Simple catarrhal colitis is a not encommon affection, 11 may arise . front the saute rnusoas catarrh of Other 13000118 membranes, us of 1lru hrmhcillal tube's, for example, or it may bo caused by the presenoo in the intes- tine of lud[geslible or partially dceoin- prsett food; a not infrequent cause Is constipation, the matters which should be disoharged being retained, end by their presence setting up nn irritator, The most prominent symptom is cear- rLcen, This usually conies on sudtten- ly, and is \l'sJel'y in claret:ter, often tllge<l with blood. Ass eriulcd with this is considerable abdominal pain, occur- ring in paroxysms, -00110, -end follow- ing the course of the large intestine, et one or the oilier stele of the abdomen Or along lis upper border. The appetite is peel', the tongue ;s ecattet with a white fur, nausea is cam- m<.n, and vomiting sometimes ocean's. There Is usually more or less fever, and t_•e pulse is rapid amt weak. Tho treatment consists •tsts in absolute reel in bed, a very restricted diet (pre- lerably milk and lhn_water in small quantities), and the administration of astringent remedies. The latter is, sl course, to be left to the physician, for much harm may be done by injudicious medication. The symptoms of dysentery hie very similar to those of the disease under consideration, but dysentery is a ranch more serious affection. The pos- sibility that the disease is dysentery ra- ther than simple colitis Is an added rea- son for seeking medical advice, and not attempting to cure Lhe trouble with damesilc treatmen t, Another and more serious form of in- flammation of the colon is what is call- ed membranous colitis. This disease occurs usually in young adults, and in W01110.11 more commonly than in men. The initial symptoms are similar to those of simple colitis, but the diar rhtna does not last long, and alternates with p<'riods of obstinate constipation. In the passages, especially during the periods of constipation, are patches ' f membrane, soinetlrnes\ of considerable size, looking like wet parchment, term- ed of sheets al tenacious muoes. The subjects of tlrts disease, which is chronic In character, ore usually clys- ptptie, suffering much from flatulence, anemic, and depressed 'n1 spirit. The 0ealmenl is mutely hygienic. The patent should live mucic in the open air, have long hours of sleep, eat plen- ty of nourishing food, scrupulously avoiding fried moats, pastry, and other indigestible articles of dict. A. change of air and scene is often curative In its effects. The patient should ulso, if pos- sible, have some light, but interesting occupation, which will serve to turn his mind from 1118 ailment, ACQUIRE ART OF RELAXING. Relaxing is an art not difficult to ac- quire. Just Bop, limbering every joint in your body as a baby does, Dont al- low nay stiffness to remain anywhere in your anatomy. Begin with your nett and think about every joint from there down to your toes, until they aro loose. Then try to think of nothing whatever or of something trivial and pleasant. Fifteen minutes passed in this way will rest you more tion hours of restless, troubled sloop. Your nerves will regain their tone, and small troubies will be easily passed over; your expression will be cheerful and attractive, and ugly lines will be smoothed out and driven away, making you appear years young- er. HOME REMEDIES. For colic of infants use one drop of essence of peppermint in two ounces or sweetened 'water. For tbothache dampen a small piers el cotton with oil of cloves. and put in cavity of 10o111. For pain in chest ar headache with a cold apply camphorated oil with rub- bing and cover with cloth. For sprains, mosquito bites, stomata rash, and summer heat apply witch-' hazel. For chronic indigestion Adel one -halt ounce of lime water to pint of liquid. For sour stomach lake a teaspoonful of soda bicarbonate to a glass and sip slowly before meals. Dry suiphtur, rubbed thoroughly into the scalp, will stop falling hair. Some pimples aro so deep they leave a scar after they heal. Carbolated vase - line, eurchased et qny drug store, often will euro the most obstinate red spots. If the Thin' girl wants to get fat quick- ly let her take the Viennese chocolate cure. She must eat chocolate for ten days; then resume her regular diet for a week, returning to the chocolate pre- .paratons for ten <lays more and so on. Itis excellent for the stomach, .giving It plenty of n0urishrneet and rest mean- while. TAN HAT'S FOR FEVER. New Method of Treating Patients Who Have TYfihoid Fever.

