Bennie’s Wife.
C. W. BARBER TOWLES.
•It is surprising that the boys now-a-days usu
ally marry the weaktst milk-sops in creation,’
exclaimed Mrs. Delmere to her husband; ‘there
is our Bennie, the boy 1 nursed frem babyhood
and thought good enough to be a prince, has
gone and married Mabel Springer, a little sick
ly, puny thing, who is no more fit to be a wife
than that white hyacinth yonder, and now to
see how he dotes on her! Why, she can't s;y
she wants a new drees, but off he goes to get it
lor her, as ii it wasn t a woman’s business to do
her own shopping.’
•YjS,' replied her husfcaDd, laughing, ‘it is as
much as we ought to do to tnrnish the money; it
keeps some ol us pretty busy to provide that.’
•Ihats neither here nor there,’ she replied,
‘wives generally earn all they get, bat Mabel
Springer will never make back lor Bennie the
salt that goes in her bread.’
‘Ainr you a Intletoo hard on thegirl, Eunice?
She s young and ircm tLe cunntrv and its nat
ural she should be homesick. 1 think you ought
to be mtr > lenient with Bennie’s wife. She has
faults without doubt, but if our own daughter
Fannie was situated as she is, you d be very an
gry with the mother-in-law who not only dwelt
upon her faults, but ma.nified them.’
•Fannie will be a different wile when shs
marries,’ replied Mrs. Dtimero with quite a pos
itive air. 'I ruisi d her myself and the man who
marries her will get a treasure.’
The conversation whs interrupted by the en
trance of Bennie- a young man not yet t venty-
three years old, with a flue opm countenance,
and a world ot Lixiunesb sbinijg in his mild
grey eyes,
‘Mother,’ he said in a gentle yet anxious tone,
‘I wish you would esk sister to step into our
room and s.t with Mabel until I come back. I
shall not be gont down town long, my wife is
snfif.riug so much from nervous headrche this
morning I diblike to leave her alone.’
Ilis mother was on, the point of saying, ‘0.
fudge, Bennie! don't make yourself such a fool.
Your wife‘s well enough I dare say,‘ but her
son was an only one and had been indulged
from earliest boyhood. It wa: hard to begin to
say nay'io his wishes now, so she withdrew the
cold glazmess horn her eyes and replied,
‘Very well, Fannie will go and sit with her.*
Bennie turned with a relieved expression up
on his face, while bis mother called to his sis
ter to go up and take care ot Mabel until his re
turn.
When the girl entered the room, she saw at a
glance that her sister-in-law was indeed a suf
ferer. She sat in a rocking chair by an opeD
window, her head resting among pillows and
the line almcsi of death upon tier features.
Fannie had often heard her mother's unkind
remarks about Bennie’s wife, bat the scene be
fore her touched her heart and she moved softly
over the carpet and spoke in a gentle tone when
she asked ‘Are you leeiing very much worse to
day, sister?*
It was a sweet face that looked up and tried
to smile in response to the question.
•Yes, I have one of my spells of nervons head
ache; it will pass away in the course of an hour
or two, I dare say. I am sorry Bennie troubled
you. I told him I could stay alone if it was not
convenient for you to come.*
‘O, it was a pleasure,’ said the really kind
hearted Fannie. ‘What can I do for you?'
'Nothing; rest and quiet will restore me.
Take a book and amuse yourself until B.nnie
returns.’
A the expiration of a half lour the young
man entered. His face was flashed by some
pleasurable emotion and he carried an open let
ter in his hand.
‘0, Fan.’ he sail, addressing his s'ster, ‘I
have great news Uncle Henry has arrived from
China. He ij in New York and will be here day
after to-morrow. He has sent mother a box of
rare and delicious tea, and you one of the love
liest embroidered shawls 1 ever saw—a thons
and times prettier than any ca-bmcre. Mabel,
my love, you must make haste and get well
enough to welcome him.’
The youDg wife smiled faintly. She was
thinking there would have to be a great improve
ment in her feelings before Bhe was well enough
to greet anybody.
Henry Delmere—the uncle referred to—had
lefe his native land years before to traffic and
trade in China. He had dealt largely in silks
and teas and amassed a princely fortune in the
land of the Celestials. His visits to America
were few and far between and his relatives look
ed forward to them with joy and fond anticipa
tions.
it was a bright spring afternoon when this
eastern merchant arrived at tbe depot in Heath-
dale where the Delmeres resided. He was a tall,
broad-shouldered man, with hair and beard
plentifully sprinkled with grey. His face wore
a hale, hearty lock and w as lit by grey‘benig
nant eyes.
