THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-KUCUliDER: TUESDAY, JUNE TREATMENT OF CROUP.’ WHAT TO THE R THE DISEASE IN NCE OF A DOCTOR. Il.ng. ruuB Croup •> in.tlnfol.bod from Faloe Croup—Tbo Latter Hoy Uo Treated Without Medical Aid. bat a Phyoletan’e - Advlre le Alwaj. Safe. The particularly dangerous character istic- of crimp is. like pneumonia, its sud denness. its action is so rapid, and the little patient is so soon in a condition that u very near to depth, that parents 'line their heads." and from extreme tear and anxiety are unable to coolly go to work with their best judgment There are two sorts of croup—one in which the hoarseness and choking are caused by a sort of spasm or contraction or the glottis, nnd known to physicians as [wnilo-cronp or false croup, and in this there is little or no formation of membrane. With false croup there is ranch tightness, the same harsh, brassy cough, the breathing is wheezy, difficult ami rapid The attacks come on with catarrh anil hoarseness, and are apt to recur several nights, sometimes coming on in the daytime There are many causes for an attack of false croup Sometimes it originates fmin the stomach An exceptionally hearty supper or some indigestible food eaten during the evening may set up an irritation which will bring on the symp toms of false croup hut of course the usual cause is eximsnre and wet feet it is really a mild disease, and quickly sub sides under proper treatment, and is not apt to be followed by dnngerous compli cations For immediate relief wet a towel to cold water und wring it out just dry enough to prevent its dripping, and fold it about the child's neck, then cover this with dry towels nr flannel cloths to pre vent the pillow, etc., from being wet. in many coses this wet packing of the throat is all that is necessary Leave it on until the breathing is easy and natu ral, und be sure to rub the child dry and warm after caking off the pack. It is -erdl to put a light woolen bandage about the throat for tbe remainder of the night, bnt never accustom a child to be ing "bundled up.” If the cold pock does not prove sufficient to give relief at once, give repeated doses of sirnp of ipecac, larger or smaller according to the vio lence of the spasm, until vomiting en sues. An excellent cough medicine to keep In the house, and one which works well in cases of false cronp. is the old fash ioned mixture of sirnp of squills nnd paregoric, or a mixture of glycerine und water in eqnal parts. If with this treat ment the child does not get easy, and fall into n natnral sleep, but, on the contra ry thf choking sensation continnes or becomes worse, yon may conclude that yon have a case on ham! of true croup, and the sooner you get a doctor the bet- uuaruixo aoainst croup. False croup you may relieve tonight, and tomorrow morning there may be no trace nr it; tomorrow night nnd the next night ami for several nights it may come on tigitln as badly as ever It is not so. however, witli true croup— there is no "let up" in this case; tbe condition grad ually gets more f*jd more severe until deatli ensnes from suffocation, or until tlie disease submits to treatment The average duration of a case of real croup is shout seven or eight days, and maiiy tnethodx anil remedies are advised. Until raise nnd true croup may be guarded against in great measure, it is a mistake to accustom children to such bundling mid wrapping up when they go out thnt active exercise Is not easily taken, und of course I would not have you go to the other extreme and not clothe them warmly enough: out if they are strong nnd lively, the latter course Is really the safest, provided they can come indoors to rest and get warm. Look to it thnt their feet are attended to when they come in from playing to the wet A good rubbing, or better still, bathing in alcohol and water, and then rubbing, and dry warm stockings, will often pre vent a cose of cronp or aome other form of cold ir they are weak, or not really active and sirmig. h course of sirup Iodide of Iron will nsnally bring them up. See to It tliai they are regular and rather lax to tlieu iMiwt'l movements, for nearly every pre|iarntion of iron has a tendency to promote constipation wiiat to do for croup. Death is almost always caused by suf focation, on account of the closing up of tbe glottis by the membrane, which forms so rapidly that constant atten tion with tbe probang or spray is neces sary to impede its growth. Whichever method of applying is naed, any applica tion that is irritating is dangerous and shoald be avoided, as, tor instance, ni trate of silver and several of the mineral acids. Probably the best solvent is freshly made lime water, and it may readily be applied in form of vapor without any ap paratus Small pieces of fresh, unslaked lime may be put into a wide montbed bottle—a pint gloss frnit jar will answer— and water [loured upon it to alake it, and tbe [nticut -r.aj then breathe the fresh vapor as it arises. Id cases of true cronp this is probably the beet coarse to pursue until tin- doctor comes. Tincture of iron (full strength) may be applied to the membrane with a camel’s hair pencil or a probang. The latter instrument is simply u bit of fine soft sponge, fastened necnrely with silk thread to the end of a piece of whalebone or reed about as long as a lead [icncil, and is simply a swab. With this swabdilntod lactic acid may be applied to tbe membrane, and next to lime water It is probably the heat and safest solvent that can be nsed. To pre pare it for use simply add the acid to water until it has a decidedly sour taste. During uu attack of croup It is aeoeenry that we should do eveiything to keep the patient nourished, as the tremendous exertion of breathing, together with the apprehension of total remit, are mo« ex hausting.