'Children, it healthy, aro active, not still; Damp shoots and damp clothes will both make you ill, Eat ale w19, and always chew your fool well ; Freshen the air in the house where you dwell. *Garments inust never be made to be tight; names will be healthy if airy and light. yif you wish to be well, as you do, I've no doubt, ,Inst open the windows before you go out. 'Keep yoar rooms always tidy and clean; jet dust on the furniture never be seen. Much illness is caused by the want of pure air; Now to open your windows be ever your care. Old rags and old rubbish should never be kept; People should see that their floors are well swept. quick movements in children are healthy and light; Remember the young cannot thrive without light, ,see that the cistern is clean to the brim ; Take care that your dress is all tidy and trim. arse your nose to find if there be a bad drain ; Very sa.ti are the fevers that come in its train.

The city barbers are feeling the depression and in many shops there are more than one vacant chair. The barbers work hard for their money and they are entitled to every •eentithey earn. But they do not always get it. Of course the regular customer pays—sooner or later. Some of them later, but the barber doesn't mind that. The fra- grance of the magnificent Havanas smoked by the man who gets credit compensates the barber for waiting for his dimes. Several tonsorial artists got together this forenoon in one of the leading shops. They talked .of pugilism, cock fighting, dancing, politics, the grip, the Prison Gate Mission and a hundred other topics. Likewise they dis- .onssed the deadliest foe, the beat of the barber shop. • One of the artists caught sight of something passing. He jumped up and called out, "There he goes now, boys, that cock-eyed fellow who stood me off for a shave and hair -cut on the Saturday night of the &bison elecSjon excitement.' , The others arose and took mental notes 'Ofthe beat. Some of them identified him as hav- ing served themselves in a similar fashion. "Talking of beating," remarked George, "1 will never fort a customer I waited on in Hank uval's ishop, on John street, full seventeen years ago. He was a la -la. That fellow came into the shop about 11,30 a. in. with more airs than Prince George. He wanted everything on the bill of fare, and I set to work to fill his order. I cut his hair, I shaved him, I shampooed him, I dyed his whiskers, waxed his Imperial, brushed his clothes and turned him out a new man—outwardly. But hie • heart was bad. During the sitting he was one of the most ,particular roosters I • ever served. He snubbed me because I let a drop of dye on • his skin, insinuated that I was an ay; ,prentice at the art of cutting hair, threatened to tell the boss because I put the lather brush too close to his mouth, and made me so nervous that I almost accident- .allyout his weasand. I'm sorry Ididn't now. And what do you think? •When he was going out he said, "1 have Piet sold a lot ,of grain to Morgan Bros., and he will pay me presently. When I' get the money I will return and settle." The amount was $1. I saw my customer enter the Morgans' door. That Was the last of him. Mr. Morgan told me a few'minutes after that a gentle- man had entered at the front and gone out ,of the side towards Main street. Then ,others of the barbers told their woes as they toasted their toes. Honestly speaking, it's a mean thing to bilk the barber. Political Scheme.

