In this new operation a small tubo is inserted through the mouth into the windpipe, and all necessity for a cutting opera tlon is thus avoided. It is claimed by tho advocates of this method of treat mcnt that it is far easier to Introduce this tube than to perform tracheotomy, and that more lives aro saved than br tho old operation.

"Oh, I was walking away from tho furies," sho said, trying to speak light ly, "but they liavo como with mo. I think I really did not know whero I was going, I only wanted to walk.

"People can't go on suffering sotiiu change, some relief, must come." I don't know," ho answered, with a long sigh.

"Perhaps. I have not found it yet." Oh, Sydney," she said, passionate' ly, with a wild burst of tears. "Syd' ney, Sydney!" sho laid her cheek on Ills shoulder. Bobbins like a child." By this time they had passed from tno glare ol fourteenth street and were facing tin town again. Ho bad taken tho umbrella from her hand and held its shelter between them and passers by.

Sydney's knowledge of suffering had made mm very tender toward the pain ol others. Ho allowed his com jianion to weep unquestioned, patting gently front timo to time tho little quivering lingers that clutched his arm. 'How good yon she stammered, whisperingly, at length. "Oh, Sydney I how could you forgivo mo how could you ever look upon me again if I had mado you sutler like this? I nover knew it could bo so terrible!

"I am glad to hear you Bay that.

I am glad you have, at last, some pity to civo me." "Oh, but you do not need any more. Surely you can't care still as you used "Oh, hush!" Sydney Interrupted, very gently: "Hush, my dear! hush.

"Oh, Marie, you- do not mean it?" His grasp tightened on hex fingers." "JDo'ou think what you are saying?" "les, yes, yes! if you will take my poor, half-broken heart but not yet! sho checked herself piteously. "1 could not lovo you yet by and by it all may come riht.

And meanwhile, if you wish it, we can bo engaged. You must stay near me, Sydney, and be good to me. Oh, help mo! help mo to live. Yon know how hard it is how impossible it seems that joy or hope can ever como again!" Fate did know what she was about, as she usually does if minds finite could but compass her infinite plans. A few days later brought Sydney Worth the unexpected fulfilment of a hopo that ho had patiently placed a long way off in tho future the full bestowal of Marie Pirot's love.

They were driving through the park in a brilliant October sunset, and Sydney had been talking brightly of various matters of interest, when no threw his head back with a short laugh, and said in a kind of triumphant tone: "Hell, I was pleased to-day, Marie. You remember that fellow I told you of that had defaulted from our office with a lot of money last week?" "Jso, said Mane, vaguely. Did you tell me?" "Come to think of it, I didn't," said Sydney, smiling. "That's so, I was afraid it might annoy you. Well, it all right now.

They've got him at least, not him, for ho gave them the slip at the last moment; but the money's safe. He took away seven thousand dollars, and we've recovered all but three hundred dollars; that he spent. 1 tell you we have been lucky, and so has he. It's a curious thing," pursued Sydney, thoughtfully; "but I'm awfully glad the scamp escaped." "Glad?" repeated Marie, solemnly, "Oh, why? He will be sure to victim ize other poor people." "Other rich people, said Svdney, correctingly. "Of course he will, for it turns out that bo is a regular confi dence man: but you've no idea how much I liked him.

We all did. He said ho had just arrived in the country and was quite friendless. Well, the lirm took him on trust, actually.

His real name is Wallace, I believe. He went away last Wednesday morning the dav after I met you in the train. "That was the man!" she said, in a low, breathless voice.

She unclasped her hands from Sydney's arm and pressed them over her face. "The man! What mm?" Sydney stared quite wildly as he asked tho question. "Oh, the hero of my romance!" said Marie, slowly and bitterly; "the singer I fell in love with. You did not want now.

Tho committee on disinfectant of the American Publlo Health Associa tion calls attention in its report to a distinction which is not always accu ratcly enough observed between disin fectantssubstances which destroy germs and slniplo antiseptics, which prevent their development. Many of the preparations put on the market as disinfectants aro in reality only anti septics. While practically the words disinfectant, in the strict sense, and germicide aro considered to mean the same thing, so long as it is not proved thai all the infections are developed from germs, we must regard "disinfectant" as a word of more general significance than germicide. But, as a matter of fact, those agents which by laboratory experiments have been proved to bo tho most potent germicides have also been shown to bo the most reliable disinfectants. While antiseptic agents may fail to fulfill the stronger purpose of disinfectants, they are known to exercise a restraining influence on the development of disease germs, and their use during epidemics is recommended, when masses of organic material in the vicinity of human habitations can not be completely de stroyed or removed or disinfected.