—A Doctor to NewVork World. Hole, In the Air. H. Henuequin, of Pori*. France, who has had sane experience In aerial navi gation. stopped in the city from San Francisco on his way home. Mr. Henne- quin woe to Fontenay at the time Tix- sindierand Gower had their startling adventnre in a balloon. The traveler is an intimate friend of Gower, and tells the story of their fall, of -a mile as the balloonist related it to him: “They ascended from Tisiindier's bouse in Paris and floated off toward Vincennes, and. as tbe wind was some what strong from the northeast, tbe two men soon disappeared from the view of Paris, having risen to a height of 1,500 feet When they had reached Fontenay however, they were fully 8,000 feet above the earth. They were sailing along smuothly, watching the scenes below, when suddenly they seemed to fall into a hole in tbe atmosphere, and down they went at a terrific rate. Gower glanced at the needle of the vertical scale. It was traveling with lightning speed. A roar filled their ears, and both men thought their time hod come. “Nothing had happened to the balloon. It was in perfect condition, but there Beerned to lie no air to hold it up. Tis- sindier desperately threw out sandbags. They were falling so rapidly that the bugs were left far behiud and disappeared above them. The earth seemed to be rushing at them with the speed of a comet There seemed to lie no atmos phere left, and they could scarcely breathe. As u last resort Tissiudier threw over the anchor and the remain ing bullaat, nnd tile hig balloon, after a rush of n inilo through tlie air, regained its poise and they were saved. The earth was but fifty feet below.” “This goes to show.” continued Mr. Hennequin, “thnt too much precaution cannot be observed in carrying plenty of ballast. There are in tbe uir occasional rarefactions, nnd when a balloon once gets into one of them it drops like a piece of lead. Gower nnd Tissindier sailed into a veritable pit in the air, and hud they not hod lots of ballast nboatil they would have been dashed to pieces."— Chicago Tribune. A DEADLINE FOIf CROOKS WALL STREET AND' 810 BUILDINGS ClOSSLY GUARDED Why Men mI Doubtful Kepittutlnn Questionable Appearance Are Prohibit ed from Being IttHltle of New York 1 flerngnlftml Money Outer Old Wood for Violin** When the old Pierce building, that hod stood at the corner of Tremont and Court streets for more than two hundred years, was torn down six or seven years ago, I got a lot of pieces of spruce joists out of it to make violin tops. Tbat's it, now. Most people think violins are made from some queer nnd costly foreign wood. They are not. The top is of spruce boards or timbers, and the strap, the back and the scroll from curly maple. The essential, however, is that tbe wood shall have been seasoned for generations. Cheap violins are mode from wood that has been seasoned only four or five years. I want wood 100 years old. The old spruce is easier to get than the old maple. For that we have to seek to old farmhouses, where there ore vener able chests of drawers and old fashioned bedsteads of maple, with headboards and footboards. We bny these for what we can, bnt they cost a great deal, for people nsnally value them highly as heir looms. Tbe poets and frame of tbe bed., we can work into necks and scrolls, and the headboards, etc., into scraps and backs. Here is an old piece of board no more than two feet long, os yon see, that 1 couldn't replace for a five dollar bill.— Interview with a Violin Maker. Breaking It Gsatljr. to the province of Holsteiil, noted for its superior breed of cattle, the country people are not only very thrifty bnt ex ceedingly fond of their cows, as may be gathered from the following character istic story. Farmer Jan was walking sadly down the road one day when the village pastor met him. Why so tad, Farmer Janf said the pastor. “Ah, 1 have a sad errand, pastor,” said Jan. “What is itr “Farmer Henrik’s cow is dead to my pasture, and I am on my way to tell him.” “A hard took, Jan.” “Indeed it is. bnt I shall break it to him gently.” 'How will yon do tbatT T shall tell him first that it Is bis mother who is dead, and then, having opened the way for sadder news still, 1 ■Hail tell him that it is not his mother, bnt the cow!"—Youth’s Companion. Vatu* of Diamond*. The weight of a carat is four grains Troy, bnt tbe value Of tbo diamond carat is a very uncertain quantity, depending altogether on the quality, parity, cat ting and size of the stone. According to a standard work on precious stones, a well-cut diamond of perfect color, hav ing no flaws, "feathers," or other imper fections, is worth 810; one of two carats is worth from $*) to $100; one of three, $380; of four, $840; of eight, $1,000; of ten, $1,500; of twenty, $18,000. The valuation of stones of a larger size is purely a matter of fancy, depend ing almost altogether on the whims of seller and purchaser, oud even with the «m.ll sized stones an almost inappreci able variation in tint will often make an enormous difference in valuation. Fashion also influences the price of dia monds,—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Scheming Mother — What objection have you to that wealthy Mr. Lightpate?