Great Variety or Vegetables—Vnialleilanda Dainties and other Stair unpalatable to Canadians. A Chinese dinner begins, as we WOUld think, at the wrong end Ansa, At the first course we were served with tea in dainty little China cups. The Second course consisted of email dishes of watermelon seeds. These are a favorite delicacy among the Chinese. Next came sliced oranges, served in individual dishes. The oranges were small and very sweet and juicy. The fourth course was the dinner proper and •contained the substantials. Rice was the principal viand and was served in a large centre dish, each person being given a bowl. Thorp were several smaller dishes of different' kinds of meats and vegetables to eat with the rice, such as duck meat, pork, mutton and curry, bean curd, stringed cocoanut? etc. This course completed our dinner, since we did not partake of the rice wine with which the Chinese frequently end their meals. Rice is the Chinaman's staff of life and forms the principal article of diet through- out the country.,,It is cooked by steaming in a basket or sieve suspended over a shallow iron kettle partly filled with water. The other articles of food are cooked in the same way and at the same time, as many as four or five steamers being fitted nicely over each other and coverer' to keep in the steam, which the water below supplies to all at once. Baked bread is not used ; neither is milk, butter or cheese. At first it seemed strange to me to sit down to a • meal at which these familiar dishes were lacking. Perhaps the greatest variety in the Chinese bill -of -fare is found in the vege- tables, and certainly much of their agricul- ture consists in raising them. Bean curd or bean jam, such as we had at the hotel din- ner, is made by boiling or gritiding black beans and mixing the fieur with water, turrnerie and other ingredients. There are twenty or more kinds of beans and peas raised in China and they are prepared for •food ha many different WayS. Cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, cress, colewort, • lettuce, sow thistle, spinach, celery, dande- lion suceory, sweet basil, ginger, mustard, radishes, artemisio, umaranthus, tame, pig weed, burslaue, shepherds' purse, clover, garlics, leeks, onions, scallions, ailantus and chives are swine of the principal greens, many of them decidedly odoriferous during cooking and after eating. Carrots, gourds, squashes, cucumbers, watermelons, toma- • toes, turnips, radishes, brinjals, pumpkins and okras may be named as most common among the score or more garden vegetables. Sweet . potatoes are very plentiful. The Irish potato has been grown for a good many years, but has not wine into general use among the people. Fruits of most varieties are abundant all the year, oranges being the most common. • The few 'nappies and kittens that are sold for the table are fed on a diet of rice before- hand. Rats may be eaten in some few cases; in fact I believp I saw a string of dried rate hanging in a market in Canton, but they are neither common nor cheap, and ought not to be considered a distinctive part of Chinese diet any more than frogs' • legs and snails should be of American diet. Birdsnest soup is eaten occasionally by those who can afford it. It is very expen- sive, costing a dollar an ounce I was for- tunate enough to taste some once, and thought it the most delicious soup I had ever eaten. Sharks' fins are also eaten now and then by epicures. At frequent intervals alongthe streets in the city there are what might be called restaurants right out into the streets. The keeper may be seen squatted on the stone pavement on a low stool. He has a little earthen furnace, or "fungelow," on which he cooks various kinds of food. On a low counter by his side are trays of food and in front of the counter are stools for cus- tomers. The Chinese gederally have only two meals a day, breakfast about 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning and dinner at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Husband and wife seldom eat together and never do so when strangers or guests are present. The females eat by themselves, after themen have finished. The rice is placed in a large dish in the centre of the table and each person helps himself, fill- ing his bowl by means of a ladle or large spoon. He then holds his bowl in his left hand near the chin and pushes the rice into hie mouth by means of two chop-sticks,both held between the thumb and the fore an.d middle fingers of the right hand: Knives and forks are not used at meals. Whenever a bit • of fish or vegetable is wanted, it is selected from the common dish and con- veyed to the mouth by the use of the chop- stinks—The Voice. • Got it Right at Inst. • Indianapolis Journal: In the beginning, Mr. Theophilus L.

