Plan ofTreatment for Yellow
Fever.
A Formula which can be Fol
lowed without "a Doctor.

Memphis appeal of yesterday; We
have been requested by Judge p. Il.
Scruggs, and many others, to repub-
lish the following formula Of treating
yellow fever, as telegraphed by n st.
Louis physician on the LIST lust:
Put the patient in a cool, hard bed
in a well lighted and well ventilated
room; keep the head constantly cool
by repeated spongings with water
from 40 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit;
keep the feet constantly warm by
bottles of hot water. AS soon as
nausea begins relieve it by copious
draughts of warm water. This must
be repeated whenever the nausea is
distressing. A thick towel, folded
and wet in cold water, and laid across
the stomach will also give relief.
Eyacuate the bowels by full inlec-
tons daily of tepid water until the
fever abates, using a fountain syr-
ingc whenever one can be obtained,
A loose crash towel should be doub
led, wet in tepid water and worn over
the bowels constantly until the pa
tent is convalescent. Cool down the
BODY to as near the normal heat as
possible by repeated spongings with
tepid water. When the fever is high
est apply the pour bath to the head
as follows; Place the patient across
the bed, his head over the side OF it,
face down. Put a tub beneath and
puor cold water, say 40 degrees Fehr'
enheit, over the top of the head from
the crown forward. Continue this
from twenty to thirty minutes, OF
until the temperature is lowered
Give this bath two or three times a
day, or as often as the fever requires
As soon as the fever abates, and the
crisis is over, stop all heroic treat.
ment, and let the patient rest. Give
no medicine or stimulants OF any
kind, and no drinks except water Oh
sour lemonade, without sugar. The
patient should eat nothing during the
fever except a thin water Cruel, made
with cornIneal and Il little salt. Lem.
on juice, in water, without sugar
should be used freely during the fe
yer. After the patient is GONZALES
cent he must eat sparingly OF the
plainest food; such as a little bread
and fruit. This treatment can be
carried on by any n without the ale
tof a doctor, and in this regard Is es-
pecialiy adapted to poor people who
have not the means to employ medl
cal aid, and for their particular bone
fit it is given.

The Mining Business.

1t is found, says the Chicago Tribune
that golden sands" exists in Georgia,
the Carolinas and Virginia. Geolo-
gists furnish opinions that the aurifer-
Gus lodges run up through New Eng
land. Vermont farmers begin to dig
for gold, and q Newburyport (Mass.)
silver mining company actually pays
dividends of u per cent. per anhum.
A company of New York and Boston
capitalists have bought an old mine in
Chill, forty miles north of Valparaiso,
and are going to make it pay dividends
on So, 600, 900 of stock. A surprising
number of Chicago men are investing
in Colorado and Utlh mining sites.
Mining quotations and items are now a
regular part of the news of the daily
papers. Millions of people this morn
ing can see that Sierra Nevada, which
three months ago was selling at So a
share, is now up to $l67, and thous-
of them will pay the passing tribute of
Il sigh to the easy calculation that an
investment ninety days ago of $1,000
would have melted them over $4,000.
This leaven is working, and it will
take only a little more time and Il little
more skillful manipulation to stalt the
country into Il Pacific bubble specula-
ton.

DlBRELL EXPOSED
Why he Defends the Wits
kew Dealers.

The following from the New YORK
Tribune explains why Gen. Dibiell de-
tends the outlaws and Illicit distillers
of this section.
at will be remembered that among
the members of Congress who took
strong grounds against the Commits
sioner OF Internal Revenue in his con-
test with the Illicit distillors Rcpresen-
tatiye Dibrell, of Tennessee, was the
most active. He busted himself for
some time in trying to ecure the re-
mOyal of Il deputy Who had shot a man
who fired upon a party of Government
officers. The reason for his activity in
this respect has just been exposed. A
short time ago his son WAS arrested for
Illicit distilling, was arrigned, pleaded
guilty, and bound over to await the
action of the court.

The Reason why.

Col John W. Forney, one Of the
most Obscvant aud reliable correspond
ents Of the American press, explains
the reason why the French nation so
easily pass through financial crisises,
which would Dc much more severely
felt in other countries. He says:
"The amount Of money that France
is pledged to expend to relieve her rail-
roads aud to build other public works,
will reach the enormous sum Of n
thousand millions Of dollars ia ten
years. This is tile amount paid 10 the
German rs Il war penalty by the
French people; and paid cheerfully
without being much felt by the lat
ter.
''The secret of this fairly fahUiOu3
wealth Is, of course, the YER econO-
my of all Glasses in France; hut there
is another cause. The Frenchmam al
ways puts his reserve cash into the
Government loans. HeLce the greedi-
ness with which these loans are taken
by rich aud poor. 1t is needless for me
to refer TO the disaster that have over
taken many Of the savings banks of all
descriptions in the Uuited States, the
result clearly Of shrinkage of their real
estate investments, Of the palatial es-
adjustments in which to transact their
business, and of colossal salaries to
their luxuries and idle officials. But
our Government has at last found a re-
lief and 4 rescue for the plundcred
poor of our country in Offering to take
the money of the people at four per
cent. in small sums. This is the French
system; and this it Is that enables the
! French Government to relieve the dis
tress of the French people by giving
them employment in hard times. 1t is
their own money that gives them work;
it is their own money that deyelOpes
their country. They have to pay for
pdldCCs III MIlCll W h'SP NhNh N"'h
ings. They have to contribute no roy
al largesses to idle officers, who too Of
ten take for themselves what they are
paid to save Tor others. The republic
in France, or the republic in the Uai-
ted States, guard what they contide 10
its care without cost, and returnS them
their interest, twice Il year, without
discount or reduction. Such a govern
ment is like Il great fortress built upon
a rock. Mr.. Sherman has realized the
force of these opinions in the eagerness
of the American people in taking the
four per cent. loan, and the American
people are at the same time reaping
the reward of their confidence in il
| protective tariff which has educated
| them to manufacture all they want fol
| the mselyes, without depending on
Gritain, and. at the same time getting
gold and silver in return for surplus
productions, which Great Britain must
have.

