and early application of the remedies
above suggested, there is no need of the
disease proceeding to a fatal termination,
or even to the facilitating illness and
painful authorizations which go together
in its later stages.
AS to the origin of diphtheria, the
weight of testimony is that it belongs to
the class of filth diseases, but further
than this its source is not clear. Fami-
lies which would be scandalized at the
suggestion of untidiness are attacked,
while others of filthy surroundings escape.
This simply shows that our sense of clean
illness needs cultivation, so that we may
discriminate between what is offensive to
the system and what is offensive to our
falsely-educated tastes. The farmers

busted parlor or the preternaturally-
scrubbed floor are the essentials of neat

The Sort of Man for a Husband.

DICKENS said of the following anecdote:
" You must know that l have appro-
prated that story and acquired immense
reputation by it!' 1t occurs in paper
of "reminiscences in Scri6asr's for Octo-
Der, entitled "A Yankee Tar and His
Friends: On one of Capt. Morgan's
voyages from America to England, he
had under his care a very attractive
young lady, who speedily distinguished
herself by reducing five young gentle
men to the verge of distraction. She
was quite ready to marry one; but what
could she do with five? In the embar-
rassment OF her riches she, sought the
Captain, who, after few moments
thought, said: {" Its fine, calm day;
suppose, by accident, you should fall
overheard; I'll have boat lowered ready
to pick you up, and you can take the man
who loves you well enough to jump after
you" This novel proposition met the
young lady's views and the programme
was accordingly carried out, with the
triting exception that four of the young
men took the plunge. and, being picked
up by the boat, presented themselves a
dripping quartette upon the ships deck.
The object Of their undampened ardor,
no less wet than themselves, fled to her
state-room and sent for her adviser, the
Captain. Now, Captain" cried she in
despair, "what an l to do?" "Ah, my
dear" replied the Captain, if you want
a sensible husband, take the dry 0ae"-
which she did.

Handle the Colts.

The horse submits to mans authority
for the reason that he is made to believe
man is the stronger, He is kind and
tractable from being treated kindly and
handled lovingly. What horse is once
taught, no matter how Young, it never
forgets. When the colt is running by
its mothers side it can best be taught
valuable lessons. Mans strength can
then easier overcome it. The more you
talk to and handle a colt, the more it will
know and the kinder it will be. No one
should ever permit a colt to have the
mastery in strength, consequently small
boys should not handle them until the
colt is entirely subdued in this respect.
Nor should q colt be ever hitched or led
by a halter which ne can break. If he
once learns he can break his halter it
will take years to cure him of the fault,
if it is ever cured. But by kind hand
ling and playing with them--which any
one can enjoy who has heart within
him-they will ever after be easily caught,
kind in service and more trusting in dan
ger or difficulty. Now is the season of
the year to attend to this matter. When
the colt comes about you never abuse
him, but with kindness educate famil-
iarlty with him. Thus he will be always
gentle and easily adapted to any work
There will be no trouble breaking such
colt. He will naturally take to it. BY
being treated viciously the colt can also
be learned mean tricks and vicious hab-
its.-Iosoo Register.

Treatment Of Diphtheria.

The papers begin to notice the out
break of diphtheria in various localities
to an extent that interferes with the
schools and produces general alarm. The
rural districts, where new methods of
treatment and new remedies make slow
work, are more excusable for the preva.
lence of this terrible disease, but it is
extraordinary that it should gain the
mastery of the medical profession of a
city like Providence. Although after a
certain stage the disease Geties remedy,
it is well known in the best medical cir
Giles to be very docile in its earlier stages.
1t is remarkable that the profession do
not take more pains to disseminate the
latest methods of treatment of diseases
which stagger the average physician.
Even estate medicine" devotes itself al.
most exclusively to the discovery of the
causes and source of disease and very
little to it's remedies. This is rational
method of procedure, we admit; yet, as
this process of the extinction of disease
is rather roundabout and at best expert
mental, it would seem advisable not to
slacken the application of known rene
lists.
Diphtheria is disese which springs
from the growth of real fungus on
some of the mucous surfaces of the
system, more generally of the throat. 1t
may spread by contagion of the mucous
surface of a diseased with those of a
healthy person, as in kissing, and is to a
limited degree epidemic. From the 10
cal parts affected it spreads to the whole
body, affecting the muscular and nervous
system, vitiating The lymph and nutrient
fluids, and producing paralysis. AS soon
as the vacterium or fungus appears in
white patches on the throat, it should no
more be neglected than a bleeding cash
or broken arm, and there IS almost as
little need of fatal termination of one
incident as of the other. 1t has been
found by actual experiment, both in and
out of the human system, that this vac.
terium is killed by several drugs, the
safest and most certain of which is
chlorine water, diluted with the addition
of from two to four times the volume of
water. This wash is harmless, even when
swallowed, and is pretty certain to ar
rest the disease. A well-known physi-
clan in this city, who has pursued this
treatment for fifteen years, has found it
effective almost without exception, and
had in that period often broken up the
disease in localities where it had ragged
violently and defied treatment Prior to
its use, he lost three cases out of six,
but has since used it with scarcely fail
ure during the aforementioned period.
The recent great cyclopedia of Ziemssen
on the practice of medicine gives the
highest place to this method of treat
ment. To keep the patient well housed
and warm, with additional flannel cloth
ing if necessary, and to keep the bowels
open, are matters Of nursing often neg
lected, but, with care :in these respects,

changes having lost valuable animal
from this trouble. and having another
whose case had been given up by an attend
ing veterinary surgeon, thus gives the
result of his own treatment. The ami
NAL under treatment was jersey calf
six months old, and the bloating was
caused by too free diet of apples. He
thus describes his mode of treatment
and it's results, and at the same time
shows the benefit of using common
names for common things: While
thinking what could be done, I remem-
bered that Mr.. Flint, in his Dairy Farm
ing had given remedies for this kind of
attack. Turning to his book, found he
prescribed chloride of soda, or chloride
OF lime, three drains, dissolved in pint
OF water, and poured down the throat
The latter / did not have in the house,
and SO ignorant as not to know that the
former is common salt. did find BIZ
carbonate of soda, used for cooking pur-
poses. Four good teaspoonfuls of this
ut being less potent than chloride of
soda or lime) put in a pint of water
and poured it down the Calls throat very
gradually and carefully. The liquid was
scarcely down when the animal was
partly relieved, and in ten minutes she
was lying down, breathing easily, and
the swelling half gone. gave her an
injection of old soft soap, in lukewarm
water; she rested quietly through the
night, and at morning feed-time was
well. l should suppose that any de-
cently-read man in dairy matters would
know this remedy given by Mr.. Flint in
his most excellent work although he
might say common salt instead of chic
ride Of soda, and teaspoonful and a
half instead of three drams), but did
not remember, and others may not; two
good veterinarians did not know, and l
have not met a single farmer about here
who does. For this reason write this

communication this correspondent states
that the probe failed to give relief, and
hence we may infer that 1t was bad
case. -PhiyadeLphia Times.
