The offloacY of het Water in infleirimatory conditions eau hardly be overrated. To a limited extent its value has long been tknown. Our mothers and grandmothers made use of woolen cloths dipped in hot water in some forme of inflammation. At ,present the worth of this remedy in almost all forms of pain is generally r ecognized by the medical profession, Hot cloths, how., ever, are not convenient" of application in many eases. They are apt to wet the cloth- ing, and they soon cool and recmire re- peated dipping. The rubber bag is in every respect superior. Once brought to the proper temperature, the heat o long re- tained ; it is neat, and in every way easy of • application. Every family in the country, as well as in the city, should have at least one reayd for any emergency. Says the Medica ' Mirror : a As a profesaion, we do not sufficiently appreciate water bags. The amount of ',comfort in one of them cannot be known ex- cept from actual experience. There ohould be, if possible, half a dozen bags of varioue aizes in the sick room, easy of accese and ready for use." Rubber bags are also of great value in amid weather for persons of weak circula- tion. They are much superior as foot warmers to heated soap -stones. To many an aged person such a bag plaoed against the batik in bed is exceedingly agreeable and wattling. The same bags may also be of great ser- vice in cases of high fever, if partly filled with pounded ice or ice-cold water. Placed along the spine and at the base of the brain, or around the head, they rapidly reduce the temperature and soothe the patient. Gene- rally however, ice bags are made of thinner and more delicate rubber. A writer in the magazine above mentioned says: • Once when I had gone ten miles into the country, and had happened to carry with me one of these little bags, I brought it into immediate requisition on a patient with a temperature ,of 106 degrees, whose head was rioting in pain. " Before I left the house he declared that he would not take $10,000 for tbe relief produced by the simple rubber bag half .filled with ice."— Youth's Companion. 110W SHE WAS WON.

And there they sat dreaming, pondering, thinking—she about the diamond ring and he wondering where on earth he should stump up the money to buy one. mow to Give medicines. Falsehoods should never be resorted to in order to induce children to take medicine ; child inernory is very retentive as such, which, as they grow older, may have a very pereicious influence. Telling a child that the medicine is nice, when quite the con- trary, is realty shocking ; yet this is done •every day. Bribery, coaxing and threats, too, ought never to be used. The better way is to try mild persuasion, and if he will not obey, or be toe, young for reason, ing, then to use no time in parleying, but to lay him across the lap, hold his hands and nose, pour the mixture or powder well back upon the tongue, and not relax held or withdraw the spoon until the dose be swal- lowed. Firmness is kindness, in such cases; fuss and prolonged excitement being likely to do more harmahan the medicine would do good. More important still, such dis- cipline may have a salutary influence on a child's fortitude in after life. Inconsider- ately saying all manner of nonsense about' "the doctor," as though he were some one to be dreaded instead of welcomed, is another mistake. When illness occurs, little ones are likely to become timid and feverish through fear thus excited. Truth cannot he too strongly insisted on in all trans- actions with and among children. —Hamm Magazine. The New Adnalral or the Fleet. Sir John Edmund Commerell, V. C., G. C. B., F. R. G. S. whom the Queen has appointed Admiral 4:lithe Fleet in the place of the late Sir Provo Parry Wallis, is an officer of high distinction, who has seen ser- vice in China, South America, the Baltic, the Crimea and Ashantee (where he was dangerously wounded). From 1874-79 he was a Groom -in -Waiting to the Queen, after that for three years a Naval Lord of the Admiralty, and then Commander -in -Chief on the North - American and West Indian station. During Sir Edmund Commerell's tenure of the Com- mand -in -Chief at Portsmouth—from 1888 to 1891--seveeal important naval functions took place, notably, the review of the fleet at Spithead by the German Emperor, and the double launch by the Queen Of the "Royal Sovereign" and this "Royal Arthur."

Having no faults he was detested by all who knew hint, but:as no one dared confess this, each sap - posed the others loved him. Of course he was wealthy. The gentle maiden he was to marry also detested him, but without fully realizieg it, for she had been repeat- ecilyconegratule.ted by her parents on her good fortune in securing the love of such a Perfect Man, and she was too well brought up to doubt their statements. When the wedding day arrived every pew in the village churoh was full. Now it happened all by chance that Pin- feather Presto, a fairy of American parent- age, was floating lazily along beneath the village elms that morning disguised as a blue-bdttle fly. When he neezect the church he saw at once some wedding was afoot, and he wad to himself : "Here's for a look at her. I always did love a bride 1" and he sailed boldly through the open door. Fly- ing straight over the heads of the people until he was well in front, he looked about and then at himself on the chancel rail. The great organ was pouring fourth a wedding march, and all eyes were turned eagerly toward the entering bride. She was pretty, but very pate, and it seemed to Mr. Pin- feather Presto that, were it not for •her father's arm, she would have sunk to the floor. A glance at the groom, and he recog. nized at once the Perfect Man. "That ex- plains it!" he n uttered angrily. " He'll nag her to death with his beastly goodness, and she knows it 1" As his eyes fell again upon her unhappy face, his soul revolted at the sacrifice. it's a shame !" he mut- tered; " and what's more, stop it !" Then, acting upon a quick resolve, he buzzed away to a distant corner of tho church, and disappeared behind a col- umn. In less than twenty seconds he emerged, this time as •ft beautiful golden - haired boy, just big enough to run about. The clergyman had begun the ceremony, and there was a solemn hush upon the con- gregation. Suddenly all ears were startled by a child's voice, and all eyes were turned upon the beautiful boy as he ran swiftly up the aisle. Then the Perfect Man felt a pair of chubby arms clasped tightly about his kneee, and heard in a clear voice that pene- trated every come? of the church : "Papa, mamma says '00 mustn't have anuzzer wife." A thrill of horror swept over the con- gregation. The bride swooned dead away and huug limp on her father's arm. The Perfect Man pushed rudely away the beau- tiful boy, and his own surprise and horror were taken for the embarrassment he would naturally display at the discovery of his guilt. All was tumult and confusion among the assembled friends, who quickly left the church to talk it over in each other's houses. A more enjoyable horror was never experienced in that particular village. Th‘maiden afterward married the faulty young man she really loved, and they are still living happily together. The beautiful boy was never seen again, and to this day is believed to have been murdered by his father, who finally droweed himself to escape the contempt of his neigh- bors 'A Story With a 311oral.
