GOOD HEWS
FROM THE
n
j
Interesting and Instructive Bulle
tin by State Board of Health,
Dealing with One of the Most
Fatal Diseases to Which Human
Flesh Is Heir.
"neumonia kills more people
every year than any other human
malady, not even excepting con
sumption. Pneumonia is a germ
disease, and is caused by a small
organism similar in some respects
to those causing other diseases
with which we are familiar.
The germs of pneumonia get
into the lungs through the mouth,
but not every one who has the
germs in his mouth will have pneu
monia. If he did, practically all
of us would have the disease be
fore the winter is over. It is only
when the system is "run down"
that the germs do their dread
work.
We here give three good ways
to encourage pneumonia: First,
drink lots of alcoholic liquors, the
poorer the quality the better; sec
ond, expose yourself without suf
ficient clothing, particularly in ex
treme weather; third, and best of
all, live and sleep with your win
dows closed.
If you don't want pneumonia,
heed the following ways of avoid
ing it: First, let all alcoholic drinks
alone; second, dress according to
the weather, instead of according
to the fashion; third, if exposed to
rough weather or if you get wet
and numb, undress in a warm
room, rub the skin with a coarse
towell and go to bed; fourth, avoid
constipation by eating more fruit
and less meats and pastry and
drinking more pure water and
taking more exercise; fifth, keep
your feet warm and your head
cool, and last of all live and sleep
in the fresh air all the time.
HISTORIC.
"Say, waiter," said the travel
ing man to the hotel waiter, "what
kind of chicken do you call this?"
"That's a Plymouth Rock, I be
lieve," replied the waiter.
"I am glad it has some claim to
historical mention," said the man.
"I thought it was just an ordinary
cobblestone."

TURN BACKWARD!
Yes, backward, turn backward, Time, in thy Might,
Regenerate this man who tries so to write;
Who also stands on the streets just to view
The sweet, innocent girls who just must pass through.
He can't "kiss away the furrows of care."
So he looks and rants at the frocks that they wear.
Time, over his eyes your loving watch keep,
And put him tosleep; oh! yes, put him 10 sleep !
He longs to go back to the old days of yore,
When titters and bustles were things thai girls wore.
Or the old Grecian bend and high French heel shoes,
Making them look like lean kangaroos.
Take him back, oh Time, to the age suits him best;
He then can stand in the streets and have his old jest,
Caring not that it causes (he sweet girls to weep;
So put him to sleep, Time, put him to sleep !
Give us a man no matter his station,
Who won't use the streets for coarse observation;
Who will turn his keen eyes "away from the light, "
And refuse 10 see girls in such a plight.
We are weary of these masculine jeers
About women's clothes, caring not for her tears,
Nor aught that his comments may cause her to weep
So put him to sleep, Time, put him to sleep.
Give us a man who, instead of our frocks,
Will stay at his home and darn his own socks,
Give us a man, but never a cynic
Who is looking for "peek-a-boos" every minute,
Tired of those men who have naught else 10 do,
Time, oh, Time! We turn unto you.
Come with thy scyth such critics to reap,
And put them to sleep, forever to sleep !

THE DIFFERENCE.
I Oive You This Orange."
"CHEER UP, SONNY!'
Aunt Mary said in her cheering way,
"The world wasn't made in a day a day,
And the blue sky, where the white clouds Hit.
Why, the Lord was six days painting it;
So cease your worry,
And do not fret;
Just cheer up, sonny,
You'll get there yet."
Aunt Mary said in her cheering way,
"The Lord sends that which is best each day;
If you'd grow a man both good and true,
A lesson in patience is good for you;
So cease your worry,
And do not fret;
Just cheer up, sonny,
You'll get there yet."
Full oft to me in the days of youth
Aunt Mary repeated the same old truth;
And I dreamed brave deeds as I heard her say,
"The world wasn't made in a day a day;
So cease your worry,
And do not fret;
Just cheer up, sonny,
You'll get there yet."
The dreams of youth are not realized,
I haven't gained yet some things I prized;
But I've learned in a measure the lesson of trust
And not to endure just because I must;
That God is my Father,
And he loves me;
And some day his wisdom
I'll plainly see.
