Petroleum for Diphtheria. In the village of Nenville-Champd'Oisel, about nine miles from Bouen, France, a malignant type of diphtheria .broke out last year. The country doctor, M. Frederic Flahaut, treated the cases in the usual way, but the deaths were numerous. Remembering, ae he 6ays, that the English use petroleum as an anti-spasmodic and an antiseptic, he determined to try it as an experiment. His first trial was in the case of a little girl seven years old. He had already given her up and proposed to the parents to make the experiment, which consisted in swabbing the throat with common petroleum. He had -: little hone of the euooess of his new method, but to his astonishment he j noticed an improvement after the first application. He continued the treat ment and the child recovered. Then he tried it successfully with his other patients. This year he had forty cases of diph- 1 theria to treat, and he was successful in every one. In order to be perfectly ' sure that the cases in question were ones of malignant diphtheria, he had the expectorated matter submitted to the analysis of Professor Francois Hue ; of the Bouen College of Medicine, 1 and the professor reported that he had clearly discovered the presence in it of numerous baccilli of diphtheria. ' Moreover, his diagnosis was confirmed by Dtb. Leshaves, Lerefrit and Bailey 1 rtf U An loot Vtoinflr J u?usu ?,.u6 W physician-in-chief in that city. The treatment presents little difficulty or danger. The swabbing is done every hour or er ^ry two hours, according to the thickness of the membranes, which become, as it were, 1 diluted under the action of the petro- ' leum. The brush, after being dipped in the petroleum, should be shaken to prevent any drops falling into the respiratory channels. The patient# experience relief from the very first application. The disagreeable taste of the petroleum remains for a few moments only. How'i This I We offer One Hundred Dollars Revr&rd for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cored by HaLTs Catarrh Care. P.

A CHRISTMAS STORY. f DON'T like th looks of the ak; this mornin' Mary observed old Cori Jackson to hi wife as he stoo< in the bock doo farmhouse gazinj wish Sally hadn' started to school ef I ain't mistake] #WD id UUC liU ucv first-clags blizzard I'm sorry ther Christmas exer cises wan't held j day or two sooner Jofe'll hey a fi v- ef Sally's missin when he gets here." "Oh. stop your nonsense, Caleb,' returned his wife, with some asperity in which, however, a trace of anxiet; wan discernible. "Sally's no fool she's been caught out in bad weathe: before this and knows enough to mak< herself and the youngsters comfortabl< if the worst comes to the worst. Oni ad think the schoolhouse was fift] miles across the prairie 'stead of on'j five. Do be sensible." Sally Jackson, their nineteen-year old daughter, taught a district schoo in Lyons township, for which the com missioners of MiDnehaha county al lowed her the sum of thirty dollar t month. Her father cultivated 64( acres of Dakota prairie land, and it was his success in raising corn thai had earned for him the sobriquet o: "Corn" Jackson among his neighbors. Both he and bis wife were pioneer set tiers in the county where they wer< highly respected, the popularity ol their home with the young men being greatly enhanced by the presence ol their vivacious daughter, whose charmi few could resist. But Joe Chalmers, a sturdy young settler living at the farther end of th< county, was generally understood tc be the most favored of Sally's admir ers, his good looks, abundance o. mother wit and genial disposition al wayb insuring him a pleasant recep tion. Perhaps the fact that he held f patent from Uncle Sam for half a sec tion of good land, on which a neai frame house had given place to th< original log shack, may' have added t( his popularity with the old folks whose warm welcome when he callec and cordial invitation to "drop ii often'' when he rode away were never theless quite sincere. There was to be a real old fashionei New England dinner at Corn Jackson's homestead Christmas day, and at Joe's claim lay thirty miles away, across the prairie trail, he had arranged with Sally's parents to driv< over Christmas eve and occupy theii guest chamber. Joe had been mentally laying greai planB for the proper spending of thai Christmas eve ever since he receivec his invitation. He wisely figured thai Sally would be kept busy Christmai day, first in helping her mother and later in entertaining the company, o: whom there were to be several aunti and uncles, together with sundn nephews and nieces, who were sure t< appropriate all Aunt Sally's atten tions. As they would not arrive unti Christmas morning