To Keep Cool.

An exchange, desiring to be funny
says: Never go in the sun; it heats
the blood. Food is fuel, and furnishes
heat eat no food. Clothes prevent the
escape of heat from the body; wear
none, or only a loose shirt and drawers.
Work heats the system; do nothing.
Sit in draft. Reading, talking, and
thinking generate heat; do neither.
Battle every hour OF the day, and take a
shower-bath between. Wear a cap
with ice in it. Sit with your feet in a
tub of ice-water. Call your wife or
daughters when you want anything it
is cool. operation. Drink iced tea,
lemonade, plain soda, and such have
cool stream running in all the while.
By observing these simple directions
one can get along without going away,
unless the effect sends him off.

Russian Horses.

An English writer says: A specially
of renown in Russia are the little
horses of the Mushik. They are hardy
in the first instance, as everything is in
Russia, and they are quick and strong.
Two of these little horses, hardly large
enough to be called ponies, will draw a
pillow all day with q pause at noon.
They are now largely exported (under
the name of Litthaurs) to Prussia, and
in some places have altogether dispos-
sessed the oxen of their old privileges.
I worked with them on one of the es-
tatss of Baron Pfuce, where they were
fed upon chaff of any description, even
of lupines, very successfully, eondi-
mented with some potato refuse from
the distillery. In harvest time, when
the little mice had to work like brewers
horses, I administered to them some
bran, and they grew fat even under SO
unfavorable circumstances. We soon
had some twenty more sent down, and
so we would spare them a little, and
send them into the inclosure with the
foals now and then. Two of them were
able to draw the Champion reaper all
day long, and got two pecks of oats
each as an encouragement. They, too,
laid on flesh during the time. | mean
to say they are the most useful, animals
for easy agriculture existing, as we
used to work them,

The "UnIoadedN Pistol Again.

Mrs. Margaret W. Smith, accom-
panied by her son, Sherman W. Smith,
left her residence in Boston for the pur-
pose of visiting her brother, a Mr..
Watson, in Washington street. Tt ap-
pears that Mr.. Watson had recently be.
gun business at the above place, and
after inspecting various articles in the
store the attention of the lady was
called by her brother to new sewing
machine. She procured a piece of cloth,
and soon was busily engaged in ope-
rating the machine, paying but little
attention to her son. In money drawer
under the counter was O loaded pistol,
and the lad soon found the weapon and
began amusing himself by attempting
to discarge it. His mother once or twice
ordered him to return the pistol to the
place from whence he took it, but the
boy paid no attention to her request,
and approaching her in playful man
ner pointed it at her head and snapped
cap into an unloaded chamber. The
child, who is only nine years old, then
said, "Why, it amt loaded, mother, "
and again took aim, and this time ex-
ploded a loaded chamber, the ball en-
tering the poor woman's left breast and
penetrating her heart. The then dying
woman looked at her child, and after
pronouncing the sentence, 81 did not
think that pistol was loaded" fell to
the floor and expired. The anguish OF
the boy on realizing that his disobe.
dience had deprived him of his dearest
friend on earth can better be imagined
than described. He threw himself or
the body of his mother, now cold il
death, and putting his arms around hel
neck kissed her, and in frantic tones
called upon her to look up and speak tt
her town boy" a fond epithet which
it is said, she usually applied to the
little fellow. The body of Mrs. Smitl
was removed to her late residence
where she leaves husband and anothe,
child, girl about five years old. Tit
heartrending screams of the lad at
tracted large throng of people, WHIT
were deeply affected by the sad Incl
dent.

Damages Of the Heart.

Crushed and miserable, bleeding as
to heart and disturbed as to diges-
ton, a young gentleman of England
hath sought damages from daughter
of the same noble land for breach of
promise of marriage. After she had
intimated that she would be his Own
One he visited her and her papa at her
papa's house, and was struck by evil
dences of wealth and grandeur that he
did not expect. Like Mr.. George
Sampson on the way to the bowers of
luxury at Harmon's, he was overcome
by sense of his own unworthiness.
elf this is Carry's style at home," he
wrote, " then George must give up real
love and retire from the field for want
of gold dust" Then, like the magnan-
imous Lavinia Wilfer, his Garry an
swered her George, "No, my dearest
and best, my new home does not make
the smallest impression upon my mind
as regards worldly matters :" and so
Georges heart still more firmly chung
to that gentle being. The gentle being,
however, after while grew tired of
seeing her George and his letters,
whereupon her dearest and best imme-
diately found that it was "pain to eat, "
and got a medical man to confirm his
opinion. Convinced that an applica-
ton of gold dust would be good for his
complaint, he brought suit against his
Garry, and exhibited all the kind and
fattering letters she had written him.
She based her defense chiefly on the
statement that her papa had at no time
given his consent. But this did not
save her; touched by the unselfsh no.
bility of the man in producing her love
letters, and burning with fendish
desire TO avenge the wrongs of their seq

THE DIPHTHERIA.
Over Thirteen Hundred People Die of IL
I'm New York Alone Last Year.