I A DETROIT MIRACLE. A Great Triumph for, Canadian Medical Soienoe. Particulars of One of the iiioat EcittUrliable Cures on Record Described by the De twilit "News"—A. Story Werth a Careful Perusal. %anon, Mich., Jan. 29, 1892.--A case has just cotne to light here, the particidars of which are published in the Evening News, whieh will be read with considerable inter- est by all Canadians, as it records the re- markable achievement of a Canadian medi- cal discovery, which has already, in its own country, won great and enduring fame. At this added triumph there is no doubt the fellow countrymen of the proprietors will rejoice, as it sheds lustre on Canadian science. The story is told by the News as follows : The following paragraph, which appeared in the News a short time ago, furnished the basis of this information—a case that was so wonderfully remarkable that it demanded further explanation. It is of sufficient importance to the News' readers to report it to them fully. It was so important then that it attracted considerable attention at the time, The following is the paragraph in question: "0. B. Northrop, for 28 years one of the best known merchantson Woodward avenue, who was supposed to be dying last spring of locotnotor ataxia, or creeping paralysis, has secured a new lease of life and returned to work at his store. The disease has always been supposed to be incurable, but Mr. Northrop's condition is greatly improved, and it looks now as if the grave would De cheated of its prey." Since that time Mr. Northrop has steadily inaproved, not only in looks, but in condition, till he has regained his old- time strength. It had been hinted to the writer of this article; who was acquainted with Mr. Northrop, that this miraculous change had been wrought by a very simple remedy called Dr. Williams' Pink Pllls for Pale People. When asked about it Mr. Northrop fully verified the statement, and not only so, but he had taken pains to inform any one who was suffering in a similar manner when he heard of any such case. Mr. Northrop was enthuei- sate at the result in his owncase of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It was a remedy that he had heard of after he had tried everything he could hope to give him re- lief. He had been in the care of the best physicians who did allthey could to alleviate this terrible malady, but without any avail. He had given up hope, when a friend in Lockport, N. Y., wrote him of the case of a person there who had been cured in similar circumstances by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The person cured at Lockport had obtained his informa- tion respecting Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from an article published in the Hamilton, Ont. TIMES. The case was called "The Haniilton Miracle" and told the story of a mao in that city who, after almost in- credible suffering, was pronounced by the most eminent physicians to be incurable and permanently disabled. He had spent hundreds of dollars in all sorts of treatment and appliances only to be told in the end that there was no hope for him, and that cure was impossible. The person alluded to (Mr. John Marshall..r.f 25 Little William street, Hamilton, Ont.) was a member of the Royal Templars of 'Am- perance, and after having been pronounced permanently disabled and incurable by the physicians, was paid the $1,000 disability insurance .provided by the order for its members in such cases, for years Mr. Mar- shall had been utterly helpless and was barely able to drag himself around his house with the aid of crutches. His agonies were almost unbearable and life was a burden to him, when at last relief came. Some months after he had been paid the disability claim he heard of Dr. William's Pink Pills and was induced to try them. The result was miraculous; almost from the outset an im- provement was noticed, and in a few months the man whom medical experts had said was incurable, was goingabout this city healthier and stronger than before. Mr. Menthol' was so well known in Hamilton that all the city newspapers wrote up his wonderful recovery in detail, and it was thus as before stated, that Mr. Northrop came into possession of the information 'that led to his equally marvelous recovery One could scarcely conceive a case more hopeleris than that of Mr. Northrop. His injury came about in this way: One day • nearly four years ago he stumbled and fell the corn - plate length of a steep flight of stairs whicliwere at the rear of his store. His head and spine were severely injured. He was picked up and taken to his home. Creeping Paralysis very soon developed itself, and in spite of the most sternums efforts of friends and physicians, the terrible afflic- tion fastened itself upon him. For nearly two years he was perfectly helpless. He could do nothing to support his strength in the least effort. He had to be wheeled about in an invalid's chair. He was wake, pale and fast sinking when his timely infor- mation came that 'veritably snatched his life from the jaws of death. Those who at that time saw a feeble old man wheeled into his store on an invalid's chair would not recognize the man now, so great is the change that Di. Williams' Pink Pills have wrought. • When Mr. Northrop learned of the remedy that had cured Mr. Marshall in Hamilton and the person in Lockport he procured a supply of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through Messrs. Bassett & L'Hommedieu, 95 Woodward avenue, and from the outset ound an improvement. • He faithfully adhered to the use of the remedy until now he is completely restored. Mr. Northrop declares that there can be no doubt as to Pink Pills being the cause of his restoration to health, as all other remedies and medical treatment left him in a condition rapidly going from bad to worse, until at last it WM declared there was to hope for him, and he was pronounced incurable. • He was in this terrible condition when he began to use Dr. William's Pink Pills, and they have restored him to health. ' Mr. Northrop was asked what was claimed for this wonderful remedy,and replied that he understood the proprietors claim it to 10 5. blood builder and nerve restorer, supplying in a, condensed form ; the elements necessary to enrich the blood* restore shattered nerves and drive out die - ease. It is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, palpitation Of the heart. headache and all diseases peculiar to females, Ioss of appetite, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of meinory, and all diseases arising from overwork, mental worry, loss of vital force, ole.

