THE WANDERER'S RETURN.
•How cold upon my passion blows the
wind.
Over the old sweet fields—so sweet
that I
Could wander more, yet for all memory
Not sweet enough. Beloved, ah! have I
sinned,
That all but these dumb fields look so un
kind,
And I, without e'en one familiar face.
Must see the darkness in the sunny
place,
And set my feet here, wandering still in
mind?”
Then glancing up, if heaven might look
sweet
L pon his sorrow, one bright star he
spied.
Bnt as he gazed his hungry eyes grew
dim
And the star seemed so many worlds from
him.
Heart sick, he turned; and in the pool
beside,
Lo! the same stAr was shining at his feet.

TREATMENT OF BILIOUSNESS.
What an EngllHh Phyitician Him to Say
of the Ailment—A Word or Two.
The symptoms of biliousness are un
happily but too well known. They dif
fer in different individuals to some ex
tent, however. A bilious man is seldom
a breakfast eater. Two frequently, alas!
lie lias an excellent appetite for liquids,
but nonejor solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at any
time; if it is not white and furred, it is
rough at all events. The digestive sys
tem is wholly out of order; diarrhoea, or
constipation, may be a symtom, or the
two may alternate. There are very often
hemorrhoids, or loss of blood even.
There may bo giddiness, and often
headache, and acidity or ilatulence, and
tenderness at the pit of the stomach.
The pain felt in the right shoulder would
indicate an extra bad case, but apart
from this, there are aching pains and
even stiffness in the limbs, with more or
less of cramps in the limb muscles, or
burning in the palms of the hands, with
hot, perspiring feet.
There may be drowsiness and torpor
by day, and sleeplessness at night, and
all sorts and conditions of mind, es
pecially irritability; flu of bad temper
.that come on suddenly and go off again,
i^id that none are so thoroughly grieved
at as the j>oor patient himself.
Bilious people generally fly for. relief
to aperient pills, and there is no doubt
that they often afford temporary
relief by relieving the over-gorged liver.
This really is antiphlogistic treatment,
hut it assuredly is not radical. When
a fish pond overflows its banks, wo may
let off a portion of the water, but after
this we ought, metliinks, to find our
way to the other end of the pool and
lessen the inflow.
Well, just a word about treatment.
First and foremost then, in sudden bil
ious attacks, that are often accompanied
by groat prostration, and by urgent vom
iting, it is best to send for a medical
man. Such attacks generally come on
in the morning, at the time the body is
most weak. I do not think upon the
whole I should be justified in suggesting
medicinal remedies in this paper, for the
simple reason that cases differ so.
Little good will accrue from treating a
case like this, however, if, when he is
oncemiore well. *tho patient returns to
his old non-hygicnic habits of life.
“What am 1 to do then?” may be asked.
1 will toll you what you are not to do.
You are not to over-eat; you are not to
use sugar or fat to any extent, puddings,
pastry, or cheese. Y ou are not to touch
alcohol. You are not to sit in over
heated rooms. You are neither to over
work nor over-worry yourself. And you
are not to shirk the morning-tub nor
plenty of exercise.
Wliat are you to do for the acidity?
Abstemiousness, and regulation of diet
and habits, will entirely banish it, and
you will have the pleasure of knowing
that its absence is a sign of rejuvenation
of the liver.
If you but try a week of the treatment
I suggest, 1 feel convinced you will once
more feel a pleasure in life, and an in
terest in all your surroundings.
But acidity often leads to rheumatism,
and on this subject I hope to have more
to say another day. 1 shall be quite sat
isfied* with my present paper if it put a
few of my readers on the right road to
health, and that can only be got at by
seeking for and removing first causes in
stead of treating symptoms—Family