Joe had determined to do his share of monopolizing the night previous, and to nsl Sally to be his wife was the centra' pivot of his plans. He was fully sat i6fied that she was the only girl thai conld make him truly happy for life, ami now that lie bad thoroughly setlied this proposition in bis own mim" he was feverishly anxious to reeeivt Sally's answer. .That he was not in different to her he felt sure, bu1 whether she liked him well enough tc be hie wife was aDother matter. Jot was not a self-satisfied young lnrjj. ?n( realized that women are complex crea tuien, often loving where none suspect and disliking where the exact reverse might reasonably be countei upon. Hence his perturbed feelings. He was aware that the Christmas ex ercieea at bally 6 scnooi were to t>eneu the Friday afternoon preceding Chrifit man, and by starting early he hopec to reach tho schoolhouee in time t( take Sally home in hie uleiglt, f heavy snowfall the day previous hav ing spread a thick white mantle ovei the frozen gronnd. Like hiB prospective lather-in-law, he, too, had taker I observations of the weather after getting -well under way, and had mentally decided that trouble was brewing. But a Dakotian en route to his lady love is not to be balked by the bitter? ..V.j -Li? :e , est Dlizzara mat ever uiew, ?uu u | entertained any qualms they were on I Sally's account; certainly not on his ' f own. | Sally usually rode to school on a lit1 tie white pony, but that morning a k neighbor had driven over in his bobsled with one of her pupils, promising to call at the school for them on his return from town. This arrangement had not disturbed Sally's tranquility in the least, for she had an intuition .To? would be alone before the ex ercises were finished, and if he should ask her to ride home with him she would?well, 6he would .offer no obtions. The sohoolhou3e was in the center of a district that was notvery thickly settled. The people were few in number and the nearest farmhouse was two miles away,, but Sally's scholars had the true Dakota contempt for distances, and a two or even four mile tramp across the prairie twice a day was of little moment to their sturdy physiques. They were sure of a warm ownol fnr in tli* hftolr vftrd was a whole cord of 6awed wood, brought from the river bottom, which Silly used in the big stoye without stinting. The exercises were partially over in the little schoolroom when the teacher beqame aware of an atmospheric change that caused her heart fo beat like a triphammer, for a ten years' residence in the prairie country had made her an adept in reading weather signs. She had seen that queer haze in the sky before and experienced that same palpitation in the atmosphere which aha had once likened to nature trem bling at the fear of impending disaster. 1 > y>y i \ t f The wind shrieked uncannily down the 3 chimney, the windows rattled in their. casements and the door shook so vior lently that a chair had to be propped ) against it to meet the resistance. > Still the girl had no thought of cur tailing the exercises, but rather of E prolonging them, for, with a wisdom - beyond her years, she leaped to the - conclusion that the children mnst not i Allowed to venture out in the face - of the storm that was almost upon t them. Lighting the lamps, a process 3 that was rendered necessary by the > leaden skies, she sent one of the boys , outside to close the wooden shutters I and another to bring in afresh supply t of wood. Before the last recitation had been delivered and the dozen scholars had 1 marched round the room with tiny American flags upheld, singing mean- 1 i time a patriotic air, the 6torm burst , in all it6 fury. Some of the little girls,. alarmefc at the violence of the s elements, began to whimper, and p Sally, to quiet them, told a Christmas story, which wbb having the desired ' t effect when the chair at the door sud- i t denly gave way and the latter, with a i 1 loud bang, flew open, admitting an icy t blast, followed by a furious gu6t of i fine snow, causing the more timid ones 1 I to shriek with fright. f Sally jumped forward to close the i 3 door and found it an effort which re- i r quired her entire strength. This time - *>10 lro-i7 in +V>? n.nrl Viarl i - two of the boys drag a bench forward 1 as an additional brace. Then she re- 1 1 tnrned to the task of entertaining her scholars. I It was customary for the children to > : eat their dinners at school, which > [ ordinarily was not dismissed until three o'clock, but on this day the ex- ' t ercises were to occupy the forenoon 1 , only, permitting the pupils to return '< ! home in time for dinner. Consequently 1 i | none of the youngsters had been pro- | ; vided with food, and all the school 1 could muster was a sandwich and two 1 l ! i?u? i.