To Stop The Growth of Boils.

DIR. Simon, Of Lorraine, adve-
Gates a means of stopping boils
and furuncles which he declares
infallible. As soon as he per
csives on any part of the surface
the characteristic redness of va
rying form and size, with a cul-
minating point in the center
which soon passes from red to
white, he puts in saucer Thin
bleful of camphorated alcohol,
dips the palmer surface of the
three middle finger in the liquid
and gently rubs the infamed sur
face, especially the central por-
ton. This is repeated eight or
ten times, each time for about
half q minute. The surface is then
allowed to become quite dry,and
q slight coating of camphorated
olive oil is applied, ,Tto prevent
the evaporation of the alcohol.
Boils or furuncles seldom require
more than four applications, and
often a single one is enough to
cause them to dry up and disap-
pear. When several applications
are needed, they should be made
at intervals, say morning, mid
day and evening. The same treat
ment is equally successful in
whitlow, and all injuries of the
tips Of the fingers. As soon as
pain and rsdness are perceived
in the finger, it should be soaked
for ten minutes in camphorated
alcohol, then well dried, and fin
ally soaked in comphorated sweet
oil. The relief is immediate, and
three applications generally ef-
feet a perfect cure.

Itis s6id that when the swallow

Its s6id that when the swallow
was first made, she was SO pleased
with her long wings, and her
forked tail, and her swift fight,
that she did not set about build
ing her nest in proper time, and
it quite went cut of her head
how to build one at all. So at
last, after many attempts, she
thought she would go to some
good-natured bird and ask for a
little help. Of all the birds she
thought the thrush looked the
most good-natured, and she tsld
her difficulties to the thrush, and
asked for advice.
"Oh, to be sure" said the
thrush "I'll soon show you.
First take q few sbents,' as we
call these old grass stalks."
"Oh, yes, to be sure.'' said the
swallow.
~Then get a lump of clay, and
then another
"Of course
"To plaster them."
aAh, yes, ! know"
"Plaster them 60
"Yes, to be sure
@Aud then"
@Ohiyes, l know" said the
swallow again.
al then turn it up So" said the
thrush.
"To be sure-oh, yes"
"And then,''-the thrush tried
to say
.Of course. interrupted the
swallow.
SWELL" said the thrush, 'syou
seem to know all about it quite as
we'll as I do, so need not delay
any longer but 60 off to my eggs.
Good day )" and away she few.
But they had only built half
round the nest, and, for the lite
of her, the poor swallow could not
make out how to do the ether
side. So she stuck the side she
did know how to build upon a
wall, and pretended to be very
eentent but the other birds often
make little jokes upon "the bird
with half a nest."-IHe Xetho-
dsst.

"Thank you," said the old wo-

Esther scampered back to the

cold water from the well, and
hastened with it to the poor trav-
eler.
81 thank you," said she after
drinking. at tastes very good.
Do you know what the Lord Jesus
once said about a cup of cold
water %
Esther was silent.
81 will tell you. He said, Who

people q cup of cold water, only
In the name of a disciple, he

4 Church That Began With a
Dog Fight.

The trae origin of one of the
New Haven churches is perhaps
unknown, even to many of the
present wershippers within its
beautiful gates. "Not to put too
fine a point upon it," it began in
q dog fight. As a young man,
whom it will be sufficient to de-
scribe as being at present the
surgeon of the United States Ma
rine Hospital at Puget Sound, was
on his way to church one Sun
day morning, about eight years
ago, a couple of vagabond ours
fell olt directly in his path. 1t
was in a part of the city where
Bibles and Sundays, and sanctu-
ary privileges were separately
enjoyed, for in less than five min
utes from the first grapple of the
eombatants, no fewer than twen-
ty-eight children had gathered to
act as umpires. The surgeon-to-
be at once decided that then was
the time, and that the place for a
mission school on which his heart
had long been set. The shop in
front of which the fight took place
happened to be that of a rag
picker,and after some difficulties
the loft above it was secured for
two years at a moderate rent,the
rags swept out, benches were fur
nished by the old Center Church,
and the Sunday school opened
with eighty at the first session.
The number and interest con-
stantly increased from month to
month, until, to make a long ste
~ short, this school of street
arabs has now become the strong
West Church, with its stately ed
ifice Of stone and sterling mem
bership.-- Christian Union.

