What are our own fanners about that they do not also grow violets in winter?—Court Journal.

BITS OF SCIENCE

Artificial glaciers as a means of storing water for irrigation have been proposed.

In the Capo do la Hogue lighthouse in France a windmill is used to drive two dynamos, the current being stored up in accumulators.

The mineral called turfa, or brazolina, lately discovered in Bahia, furnishes an oil akin to petroleum, a paraffine suitable for tho manufacture of candles, and a good lubricating oil.

That Debate,

To tho Editor of The.Tourniil. An article appeared in your paper two weeks ago regarding the debate on Prohib'ticn at \Villow Grove, between Etter and Darter on the affirmative and llice, Lookabill and Vanscyoc on the negative, in which it was claimed that Etter and Darter were completely used up. Now thore was nothing strange about tho conclusion when it is known that the article was written by one of the spoakers on tho negative. I was a wholly disinterested spectator at the debate and have heard expressions from a majority of those present and I have the first one yet to hear u&y that tho negative oven made a ghost of a show as to argument. The first speaker on the negative made a regular temperance speech, except the last five minutes, in which he advocated extreme high license. The next one, who

GENTLEMEN: About seven years ago I was first afflicted with Rheumatism, I was so bad that I could not walk, and for some time was entirely helpless, not being able to feed myself. I havo suffermost of the time ever since. My physicians did nil they could for mo bHt afforded no permanent relief. About two months ago circulars of testimonies came to my notlco. So impressivo were they that I was Induced to try your "Rheumatic Syrup." I am now on my fourth bottlo and am greatly benefited and am now able to do my own work.

the

author of the article before, depicted the terrible evils that flow from the use of intoxicating drinks, but claimed a man had a personal right to raise corn and make into whisky, without citing any authority, or evidence at all. The last speaker on the negative simply read a few pages from "Cooley on Torts" and misquoted Senator Ingalls, of Kansas. The affimative met his "Cooley" with the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States and read from Senator Ingall's speech, just what he did say. They say they are out of small shot is the rea- on tliey will not meet Etter and Darter at the court house, and we think it is perhaps true as they used suoh small shot that they were not oven felt by the affirmative. These are the plain unvarnished facts in tho case, and as Etter and Darter offered to meet them or any one selected by them, as often as they wanted to debate the question, it will bo very easy to decide tlie question satisfactorily by accepting the challenge.
