Yesterday George Walling, who is atout twenty years old, complained of a sore throat, and this forenoon it developed into diphtheria, The case is not of a malignant type, however, and it is thought. that there is no danger of the disease spreading. Health Officer Hugh Marchie quarantined the Walling residence early in the day. At this time it is well for our sitizens to use every possible means to guard against the disease becoming epidemic. The city_now has one of the very latest improved fumigating machines. It is so constructed that areom can be thoroughly fumigated through the key-hole of the door. The apparatus is highly recommended by those who are familiar with its virtues, and who are competent to pass judgment in matters of this kind. Mr. Marchie has proven himself to bea very painstaking officer, and ‘he desires that everyone should aid -him in the performance of his duties. He speaks very highly concerning the Oliver family in this respect, In their late bereavememt they did everything within their power to aid him carrying out his precautionary measures, In the public schools of this city. i* has been the rule for the past few years for the teachers to make enquiry asto any of the pupils having sore throats. In case any of them are so afflicted, they are sent home. One great thing that the public 'should-bear in mind_isnot toget excited. Ifa person is troubled witha sore throat he or she should use due caution, and remain within doors. eu Snow From a Clear Sky. The most wonderful snowstorms of all that may be seen every winter in the Adirondacks are those that prevail when the sky is cloudless. Of these there are several varieties. Every week or two we would see what looked like a fog form about the distant hills and then. come drifting across the creek valley. -Doubtless it was a real snow elnden’’étoud that had been drifting along until it struck our level (1,300 feet above the sea) in-the Adirondacks, when the conditions became favorable for the release of its feathery burden. We saw these clouds fill the air with flakes that were driven along almost horizontally by a strong gale, although the tops of’ our old hemlocks and spruces rose into the clear air and unobstructed sunlight above the highest level of the snow producing air stratum. We even saw the snow so thick in the air about us that the trunks of trees six feet above the earth were not visible, although the treetops could be seén, and the sun shone down through the shallow storm with strength enough to cast distinct shadows. We have stood on a quiet, sunlit hilltop and looked down into a valley less tuan 100 feet below us, where a snowstorm was raging with violence and the temperature was frigid. — Scribner’s. Saved the Lamp. An amusing scene occurred at a New York dock the other night. A Scotch engineer, who wished to go ashore, ordered a boy to show him the way with i lantern. As be was crossing the narrow plank that served as a gangway the boy slipped and fell into the water. The instinct of the true Scot instantly showed itself. “Hold on to the lamp, boy,” the engineer shouted, leaning over toward the water. “Do you hear? If it’s lost, there's a dollar gone from your wages.” After some time the boy was rescued balf drowned, but clinging to the lamp. As some compensation for his trouble he was forgiven for losing the bottom of it. ; A Lottery. It happened in the county clerk’s office. “J want a lottery ticket,” he said. “Certainly,” replied the polite clerk. He knew a thing or two, did the clerk. A little thing like an old joke could not disturb him. “We don’t call ’em lottery tickets, but of. course they are much e sam ing.” gre he filled out the marriage license and collected $3.—Chicago Post. Dickens’ Finances. Dickens did not begin-to save money . until he was nearly forty, and throughout life he suffered acutely and incessantly from pecuniary worries and anxieties. He was never short of ready money after his great crisis of 1844, but he was never easy about the future until after hig enormously profitable second American trip in the winter of 1867-68. Secrets of Comfort. Though sometimes small evils, like invisible insects, inflict pain and a single hair may stop a vast machine, yet the chief secret of comfort lies in not suffering trifies to vex one and in prudently cultivating an undergrowth of small pleasures, since very few great ones, alas, are let on long leases. The Egyptian perfumes, according to ancient authorities, were mostly made Arabia, Persia and central Africa. The fellow who keeps grinding is almost sure to make his point. —————————— Smoke the up-to-date Cigar Thomas 8. "a Special Almanac, ‘. Fegular in Egypt from materials imported from . . « .

