SCARLET FEVER
Trentment Said to be Infallible.

1t is as unnecessary for child to
die Of scarlet fever, says Good He0lth,
as it is that it should be blind with
cataract. Let us see: At any time
before the body has finished its in
effectual struggle we are able to help
it, not by wonderful medicines, but
by the knowledge of anatomy and
the application of common sense
We consult the sympathetic nerve,
and do what it commands us to do.
We must give this child salt when it
wants it; we must give it acid when
1t has feyer-not vinegar, but lemon
juice, because the first coagulates al
bumen, and the other does not, on
account of the surplus oxygen which
1t contains. To initiate the soothing
mucous in the intestines, which is
now wanting, and to give some res
piratory food at the same time, we
add some gum arabic. TO restore
and relieve the injured nerve we APP
ply moist warmth. In practice we
can fulfil all this with the following
simple manipulations. Undress the
child and bring it to bed at the very
first sign of sickness. Give it, if it
has already fever, nothing but warm
sourish lemonade, with some gum
arabic in it. Then covert its abdomen
with some dry flannel. Take we'll
folded bed sheet and put it in boiling
hot water; ring it out dry by means
of dry towels, and put this over the
flannel on the child's abdomen. Then
cover the whole and wait. The hot
clothes will probably require repeated
heat. According to the severity of
the case and it's stages Of progress,
perspiration will commence in the
child in from ten minutes to two
hours. The child then is saved; it
soon falls to sleep. Soon after the
child wakes 1t shows slight symptoms
of returning inclination of food; help
its bowels, if necessary, with injec-
tions Of oil, soap and water, and its
recovery will be as steady as the
growth of a greenhouse plant, if well
treated. of course, if the child was
already dying, nothing could save it;
or if it has effusions in the lining of
the heart or brain; it is much better
/ it should die. But if the above is
applied in due time, under the eyes
and directions of competent physi-
clan, | will guarantee that not one in
a hundred children will ever die of
scarlet fever. | know this will startle
some of my readers, especially those
who have lost children already, but I
shall 60 still further. | maintain
that a child will never get scarlet
fever if properly treated. If child
has correctly mixed blood, it will not
catch the disorder if put in bed with
a sick child This is still more start
ling, but nothing is easier of proof

A Sleepy Town.


There are crimes which are com
mittcd so skillfully and deftly that
they are classified among the fine
arts, and compel admiration. There
are others which have features about
them so comical as to compel laugh

Of 4 very grave character. To the
latter belong the operations of a gang

two hotels, several stores and private
residences, there must be consider

Of an enterprising and thoroughly
impartial gang of thieves, who went
into the business by wholesale, and
cleaned out the town. They com

A Pennsylvania Amazon.


A correspondent, who has been do
ing up the coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania, describes rather remarkable
specimen of woman whom he ran
across in his travels. She lives at
Lewlsburg, on the Susquehanna, and
although dressed in woman's garb
she is said to be as devoid of woman
ly qualities as an iceberg is of heat.
Her name is Emma Britton, though
she is better known as "Johnny."-
She has broad forehead, clear blue
eyes, prominent nose, finely curved
lips, pretty teeth, round, dimpled
chin, fair complexion, rosy cheeks,
and a very genial and lively disposi-
ton. She is above the medium
height, is tleshy and well formed, and
weighs about l40 pounds. She has
taken several prizes for fine skating,
and can outstrip the fleetest young
man in the nelghborhood. She
seems to be particularly fond of ball
playing; throws a heavy base ball
with greater force, swittness and reg
ularity, and can catch swiftly thrown
balls with great ease and certainty.
On skates, she can jump fifteen feet,
and execute the most difficult figures.
She has run 100 yards III thirteen
seconds, which is good time even for
a man, and can saddle and bride 4
horse as well and as quickly as any
jockey. She is an expert rider and
driver, brave-almost reckless--and
no horse can 90 too fast for her. At
a race or match of any kind she will
join the sporting men, buy pools, and
wager her money with the rest of
them. She will stand at y bar, call
for drinks, swallow liquor, pay for it,
smoke, and talk horse. She is an ex-
pert marksman with rifle or pistol
AS an off.hand shot her skill is mar
velous. At a quoit-pitching she shows
to good advantage, and she can swim
a halt mile very easily. From her
earlier recollection she was extremely
sorry that she was born n girl. She
remembers having stoutly protested
against wearing dresses when quite
young, and she vowed then that she
would be a man in spite of all of
them. There is nothing foolish or
frivolous about her, but she appears
to be sensible, thoughtful woman,
fully cognizant of what she is doing,
and at all times ready to defend her
position by argument that has 4 solid
ring. She always said she would
never marry. She liked men as COM
panions, but she could not think of
being the wife of one.