Over Thirteen Hundred People Die of It
I'm New York Alone Last Year.
While newspaper writer's have been
touching now one note and now an
other of our gamut of sensational pes
thence, little attention has been paid to
the steady advance of that fatal and
malignant scourge-diphtheria. Within
year, in New York alone, 1,3A per-
sons have died from that cause, and
over 800 of these have been children
under five years of age. Had 1.-THE of
that number died from anything re-
sembling cholera or yellow fever, says
the Times, we should have had pub
lie scare which would have compelled
such cleaning out of tenements, flush
ing of sewers, and clearing away OF
street filth as has not been witnessed
for many years.
1t is somewhat difficult to explain
why New York should have attained so
fatal a pre-eminence in the ravages of
diphtheria. The disease is compare
lively a new one in the records of med
ical science, though something resem-
bling it was fatally prevalent two CEN
turtles ago. Washington is believed to
have died of it.; in his time, however,
it was called "acute laryngitis." 1t is
| hY1f N foxrr Ifc NO orao
in the north of France introduced it to
medical observation under the name of
the Boulogne sore throat" Since
that time physicians in both hemis-
pheres have had too many opportuni-
ties of investigating its symptoms; and
the difference between its true and
spurious forms, as well as the proper
measures for its treatment, is probably
as well known to doctors of education
and experience as any branch of their
profession. Unfortunately there are
physicians who practice among the tene-
ment-houses, where diphtheria proves
cation nor experience for dealing effec-
lively with such disease. At the
same time, it must be remembered that
the spread of diphtheria is greatly as
sisted by neglect of ordinary precau-
tions on the part of the people them
selves. For example, one child in q
family may be stricken with the com.
plant, and yet the parents will never
dream of using the ordinary precaution
of keeping the rest of their children
from carry ,ng the infection into pub
lie school or disseminating it among
their companions. Achild may attend
school while still suffering from the
early symptoms of the complaint, and
yet teachers will not consider it as par
of their business to see that sickly pu
pills are at once sent home. The filthy
streets, the badly constructed sewers
and the old water-courses of the city
help the fatal luxuriance of diphtheria
So do the untidy habits of laborint
mems wives, the neglect of ventilation
in their homes, and the pestilence-nour
ishing filth which is allowed to cling tt
floors, walls, and furniture, to rot il
backyards, and to make stairs and pas
sages as unwholesome as the stagnan
pools before the doors. The means O
| checking the progress of the malad
must adapt themselves to the cause
that foster it. Neither lie beyond cas-
reach, if people will only waken up t
perception of the fact that the occa
sion calls for an unusual display bot
of public and private energy.

Some Sad Figures.

Only two out of eighty-two reformed!
If all young tipplers could see how
nearly certain it is that an alcoholic
appetite, once formed, will never leave
them, they would let the first glass
alone. Rev. Samuel W. Bush, upon re-
firing from the chaplaincy of the State
Inebriate Asylum, gives statement
concerning the success of the institu-
ton which is far from encouraging. He
surprises US by the information that few
out of hundred are permanently re-
formed. We had been led to suppose
that cures from the terrible disease of
drunkenness were more frequent, and
elapses rare. The Representations
usually made concerning the work of
asylums and reformatories for this class
of frail, SHINING men, have quickened
many hopes concerning them. But Mr..
Bush speaks with great defniteness of
the institution whose operations he
thus watched: "This I know, that
only three of the eighty-two patients
under the first administration have
continued in course of total absti-
hence; and all these eighty-two be-
longed to the highest class of society,
and were intelligent, educated men.
Many of these are dead, and died in @
manner not pleasant to contemplate.
The rest-alas for them |" Prevention
of incompetence, therefore, is the only
hopeful work. If. the habit, wher
formed, is so invincible, guard the
young from the formation of the habit.

Editorial notices are so common that
it is almost impossible for an editor to
express his honest opinion of the merits
of any article without being suspected
of interested motives. This fact, how
ever, shall not deter us from saying
what we think of new addition to the
Materia Medica to which our attention
has been recently directed. We refer
to DR.. J. Walkers California Vinegar
Bitters, q remedy which is making more
noise in the world just now than all the
other advertised medicines put to-
gether. It's celebrity, as far as we can
judge, is not based on empty pretention.
There seems to be no question about
the potency of its tonic and Alternative
properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing
neither alcohol nor mineral poison.
That it is a specific for Indigestion,
Biliousness, Constipation, and many
complaints of nervous origin, we have
reason to know /; and we are assured on
good authority that as general in
vigorant and regulating and purifying
medicine, it has no equal. 1t is stated
that its ingredients obtained from the
wilds of California;, are new to the
medical world /; and its extraordinary
effects certainly warrant the conclusion
that vegetable agents hitherto unknown
enter into its composition. If popu-
larity is any criterion, there can be no
doubt of the efficiency of the Vinegar
Bitters, for the sale of the article is i'm.

SunstrOke.

1t isn't the heat of the sun that is the
immediate cause of sunstroke. The
human frame can bear without injury
q far greater heat than the sun ever
gives to anything on this earth. Men
have been put in ovens and come out
uninjured from a heat of 1876 degrees
Fahrenheit. But when from sickness,
lack Of cleanliness, too great moisture
in the air accompanied by excessive
heat, or from some other cause, the
temperature of the body rises above the
limit prescribed by nature (about 10C
degrees), then danger is imminent.
Sunstroke or some other serious shock
to the system follows.

Hints.

Sir Andrew Agnew was famous for
giving broad hints. The nature of them
will be best ascertained by the follow
ing anecdote Sir Andrew having been
pestered some time by an impertinent
intruder, it was one day remarked to
the baronet by friend that this man
no longer appeared in his company, and
asked how he contrived to get rid of
him. " In troth," replied the baronet,
Il was obliged TO give the chiel a
broad hint" ga broad hint ?" replied
the friend, 81 thought he was one OF
those who could not take hint" "By
my faith, he was opposed to take it,
answered Sir Andrew, for the fellow
would not gang out by the door, SO
threw him out OF the window"