‘B ess my soul, Ben,’ he said, slappiDg his
nephew on the back when the youDg man met
him under the car-sLedand introduced himself.
‘I left you at the time of my last visit a mere
lad and now I find you grown and— married you
say? Well, coming back here makes me feel like
a kind of Methusaleh, yet when I am in Canton i
am fur from realizing that the days and weeks
fly so fast.’
‘And this is Fannie ?’ he continued. ‘I came
near sending a doll to her instead of a shawl.
What’s that, Miss ? you’re quite too old to play
with dolls now ! That’s so, but I could not
keep from thinking of you &b the mere baby I
left behind when 1 sailed ior the Celestial Em
pire.’
In conversation like this, the party reached
the house of the Delmeres’.
Poor Mabel had done her best to get well
enough to receive this much prized uncle, but
alas ! the throbbing head and w eak limbs attested
her utter unfitness to appear in the drawing
room where the guest was received. Several
days elapsed and she bad not even caught a
glimpse of him through her window. At length
the visitor himself referred to her absence.
‘I have not seen Bennie's wife yet,’ he said to
his sister-in-law one morning when the family
had left the breaklast table and the two were
alone together in the dia.ring-room; ‘the boy is
a fiae manly fellow, one to be proud of, I hope
he has married well.’
Mrs. Delmere gave a significant little sniff.
•She's not much,’ s ie replied. ‘I call it rather
a poor stick Bennie picked up. He could have
cone a thousand times better, but there's little
use in laying anything now. Marriage is a knot
that can’t be untied.’
‘Pshaw ! pshaw ! it isn’t as bad as that; the
boy don’t want to get out of the noose already 1
hope. He isn’t tired of her is he?’
■O, no, he is as blind to her faults as a beetle.
He thinks she's perfect.’
‘For heaven's sake let him think so sister
whatever her faults may be. “Where ignorance
is bliss’tie folly to be wise.” What's tbe mat
ter—an invalid, heyV Well, if she’s sweet tem
pered, that can be borne with, Many a man
1/as married a shrew and beeu happy wi h her
jnst becacee he was determined to be so from
the very fi.st. She must nol be condemned on
account of L^r bealiL; we can’t any of us con
trol disease. By the way, I feel a little feverish
and sick mjs< If this morning. I w as exposed
to smali-pex in New Y >rk and it wouldn’t sur-
pxisn-me it i was taking that.’
‘Biuali-pcx ! fj-:<juhi+ed Mrs. Delmere in con
sternation. ‘lanme bus never bttL evtn vac-J
oinated, and I myself—well—hem, I shouldn’t
like to take it.’
‘Perhaps, then, sister, you and my niece had
best keep as far away from me as possible. Let
Bennie and his wife also know of the danger.’
Mrs. Delmere hastily left tbe room and in less
than a half hour afterwards, she and Fannie left
the bouse.
The merchant took to his bed. He was alone
as he supposed in hiB brother’s house. He
thought about hiring a nurse, but he really felt
too ill to make the effort. He had aching pains
in his bones and drank copious draughts of wa
ter. His face became red and splotched and
his head pained him sadly.
He was aroused by a slight tap at the door
and looking up was surprised to see a slight,
pale girl enter and approach his bed.
•This is Uncle Henry, I suppose,’ she said,
‘and I am Bennie’s wife. Bennie will be here
presently; he has gone for a physician.’
‘Bennies wife.’ exclaimed the old man, eye
ing her sharply. ‘Tut! child, I thought you
were sick yourself. Do you know that in com
ing to me. you may be coming in contact with
small-pox ?‘
•Yes, mother sent us word, but Bennie and I
both decided that you must be carefully nursed,
no mat er what youi disease might be. I have
been ill, but am feeling much better this morn
ing; almost like my old self again. I told my
husband I would slay with yon and he must
hurry awiy to get a physician. He has gone
for Dr. Siangh>er—the best medical man in
town. ‘
•You have been vaccinated, I suppose.*
‘No, I don't remember to Lave beeD, but pray
dowt give yourself a moment's uneasiness about
us. We shall come out all right, I dare siy. ‘
‘Y iu are an angel,• be murmured as be drew
tbe quilt over his head. ‘Hump! Bennie's
rrif j a poor stick, I say it!‘
Dr. daughter came and carefully tximined
his patient.
