Long -continued lividity as well as liv- idity produced by emotion and excitement, the respiration continuing normal, are in- dices of a, fault in the formation of the heart or the great vessels. 9. A temporary lividity indicates the ex- istence of a grave acute disease, especially of the respiratoryorgans. 10. The absence of tears in children four months old or more suggests a form of disease which will usually be fatal. 11. Piercing and acute cries indioate severe cerebro -spinal trouble. 12. Irregular muscular movements, which are partly under the control of the will during the hours when one is awake, indicate the existence of chorea. 13. The contraction of the eyebrows, to- -ether with the turning of the nead and eyes to avert the light is a sign of cephalalgia. 14. When the child holds his hand upon his head, or strives to rest the head upon the bosom of his mother or nurse, he may be suffering frets' ear disease. 15. When the fingers are carried to the mouth, and there is, beside, great agitation apparent, there is probably some abnormal condition of the larynx. • 16. The act of scratching or of pinching the nose in children indicates the presence of worms or some intestinal trouble. 17. When a child turns his head con scantly from one side to another, there is a suggestion of some obstruction in the larynx. 18. A hoarse and indistinct voioe is sug- gestive of laryngitis. 19. A feeble and plaintive voice indicates a trouble in the abdominal organs. 20. A slow and intermittent respiration accompanied with sighs, suggests the pre - Bence of cerebral disease. 21.

AlroTag and sonorous cough suggests spasmodic soup. 24. A hoarse and rough cough is an in- dication of true croup. 25. When the cough is clear and distinct, there is bronchitis. 26. When it is suppressed and painful, there is pneumonia and pleurisy. 27. If the cough is convulsive, it indi- cates whooping cough. 28. Sometimes one sees a dry and pain- less cough iu the course of typhoid or inter- mittent fever, in the course of difficultdentition, dentition, '41,„en attack of worms, under these conditions the cough is often due only to a bronchitis, which has been caused by the original disease. Vegetable, Animal and Mixed Food, J. Hartman relates his experience and impressions as follows : For 224 days he existed on vegetable diet alone, then for two months on animal diet, lastly for six months on a mixed diet. The results he gave in tables prepared by Prof. Valentine. He lived for 14 days on oats, grits and bread alone, then on beans and bread, etc. The increase and decrease in the food, drinking water, weight of the body, waste matter, and the influence of the one on the other were carefully given. The results are summed up as follows: While taking vegetable food the weight of the body in- creased markedly, however, not in a regu- lar and continuous manner, but by certain substances there was an increase. Under animal food some show an increase, some a decrease in the body weight. The result of the mixed diet was still more complicated. He drew interesting conclusions from the results as to the organization of pathological changes from the effects of diet. Of most interest was his conclusion, viz : that a mixed diet is the most natural and reason- able food for man. ' Curative Power of Water. There is no remedy of such general appli- cation and none so easilyobtainable as water, and yet nine persons in ten will pass it by in an emergency, to seek for something of less efficacy. There are but few cases of illness where water should not be given the highest place as a remedial agent. A strip of flannel or napkin folded length- wise and wrung out of hot water and ap- plied around the neck of a child that has the croup will usually bring relief in ten minutes. A towel folded several times and quickly wrung out of hot water and applied over st.;,. tieat of pain, in tootache or neural- gia, was generally afford prompt relief. This trea asitt in colic works like magic. We have' known cases that have resisted treatment for hours yield to this'in ten min- utes. There is nothing that will SO prompt- ly out short a congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism, as hot water when applied promptly and thoroughly. Pieces of cotton batting dipped in hot water and applied to all gores and new outs, bruises and sprains, is the treatment now adopted in hospitals. Tao, and Coffee to Children. Against the practice of giving tea, and coffee to children wo cannot speak too strongly. Childhood is the period when the nervous activity is at its greatest. The brain is ever busy in receiving new impres- sions, Reflex action, co-ordination of muscles, and the special senses are e,11 under a special course of training. The nervous system is pushed to its 'tamest caioacity, 1 and long is the list of victims that follow its over -stimulation, In these little people nothing but harm sem come froin the use of such cerebral stimulants as tea or coffee. Bad, then, as this praotice is, let us as phy- sicians be aggressive in its -prohibition.