If a man were to give anoth-
cr an orange, lie would simply
say, "I give you this orange;"
i hut when the transaetion is en
j trusted to the hands of a law
yer to put in writing, he adopts
j this form: "I hereby give anil
j convev to von, all and singu
lar, my estate and interest,
right, title, claim and advan
tages of and in said orange, to
gether with all of its rind, skin,
I juice, pulp and pips, and all
rights and advantages therein
with full power to cut, bite,
suck and otherwise eat the
same, or give the same away,
as fully as I, the said A. B., am
now entitled to bite, cut, suck
or otherwise eat the same
orange or give the same away
with or without the rine, skin,
A SERIOUS LOSS.
i juice, pulp, or pips, anything
hereinbefore or hereinafter, or
! in anv other deed of deeds, in-
strument or instruments of
what nature or kind soever to
tlx! contrary in any wise, not
withstanding." RXPLAINKD EVERYTHING.
One of the party was telling how
he had lost a grip on a railroad
train the other evening when Con
gressman David h. I-inley, of
South Carolina, generously smiied.
He said that it reminded him of
the serious loss sustained by a citi
zen of his own State.
The aforesaid friend had occas
ion to go on quite a railroad jour
ney, and when he reached his des
tination the brotherly party who
met him at the station noticed that
he seemed considerably depressed.
"What in the world is the mat
ter with you, Jake?" he asked.
"You look as cast down as a de
feated candidate."
"1 have been up against a bunch
of hard luck," answered Jake. "I
lost the best part of my baggage
coming down here."
"You don't really mean it!"
sympathetically responded the
other. "Did you misplace it, or
was it stolen?"
"Neither," was the sad rejoin
der of the cast-down Jake, "the
cork came out."
RAILROAD MAN'S PRAYER.
At an annual meeting of Conductors and Engineers some time ago,
a great revivalist, one of the favoriies of the railroad men of the South,
was asked to take part and open the the meeting with prayer, says an
exchange. He was loudly applauded as he entered the hall, and step
ped upon the platform to otter prayer. The railroad men, with their
wives and daughters present, reverently bowed their heads, while the
revivalist, with trembling lips and deep emotion, ottered the following
prayer :
"O Lord, we meet as a body of railroad men to consult for our inter
est, we are reminded mat lite ttseit is a train and the road to Heaven
a railroad; God's life the rail; God's love the fire; and His promises
the signal lights. 0 Lord, we recognize Thee as the General Mana
ger of our road, the Superintendent of our train and Chief Dispatcher.
Thou didst survey the right of way, and Thy Son purchased it with
His blood. Thou didst lay the track and ballast the road. Thou hast
furnished the rolling stock. Thou art the owner and controller of all.
We look to Thee for all ou- orders, and Thou must sign the checks for
daily bread. Be merciful in handling our human mistakes and blun
ders and do not discharge Thy unworthy servants. We are grateful
for the Bible, Thy Book of Rules and Instructions, Be merciful in
our examination, and look with charity upon our failures. Thy prom
ises and warnings are our headlights and lanterns; help us to see them
so as to save our train from wreck. Deliver us from broken rails,
blind switches, false signals und mistaken orders. Be with us on every
high bridge of responsibility, on every curve of emergency, and in
every tunnel of trouble let the light of Thy promises shine out bright.
Grant us passes for our wives and children. Let them go with us.
When the storms of temptation and trial come, save us from the fatal
slides and washouts that have wrecked so many trains on the road of
life. Let our way be kept secure by Thy guardian care. Always show
the steel rail, and the rock ballast, and let the road-bed be solid and
Free from obstructions. Deliver us from the snares of the enemy.
May the headlight of Thy Truth shine bright on a thrown switch, false
signal or fatal obstruction placed for the destruction of our train. May
the emergency brake of a strong will save us. As we make our last
run, headed homeward, if it be Thy will, order our train in on time.
Let the light of Thy promises burn bright to light the dark tunnel of
death, as we run through it to the grand central station of the skies.
May we have the approving smile of the General Manager, sign with
joy our pay roll, receive our wages and have an enternal lay-off with
Goo. Amen."
As the revivalist left the platform, a dozen men gripped his hand,
and brushed a tear from their eyes.
Doctor, said an old lady to her
family physician, "kin ye tell me
how it is that some folks is born
dumb?"
"Why ahem certainly, mad
am, replied the doctor. "It is ow
ing to the fact that they come into
the world without the power of
speech."
"La me !" remarked the old
lady, "now just see what it is to
have a physic edication. I've axed
my old man more nor a hundred
times that same thing, and all 1
could ever get out of him was.