Devitt Livingstone, the dost white man to coons the Manyerno country 171. Cen- tral Africa, was reluctant to believe that cannibalism 108.5 not in some way as - spieled with superstitious rites. But when he saw the eagerness of the 1111- thus aIfvas for wild was evideotly their favor- ite food ho could no longer close lets eyes to rho siruple lar,4-rho Congo man preferred human flesh to any other kind of meat. The extent of the practice is indicated it the evidence given before the various Congo inquiry commissions. One native witness alter, another camp forward and lido on the table bundles of twigs or leaves, each ono representing a humtm being that had been killed and eaten by the so -caned sentries employed by two 13ciglnn administration to supervise the bringing in pf rubber. IL has even been asserted that Ibose tribes which do not indulge in the prac- tice aro inferior, mentally and physi- cally, to the cannibals. "And yet," wild 1,ivinghlono, speaking of the Manyema, "[hey aro a fine looking race. 1 would back them to be superior in shape and general physique to the entire Anthro- pological Society." For many years travellers generally omitted from 111510 looks mention of cannibalism. Such. stories would, they fancied, be considered exaggerated if not POSITIVELY UNTRUE. But of late the explorers of all nation- alities havo studied both people and practice with scientific zeal, Sir harry Johnston, Herbert Ward, COminendant Guy Burrows of the Congo administration, Dr, Parke. Capt. S. L. }Undo, also In King Leopold's servl00, and many others '•lave Spentyears among the Congo tribes, and then give in a matter-of-fact way details of the habits of Lha savages which are almost iner•edihle. In the Bangala country not only arc the bodies of idose slain in betlle eaten, bul the natives habitually kilt more fur food. And about this there is touch curious system, such as in- clines students of anthropology to sus- pect some .ridden origin. Thus the prisoner is not killed out- right, but is placed chin deep In a pool of wafer with iris head made fast to a log lest 130 drown. The victim's limbs, Ly the way, have been broken three day: previously. On the third day the poor creature is taken out and killed. This procedure, Iho Berea Wingate say, makes the flesh memo lender, Capt. S. L. I -Linde, returning home from Stanley Falls on the Congo, had personal experience of these people. On the down rivet' trip to Roma six of the Bangala crew were put in irons, charged with having eaten two of their own compan- ions, Tho accusal were magnificent savages, over G feet high anel superbly proportioned. Two of 1110 3rew, it seemed, had !ellen an the voyage up, and were alloyed by the captain to take a few clays rat. But when next rations we're served they wore missing. Tho master of the steam- er was told they had died in Bo night and been buried ashore. And this seemed likely enough. But the captain of the ship had his doubts, I -Ie made a sudden raid on the quartets of his Ban - gala hands, and discovered PARTS OF '01I13 MiSSING MEN, smoke dried 311(1 oat up conveniently to the lockers of the six 'suspects, now -go- ing to trial at Leopoldville. In truth, the Darwinian theory of the stu•vivai of the fittest is seen in Central Africa in all its pitiless application. Even women, unable to keep up with the much of the warriors, are killed and cut up for food instead of being left behind of the mercy of other tribes or wild beasts. Nor do the blacks of the Congo forest enanthal' themselves with the sick or lame, who are similarly disposal of. The cannibals in all cases extract the toetil of their bumen prey for necklaces and bra0elels. The hair is made into 1s111ng lines anti nets ; the skin goes to cover war drums and the skulls become fashionable decorations in the homes of tribal chiefs, whose greatest glory Is a long array of these .trophies of the chase. • Commandant Guy Burrows, lately in the servlco of the Congo Administration, told the (51110r of a curious story of the Rataite people, a body of whom he led i11 a punitive expedition against the Me- L'ado tribes. - I saw e. boy .tit in the shoulder by a ball from an ol(1 muzzle loader," he said, "11nel yet, although seriously hurt, his looped entirely unconcerned; they net utter fatalists, these fellows.

"The boy recovered and served me for yea's. But those Batake cannibals Haver forgave me. They deserted in dignified protest; disg 15(8(1 with mo for refusing them such a trifle. after they had borne the heat and burden of the day.

They even pursue the elephant, shooting it in the tool with poisoned ar. rows and then lraclting it until it be- comes helpless, when they finish. off the monster with their spears, Capt, Ewart S. Grogan, the explorer, who wanted the whole length of Attica tram 1110 Cape to Cairo, collected ample testimony of the pygmies' aversion io human flesh. lee witnessed a big tribal 1i5111 in this country between the Baleke and the Bangale, and after all was over he carte upon the victors feasting on the bodies of the slain, while tho tiny apo men, weary as they were with their share of the tray, were scouring the country round for vegetable food. Hebert Ward, F.13. G. S., is another traveller who has given much study to this question. And be, loo, testifies that the savages of the Upper Congo simply prefer human meat to any other. They asked him innocently if he also did not enjoy it, and each headman in bringing presents to the while traveller - skinny fowls, bananas, sugar cane, and so on -invariably Included quantities of smoke dried pleat, spitted on sieewwrs and unmistakeably of human origin. "We do as aur lathers have dome," these savages told him with an indifferent shrug, when remonstrated with on the subject, "It is good to eat meat that hulked," complacently said another tribe. In the Ubangi country A'M. Ward be- held the mens necks adorned with strings of human teeth, dried fingers and collarbonos ; and all the houses wore decorated with skulls on the outside. In the Ngombi region on the Lulungu Rive', a mighty tributary of the Congo, eight. hundred miles from the Atlantic coast, Mr. Ward found a series of strongly for - tilled villages, where the Ubangi canni- bals came to buy slaves, drawing upon the supplies for food as required. Turning to two South Sea Islands, the Germans, Dutch and British aro striving to put down cannibalism in their respec- tive. spheres In New Guinea. So far these efforts have mot with little success. The prectico is too deep sealed to bo eradi- cated in a generation or two. No New Guinea maiden will loon with favor on a suitor whose hut is not plastered with human skulls ars testimony to his prow- ess as hunter and general provider for tee home. In the Solomon Islands, New Britain MA New Ireland, the natives aro also cannibals from deliberate choice. in the lelrrnls os late as 1850 lived canni- bals aa -ruthless as any on earth.
