FAILURE.
St. Louis, July l4.-D. w. Cham
bers, president of the Butchers and
Drovers bank announces the suspen.
sion of that bank. He says only fifty
per cent. of the capital stock has been
paid, giving $4,000 to be derived
from that source, if found necessary
to secure the depositors. He also
says he has wife and sisters which
stand ready to give deeds of trust on
several thousand dollars worth Of
property, to secure any balance due
the depositors, provided such time as
may be necessary to realize on the
assets of the bank, is given him. The
suspension of the bank grows out of
a run on the bank year or two ago,
which took from it nearly one million
dollars. Although the bank had
partially recovered from that recent
failure it created such distrust that
its suspension was found necessary.

How Brown Married Off His
Daughters.

"Brown, | don't know how it is that
your girls all marry off as soon as they
get old enough, while none of mine can
marry"
ooh, that's simple enough. mar
ry my girls off on the buckwheat-
straw-principle."
''But what is that principle? Inever
heard of it before"
"Well | used to raise a good deal
of buckwheat, and il puzzled me to
know how to get rid of the straw.
Nothing would eat it. and it was a
great bother to me. At last | thought
of plan stacked my buckwheat
straw nicely and built a high rail fence
around it. Ny cattle, of course, con-
Guided that it was something good,
and at once tore down the fence
aud began to eat the straw. I logged
them away and put up the fence a
few times, but the more | drove them
away the more anxious they became
to eat the straw, and eat it they did,
every bit of it. As | said, marry my
girls off on the same principle. When
young man that | don't like begins
calling on my girls / encourage him
every way l can. / tell him to come
often and stay as late as he pleases
and | take pains to hint to the girls
that think they'd better set their caps
for him. 1t works first rate. He don't
make many calls, for the girls treat
him as coolly as they can. But when
a young fellow that | like comes a.
round, a man that / think would suit
me for a son-in.law, | don't let him
make many calls before I give him to
understand that he isn't wanted about
my house. | tell the girls, too, that
they shall not have anything to do
with him, and give them orders never
to speak to him again. The plan al
ways works irstrate. The young folks
begin to pitch into each other, aud the
next thing | know they are engaged
to be married. When l see they are
determined to marry, l always give
in, and pretend to make the best of it.
That's the way manage it,"

The "Dose' for Scarlet Fever.

DIR. Beebe's letter published in the
HERALD two weeks ago did not ex-
plain how to use the cure and remedy
for scarlet fever. He has since then
published another letter from which
we extract as follows
Give 5-year-oId child one grain Of
the sulpho carbolate of soda, rubbed
up with its weight of sugar, eachmorn-
ing and night, and let this diffuse itself
through the blood as it goes circling
through the heart and lungs, liberating
an extra supply of oxygen, and the
blood of the healthy child will be
maintained in condition unsuited to
the growth of the germs of scarlatina
or diphtheria, and this will prevent at.
mospheric contagion. Put this child
into apartments where patients are
sick with these diseases, and give it
four doses each day as above, and it
will resist infection, or so nearly so as
TO exhibit but very mild symptons,if
any. Or suppose the child to have
been already attacked by either of
these diseases uncomplicated, and if
you will give it the same dose every
two hours recovery will almost GER
tainly follow. | have been very reluct-
ant to name the doses of this remedy
to the general public, because / believe
that every case of these diseases
should be under the eye of an intelli-
gent physician, who would detect
complications; and meet them with
properly selected medicines;but if pa
rents and guardians will refrain from
the domestic medical management of
the sick, much good may follow a
general use of the preventive.
In the doses above named / know,
and every educated physician knows,
that no harm can possibly arise from
their continued use. Many weeks
have now elapsed since l asked the
public to give me information of any
failure of the remedy to protect, and
to the selfish, appealed by offering
money reward, for information of any
case where the remedy failed to pro
tect when given in accordance with
my directions. Thus far no reports
of failure have reached me, and as it
has certainly been used by thousands
of children, in localities greatly ex-
posed, | assume that beyond my range
of personal observation it has been as
effective as in the cases personally
known TO me,

An Oriental Judge.

