takes place by the third day. Yet many
patients will nob consent to an operation
until the case becomes one of life or death,
and not a few physicians even sympathize
with them.
Doter Agnew, of New York, saw a case
on Monday, and urged an operation; but
the attending physician and the fatally pre-

being asked to operate, Doctor Agnew re-

the family physician thought the patient

would be dead within three hours. He died
in half that time.

are such as to cause alum, a phersteuen is

A few general hints as to simple modes of
treatment may not be amiss.
Some children Lave a tendency toward
croup time manifests itself as night ap-
proaches in feverishness, hoarseness and a
barking cough. Such symptoms should not
be disregarded. The child's feet muse be

line. Aconite may be given at the rate of
half a drop in a teaspoonful et water every
half-hour for three or four doses. If the
cold is a fresh one this may check it and
produce a gentle perspiration. When the
unpleatiant symptoms remain fifteen drops
of syrup of ipecac may be; given every
twenty minutes until the hoarseness is re-
lieved or the child vomits. Should the
little one waken atuldenly .from sleep with
hoarse cough and tightened breateing,
teaspoonful of ipecac containing as much
powdered alum as can be heaped on a silver
dhoti may be administered. If the child
does not vomit within half an hour, the dose
may be repeated. A bath in water of about
ninety-five degrees is, of course, excellent
in croup as tu congeetion or convulsions.
Croupy children should he kept housed
while there is :nelting snow on the ground.
The SnOW air often affects them even then,
and makes thaws anxious seasons for
mothers.
Slight bowel troubles can usually be reg-
ulated better by diet than by drugs.
Children suffering with loweness of the
bowels should, be fed with boiled milk, boil -
ad riots, arrow -root jelly, Mee flour porridge,
sago or tapioca, atm soft toast. Raw fruit
and sweets should be especially avoided.
The regimen is not severe, and is more at.
tractive than dozing. Children whose ten-
deney is in the opposite direction should
have a laxative diet, coneieting of oatmeal,
hominy, mush, wheaten grits, baked pato-
. toes, beef juice, apple sauce, etc. Sugar of
milk mity bc added to the food as a gentle
corrective, a teaspoonful three times a day
usually being enough to produce the desired.
effect.
Pain in the stomach or bowels, or colic, is
so varied in its manifestations that it is
hard to lay down eny fixed rule of treat-
ment. If the colic springs from acidity, a
teaspoonful of liznewater, or a pinch of car-
bonate of soda dissolved in % little water,
still often relimo the patient. Where there
is any inclination to sourness of stomach,
Imo water should always be added to the
milk which 11 child drinks. For pain in the
towels a teaspoonful of anise cordial mixed
with a teaspoonful of hot water often pro-
duces a happy effect. Flannels dipped in
hot spirits and wrung out may be laid on
the bowels of the sufferer, and frequently
prove very soothing. In sharp pain laud-
anum may he added to the spirits. An old
fashioned spice plaster is an excellent
remedy. It is made by mixing a heaping
easpoonful each of ground cinnamon,
Moves,mace and allspice with two of ginger.
The mixture is quilted between two thick-
nesses of red flannel about eight inches long
by six wide. The plaster may be applied,
dry or dipped in boiling alcohol and laid on
the little patient's abdomen as hot as he
.an bear it In cases of weakness of the
bowels this plaster may be worn constantly
with benefit.
The enumeration of such remedies might
he inoreased. indefinitely. They will sug-
gest themselves to every thoughtful
mothm.
Although an overuse of drugs is always
to he deplored, each hotne where there are
little folks should be supplied with its
medicine chest or cabinet, kept locked, and
the key in the mother's possession. In
this leas or cupboard, besides the paregoric,

A alast Who Hai lived longer lu Central
A.rrlea than Any Other European.
Amedee Legat is a man of iron physique
who has lived longer in Central Africa than
any other white man. It is eleven years
since he entered the service of the Owego
Free State. Of the hundreds of white ser-
vants of the State employed in the far in-
terior, not one, except Legat, has lived
more than three years in Africa, before going
home to Europe for recuperation. Legat,
alone has never asked for a vacation. For
ten years he has not seen the sea. For
most of the time lie has lived dione, sur-
rouuded by savage tribes, and with no com-
forts or conveniences of oivilization save
these which he could himself provide. He
is now almost in the geographical centre of
Africa, the sole representative of the State

Legat is now 32 years old. He is so com-
pletely isolated from his fellow officers that
if he were to start for the nearest post it
would take him uhree and a half mouths to
reach it ; and he could not reach a steamer
for Europe in less than e00 days. For two
years he lived without a single European
assistant at Luebo, on the Upper Kassel
River, nearly 500 miles above Stanley Pool.
Twice a vear a steamer visited him to re-
plenish his supplies, ea(' learn how lie was
ilourishing in the wilderness. These were
red-letter days for Legat, for then he receiv-
ed /otters from his mother and news from
the outside world. Fatigues, privationteand
isolation apparently have had no effect upon
Leget's iron frame. He was born to pioneer
the way into just such savage lemons as

The Blaok Death.
The beginnings of the black death arose
in Chios About the year 1333 with drought
and famine in the areat river plains, which
were followed by floods so violent that 400,-
000 .peoplit perished. Great telluric con-
vultuons occurred over the same tracts. The
mountain Taincheou fell in and vast clefts
were formed, from which it is said that
noxious vapors ascended. Anyhow, flood
and famine were followed next year by a
terrible plague, which carried off o,000,t03
of the wretched Chinese, while in 1337 a
still more dreadful famine destroyed another
4,000,000.
The destructive march of the pestilence
can net now be accurately traced ; but it
swept along from east to west, slowly
enough, but with inexorable wing. Rue
more of trotted° and disaster heralded its
approaoh. A thick, sinking mist was re-
ported to herald nr accompany 'the march

A fire broke out at 7.30 on Saturday
morning at a large warehouse situated on
Kaiser Quay, Hamburg. The damage done
is estimated at several mullion marks. One
of the firemen has been teriously injured,
and Herr Tegge, the quay inspector, is
missing. The merchandise stored in the
warehouse included large quantities of coffee
cotton, ancl Oranoes. In the celler were
barrels of palm oil and spirits. The cellar
was flooded in the hope of saving the con-

DEAR Ste,—Your " Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills'
are the best regulator for the system that humanity
can use. Life is as the then piece: frail and delicate
are many of its works. A tiny varticle of foreign
substance adhere:. o the smallest wheel in the works
and what is theresult/—at first, only a slight differenti
is perceptible ii its time -keeping, but wait you; as
the obstruction grows, the Irregularity becomes
greater, until at last, what could have been reetiked
with little trouble, in the beginning, will now require
mtich care in thoroughly cleansing the entre work,
So it is in hamart life—a slight derangement is het,
lected, it grows and increases, imperceptibly at firet,.*i
then rapidly, until what could, :he beginning,
have been .ured with little trouble, beemnes almost
fatal. To :revent this, I advise all to purify the
system frecliently, by the use of Morse's Pills, and •
so urs,^^, --ii —oor and vitality.
Yours faithfully,
H. F. 9rwia.t.
