Washington News.

The negotiations between the United States
and Spain with regard 10 questions growing
out OF the opture Of the virginius, were
brought TO q conclusion In Washington or the
1oth ult, Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo
having agreed upon and signed the protocol.
which the latter soon after telegraphed to his
Government The terms are substantially as

Salt Rheum.

THE term salt rheum has been applied
to SO many different skin eruptions and
diseases, that il is hardly used in medical
literature at all. If person has any skin
disease op any part Of the body for any
considerable time, and especially if 1t be
on the hands, it is sure to be characterized
as salt rheum, whatever may be the cause
or nature.
The name is applied more often, how
ever, to a malady known to science as
ecsenaL; this occurs in variety of forms,
so that If salt rheum be taken to mean
this, it might be properly applied to a
number of quite different appearances.
Eczema is caused by many things. Any
irritation OF the skin may induce 1t, as
irritating chemicals, hot air too long ap-
piled, the direct rays of the sun, hot or
cold water too long kept in contact with
the body, as we see in the hands of wash
women and on the bodies of those who
battle too long or too often; or any irritat-
ing substance in contact with the body,
whatever its nature, may bring it on.
Catching cold, slight fever for q day or
two, fit Of indigestion have frequently
induced the disorder. The eruption on
the legs and thighs is usually due to both
the heat and irritation Of the clothing.
Some people seem to be constitutionally
pre-disposed to 1t, and it will appear on
certain spot, and remain in q chronic
state for weeks and years, despite most of
the treatment that may be brought against
1t. Yet in many of these cases, there is
kept up continuous irritation of the
diseased spot, the eruption vanishing as
soon as the irritation il removed.
Infants often have eczema on the head

on the edge Of hill, rather close to the
street, where Il commands fine view to
the west and north, and Is just the sort of
house TO cause q stranger to stop and In
quire: "Who lives in that queer-looking
houseY" Although tie avenue runs east
and west, the house, instead of facing the
street, faces east. On the north end Is q
small building, near the street, which con-
tains the kitchen and servants rooms,
separate from the main building, while
Immediately adjoining Is large dining
room, 1880, having but little light, SO that
when used II will be necessary to light
the gas. The parlor is where the kitchen
would be located In any other house,
while Marks own room, where most OF
his time will be spent, is At the top of the
house, and, in order to Offset the want OF
light In the dining-r0om, this room Is al
most entirely glass. Take 1t all in all, 1t
is the queerest piece of architecture one
has ever seen, but with one redeeming
feature, that Is, open fire-places all over
the house, and good, generous-sized ones.

The meetings at the Baptist church
closed Wednesday evening. this being
the fifth week. Taking all things into
consideration, this revival has no par.

in scoffcrs and skeptics to IN extent that
almost made ministers tremble. And
vet many of these have been. converted,
whilst others who have not taken the
step have become silenced and ac-
knowledge the potency Of the truth.
Another curious feature IS that many rep
r~esentative men have taken the stand
with the religionists, and all Of them,
or nearly so, are the heads of families.