‘YVby, captain,* be said with a ringing laugh,
•it is not small-pox at all—it is measles in its
mildest form. A few warm teas and a room kept
at an even temperature will set you all right,
and in young Dvdmere and his wife you will
have t vo excellent nurses Here comes your
brother Isaac, looking troubled as if every bank
in Christendom had broken and all his worldly
possessions bad been swallowed up with them.
Don*. be distressed, Mr. Delmere, your brother
has the meas es instead of small-pox. ‘
‘Bless the Lord for that,* grid the new oomer
with a smile. ‘Eunice and Fannie sent for me
aDd are half beside themselves with fear. ‘
•Send for them to come back, ‘ said Bennie.
No, stay, I will go for them myself,*
Mrs. Delmere cane back accompanied b~ Fan
nie a id was very demonstrative and affection
ate, declaring that her dear brother Henry was
the beBt man in the world and Bhe was so thank
fal it was only moaslcs.
Bennie and his wife watched unceasingly by
the old gentleman's bed, for he was very sick.
Measles is thought to be a slight ailment, but
there were times when tbe merchant wondered
if smali-pox oonld have been much worse. But
be recovered and in a few weeks retained to
China.
Two years after, he died, and when the will
he left was opened, many were surprised that a
hundred thousand dollars had been left to Ben
nie's wife.
‘It is surprising,' said the mother-in-law, ‘how
the minx ingratiated herself bo into favor, for I
always did think Mabel Springer was a poor
stick, ‘
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

ATLANTA, GA.
Vaccination —The protective pow?r of »a -
ci iH.tion against small-pox is so well esia jlished
that it is needless to adduoe any evidence on
this point. It should be performed early, re
gardless of the unfounded fears and prejudices
which have arisen from the bad effects of using
impure matter. The dangers of vaccination are
greatly exaggerated, and they can be avoided by
due care in the solution of the inate'ial used in
the operation. The recent introduction of the
use of “bovine viras,”or matter obtained direct
ly from toe cow, has grea 1/ diminished the
dangers of vauoination, as these arise from the
insertion o matter which h is been poisoned by
passing t irongh a human body aff cted with
scrofula, or some other disease, which is com
municable through the matter used ; and which
is the cause of the very disagreeable affects that
have beeD erroneously charged to the vaccina
tion itself. Evan admitting that in some rare
cases the operation may be followed by unpleas
ant effects, no one will presume to say that such
highly exceptioual, contingent, and readily
avoidable results are sufficient to justify any one
in incurring the oertain and terrible dangers of
small pox. Ali children, then, should be vacci
nated, and when there is nothing in the health
of the child to forbid, it should be done early—
as early as a month or six weeks after birth.
The operation should be repeated from time to
time, until fully assured that the vaccination
has taken. The signs by which this is known
are familiar to physicians, and mothers should
be acquainted with them. No sign is distinc'.ly
visible for two or three days. On the fourth
day a red pimple can be seen and fslt. On the
fifth day this becohies a vesicle, or watery pim
ple which gradually enlarges into a cylindrical
or bat-Bbape ; and by the tenth or eleventh day
a depression or sinking is seen on the top of
this vesicle, as if the c.own of the hat had been
ma6hed in. About the eighth day, a bright red
ring appears aronnd the vesicle, this redness
gradually fading, when the vesicle begins to
dry np, leaving a thick dark scab, when it has
passed through its different stages. The scar
of vaccination is an important characteristic by
which the success of the operation can generally
be determined. Tbe scar in a good vaccination
should be as large as the preceding vesicle ; but
tbe most peculiar f .ature i-< the dotting over oi
the scar with a number of little white spots or
depressions, resembling indentation made by
pin heads pressed into the skin.
It is a common opinion among the people
that re-vaccination should be performed at least
every seven years. But in many cases, a aicgle
vaccination is full protection for life. S.ill as
there are exceptions to this it is proper to re
vaccinate whenever greatly exposed to small
pox, and especially when there has been a con
siderable interval since the previous vaccina
tion. And even in the absence of unusual ex
posure, it is advisable to repeat the little opera
tion after the age of puberty, if it has been done
in early life, as it should be in all cases. No
one should think of incurring the risk of small
pox, when the protection afforded by vaccina
tion is so perfect, and the danger from vaccina
tion, with proper care in selecting matter, so
little as, comparatively, to amount to nothing.