YUIt to a Place in Farid Where Skfle-
ton* Are Made—Ohadtly Debris.
The other day being in Paris it oc
curred to me that it would be an excel
lent opportunity of obtaining some really
good osteological preparations which I
bad heard were to be had at a more
reasonable figure than the fancy prices
asked for them in England. One day
while assisting at the clinique of a well-
known physician, one of the patients on
being asked her profession said she
a depiotait les squelettes,” which on in
quiry I ascertained to mean a “bone
peeler.” I at once interested myself in
her condition, which was one of cliloro-
sLs, and ingratiated myself with her so
that a week or two later she acceded,
though reluctantly, to my request, to
take me to the fabrique where the speci
mens were prepared. It was a long
journey, right away into one of the des
ert plains bristling with chimney stacks
which bound Parks on the north side.
The building to which she conducted me
was an immense wooden construction,
subdivided into a main atelier and out
houses. The larger room was occupied
by a series of large cauldrons, the em
anations from which were, even to one
accustomed to the suave odor of the dis
secting-room, nauseating in the extreme,
and the blend formed with that of vari
ous crude antiseptics was more peculiar
than fascinating.
The disarticulation of skulls is carried
on separately, as it is a branch requiring
greater skill and nicety in its manipula
tion. It is effected on the skulls of
young adults or children by the ingeni
ous plan of filling the emptied cranial
cavity with dried pea3, which are then
steeped in water, and in swelling compel
the disjunction more delicately than
could be done in any other way. Some
of the cauldrons contained the bodies of
animals whose skeletons, if not as valua
ble as those of human beings, are still in
dispensable for the study of natural his
tory, and are forwarded in large num
bers to the various collegiate establish
ments in France and abroad. After a
prolonged boiling the limbs are placed
on a table and the adhering tissues care
fully removed, each workman or work
woman 1 laving his or her own specialty.
I saw some men at work on frogs, liz
ards, etc., to obtain a satisfactory prep
aration of which requires a special and
highly remunerated dexterity. The
grease which collected at the top of the
vats was scooped off and consigned to a
receptacle in the corner of the room, but
its ultimate destination I was unable to
ascertain.
The bones are then bleached, the
cheaper varieties simply by means of
chloride of lime, the better ones in the
sun, and they ultimately pass into the
finishing room, where they are titivated,
assorted and converted, as far as may
be, into “articulated skeletons.” It re
quires no small amount of ingenuity and
knowledge of this particular department
to be able to choose out of the miscel
laneous collection of bones wherewith
to construct a skeleton which shall pass
muster for that of a single individual,
and only the best bones are so adapted,
the remainder going to make up the dis
articulated and half skeletons which
have to answer the purpose of study for
the more economically.disposed students.
Curiously enough, the sex appeared to
have a distinct influence on the value of
the skeleton, a female skeleton possess
ing a value many francs higher than
that of the corresponding male.
In another tank, awaiting treatment,
were a number of infant bodies, varying
from minus four months to plus several
days. In the show rooms they were ar
ranged in a graduated scale (echelle
inontante), from the diminutive little ex
mortal, whose height did not exceed
four inches, to the adult baby, measur
ing from eighteen to twenty, all being
in the attitude known in the military
world as that of “attention.” These
have a special value of their own, far
greater in proportion to their size than
that of their bigger brethren. I natu
rally wondered where all the bodies
came from. I was told that the dissect
ing rooms and hospitals furnished a
large proportion, and that the proprie
tor of the establishment took care to
monopolize the supply, which was al
ways short of the demand.—London
Medical Press.
American Contractors In Foreign Lands.
In traveling through Mexico, Central
and South America, and some parts of
Europe 1 , I have been struck by the fact
that ’*nited States contractors and specu
lators always pay American rates of
wages, while Englishmen take nd\pn-
taae of any local rates which may profit
them. Thus in Mexico contracts are car
ried out side by side, and while Ann r-
ican contractors pay $1 and §1.25 a day,
European bosses pay fifty cents and
seventy-five cents. It is just the spine
in the Argentine republic, on all the pub
lic works there. Local labor is absurdly
cheap, and English contractors pay just
as little as they can, while Americans
nav decent rates all through, and in the
long run come out the best, their terms
attracting all the best men. —J. S. Mc
Ginnis in Globe-Democrat.

To numerous special correspond

triathe was sure the public did not

He believes the people are willing
to concede this to him, and so far
as their requirements are concern

will be satisfied to permit him a re

willing that this should be accorded

The Russian press persists in
maintaining that the recent meeting
between the German and Austrian
emperors brought a closer approach-
inent between Germany and Aus
tria and a relative estrangement
between these two powers and Rus
sia. The newspapers of St Peters
burg and Moscow have become
very hostile to Germany and de
vote much space to the attack on
thewhole German race. Military
circles in Berlin are indignant
over the conduct of the
Russian officers in St Petersburg
in recently banqueting Paul fie
Renlede, tiie great French advocate
in Russia of war against Germany.
At tne benquet the Frenchman
delivered a speech advocating a
Franco-Russian alliance against
Germany. Tire speech was loudly
cheered. The Russian militaiy
attache of the German erubos^y at
St Petersburg has not been invited
to be present at the Russian mil
itary manoevres at Warsaw.