A substance of this kind is sulphate 01 iron, or copperas, which, whilo it docs not destroy the vitality of disease germs or tho infecting power of material containing them, is a vcrr valuable anti septic, the low price of which makes it one of the most available agents for tho arrest of putrefactive decomposition. While an antiseptic agent is not necessarily a disinfectant, all disinfectants are antiseptics; for putrcfactivedecom-position is due to the development of germs of the same class as that to which disease germs belong, and the agents which destroy the latter also destroy the bacteria of putrefaction when brought in contact with them in sufficient quantity, or restrain their de velopment when present in smaller amounts. Antiseptics aro a poor sub stitute for cleanliness. A QUEER CASE. Peculiar End of Sea Captain Who Was Killed by Ilia Imagination.

A certain ship left Boston in August, 184 for Now Orleans, with a valua-able cargo and a largo freight list. She was placed in command of a veteran who had tried "yellow jack" for fifteen years, and had come out all right. "No, sir; I am not afraid; yellow jack and I have been messmates too often." When the ship arrived at the S. W. Pass and was waiting for a tow, Captain all at onco exclaimed: "I am going to have tho yellow fever." His officers laughed at him, but it was no avail.

Iho captain in charge of the tow told him thcro was no yellow fever in New Orleans. "No matter," he said, "I am going to have the yel low fever and die." The ship arrived at the levee in the second municipality. The captain went to the custom house and entered; then to his consignees, Levi II. Gale and presented his Is of lading, freight list, then his boarding house up the river. Hardly had he entered before he asked to be shown to his room, and then sent for a physician.

When the physician arrived he was astonished to iind that nothing was the matter with his pa tient. But Captain cut him short by declaring that he was going to have tho yellow fever. The physician, finding his argument useless asked who he would like to see. He named several captains in port. The doctor caught at this, and, sending for them.

he exclaimed: "lour friend is nipped if you can't get hira out of tho notion; he will be a dead roan wunin twelve hours, for the fever has made its ap pearance. Argument, however, wasot no avail, and within the timo specified ho was carried a corpse to Potter's field. Voiloa Gazette. Grammar and Lovo. A young lady by the name of Pns- cilla Winthrop is visiting some relatives in Austin.

Kosciusko Murphy, who rarely ever utters a grammatical sentence, fell head over cars in love with Priscilla, and utilized the first opportunity to fall on his knees and say: "I loves you!" "I fore yon, Mr. Murphy." said Priscilla, correcting him. 'You say you love me, too. Ah, how nice that is in you to love me, too." Texas Sifting.

Miss l'irot started visibly, then walked over quickly to Her Placo with a heightened color. When had alio ever before needed a summons toduty? Io ono appeared to notice her embnr- rosHincnt, for all eyes wero now Used on tho ope.i books, and Miss Crumm's strong lingers wero pressing tho keys. It was a wretched night; (ho rain fell in torrents, a chilly wind was blowing, tho streets wrro wet and dismal, and Mario Pirot was walking tinder an umbrella with Gustavo Wetzel and cling ing fondly to his arm, Tho rain was blinding her somewhat, but her tears were blinding her still more furtive, bitter tears, Mich ns women often weep, unknown to nil tho world. Tho crowded street enrs passed thcin every minute or two, but Mario had refused to rido.

This was tho last time they would ever walk together tho last of many, many times. She could not alloril to shorten these few sad moments of parting and farewell. Ho had cotno to the choir that evening only to tell them that ho had been suddenly called bock to Germany and must sail in the mnrniilir' lint. Ill timl nml anno. over with Mario some of tho old duets, and now they wero walking homo together, slowly, through all tho storm, by tho way they had learned to know so well.

At lirst few words wero spoken be tween them. Mario felt only tho thrills of unreasoning love, the de light of contact, tho bliss of this dual solitude encircled by rain and storm and darkuess. To her it mattered little what thev said or where they went. so that they wero together; nnd to morrow was pushed as far from her horizon as if it wero twenty years away. But all tho truth camo back on her like a shock when Gustavo's voico said, gently: "I must thank you, Miss Pirot, for tho kiiiducs you have given to mo always to me, a stranger; all theso pleasant walks and our music, together.

I shall often think of your lovely voico when I am far awav. "We have indeed had pleasant times," she answered bravely and clearly, after a moment's pause. "But why need you go if you have been happy here? Ah, you you have not many regrets. You aro glad, I thinkP" "Indeed, I am glad," and glad his face looked excited and eager. "It is a grand opportunity now that offers.

You can understand, if one has been planning long and waiting, that ono might be glad to see tho fulfillment near." "Yes," said Mario. That one word only, and in her voico was tho huski-ness that comes with tears. "Ah, well, I seo my way now clear," ho continued, gayly and trightly. All unconscious of the muto tragedy that went on besido him, ho poured out tho story of his disappointments in tho past of his plans and visions for tho future. Mario listened silently.

It seemed each mom that the tido of her emotion must burst all bonds and carry with it the fine reserve of her nature, its womanly dignity and prido, She called up all her strength at last, in a desperate effort. "I must leave you here," she said, stopping suddenly at the corner of Fourth avenue. "I I have some busi-nesss to do I will say good-night and good-bye. I hopo you may have a pleasant journey." "But surely "not! I can not leave you in this storm. Let mo escort you where you wish to go so dark and such a rain!" "I have my own umbrella here." Sho raised it as she spoke.

