The Brooklyn bridge le no less a marvel
than it ever was, and the people of the metro-
polis wonder how they ever got along with-
out it. Over 33,000,000 passengers paesed
over the bridge during the year ending Dec-
ember 1, of whom more than 30,000,000
were railway passengers. Not a single seri-
ous accident occurred on the railway. Fifty-
eight persons were irjured by falling on the
stairs or from other causes. Five lost child-
ren were found on the bridge. One person
commited suicide by shooting, and there
were forty-two runaways with slight dam-
ages.
'The New York "Commercial Bulletin'
says the revenues collected by the United
States Government during the year 1888
amounted to $375,000,000, or about $6 per
head of the population. The highest rate of
Federal taxation ever collected was $15.73
per head, in 1866, The expenditure during
1888 was $290,000,000. The interest-bear-
ing debt was diminished during the year by
the sum of $100,000,003. The public debt
per capital ot population was at its highest
in 1865, when it averaged about $70 per ir -
habitant. The interest-bearing debt is now
less than $13 per capita of population. The
. money circulation of the United States at
the close of 1888 was greater by nearly $30,-
000,000 than when the year began, or, ap-
proximately, $1 410,000,000, as compared
with $1,380,000,000, at the close of 1887 ;
and this large increase is entirely in notes
of small denomination. Such notes have
been substituted so rapidly for larger
,nes that it is probable that the money cir-
culation in denominations of $20 at d under
was greater at the close of 1888 than at the
beginning by nearly $60,000,000.
The Dominion of Canada is composed of
seven provinces and a number of vast terri-
torial districts, whioh correspond to the
territories of the United States. The pro-
vinces bear a relation to the individual
states. They are unequal in size, British
Columbia having 390,344 square mike o
area, and little Prince Edward island centain-
ing only 2,133 square miles. Quebec has
193,355 square miles, Ontario has 107,780,
Nova Scotia 21,730, New Brunswick 27,322,
and Manitoba possesses 113,961. The enorm-

square miles, Keeweytin 895,306 ; the
Arctic islands, 311,700, and the islands

Treatment of Rheumatism.
A combination of ealicylie acid and iron is
recommended in the treatment of acute
rheumaeism, the fern ula for which was ob-
zained in the following way:
Abut a year ago a heepital nurse was
pouring into a common receptacle some ran -
meets of different medicines, when she natio-
ed that a black precipitate formed by iron
was turned into a transparent solution of a
rich red hue, as sone as she poured the fluid
contents of another bottle into it. Being a
young wonia,n of an enquiring turn of mind,
she asked the house physician the came of
this phenomenon. The house staff, to help
her in her desire for information, experi-
mented with the drugs that she had been
throwing out, and ascertained that her man-
ipulation of chemicals had been this : she had
first poured into the receptacle a salicylic
acid. Into this the had poured a solution
of iron, with the result of producing a black
precipitate. To this she added some sodium
phosphate, with the result of producing a
clear rad solution.
This at once gave a clue to the means of
combining iron and salinylic acid without
forming a precipitate. The facts were sub-
mitted to the apothecary of the hospital, and
from them he produced the following for-
mula, ; which has been in constant use near-
ly a year.

Milk as Medicine.
Milk is one of the best medicines in the
pharmacopoeia, or out of it. Beef tea rarely
contains more than a fourth of the nutriment
of milk, and. raw beef juice is only equal to
it in the nutritive scale. In diseases of the
stomach, milk is invaluable, and if the
patient finds it too heavy, lime, soda, or
potass water may be added, or he may
take skim milk, which is deprived of tbe
tat, oi whey, which has no curd, and is
I very easily absorbed. In coesumption,
; milk is an essential article of diet, and in
IBright's disease it forms an important part
of the treatment. In fact, we may almost
, say with the country minister, who took it
as an adjunct to chicken grill, "Milk's guid
wi' a' things.'
Treatment of Corns.
With properly -shaped and sufficiently -
large boots, corns rarely form, and will
often disappear spontaneously when the un-
due pressure is removed. They may be
besb treated by painting them frequently
with tincture of iodine, er a strong solution
of bichromate of potash, and shaving off
with a sharp knife the hardened outer
layers thus acted upon. The corn doctor
goes deeper and tries to remove the whole
conical wedge of epidermis. The soft corn
should be hardened by powdering frequent-
ly with tannin and keeping tle opposite
surfaces constantly apart by means of rings
of felting, or little rolls of linen. For an
inflamed corn, the foot should be kept in an
elevated position as much as postible ;
evaporating lotions of spirit and water
should be frequently used, and softening
ointments applied.
Sore Hands.
Apply the following liniment :—Liquor
ammoniac, tincture of opium, spirits of tur-
pentine, and olive oil, equal parts of each.
After washing the hands in the morning, at
midday, and in the evening, and drying,
pour a teaspoonful of the liniment in the
palm of one hand, and then rub the hands
and finers together as if washing them.
Repeat the process, having poured a tea-
spoonful into the other hand, so that the
liniment may be equally distributed. Work
the handa together till dry. If the sore
parts smart too much, the liniment should
have a little oil added to it.

