Language Signs.

Foreigners who cannot speak word
of English have hard time of it at the
American watering places, where the
walters cannot-or will Northumberland
even the sign language. A correspondent
writing from Saratoga relates the follow
ing incident: . III
/ / 'There are good many distinguished
foreigners staying at the United States.
Some of them can talk American like
natives, others can just getalong, while
others do not know word Of our Ian
gu age. One of the slast-named kind,
with dusky skin and ahandsome neck
tie, whose name nobody could pronounce
if I should write it, went in to breakfast
one morning and wanted an orange to
begin with. He explained to the waiter
by making circle with both his hands
and then taking knife and making the
motions of cutting an orange in two.
The waiter smiled and nodded that he
understood. In few minutes he returned
with two nice soft boiled eggs. It was
dish for breakfast; why not?"

The international Postal Congress

Assistant Postmaster General 1yner
has returned from the Paris Postal Con
gross. He is accompanied by Mr..
Blackfan, who says the convention was
highly satisfactory, and that all the
changes in the treaty of Berne have been
improvements. The feature of the old
treaty, which was of especial Importance
to us, permitting us to charge special
rates for trans-continenta transportation
OF mail matter, was retained in the Paris
postal treaty through the efforts of our
representatives, though it was omitted
in the original draft. The omission of
this clause would mean the loss of some
$4,000 year to our Government. The
raising of the maximum weight of print
ed matter that can be sent in the mails
from two pounds three ounces to four
pounds six ounces, and the provision
that mail matter the postage on which
is not fully prepaid shall be forwarded.
were important changes. Two proposed
changes, the pensioning of retired Off
Gals in international postal bureaus and
the paying of an indemnity for lost reg
istered packages, were defeated through
the opposition of our representatives

A New Game for Children.

The juveniles have new game called
g Blind Mans Mockery," out of which
they are getting lots of vacation amuse-
ment. One of the party is blindfo]ded,
and while he is counting twenty-five the
OTHERS range themselves as miscellane-
ously as possible in row, and hold out
their hands. The "blind man" slaps
somebody's hands, at the same time in
quiring, "Who are you?" The young
ster slapped rather impolitely replies,
"None of your business" and tie
"blind man " is obliged to guess his
name from the sound of his voice. He
can guess but once, and, if he fails,
must try some one else until he guesses
right, when the one whom he detects
becomes "the man." The game de-
ponds upon quickness of ear, as well as
upon the ability to disguise the voice,
and it shows wonderful difference in
children in both respects. springfield

Drought in Australia.

The intensity of the late drought in
Australia may be judged by the simple
calculation made by the Inspector of
Stock that in New South Wales alone
4,0O0,00 sheep were lost last year from
the effects of dry weather. At least an
other million must be added to the &C
count for the losses of this year, and
for the loss suffered by small holders
and others, who were, for various rea-
sons, omitted from the returns. Thus
we have 100000 sheep, valued at $12,-
100000 at least, destroyed, directly or
indirectly, through the lack of pasturage
consequent upon the drought. In 1876,
the Australian colonies possessed be-
tween them over 45,O0O,000 sheep, Of
which 20, 100000 belonged to New South
Wales. There is reason to believe that
in Victoria and South Australia the eff
fects OF the drought were quite as DIS
astrous as in New South Wales, while in
Queensland they were doubly severe.
1t is not, therefore, too much to estimate
that at least the same proportion of the
focks elsewhere were destroyed as in
Now South Wales, and that in Australia
alone, emitting Tasmania and New Zea-
land, 100000 sheep persisted in a
single summer.

Lecturers.

The lecture business is in the main
managed by two concerns-one in New
York and one in Boston. The latter
makes contracts for concerts and operas
as we'll. The manager says that only
the most attractive lecturers are now
much in demand, and that dramatic
readers find more favor than formerly.
Last year Reecher travelled %, 900 miles
and lectured 139 times. He has already
arranged dates for next season. Wen
dell Phillips spoke 120 times, and, mex
to Beecher and Cough, made more
money than any other lecturer. Mrs.
Mary A. Livermore received $4,000,
and is travelling in Europe to recuperate.
Helen Potter, with readings and jmita-
lions, also did we'll. The greatest sue
cess by new lecturer was that of Col
lector Simmons, of Boston. He talked
about reform" Burdette, the Bur-
lington Haa0k-Eye humorist, lectured
113 times. James T. Fields, Gen. Banks
and Robert Collyer had all the calls that
they could respond to. Theodore Til
ton had his own agent, and is said to
have cleared $4,000.

