Milk as Medicine.

The London Milk Jou,aal says, on the
authority of DIR. Benjamin Clarke, that
in the East Indies warm milk is used to
a great extent as q specific for diarrhea,
stomachache, incipient cholera, and
dyssntery. The milk should never be
boiled, but only heated sufficiently to
be agreeably vain, not too hot to
drink. Milk which has been boiled is
unfit for use. This writer gives several
instances to show the value Of this sub
stance in arresting this disease, among
which is the following: at has never
failed in curing in six or twelve hours,
and have tried it, I should think, fifty
times. I have also given it to q dying
man who had been subject to dysentery
eight months, 1atterly accompanied by
one continual diarrhea, and it acted on
him like charm. In two days his di-
arrhea was gone, in three weeks he be-
came hale, fat man, and now nothing
that may hereafter occur will ever shake
his faith in hot milk" A writer also
communicates to the Medical Times
and Gazette a statement of the value
of milk in twenty-six cases of typhoid
fever, in every one of which its great
value was apparent. It checks diarrhea,
and no1rishes and cools the body.
People suffering from disease require
food quite as much as those in health,
and much mere 80 in certain diseases
where there is rapid waste of the sys-
tenn. Frequently all ordinary food in
certain diseases is rejected by the
stomach, and even loathed by the pa
tient, but nature, ever benefcent, has
furnished food that in all diseases is
benefcial-in some directly curative.
Such food is milk. The writer in the
journal last quoted, DR.. Alexander
Yale, after giving particular observa-
tions upon the points above mentioned,
viz: it's action in checking diarrh@a,
it's nourishing properties, and its action
in cooling the body, says "We believe
that milk nourishes in fever, promotes
sleep, wards off delirium, soothes the
intestines, and, in fine, is the sine qua
non in typhoid fever" We have also
lately tested the value of milk in scar
let fever, and learn that it is now rec
commended by the medical faculty in all
cases of this often very distressing
children's disease. Give all the milk
the patient will take, even during the
period of greatest fever ; it keeps up
the strength Of the patient, acts well
upon the stomach, and is in every way a
blessed thing in this sickness.

The Local Editor.

The following is borrowed, and it is
the best we ever had local editor lend
us:-"H man buys new buggy, or if
his COW can bawl three times without
winking, the local is expected to pro-
claim it with grand flourish. If he
starts two-penny business, his first
thought is to bribe the local with five
cent cigar to write FIVE dollar puff.
Indeed, he thinks it is mission of the
local to make his fortune for him by
free blowing He will take the local
to one side and point out the superior
qualities of rat terrier dog, and coolly
ask him to give him a hoist He don't
care anything about it, only Spriggins
has dog which he thinks is buster,
and some of 'em wanted his put in just
to take the conceit out of Spriggins.
Everybody wants to be put in, but no
one says, Here, local, put yourself in
side of this new suit of clothes, or throw
yourself outside this oyster stew, or
stuff this watch into your pocket Oh,
no, of course not that would cost some
thing. The shoe is on the other foot,
you see.
The local is supposed to know every
thing about other peoples business, and
is expected to show up all the actors in
every family broil in town. If the vile
tongue of scandal finds a victim, people
wonder why he don't run about with
his note book and gather up the vitu-
perative bits of SANDER for his paper. If
he steps into billiard hall he is re-
quested to make note of the astonish-
ing fact that Bill Tompkins has made q
run of eleven points. When the min
strel troupe arrives in town the agent
Immediately rushes into the printing
Office, and calling for the local he slips
three or four tickets in his hand, and
whispers, "Draw us big house! Put
it in strong!" and patting him patroniz-
ingly on the shoulder the agent admits
the inferiority of the troupe, but we are
not to 1et on 1t is no sin for the local
to lie. To please the lecturer the local
is forced to sit two mortal hours to hear
him through an insipid discourse, so
that he can write him up And so it
goes. All are anxious to appear favor
ably in print, but few are willing to pay
for itl The locals time is worth moth
ing, but to bother his head writing puffs
for ambitious persons. 1t doesn't cost
him anything to live. He never eats,
drinks or travels, and money is of no
use to him. Put it in! Put it in"

Gold In New HAMPSHIRE.