Persons who are troubled with feet which at

Effects of Tobacco in Excess
Those who can use tobacco without im-
mediate injury will have all the pleasant
effects reversed, and will suffer from the
samptoms of poisoning if they exceed the
limits of tollerance, These symptoms are •,
1. The heart'a action becomes more rapid
when tobacco is used ; 2. Palpitation, pain,
or unusual sensations in the heart ; 3.
There is no appetite in the morning, the
tongue is coated, delicate flavors are not
appreoiated, and acid dyspepsia occurs after
eating; 4. Soreness of the mouth and
throat, or nasal catarrh appears, and be-
comes very troublesome; 5. The eyesight
becomes poor, but improves when the habit
is abandoned; 6. A desire, often craving
or liquor or s.oine other stimulant, is experi.
timed,
A Wholesome Stimulant,
Milk heated to much above one hundred
degrees Fahrenheit loses for a time a degree
of its sweetness and density. No one who.
fatigued by over-exertion of body or mind,
has ever experienced the reviving influence
of a tumbler of this beverage, heated as hot
as it can be sipped, will willingly forego a
resort to it because of its being rendered
somewhat less acceptable to the palate.
The promptness with which its cordial in.
fluence is felt is indeed eurprising. Some
portion of it seems to be digested and appro-
priated almost immediately ; and many who
now fancy they need alcoholic stimulants
when exhausted by fatigue will find in this
simple draught an equivalent that will be
abundantly satisfying and far more enduring
in its effects. There is many an ignorant,
overworked woman who fancies she could
not keep up without her beer; she mistakes
it@ momentary exhilaration for strength, and
applies the whip instead of nourishment to
her poor exhausted frame. Any physician
will tell her that there is more real strength
and nourishment in a slice of .bread than in
a quart of beer ; but, if she loves stimulants,
it would be a very useless piece of informa-
tion.

DEAVNESS IN CHILDREN. —The friends of a
deaf child have sometimes not the slieht-
est notion that it is hard of bearing: and, re-
flecting on the faults and corruption of their
own nature in youthful days, they are apt to
inform the little sufferer that it is careless or
provokingly obstinate, and that " None is so
deaf as he that won't hear." We read in
Holmes' "System of Surgery " of a boy who,
from early life had been the subject of aural
dieease, and iailto actually died from ahem
in the brain caused thereby, but whose fatlier

SLAIN BY A BOY FIEND.
Peculiarly Revolting Mader �t an Old
Woman in a country House.
Cann N. Y., Jan. 24, 1889.-4 horrible
murder was committed between the hours of
seven and twelve last night at Myron Davis'
house in the town of Riga, on the Chili road,
two and a half miles from Chili Station and
twelve miles from Rochester. Mrs. Mary
J. Hale, a lady sixty years of age was killed
by Chris Burger or Sticklenburger, a six-
teen -year-old boy. The murderer killed his
victim witb a boot, pounding her head and
face to a pulp, breaking the frontal bones of
the skull and crushing the nose and fore-
head.
Last evening Myron Deals' wife and two
children left their home about seven o'clock
to attend a school entertainment. There
were left in the house Mrs. Hale, two of
Davis' young children and Chris Burger or
Sticklenburger (he went by two names). The
boy seemed to be in good humor when Mrs.
Davis and the two children left the house.
A GHASTLY swam
At twelve o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Davis re-
turned. On entering the bedroom occupied
by Mrs. Hole and the two children left at
home with her they were horrified to find
the body of thee; lady lying on the floor in a
pool of blood. • The dead woman's face was
a terrible sight. Lying on the dead woman's
breast, ite hande covered with her
blood, was the youngest child, aged three
years. It lead evidently crawled on the
body after Mrs. Hale's death. Upon a search
being made it was found that a drawer of a
bureau in theroom which the murder was
conernitted had been ransacked, A .silver
watch, a loaded revolver, a half dollar of the
coinage of 1812 which was a keepsake in the
family, and a bunt% of keys were missing,
It was found later that the murderer had
also taken Mr. Davis' overcoat.

months. Mrs. Hale had been employed by
the family only two months, She was born
in the house it having once belonged to her
father. Yes'terda.y Barger assisted in killing
hogs at a neighboring fermerts. No motive
for the crime is known, but Me Davis thinks
that the boy expeoted to find a latige sum of
money in the house. One theory is that the
boy Wad opening the drawers, when Mrs.
Hale discovered him mia attempted to stop
him, and that he being afraid of snot re.
solved to kill her.

