DIphtheria.

DR.. Hall in his Journal Of Health,
has given a simple and effective
method to arrest, and almost 1nva-
riably work a speedy cure OF this
disease, which has become so COM
mon, and often fatal, in this region.
1t is merely the application OF ice to
arrest the local symptoms, and the
nse of fresh milk abundantly, as
food. at is" he says, Surprising to
observe the speedy results of this
| treatment. The swelling Of the
| neck and under jaw, quickly disap-
pears, and The profuse and offensive
exudation from the mouth, throat
and nostrils cease as by magic. The
congestion and engagement of the
1 parts is reduced, the heat is dimin.
ished, the fever is quickly lessened
the pulse is lowered, and the patient
sustained by new milk, RECEIVERS rap
idly. We apply pounded ace IL
cloths to the swollen neck and jaws
and feed crumbs of it to the patien'
unceasingly."2 And he furtzer says
"No attack. which we have seen
however malignant, has withstooc
this treatment for twelve hours
Other conditions must of course b
compelled: The feet must be place'
in hot baths, the air must be pnr
and abundant, and sunshine must b
availed of if practicable" Win tn
afflicted try this sir.pl remedy?

Russian Forests.

According to recent statistics, 4O
per cent. of the whole area of Rus
sia. or 442, ,s97, 500 acres, is covered
with timber-trees. Nearly So per
cent of these forest-trees are situat-
ed in the four Northern Govern
ments-Archsngel, Vologda, Dion.
etz and Perm. The Governments OF
the South are comparatively poor IN
timber, some parts being nearly tree-
less. But since 1912, the Forest Ad-
miuistration has been remedying
this defect by extensive planting,
Between 1866 and 1870, upwards OF
20 600 acres were planted. The hatlVe
trees were principally Seoth plne'
spruce, fir, larch, birch, lime, aspen
| and oak. The-value of the toresI
products exported in 1871 announced
| to l6.O26, ,55s rubles. The home con
sumption is estimated at 264, 4,459,OoO
rubles per annum. Wood is almost
exclusively the fuel used in Russia.
The railways. consume annually u
200. 900 rubles worth for this Pur-
pose. An enormous amount OF Wood
, is also consumed in various manutae-
lures. Wooden drinking vessels,
platters and spoons, take the place
: of pottery and metal IN many DIS
: tricts, except in the houses OF the
rich. From So,oOo,O 900 to 10000, 900
:. wooden spoons are made every year
J. For the manufacture of bast mats,
a bark boots (Iapti, cordage, ETC., I'm,
e mense numbers of trees are sacrificed
s every year. 1t is computed that loo,-
a 1000 pairs of lapti are made annu.
h ally, each pair requiring the bark OF
Y four young trees; thus 400, 900 trees
!. are cut down every year for shoes.
Young lime and birch trees are rals-
L ed for this purpose. A great de-
s. struction of pine trees for the sake
s. of their rosin is also practical. Inc
IF aspen is largely used as materla
t. for paper making. Ten manufaeto
s, ries are engaged in the maDufaetur'
d of this paper in Russia, and two II
IN Finland. As the aspen has been, un
ID til recently considered. useless, vas
f. reserves of the tree have accumulat
We ed, which will supply the marke
Id for many years. Timber, resinou

ID articles exported. The Scotch PIN

as the only woods exported. "

While the parties in interest seem
TO be having a good time In court,
with hand-shaking, interchange of
salutations and an occasional burst
of laughter, there are many homes
in and around New York that are
filed with dismay as the trial goes
on. In one of the wealthiest homes
on Murray Hill there is a young la.
DIV nearly crazed with the incidental
mention of her name in connection
with this case. She is very talented,
beautiful, the idol of her home and
her friends. She took deep inter
est in the woman question in its ear
lv stages more from the impulses OF
d benevolent nature than from a de
sire to be prominent. She thought
there ought to be some opening fol
women Z who had brains and talent
and in this movement she thought
she saw some chance to elevate hel
sex. She had no idea where thu
thing would drift, nor what senti
ments would be agitated under tn
pretense of elevating woman. Sh'
got out of the company as soon a.
possible, but having touched pitch
she was deGled. The thoughtles
use of her name in court has fille'
her with terror, and she weeps da.
and night lest the threat be carries

The Newburyport mines continue

by such a discovery In new coun-
try where an opportunity is furnish
ed for stalking out claims. Legiti-
mate owners already have possession
of all the metal producing land, and
the only chance for outside specula-
tors consists in buying interests in
the mines. The Shipman lode, the
first discovered, has been bought at
rates which indicate q total Valua-
tion of one million dollars. A shaft
has already been sunk fifty feet, one
third of its intended depth and the
ore grows richer as the work de-