THERE is at least one candid Repub-
lican in Congress. The Washington
correspondent Of the Ne,c York TriJuae
writes on Jan. %:
a prominent Republican Represen-
%tativc, when asked to-day for an expla-
nation OF the almost solid Republican
vote given yesterday for the admission
of the ~so-called August delegation
from West Virginia, In face of the re-
port Of a majority Of the Elections
Committee IN favor Of the October
claimants, said: There were as many
lawyers in favor Of the August election
as the October one; more people voted
IN August than In October; the August
claimants are Just as good fellows as
their rivals; and, finally, they belong
10 our party, and the others don't"
That is to say, that if they had been
Democrats and those elected in Octo-
her had been Republicans, the action
of the Republican Congressman would
have been, reversed. The Tribune says
editoriaUy: 1.-The explanation of the
singular vote in the House, on the
West Virginia election cases, given by
a Republican member, IS a key to
much Congressional politics. This
statesman said: The August claim
ants are just as good fellows as their
rivals; they belong to u party and
the others don't How many grave
questions Of law and evidence are set

THE STUDY OF HYGIENE.

During a recent investigation by the
New York Citizens Association into
the Health Department of the city, a
young physician testified that the sub
ordinates OF the department did not
know the first principles of the science
they were appointed to put into prac-
tee. The department brought for
ward several subordinates to disprove
the charge. They were examined sep
arately. The first made a laughable
mistake about the word '.hygienic,"
and the rest were asked in turn: Have
you any hygienics in your ward:"
They answered Yes" No" I'VE
have had 'em pretty badly" etc.
Finally, when one .of them, who had
been making some wild shots Of this
sort, was asked: DO you know what
The word "hygienic" means:" ne re-
piled: Yes, sir, 1 do, it means a bad
smell arising from dirty water The
story serves as a text for President
Whites strong sermon, in the Popular
Science Monthly, on the i'm
portancc Of systematic and univer-
sal instruction IN hygiene.
The gentleman whom seven OF eight
hundred students in Cornell University
call "Prcr," is right to lecture the pub
lie on the study Of the laws Of health as
a part Of academic, If not common
school education. Experience proves
that it iseasicr, cheaper and every way
better, TO prevent fevers ana other dis
eases than to cure them, OF suffer all
the consequences of their infection.
The germ of a snake which one may
drink IN branch water is q small affair.
But let It grow to the size of the rep
tile in the young adys stomach, as de-
scribed IN this paper of the 30th ult.,
and ali can see that prevention is the
true remedy, especially where the
enemy has life, growth,

THE srRUGGUE FOR THE spoILs.

Like the frog in the fable, the Re-
publican party is in a fair way to
''swen up and burst" The party has
grown too big for the ''pickings and
stealings" to go round, and the favor
ties have waxed too fat for the hungry
hangers-on who are inpatient for
their own turn to come. The real bone
Of contention is the succession. 1t is
but a repetition on a national scale of
the Stokes-Senter split in Tennessee.
In the course Of time, we suppose some
independent" organ viii discover
some infnitesimal difference In favor
of one of the factions, against the
other, and will urge the Democracy to
take sides in the Kilkennycat fight, in
stead of presenting for the peoples
adoption its own clearly defined prin-
ciples of pure, simple, cheap and hon.
est government, amenable tothe people
at all times because decentralized. 1t.
is well enough to anticipate such ma
neuvers, because it is very likely
that one of the Radical factions
viii seek to perpetuate itself
by bidding for Democratic support. If
responded to, such a policy would only
delay the day of real deliverance for
the people, and weaken the Democracy
for the Interior work of regeneration.
It is meet that both the Radical fac
tons should die; let the Kilkenny cats
fight it out to the death. 1t is none Of
our funeral. The Democracy a well
affort to hold aloof, satisfied that It's
principles and practices present such a
striking contrast with all.forms of Rad
icalism, as to attract to its standard
the great bulk of honest, unpurchasa-
BILE voters. Meanwhile the antagonism
to Grant, developed in his own party
by the question of the Chief Justice
ship, grows on apace. Conkling, de-
Tending the Presidents earlier nominal
tons, was bafled by Morton. Now it
it is Matt. Carpenter, acting Vice Pres
ident Of the United States, who
takes up the cudgels against the
Indiana Senator on the Louisi-
ana matter, and similar struggles
are forthcoming on the many import
ant subjects, still held in abeyance,
which must come up before the present
Congress. The quarrel extends to the
organs Of the party. Harper's Weekly
and the Neu York Times have been
pretty free in their criticisms of the
President. Even in Washington city,
the Chronicle, the big administration
organ, is at loggerheads with the Wash
ington Republican, generally reputed to
be Grants personal ''hand organ"
Elsewhere we reproduce a caustic edi-
torial from the latter paper, rejecting
| Grants estimate Of the Nelc York Times
and of Mr.. Jennings, its carpet-bag
editor from England. 1t is a fine sam
pie. of left handed compliment and
patronizing irony. The blows are
dealt with a gloved hand, but the ran
corous claws CLEAN out and tear the
more deeply.
