Medical Blunders,

From tina period when surgeons applied their
salves to weapons instead of wounds TO the present
wide-awake age, the medical profession has often
unwitingly taken side with Disease in its conflicts
with the human system. Even yet, in spite of the
teachings of centuries of experience, some physi-
Clans believe in del letting their patients, already
seriously exhausted by sickness, with powerful
evacuants, emetics salivants cautharidal plasters
or the lancet But, provdentially, public intelli-
gence is ahead of these medical fossils who belong
Of right to the of The Crusadesi That powerful
ally Of nature in its warfare with the causes Of sick
ness, Hostetters Stomach Biters, has opened the
eyes of the masses to the paramount importance of
increasing the vital strength of the body when
menaced by disease. They understand that when
the atmospheric conditions are adverse to health
as, for example, in damp, chilly or severely cold
wearher-it is wise to reinforce the system with a
wholesome tonic and stinuant, and thus enable it
to combat and repel the depressing influence Of an
incement temperature. If the constitutional and
animal powers were always thus recruited in the
presence of danger, the mortality from consump-
ton, bronchitis, chronic rheumatism, &C., would
be much less than it now is. The causes which
produce groups, colds, quinsey, dipthera and ca
tarrh seldom affect strong and active vital system
and of all vtalizing preparations, Hosteter's Bit
tiers has proved the most efficient 1t is not claimed

Self.Supporting Wives.
Col. Higginson in the Woman's journal.

Col. Hlgglnson in the Womans journal
For young married women to under.
take to contribute to the family income
is in most cases utterly undesirable, and
is asking of themselves great deal too
much. And this is not because they
are to be encouraged in Incidence, but
because they already, in normal con-
dition of things, have their hands full.
AS, on this point, | may differ from
some of my associates, let me explain
precisely what l mean. AS | write

house. two paper hangers. a man and
his wife, each fortytive or fifty years of
age. Their children are grown up and
some of them married they have a
daughter at home who is able to do the
housework and leave the mother free.
the labors of the household so .judicious
as this; the married pair work together
during the day and go home together
to their evening rest. Ahappier couple
| never saw it is a delight to see them
cheerfully at work together, cutting,
pasting, hanging their life seems like u
prolonged industrial picnic, and if |
had the luck to own as many palaces as
an English duke, | should keep them
permanently occupied in putting fresh
papers on the walls. But the merit of
this employment for the woman is, that
it interferes with no other duty. Were
she young woman with little children,
and obliged by her paper-hanging to
neglect them, or to leave them at a
"day nursery" or to overwork herself
by combining all her duties, then the
sight Of her would be very sad. So
sacred a thing does motherhood seem
to me, so paramount and absorbing the
duty of mother to her child, that in
true state of society l think she should
be utterly free from all other duties
even, if possible, from the ordinary
cares of housekeeping. If she has
spare health and strength to do these
other things as pleasures, very well but
she should be relieved from them, as
duties. And as to selfsupport, | can
hardly conceive of an instance where 1t
can be to the mother of young children
anything but a calamity.

A Mathematical CObbler.

The following curious history, of
mental prodigy is extracted from an
article in the New York Euening Post:
Another case was that of cobbler,
living in London, England, who worked
at his trade from morning till night.
He was man of very inferior powers
in all respects but one-in resolving
problems in figures he was unrivalled.
He made his talent of use to himself
by exacting small charge for exhibit
ing it, keeping in his stall black board
and piece of chalk. Any one who
paid him three pence might give him
any problem in figures he chose. The
cobbler would take the chalk and write
down the solution on the instant. For
shilling he would nswer questions
for an hour. He would multiply long
rows of figures by each other apparently
without moments reflection, dealing
as rapidly and unerringly with fractions
and fractions of fractions as with in
tegers, and would set down the equiva-
lent in a simple fraction of any number
of compound ones the moment he had
read them. Being asked how many
lis. 73d. there were in 9lO,9S7,353, he
replied Immediately, "Well, there will
be remainder-so much (writing down
the figures), and hems the figures for
answer" (jotting them down as fast as
his fingers could novel.
Not the least curious feature in the
cobbler's lease was the fact that he
seemed to have no ineligible notion Of
the means by which he produced his
results; at any rate, if he had, he was
quite unable to give any explanation of
them. He was invited to give lecture
at mechanics institute on mental
arithmetic, and proud enough he was
to accept the invitation. He was fitted
up in decent, second hand apparel, and
he went with his long blackboard and
chalks. Most astonis hing things he
certainly did in the calculating way, de-
tanning the audience to late hour, as
he performed one marvel after another.
But neither by close attention or exact
ing questions could there be gained the
least inkling of the processes that were
passing so rapidly in his mind. He had
no information to give. 1t was utterly
impossible for him to teach others what
was as easy to himself as breathing.
His replies to questions put not only
betrayed great irritation, but were
vague, confused, and contradictory.

AnpcdOte of Handel.

Handel was one of the most humor
Gus of mortals, and at the same time
one of the most irritable. His best
jokes were perpetrated frequently dur
ing his most violent bursts of passion.
Having occasion to bring out one of
his oratorios in a provincial town of
England, he began to look about for
such material to complete his orchestra
One and another was recommended, as
usual, as being splendid singer, great
player, and SO on. After while such
as were collectable were gathered to-
gether in a room, and after prelimina-
ries, Handel made his appearance, puff
ing, both arms full of manuscripts.
Gentlemen" quoth he. "you all read
manuscripts "Yes, yes" responded
from all parts of the room. "We play
in church," added an old man behind a
violoncello. every well, blay dis" said
Handel, distributing the parts.
This done, and few explanations de-
livered, Handel retired to distant part
of the room, to enjoy the effect. The
stumbling, fumbllng and blundering
that ensued is said to be indescribable.
Handel's sensitive ear and impetuous
spirit could not long brook the insult,
and clapping his hands to his ears, he
ran to the old gentleman of the violon-
cello, and shaking his fist furiously at
the terrified man and the instrument,
said, " You blay in de church very
well-you may blay in de church-for
we read, the Lord is long.suffering, of
great kindness, forgiving iniquity, trans
gression and sin; you shall blay in de
church, but you shall not blay for me u
and snatching together his manuscript,
he rushed out of the room, leaving his
astonished performers to draw their own
conclusions. t,. ..,... ....t'..