"Thank you, very, very much, but I prefer to go alone. And you know," smiling strangely at him, "I shall have to do without your escort altogether after this. Yon have been most kind" Sho broke off suddenly and busied herself with the fastening of her cloak, then held out her hamC "Good-bye," sho said, abruptly. "Good-bye, Miss Pirot, if it must bo so if you "wish it." "Oh, yes. Partings, think, should never be prolonged.

I hipo you will have a good voyage. I hopo you will bo always happy. Good-bye, Gustavo." "Auf wiedersehn, auf w'rcdcrschn, my beautiful, kind friend. I will writo to you from tho other side, and some day we surely will meet again. Do not forget me in the time between." But Mario had wrenched her hand from his and was gone, a dark, hurrying shape, down tho lighted, rain-swept street.

"Marie!" Sydney Worth had come out of the opera after the second Bet, and having buttoned his long rubber coat to tho chin, was scuddying up Fourteenth street in an element-defying humor, when this word burst from his lips in a tone of amazement. Mario Pirot had just passed him on the crossing at Fourth avenue; a sudden backward tilt of her umbrella had shown hira her face plainly, pale strange, with that absorbed, unseeing look that mental suU'ering gives.

Juniill Stafford, In Hood Hoiucltttlilng. A CHOIR SLXGER Who Tr-ned Out to Be a Dangor-ous Man. There nro two sides to every question, as tho l)st of reasons demon-titrates; but Mario Tirot, try ns she might, could iind only ono sido to the question of her engagement to Sydney Worth; nnd that, unfortunately for the lover, was the negative sido. Sydney, on his part, being a mun was logical enough to lake in all tho bearings of the case, and yet heroic enough to await Marie's decision with a courage worthy of a cause more sublimo than the yea or nay of a brown-eyed girl.

In this trembling balance, however, was hung his hope of all earthly happiness, while he smoked his cigar and talked and walked about the world as usual. "Take a week, only a week, for calm consideration, ho had begged her, and then proceeded to enhance her calmness by urgent pleading. His eagerness harassed and worried Marie into a state almost of resentment and took from her much of tho responsibility of her final action. It gave her something to light againstand armed her with necessary iirmncss. Whereas, if ho had thrown himself completely and helplessly on her mercy she would have found it doubly hard to wring his heart by her decided refusal; but she would have wrung it all tho same.

When her letter camo at last poor Sydney kissed tho dagger before ho received its stab that is, he kissed her handwriting, and then very likely a few moments later dropped a tear or two in tho same spot JJut tho letter was folded and put away, as such letters and such poor, broken hopes are being folded and put away all over tho world to-day and every day, and Sydney went about his business astonished and miserable at tho heavy weight of his disappointment. His life staggered under it but did not slop; and he vaguely felt, through all his suffering, that time would bring him again tho old firm step and lightsome strength, but never tho old gayety and freshness of heart. Love's rose had grown for him and burst into bloom, and its petals were scattered no power could make it again a perfect flower. All the rest of the things iu tho world remained, certainly, but they seemed to have very little uso or value for him now, and bo wondered how tho days and years could go on under tho impetus of his lost Jiopo nnd aspiration. 15ut tho days and years did go on; Sydney sat at his desk and mado money and Marie sang in her church and pavo music lessons, losing her youthful beauty somewhat, but gaining always in grace and attractiveness.

She and Sydney met occasionally as friends and his eyes still told the same old story that was now forbidden of all other expression. As for Miss Pirot. she met the usual experience that falls to the lot of talented and gracious woman. She had hosts of male friends, quite an array of admirers, and always ono or two ardent lovers who were much in tho same case as Sydney himself for it would seem even to the most interested observers that Miss Pirot' being, musical and harmonious as it was, had never yet responded to tho master-chord of all the chord of love! ut at last, when tho key-note of Marie's destiny was struck and its Hood of melody came pouring into her life like an overwhelming tide, neither the alto on one side of her nor tho bass on the other, nor even tho organist, Lucy Crunim, who was her bosom friend, guessed that any thing had happened. It camo about in this very commonplace way: Old Brando, the regular tenor, was absent, for tho lirst time in 6even years, from tho Tuesday n'ght rehearsal.

The choir had assembled and stood about, waiting and wondering, and conferring upon Mr. Brando a position apart from nil otlirT tenors on record by their genuine surprise at his delinquency, when there came suddenly up the choir staircase a tail and slim young man, very fair, with plenty of flowing blonde rir that hung in student fashion tn his broad wiiito collar, he spoke, with foreign accent in a high musical voice, addressing Miss Pirot, who happened to be thirty pairs of three-pound bells in ouo uny Jineiy.
