"Gcnc,ra" and the woman's club.


The Sun say. il was windy Yesterday.
The communication OF "Gcncyra" was
proofpo-itivc OF the fact. The first COM
muuication ot thi, writer was humorous,
and created a general laugh in the city,
but his c9i.tlc Of last evening wa, fail

in the "Woman's Club" i, mean, aud will.
We hope, not succeed. The assertion of
this icmalc-namcd he-writcr, that women
who are auflragi,ts and anli-suffragistS
cannot, without lighting, affiliate in a so
ciety the objects of which are foreign TO
politics, /, ridiculous. Democrats and Re
publican, Prc,bytcrian,, Methodists and
lniidcl> are MaSOns and Old-Fcllows.
They do not quarrel about politics or re-
ligion. Why then cannot women who
are Fighters and anti-iiightcr,
meet in a society for lit
crary improvement, 10 discuss the affairs
of the family, of dress, and other female
topics, aud act in perfect harmony; No
body but man, and rather mean fcl
low at that-onc capable of Disgusting
himself in pctticoat-would assert that
they cannot. When "Gcncvra' says the
Club was organized to be an organization
for the promotion of the cause of Wo-
mans suffrage, he must know that what
he asserts j. not true. 1t has no such OBJ
ject in view. Not one member of it claims
that it has, but on the contrary all distinct

objects are those we have indicated.
Why have not men been permitted
to take part in the establish

A Speciflc for Diarrhea.

Considerable has been said in med
zeal Journals concerning the value OF
milk rs a remedial agent in certain dis
eases. An interesting article upon this
subject lately appeared in the London
MIR Journal, in which it is stated, on
authority of DR.. Benjamin Clarke, that
in the East Indies warm milk is used to
a great extent as n specific for diarrhea.
A pint every four hours will check the
most violent diarrhea, stomachache, in
cipient cholera and dysentery. The
milk should never be boiled, but only
heated sufficiently to be agreeably warm
not too hot to drink. Milk which has
been boiled is not fit for use. The
writer gives several instances TO show
the value of this simple substance in ar
resting this disease, among which is the
following:
''It has never failed in curing in six to
ten hours, and 1 have tried it, / should
think, fifty times. l have given it to a
dying man, who had been subject to
dysentery eight months, latterly accom-
panied by one continual diarrhea, and it
acted on him like charm. In two days
his diarrhea was gone, and in three
weeks he became a hale, fat man, and
now nothing that may hereafter occur
will ever shake his faith in hot m ilk. 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. 1t checks
diarrhea and cools the body. People
suffering from diseases require food as
much as those in health, and much more
so in certain diseases where there is a
rapid waste of the system. Frequently
all ordinary food, in certain diseases, is
rejected by the stomach, and even
loathed by the patient but nature, ever
beneficent, has furnished food that in
all diseases is benefcial-in some direct
ly curative. Such food is milk" The
writer in the journal last quoted, DIR.
Alexander Yale, after giving particular
observations upon the points above men,
toned, namely, its action in checking
diarrhea, its nourishing properties and
its action in cooling the body, says
eve believe that milk nourishes in
fever, promotes sleep, wards off delirium,
soothes the intestines, and, in fine, is the
sine qua non i'll typhoid fever"
Another writer in the same journal
says: eve have also lately tested the
value of milk in scarlet fever, and learn
that it is now recommended by the
medical faculty in all cases of this often
very distressing childrens disease. Give
al the milk the patient will take, even
during the period of the greatest fever.
1t keeps up the strength of the patient,
acts well upon the stomach, and is in
every way blessed thing in this sick
ness. Parents, remember it, and do not
fear to give it if your dear ones are af-
ficted with this disease"

Historical Items.