Beginning with William Shakespeare, we remember instantly Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Walter Scott, William Wordsworth, Washington Irving, William Makepeace Thackeray, Henry W. Longfellow, John G. Whittier, William Cullen Bryant, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes ‘and Walt Whitman. Others whose names occur almost simultaneously are William Cowper, Isaac Watts, Henry Ward Beecher, Daniel. Webster, Wendell Phillips, George William Curtis, Richard Grant White, Julia Ward Howe, George W. Cable, William D. Howells, Charles Dudley Warner and Richard Watson Gilder. To these are easily added Sir Walter Blackstone, John Wesley, Edmund Waller; Nathanfe) P. Willis, Walter Savage Landor, Will Carleton, James Whitcomb Riley, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Dr. 8. Weir Mitchell, Hamilton Wright Mabie, William H. Prescott, Constance Fenimore Woolson, Mary BH. Wilkins and many more.—Ladies’ Home Journal. Country Innis In England. A’ noted traveler says he has sampled a large number of hotels in his time—even in Greece—but for barefaced dishonesty in the making of bille the bluff British landlord takes first place. “After charging twice what his food and rooms are worth he tacks on a further charge for service, another for lights, another for bath, another for fire. In short, my experience of-country inns in England—and I can speak with some authority—is that I pay as much a day at a shabby little country inn of England, where the food is poor and ill cooked, the attendance inferior and the beds poor, as I would at a good hotel in such towns as Springfield; Mass., or the very best in Switzerland or Germany. Indeed, it must have struck the average, Amertean that the incomparable Baedeker hardly ever finds it possible to recommend an English hotel.” The Original Silhouette. The name silhouette was derived from Etienne de Silhouette, a French minister of finance in 1759, who introanced several parsimonious fashions during his administration called a la Silhouette, a name which continued ta be applied to the black profile portraits. Silhouettes were executed in various ways. bs One of the simplest is that of tracing the outlines of a shadow’s profile thrown on a sheet of paper and then reducing them to the required size etther by the eye or by means of a pantograph. The camera obscura and camera: lucida are also occasionally used for the purpose. His Appeal. ; Little Georgie was taken by his aunt to see the newcomer, aged one day. He was duly and profoundly impressed with the specimen and asked where the little brother came from. “God sent it,” answered the aunt reverently. The answer made a deep impression on little Georgie, for that afternoon he was seen out in the backyard gazing up into the deep blue sky and spreading his diminutive. apron expectantly as he said, “Dear God, please throw me one down too.”—Troy Times. Hardening Steel. Small steel articles that are too soft may be hardened with sealing wax. The method is to have ready a large stick of sealing wax and then after heating the article to a cherry red thrust it into the wax for a minute, withdrawing it and sticking it in again, repeating the operation until the steel is cold and will not enter the wax.

Loss of Appetite: ——— Attraction at North Bloomfield On the First of March. At North Bloomfield on Saturday evening, March ist, “the Excelsiur Dramatis Company will give an entertainment and all preparations are now being made, The drama, ‘‘The Last Loaf” will be presented and those who ‘are to take part are now faithfully rehearsiiig.

It is more than likely that people from all the surrounding towns will be present as the hospitallity of the North Bloomfield people is weil;known, Snap Shols. A Chieago young man boasts of high birth because he wae born in a flat on the thirteenth floor. Some women look like real works of art, and no wonder, for they are nearly all hand-painted. It is strange why a man who resorts to dishonest means to make a living should want to live. Probably it’s because salvation is free is why so-few-are trying to obtain it until in the last heur. It is hard for some young men to tell which is the hardest, to pop the ‘question or question “pop.” We have a few citizens who remind us of bedbuge—not very dangerous, but terribly annoying.

Magruder reported that he made an examination of different territory from that covered by the other spies, and also covered a certain portion of the territory that they examined. Among ether mines’ visited by him were those at Badger Hill, Columbia Hill; Grizzly Hill, Shady Oreek and Scotch Flat. He said that the water in Deer Creek the day he visited the mines in that vicinity was very muddy, and he was of the opinion that there was considerable mining going on above that point. He says he visited the old' Kate Hayes restraining dam at French Corral, and found that about one-half of the material depos-. ited behind it has recently. been washed into the South Yuba River, and was practically doing as mueh damage as ifthe material had originally been washed into the stream. The parties stracted sluices and undercurrents in the ravines below the old dam and large heads of water are run over the old dam, carrying the material through the sluices from which it. is dumped into the river below. Several years ago an injunction was obtained against the Kate Hayes, and an appeal from the judgment is now pending in the Supreme Cevurt, and while the Company itself has ceased mining by ,the hydraulic process, other parties are washing the material lodged behind the dam that was partially restrained by theirdam are now dumping into the river. At Badger Hill the dam had been raised two feet since his last visit. At Oolumbia Hill the mine was closed down, but the men were engaged in outting brash and logs preparatory to raising the dam.

Among ether mines’ visited by him were those at Badger Hill, Columbia Hill; Grizzly Hill, Shady Oreek and Scotch Flat. He said that the water in Deer Creek the day he visited the mines in that vicinity was very muddy, and he was of the opinion that there was considerable mining going on above that point. He says he visited the old' Kate Hayes restraining dam at French Corral, and found that about one-half of the material depos-. ited behind it has recently. been washed into the South Yuba River, and was practically doing as mueh damage as ifthe material had originally been washed into the stream. The parties stracted sluices and undercurrents in the ravines below the old dam and large heads of water are run over the old dam, carrying the material through the sluices from which it. is dumped into the river below. Several years ago an injunction was obtained against the Kate Hayes, and an appeal from the judgment is now pending in the Supreme Cevurt, and while the Company itself has ceased mining by ,the hydraulic process, other parties are washing the material lodged behind the dam that was partially restrained by theirdam are now dumping into the river. At Badger Hill the dam had been raised two feet since his last visit. At Oolumbia Hill the mine was closed down, but the men were engaged in outting brash and logs preparatory to raising the dam.
