which grew worse by walking. The pain,
which al first was circumscribed, soon ex-
tended to the thigh and the entire left ex-
tremity. oblging him to keep his bed.
There was no fever or sordid state of the
tongue; the pains were acute, piercing.
and intermtting.
The physician who was called, finding
the principal painful symptoms which
characterize the sciatic neuralgia, per-
scribed potion consisting of three ounces
OF honey aud rose water. with dracham
OF oil of turpentine. of which mixture the
patient was 10 take Tablespoonful four

The prescriptions were put up and de-
livered to the wife of the patient, who mis-
took the vials. and instead of giving her
husband the potion, rubs him with 1t, and
gives him tablespoonful OF the liniment.
The next morning the physician calls and

A Sensible Word for the Girls.

4 Girl who makes herself to cheap is one
TO be avoided. No young man, not even
the worst, excepting for base purpose,
wants anything 10 do with cheap young
lady. For wife. none but fool or ras-
cal will approach such woman. Cheap
jewelry nobody will touch if he can get
any better. Cheap girls are nothing but
the refuse; and the young men know II,
aud they will look in every other direction
for life long friend aud companion before
they will give a glance at the pinchbeck
stuff that tinkles al every turn for fasclnat-
ing the ''eye of any that will look" You
think it quite the correct thing to talk
loudly and coarsely. be boisterous and hoy
den.h in in all public places; to make
yourself so bold and forward and common
place everywhere, that people wonder II
you ever had a mother. or home. or any
thing to do. So be it. You will probably
be taken for what you are worth, and one
of these years, il you do not make worse
than a shipwreck OF yourself. you will be
gin TO wonder where the charms are that
once you thought yourself possessed of.
aud what evil spirit could have befooled
you. Go on; but remember, cheap girls
attract nobody but fools and rascals.-

1t stated in an official communication

ton that the SueZ Canal, up to the close
of last year, cost the Egyptian govern
ment. in addition 10 the amount of shares
sold to the English government. over S7l,
600 900, about half Of this sum being in

water canal from Cairo to Ismsilis. and
thence TO SueZ. and the use of the SueZ
Canal and the stations on its line. includ-
ing the cities of Port Said, SueZ. and Is
MALTA. This enterprise, so useful to many
nations. and especially to England, was
one of the first causes of the. presenter fl
nancial embarrassment of Egypt Not
witbstanding this great sacrifice in the in
terests of commerce, Egypt to this time
has received no benefit from this canal
stant less. By the passage of all classes
of vessels with their passengers and car
goes directly through the canal considera-
bic commerce is lost to Egypt, and also a
large business in freights and passengers
that would otherwise be transported from
Alexandria to Suez "n the Egyptian rail-
ways. 1t appears from statement show
ing the navigation through the Suez Canal
from Dec. l, 1867. to Dec. 81. 1875, that
the entire number of vessels was 6,275-
the largest numbers being 4,347 English,