The Republican Candidate for
Governor.

DR.. E. NJ. Wight, who has been nom
inaten rs the Republican candidate for
Governor in this State, and who has
accepted, is sound on the question: in
which the people Of this State are now
so virtually interested. lie stands
suuarely on the platform adopted by
the Republican State Convention, on
that question, lie believes that rcpu-
diation in any form is dishonesty. He
is willing to accept any concession our
creditors may make, bnt does not be =
lieve in a forcible REIMBURSEMENT of the
debt without regard to their wishes.
lie will make a bold canvass in favor
of honest government. He will occupy
a position that will command the re-
spect and approval of every State credit
man in Tennessee, be he Republican or
Democrat. lie fully recognizes the
Importance of II fair and square fight on
this issue. Judge Marks will proba-
bly, dodge and equivocate, as he does in
platform, but he will have to be an
"artful dodger' indeed il DR.. Wight
does not make him face the music.
This is no child's play, and our can
didate so recognizes it. lie is an I'M
ninching, un~yielding Republican, but
he makes this contest not so much as a
recognized champion of State credit
As we have frequently stated, the issue
is honesty VS.. dishonesty ap4NpM
Wight will take the side of

FOREsHAD0WING.

know, my friend,
We never have been lovers, but when we
Of these sweet summer hours shall find the end,
And there shall be
A courteous close to all our pleasant speech
When you go out into the hurrying crowd,
To battle like a warrior iron browed
For all the worldly blessings which you claim
Wealth, power and fame
Things which do not crave and cannot reach
wonder if your heart will be the same,
Will beat as even and TRANQUILITY
Away from me?
If, when you find poor separate life once more,
Twill be as whole and happy as before?
1t may be So
Ambition has broad leaves, which overgrow
The feebler heart plants blooming small and low;
And yet, I think
When time, or change, or both, have snapped tn,
link q.
Which holds us meier SO lightly heart to heart
When you have found out new and pleasant ways
From these apart
Have loved fair women, and have known great men
Perhaps grown great yourself, and tasted praise;
Despite the rosy ties which bind you then
You Will look back to these tame, quiet days
With dim, strange pain
And happily in your dreaming think of me
Half mournfmly
all surrounding witcheries
Seem dull and vain,
And beauty's smile, and f1attery's ministries
Lose, for the time, their hold on heart and BRAIN
"Ah, me! how little she was like to these!
Would could look upon that face again."

Po1soN.-One day gentleman in India
went into his library and took down a
book from the shelves. AS he did so he
felt a slight pain in his finger, like the
prick OF pin. He thought that pin bad
been stuck by some careless person in the
cover OF the book. But soon his finger be-
gan to swell, then his arm, and then his
whole body, and in a few days he died. 1t
was not pin among the books, but a
small, deadly serpent. There are many
serpents among the books nowadays. They
nestle in the foliage of some of our most
fascinating literature; they coil around
the flowers whose perfume intoxicates the
senses. We read, we are charmed with
the plot of the story, by the skill with
which the characters are sculptured or
grouped, by the gorgeousness of the word
painting-we barely feel the pin-prick of
the evil that is insinuated. But 1t stings
and poisons us. When the record of hui
man souls is made up, on what multi
tudes will be inscribed, s'Poisoned bv the
serpents among the books!"

DON'T SCoLD.-For the sake of vour
children, don't do it. 1t is great mis-
fortune to have children reared in the
presence and under the influence of a
scold. The effect Of the everlasting COM
planning and fault-fnding of such persons
is to make the young who hear it unami-
able, malicious, callous-hearted; and they
often learn to take pleasure in doing the
very things for which they receive such
tongue lashing. AS they are always get
ting the blame of wrong doing, whether
they DO it or not, they think they might
as we'll do wrong as right. They lose all
ambition to strive for the favorable
opinion OF the fault finder, since they see
they always strive in vain.

How TO MEASURE THE HE1eur M
TREEs.-When tree stands so that the
length of its shadow can be measured. it's
height can be readily ascertained as fol
lows:
set stick upright,-let it be perpen-
dlcular by the plumb line. Measure the
length of the shadow of the stick. AS the
length of its shadow is to the height of the
stick, so is the length of the shadow of the
tree to it's height, For instance: If the
stick is four feet above the ground and it's
shadow OF the tree is ninety feet the height
OF the tree will be so feet; (e:4:: 80 6ol
In other words, multiply the length of the
shadow of the tree by the height of the
stick, and divide by the shadow of the
stick.''

=. 10 Keep HAMs.-An exchange says :.
'Ihe best way to keep hams through the
summer is to put them in thick paper
sacks such as millers use to put flour in
made OF thick Manila paper; wrap the ham
In several thickness of old paper of anv
kind to keep the moisture from strikino
through; tie up tightly, first twist the ton
around well, and then hang up anywhere
The ssy will not find its way into the ham
The paper is strong enough to hear tho
weight of the ham,
