WHAT MAKHpiBY CRY.
SIGNS WHICH INDICATE DISEASE
IN INFANT®.
A Physician’s to
Mothers and Nliflttipivillints from a
Lecture by Dr. Chen ary, o: Harvard,
Before the Boston lAdfijJpPliysioloeri
cal Institute. J^HB|
From the Wmrd.
Before we can understand t£r* syllable of
infantile pathology, we mtUfrat learn the
alphabet of inftmtUphya(oly; for here,
as with older persona, a elearltnowledge of
what is normal in function is
necessary, as the “cerium stake and stones’’
to form a point front which tp determine all
abnormal departure*] Naturl demands that
twenty out of the twp'JHpfcur hours be
passed in sleep for tb^jSMrt' month, and for
the first few days nearly Wi th'- time aunts,
uncles, cousins, graflflastrsats and neighbors
wishing to see thou baby*■■Siopvittastauding.
Now look at that, iiUfcalpeper and study
your lesson. Its poaitJqjjuKtosy and natu
ral. It is not daslaHgKlpe. The lips are
not white, nor The skin is
soft and slightly sweaty nor
dry, nor is there eyciiMyiß,tiipist'are on the
hands or head expression
is natural, not ltaflHu3E,oces not kick,
toss, twist, moan, jaws or teeth, it
it has any. The nptfHlneirlt quietly; are
not contracted or exjwndea* The fontanelle
is not widely open; nofi' ft it. closed; it is
not depressed nor swollen up hard and
throbbing, but gently moves with every
respiration. The eyes are closed, rolled
up,' and the pupils are evenly con
tracted, as one under a heavy dose of opium,
but they immediately expand on awaking.
When the child is asleep, the first week the
pulse is about 1112; it quickens ten or fifteen
boats on awaking, and grows more rapid on
nursing, excitement or fright. It gradually
slows with age, and at the end of the third
year gets down to 100 or 00. or even less. It
does not decrease so much during sleep, nor
fly so furiously under fright or excitement,
and, should it now rush up to 130 or more
with heat and sickness, it is well to think
of nuts, plum-cake or a liberal handful of
candy.
SLEEPING AND WAKING.
Notice the head—its shape and temper
ature; the long bones—whether they be
straight and then-heads small: the respira
tion—it is easy and natural, with a rapidity
of about 84 while the child is asleep and on
an average of 80 when awake} During‘the
second year it gets down to 18 in sleep,
where it remains for several years, always
rising when the child awakes. Put your
hand on the child. Is it warm, not hot nor
cold; Is the flesh firm, not hal'd nor soft!
Having begun your lesson, goon using your
senses till you have made' yourself largely
and accurately familiar with whatever lie
longs to the normal general appearance and
function of the child when asleep and
awake, and know that, as a negro will put
down his burden before he answers your
question, so the infant holds its breath when
ever it moves its head or hand or tries to
smile.
Not oply will the practical physician see
all these things and make deductions accord
ingly, but he looks at the parents, the older
children, the room—its furnishings, neat
ness. surroundings, its air, light, heat, etc.
Dr. Dubrunfant says red should be pro
scribed for our furniture, except for the cur
tains. Whether he Is correct in this or not
it is certain that light is of immense import
ance to sound health and growth, being pre
servative against disease as it is curative in
sickness.
THE CHILD’S CRYING.
The child, on beg inning to breathe, should
plump up, grow firm and rosy and yell
loudly. After crying out a little—and we
.-eek to make it do tliat for the purpose of
insuring full expansion of the air-cell—the
normally born child will stop its crying if it
is all right and properly cared for. But it
may soon begin to cry again, and what does
this mean? It means that the child feels
that something is wrong, and this is the way
it makes its feelings known. Go, then, and
see what the matter is, and do not give up
the search till you have found out. The
child may feel cold; it may be constrained
in some part or it is pressed upon, or, most
likely, it has been wrapped in a woolen
blanket, and the cut ends of the wool are
teasing its tender skin and it is in torment.
Most people think that there is a natural
affinity between the delicate surface of the
child, which has hitherto felt only the touch
of a bland fluid, and a woolen garment.
Now, I have experimented on this subject
till I am satisfied there never was, and there
never will be.
WOOLEN CLOTHING.