Decent researches seem to show that the pro
tection of vaccination is increased by inserting
the matter at mere than one point. Tnat is, by
making trom three to six punctures near to
each other, at the usual place, on the outer and
upper part ol the arm, near the shoulder. The
main thn g is to pe r pure matter either frem a
reliable dealer or irom p. healthy child, who has
been vaccinated dir< ctly trem the cow, w s
“bovine virus," which can now be ordered Irom
persors ftho make it a business to procure it
from its original scare.*. Hari ig obtained Buy
able matter, any mother can ineeit it nersell.
sk’n, or, what is better by drawing a thread,
moistened with the matter, through small por
tions of the enter skin, which should be pinched
np so as to pass the needle beneath tbe pinch of
skin, drawing it through with the thread fol
lowing it. The tbread should be drawn through,
and not left in the skio. The matter will, in
this way, be sure to be deposited in the right
plac.3, j ist beoeat’i the thin outer skin or cu-
t'cle. With the By.apt ms a'ready given, any
intelligent mother can tell wbeher the mat er
“lakes,” and therefore, she need not wait fer a
doctor either to perform the operation, or to
decide whether it is effectual.
Thrush, or Sore Mouth.— This
is commonly known as 'the thra.h. In is fre
quently seen in young children, and is gener
ally accompanied or caused by debility and im
pairment of the vital powers, as the result of
want of pure air and wholesome food. It ap
pears first in the form of little white specks on
the lips, cheek, anl sometimes on the tongue
and gums. After a while these white, curdy
specks fall off leavings ro igli suiface, which
is soon covered again by a reproduction of the
same white curdy deposits that first appeared.
The treatment of this aff ctioa consists princi
pally in the die-t, which should consist of bciIt,
to the exclusion of almost everything else. If
the bowels aie disordered, and especially if the
discharges are greeoish, a little magnesia, chalk,
or solution of eurbonuteof sida may be ,given.
The month should bo washed frequently with
cold water, or tb6 child may melt s call pieces
’of ice in the mouth. 0 her local remedies are
alum and borax. The borax is prepared by
rubbing np finely one part to two or three part*
of loaf sugar. It is then applied to all the af
flicted parts once or twice a day by wrapping a
soft cloth aronnd tbe fi tger, which is dipped
into the powder, and gantly rubbed ovar the af
fected pasts. The aiuui may be used in s fi lid
form by dissolving it in honey and sage tea. A
favorite remedy with many motLers is alum
rubbed up with the yeliowof a hard-boiled
AH these should be thoroughly applied with the
cloth and finger, 83 directed above. .
Convulsionso&diildrcn - CoJvn ; s : ons
or ‘fits,’ ar-.t a c .maiou c mpiic.*iion of t •« hing,
andjespecially with children that are dosed witn
opiates and astringents, and fed on meats,
greasy food, pis ries, tea, coffee, and other gross
or stimulating diet or drinks. Of all the dis
orders of ini&ncy, these are, perhaps, the most
formidable in appearance, a id tbe most heart
rending to mothers. Every mother, who has
se9n her darling child writhing under a fit,
with body s’iff and immovable, with twitching
musclfs, clenched hands, glaring eye-balls,
labored breathing, livid face and distorted fea
tures, has the horrid picture ineflaceabiy en
graved on bar memory, and she can recognize
the approach of the dreaded disorder on the
appeata^ca of the usual premonitions, snob as
starting in sleep, rolling of the eyes upward,
half-closed eye-lids, and twitching or jerking of
the muscles of the fingers and mouth.
While convulsions are a frequent accompani
ment of teething, they, in most cases, result
from the sudden cheeking of the diarkoe , of
teethiDg and from improper feeding, and not
from the direct irritation of the teething itself.
