,.„v ,t the young
ilesirable tenant,
Fery young and girl-
itncu that it seemed a
i waste of time to mention the
rule about ohil»lfeu.
However, lie did it. He brought
. ?»• " it in incidentally aH a matter that
. could not possibly interest her ex-
• *1 cept as it insured her greater free-
dom from noise if she decided to
take the flat
"I thought likely you had that
rule about children," she said care-
lessly in reply. "In fact, I hardly
deemed it necessary to ask about it."
"It's such a common thing to bar
children from flat buildings, I sup-
pose," suggested the agent.
"Oh, that wasn't it," she ex-
plained. "There is a difference in
the buildings, you know, and in the
course of time one gets so that one
can tell just from the appearance of
u flat whether children are allowed
in the building or not."
"The Hats in buildings whore chil-
dren are not permitted are in so
much better repair and look so much
better," the agent intimated.
"Not necessarily," answered tho
girlish little woman ploasantly. "I
have known of cases where one wo-
man in a wrapper and carrying soma
nails, hooks and a hammer has done
more damage to the hard wood fin-
ishing of a flat in one afternoon than
six children could do in a year ; but,
of course, thut has nothing to do
with the case."
"Of course not," said the agent,
becoming a triflo bewildered.
"The thing that gives me the key
to the regulations concerning chil
dron is tho general arrangement oi
a flat," went on the littlo woman.
"There are flats, you know, in which
one wouldn't dure to keep children
for fear of getting into troubl^with
tho Humane society."
"I—1 supiH)se so."
"With advancing civilization the
law is beginning to keop a much
moro watchful eye on tho children.
A person who has reached the yearn
of discretion may take chances if ha
or she wishes to, but the health of a
child must not be jeopardized.
There positively must be room for
the little one to turn round, and
there must be sufficient light and
air, as well as the l^st of sanitation.
Oil, it is a very Eimple matter to
pick out those flats from which chil-
dren are barred by agonts or owners
who are anxious to run ho risk of
getting into trouble with the health
authorities — yes, indeed. And, of
course, it wasn't necessary to ask
you about it in this case—not at all.
Ucod day, sir."
It was the next day that ho learn-
ed that the girlish little woman had
a 6-year-old son and twin girls aged
3. It in never well to take anything
whatever for granted when there is
a woman in the case.—Chicago Post.

Diphtheria Cure.
The method by which tho cele-
brated Dr. Field of London—whose
successful treatment of diphtheria
was the envy and admiration of bis
profession—handled the disease is
described in the Boston Post, credit
being given to the London Lancet.
All Dr. Field took with him was a
powder of sulphur and a quill, and
with these ho cured every patient
without exception. He put a toa-
spoonful of the powder (flour of sul-
phur) into a wineglassful of water
and stirred it with his tingtr instead
of a spoon, as sulphur does not read-
ily amalgamate with water. When
tho sulphur was well mixed, he gavo
it as a gargle, and in ten minutes
the patient was out of danger.
Brimstone kills every species of fun-
gus in man, beast or.plant in a few
minutes. In extreme cases, where
the fungus was too nearly closing
the throat to admit of gargling, he
blew the sulphur into the threat
with the quill and after the fungus
had shrunken sufficiently to allow
it ho gave tho garglo. Ho never
lost a patient from diphtheria. If
the patient cannot gargle, take a
live'coal, put it on n shovel and a
spoonful of sulphur on it and let tho
Buffercr inhale tho fumes, holding
tho head over the sulphur. Dr. Field
permitted—indeed recommended
the swallowing of the gargle instead
of spitting it out.
This simple remedy has, to our
knowlodge, proved effective more
than once in cases where the lining
membrane of tho throat showed tho
suspicions white patches and do
serves a trial. It certainly cannot
harm any one.

Tho Silver Gar.
There are fishes comparatively
common that it almost impossible
to keep alivo in captivity, or even
to mako captive without injury.
Among these is the silver gar. This
fish is found in considerable num
hers in these waters in summer; in
southern waters it is common. It
attains a length of 2 feet, is extreme-
ly slender and spindling in form
and its head and jaws are pretty
nearly a quarter of its length, the
jaws tapering almost to a point. It
is liable when captured to do injury
in tho net either to the tip of its
long jaws or to some part of its slen-
der body. It is accustomed to swim-
ming near tho surface in well aerat-
ed water. Silver gar taken in
Qravesend bay, though handled
with the gieatest eaie, have died
before they could be got to tho
aquarium in this city. The silver
gar is veiy different from the hardy,
bony gar, of which there are several
specimens now at the aquarium.—

Carlyle on Webster.
Thomas Carlylo, who once met
Daniel Webster at a friend's house
at breakfast, said: "This American
Webster I take to bo ono of tho
Btiffest logic buffers and parliamen-
tary athletes anywhere to be met
with in our world at present—a
grim, tall, broad bottomed, yellow
skinned man, with brows like pre-
cipitous cliffs and huge, black, dull,
wearied, yet unweariable looking
eyes under them; amorphous pro-
jecting nose, and the angriest shut
mouth 1 have anywhere seen. A
droop on the sides of tho upper lip
is quite mastifliiko— magnificent to
look upon, it is so quiet withal. I
guess 1 should like ill to bo that
man's nigger. However, he is a
right clever man in his way and has
ii husky sort of fun in him, too;
drawls in a handfast, didactic man-
ner about our republican institu-
tion*,' otc., and so plays his part."

A Little Too Frank.
When Elizabeth Barrett married
Robert Browning, tho bride's father
expressed himself on tho subject
with that cruel frankness which is
too often heard in the family cir-
cle. What he objected to, he said,
"was not her union with a silly
ycung poet, but her marrying at all
at an age when perstms of her years
—40—Bhould have their miods lixed
exclusively on the next world."
