DIPHTHERIA.
A Sensible and Timely Letter from a
Ikoctor.
This disease is much more prevalent
now than people are aware of. Hut the
tact that a srreat many have it under the
name of colds, sore throat, ulcerated
sore throat,sympathetic sore throats and
other simple names, proves that it need
not. be fatal or very serious to the un
fortunate person sick with it. There is
always more or less danger Rttem ing it.
But the danger is immeasurably less
when it is known to be diphtheria and
called by that name, than when it is yet
in the premonitory stage, while the pa-
tiont just infected with it is lazy 01

mind, and to be constantly on the look
out for throat nffections, that it may not
be so fully developed as to be beyond
remedies before its presehce is even sus
pected. _ It is a blood poison, with more
or less inflammation of the throat and
membranous deposits on tonsils and
palate. It is so si .w in its early stages
that the patient is too frequently beyond
human help before the friends are will-
in R to beliove anything iB the matter,
and then too little self-possession is left
to mb anybody in behalf of the sick one.
A few suggest ons. perhaps, will be ac
ceptable in this very trying time. As
long as the pulse is regular in its beats,
do not mind about counting it too fre
quently. Even physicians can merely
surmise what the number of beats is
to the pulse per minute of a new patient
in health- There is always danger
while it is variable. For several days
the fever will be very high, and there
is nothing so grateful as ice or water to
drink, hot or cold. Baths arc in order
—the sponge bath, or a full hath of
eight or ten minutes, once in two,
three or four hours, preferably oi
pretty warm water; or a warm
pack of from half to three-quarters of
an hour, repealed once or twice a day,
A pack is very soothing, and will often
reduce the pulse twrnty to thirty l-eats
per minute, and the temperature one or
two degrees Hot water to hold ih the
mouth, or to use as a gargle is also very
serviceable. A compress of hot water
constantly about the throat is necessary,
idc oompres8 of hot water from

the arm-pits to the hips often sends a
very restless patient into a dolightful
sleep. The compresses should always
be wrung out very dry, and covered with
thick, soft, and dry cloths, Theeo
should be retained, if agreeable to the
patient, from one to five i ours, and re-
peatod two or three times a day (twenty-
tour hours). Never give stimulants.
Whatever food is taken should bo in
liquid form, such as beef tea, rich milk,
grutl of Indian meal or oatmeal. 1 pre-

Months are often required to recover
from diphtheria, ns scrofoloussores may
follow, or paralysis, and affections of
the kidneys. Tho throat and nose (if
the latter is affected) should frequently
be cleaned with a Bwnb or douche; no
secretion should be allowed to remain
long enough to corrodo and becomo an
additional irritant. I mention this last
as a most important thing in diphtheria,
because so few realize the necessity of
cleaning tho throat, or dare to do it.

Words of Wisdom,
The future of society is in the hands
of the mothers.
A full stomach is apt to be deaf to in
struction.
A fruit-bearing tree bends; all the
virtues are lowly.
Love, faith, patience—these are the
threo essentials of a happy life.
Life is a long shipwreck of which the
debris is friendship, glory and love.
Auger is blood, poured and perplexed
into a froth; but malice is the wisdom
of our wrath.
We measure minds by their staturo;
it would be better to esteem thorn bv
their beauty.
The elephant is never won by anger;
nor must that man who would reclaim
a lion take him by the teeth.
The intellect has only one failing,
Which, to be sure, is a very considerable
one. it has no conscience. Napoleon
is the readiest instance of this.
True dignity abides with him alone
who, in the silent hour of inward
thought, can still suspect, and still re
vere himself in lowliness of heart.
Though the word and the spirit do
the main work, yet suffering so unbolts
the door of the heart that both the word
and the spirit have easier entrance.
Lover, daughter, sister, wife, mother,
grandmother; in those six words lies
wnat the human heart contains of the
sweetest, the most ecstatic, the most
sacred, the purest and the most ineffable.
Hanger from Stoves.
Careless handling of coal stoves has
proved fatal in a great many cases, the
escaping gas carrying its deadly poison
to inmates of houses. A paper wtiich
appears to have given the matter con
siderable research presents the follow
ing valuable information: Some people

to it that the peculiar smell of the gas

these people are also saving, and en

in i a fairly glowing fire and provisions
lo? such draught as will carry off the
gases, or such a fire as will consume

constructed that do not throw into living
rooms quantities of coal gas whenever
the fire is stirred, or does not burn