Y., and the pills are sold in boxes (never in bulk by the hundred) at 50 cents a box, and may be had of all drug- gists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. from either above addressee - The price at which these pills are sold makes A course of treatment with them comparatively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. This case is oneof the most remarkable on record, and as it is one right here in Detreit and not a thousand miles Away, it ca,n be easily verified, Mr. Northrop is very well-known to the people of Detroit, and he says he is only too glad to testify of the marvelous good wrought in his case. He says he con- siders it his duty to help all who are simi- larly afflicted by any word he can any in be- half of the wonderful efficacy of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. If any of the Nem readers want any further information, we feel sure Mr. Northrop would willingly oblige them, as he has the writer, in relat- ing these acts to him. The Double Trolley in Cincinnati. • It having been decided by the Supreme Court of 'Ohio (though just the reverse by the some court in blew York) that the single trolley has a right to exist notwith- standing the damage it does to the vested rights of the telephone company, and it now being fully realised by all telephone managers that metallic circuits are the only practicable means of maintaining first-class service, it is extremely doubtful, were the problem to be solved over again with their present knowledge, if there would be any double trolley roads in Cincinnati to -day. Outside the street railroad foci—where the complications above referred to do not occur, the double trolley system works well and entirely satisfactorily. Looking at it from all sides, it is under these con- ditions the peer of the single trolley— possessing some advantages that the latter does not, but which are in turn offset by some disadvantages, but on the whole the two systems may be said to be about equal; butiin the city where there are many wires crossing and recrossing each other, the double trolley is at a very great dis- advantage, and no one can see such wir- ing as occurs at some points in Cincinnati without exclaiming "What a shame !"— Electricity.

Smith, an army contractor, was tried by court martial and found guilty of pocketing $20,000 or $25,000 out of a con- tract with the navy department for sup- plies. The report of the court martial was sent to President Lincoln. for his examina- tion, who returned itwith this characteristic endorsement: "'Whereas, Franklin W. Smith, has' transactions with the Unites States Navy Department to $1,250,000, and had a chance to steal $2504000; and whereas, he was charged with stealing $10,000, and from final revision of the testimony it is only claimed that he stole $100-1 don't believe he stole anything at all. " Therefore, the records of the court- martial, together with the finding and sen- tence, are disapproved, declared null and void, and the defendant is fully discharged. "'A. laiscorsr."

A Medical Man, in the "St. James's Gazette.” If you feel queer, heavy -headed, shivery and languid, with or without symptoms of a cold, go to bed and have a fire in your room. As to further proceedings, take a •mild aperient and confine your food to slops. If you feel very hot, a teaspoonful • of sweet spirits of nitre or of raindererus spirit will be useful. Uncomplicated in- fluenza, which is a simple fever, needs no other treatment. But if there is any diffi- culty of breathing or pain in the chest, indicating the existence of complications, send for the doctor, and meantime put on a large linseed poultice all round the chest—back and front. As for quinine, for which there was a great craze two years ago, take it if you. have great faith in it. Quinine is a good thing, and faith a better; but the drug will probably be of more use during convalescence. The main thing, however, is bed, and then the doctor. If he comes you will, of course, follow his directions; but if you manage without him, as you very likely mey in a. simple case, get up when you feel better—say, after one, two or three days; but stay in the house until you have recovered your strength, and when you do go out wrap up carefully and avoid fatigue. • at and drink what you please so long as 10 10 good and wholesome. It is impossible to say more than this use- fully, and I am aware of some unwisdom in saying so much. Mankind may be divided into those who take too much care of them- selves and those who take too little. The former will grasp at every excuse to jump into bed, and will experience the syrnptome of influenzaat least once a day; while th e latter will say, " It is only a feverish cold," and will go about their business when they have really got it. But, even at the risk of encouraging skirkers and valetudinarians, it is worth while to try and save °there from a very real danger; and therefore I repeat, Go to bed if you feel decidedly out of sorts. A feverish cold is not to be trifled with in an influenza year. Nor is there any economy in fighting it; the earlier you nurse it, the sooner you will