The original manuscript of Washing
tons Farewell Address was sold AT auc-
ton, i'll Philadelphia, to citizen of New
York, for 81, 300, Feb. II, 1850.
THE phrase "Thunders of the Vati-
can" was first used by Voltaire in France
in 174S. The Vatican, which is the resi-
dence of the Pope, is said TO contain
1000 rooms. The library in it, founded
A. ID. 1448, is noted for its collection of
manuscripts. The number of books is
comparatively small.
VOLUNTEERS were first raised in En-
gland III 1894, in view of threatened
invasion by France. In the United
States, on the breaking out of the Next
can war, Congress authorized the enlist
ment of $4,000 volunteers. A much
larger number responded, but less than
10000 were actually needed or enrolled.
THE first white man who visited the
present site of Chicago was the French
Jesuit missionary Marquette. This was
in the year 1878. In the following year
he camped there. Subsequently, there
was a French trading post there. In

the mouth of the Chicago river. This
fort was more than once abandoned be-
cause of trouble with the Indians, and
was once destroyed by the savages, but
was again rebuilt. In 1880 the town
was surveyed and laid out. There were
at that time about dozen families in
the settlement, beside the officers and
soldiers of the fort.
THE construction of the great Chinese
wall only occupied ten years, but during
that time millions of men were employed
upon it. This wall is 1900 miles long,
from 20 to % feet high, and so thick
that six horsemen can ride upon it
abreast. 1t is in many parts built in the
most substantial manner, especially at
the eastern extremity, where it extends
by massive levee into the sea. In this
portion, it is said, the workmen were re-
quired, on pain of death, to fit the stones
so exactly that nail could not be driven
between them. In some parts the wall
is of earth only. This wall does not
surround the empire, but is built on its
north and northeast boundary. 1t was
built to keep out the Tartars. Suisse
quently, by the accession to the throne
of an Emperor of Tartar descent, the
wall became useless. 1t is now, in many
places, ruin. 1t has been said that the
materials used in building this would
build a wall six feet high and two feet
thick twice around the world

The NOntana--.Arrival Of a, Marine
Novelty
From the New York Herald

From the New York HerGld.l
The new screw steamer Montana of
the Williams & Guion line, which, ar
rived at this port yesterday afternoon
after passage of about eight days and
half from Queenstown to Sandy
Hook, is, perhaps, the pioneer of new
style of ocean-going passenger and
freight steamer. She is clipper built,
her sides being smooth, to offer the least
resistance to the water. Her model, de-
signed by Mr.. Stephen b. Guion, the
managing director of the line and the
superintendent engineer, is peculiar in
the formation of her ends and her sides,
she having long, hollow bow, intended
to throw the water off instead of allow
ing it to come aboard the ship, while the
sides are, as nautical men term it, "tJlm-
bic home Sides" having fall in of
seven feet on each side from the turn of
the bilge; this formation is calculated to
combine great strength with safety, as
the ship is much easier III a seaway than
the usual model. The following are her
principal dimensions: Length over all,
49, feet; breadth of beam on main deck,
40 feet; depth of hold, 80 feet. She
has four decks, including the hurricane
deck. She is brig-rigged, and can show
large amount of canvas when she has
her staysails and trysail set
Her enthusiastic commander SAYS she
can sail like witch, and believes he can
beat anything crossing the Atlantic
She came across working her engines at
three-Guarter speed, with an average of
fifty revolutions of her screw, which
gave a result of fourteen knots an hour.
With sixty revolutions, it is computed
she would make sixteen knots. Her
engines are of the direct acting COM
pound class, with one high pressure
cylinder inverted, two low-pressure
cylinders horizontal, with surface con-
densers. One cylinder is of 60 inches
diameter, and two are of lib inches,
with 42-inch stroke. The engines are
of 900-horse power nominal, but NAV be
worked up to 1900. Her shaft is %
inches in diameter.
The saloon is situated forward of the
funnel, and is sumptuously fitted. She
can accommodate ~ saloon passengers,
1913 in the second cabin, and ! 200 steer
age passengers, and all the modern i'm
provements have been adopted for their
comfort.

Judging Horses.

The purchasers of horses for the
French army always endeavor to obtain
a first look at the animal when he is tran
quill and in the stable noting if the
animal supports itself equally well on all
its legs, and if one seems to yield, to
especially examine it. Attention is then
directed to the largeness of the pupil of
eye, which ought to be more exposed to
full light. After the animal has been led
out of the stable, the eye ought to be
again examined observe, has the pupil
contracted-if not, the sight is feeble.
Others, to test the power of vision, feign
to strike the forehead with the hand. If
the hollow over the eyes be profound and
temples gray, old age is to be concluded.
Wounds about the temples suggest at
lacks of staggers, and when the end of
the nose presents circular scars, it may
be concluded that the horse has been
twitched with cord to insure his quiet
ness while being shod, or having to sub
init to severe painful operations-Jom--