The Equitable building. is one of tlie largest eeneral office buildings in the world lie Hctual floor space l» slimt thh.mxi square feet, eqnal to extent to eight or ten rfty blocks. It is a busy bustling city in itself, and Is mi-upied by nearly t.iKKi tenants A s|ieciBt [siln-e force of seven men are constantly on duty iu the hulls amt cor ridors They are under the eonimaud of ex-Detective Sergeant Ihisenbnry who foi nearly thirty years was on the detective force of this city, and was one of the liest known and most,'successful of lns|iector Byrnes stuff There are tew men who have a wideriut|iiaintonce with the outlaws ol society He lias been tlie guardian ever since the arcade was aliened and it is owing to tile vigil ance displayed ny him and bis snbonlin atos that so little annoyance has been suffered by the tenants and the general public It is thoroughly understood by the lawless element and by professional criminals that they are not iillmved be low John street. I mqiei-Iur Byrnes long ago issued nil order to Ins down town detectives to arrest nuy known thief, burglar, ronfidem-e mini nr others of that class who intruded upon thnt section of the city Broadway Nassau Wall and Broad streets are constantly patrolled by the sharpest and keenest officers in the Inspector's command. Professional crim inals, aware of the sharp lookout, as a usual thing give the financial center of the city it wide berth. Bnt in spite of the vigilance occasional visits are made by the more daring or by those who believe they are not person ally known to the detectives. But they aresnsooti s|«dted and so closely watched that no serious case of depredation has been known for a number of yean. When these people do venture down town they invariably visit the Equitable building WATCniNO 'UIIKTK IIKATPRS." In the Cafe Suvarin another iqieciol detective is employed to look after the undesirable customers in that favorite resort of down towti business men. Theo dore Wamlell, who was for a long time one of Pinkerton's agents, looks out for this special corner in tlie busy city He, too. keeps a bright lookout that no pro fessional rogues enter the place and rub elbows with their honest neighIsirs But with Diisenhnry and his force keeping general guard over the whole building he is seldom called upon to exercise his authority over tbe more serious charac ters, nnd hit duties are generally con fined to looking after check Issuers •Check beateis are our special annoy ance here," said Mr Wandell to n re porter. "You would lie surprised to see how many men attempt to beat tbe bar and tbe inneb counter Their method is a very simple one and nearly the sume in all cases. An apparent gentleman comes in, steps up to the bar and calls for a drink aud receives his chuck. He then goes to the Inocli counter orders a more or less elaborate Inneb. which to es ta leisurely, and receives unothercheck Then be visits the cigar connter selects a cheap cigar and gets another check- and finally walks to tbe cashier’s desk, throws down his cigar check and the change and walks out with tbe other two checks in his pocket They may be successful for a few times, bnt eventnal ly we discover their game nnd then we take our innings. We are very careful not to make a mistake in following np gentlemen of this ilk. We sometimes allow them to go through their operations several times in succession until we are abso lutely certain that it is their Intention to cheat the place. We qnietly inform them that they are discovered, and tell them to make reetitntloD for tbe checks they bad not formerly paid for. Uf coarse these men are never allowed in tbe place again.” A BIO CBARCB FOR TUIKVRS. There is one loving class of people that even the sharp eyed detectives are not always able to discover. Their ostensi ble buxine* is honorable enough, and there are sometimes honest men among them. They are tbe “fakirs,” peddlers and agents There is an army of them in this city, and they circulate freely wherever men gather Generally tliey are cheeky, plausible and voluble. An Innocent looking pa roil, such as any bustoees man might carry, often eon- tains their stock iu trade. Mure often they carry their entire stock in their pockets It Is these |ienple that invade offices and stores under tlie guise of le gitimate business, but too often are noth ing mure or less than sneak thieves on tlie lookout for every opportunity to steal Tbe reason for the strict police regu tatioua as to the Wail street district are obvious to the casusl visitor to that sec tion Every day men anil boys may be seen going from office to office and from bank to bank with bags of coin on their sbonlderaor packages of bills in their bands Messengers are scurrying hither and thither with xtocks anil bonds for delivery, sometimes in large amounts Clerks and porters with boxes nnd aacb els containing securities of great value are constantly coining and going to and from the different safe deposit vaults Express wagons with gold and bills are on the streets at all hours, and even tracks loaded with silver bricks are seen daily in front of tbe assay office or the bullion brokers’. .There is no place la the world where totnocb portable wealth is handled with such apparent careless- ness, and yet thereto probably oo place where a successful robbery could be bra easily affected.—New York World CASTOR IA for Infante and Children. • tosteelalssossfiadapt !