One of the most lamentable oases of ter-

fatuous inclination which so many persons
have to get off or on railway traine while in
motion, happened in Orilla last week,
when Mr. A. D. Kean, a barrister of that
town, had both his legs taken off above the
knee, dying next day. It seenas4' im-
possible by admonition, to secure much at-
tention to the dictates of common sense in
such matters, but surely accidents like that
in Orillia ought to pretieh prudence with
toegues louder than thunder.
There is any quantity of curiosity and
argumentation going on as to the gentlemen
whom President-elect Harrison is likely to
honour by calling them to his cabinet. No
thiug definite is known, as the General is a
man who has a faculty for holding his
tongue when he thinks it necessary. Even
his friends admit that he is as close as an
oyster, a good listener, but a veritable
sphinx so far as answering goes. So that it
would seem they are all as much in the dark
as anybody. The thing is to be settled in the
President's own head, ana as the responsibile
her will be his in any case he means to settle
it without advice.
John Chinaman may be patient under
provocation, but he does not always yield
his rights without a fight for them. There
is a case just now before the Supreme Court
of the Ueited States wherein Chae Chan
Ping challenges the constitutionality of the
Chinese Exclusion Act of 1888. It seems
that he went to China in June, 1887, but not
withbut securing a return certificate as re-
quired by law from the Collector of the port
of San Francisco. This certificate was ig-
nored on his return in 1888, on the plea
that the Exclusion Act made it void, and
this is the question which the Supreme
Court has been called upon to decide.

was going to chastise with scorpions those
whom his father had been contented tc pun-

results of a sunilar kind do not follow a sim
itar " pig-headed " policy in the nineteenth
century:
Public feeling on the other side is being

The doctor sprang to the rescue and a life years old, was in perfect health until a

the doctor managing to hurl the fierce brute fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness,

He had to sue Mrs, Parker before he could
obbain any aatisfaction for the terrible risk
he had run and a jury awarded him $700
damages.
That the most complete freedom of con-
science in matters of worship prevails in the
United States is evident from the fact that
a heathen temple for Chinese Buddhist
ceremonial was recently opened in New
York and the newspapers gave full accounts
of the performances. And net only this,
but so far as we know, not a word of pro-
test was entered against heathenism being
thus permitted to place itself side by side
with Christianity. Of course any other
views would have been al togetber incon-
sistent with right conceptions of liberty.
Buddhism has the same right to erect a
temple in New York, and even to carry on
a religious propaganda there'as American
or Canadian Presbyterians or Baptists have
to erect churches in Pekin.
The city, town, village and township par-
liaments have been chosen for another year.
Hundreds of people have been deputed by
their fellows to manage their local affairs,
and in this way to train themselves for im-
portant and prominent duties by and by,
Let no man despise such offices. Let no
man belittle the duties attached to them.
They are of the very essence of liberty.
They are schools in which men are taught to
transact public business, to interest them-
selves in the common weal, and to see to it
that the country or district shall suffer no
wrong. Sometimes those chosen may be no
greataffairs. Sometimes the position of
Councillor or Alderman may be sought for
selfish reations. Never mind, the arraege-
ment lies at the very foundation of self gov-
ernment all the same. It is home govern-
ment in its essence, and nobody but a fool
would speak lightly either of its duties, or
of its privileges. If things were exactly as
they ought eo be, the very best men would
be willing to serve in such unpaid positions
and the country would see to it that these
best men were chosen. To affect to despise
such positions, and to make fun of those
who occupy them, is a crime against liberty,
and so far a preparation to its overthrow.
Planets Visible in February.
Four planets may be seen in February.
Mercury, Venus and Saturn are evening
stars. Jupiter is morning star.
Mercury, during the first week of the
month, is visible to the naked eye, having
just passed his nearest approach to the
earth, and his period of greatest brilliancy.
He sets on the 1st about an hour and a half
after the sun. If the evening be exception-
ally clear, an observer will easily find this
rarely bea,utiful plenet, three-quarters of an
hour after sunset, in tbe southwest, nearly
eight degrees north of the sunset point. An
opera -glass will be an aid in finding him,
and when found, it is easy to follow his
course with the unaided eye.
Venus is the peerless evening star, reign-
ing supreme in the southwestern sky. She
reaches her greatest distance east from the
sun, on the 18th, and then retraces her steps
toward him. Her stay above the horizon,
after this time, will be shorter, but her size
and brilliancy will conetantly increase as
she approaches the earth. Venus will be
seen in her most charming aspect during
February, March and April. She mint not
be mistaken for the "Star of Bethlehem,"
which has no present existence except in
the popular imagination.
Saturn is evening star. He is nearest to
the earth on the 5th, Dad in excellent posi-
tion for observation during the whole month.
Ile may be found on the 5th in the north-
east, rising when the sun sets, and remain-
ing visible through the entire night. Ob-
servers ca,n easily follow his couree remem-
bering that he rises four minutes earlier
evety night. Saturn may be known by his
pale yellow color and sex One. stea.dy light,
and also by the bright star Regulus in the
handle of the Sickle, a few degrees south-
east of him.
Jupiter is morning star, rising on' the let,
more than two hours before the sun, and on
the last of the month, more than four houra
before the sun. A glance at the southeastern
sky aftsr he has risen will reveal the
presence of the majeatic king of the stags.
lie cannot be mistaken for any other, for no
other etar in the vicinity compares with him
in brightness.
The starlit sky of February reveals much
to interest those who watch the planets ha
their ieurses. Venus and Mercury shine
in the southwest in greater and loser glory.
Saturn' holds hi a court in the southeast in
the early evening, and Jupiter, sole repres-
entative of the brotherhood in the morning
sky, reigns without a rival as the sun's
bright harbinger.
