SCARLET FEvEa.-A writer in Good Health
gives some valuable hints for the treatment
of this disease, which is making such ravages
among children. He says: "Undress the
child and bring it to bed at the very first
signs of sickness. If it has fever, give it
nothing but sourish lemonade, with some
gum-arabic Dissolved in it; then cover its abdo-
men with dry flannel. Take well-folded
sheet end dip it in hot water; wiring it dry,
and cut this over the flannel on the child s
abdomen. Then cover the whole and wait.
The hot cloth will require repeated heat. Ac-
coriing to the severity of the case and its
stage of progress, perspiration will commence
in the child in from ten minutes to two hours.
The child is then saved, and it's recovery will
be as steady as .he growth of greenhouse
plant. As the inclination for food returns,
help the bowels by injections of warm water,
oil, and little CASTLE soap. These directions
are for the early symptom Of the disease. II
the child has effusions of the heart or brain,
these will not save it, but if these remedies
are applied in due time, not one in hun
dred children will die of scarlet fever" These
directions are Sc simple that every one can
follow them; and we would add to these the
application of coat of hogs lard over the
whole bcdy. We know this to be excellent
from practical experience, and believe that il
these remedies were applied in due season,
the deaths from scarlet fever would be few.

Train says there are now 2,400 different
sects in Christendom and that they get up q
new sect on every occasion. In one church
they told about John Rogers with nine small
children and one at the breast. Laughter. |
The deacon said that made ten, and the min
lister said it made but nine and SO they split

A party Of Americans at Zurich, Switzer-
land, having become preiudiced against the
country for some reason, determined to wreak
q horrible vengeance on the unoffending
Swiss. So they organized among themselves
q match game. The match excited great iu-
terest among the natives, and our country
men retired over the Alps, their faces lighted
with a glimmer of sardonic satisfaction.
Their malicious revenge has worked, and
now poor Switzerland is cursed and inundat-