Therefore, the principal thing in the prevention
and treatment of suoh oases is to avoid the nee
of opiates and astringents, and to use a bland,
digestible and uusiimulating diet, such as that
mentioned in the article on Teething. As soon
as a child nas the slightest symptoms of ap-
proaching convulsion*, the whole body, np to
the chin, should be immersed in milk-.varm
water, and at the ftojye time oold water should
be poured on fSi$*USu j vl Lil< the latter i3 turned
over the edgajof tmA, ba hing tub. The little
patient should remain in the bath nr til the sys
tem is thoroughly impr sse 1, which will be in
dicated by a s ight paleness and perspiration of
the face, a languid expression of the eves and a
disposition to sleep. He should then be taken
out of the bath, quickly dried, and placed iu
bed, or in the nurse’s arms ; then a do h wet in
cold water should be laid on the bead. This ‘
cloth should be wet again as often as becomes
the least «t‘m.
It is best to put do clothing on the child, ex
cept a gown or wrapper, so that it may be rap
idly undressed and placed ayain in the bath on
the recurrence of any symptoms of another at
tack of spasms. The water should always be
kept ready, so that there may be no delay in the
ase of the bath when Deeded. If the gums are
swollen, they should be out, as dUecied in a
previous art cle. This simple treatment will be
sufficient iu most oises of convulsions iu chil
dren, which, af.er all, with proper management,
are more dangerous in appearance than in re
ality.
A Curious Play.
The old Passion Piay was recently performed
at the Opera House in San Francisco to a full
audience. It iB a curious relic of mediaeval
sacred literature ; but it must be admitted to
look comical and profane on the modern stag .
The cast was as follows : Jesus Gurist, James
O Neil; Pontius Pi ate, Lewis Morrison ; Herod,
Samuel W. Piercy ; Simeon, A. D. Bradley ;
High Priest, F. M. Robinson ; Joseph, J. N
Long ; Judas Is ariot, King Hedley ; Peter, J.
Ambrose ; First Levite, J. W. Thompson ; the
Virgin Mary, Miss May Wilkes ; Heroriias, Mis^
Kate Dannin ; Salome, Miss Olive West; The
Witch of Eador, Mrs. Farran. The overtare
opens with the beautiful strain of sicrel music,
and the curtain rises on the presentation in tbe
temple, where Simeon announces the divinity
of Jesus Christ. Toe high priest is incensed,
and sieks Herod, whom Anna denounces iu
terms of reproach and of inspiration, Ames-
sage arrives from Herod to destroy the child,
but as the centurian is about to stab him hiB
anger is changed to adoration, and he furnishes
to Jjseph the means to escape from E^ypt. The
second scene represents the flight, and when,
overcome by privation and fatigue, the holy
family seek rest under a sycamore, the foliage
grows miraculously and envelops them, biding
them from the soldiery, who, in pursuance of
Herod's edict, proceed to tbe massacre of the
innocents. The third 8.-one represents Herod
in his place, with Herodias, his wife, pleading
for the death of John the Baptist, who in the
desert denounced her as impure and criminal.
Herod refuses, but it is the birthday of Salome,
a daughter of the q icea by a former husband,
and to her be promises the fulfillment of any
wish she may make. Then Herodias induces^
her to claim the head of John the Baptist; the •
high priests denounce the Saviour for bis doc
trines and his miracles, and demand the perse
cution. Hi rod refuses, and soon after the death
of John the Baptist his army is overthrown, and,
recogniz ng the ministry of tbe Saviour, he
declares that henceforth he shall be held sacred.
The fifth soene represents the Brook of Kedron,
where the Saviour, assemble wiih bit disciples,
hears of the death o’ John the Baptist, and amid
their prayers and lamentations resound a chorus
of cherubs. The sixth scene the Lord's supper,
and when the disciples sleep during the agony
in the garden, Jadas arrives with the soldiery
and betrays his master by a kiss. The Saviour
is seized, and performs a miracle before heis
carried efi' to trial. The final scene is the
G ibatha, with Pontine Pilate in tbe scat of j ’.s-
tice. The ini trialed populace, led by tneir
priests, insis. on the death of Jsscs and on the
release o! Barsbbas. Politics Pilate protests in
vuiu wi »iiist their vindictive itsolve, but at last
yields, under protest to their desires, showing
ob diet c • to Jewish religious tenets rather than
R >man law. J bus Christ is seized and
The discouraged collector again presented
that little matter. ‘Well,’ says his friend, *you
are round again ?' ‘Yes,’ says the fellow, with
the account in his hand, ‘but I want to get
square.’
‘Mr. Drapeall isn't in, I see,'said an old shop
per to the man in attendase#.’ ’No’m, he’s not
home to-day.’ ‘I suppose he has nothing new?'
'Yes’m. he has; got pneumonia ’