get over it. In ordinary cases fairly strong people will find the foregoing advice quite sufficient. I have tried it on my own corpus in a, bad attack with excellent results. At least it is safe • and I would strongly warn people against either to powerful remedies which they may see recommended or to their own knowledge. And this warning applies particularly to the weakly and to those cases in which complications arise. All talk about " cures " and •infallable remedies" proceeds from ignorance or quackery, and embodies a very mischievous delusion, to which I have already referred. No treatment of a drastic kind can be uni- versally applieable to this or anyother dis- order, because different people are so differently affected that what suits one • case will not suit another. The Duke of Clarence and the Khedive died from nominally the same ill- ness—influenza followed by pneumonia: but the leading 'features of one case were high temperature, delirium, and collapse; while those of the other were pain, inflam- mation of the kidneys, and ureanctie poison. ing, How can there be a routine treatment in severe cases? The danger of relying od it ie shOW11 by the extremely unsatisfactory report on the Khedive's illness. One more point: how is influenza to be avoided? From the immense mass of obser- vations that have been collected it is clear that the disease is info:Alone, but only for- midably so where numbers of people are congregated together, as in the House of Oonunons, schools, workehops, factorieeand so en. The poison seems to be bred under these cireumstances in very large quantities or in a very vitnlent fortn. At ail tate, crowded photo are dangerous. Theraore, avoid thein if possible. Pot the rest "take care of yourself," live wholetiomely, avoid fatigue, eold) and wet. Itere again the shirker will see his chance, hitt that cannot be helped.

Owing to the grip, the number of deatha has been greater than usual this winter, and it is noticeable that many persons well. advanced in years haye succumbed to the epidemic. Naturally these middle-aged. and old people had many friends, who desired to show respect to their memory by attending the funerals, Fashion has pre- scribed that ladies and girls shall not go to the cemetery, and it is well that it should., be so, for the more delicate half of the population thereby avoid dangerous ex- posure. Even strong men have reason to ear the effects of a visit to the cemetery in winter weather, and many compromise& between duty and precaution by only going part way with funeral processional. Our London namesake properly observes that true respect for the dead can never re- quire the sacrifice of the living. The learnt poignant sorrow can never justify man or woman in flagrant indifference to their own health. No one would dispute these propo- sitions in the abstract. In our funeral ob- servances we habitually set them at naught. But surely it is possible to bring our observ- ances into something like harmony with reason, prudence, and good sense. If our climate were arctic no one would, expect the mourners at a funeral to expose themselves to frostbite by standing bareheaded at it the . grave. If were tropical the risk of sun- stroke would equally have to be avoided. As a matter of fact, our climate fluctuates between these two extremes, and its very variability renders most of us liable to riska of exposure on either hand which a raoe more accustomed to either extreme of temperature , might encounter witk comparative impunity. Considerations, such as these, rather than con- ventional sentiments and traditional ob- servances, ought to be paramount in the conduct of our funerals. To omit that part of the ceremony which takes place at the grave is manifestly impossible. Burial ia the ground necessarily involves some ex- posure of the mourners to the weather. But it might well be considered whether the ceremony at the grave could not be ehort- ened with due regard to the solemnity of the rite and the feelings of the mourners; and it ought to be clearly understood that, some amount of exposure being ' inevitable, 10 18 the positive duty of mourners to use alt reasonable and seemly means of protecting themselves against its consequences. To stand bareheaded in a cutting wind and a. frosty atmosphere is in many cases almost tantamount to deliberate suicide. We have already greatly simplified our inner,' arrangements and got rid of most of those conventional trappings of woe which our forefathers so long endured. It is time to rationalize them as well. Look Out for Her. Kate the Kisser is on her way to Ham- burg from San Francisco. She is a hand, some German girl who is returning to the Fatherland and it seems to be her particu- • lar desire to kiss all the Western Union telegraph operators and railroad men eta route. Kate—her full name is Katinka, Steen—declines to make a statement as to why she discriminates against other mortals. The boys have telegraphed ahead of the train, and at every station the windows and doors of the telegraph offices are left open to give the fair and saucy Kate a good oppor- tunity to hasten the work before her.