"No, not many, i amnia; if J could

It was last Tuesday, and a little girl
who had seen thesnow comeand gonitte
times, lay dying in her humble home rn
St. Antoine street Weeks nnd weeks
the feVer had burned within her and its
Htroe fire showed itself in the deep blue
eyes and the lovely, innoc nt face. Tue
mother, an ever-constant watcher nt the
sufferer’s pillow, had never given up
hope, but the child, with that knowledge
which seems to come to all before doath,
knew that she would never join her
merry playmates over on the school
ground. Day by day as the fever burned
she had wished for the snow to come,
and when the white flakes fell the other
day tho loving mother changed the
child’s position that she might, unwarn
ed, catch the first glimpse of the fleecy
snow. The child gazed out into the
flurried air long and earnestly, and then
when the pain made her writhe, she
turned an appealing look to the sad
faced mother, and said:
“ But, mamma, I don’t believe I shall
ever have another sleigh ride. Now
promise me if this snow is on tbejground
when I die you’ll have my coffin carried
to the grave on a sleigh.”
‘ Why, my sweet child, why do you
make sacli a request,? You shall not
die—you will grow better tomorrow.”
“But, mamma, promise me, will youP
Please, mamma, please.”
“Yes, darling, yes."
“Oh, thank you, mamma—that’s so

mamma, so that I cm sec the street lamp.
There,_ see—tho—flakes—they glisten
just—like—diamonds. li, will be sieigli-

Like the snowflake that falls upon the
warm earth she molted away, and no
one knows whether she woke to hear
music and bells on that morning we
shall one day open our eyes upon.

J “ ‘ rlt
does this duty as the Italy of America.
Florida docs this duty very creditably,
too; for though the "antiquo charm” of
St. Augustine is more in the Imagination
of visitors than in the quality of the
Augustlnian architecture, the climate of
the peninsula is delectable, and thous
ands of invalids, tourists and families of
wealth from the North bear witness
yearly to its claims. Fcrnandini tempts
the traveler with its mile-end sholl road
leading to a twenty-mile seaside drivo;

its semi-tropical and dreamy quiet. In
1880, thanks to railway improvements,
tho journoy southward, once a purga
torial process, has not only lost most of
its terrors but become itself a pleasure.
Tho rapid transition in oomfortable cars
from tho snows and slops and chills of
the North through sones of mellowing

its own, and as the country ripens and

Ostrich Feathers.
The war in South Africa between the
Basutos and the English is likely to di
minish very materially the stock of os
trich feathers of tho world. Exactly
over the ground where tho ostrich onco
stalked the unbreeched Basuto now
hurls defiance at, the English soldier.
But what is curious about this strife,
and its consequences, os far as feathers
go, is that the Basuto country was the
region from whence tho larger portion
of the ostrioh eggs woro obtained. Os
trich farmers further south bought
these eggs, hatched out the birds in more
civilized region, and raised them for
their plumage. The strangest tiling,
however, is where the Anglo-Basuto
difficulty affects tho New York tin-man.
As New York makes the most approved
ostrich egg incubator, the demand was
large and increasing, because ostrich
chicks refused to come into this world
unless duly born in a New Pork patent
incubator. Now that actual war exists
no more incubators are wanted at the
Cape, for there aro no eggs coming to the
ostrich raisers.
What a Pig Picked Bp.
A pig belonging to a colored man liv
ing In Pike county, opposite Sparrow-
bush, met with a singular adventure.
The young rooter was doing some nasal
plowing in a swampy pnrtof afield, and
camo across a huge snapping turtle
which was sleeping quietly on a log.
Piggy didn’t know a turtle from a tea
kettle, and he promptly put his nose
under one side of the turtle’s shell and
turned him over on his baok. The
turtle was naturally indignant, and as
the pig’s nose came near his head he
fastened on it nnd settled down to busi-
ness. The pig was frightened nearly to
death and tried to run away, but, as the
turtle was nearly as heavy ns the pig,
the running away was slow. The
squealing of the pig finally brought
help, and the turtle was captured and
found to weigh twenty-eight pounds.
That pig cannot be driven toward the
spot where he first met the turtle.—Port

Haw an Aatraaa Drniti.
The Now York fashion correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer writes that,
on entering the dressing room of an
actress friend at a theater, she saw
spread out on a chair an elaborate dress
of satin and velvet, a peculiarity of
which was that all tlio bows and other
ornaments woro nlready fastened in
place, and tho garment was open in front
hem, ' ■
from neck to I
. though so contrived
that tho junction would not be visible
when worn. This arrangement was to
avoid delay, and how tho actress mado
a complete change of costume in less
than five minutes is described as follows:
“First, sho picked up a pair of gloves
nnd began to put them on. At the same
time her maid unhooked her dreRS from
top to bottom with quick, deft fingers,
and stripped oil'the whole gnrment in a
twinkling. She seated herself and ex
tended her feet for tho maid to take off
the sho< s nnd stockings. The latter
being stripped down over tho feet in n
jiffy, diclosed clocked silk hose, so that
tho fresh pair were already on. By the
time the slippers were in place, the
actress had got the last button of her
gkives into its buttonholo. A minute
and a half had elapsed. Then the maid
took off several putt's and a bow from
her miBtress’ head—her hair in the
previous act having been simp y dressed
—and put on a more elaborate blonde
wig, fastening it in place with hairpins.
Next, the actress stood up, and the maid
swiftly put her into the dress that had
lain on the chair. Ever? part of it fell
admirably into place, plentiful hooks
and eyes holding all together. Standing
ill
before a full length mirror she finally
1 T (
surveyed herself critically, at just three
minutes and a half from the start. Half
a minute more was employed iu putting
additional rougo and powder on the
face, nnd then sho was ready to go on