The Boston Transcript remarks that
it is some seven or eight years sincethe
discovery of gold-bearing quartz in
Lisbon, which, at the time and for a
year or two subsequent, caused consid-
cradle excitement among the inhabit-
ants of the section of country near by,
and brought to the town many persons
of speculative tendencies and others
who really meant business. The rock
from the different quartz veins was
thoroughly tested by fire assay, and
found to be gold, bearing from $40 to
$3.50 to the ton of ore company was
formed, shafts sunk in two places, two
quartz-mills erected and furnished with
the most approved machinery, and the
business of gold-mining was begun in
earnest. But owing to the existence of
the baser metals in the ore, the gold
salvage was less than the expense of
mining. For year or two new corners,
with new ideas, made trials OF the rock,
all being satisfied from the tests that
sufficient gold existed to pay q hand
some profit to the successful operator.
The matter finally became SO discour-
aging, from failures in every instance,
that the operations were abandoned and
the works have lain idle till this sum-
mer, when the work has been started
anew by a party from Philadelphia, who
has for a certainty discovered the
method of working necessary for this
particular rock. The recent operations
have been most successful, the ore
yielding $S5 per ton, and profit of
more than $50 per ton to the oper-

The Beggars' Bridge,

Several centuries ago, a certain Grand
Duke of Florence built bridge with
out expense to the State. He issued a
proclamation that every beggar who
would appear at the grand plaza at a
certain designated time, should be pro-
yided with new suit of clothes free of
cost. At the appointed hour the beg
gars of the city assembled, whereupon
the officers caused each avenue of the
public square to be closed, and then
compelled the beggars to strip off their
old clothes, and gave to each one, ac-
cordlng to promise, new suit. In the
old clothes enough money was found
concealed to build a beautiful bridge
over the Arno, which is still known BY
the name of the Beggars' Bridge.

Are ladies aware that the waterfall
and chignon are borrowed from the
lowest order of women in Japan, who
always have weakness for them? In
the widest portions of Africa, as the
drawings made by travellers invariably
show, chignons are worn, and the more
dangerously wild the women, the great
er the chignon. In japan, also, it has
been observed, the less a woman has in
side her her head, the more she man
ages to arrange outside OF it.

How They Make a Cannon.

The Springfield Union says: "The
preparations for making the new Hitch
cock gun at the. water shops are going
on as rapidly as could be expected. The
big shaft, which is being sunk in the
northeast corner of the old drop-ham-
mer room, has reached thirty-seven feet
in depth, and will be completed next
week. For a while the drilling and
blasting went along rapidly, owing to
the softness of the rock and the absence
of the water but when about twenty
feet below the surface the water began
to pour in, and little further down
the rock changedto hard, grayish:red,
conglomerate sandstone, exceedingly
difficult to work. Two small pumps
were put in to remove water, and
although they are run seven hours each
night, they prove incapable of carrying
off the water as fast as necessary, and
their place will be supplied with a ro-
tary pump, with capacity OF two hun
dred and fifty gallons per minute. AS
the shaft has to be blasted fifteen feet
in diameter in the clear, the progress is
necessarily quite slow, and eight men
have been employed at the work for
nearly three months. The drilling is
all done by hand, the holes being about
two feet deep. The drilling is kept up
from bell-time in the morning till noon,
when five blasts of one and a half
pounds of powder each are let of, one
after the other, and another series OF
blasts are fired at four in the afternoon.
Although the firing is in a hole nearly
forty feet deep, there would be consid-
erable danger to passers-by and the
workmen from flying stones, were it
not guarded against by heavy cover
ing Of brush, which is placed oyerevery
drill-hole before firing. This shaft is
to contain the big hydraulic press
which forms the anvil on which the gun
will be forged. e., the steel rings of
which it is composed. will be welded
together by the blows from the ten-ton
steam hammer overhead. AS each
eight-inch ring is added to the gun,
eight inches of water will be let out of
the press, and the gun will, of course,
drop just that distance into the shaft
Then, when the forging is completed,
and the 80,000-pound monster is ready
for trimming and boring. it will be
tipped over little to one side, to avoid
hitting the furnace and machinery at
the top of the shaft, and the water will
be let into the press, bringing the gun
to the surface.

The departure from England of the
Brazilian cable expedition is anticipated
in the most recent London newspapers.
Double interest is attached to the
event, following as it does so soon after
the start of the fourth Atlantic cable
squadron. The cable in question will
be laid along the coast of South America,
from Para to Pernambuco, and will
form part of an extensive line of COM
munication with the Brazils. Other
sections will be laid in due course from
Pernambuco to Rio Grande, with a
station at Bahia, and from Para to st.
Thomas in the West Indies.
