How to Care Obeelty.
In the Fourth Congress of Garman phy si-
eisns the first subject disoueeed uvea oorpu-
'lence. Ebateln, advanced the opinion that
drug, were of little servile() in reducing the
Amount of fat, and that an entire change in
itre regimen --including both change of diet
end of the manner of living—was necessary.
Any method which reduoed the general
yatrition, and thus removed fat, w40 a fail-
x'se ; the fat alone must be removed. The
method. moat not require the individual to
OTO up hie bueineae during treatment, else
it would not be generally applicable. The
method muet be capable of being continued
itudefrnitely without producleg unpleasant
results, for individuals prediepoeed to nor-
kulenoe by heredity or constitution must
eep up the diet for a long time.
One method ie to out off all fatty foods.
Rat as carbohydrates may be changed into
fet in tho body this ie not reasonable. The
object le rather to prevent the formation of
at in the body. To eecure this it is uecea-
e cyto regulate the proportion of albumin -
ems, starchy, and fatty foods, so that perfect
rectrition shall be secured, but no excess of
fret produced. The neceeeary amount of fat
fee a healthy man is 142 grains per diem.
iff this is reduced one-half a part of the
amount necessary for nutrition will be
taken from the body to compensate for the
reduced allowance in the food, and thus the
excess of fat may be removed. Under this
system the individual does not suffer the (Ba-
txeae which is felt by those who are out off
from all fatty food, and the results are more
aroeeeaful and agreeable than those of he
!malting system. The amount of carbohy-
drates is to be reduced no that no eurplus
aeon bodily needs e4l1 be taken.
7n the B wting system the diet is chiefly
nitrogenous, which often causes indigeation.
Irbatein gives nitrogenoue food, with the
rednced allowance of starch and fat in eufii-
*lent quantity to keep up the general nutri•
hien and wo'king etrength, but not in suoh
a,.anounta as to overload and embarrass the
'organa which digest proteids. The neves•
rii9:y of mueenlar exercise of euflicient force
to produce free perspiration is insisted upon.
This system has met with approval in Ger-
mazy on account of its success.
Henneberg, in discueeing the subject, ap-
proached it from a different side, and, by a
review of the methods adopted in fattening
ravtle, sought to deduce the rules neceesa•-y
tc be observed in avoiding the accumulation
of fat in naan. The general discussion eli-
slted varying views upon the physiology of
e"igestton, but all agreed that the use of
rnedieine for reducing corpulence was to be
rues: ed.
The Danger of Contagion in Throat
Troxbiea.
.h medical editor writes : A recent case
within our knowledge, in which fatal dlph•
theria developed upon what had been be-
lieved to be a simple quineey, suggests a few
wends regarding the duty of isolating any case
of sore throat where there are other children
in the house. Without entering upon any
diepated points regarding diphtheria, it is
^amorally agreed that the distinctive viei-
rale Sign of it is its peculiar membranous de-
posit. A c ase may present clearly the con•
dirione of a "common sora throat,' and sub-
aer,rloutly diphtheria be unmistakably pro -
beat. For our purpose is unnecesary to die -
encs whether e uce cases are dipthericic from
the. fist or become so. The point for pa -
Tents to know a:) that the sequence of danger -
m/s symptorna upon those apparently slight
is not uncommon, and that it is better to
''isolate a child tifty times unnecessarily than
Mo to neglectful once.

The new idea of inoculation against zy-

Tayon recently said at the Academie des
Sciences that he had incculated himself and
several of his friends with the microbe of
typhoid fever, and that all were seized with
a mild form of that disease, Further inoou-

the typhoid microbe failed to bring about a
repetition of the symptoms.
In the Kharkoo region of Russia quinine
is considered of no account for the cure of
chills and fever, The Dharkoo doctor
catches a mess of live malts, pons 'whisky
over them until they become hilarioualy
drunk, and then ruts them into a hot oven.
After being well dried they are pulverized,
shells and all, and administered in drachm
doses, The local papers say that whether
the treatment is scientific or not the patient
nett well under it, though quinine has no of -
mot on him •
Dr. Fothergill, a greatly respected Eng -
Welt authority on dyspepsia speaker strongly
in favor of milk puddings and stewed fruits
for the dyepeptio, the bilious and the gouty.
He says : • Sugar is undoubtedly objec-
tfonablo to many, but it is by no means inn
ceeeary to aid sugar to stewed fruit, If the
acidity be neutralized by a litt le hi -carbon-
ate of soda, the natural awoetnexe of the
fruit will be brought out and the dish be
made more agreeable than though ertifloatly-
tnade sugar were added,"

ent, from Victoria in British Columbia south
to San Diegoin California, should be exempt
from Ilay-fever, because throughout the aura -
mer season (the hay -fever period of the year)
the prevailing—in fact, the constant—winds
of the coast are from the Pacific Ocean. .