- l.-'-i. .1 ,.i??i [ UUbin umuuilD ?UJ(.U jiiny xiuu pn^cu > in her bag expecting to ent on the way 1 ? home. 1 These edibles she carefully divided ! i among her scholars in equal proportions, and by pretending she had re- ' served some for herself let them eat J without suffering any compunctions < | on teacher's account. It made a sorry 1 I meal for ten or twelve hungry boys 1 | and girls, but it was better than noth- i j ing- j 1 ttome 01 tne oiaer noys ai nrst m- i' > siated upon starting home, but after 1 i witnessing the gale that dashed past < the door when it blew open, they were glad to join the circle with the rest < around the stove, near which all f i huddled for warmth. The cold was ? ,, w"?i intense. A pitcher of water that R+.nrxl on Sftllv'e desk, twenty feet from the fire, froze solid and had to be thawed out back of the stove when one of the children called for a drink. So fierce was the draught that the thick chunks of wood were quickly reduced to ashes in the fire, and by three o'clock .the supply was so nearly exhausted that it was evident that more must be obtained or all woulc^ freeze to death. Although the woodpile lay within thirty feet of the schoolhouse there was great risk in venturing out to it. In that fearful blizzard, -where it was impossible to see five feet in any direction, to make a false step meant certain death, and this Sally well knew. Often 6he had heard her father tell of settlers losing their way in going from the house to the barn during the progress of a blizzard and of being found frozen in the snow within fifty yards of their home after the storm was over. Experiences each as these crowded thickly on the girl's memory and resulted in anything but pleasant sensations. But Sally never shirked her duty and nt>w bravely prepared to accomplish the dangerous feat. Knotting together some pieces of string used by the boys in playing "horse," she made a rope long enough to reach from the side window to the woodpile. One end of thin she tied to the arm of the biggest boy in the room, then unfastenincr the shutter she instructed him to raise the window and pass the rope out to her when she tapped on the casement. Wrapping herself in her thick ulster she pulled the hood over her head, cautioned the frightened children not to stir on any account until her return and then, opening the door, plunged forward in the snow, now almost waist deep. , -i. Ugh! How the cruel, icy blast hungrily leaped to inclose her in its deadlyembrace. Fine particles of snow dashed into her eyes and in' a few seconds formed in a solid lnmp, completely blinding her. But the brave girl had no intention of turning back. Closely hugging the side of the building she cautiously felt her way until she reached the further window on which she rapped sharply with a stick. rTnih1? t.n Bfie on account of the frozen snow glned to her eyeballs, Sally shouted to the boy to lean out and place the loop in her hand. Slipping it over her left arm ?he then abandoned the shelter afforded by the building and boldly dashed into the open in the direction of the woodpile. An accurate knowledge of its location led her straight to the fuel and, quickly gathering an armful of the sticks, 6he jerked at the line until she felt it tighten, when, guided by it, she atastfered back to the window through | which she passed her precious load, piece by piece. Four times Sally made this hazardous journey before her strength gave way. Then, trembling and exhausted, she crept along 'the building to the front door and stumbling inside fell an inert mass upon i the floor. "Teacher's dead! teacher's dead!" screamed one of the little girls, whereat there was a genera.1 outcry which bad the effect of arouaing Sally sufficiently to reassure the children. Two of the biggest boys helped her to a chair near the stove, where, after rest ing a few minutes, the frozen snow be- I gfan to dissolve and for the first time i since leaving the building she could ! Dpen her eyes. Four, 5, G o'clock came and passed without any cessation to the raging blizzard. To entertain her charges Sally had recounted every story she knew and had invented all sorts of ?ames for their amusement, but now their hunger asserted itself find they refused to be pacified. To add to her distress the supply of oil in the lamps gave out, plunging the room into utter darkness Have iux | a thin gleam of light that forced its , way through a crack in the door of the I *tove. Prior to thin misfortune Sally 1 had made the children spread their auter wraps on the floor around the fire, on which she bade them lie down, [ then taking the youngest girl in her !

