MEASLES TERRIFIES THEM.

pacific Islanders Dread the Disease as We Dread Cholera. With the communities of the temperate zone measles is accepted and toler- ( Ated as one of the many indignities connected with Childhood. If a grown man has the fever and the rash he becomes the source of mirth in ethers, and is laughed at by his comrades because he has not yet concluded his infancy. Otft in the Pacific measles is no laugh - ing matter, but is regarded as health officials look upon cholera and the plague, both because of its high degree Of contagiousness and the large percentage of mortality among its victims. More than once it has happened that steamers have been quarantined at Honolulu or Suva or Apia, all because gome baby has had this disorder. In 1874, after the British Government toad annexed the Fiji Islands, a war vessel was detailed to take King Cakoban and a batch of nigh chiefs on an educational cruise which should ahow them the magnitude of the British empire as displayed at Sydney. Un- ’ fortunately the party on its return to Fiji brought the contagion of measles. The pest spread with terrifying rapidity from Island to Island, and attacked all ages. There was only one medical man In the group, and he could not begin to take care of the dangerous cases In Levuka, and as for the hundreds of other Islands away from Ovalau the only thing that could be done was to send out word to the sufferers not to lie in the water. But despite these orders there was the one thing each Fijian felt that he must do when he had measles, and as soon as the rash began to smart and grow hot the patients hurried to the nearest stream or even to the beach and jumped Into the water. Result, what might have been expected; total mortality during the epidemic, 50,0<X); being nearly one in every three of population. Measles found its way into Tonga despite all efforts to safeguard the kingdom. The death rate was just about the same as in Fiji. From Tonga tlio contagion spread tx> Samoa. Its coming had been foreseen and the proper St-;* taken. The native pastors were supplied with medicines and instructed in ill -Jr use. Best of all, every town was placarded with notices telling the people what they must not do.

GOT THE WRONG DOSE.

He Knew the Bottle, but He \Vaa Mistaken In the Content*, In a railway carriage on the London and Northwestern Railway recently a Waggish young man, noticing an elderly gentleman trying to put on his overcoat, went to his assistance. While thus engaged the young man observed a good-sized whisky flask protruding from one of the old gentleman’s pockets. and thought It a good opportunity for a joke. Having helped the stranger pn with his coat, therefore, he pulled put the flask and said: “Will you take a drink?” The old man did uot recognize the Jjottle, and druwfhg himself up remarked severely: “No, sii; i never drink.” "It won’t hurt you,” insisted the wag; "‘it’s the best.” “Young man,” said the old gentleman, speaking loud enough for all in the carriage to hear, “If you persist In drinking whisky you will be a rained man at 40. It is the curse of the land. When I was a boy my mother died, and the last thing she did was to call me •to her bedside and sny, ‘John, promise ■me that you will never touch a drop oi liquor.’ ” 'Oh, well, in that case," said the jokP; ■ “I must drink it myself,” whereupon, suiting the action to the words, he pulled out the cork and took a good drink. A moment later lie dropped the bottle with an exclamation which certainly didn’t sound like a blessing, and yelled, “Ugh! Ugh! My mouth’s all raw!” Then it was that the old gentleman discovered his loss, and to the amusement of the other passengers, said: “Ah. young man, you will be careful before you take another man’s propei’ty again. lam Dr. Blank, and that bottle contained some quinine and iron for one of my patients.” The young man got out at the next station.

The Sorrow of China.

The Yellow river, which has been named the “Sorrow of China,” is probably the most destructive stream on the face of the earth. In less than 1,000 years it has changed its channel four times and the point where It empties Into the sea has from time to time been moved up and down the coast a distance of 800 miles. It runs through a vast alluvial plain, and is fed by streams from a great system of mountains in the north. When the snow melting on this range conies at a time of heavy rains the result is sure to be a terrible flood. It has been estimated that in the past three centuries over 10,000,000 human beings have perished In the floods of the Yellow river. For destructiveness, both of life and property, this stream is unparalleled, and the sobriquet bestowed upon it Is simply Justified by Its history.

A Unique Carpet Cleaner.

Carpets can be cleaned without removing them from the floor by a new machine, which has metal strips set Inside the carpet to beat the carpet as the cleaner runs over the floor, a fan being mounted In the top of the casing to draw the dust Into a water compartment, which has an air passage covered by a moistened screen to retain the dust particles.

Newspapers of the United states.

There are 2,200 daily and 15.000 weekly papers published in the United States, and twenty-three different languages, other than English, are represented in the newspaper pMK of this country.

Couldn’t Say She Made Light of Him.

Young Mr. Banks weighs a trifle oyer 200 pounds, and Is somewhat senMti*e about It. lie was calling on a peong lady the other evening, when she eatfi naively: “Oh, Mr. Banks, would you just as soon sit in this easy chair as ffi that rocker?” “Certainly, certainly,” replied Bqalv, gallantly, as he changed from oneOhalr to the other. “Oh, thanks, thanks,” she murmured; “you are very kind. I have an aUBS full of such lovely ferns under fm® cushions of that easy chair, and you—* “Good night,” said Banks, stiffly, an Re walked never to return.

REPUTATION AT A BOUND.

