Incorrect Use Of "hOn." and "Rev -

A WRITER in late number of the
Wooster EntUeysttg ReuieaO, supposed to
be President Taylor thus discourses
about an inaccuracy which is coming In
to very general use In some parts of the
West. He says:
One of the most frequent errors that
we meet, and gross perversion of good
usage, without authority and without ex-
cuse, has taken full possession of many
of the better rural journals, and is invad.
ing the columns of the city press. We
refer to the use of the prefxes " Honor
able" Reverend" and the like, in di
rect connection with surnames, as Hon
orable Colfax"; Reverend Hail." Ere
quently the mistake is made in direct
address, as "Good morning, Reverend"
These preflxes are merely adjectives, and
one might with as much propriety ad.
dress another as Handsome Williams"
or "Sweet Snyder" The usage of good
society," recognizing the dignity of man
hood and womanhood, entities every man
to the title of "Mr." and every woman
to the title of "Mrs" or miss"
And it is no less disrespectful in
fact to say "Rev. johnson" than
simply to call the individual "John-
son." without any title whatever.
|
prefix to be applied to the dignified full
name. Take note, then, that the proper
address, which should in no case be
neglected, includes the title mr." as
Rev. Mr.. johnson. This is the very least
that is admissible. The more respectful
method, that one usually employed in
polite literature, requires also the inser-
tion of the first name or names, or the
initials, as Rev. James johnson, Rev. j..
L. Smith, the insertion of these taking
the place of the "Mr." when the "Rev."
or "iyon." is pre6xed; not Rev. Mr..
William Jones. Nouns, however, used
as adjectives to indicate position may
be attached directly to the surname, as
Bishop White, Prof. Black, Principal
Farbury, Deacon Small, because they
substitute some official rank Or Office in
place of the "Mr." that is common to all
men. So we may say that person is o
Professor or Doctor, but not "an Honor
able" or "a Reverend" But these hon
orary prefixes may be applied without
disrespect directly to the titles of Office,
as Rev. Prof. Green, Rev. DIR. Smith
Hon. and Rev. DR.. Baptist Noel. This
matter of proper personal respect is q
very delicate point in public estimation,
and needs to be carefully observed, fol
the maintenance of ones own liter
ary standing. As general rule it is
most courteous, when addressing another
in writing, or when writing of him, to
insert the full name or the full initials
belonging to him. This is rule easily
remembered, applicable in all cases, and
upon which we may always safely rely
to save US from trouble. The accurate
spell,n of the name is also very i'm
portant, to avoid giving ofense. Bing
hamton, in New York, was formerly
spelled with "p''-Binghampton. Aftel
the "p" was discarded Buffalo papel
persisted in the old spelling, whereupor
a Binghamton journal, in considerable
ire, responded as follows: "Put The let
ter in the name of your own town, if yol
want to use it so much-Buffalop. There
how do you like it now?" Humanity i

Curing Insanity by Irritating the
Skin.

There are many cases published in the
medical journals relating TO insanity, says
DIR. Brown-Sequard, showing that a large
number of patients have been cured sud.
denly by means of irritation of the skin,
that was either accidental or employed by
physician. There are other means more
curious and equally effective, as In the
case / am about to mention. A patient In
a lunatic asylum met another one who
struck his head and broke his Uranium on
the right side. The brain oozed out, 8
good deal was lost, and the patient was
cured of his insanity and epilepsy. This
is rather dangerous means of treatment,
however, and of course l only speak of it
to show that an irritation brought to the
brain may often cure. 1t is In that way
that bold surgeons-as many there were in
this country in the period from 1925 to
1S59-who have brought their instruments
to the Uranium and made an opening
there, in cases of epilepsy, in search of q
disease at that place that did not exist,
have very frequently cured their patients.
But not because they have taken away the
disease that they supposed existed there,
but because they produced an irritation
which has done it.
But l may add that it Is not necessary to
open the Uranium, though it has been done
to my knowledge more than fifty times in
this country. All that Is called for is an
irritation of the skin of the Uranium and
of the fibrous band that covers the bone
between the skin and brain. Irritation
there has very good chance of curing
epilepsy in many very obstinate cases.
There are many cases on record showing
that an inflammation in almost any of the
organs of the body Is sufficient to check
insanity. In the same way other affec-
tions of the brain, such as amaurosis or
paralysis, may be cured suddenly without
any cause that we can find, but with good
ground certainly to believe that irritation
has acted so as TO produce change in the
cells of the brain and diminish their NOR.
bid activity. For there are clear cases in
which those affections have been cured by
such irritation. Those alterations of cells
that were producing arrest of the power of
sight or paralysis have been submitted to
an irritation of parts of the skin or of
some viscus, and this irritation going to
the morbid part and producing a change
in the activity of those cells has cured the
disease. So that a double mechanism of
arrest may take place in all these cases
There is in the brain an irritation starting
rom the place where is disease That
we can see after DEATH That irritation
goes TO parts at distance and acts on cells
TO stop their activity; but another irrita-
tion starting from some parts of the
body goes to the parts that are diseased
and there acts on the mOrbidly active
cells and stops their activity, so that
the effect that resulted from the disease
ceased So one phenomenon Of arrest
produced the cessation Of another.