A dozen lives lepending on lier fortitude and good lenae, she had managed so far to pre- 1 jerve her charges from harm, but bhe 1 i ..< . v.* ' dreaded the morning, when, awakened from their slumbers, their rebellions stomachs would crave nourishment. Her only hope lay in the storm abat?V, 1?1? 1.1 1_ lug, much uci|j nuuiu nuxcij uiiivtr, for she realized how great muBt be the anxiety of the parents for the safety of their children. Relieved of the necessity of entertaining her scholars, Sally's thoughts ? everted to Joe, and the girl wondered if he were safe from the storm. After RAttlincr t.liin nrnWfim Rn.tisfn.rttnrilv in her own mind she began a series of inward self-questioning something after this fashion: Did she like him? Yes : she felt sure of that. Better than anybody elseC3 Than Jim CarletoD, for instance, or Dick Staples? Yes, better than either of those two. Did he like her? She knew he did. Did he love her? She closed her eyes, let her lips rest upon the curly locks of the sleeping child in her lac. while a blushinc smile stole across her face. Bid she love him? Love! What was that? To leave home, father, mother, and give herself entirely and unreservedly to him. Ah! she did not know; she could not tell; the question was too hard to answer. At that moment Sally heard the whinny of a horse and the next instant came a voice from the storm calling in unmistakable accents, "Sally! SaUy! let me in, let me in !" Did she love him? Like a flash the problem was solved. She knew by the glad leap oi Her puisee, tne yearning of heart, the outpouring of her whole being to the man whose voice she heard that she would willingly go with him anywhere he beckoned?to the end of the world if necessary. Placing the sleeping child on the floor she felt her way to the door, and the next minute was folded in the arms of her lover. "O, Joe, dear Joe," she sobbed, "I'm so clad you come. I knew vou would." "My darling, my darling," was his response as he drew her to his breast and kissed her'upturned lips, "then you do'love me?" "Better than life," she whispered as she led his snowy fif^ure toward the stove; "but you muBt be nearly frozen "I was pretty cold, that's a fact," returned Joe, "but not now. I have forgotten everything else but you." Fortunately for the schoolma'am the room was dark, or the children, some of whom had awakened, might have told a queer story about Miss Sally being hugged by a big man in a buffalo overcoat wearing green goggles. But they saw nothing and Sally was too overjoyed to think of repressing her lover's ardor. The first transports over, Joe told his story. The blizzard had caught him just as he reached the nearest farmhouse, two miles from the schooL Here he wrvs compelled to remain all that terrible afternoon and evening, in an agony of doubt and fear, -within miles two of Sally, yet' utterly unable to render her any assistance. At the suspicion of a break in the gale he had thrown a blanket over his horse, placed a basket of provisions in his sleigh, furnished by the farmer's thoughtful wife, and disregarding all warnings started across the prairie to the schoolhouse, which he reached mainly owing to the sagacity - of the horse he drove. The storm was still raging, but the worst was over. By midnight the stars were out, the air was stilled, the temperature had risen and only the deep, billowy snow remained to tell of /vf /vlftmnn+o Tint. InnCr tlit? uatllic Ui VUC CICIUIVUVU. before that hour Sally had aroused all the children and supplied each with a generous portion of the good things brought by her lover. There was plenty for everybody, and by the light of Joe's lantern Sally and the yoangsters had such a feast that shortly made all feel very happy. With the abatement of the storm the parents of the children began to arrive and by 1 o'clock in the morning the last load had driven away, a fervent "God bless you, Miss Sally, and a very merry Christmas," coming from the depths of each heart as the grateful parents realized how muoh they owed to the brave little schoolteaoher. And Sally? Was it not a merry, happy Christmas for her? As Joe lifted her into his sleigh and tucked the bic. white wolf-robe around her ? -O' Bhe