A MAN OF MANY TONGUES.
Interesting’ Talk With the State De
partment Translator.
Mr. Henry L. Thomas, translator of
the state department in Washington, has
had quite a varied experience, and now,
after traveling over a greater part of the
globe and devoting a large portion of his
life to the study of languages, is one of
the most wid^- posted and cultured
gentlemen it is one’s good fortune to
meet. For sixteen years he has been
connected with the state department, and
in that time has kept 11 P his study of
languages till to-day he can speak fluently
some eight or nine, and is able to make
himself understood in as many more.
When a boy he took but little interest in
the study of languages, but starting out
in life as a printer he found his first
start, and used to employ himself during
all his leisure hours with pouring over
the grammar of some foreign tongue.
Along in the “fifties” he started on his
travels, and was a professor in a college
in one of the West India islands “fqr sev
eral years. He became tired of this kind
of life, however,and during the “sixties”
. returned to thia country. In 1860 he
feswas appointed translator in the state de
. pkrtment by Mr. llamiltor? Fish, then
secretary of state. He has served con
stantly ever since during all the changes
of administration.
To a representative of this paper he
said: “My .duties arc sometimes very
light, and sometimes very arduous. It
hard to average the work, as some
days there wiil be a rush of metter, and
on other® but little. My duties are con
fined largely to ofliefal correspondence,
though often letters addressed to the
President or aoffie of the cabinet officers
are handed id me for translation. Most
of the countries represented at our courts
use their own language or-French in
their diplomatic correspondence. Some,
however, use English.
“Austria, for instance, used its own
language up till about six years ago,
when it changed, and now all its official
correspondence is carried on in English.
Italy and some of the other European
countries use French. So did Germany
until the antipathy between her and
France became so bitter. Since then her
correspondence has been in pure, hard
German. The South American countries
all use Spanish, and their official corre
spondence must all be translated.”
“In what language are the treaties
written?”
“In the language of the country with
which the treaty is made and in English.
Soma of the old treaties have been rather
loosely translated, though there have
, been up serious errors. Once in a while
I have to go back to the old correspond
ence and treaties of years ago. In this
way I can iec how the translations were
made. Some time since I had to go back

countries often write and tell the Presi
dent how he should, act. Many of the
foreign lettera comb from Germany, ask
ing the President to send the writer a
passage ticket tuAoss the ocean, as he
wishes to become ft • citizen of this coun
try. Another wrote from Holland
the other day advising President Cleve
land to pay off the Confederate bonds.
“But a pu»ijler was received some
mopths ago from Samoa. No one could
read it, and we‘ had about given it up
when an English translation was discov
ered. It was pretty fair English, too. I
have to make an abstract of the letters,
which are sent to the persons to whom
they arc directed. Some of them are an
swered and some arc not. We get a
good many letters from Germans liv
ing in this coutatry. They are mostly
filled with grievances of some kind.
During President Arthur’s administra
tipn an old German out West wrote to
him asking the President to pay off a
mortgage on his farm. He had got into
diffhniity, so ho said, through no fault
of his own, aud he wanted it fixed up.
The second letter was Riled with threat®,
and the third was tilled with abuse.
After President Cleveland was inaugur
ated he wrdto to |jim, but since no at

“During General Grant's administra
tion some funny letters were received.
One of them.was from a German woman
who (isjmvd that her neighlmr threw
slop over her back yard and *he wanted it
stopped. The slop-throwing may be
going on yet for all I know. Were are
so many incidents of this kind- that I