In "Notes from Neneveh" there
are some curious things related, not
the least curious of which is the fol-
lowing solution # puzzliDg prob
lem :
A certain merchant left 10 his last
will and testament seventeen horses
to be divided among his three sons,
according to the following proper
tions, namely: The first was to re-
ceive oue-haif, the second ono-tbird,
and the youngest one-ninth part OF
the whole. But when they came 20
arrange about the division, it was
found that TO comply with the terms
of the will without sacrificing one or
more of the animals vas impossible.
Puzzled in the extreme, they re-
paired to the Cadi, who, having read
the will, said that such difficult
question required time for considera-
ton, aud recommended them TO re-
turn in two days. When they AGAR
made their appearances the judge
said
I haVd considered your case, and
find that | can make such o division
of the seventeen horses among you
as will give each more than his strict
share, and yet not ono of the animals
shall be injured. Are you content2"
ave are, o Cadi!' was the reply.
"Bring forth the seventeen horses,
and lot them be- placed in the court~
yatd,' SAID the Cadi.
The ANIMALS were brought in, and
the Csdi ordered the groom to place
his own horse with them.
He then bade the eldest brother TO
count the horses.
"There are eighteen in number, Q
Cadil" he said.
81 will now make the division, IRE
sponded the Cadi. 'You, the eldest,
are entitled to bali then take nine
horses. You, the second son, are to
receive one-third take, therefore,
six 4; while to you, the youngest, be.
longs the ninth part-namely, two.
Thus the seventeen horses are Ovid
ed among you. You have each more
than your share aud | may now take
my own steed back again"
go Cadin said the brothers, "your
wisdom equals that of our Lord Sol
omon."

He Would "Catch Hitch On. "

The other day when gentleman
saw boy run over by sleigh he
went home, called his first-born to
his knee, and said
"William John, DONE never hitch
on to sleigh"
"But it's fun protested the boy.
1T may be, but its also dangerous.

two. Oaly the other day was read
ing of boy who was cn' into four
pieces by sleigh. Again, | was
reading OF boy who was carried off
by farmer and thrown into a well.
Then there was that boy in Chicago
who had his head taken clean off,
and the one in Boston who got fast
on the sleigh and was dragged to
death. Keep clear of teams, my
boy"
About two hours after this the
boy was seen in the street waiting
for "hitch." His sister ran out and
called
Don't you remember what father
said ?''
Yes, SIR he answered,
Gall about those boys being cut
up, and smashed and maugled?"
"Yes, sir"

A Whale's:wake.

The monster fish from Labrador,
which until Saturday had disported in
the main tank OF the Aquarium, was
yesterday laid out in state BETTING
creature of its Importance. In the
morning Professors F. I. Weisse M.
N. Miller prepared it for further ex-
hibition by opening the main artery
in his neck and injecting about two
gallons of chlorate of zinc. After
this operation was completed and the
fluid had thoroughly circulated thro'-
its veins, the unfortunate deceased
was properly bolstered on the tank
bottom to await the inspection and
eventual interment. The professors who
thus prepared the carcass say that it
may be kept for weeks if desirable.
While now reposing IN death the
white whale presents an appearance of
extreme forlornness It's blubber has ali
fallen away and the vertebre can be
seen its entie length. Mr.. A d. But
Ter, who claims the honor of having
first brought white whale to New
York, and who has had much expe
rience in their treatment, expresses
the opinion that the death was con-
sumption. When the proper time ar
rives an autopsy will be made and the
carcass dissected by Professor ]. G.
Dalton, of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons.
Mr.. Buffers former experience has
gone to prove that these animals can
not be kept out of the sea without a
falling away of the blubber and the
destruction of the lungs A few
months of tank life, added to the I'M
natural excitement ofmetropolitan ex-
istence, is sure to produce this result
On one occasion Mr.. Butler kept a
whale alive IN dry box for thirteen
days and the animal existed in a mu-
scum tank for several months after
ward. The whale now dead inthe Az
uarium was caught in June and bro't
to New York upon the 9th of October
The managers declare their intention
of fitting out another expedition for
Labrador, when there will be more
whaling and CRASHING Of teeth. -NeD

Sulphur for Scarlet Fever.

DIR. Henry Pigeon writes to the Lon
don Lancet as follows: "The marvel>
Gus success which has attended my
treatment of scarlet fever by sulphur,
induces me to let my medical breth-
rem know of my plan, so that they
may be able to apply the sama remedy
without delay. All the cases in which
| used it were we'll marked, and the
epidermis on the arms in each case
came away like the skin of a snake.
The following was the exact treatment
in each case: Thoroughly annoint the
patient daily with sulphur ointment;
give five to ten grains of sulphur in q
little jam three times day. Sufficient
sulphur was burned, twice daily, Con
Goals on a shovel TO fill the room with
the fumes, aud,of course, was thor
oughly inhaled by the patient. Under
this mode of treatment each case inn
proved Immediately, and none were
over eight days in making a complete
recovery, and firmly believe in each
it has prevented from spreading by
the treatment adopted"
