ing chlorine gas into pure turpentine oil
until saturated; it gives thick, heavy,
oily fluid, of brown color, with a
strong smell of chlorine. This is freed
from muriatic acid by washing with wa.
ter. This remedy is applied by placing
a portion in a fiat vessel and holding it
to the patient to inhalt, The results at
tending this method of treatment are re-
garded as indicating that oil of turpen-
tine is the best absorbent of chlorine gas,
and that, therefore, it can be employed
with advantage in operations and other
cases where chlorine Is to be evaporated

"A left-hand writer in the Scientific
american gives some reasons why it is
better to write as he does. The hand is
neverin the way Of vision. The pen
point is always in plain sight. and SO is
the paper to be written on. There is,
consequently, no inducement to st0op
forward or to turn the head so as to throw
the eyes out of focus. 1t is a common
fault with those who write much that
the left eye has shorter range than the
right. 1t is overworked and compelled
to adapt itself to nearer vision. In writ.
ing with the left hand these evils are
avoided. An upright posture is the cas-
lest, and the eyes are equally distant
from the paper. Fl ~
Though boy is right fine thing in
his way, there are points in which hosts
of other animals can beat him. For in
stance, where is the boy whose sight is
as keen as a hawks, whose sense of
smell is as fine as hounds, whose hear
ing is as acute as a cats, whose teeth are
as sharp rs rats, whose legs are as
quick as deer's: Show me a boy who,
like the flea, can Jump five hundred times
the height of his own body; or who, like
the beetle, can lift weight three hun
dred times as heavy as himself; or, if
you cannot produce that supple and
mighty young gentleman, let's see new
boy baby who is one-quarter as knowing
and able to care for himself as an hour
old calf!-St. Nicholas.
The daily habits of every boy and
girl are materials with which they are
building up their characters, and every
repetition strengthens them for good or
for evil. Justice, benevolence, honor,
integrity and self-contrOl are NO epheme-
raj blossoms that days sunshine can
call into being and a nights frost can
wither and kill. They grow slowly and
develop gradually, but once rooted firmly
in the heart and trained by constant ex-
ercise they will prove sturdy, healthful,
lOng-lived plants, that will bear rich and
abundant fruit. 1t is not enough to
teach; we must also train. It is not
enough to tell the child what is right
We must accustom him to love its atmos.
phere. So with self-culture. If we would
become nobler and more virtuous we
must habituate ourselves to the constant
exercise of pure thoughts, generous af:
fections, noble and disinterested deeds.

maker on Gratiot street yesterday to
have a chat, and he was asked to mind
the shop for few minutes while Crispin
ran down to get his dog licensed
Julius was sitting on the bench smok,
ing and meditating when great
big fellow entered and holding up q foot
exclaimed: "See that air butte, will yer!'
Then he held up the other and said;
And see that air one!" Then he jumped
up and down until the shop shook, and
added, kin lick the man who makes
butes which fall to pieces in two weeks!''
Mr.. ROmburger took the matter calmly,
and replied, "What don't | know about
about dem boots, eh!" Then the stranger
peeled his coat, pitched it into = corner and
replied: "l'm going to have my six dol
lars or hash ye up!" II say, what you
suppose don't know about dem boots!''
shouted Julius, crawfshing into corner.
Z" Oh! won't you be purity when get

pitching his vest after his coat. don't
know something about dem boots, I say!''