V A Recipe for Cases of Dysentery.
The following recipe is recommended
as an excellent cure for dysentery. The
cost at any drug store for putting up is
about fifteen cents: • i ;
Prepared Chalk, 3 drachma,
White Sugar, 3 drachms,

well, one tablespoonful for adults and
one-half tablcspoonful for children,
every two hours until relieved.
Raw Egg* for the Stick.
We may speak of an article, highly
nutritious, easily digested and retained,
and but little used, viz.: raw eggs.
The only objections to their use is the
individual objections ‘of the patients,
and this only before the first is taken, for
they seldom object afterward. The egg
may be broken into a glass, care being
taken that the yolk is not broken, and a
little salt and pepper added if desired.
The patient has scarcely the trouble of
sw'allowing it, for it goes down of itself.
We have seen patients retain easily and
even relish a raw egg, who could retain
nothing else, more than six hundred
having been taken in one case within
three or four months. It goes without
saying that the egg should be carefully
selected; and, indeed, for fear that one
which has seen its best days should dis
gust the patient, it weii; better to pre
pare the egg out of his sight.— Medical
Journal.
PoiMn*.
From a Latin word, meaning “drink,”
as poisons are generally taken in that
way; and are either “corrosive”’ such as
destroy or kill the texture of the part;
or “constitutional,” affecting the system
through the nerves and blood-vessels.
Mineral and acid poisons,as lead,copper,
arsenic, oxalic acia, aqua-fortis, and the
like, kill the living parts on the instant
of touching, and death speedily results,
from inflammation, swelling and morti
fication. ,
Alcohol, opium, prussic acid, strych
nine, and the like are constitutional,and
affect the system through the nerves and
blood-vessels. There are, beside the
gases, oyer sixty solid substances in na
ture which destroy life in a day, an
hour, a minute. An “antidote” is that
which instaofly raafleraa,poison innocu
ous by removal or chemical Combination.
For corrosive poisons, such as mineral
and acid, indicated certainly by the pa
tient carrying the hand to the throat,
swallow instantly sweet oil, train oil, or
any / other simple oil or grease first at
hand: This protects aid vom
its ; or take magnesia, soap or saleratus,
in water.
As to the constitutional poisons, in
stant removal’is imperative; and the
very best thing in*all,Mature, as well as
most generally at hand, is'a heaping tea
spoonful each Os comißon salt and ground
mustard, stirred quickly in a glass of
copl or warm water, and swallowed on
the spot. This usually causes instantan
eous vomiting. As soon as this ceases,
luFthere may be some of the poison left
Infthe stomach, swallow the white of an
egg or two; and to make assurance
doubly sure, drink most freely of very
strong coffee, for the constitutional. A
quart of very strong cold coffee should
be put away in every family, for such
uses; especially «8 it is the antidote for
a larger number of poisousthan any other
substance in nature.
The above are intended as expedients,
to be employed while a physician is be- *
ing procured.— Hall's Journal of Health.
Beauty’s Abode in Persia.
The portion of the garden allotted to
the andonin is walled off and the en
trance secured by a heavy door, for Per
sian ladies share none of the admitted
prerogatives of our own fair ones, and
arc not even free to conic and go at will.
The harems are governed by the strictest
discipline; the door is jealously guarded
by a eunuch, a® old and trusted servant
of the shah, upon whom devolves the
duty of superintending the royal female
>' establishment. In this inelosure arc the
i living rooms of the ladies; those of the
favorite are spacious and comfortable,
with several windows of colored glass
looking onto the garden. These colored
windows do a good deal towaid temper
ing the austerity of the bare white walls
anti soften the glare of the sun. There
is no flooring but the earth, but this is
perfectly level. . and, when occupied,
is covered by straw mats, over which
again carpets or. felt are spread. The
other rooms are small and entirely inno
cent of the smalleat attempt at decora
tion. This simplicity forms a marked
contrast to those reserved for his majes
ty; the primitive white walls, in a coun
try where ornamentation is the rule,have
a severe look, and the plainness even
savors of parsimony. Even chairs are
considered ,» superficial luxury, but are
replaced by an occasional wooden bench
placed against the walls. Such is the
abode of royal beauty. Here. too, lhere
is water in abundance, atreaflis intersect