I had deter- mined to smoke the cigar all up, and thus get the full worth of my money, but was finally obliged to throw three•fourths of it away. I know, however, exactly where I threw it, in case I should feel better the next day. Getting home, the old people were fright- ened, and demanded of me an explanation as to my absence and the rather whitish color of my complexion. Not feeling that I was called to go into particulars, and not wishing to increase my parents, apprehension that I was going to turn out badly, I sum- med up the case with the statement that I felt miserable at the pit of the stomach. Mustard plasters were immediately admin- istered, and I received careful watching for some hours. Finally, I fell asleep, and for- got my disappointment and humiliation in being obliged to thro w away three-fourths of my cigar. " own counthry." t Alani ' Had she, then, relations in Ireland ? No, she did not think so. She had not beard from any of them for a long time, and she thought they must all be dead by now. "Then what are you going there for ?" one interested girl asked ; and the answer came, strangely solemn, borne on the June air warm and golden with life and sunshine, "To die The poor old thing looked up as she spoke, and a strange flash kindled her hollow, washed-out, witch -like eyes. "Yes, mavoumeen, 1 want to die in the old counthry. My man was buried there before I went to America, and my father and mother lie in their graves in County Cork, and I cant die aisy in a counthry as they never knew. Some friends in the States got the money thegither to bring me as far as Queenston. "But you've more than just that, surely - something to take care of you when you get there ?" "Sorry a bit, beyont this," and she pulled out of her pocket a shabby little pureewhich hold an American quarter of a dollar, and an English sixpence. "Niver a bit beyont this; but they won't see an ould ooman starve, as has come home to die. I'll not want for bite nor sup long," she added, teebly ; "it's to die I'm going there." The hearts of the passengers, sailing in the soft June weather over the smiling sea, were touched with pity; and a purse was raised which would take her comfortably to her destination in County Cork, and provide for her for some time to come. She was touchingly grateful ; but, even if no one had been moved to help her, she was going home, all the same, to her "own counthry." Ah, if so much strength and courage can be born of love for a home on earth, why do we hesitate to turn our feet, at whatever cost, toward that home eternal in the heavens, which, if we seek, we shall find. Microscopic Possibilities. Perhaps the most wonderful thing that has been discovered of late is the new glass which has just been made in Sweden, differing from ordinary glass in its extraordinary refractive power. Our common glass contains only six substances, while this Swedish glass consists of fourtoen, the most important elements be- ing phosphorus and boron, which are not found in any other glass. The revolution which this new refractor is destined to make is almost inconceivable, if it is true, as is positively alleged, that, while the highest power of an old-fashioned microscopic lens reveals only the onefour hundred thousandth part of an inch, this new glass will enable us to distinguish one two hundred and four million seven hundred thousandth part of an inch. It makes one's hand ache to write these figures and who can tell what worlds within worlds may not be discovered with such an instrument as this?

The store -keeper refused to let one o, unless he received a re uisition, What a Woman Did. During the Crimen War, it required much suffering to convince conservative English- men that the routine way of doing things ie not always the best. Steamer -loads of troops were sent from England to Malta, the first rendezvous. The voyage was made in seven or eight days, yet each steamer carried an allowance of eight weeks' supply of hospital stores. The explanationof the fact brought out the castiron routine of the service. In the days of sailing vessels it took eight weeks for a transport to sail from England to Malta, and the old routine could not be departed from. Some of thegeneral officers had been train- ed for years in the martinet school of discip- line. The Crimean summer is intensely hot and its winter is excessively cold. The army regulations forced the men to wear the leath- er stock, ho :natter how blazing the sun, and to shave even when the winter's wind was bitterly cold. Not until a year of suffering had been en- dured were the men allowed to leave off the terrible stocks, or to seek the protection of a full beard. " Where there is much hair," said one general, "there is dirt, and where there is dirt there will be disease," and he compelled his men to shave when they were freezing. In the midst of the terrible sufferings, when the men were dying from cholera and wanted the necessaries oflife, a general issued an order directing cavlary officers to lay in a stock of yellow ochre and pipe clay, for the use of the men in rubbing up their uniforms and accoutrements. When Florence Nightingale began her hospital work she was asked to walk in the routine paths. At the first step she took outside, she was stopped by a network of "red tape." She cut the "tape" at once and walked where she would. A few weeks before she arrived, a surgeon doors. Where the Diffioulty Lay. A farmer, hearing that money was cheap in the city, came to see about it. He enter- ed a bank, called for the cashier and said : " Mr. CaShier, is it true that money is abun- dant and cheap ?" The cashier answered in the affirmative. "Can I get some?" queried the countryman. " Certainly," replied the moneyed man. " Well, just lend me a hun- dred dollars for six months." The cashier said : "You can have the money, we have plenty of it, but it is necessary for us to have collateral." The farmer winced and responded : "Collateral 1 What's that ?" The matter was explained. Then the plant- er of the soil, illuminated on the subject of political economy, with a broad grin, rejoin- ed : " Ah, I see how it is, Mr. Cashier. Mo- ney is plentiful and not high, but it is this coactterca that is scarce and hard to get." Of Home Development, "When you have a cold spell," said a Manitoba man to a Torontonian, with a slight tinge of sarcasm, "yuu say it comes from Manitoba, and when you have a hot spell it comes from Manitoba.
