KIN TO !T. A Novel Ph New Vooman tion on a Train,
‘I was amused at a woman on a train coming into Washington from the south,’’ said a gentivrnan. ‘‘Ilt showed a novel phase ef the new woman question.
*“*“At Goldsboro a man got on the train with a baby in hisarms, A woman fol- lowed him, but paid no astention to the man. The baby was evidently sick, and the father, a North Carolina mountaineer, paced up and down the car trying to quiet the child. Every lady on the car except the woman who got on the train at Goldsboro was interested. Consider- able speculation was indulged in as to the father and child, the consensus of opin- jon being that he had just lost his wife and was taking the baby to its grand- parents. After two or thre hours the woman who boardel the train at the same time the man did spoke to hi@:, and he then passed on, fondiing the baby.
“A benevoleat-looking old lady saated near the Woman, curious to know sonio- thing abont the *.atter said:
* "The child seams to be s ag,’
" *var ae
“" I] saw ve: know him?’
** ‘Orter—he’s my husban’.’
‘“*Do you mean to say that you are that child's mother and let the baby suffer that way?’’
‘* *He’s jess as able to tote it as I be. Hes’ jess as much kin to it as I be,’’ and the woman turned unconceanedly to the window, while the man continued to walk and danile the child.’'—Washington Star.

No Need for Seasickness.
A great number of people who can never cross the ocean without being pros- trated by seasinkness have come to look upon avery reported cure for that distress- ing malady as a delusion and a snare. Whether the latest remady, or rather pre- ventive, is more e‘ticacious than the rest, remains to ba preyed. Dr. A. D. Rock well says it is. He asserts that the reason so little attention has been paid to seasick- ness, especially by thoss not subject to it, is that there was a fallacious idea that to be seasick did a person good; that it clear- ed out the system, and therefore, nature should be allowed to take its course. Dr, Rockwell hoids that there is neither ad- vantage in not need forthe ailment. It must ba prevented and the battle of pre- vention mus’ be Sought on iand bofore sci ing. For three days before tre voyage doses of brumide of todium must be taken —in preference to bromide of potassium, and this cours? must be continued for three or four days after sailing. One pleasant effect of this bromization is the sound and refreshigg nature of the sleep it induces ‘The dos3 recommended by Dr. Rockwe!l is thirty grains of bromide of sodium three times a day for three days before the voyage, and for three or four days after starting. He has invariably found this treatment an absolute prevent- ive and has crossed the Enzlish Channel on & very rough voyage without the slight- est discomfort from the motion of the ship. Ina paper on this subject before &@ medical society Dr. Rockwell tella of a man who was in the habit of crossing the ovean two or three times a year on busi- ness, and who dreaded the recurring trips on account wf seasick:seess. After he had tried the bromide treatment, he wrote to say that for the first time in his experience he had crossed without discom- fort. Dr. Rockwell states that he has never foand any evil effectasrom tha use of the bromide of sodium tasen for the prevention of ssasickness.
Some New Second Sight Feats,

His daughter, of highly bervous temperament, is his subj-et. *She saton an ercinary chair in the center of the stage. She gave her eyes up to the experimegter.

Preventing the Flattening of Wheels.
A sight which has become very famil- iar to the publis is the Lrilliant epark- ing which cften occur; between the wheols of trolley cars and tho rail. !t makes a pretty display, bu. it is some- what expensive for the rai.way com- any. ‘This sparking between the wheel and the rail is among the ci&ses which lead to the shortening of the lif> of the wheel. The resultant esting tends to anneal the chilled rim, with the conse- quence that flat surfacss ara roduced when the wheel skids. Many large electric traction companies find that the renewal of flat wheels constitu'e:; a very serious item of expense, an~ there is now an excellent opening for the oure of the evil. One of the remedies lately suggested is a steel brush pressing on the head of the rail, te be used for re-enforcing the wheel cont€*. If such a device could be made practicable it would serve a dovgle purpose; it would keep the contact surface clean, and _re- duce the sparking at the wheels by taking ® considerable proportion of the current and,at the saine time, a saving in pow- er would be effec ed.