A VERY STRANGE BOY,
BY DAVID HER,
"And if I had not rushed in and dragged
the boy away from him, I do believe he'd
have killed the poor little felloq,"
"Ha lha1hal'
We all looked round in amazement, for
Charlie Thornton, of the---th Bengal
Native Infantry, the pleasantest and moat
kind-hearted young fellow among all the
eighty-three saloon passengers onbur home-
ward- bound ateamer from India, wan the
very last man any one would have expected
to be amused at the idea of a ohild being
beaten and ill-used,
"I beg your pardon, really," said the
young lieutenant, still quivering with eup-
pressed merriment , "but it always makes
me laugh when I hear of a boy being hurt
or ill-treated."
"Then, sir," growled a hard -faced old
Commissioner beside him, "all I can say is
that you aught to be ashamed of yourself."
"Don't be to hard on Charlie, Mr, Carrie,"
put in Major MoNab, of the Seventy-eighth
Highlanders, "I'll be bound there'e eomc
good joke behind it all, or he'd never talk
like that. Come, Charlie my boy, let's have
the story ; it's sure to be a good one."
And Lieutenant Thornton began as fol-
lows :
"About two years ago I
was down at
Bombay on leave from Jawed, just at the
beginning of the hot season. I put up at
Watson's Hotel, as usual ; and before I had
been there half an hour I met three old
friends of mine, just out from England,
whom I hadn't seen for five or six years.
' .We had plenty to talk about, as you may
think ; and so wo managed to sit together at
dinner. After .dinner we wont out on to
the veranda to have our coffee ; and I was
just in the middle of tailing them
about the fun I'd had among the tigers
up in the 'Arai the year before, when
all at once a great halloo from below mule
us look down, and there we saw a sight that
put everything out of our heads at once.
`You know that enormensaqmare In (root
of the hotel, with the tall clock tower on
the other side of it ? Well, about midway
across it, seemingly coming straight toward
the hotel, was a man, parrying a small boy
in his are, and shouting at him very sav-
agely every now and then. Th
near enough for us to see them q
and certainly they did look the two moat ex-
traordinary hobgoblins that I ever set eyes
on.
"The man was an immense]
and as thin as a lightning -rod;
it was now, as I've said, the beginning of
the hot season, be wore a long dark gray
coat and high black hat, whit
look taller still, But if his dress wasn't
very gay, the boy was gran
both, for he seemed to have go
ora of the rainbow. He had a s
an apple -green jacket, red pantaloons, white
stockings, and a bright yellow sash round
his walet.
"It takes something to gathe
Bombay, where swarms of figu
. as any in a circus are going able
all day long ; but two such ob
man and this boy couldn't be
were soon
nits plainly ;
y tall fellow,
and although
b made him
d enough for
t all the ool-
ky-blue cap,
r a crowd in
res as queer
ut the streets
jects as this
0 overlooked
even there. Half a dozen young English
soldiers, who were strolling through the
town, began first to stare at them, and then
to go after them. Then some other people,
turned and followed too, till at last the pair
found themselves heading quite a proceasion.
But the rnan seemed to take no noticeiand
and kept straight on, with the child n his
arms, giving him a shake and a rough word
every now and then, while the boy kept
screeching out,
"'Oh, papa, please don't hit me any morel'
"'I Bay, this won't do, you know,' said
big Dick Netherby, of the --th Dragoons,
who was sitting beside me.
If the follow bullies that poor little chap
any more, I'll go down and warm his hide
in a way he'll remember.'
"By this time the man had come close
underneath the veranda, and put the child
roughly down on the pavemenr, saying to
him :
"'Now, you lazy young whelp, just walk
on your own fent a bit. I'm not going to
carry a great heavy thing like yon all the
way home.'
"'Oh, papa, do carry me a littlo'farther ;
remember that I'm lame!'
"'Lame 1 yos, trust you for being lame
when you're told do anything If you don't
walk on this minute, when I tell you, I'll
lame yon Li earnest.'
4"Leave that boy alone, you coward 1'
roared Dick Nethorby, leaning over the bal-
ustrade of the veranda, 'or I'll break every
bone In your akin.' n
"'But the man took no notice of him, and
as the boy didn't go on, his father gave him
a slap on the aide of the head that fairly
knocked him down. Dick turned quite purple
with rage, and would havejnmptrlright down
into the atroot, and perhaps have broken
his log, if we hadn't held him. But just
then there memo a frightful scream of pain
from below, and we all rushed downstairs
and out of the door like so many madmen,
to see what had happened.
"All round the door there was such a
crowd gathered that it quite blocked up the
front of the hotel, and they seemed to be all
ehouting at on0e
"'Murder 1 Call a policemen, There's
one over yonder,'
"'Hold him tight, or he'll be trying to
tweak off.'
"'What a villain, to ettb hie own child i'
"There, euro enough; lay the boy seem-
ingly dead, and over him stood the father
with a knife in hit hand, which two soldiers
were just taking from him,
"'It the poor little fellow really dead 7'
asked Netherby, stooping tenderly over the
Wet child: Hullo 1 what Bort of boy is
this 1 Why, he seems all tribe and paper,
like a Japanese umbrella.'
"'Well, I goose that ain't wonderful,
eeein' he's made of whalebone and paste-
board,' said the euppoeed murderer, coolly,
'Say, Britisher, don't you knew* live boy
from an image yet ?'
"'An image?' echoed Dick, staring,
while the crowd buret into a roar of laugh-
ter.
"'That's so,' said the Yankee, tapping
the seeming boy with his knuckles. 'Fact
is, I'm a ventriloquist, and all that boy's hot-
lerin' was just my voice talkin' through that
image. Here's my card' (eoattering among
the crowd, as he spoke, a shower of cards
engraved with 'Silas J. Polyvox, Professor
of Ventriloquism') 'and if any of you folk*
caro to Dome to my performance at the Town -
hall tomorrow evening, I'll fix you up a
deal better show than this one,'
"'And Profcs*or Polyvox kept his word -
on the following evening before a crowd
such as the Town -hall had not new since it
was built,"
