The London Fire Brigade.

THERE are now 80 stations of the brig
ade in London and stations are on the
Thames, where steam-foating engines
are moored. In connection with these
stations, which are all in communication
with each other by means of the electric
telegraph, there are SO telegraph lines
and So miles Of telegraph, iron-foating
barge to carry land steam fre-engine,
5 large land steam ire-engines, IA small
land steam fre-engines, Is seven-inch
manual fire-engines, II under six-inch
manual fire-engines and 1876 firemen.
There are 105 fre-escape stations and 1875
tire-escapes. The number of firemen
employed on the several watches kept UP
during the day is 90; the number at
night is 101, so that 271 are employed on
watch duty in every twenty -four hours.
The number sick, injured, on leave, or
under instruction is usually between 90
and so. The remaining men are avail
able for general work at fires. During
1878 the calls made ON the brigade for
turnout of engines were as many as 1,703.
Of these SO proved to be false alarms
and p were alarms of chimney fires. Of
fires other than chimney fires there were
1,548, of which 166 resulted in serious
damage and / 1882 in slight damage. In
20 of those fires life was lost and in "a of
them life was seriously endangered. The
number of lives actually lost was 80, of
whom 10 were taken out of the burning
buildings before death but subsequently
succumbed in hospitals or elsewhere.
The total number of calls for chimney
fires and in which no alarm of general
fire had been raised was 1902. In these
cases there was no attendance of engines
but only of iremen with hand pumps.
The quantity Of water used for extin-
gushing fires in the metropolis during
the year 1873 was about $4,000, 900 gal
Ions, or 101, 900 tons. The working ac-
counts for the year show the expenditure
of the brigade to have been nearly 1870,
000 Of this, between $180,000 and
1885,, 900 went IN salaries and wages, and
nearly $4,000 for mems clothing, some
thing under So, 900 for payments to medi-
cal officers, and about $4,000 in pensions
to late officers and widows.

Amounting For Scarlet Fever.

Upon the recommendation of Schee-
man, the amounting of the body with fat
has been extensively practiced in Ger
many during the past ten years, with the
view of lowering the temperature and
fastening the desquamation. DR.. Bayles
suggests, in this connection, the employ
ment of cocoa butter, as producing a
more cooling and refreshing effect upon
the patient, and emitting more agree
able odor in the sick chamber. This
agent, on account of it's solid consist
ence, is more readily applied than either
fat or oil, and is more easily absorbed by
the skin. Furthermore, it is thought to
afford the system a certain amount Of
nourishment.
In severe fevers the entire surface of
the body should be rubbed with this sub
stance every hour, or at least once every
four hours. Its application is also rec
commended in typhoid fever, in cases
where the patients manifest a dread of
water, or where the application of water
is impossible; likewise in other infam-
matory diseases, especially the severer
forms of infammatory rheumatism and
tuberculosis.-Heral Of Health.
Some years ago an acquaintance of
ours had several children very sick with
scarlet fever After their recovery he
| communicated his recipe, which was
published at the time in this paper; he
had kept his little patients well anoint-
ed with the rind of smoked hams. He
believed his treatment to have saved his
children, and we remember to have re
ceived at the time a number of letters
from persons who had practiced the
method after our publication, commend
! ing the ham remedy as important to the
community.-lS american.

the Wrong Disease.

Many times Women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with
palpitation, another with trouble of the
breast, another with pain here and there, and
in this way they all present alike to them
selves and their easy-going and Indifferent
doctors separate and distinct diseases, for
which he prescribes his pills and potions, as
Stunning them to be such, when, in reality,
they are all symptoms caused by some uterine
disorder; and while they are thus only able
perhaps to palliate for time, they are igno-
rant of the cause. and encourage their practice
until large bills are made, when the sutferin e
patients are no better in the end, but probably
worse for the delay, treatment, and other
compilations made, and which proper
medicine directed to the cause would have
entirely removed, thereby instituting health
and comfort instead of prolonged misery.

A Mammoth Pipe.

ANOTHER enthusiastic pipe-fancier has
been among us. This time he is also
from Russia, and rejoices IN the name
and title of the Count Tyoskiewecs. He
INDUCED in no fancy ideas in the choice
of a pipe, as did Maj Gen. Raffalovich,
his illustrious compatriot, who had his
ywife's likeness perpeCuated in meer-
y haum but bought q Tlain, seryiceable
Article, in the shape Of perhaps the big
scSt meersChaum pipe that was ever
made in this city, or any other, for actual
use. 1t was made to his order, at Kald
enbergs, in John street, and is of the
shape technically known as the London
bent" The meerschaum portion, which
is perfectly plain, after it was ready to
receive the amber stem, weighed exactly
half pound and measured nine and a
half inches from the outer side of the
bowl to the Joint where the mouthpiece
was to be fitted The mouthpiece, or
stem, was made of solid piece Of cloud
ed amber eight and half inches in
length, secured to the meerschaum with
patent silver screw. The pipe measured
seventeen and a half inches in length
when finished and weighed but fourteen
ounces, and cost its owner 5000. Six
workmen were engaged two days and a
half in its production. The Count sailed
for Havana day before yesterday, where
he will doubtless find sufficient tobacco
to enable him to color his pipe.-NeeO
York Times.