PREPARE FOR GRIP.
NOW RAGING IN EUROPE AND MAY BE EXPECTED HERE.
Recent Bad Weather the Cause---The Dis- | ease Now Attacks Horses, Cats and Dogs— | The Microbe Theory—A Curious Cure,
Grip, like the takes its course westward. the case, it is very likely that we shall soon have another epidemic of the dis- ease. News is received every day by the cable that influenza has spread ail over Kurope and is still spreading. Berlin has been especially unfortunate, and there have been recorded in that capital as many as 500 cases in one day. A great number of these preved fatal.
From Germany, which was visited by the epidemic last month for the second time this year, the disease spread to the north and west, lts ravages were severe- ly felt in Norway and Sweden, which couutries have had very bad weather.
In Eaglaad the citizens have Rada second experience this year vhe grip. The cable reports that many peo- ple of noble birth have been afflicted, which shows that the malady is no re- speciee of persons.In this regard the grip differs from cholera, which confines its attention cuiefly to the very poor, ex- cept in some particniar instances which can be accounted for. The reason for this is that the cholera germ breeds and thrives in filth, whereas the microbe of influenza,if the microbe theory be adop- ted, requires nothing but a dark, disa greable state of the weather in order to develop to a condition of irritating ro- business. For it must be remembered that the healthier the microba the less healthy the individual who is acting as its host.
The history of grip epidemics has shown that the malady may be expected to arrive here a few weeks after its ap- pearance in Europe. On the occasion when the grip first became prominent, and was recognized as a malignant and contagious disease, its course could be readily traced clear around the earth. This was in 1889. The weather during the winter of 1889-90 was remarkably damp and disagreeable, and these con- ditions accompanied the disease close- ly on its globe-trotting expecition. It was not until the epidemic reached Cen- tral Africa that it showed any sign of letting up, and even thew it died hard.
course of empire, This being
Wali
The weather during November has been particularly favorable to the de- velopment of the grip microbes. All of
the necessary conditions have prevailed. Warm and cold days have alternated in a most confusing and unexpected man- ner. ‘Chere has baen a great deal of rain and dampness, and the wind has, on the cold days, been of a singularly pen- etrating character. It is diffeult fora person who is subject to the disease to protect himself against such a formi- dable combination. The results are sure to appear, and we have had suflicient experience to know just what they wil) be. There will be a shivering, a sneez- ing, a coughing, and, above all, a feei- ing of utter misery and neryous pros- tration.
It was not until about five that the grip was recognized in this country as a disease deserving an _ es- pecial title in the list of ills that afflict
years ago
mankind. Many declared that it was only a bad cold, or a form of pneu- monia. But it has since been shown
that the grip is a malady all by itseif. While it is true that it resembles a bad | cold in many respects, attacking the mucous membranes of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes, this is merely an incident and not the main feature. The grip is, in fact, according to a well-re- spected authority of throat troubles, ‘‘to be regarded as a general or constitutional disease, of which bronchitis is the local manifestation. Like all epidemic dis- eases, this has doubtless a special cause, and this cause is undoubtedly the at- | mosphere.’’
While physicians are generally agreed | that the grip is caused by the presence of certain microbes in the atmosphere, they ure by no means sure how these microbes move from one part of the world to the other. It is particularly dificult to understand how they can cross the Atlantic Ocean in the short space of a week, unless it is assumed that they are brought over on shipboard, like cholera and other epidemic disease | germs.
It is a circumstance deserving some attention by those who are interested in the microbe theory that, during every epidemic of influenza,a far greater num- ber of persons are attacked than during an epidemic of any other disease. Chol
era, as has been peinted out, usually attacks only those who, owing to the conditions of their lives, render them-
selves peculiarly liable to its iptuences, Scarlet fever, typhoid fever and sxmall- pox also attack a smaller number of victims. To account for this it has been suggested that the influenza microbe during an epidemic is found in every part of the atmosphere and is not con- fined, like the cholera microbe, to cer- tain localities.
Tbat which might be expected to fol- low from this is just what actually oe eure. ‘The rich and the poor, strong and weak, clean and unclean, all are alike subject to influenza, with, however, this important qualification, that the disease is not usually followed by fatal results, except when it attacks the aged and the feebie. A perfectly healthy man, in other words, though he may pot avoid catching the malady, need not fear any ill consequences if he takes care of him-
self properly. Among human beings | the grip is not so destructive of life as | along some of the loweranimals. It is
reported that in England the disease has
found its way to dogs, cats and horses. In the case of the dogs it has had a mortality of 6 per cant.; of the cats, 24
and of the horses a still larger The mortality among men is
due to complications with other troubles. Of these capillary bron- chitis and pneumonia are particularly apt to cause death. It is hardly neces- sary to state that bronchitis and pneu- monia are favored by the same _ con- ditions that encourage influenza
In regard to the germ theory it may be said that this is still under diseus- sion. <All doctors and scientific men are not agreed that the disease is caused by germs. There are, it is true, path ologists who say that they have seen the bacilli of grip and that they are | able to propagate them in certain ‘‘cul- tures.’’ Oshers (there are sure to be ‘“‘others’’ ip any scientific question which cannot be absolutely answered beyond any possibility of doubt), de-
