Perils of Overfeeding.
Exoeooivo eatieg le sob the moat otriking
or the moat widely prevalent 1au11 of the
proaenb generation. Oa the contrary,
moderation, and even semetimesundee lima•
ballon in dict be the prevailing fashion,
There le still, however, a considerable num.
bur of peraono who habitually overeat at
meals, and to such a few phyolologioal hints
may nob bewithouttheir value, Dr. Rendon
has been ab the paint: to make Nome careful
invootigations on the subject, and his reeetto
have recently boon published. A000rding to
this observer, a not) uncommon Dona cc Icanoe
of overfeeding. la tho development of a serial
of symptoms to many reepeato similar to
th000 of Typhoid fever. The temperature
rises, there is a feeling of serious illness,
the ;loop ie disturbed, the brain is inoapuoi•
toted, and in aovore oases the disability le
complete. The oauwe cf these symptom; is
inoufifolenb elimination and en alteration in
the blood brought about by the impregnation
of the organism with =cumulated waste
preclude. In addition to thele typhoid
symptoms thromboses ocour in the vaunts,
and what hs known as opontatteous gangrene,
or mortification of parte without any obvious
or suffiaieub cause. Now, these aro condi•
tions of veru marked danger, particularly
the thromboeio and the epontaneoue gan•
grene, There le danger to life here.
The obvious remedy for au= a aerie's of
evils is, of °ourne, rest for the overworked
digesting and eliminating organa. both the
quantity and the quality of the food must be
ao changed as to admit of the performance of
easy digestion, perfect assimilation and ade-
quate elimination of weeto. Lemonades and
lemon juice ere said to be of great service in
dininishiug the extreme craving for food ;
end this, from ;limited txperienoe, we can,
to Soho extent, confirm. Milk, alto, in
moderato quantities is useful, and in certain
oases skim milk would probably be best, It
is not always found that the resting of the
organa is aefllcient. The fever may persist
for a long time, and with it the feeling
of very decided Ulnae. Drugs of different
kinds are then urgently demanded, and a
competent physician should be consulted
without delay.
A Daoter s "Don'ts."
Don's give a child any sweets, except non
lasses candy or chocolate caramels, and these
only very rarely.
Don't permit a child under 5 to remain out
of bed after S p. m„ oven if you have to fore•
go your most: sacred social duties or mise a
moat brilliant fiat night at the theatre.
Don't conclude that a ohild needs food each
time it manifests hunger. Try to assuage
thirab ty several teaspoonaful of boiled and
cooled water.
Don't hold a child in convulsions in your
arms, bub strip it quickly and Immerse it in
a hot bath, to which a tablespoon of mustard
has been added.
Don't allow a patient with colic to suffer
until the pbyeieian arrives ; give largo in -
j actions (two quarts of warns water with ten
drops—adult dose —of tincture of opium)
llan't seek relief for burns by the use of
cold water ; if nothing oleo ie obtainable use
warm water ; better still, keep the part wet
with sweet oil.
Don't loge your head when with oases of
bleeding from the lunge; they very rarely
prove immediately fatal. Prop the patient
up in bed and give him small pieces of fie
to swallow and a quarter cf a teaspoonful of
tincture of ergot every
hour, until
your
physician arrives.
Don't imagine that sunstroke (heat pros.
treetop), follows exclusively exposure to the
sun. The same may be produced by excels
sive heat even at night, especially when the
person is mach fatigued.
Don't eat pork, When it is absolutely
unavoidable to do en, it should be rendered
harmless by being exposed to strong heat
long enough to be converted into a deoided
gray oolor, oven to ate innermost part.
Don't drink green tea, and use bleak tea
moderately.
Don't allow your aervante to pub meat and
vegetables into the same compartment of
the refrigerator.
Don't wear high heels, women who wear
them publicly adverbise the fed that they
oeek or wish to maintain serious internal
troubles.

behavior, however, was so intolerable that
the old Kaiser withdrew from the festivities
on the plea of indisposition and refused to
see his Persian guest any more before hie do•
parture.
The whole burden of entertaining the
Oriental potentate fell onto the shoulders of
the Empresa Augusta, whose poetic hanker-
ings for the Orient, however, were subjected
to a meet severe shook, Thuo to thin day
she levee to relate in her shrill and high-
pitched voice how during the grand state

