General Tlliu' nannies roof.
A re.silent of Bay St. Louis. Miss.,
tells a pretty Htory about ex-Postm;ister
lleneral Vilas, n rabbit's fiot and the
little mistPMS of the postoftice at tho
lake shore resort. It will be rem inhered
that when Mr. Vilas took charge of tho
lostoIhce system of the United States
the heads of offensive partisans dropped
very rapidly, but in Houth Mississippi
along the lake shore there were no voters
in office, for the postmasters were all
women. Nevertheless the decree went
forth that they must give way to adher
ents of the party.
Among the office holders was a little
woman who did not believe in being in
a hurry. So she asked the postmaster
general for an extension of time, which
was gallantly granted. In looking around
among her few treasures her eyes fell
upon one she considered above price. It
vas a small and delicate left hand foot
of a rabbit mounted in silver, with a
name and date engraved upon it. This
Rhe concluded to send to the postmaster
general as a token of gratitude. In her
letter of presentation she said, among
other good wishes, that she trusted the
rabbit's foot might some day be the
means of landing him in the United
States senate.
Her wish, aided by the efficacious
properties of the rabbit's foot, has been
successful, and Mr. Vilas has been ele
vated to the senate. Ho himself acknowl
edges the means by which that good for
tune was achieved, and in a letter to trie
little postmistress he said:
"I still possess the good luck charm,
and you are at liberty to claim any ad
vantages that might be due to it, and I
fchall take it as a compliment." Cor.

Cutarrh.
Catarrh is an inflammation of the
mucous membrane. As the membrane
lines every cavity of the body that has
an outlet, there may be as many differ
ent forms of catarrh as there are such
cavities.
The closed cavities are lined, not with
mucous membrane, but writh one that
secretes a thinner fluid serum for lu
bricating purposes, which is readily ab
sorbed after doing its normal work.
Still the serous membrane also may be
inflamed and its secretion abnormally
increased.
Thus we may have pericarditis, with
V3 "water" around the heart, from in
flammation of the membrane that lines
the heart bag, or pericardium; pleurisy,
with its fluid crowding against the lungs,
and sometimes causing their complete
collapse, from inflammation of the mem
brane that lines the chest; peritonitis,
so painful and dangerous, from inflam
mation of the membrane that lines the
cavity of the abdomen; synovitis, with
its painful and puffed out joints, from
inflammation of their similar lining
membrane.
A common "cold" i3 an inflammation
of the air passages. When it i3 confined
mainly to the nostrils, it is popularly
known as a cold m the head, but medi
cally as coryza.
When it is confined mainly to the
bronchial tubes, it is called bronchitis,
which, when it has gained a permanent
hold, greatly resembles "consumption,
and is often mistaken for it by the peo
ple. 1 outh s Companion.
An Actress Criticised to Her Face.
A good story is told in the Stuttgart
Nene Musik Zeiting concerning one of
the most eminent German actresses and
a theatrical critic, equally well known
to fame. A number of ladies and gen
tlemen were the other day traveling to
gether in a railway carriage from Dres
den to Leipsic. Only two of the pas
sengers knew each other, but the con
versation soon became general, and the
Court theater at Dresden became the
subject of discussion.
One lady, who had been present the
evening before at . the representation of
"Euryanthe," was loud in her expres
sions of disapproval. "Worse than all,'"
she exclaimed, "that Mine. Schroder is
much too old for her part Her 6inging
is becoming unbearable. Don't you
think so too?" she asked, turning to the
gentleman next to her. "Would you not
rather tell all this to Mine. Schroder
herself? She is sitting opposite to you,"
he replied coldly.
After the general silence which fol
lowed this remark the critical lady
turned to the actress with many con
fused apologies. "It is that horridcritic,
Schmieder, who has influenced my judg
ment concerning j'our singing. I believe
it is he who is always writing against
3'ou. He must be a most disagreeable
and pedantic person." "Had you not
better tell all this to M. Schmieder him
elf?" calmly asked the actress. "He is
sitting next to you."
Why lie Didn't Have a Crutch.
Three little boys were flying kites in
West Philadelphia, and another little
boy limped along with them, looking up
toward the sky at the bits of paper and
wood which were dancing and sailing
through the air. The other boys were
heart", healthy youngsters, with red
cheeks and stout limbs, but the fourth
one was under size, pale, emaciated and
a cripple. Every step that he took
seemed to wrench his system, but still
he laughed and hobbled along in an un
gainly manner, enjo'ing, as well as he
could, the fun that the other boys were
having. A gentleman passing by called
to him, and he resijonded.
"How did you become crippled?" he
asked.
"I had scarlet fever when 1 was a
baby," the child replied, hanging his
head as if he had leen taught that his
infirmity was a disgrace.
"Wouldn't it be easier for you to walk
with a crutch?" the gentleman asked.
"Yes, sir," the boy replied, and a tear
glistened in his eye, "it wouldn't hurt
ino near so much, sir, but mother, she
says she couldn't stand seeing me walk
around with a crutch, and so I don't do
lk
And so the little chap limped away,
never for the once thinking how cruel
bis njother was to make him suffer so
just because she disliked the idea of hav
ing him nse a crutch. Philadelphia
