tails that shock the senses and cuId1e one's

/ The following precautionary item tells sad
etory Of experience, &Gd ne may take the lesson
without shudder:
"An agricultural gentleman Of Denver, Col,
who, despite his Wife's warnings, persisted IN

II We must have itemB OF scandal published,

with calculating as follows;

to climax il this bit Of romance:
ga mother -in-law in Lansingburg, New York,
is trying to rid her eyes Of q quantity Of red
pepper which, in Some strange way or other,
came through the key-hole Of her daughter-in-
laws room. -"
Thus We see how the most serious and painful
events may be made to present a surface Of
comicality, and il the lesson is conveyed all is
gained. The man who invented asugsr-coating
for nauseous pills did q humane thing.

A writer in the The British Medical journal
states that in cases Of whooping g-cough in the
last stage-that is after the third Week-he haa
put into gallon Of boiling water IN an open pan,
and the steam kept up by means Of half brick
made red hot throughout and put into the boil
ing water containing the ammonia, the pan
being p1aced in the centre Of q room into which
the patients were brought as the arnmoaiated
steam YVES passing of. This method, he eays,
was used In the evening, just before bedtime;
and it proved 80 efhcacious in abating the spas-
modic malady, as to establish, beyond any doubt,
the great value Of this mode Of inhaling ammo