On hie arrival in Euglond he was quarter-
od at Buckingham Palace, and while in Lon
don he sorely tried the Prince of Wales'
temper by coolly planing his hand on the
bare shoulders of the Princess while talking
to her. Having been entertained by the
Doke of Sutherland at the tatter's magnifi•
cent country text ab Trentham, he coolly
cuggeeted to the Prince of Wales that it
would be in every way advisable to pub the
Duke to death, on the ground that he was
much too powerfuland wealthy for a subject.
Over $150,000 was required to render Buck•
inghamPaleoe habitable again after bis do-
parbure.
The furniture had all to be burned, while
nob only the silken panels, tapestries, oar-
pete and paper -hangings had to be thrown

from whom he had purchased presents for

but which he bad refused to pay for. At
Vienna he was quartered at the Chateau of
Luxemburg, uow t of Crown
he residence
Panama Stephanie, and before he left get
into serious trouble with raped to a young
member of the Austrian half world, whom
he had oubjeoted to the most grime brutality.
Hie presence at Vienna was indeed a more
trial to the courteous, chivalrous and refined
Emperor. The Persian monarch had during
the previous portion of his tour developed a
stroma taste for champagne, and was stag-
gering about in a maudlin ;tate during the
mojor portion of his stay in the Austrian
capital. Nothing was more curious than to
watch the Emperor present some diatin•
guished etateomen or ooldier to hie oriental
guest. The latter would gaze with bleary
eyes ab the personage bowing before him,
and then with a sheet, oantemptuoae laugh
and a twirl of his long mustache would
leave the unfortunate courtier standing there
in a state of mingled indignation and per•
plexity until the Emperor bad stopped up
and whispered a few comforting words in
his ear.
On the oocaoion of his wen= trip he is

among whom is a chaplain, whoee sole duty

suite, however, is a young boy of twelve,

is the direotor of the Corps of Royal Pages,
and one of hie titles is Az'zus Sultan, whioh,
being interpreted, means "Favorite of the

not a royal prince has over yet been allowed
to sit at the same gable as His Majesty, the
only exception to thio law of the Persians
being Goolamali Khan, who is oonotently
by his master's side, and who has more
servants to wait upon him than any Iwo of
the royal Ministers, A Persian official de•
glares that the explanation of tele extraer•
dinary treatment hi to be found in His Ma-
jesty's profound conviction that hie life is
inseparably and mysteriously bound up
with that of Goolamali Khan, and that wise
men have foretold that the Shah's death
will be preceded only a few days by that of his
young favorite, that the health and pron.
perity of the latter will Me= the health
and prosperity of the former, and that gen•
orally whatever belittle this little one will
also happen to hie royal protector. The
Shah's belief in thio propheoy has moulted
in the boy'; loading a life of Baso and lux-
ury unknown to tho most fortunate pour•
tiers in Teheran, Whatever the enplane,
tion, the faoto aro indisputable, and the
boy was seated on the knees of two mag -
ens— no more, no lore -and strutted abont

While a blackbird, high up on the arbutus

Gave baok my gay music with gushes of
glee,
When my Elleen's voice stole
From the thicket of holly,
And turned jueb the whole
Of our fluting to folly,
And softly along
Through the myrtle and heather
The maid and her song
Swept upon= together.
T'wae an old Irish tale, full of passionate
truce,
Of two faithtul levers long laid In the duet,
And her eyes, as she sang, looked eo far, far
away,
She went by me, nor knew she went by,
where I lay.
And myself and the grass,
And the deesby red daisies
Should let our dear pass,
Only whiep'ring her praises,
Till the lass and her lay
Through the myrtle and heat:ter

O'er the mountain together.

only the forerunner of the diffioultiee which
were syetemabically placed in their way.
The rabbit commission reported that M.
Pasteur's system was not dangerous, but
not eflieienb. They, however, refused to
allow a public tried to be made. Ex.
periments were made, proving that
chicken cholera would spread from

of M. Pasteur's vaaoine as a preventive
against the disease and recommended its
adoption and use. A number of the sheep
owners asked to have 130 000 sheep vaccinar

rabbit question. Public Miele were made in
