Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times Women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with
pafpitation Of the heart, another with trouble
Of the breast, another with pain here and there,
and In this way they all present alike to them
selves and their easy-going and Indifferent
doctors, separate and distinct diseases, for
which he prescribes his pills and potions, as
cunning them to be such, when, in reality, they
are all symptoms caused by some uterine
disorder and while they are thus only able
perhaps to palliate for time, they are ignorant
Of the cause. and encourage their practice,
until large bills are made, when the suffering
patients are no better in the end, but probably
worse for the delay, treatment, and other COM
plications made, and which proper medicine
directed to the cause would have entirely
removed, thereby instituting health and COM
fort instead Of prolonged misery.

Typhoid Fever and Hygiene.

Sir William Gull, in a lecture on
typhoid fever, recently delivered ~
Guys Hospital, argues that the disease
is Is preventable as ague, and that the
time will come when deaths from it will
be as rare. He says that it is caused
BY virus Of nature, which may get
into the human body, increase in it
and destroy it. It is an accidental con.
dition, and not one of the ordinary pro-
cesses of nature. The origin Of the
disease is somehow or other connected
with drainage it has therefore been
called the filth fever, and to get rid of
the Alth is to get rid of the fever. DR..
Ono asserts that no one can approach
case of typhoid fever without paying
some attention to hygiene. This, he
claimed, was of the greatest Importance,
and with il he would prefer to carry
any one through the disease by wines
and soups and fresh air, rather than by
the use Of drugs. "--

A VIII Case.

Surrogate Warren of Troy has given
q decision in curious will dispute.
Doel Sanders, respectable citizen of
Hoosac Falls, made his will there some
years ago, and afterwards removed to
Massachusetts without issue. The es.
tate was valued at about $50, 900 in per-
senal property, q part of which at the
death of the testator was in New York
and part in Massachusetts,. The will
left only small share to the widow of
Mr.. Sanders, and that lady preferred to
waive her right unaer the will and claim
what the laws of Massachusetts, allow:
the whole estate up to 90, 900, and one
half the excess of that sum. The laws
of Massachusetts,, however, require
that will shall be Witnessed by three
persons, so the will, being Witnessed
only by two, had to be proved in Troy.
Then a certified copy was recorded In
Massachusetts under the United States
laws. Surrogate Warren of Troy de-
cided that though ordinarily the funds
should be RENTED to Massachusetts,.
that having been the domicil of the tes-
tator at the time of his death, yet the
intentions of the testator should not be
defeated by allowing the widow to OBJ.
tain larger share than he had intended
for her. Therefore the personal estate
in New York will be divided among the
legatees. .s.

Memory OF Faces.

When man has the painters faculty
OF recollecting faces, and with it q
quick and retentive memory of small
facts, the combination gives him great
social power. This was Macaulay's
case. He never forgot the face of q man
whom he had met in society, and with
the face he remembered all the salient
facts connected with the owner OF it.
Few things are more Hattering to an
ordinary mortal than being thoroughly
remembered by q great lion with whom
he has perhaps had q brief interview
several years before. I doubt if this
faculty exists to any great extent among
our public men ; indeed, I have often
been surprised at the absence of it. A
Russian baron of the true divine right
school once maintained to me that this
was an effect of republican institutions,
or, what came to the same thing, that
the opposite was the effect of monarch.
al institutions. He said that kings
and princes were obliged to SEQ . great
many persons, whereupon Providence
had conferred on them various means
of being gracious to those persons, Of
which prompt recognition was ONE
GALAXY.

"King Bley still holds his position
within his stockade, but is rather short

valuable acquisition in the shape of a
secretary who can actually read and

A Greenland Coal Mine.

The latest feature attracting attention
in the Frigid Zone is Greenland coal
mine. II is nearly a hundred miles
from Godhaven, and on the northeast
side of the island of Disco, in the weigat
or strait. The vein of coal is about
thirty inches in thickness, running
longitudinally into the mountain few
feet back from the beach, and about
hundred feet above the level. A party
that went in pursuit OF the Polaris snf-
ferers visited this mine and examined
it. They found on the top of the vein
of coal three strata, two of sand, with
one of clay between the two, forming a
total thickness of fifteen feet, which
sand and clay had to be removed before
the coal could be taken out They
found veins of ice running through the
sand as far down as the coal, and the
vein of coal increased in thickness and
yUvd quality as IL descended, contain
ing large percentage of bitumen and
a light sprinkling Of rosin. The first
day the party mined and took out and
carried to the beach, ready for embark
alton, about fifteen tons Of gas coal. If
they had remained they would have
taken out one hundred tons of coal
within five days. 1t is thus proven that
the mineral treasures of Greenland are
not confined to kryolite, and indeed
there may be many valuable mines of
various kinds here, the mining OF which
in the bosom of the earth would be free
from the terrible severity of the cold.
Doubtless further explorations and
mining operations hereafter will render
Greenland a habitable country for
mining population. With good coal
available there in ample supplies, life
will be shorn of much of the terror
incident to the climate.
