hardly be poasensed. There is an aroma'
of taste, too, about wedding gifts that

Susceptibility ta
Of several persons who have been
equally exposed to chilly weather one
takes a fatal cold, while the others art
wholly unaffected. When scarlet fever
or diphtheria enters a family it is a rare
rrring for all the members to be attacked.
lhe great majority escaped la grippe
during its late prevalence. And the
same is true of epdemics of ewary kind
and degree.
This difference is mainly doe to differ
ence in personal suaccpUbility, inherited
or acquired. Disease invades the body

This is one reanon for Uie astounding
mortality of infants, so immensely be
yond that in the young of some of tha
lower animals. Many persons who start
with small power of resistance carry it
through life. Their only hope is con -
stant care and freedom from exposure.
But of those who reach adult age the.
greater port may be supposed to have
inherited an average measure of physi-
cal soundneps. Whence their susceptM
bility to disea'? It comes from phyd-1

There was a meeting m that church one
evening, and everything was moving
along very pleasantly when the pastor
said: "Now, we are going to take up a
collection, and if the amount donated is
satixf actorily large I will sing for yos
sing anytning you ask fur."
The congregation then shelled out ita
ecaitrilmtion. It must have been "satis
factorily large," for the paste stepped
to tbe front and said: "IU sing now.
