In case of tire it is ospeoialty atoaoseary to have seine one about who is posse -mai of a coal head and is capable of acting promptly and wisely. The most euuuassful way 10 which to put nut a small fire is to smother it in any thick woolen article which mnaybeathand. Lace curtains and light window drapery are quite liable to catch fire from gee jets, when the latter are unprotected by shades, Send for that reason a gas jet near a curtain should al- ways have a shade OVER it, as the slightest gust of wind natty blow the Inflammable material against the light, when it will instantly break intoa blaze. In enol cases the only thing to do is to tear down the curtain without the least delay and smother it in any woolen materials at hard. It is useless to specify or multiply in- stances, for each case is an emergency of its own and brings its own difficulties ; which only coolness and promptness can solve. Wuere tsars has been but a slight fire there frequently are serious burins on the person. and to the treatment of these It is well to pay attention, as prompt action is of the greatest necessity. Where there has been a serious case of burning, the ab- sence of pain, often a feature of the case, is a bad omen, as it shows that the nerves stave been seriously shocked. Severe pain, on the other side, is not always an indication of a dangerous case. Where a burn appears to be serious a physician should he snmmon- 'ed at once. In the meantime an ehternsl which shall exclude the air should be used. Wet a piece of old linen with equal pens of lithe water and olive oil, shaken well to- gether, and apply it to the injured part, covering it with a layer of cotton wadding. Where lime water and oil are not at hand, .eJJayer of dry flour or of olive oil Moue may be applied. Aa application of equal parts of hot water and milk with t little bicarbonate of soda in it is another preparation recommended. If you have nothing else at hand, use warm water applied on a linen rag and covered with another rag or with cotton wadding. The use of stimulants to support the strength of a pereou suffering front a severe burn is essential. In cases of burns from alkalies, dime or potash, weak vinegar or diluted acid will frequently soothe the suffering, In ease of burns from strong acid, like oit of 'vitriol, carbonate of soda and water or lime water should at once be applied, or even a thick mixture of soap and water. After this olive oil may be used. It is a good plan to keep lime water always on hand in case of slight burns, such as are sometimes re- ceived in work about the coon stove. Cholera in Winter.

In 1833 cholera made its first np- pearanoe in London suburbs on the 13th of February, and in Dublin there weeks later, The first death from cholera in North Amer- ica that year occurred at Quebec on the 5th of June. Municipal authorities and house- holders should work together this winter to the end that sanitation shall be in the best possible shape to prevent or resist an out- break in the spring. The importance of this precaution is aceentuated by the re- appearance of cholera in Hamburg within the deat week, to the astonishment of alt ()srmany,which had been officially in- formed that the disease had been stamped out.

Charcot, the greatest lim. sit ing authority as to nervous diseases, takes , g a thoroughly hysterical woman from her Parents, her husband, her children, even her friends and acquaintances, sends her in another city, or another country, where she cannot be reached by any one likely to sympathize with her and where there are atringeot orders given that site should form ;no acquaintaucssitip with any other one. A competent mase is provided, who is to be elf the homely, unimaginative type, with iron nerves or no nerves at all, and who is not likely to encourage the pa. tient in emotional outbursts of any ' Blind.

He advocates primarily, as does Dr. Mit- •shell, large, airy rooms, with an exposure full to the sun, and prefers that the furnish. ings, hangings and papering should bo of :colors light rather than somber and gay co the eye. In addition to these requirements Dr• Charcot insists on the curative effects of birds and Bowers, both because of the joyous note they give to the surroundings and of the Dare they necessitate, being just saki. enb to give that light, agreeable employment 1 that is healthful.