And yet what woman about to become a
mother will not go down town and buy a
woolen outfit—band, socks, blanket and all,
and what is not wool is made up of starched
or gum-arabic stiffened cotton? When
these are tightly on, vvhk* has the little suf
fering creature'to do but ,‘o cry and tell
how uncomfortable it is and that it cannot
sleep? Awhile since there was a yelling in
my neighborhood flay and night, and for
the sake of all concerned I told my wife to
go in and see if the suffering creature was
not dressed in woolen, and if so to tear up
some old pillow slip and tuck the pieces in
between the clothes and the child. She went
and we heard no more noise from that quar
ter.
Sow. I do not mean to bring a railing
accusation against wool as an article of
chess for a child, but what I do mean to say
is, that a woolen garment should never be
applied next to the skin of a child. Let all
woolen garments be lined or worn outside
pf others. In the neglect of this rule wool
has slain its thousands. If it has not
directly killed them it has caused them to
cry till they were killed by dosing. If they
have escaped out of all this they have been
seriously, if not hopelessly, injured. More
over, who can tell the wretchedness brought
on the mothers from worry aud loss of
sleep}
THE BATH. ,
But the child cries when it is washed.
And why should it not? What says your
Physiology ? The temperature of the new-
P°ru sinks considerably below normal dur
>ng the first few minutes. In a chilled eon
<-i:ion do you take your baths? If so, do
you oq it hi a cool room? The application
, hspid water further abstracts the bodily
mat and renders the child more uncom
fortable, and it speaks out as it ought to.
-Vnv what will be the result if you use tepid
, wstead of the w ater ? Will the child cry ?
- think not. Not only is water used
■ ueh chills the child, but auntie uses soap
i ’ ’he water and splashes the suds into the
I'ut’v s eyes, which It has not yot learned to
Kcen.tjgiitiy closed. It cries with the smart
“"I is likely to cry for the next fortnight
nil sure eyes. I declare it is my belief
tn<i. a very large proportion of the cases of
oujunotival inflammation I have seen in

' ''aye come from ophthalmia neona

*bcse must wo not credit to the mis-
UWI of this useful agent?
WHY THB CHILD CBUCS.
♦hfi i n is always something wrong when
inf i , cries at necessary attentions. Most
Keiy the fault is our own, in that we have
h 1 , our work as we should have done
o' niluren do not cry for nothing. If
,! ‘“‘l wu should lie justified in giving
“ to tbe Hindoo to lie drowned; for
at would they not say if they lived to
Blew up? J
cl 1 !? , chil( J cries when it is swaddled too
' ' when a pin pricks; when It is
*# irritated by too \infrequent
~j t wet diapers. It cries when it is
kiw. 1 *."" 1 P r °pdrly fed; when its mouth
ii o', ,UM , wants wafer; when it can’t get
when it is too warm or too cold.
* iJ,T, 'i OIU sto, uni 'h ache and from colic;
In e 1,.., i are cviiAtipatcd or inflamed.
W .of 1 ' of tlio bowels its note is
murmuring. f
Mmsf t l , lorows itilf alxiut pn its sleep,
and cries out tfroni the ftritation of
pm worms, particularly on the full moon,
it gives a distressful cry at the close of a
suppressed cough in pleurisy aud in pneu
monia. and in acute bronchitis. When it
nas acute coryza it cries because it cannot
nufse, not being able to breathe through its
nose. It cries sharply with earache, putting
its hand to its ear or pressing the side of the
nead down upon the breast of its mother.
Sharp, piercing cries suggest brain aud
eerebro-spinal troubles.
But nature has made the child to bear a
great deal w ithout crying, as it otherwise
would, because of imperfect development of
the nerves of feeling. Infantile anatomy
snows us that the cornua of the posterior
columns of the spinal cord, from which the
sensitive nerves spring, are not advanced in
development as is the case with the anterior,
U'oni which the nerves of motion spring.
And this accounts for the fact that the small
child may fall, get cut, be stepped on, or
get its lingere in the door or under the win
dow and not be hurt so much or suffer so
long with the same injury as would be the
case with older children. It also accounts
for the fact that they have a great ten
dency to spasms and convulsions, as com
pared with the older, and when they do
occur they do not mean so much. It is only
in grave diseases that older children have
convulsions, except in epilepsy. There is
also another fact to be noticed. The
lachrymal glands do not come to their func
tions till about the fourth month, so that
the cry of the young infant is without tears,
while after four months it is not a good sign
for a child to cry and not shed tears. Thus
the great French physician. Trousseau, con
sidered it a good sigii for the child over four
months up to seven years to shed tears when
it cried, and a tearless crying to be a bad
omen.
MORALS OF THE RED MAN.
Criticism of the Government by the
Indian School Organ.
From Washington Tetter to the Sew York
Herald.
