Easily Frightened.

Typhoid fever kills more people in this country every year than most of the yellow fever epidemics do. Yet nobody ruus away from typhoid fever. They stay wh ere they are aud take the chances. But at the first hint of “Yellow Jack,” country Battlements, villages, towns and whole cities lose their heads and run off as fast as their legs will carry them. In Havana yellow fever sometimes prevails all the year round, but the citizens stay there, and American tourists visit tho city and never think of danger. Why does a touch of the disease in this country produce such a general scare? — Atlanta Constitution. Many a boy finds it easier to coutest li’s father’s will after the old man isdead than when he was alive.— Boston Post.