ReMiniscences OF Gen. Thomas.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


Western and Southern newspapers
are busy trying to discover the polit-
ical learning of Gen. George II.
Thomas, before the war Having
had the honor of knowing Gen.
Thomas for some years, one of the
editors of the Philadelphia Inquirer
can speak somewhat positively on
this subject This illustrious officer
was poor Virginia lad, rescued by a
faithful negro nurse during the hor-
rible Southampton insurrection as the
only member Of the family unmassa-
cred Friends found him and he
was educated, and finally introduced
to President Jackson, who appointed
him a cadet at the West Point Aca-
deny. He was always Democrat,
as he felt he ought to be, but he was
not Secessionist, and never for mo-
ment thought Of deserting his flag.
Had he been placed in command
when the war broke out, he would
have been found a full match for
Lee, his old army comrade, for he
was one of the few generals that the
late war developed. His plan of op-
erations was to have taken the south
bank of the James River at once, and
he would have done what Sherman
did later with such splendid effect
cut the Contederacy in two. But
the powers were afraid to trust him
bcause he was Firginlan, and his
plans were rejected. 1t is detraction
even to hint that he was kept from
treason by his excellent wife. She
is worthy of all honor; but the fact
is, George ii. Thomas never knew
anything but his duty, and would
never have fought under any flag but
the Stars and Stripes. He used to
say, "The army is my father and
mother; l feel as if l was born in it,
and God willing, | will die in it,"
And he did.

Modern and Ancient Nayies.

Modern naval architecture has largely
borrowed from the ancients. Only with
in about twenty years America and
Europe adopted the ram both for offens-
i've and defensive purposes in naval war;
fare, but the war vessels of the Greeks
and Romans were built on the same
principle. And the extent of the navies
of old is something remarkable. The
tonnage of the British navy, the largest
of this day, is about 300,000 tons, but
the Athenians, 1876 years before the
Christian era, being republic with less
than 1000, 900 of inhabitants, sustained
a navy of All rams, with tonnage of
103, SIT tons, with 10000 men, and the
Romans, in single naval battle with
the Carthagenians, brought into action
1854 rams, of 193,367 tons, manned by
100000 fighting men. The fleet of
Xerxes, which the Athenians defeated at
consisted of 1907 rams, of $780,
627 tons, and manned by $40, 900 men.

The Turkish Assassination.

A new version of the recent assassina.
ton of members of the Turkish Minis.
try is given in letter from CONSTANT
nople to the Courier dc France, in
which it is asserted that the murder of
Hussein Avni and Rachid, and the at
tempted killing of Kaiserli-Pasha, were
instigated by Midhat- Pasha, the G and
yizier, who had arranged plan where
by Capt. Hassan, the chosen butcher,
was to perform his bloody work at a
midnight session of the Cabinet Coun-
cil. Partial confirmation of this story
is furnished by the Constantinople cor.
respondents of other French newspa-
pers, who agree in the statement that
the assassin was not hanged ON the fol-
lowing day, as represented by the Turk
ish Government, but that the body of
another man, already dead, was made to
do duty in place of Capt. Hassan, who
is believed to have been safely removed
TO secluded retreat.

Dead Currency.

Between 1869 and 1876 several new
patterns of fractional currency have
been devised and put in circulation.
The aggregate amount paid out to the
public from 1869, to June 30, 1875, was
$210, 1853, 032, or nearly twice that of the
former period. OF this large total $32, :
125, S18 remained unpaid at the end of
March. In the three months since the
treasury commenced paying out silver,
So, 134, 505, or nearly twenty-five per
cent. of the later issues have been taken
in. This is just one hundred times the
ratio of redemption for the first three
issues. A comparison of the ratio of
redemption of the fourth and fifth is
sues justifes an estimate that not less than
IS, 100000 of the currency issued since
1869 will never be presented for pay
ment. This gives us a total of $15, 000,-
900 in dead fractional currency, and
leaves the total in existence and doing
duty three months ago at $27, 1900, 900.

Mr.. Blaine,s Chances of Life.

That James G. Blaine is, indeed, very
sick, suffering generally from nervous
prostration, all accounts agree to con-
firm. His present condition, after what
has happened recently in Congress and
at Cincinnati, necessarily recalls sope
melancholy facts of the past. 1t was the
mental worriment which Gen. Harrison
suffered through the campaign of 1910
that killed him precisely month after
his Inauguration as President. Daniel
Webster was man of immense physical
and nervous power, but in 1852 he had
fixed his mind ON the Wing nomination
for the Presidency. Being defeated, the
event so told upon him that his entire
system collapsed, and he was buried at
Marshfield before election day. Stephen
A. Douglas is another instance how
political defeat at a Presidential cleo
ton may utterly ruin constitution en-
bowed with tremendous mental and ami
nal forces, and the latest instance is the
sad fate of Horace Greeley, only four
years ago. Mr.. Blaines condition of
health points strongly to the possibility
that like causes may produce like effects.