-Girders, angle.irons and other similar
large masses of iron are often placed in ex-
posed situations where damp air, steam

Contractors generally agreeto supply such

extent protect the metal but as a rule only
one thin coat is applied and the slightest
abrasion exposes the iron. A new and
peculiar mode of treating iron is the fol-

is plunged into a vat of mixed oil and

Profit In Cows.

There are but few farmers who fully
realize the true value of good COW well
kept. As general practice three COWS
do not produce as much milk, butter or
cheese as one would If treated rightly
and profitably. No account is kept of
the amount of milk or butter produced
by each COW in the year. The farmer with
his cows is in the same situation as he is
with the balance of his farm. He keeps
no account and knows nothing about his
business. Two hundred and fifty pounds
of butter per COW per year is not large
yield, yet there are more that do not pro-
duce more than half that amount than
there is that exceeds one half. There is
no poorer policy than starving and freez-
ing a milk COW. There can be no more
improvidence in any branch Of agricult-
ure than in half starving and exposing
to the storms of winter the COW that is
expected to furnish the family with
milk, butter and groceries. We have
seen this spring from three to five COWS
staggering about straw stacks of farmers,
which will require nearly all the summer
to repair wasted nature, without supply
ing any of the rich, nutritious
milk which only comes from a
healthy, well-fed COW. Such a farmer
should either keep less number
or provide better shelter and more rich
food. One COW well provided for is bet,
ter than three starved ones. One will
furnish more milk. Children should
never be fed on milk drawn from a poor
COW, reduced to the bare possibility of
sustaining vitality. 1t is cruelty to ami
mails to thus treat them, and it is murder
to the innocent children to feed them on
such food. The profit, the morality and
the respectability of it require that q
man who keeps cows should provide bet
ter than is done in most cases in cold eli
mates. A man that would cheat his poor
old COW, which has thus far raised his
children, should be considered respecta
BILE in no society. There may be cases
where drought, flood or devouring insects
have rendered it impossible to provide
bountifully for all the animals ON the
farm, but in such cases the owner should
not be compelled to see the poor old COW
shaking her horns at him in his nigh
dreams We plead for the COW, and i
three or five cannot be provided for, sci
off, and one well fed will provide more
than the three or five.-IOWG State Reg

to the tobacco plant seem TO be little

Southwark, mentioned heretofore, came
up yesterday on motion by the defend
ant for the discharge of an order of ar
rest. The arrest was made about two
weeks since on an affidavit that the de-
fendant was concealing his property
from his creditors. The case was taken
under advisement.
The District Court had no cases yes
terday.
The city for the use OF Jacob Worth
submitted case to the General Term Of
the Superior Court Yesterday, against
the Cincinnati and Spring Grove Avenue
Company and others. The action is to
recover the amount Of an assessment for
the Improvement OF Johnson street, west
of Spring Grove avenue, and east of the
stock-yard pens. After the suit was ar
gued on both sides it was submitted to
the Court.