About two weeks ago the result of the ob
servations of a special committee of the
United States Senate, consisting of Sena
tors Platt of Connecticut, Culloin of
Illinois, and Blackburn of Kentucky, in re
gard to the manner in which Indian trader
ships and o'ther Indian matters generally
were conducted, was published. The Morn
ing Star, the organ of the Indian schools,
has this to say in reply to the semi-official
publication of Senatorial opinion:
WISE SENATORS.
“So the Senatorial committee were spec
tators at an Indian dance. It will be noted
that the dispatch says nothing about their
having visited the'lndian school at the
Osage Agency. Their visit to the dance and
omission of the school would indicate to the
Indians that the dance was the important
element of the reservation life they wished
to see. The fact that they came to criticise
and condemn will probably never reach the
Indians, who will rest under the belief that
they did the most proper thing they could to
entertain their great visitors. We do not
disagree with the general statements show
ing the want of progress among
the Osages. It would be singular
if they did make progress when they have
fifty miles square of land set apart for their
exclusive use, from which is shut out in the
most absolute manner every element of and
necessity for instruction and progress per
taining to our civilization except tne merest
noffiinal showing of an agent and a few em
ployes. Commerce, except that of a trader
or two whose acts the committee wexe in
quiring into, is prohibited. Industry, mills,
manufactures of every sort dare not enter,
railroads cannot go. Schools and churches
find no welcome outside the one agency
school. The people are all the wards of the
government, and the government has as
sumed all responsibility over them mentally,
morally and physically.
HINDERED FROM IMPROVEMENT.
“By the exclusion of industrial helps, etc.
—these absolutely indispensable factors in
the elevation of all men—the government
has indicated unmistakably its intention to
starve and destroy these people mentally,
morally and physically. The statement,
‘but to find that beings who had experi
enced the best efforts of American philan
throphy for a score of years had made no
appreciable advance beyond the state of
their savage ancestors was an unexpected
and painful revelation,’ shows plainly that
this committee of great men were com
pletely blinded as to the facts. We have
known the Osages for many years, and ob
served their condition personally from time
to time, and feel free to say that ‘the best
efforts of American philanthropy,’ as illus
trated in what has gone to them, is only
paralleled in absurdity by the inquiries
and criticisms of the committee in regard
to the young men alleged to be ‘Carlisle
graduates.’ Turning to our record, we find
that we have had in all at this school eighty
four Osages; that none of them stayed with
us over three years; that more than half
stayed with us less than a year, and that we
have had no Usages at the school since
Aug. 17, 1885, at which time the then about
forty were ordered to Martinsburg, Pa. The
day of miracles has not yet returned, and
Indians cannot be educated and graduated
in three years any better than white
children. But the point on which we would
lay'the most stress is the fact that there is
no evidence that the committee made
inquiries into the condition of the other
eighty-two, who hail been at Carlisle.
THOSE HORRIBLE DANCES.
“Another singular conict-like phenome
non in connection with this subject is to be
found in the records the daily press has
kept covering the transactions of these same
days in the world’s history. After a long
period of a most wonderful popularity and
success in this country Buffalo Bill with
100 Indians (not Osages, but kindred Sioux,
Pawnees and Cheyennes), giving illustra
tions of the same dances that so terrified
this Senatorial committee, has transferred
his show from our great metropolis to the
English capital, and there we are told that
the sovereign of that empire upon which
the sun never sets visited it in state as a
patron to witness these very same Indian
dances. She keeps back hv the use of 500 police
men the popular presence in order that she
may have tne sole benefit and delectation of
gazing upon 100 naked, painted andbefeath
ered savages. The real and disgusting at
tendant evils of the Osage dance no one
would dare publish. We have reason to
know that these evils are not materially
modified in the realistic illustrations given
by this show in New York and London, but
when they furnish entertainments and se
cure patronage from royalty and Senators
they certainly say to the Indians, ‘On with
the dance, let joy bo unconfined.' Thus
favored by high patronage, hell becomes a
popular resort.”
Prof. Henry iqiviscs farmers to go slow
on alfalfa. He thinks as well enough to ex
periment with it, but has little faith in its
proving profitable except where it can be
irrigated mid on land having a loose, porous
subsoil manv feet in depth. At the Wis
consin experiment station ho had never suc
ceeded in getting it through the second
winter. Ho thinks the common red clover
far superior to it. except where the alfalfa
can lie irrigated, and is further of the opin
ion that tin* sweet clover (MeUi-tohis ofba)
has more value as a forage plant than it has
been given credit for. though not commit