leaned forward and whispered: "0, Joe, dear, ] am bo, so happy!" And the New England dinner was a success after all, despite the anxious hours passed by old Corn Jackson and his wife. As/or Joe, he was the life of the party.' He let the youngsters hug and kise Aunt Sally all they pleased without suffering one pang of jealousy. But every little while he slipped cut in the hall when Sally wus absent and made even by sundry hugs and kisses that brought the girl back into the parlor with burning cheeks and frowzly tiair. Really, i believe tnere never was a happier Christmas day than the one succeeding the big blizzard in Dakota. ?Chicago Herald.

Royal Baking Powder has all the Honors?In Strength and Value 20 per cent, aouvc us ncarcjt vunc petitcr; The Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having received the highest award for articles of its class ?greatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined? ' wherever exhibited in competion with others. In the exhibitions of former years, at the Centennial, at Paris, I Vienna and at the various State and Industrial fairs, where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Baking Powder the highest honors. At the recent World's Fair the examination for the baking powder awards were directed by the chief chemist of the Agricultural Department at Washington. The chief chemist's official report of the teste of the baking powders, which was made for 4-1%rvnrvncfl nf IUO opcoilio |/Ul|/VOV V* MUWW* which was the beat, shows the leavening strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce of powder. Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited, the nest highest in strength tested contained but 133 cubic inches of leavening gas. The other powders gave an average of 111. The Royal, therefore, was found of twenty per cent, greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor," + and forty-fonr per cent, above the average of all the other tests. Its superiority in otner respects, nowever, , in the quality of the food it makes as to fineness, delicacy and wholesomeness, could not be measured by figaree. It is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the country for so many years, that have caused the 6ales of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown by statistics, to exceed the sale of all other baking powders combined. Fishes That Fight. ,' f < So aggressive is the plakat, a little fish from Siam, that the entertainment it affords has become a National pastime, but not a very creditable one, to say the least. The fishes are trained to go through regular battles, and are reared artifically for the purpose, ' while the license to exhibit them to the general public is farmed out, and brings a large amount of money into the royal coffers. They are kept in aquariums built for the purpose, and fed upon the larvae of mosquitoes and every possible care, taken of them. Several years ago a few of them were presented to a English gentleman by the King of Siam. When the fish is in a quiet state, with the fins at rest, the dull colors are not at all remarkable. But if two are brought together or within sight of each other, or even if one sees its own image in a looking glass, the little creature becomes suddenly excited. The fine are raised and the whole body shines with metalio lustre and colors of dazzling beauty, while the protecting gill membrane, waving like a black frill round the throat, makes grotesque the general appearance. In this state of irritation it makes repeated darts at its real or reflected antagonist. If, now, two are placed together in a tank they rush at each other with the utmoet fury. The battle is kept on until one is killed or put to flight, but not until they are entirely separated does the victor shut his gaudy fins, that, like flags of war, are never lowered until peace has been declared. In South America there is a small fish that not only attacks its fellows of the sea and river, but is greatly dreaded by the natives, who, during certain seasons, have to ford the streams in which the carbites is found- Bathers are often attacked by them, the sharp, chisel-shaped teeth taking a bit from the flesh wherever they attack.
