AN HONEST PHYSICIAN.

SolicitOus for the welfare of his patrons,
would have them obtain all the knowledge
they can respecting their systems and the
diseases TO which they are incident, fully
conscious how much easier his task Of
treating patients is when they are well
informed in those matters pertaining TO
health and disease. Good nursing PLAYS
such an important part In etlecting cures,
and is so little understood by the masses,
that hundreds OF the best physicians have
aided In the circulation OF "The Peoples
Medical Adviser" TO disseminate its nd.
mirable teachings on the care OF the sick.
Nor do sensible people appreciate this
popular work less because It's Author does
not advise every man to attempt, under ali
circumstances, to be his own physician.
The sale, so soon after its publication, OF
nearly one hundred thousand copies of

THE WORLDS CIRCUIT.
A Little Jaunt Of %, 600 Miles i'm sixty.
Eight Days.

DR.. DeHass, American Consul at Jerusa-
lem, in letter to the Omaha Republican,,
gives an account of tour he has just made
around the world in sixty-eight days of actual
travelling time. The following is brief out
line of the journey:
''Having safely returned to my post, take
pleasure in furnishing your readers, agreeably
to promise, with brief notice OF my quick
and successful tour around the world. Not
counting the time Hay over at different points,
as these breaks in the journey could have
been avoided, made the entire circuit of the
globe in siXty-eight days, and but for the
heavy weather on the Pacific would have
made it in sixty-two days. The journey from
Alexandria, Egypt, OLA Brandisi and Paris to
London, and from thence to New York and
San Francisco, was accomplished in twenty
days, and we were just the same number of
days going from San Francisco to Yokohama,
Japan. Crossing over from here to Canton,
in China, took six days. A sail of ten days
over the China Sea and through the Strait of
Malacca, touching at several points we have
no time to notice. brought us to Ceylon, off
the southern coast of Hindostan, and one of
the richest of the East India Islands. Thence
we sailed directly to Suez, in Egypt, which
took twelve days. and from thence, in few
hours, by rail to Alexandra, our starting
point, making the entire distance OF $4,000
miles-16, 900 by water and 9,0O0 on land
in sixty-eight days, without any accident or
detention of any kind"

A Threatened Tax an Flour.

A threatened tax on flour of a very curious
kind has come to light There is process
called high grinding in use in most of the
flour mills in the country, which is said to be
essential to the best results in reducing wheat
to Aour. 1t has long been in use in Europe,
and was introduced here in 1871, and the
machinery in use in Ill the great mills is
adapted to it. A ring of spectators in Wash
ington Is said to have got hold Of an old
patent on the process, quietly had it reissued,
got up 4 case in which the defendant was a
man Of straw, carried into the Supreme Court
without any defense having been made, and
got decision in support of its validity. New
suits have been brought for infringement
against the leading -four manufacturers of the
Brooklyn, the Haxalls, of Richmond, and G.
G. Wsshburn, of Minneapolis, and the hol.
'ders of the patent propose to grant licenses
to Raillers for the modet sum of $4,000 for
each run of stone. This would impose tax
'of $86; 1000 on the flour business of the
country, which would, of course, come out
of the consumers in the END. It is unneces-
sary to say that vigorous light will be made
against this imposition, and special act of
Congress cancelling the patent will be asked
for next winter.

Artificial Champagne.

Champagne drinkers will read with much in
terest, not wholly unmixed with misgivings,
the details of an ingenious and profitable in.
dustry which owes its origin to the scientific
enterprise of q belgian "chemist expert. "
We refer to the Fabrication of artificial
champagne, without using wine," process
which results in q compound sold at the
wholesale price of from fivepence to sixpence
per bottle, and retailed, to quote the words
of the circular before US: at "a great many
establishments at Paris, such as coffee-houses,
concerts, balls, eating-houses, etc., at the
price of five to six shillings per bottle" It
Is described by lite inventor as Wholesome
ana racy production, owing to the analysis
OF the sparkling wines of Epernay, Ay and
Saumur, cause which at first sight seems
put remotely connected with the effect. The
meaning OF the writer, however, is probably
tnat tne chemical constituents of these wines,
as obtained by analysis, enter in the same
proportion into the fabricated" beverage.
1t is obtained, we are told, by infusion, is
clear, very sparkling and improves with ace.
and has all the properties Of champagne
wine"-but not, of course, all it's ssnosses-
sions,' as the grape, we have been already
Informed, is omitted.-PaU Mall Gazette,

Prays for Il ParasOI.

A lady who has two charming little daugh-
ters was one night summoned from the nur-
sery just as she was preparing them for their
cribs.
Say your prayers and get into bed," she
said, ''and I'll come back and tuck you in."
When she returned, however, she found
them still on their knees, and in a perfect
tumult of laughter.
''Why, what are you doing?" she asked.
'Don't you know it is wrong to laugh over
your prayers
''Well, mamma" said the elder. II guess
you'd laugh if you heard what sister said.''
''What did she say, then?''
"Why, she said-O, mamma, it was so
funny she said, %, Lord, for Christ's sake
give me a new green parasol!"
The mother was delighted with the little
ones faith, and the new green parasol' was
forthcoming.-Appletons Monthly.

Lake Tahoe.

The Salt Lake Herald says: "Truckee is
a thriving railroad town, and the starting
point for Lake Tahoe-called the Gem of
the Sierras. Half of the lake is in Nevada,
the other half in California. 1t is % miles
long, and from twelve to sixteen miles wide,
and has been sounded to adepth of 1000 feet.
Its waters are beautiful ultramarine, and it
may be called the purest water in the world,
containing by analysis only per cent of i'm
2urities. It is so light and l.,obile as to be
easily dashed into foam, or calmed to mir
ror-like surface. In the early morning it is
like a looking glass, with surrounding objects
reflected in it with surprising accuracy. Sew
eral steamers of small tonnage are used in
navigating it. It's altitude is about $500 feet;
it is always cool and pleasant in the hottest
weather. The lake never freezes, and never
gives up it's dead. No person that has ever
6een drowned has been known to rise to the
surface The water is as clear as crystal,
and huge rocks fifty feet down are plainly
discernable. In fact, it is marvel, and the
contrast of Salt Lake."

Cure for Burns and ScaIds.

DR.. q. F. Waters of Boston recently tested
before the meeting OF the Massachusetts Den
tal society new remedy for burns and scalds,
consisting Of the application of bicarbonate
of soda, the simple cooking soda used in all
families. The doctor dipped a sponge in boiling
hot water, and squeezed it over his right wrist,
the water flowing almost completely around
the arm, and nearly encirclingi it with severe
scald nearly two inches in width. Not con-
tent with this, he dipped the sponge second
time, and pressed it closely on the under side
of his wrist for thirty seconds. He then ap-
piled the bicarbonate of soda to the scalded
surface, and laid over it wet cloth, and the
intense pain was banished as if by magic. On
next day after this severe test, the scald, with
the exception of the part purposely made most
severe, was practically healed. only slight
discoloration of the skin showing where the
scalding water had fowed-this, too, without
second application of the soda. The flesh
on the under side of the wrist had been cooked
down to the weat-glands, and the scald was
one which ordinarily would have caused an
open aud painful wound of long duration.
The only treatment of this, however, after
the first application of the soda. was to keep
the part moist with wet cloth, and no pain
was experienced, and it was but few days
before the wound was seen to be rapidly
healing.