“BiUy” Emerson has recently made a phe
nomenal success in Australia, and is rich.
Emerson was born at Belfast in 1846. He
began his career with Joe Sweeney’s min
s’tfels in Washington in 1857. Later on he
( jumped into prominence in connection with
| Newcomb’s minstrels, with whom he visited
i Germany. He Visited Australia in 1874, and
! on his return to America joined Haverley’s
> minstrels in San Francisco at >SOO a week
i and expenses. With this troupe he played be-
i fore her majesty, the queen, the Prince off
' Wales, and royalty generally. After this
' trip he leased the Standard theatre, San
Francisco, where for three years he did the
largest business ever known to minstrelsy.
; In April last he went to Australia again,
i where he has “beaten the record.”
“Billy” is a very handsome fellow, an ex
cellent singer, dances gracefully, and is a
true humorist.
“Yes , sir, I have traveled all over the
world, have met all sorts of people, come in
contact with all sorts of customs, and had
all sorts of experiences. One must have a
constitution like a locomotive to stand it”
“Yes, I know I seem to bear it like a
major, and I do, but I tell you candidly with
the perpetual change of diet, water and cli
mate, if I had not maintained my vigor with
regular use of Warner’s safe cure I should
have gone under long ago.’’
George H. Primrose, whose name is known
in every amusement circle in America, is
even more emphatic, if possible, than “Billy”
j Emerson, in commendation of the same arti-
I cle to sporting and traveling men generally,
among whom it is a great favorite.
Emerson has grown rich on the boards an<r
i so has Primrose, because they have not
squandered the public’s “favors.”

SCARCITY OF FFAEOFS IN THE j
(From Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.')
Os recent years the slaughter of buffaloes
has been carried on in such a wasteful way
as to amoflnt almost to extermination. It
has not been even for the hides of the crea
tures, but in thousands and' thousands of
cases simply for their tongues, the rest of the
carcass having been allowed to rot upon the
plains. Present indications are to the effect
that what is left of the buffaloes is to be an
Eastern animal, and somewhat of a curiosity.
An.pdd thing is said to have taken place
recently in Philadelphia, where in the “Zoo”
is quite an extensive and expensive herd of
buttaloes. Three baby buffaloes have been
added to the herd. A Nebraska man came
along and wanted to buy one. The superin
tendent told him the baby buffaloes were not
for sale, and asked him why he wanted to
buy such a creature. “It’is a serious mat
ter,” he said in a solemn manner, “and I
must get some kind of a buffalo to take back
to Nebraska with me, for there is a whole
tribe of Indians waiting to celebrate their
national medicine dance around him. There
ain’t a buffalo to be got in the West, and I
had to come East especially to get one. ”
This is one of the “straws which show
which way the wind blows” in regard to the
radical changes brought about by the filling
up of the Western country Th»> time was
when buffaloes were plenty enough in Ne
braska and even throughout Wisconsin, and
it is only a comparatively short time ago
that herds of buffaloes ranged the western
part o£ the State of New York, where the
city of Buffalo now stands.
How things do change! Formerly the
fields occupied by what is called nialatia
were confined to limited areas, principatty
-AMxJands and undrained marshes. The cu
riousVhing about these malaria fields is that
they have spread and increased until malaria
is now as plenty as buffaloes are scarce. This
is a phenomenon which defies explanation.
Hardly onywhere is anybody safe from an
attack of malaria. These attacks sometimes
take the form of old-fashioned “ chilis and
fever,” sometimes “dumb ague,” and some,
times of those slow and hidden forms of
fever which undermine the constitution and
leave the victim a wreck. .
What a happy thing it would be if we
could be assured that malaria is on the de
crease so that cases of malarial fever are
likely to become as scarce as buffaloes now
are.
Well, perhaps we are on the road to it.
' Certainly we are, if every malarial sufferer
wifi adopt the course pursued by some whom
ifts know. Look, for instance, at the case of
tflpflßartholonriew, of 865 Racine street, the
difipiterof Mr. Bartholomew, express ines
*|nger on the Northwestern ReProad. Hav
ing heard that Miss Bartholomew had been
tMwled with malaria the writer called upon
. MB|r F and’ found the young lady and her
tfletier both busily engaged on some new
■'drygoods.

Was to some what aggravate the sore; but soon the <
inflamation was allayed, and I began to improve
after the first few liottles. My general health has

any kind of work. The cancer on my face began to
decrease and the ulcer to heal, until there is not a
vestige of It left—only a little scar marks the place.