Men Who Became Fanton* at an Karly * A*e. The early exploits of military leaders are paralleled in other lines of life by achievements of young men who afterward became famous In their chosen professions or callings. It has frequently happened that young men distinguished themselves by achievements which they were never afterward able to surpass. Bryant never wrote a better poem than Thanatopsls, yet he was , only a boy when this, his best known j production, was completed. Like many . poetical writers, he was a poor judge j of the merits of his own work, and f fancied he could write much better, later in life. He preferred his translation of Homer to any of his poetical i effusions, and disliked to be eompli- 1 mented upon Thanatopsis, regarding It j as a mere boyish play of fancy which had been greatly surpassed by his later work; the public, however, did not agree with him, and nine-tenths of the men who admire Thanatopsls neither know nor care anything about the rest of Bryant’s writings; this one is enough. Shelley was only a boy when Queen Mab appeared and resulted in his leaving the university. Keats was not 20 when he distinguished himself by some of his choicest work; Moore ; was admired all over the Englishspeaking world before he was as old as Hobson.

As with writers, so with men of affairs, the youthful man frequently .astonishes ids elders by some achievement which establishes his reputation. Charles James Fox was not 20 when his first success in Parliament was recorded. Metternich was a young man when he first swiped the destinies of the Austrian empire. Thiers and Gladstone were still young when their first political successes were recorded; Lafayette was only a boy when he came to America; Alexander had hardly attained his majority when he marched Into Asia; Edison had not grown a beard when his first Inventions astonished the electricians; Peter Cooper was still a young man when he undertook to solve the problem of steam traction;. Fulton was young when he set about the work of “navigating seas with a wash Ixdler.” On the other hand, however, there are so many men whose mental growth is gradual that he who concludes that all geniuses develop early is likely to fall into error. There, for example, is our own Dewey, who is over 00 years of age, and who. lias ascended to his present station by the slow process of gradual promotion. He was what, in popular parlance, is known as a “safe” man—that is to say, a man who will not take unjustifiable risks to accomplish the end proposed; a cautious man, who thinks too much of his reputation to endanger it by venturing into an enterprise which, if unsuccessful, would be pronounced foolhardy. The name of Dewey was hardly known outside of naval circles until his splendid victory at Manila. A line in the newspapers, hid away in the corner of naval changes, and unnoticed save by those interested, gave the world to understand a year or so ago that Commodore Dewey had been appointed to command the Asiatic squadron, but outside of the Navy Department and the navy not one man in a million in the country knew or cared who Commodore Dewey was, had ever heard of him l> - fore or ever expected to hear of lii.a again. All at once, however, the name becomes of world-wide fame.

Young Men Should Remember

That it takes more than muscle to make a man. That bigness is uot greatness. That it requires pluck to be patient. That selfishness is the most unmanly thing in the world. That consideration for mother and sister docs more to mark a gentleman than the kind of necktie he wears. That piety is not prigglshness. That the only whole man is the holy man. That to follow the crowd Is a confession of weakness. That street corners are a poor col lege. Timt one real friend is worth a score of mere acquaintances. That to be afraid to be one’s noblest self is greatest cowardice. That it is never too soon to begin the business of making a man of one’s self. That what is put into the brain today will be taken out of- it ten years hence. That the only manliness worth possessing is shown in the life of the Son of Man. Piss Dress d in American Colors. A Springfield (Ohio) minister tells of a visit he made recently to Madrid. He says: “I had a glimpse of Spain last week which was enough to give me the horrors—hunger, dirt, pride and fleas In equal proportions—a grand empire on the eve of a great catstrophe. Tinhatred of America is intense. The pigs are decorated with American flags and tortured as they pass through the Streets. One was nearly killed by my side, and the brute who did it didn’t know that the genuine Yankee was so ne»"”

"For Headache 1 don’t believe there ever was so good a pill as Ayer’s. I have been a victim of terrible headaches, and never found anything to relieve me so quickly as AYER'S PILLS” C. L. NEWMAN. Dug Spur, Va.

HISTORICAL. In the light of history Napoleon 111. becomes a curious phenomenon. But his morose Idealism proved to France greatest misfortune that ever visited It Until 1859 that country was Surrounded by nothing but Inconsequential neighbors. At the downfall 9f Napoleon it touched elbows with two powers of magnitude. To the last of his reign Napoleon nourished the illusion that at Magenta and Solferino he had procured for France a mighty and a faithful friend. The phrase, “Driving a coach and six through an act of Parliament,” occurs in the “Memoirs of Ireland,” published anonymously in 1716, but commonly attributed to Oldmixon. In speaking ot Stephen Rice, who was made Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer by James 11. in 1686, and was removed by William 111. in 1690, Oldmixon says: “He distinguished himself by his inveteracy against the Protestant interest and the settlement of Ireland, having been often heard to say before he was judge, ‘that he would drive a coach and six horses through the Act of Settlement.’ ” This date (circa 1685) is at least a century earlier than the date popularly assigned to the origin of the phrase. Coltsfoot, or the leaves of the lettuce, being slightly narcotic, would form a harmless make believe for the good folk Who persuade themselves that 'hey could not sleep a wink were they deprived of their evening comfort. Ages ago both Greeks and Romans, according to Dioscorides and Pliny, found comfort in smoking through a reed or pipe the dried leaves of coltsfoot, which relieved them of old coughs and difficult breathing. We can picture the legionary in Britain’s bleak atmosphere, while pacing the Roman wall, trying to console himself in his lonely vigil with the vapor from his “elphin pipe,” fragments of which have been found among the ruins of those early memorials to the Scots’ persistent determination to travel southward. And as to the lettuce, It has been famous since the time of Galen (Claudius Golenus), who asserts that he found *relief from sleeplessness by taking it at night jhoast beef, or fowl, will be muck nicer rs they are kept covered while roasting; it keens them moist; uncovo* just time enough to let them browa