Woman anil Ladles,
In the days of our fathers, there wore
such things to be met with as men and
women—but now they aro all gone, nnd
in thoir place a race of gentlemen nud
ladies, or, to bo still more refined, u
raoe of “ladles and gentlemen,” has
Bprung up. •
Women and girls aro among tho
things that wero. But “ ladies ” are
found everywhere. Miss Martineau
wished to see the women wards in a
prison in Tennossee, and was answered
by tho warden: “We have no ladies
hero nt present, madam.”
Now, so far as the ladios were con
cerned, it was very well that none ol
them were In prison; but then it sounds
a little odd—ladies in prison! It would
seem bad enough lor women to go to
such a place.

to the point of popping the question,
il dinn
During the eventful dinner he learned
from the person sitting next him that a
rival intended to make an attack upon
his Dulcinea’s heart. She was sitting at
some distance from him at the table,
and the rival was at her side. He was
equal to the emergency, however, for
tearing a half leaf from his note book,
he wrote upon it: “Will you be my wife?
Write your answer, yes or no, upon this
paper and return it to me." Calling a
waiter, the ingenious lover sent the
missive to “ the lady in blue at the pnd
of the table—be very careful.” The
servant did as directed, but the lover in
his anxiety forgot to send his pencil.
The lady had presence of mind, however,
and tucking the note into her bosom,
said to the waiter, “ Tell the gentleman,
yes.”

fight a duel, and in the encounter which
was conducted with all possible formal

When brought before a justice, he
urged the chivalry of dueling, and the
E crfbct fairness of this particular fight;
ut the magistrate refused to release
him. “Then I’ll release myself,” he
said, and shot the sheriff, dashed
through the crowd, and escaped. This
happened several years ago, and was
only one among similar passages in the
life of a notorious border ruffian. His
reputation has at last brou/ht him to
death by a bullet. Being drunk, he

not stop to discriminate between real
and pretended anger, but shot Gray
dead at once.

Inga Bear’s Clutches.
Jerry Greening, a noted hunter of
Pike county, Pa., s'artod out on a
grand bear-hunt, taking provisions lor a
two days’ st-y The first day out he
killed a fine four-pronged buck, which
lie dressed nnd hung up in a tree out of
read, of wild animals. He built a fire,
a short distance from where he had
hung the buck, and after eating a hearty
supper rolled himself up in his blanket,
with his feet to the fire, nnd was soon
asleep. In the middle of the night ho
was awnkened by n loud noise, and
turning over noiselessly on his side he
discovered a large bear trying to pull
the buck out of the tree. Jerry grabbed
his rifle, and, alter taking careful aim,
fired. The bear gave a loud growl, and
galloped off in the underbrush. In the
morning Jerry saw blood-stains on the
ground, and following the tracks somo
distance, he came to the entrance to a
cave in some rocks. In front of this
cave was a large pool of blood, and the
hunter wns convinced that his game was
within. He procured a pine knot, out
of which ho made a torch, and after tho
manner of Irsacl Putnam, entered the
cave. The entrance wns small, and he
was obliged to creep in on his hands and
knees; but as he advanced the opening
grew lnreer, until finally, he could
stand upon his feet. He was advancing
cautiously when he heard a growl, and
line the bear
before he could draw his
sprang upon from behind a huge
boulder, knocking him down, nnd in
flicting a severe wound in the shoulder
with her claws. The torch which
Jerry carried was extinguished, and tho
"hi
old hunter was lcit to fight for his life
in total darkness. He succeeded in
reaching his hunting-knife, and dealt
the bear several vigorous blows in the
neck and side wii.li the weapon. The
blood from tho animal’s wounds spurted
Into Jerry’s fnee, nearly blinding him.
Tho bear relaxed her hold and nmle for
the mouth of tho cave. Jerry followed,
but in Jthe darkness was unable to find
his rifle. Ho pursued tho bear, and just
outside the cave nuother hand-to-hand
conflict took plnce. Thesirugglo lasted
bi
half an hour, and after tho hear had
nearly succeeded in stripping Greening
i inflict
of his clothing nnd had inflicted several
more wounds, she was dispatched.
Jerry procured another pine-knot and
re-entered the cave and procured his
riflo. In the farthest corner of the cave
ho found two little cubs, not larger than
kittens, which ho took home with him.
The floor of tho cavo, Greening says,
was literally covered with bones.

At a certain club house in Boston
there was kept in tiie billiard room a
carrot which wns so tamo and such a

cage, but was allowed tho liberty of the

tho furniture, or wandering about on tho
floor. On one occasion, when tho bird
was seated in tho corner ol tho room, a
gentleman, a Mr. B., entered, followed
by his dog, whether a pointer or a set
ter wo do not know. The dog, after a
few moments, winded the parrot, drew
on it, and finally stood fast. The bird,
which had been up to this time, appar-
- ,h(
ently oblivious of the presence of the ca
nine, now turned its head slowly, and in
tones expressive of tho utmost contempt
said, “ Go homo, you darned fool.”’ The
dog stnrtod, looked, and then, turning
tail, slunk out of the room. It is said,
that although up to this time the animal
had been a splendid hunter, he would
thenceforth never point a bird.—Forest