The Chinese Famine.

1t is estimated that in the famine
stricken districts of China the popula-
ton has been reduced over 5, 1000, 600 by
actual starvation, and the prospect con-
tinues as gloomy as at the beginning.
An idea of the isolation and suffering
may be gathered from the official report
of Gov. Honan to the Pekin Gazette, in
which he says: 'In the earlier period
of distress the living fed upon the bodies
OF the dead; next the strong devoured
the weak, and now the general destitu-
ton has arrived at such climax that
men devour those of their own flesh and
blood. History contains no record of so
terrible and distressinga state OF things,
and if prompt measures Of relief be not
instituted the wholeregion must become
depopulated. Local sources of supply
are entirely exhausted the granaries are
empty and the treasury drained dry,
while the few wealthy people in the
provinces have helped with contribu-
tions and loans till they themselves are
impoverished" ... ..- -s... r

GuYCERINE AS A MEDICINE.

In moderate doses, not exceeding
thirty grammes per diem, which should
be taken all at once, diluted with about
ten times the quantity of water, Catillon
affirms that glycerine improves the ap-
petite and the digestion, and acts gently
on the bowels. He does not recommend
larger dose, but Harnack gave diabetic
patients as much as 1S0 to $50 grammes
daily, in association with animal food,
and found marked improvement in
their general condition, and reduction
in the quantity Of urine sugar and urea
exerted, the latter two results agreeing
with those obtained by Catillon in his
experiments on dogs and on himself
1t is important, however, to notice that
glycerine is poison in large doses.

injurious.

Barnum says that the best investment
he has ever made was the 81, 900 which
he gave 1885, to the Philadelphia ex-
hibitors of Joice Heth, the pretended
negro nurse of George Washington. He
had then lost most of his property, and,
borrowing the amount from his friends,
he made journey to Philadelphia to
investigate the prospect of turning the
old colored woman to pecuniary account.
Satisfied that there was money in her,
he purchased her, cash down; advertised
her SO cunningly that he created great
curiosity to see her, and soon took in
81, 500 a week. After the city had been
gratifed by the sight OF Joice. ne trav-
eled through the country with her, in
connection with a company OF mounte-
banks, and made good deal of money.
This was Barnum's first venture as
Snowman, and determined his career.
He cleared directly, it is alleged, $50, 900
out OF Joice Heth, and Indirectly an i'm
mense fortune. He had not had her
much more than year when she very
ungratefully died, and an autopsy proved
her to have been but rs to 80 years old,
instead of ISL as had been claimed.
Barnum said he had bought her for the
latter age, and had done his best to
make the public believe her so old. It
was her fault if she had fallen short of
what was expected of her by some eighty
years. She might have been 161, no
doubt, if she had wanted to be, and her
failure to attain that degree of veneer
ableness evinced on her part a DISPOSE

A CURE FOR ASTHMA.

Prof. German See has recently read a
paper before the Paris Academy of Medi-
cine, in which he expresses himself very
enthusiastically concerning the efficacy
of iodide of potassium and iodide of
ethyl in the treatment of asthma. He
dissolves 10 grammes of iodide of potas-
SUM in 200 of wine or water, and gives
before each meal, twice day, a dessert
spoonful e or grammes), so that the
patient takes daily Is or Is grammes of
the solution, or 1.8 grammes of the
iodide. After some days this quantity
is gradually doubled. The same doses
may be taken in strip of orange peel.
If the patient become Disguised with the
taste he may take the iodide in waters.
There is no definite time for the du-
ration of the treatment, but gener-
ally at the end of two or three
weeks, when the attacks are miti-
gated or abolished, the dose may be
diminished to a gramme and half
per diem. From time to time the treat
ment may be interrupted for day, but
a longer interruption may be followed
by relapse. In one case patient who
had been cured for year, having given
up the iodide for four days, was again
attacked. Any accompanying cough
may be relieved by the addition of a
little extract of opium or strip of pop
pies; where, when there is not much
cough or catarrh, two or three grammes
of chloral given in the evening assist in
diminishing the dyspnea. The general
result is that a. cT1ra takas p1aoa in al :.

A VALUABLE REMEDY.

DR.. &. F. Waters, of Boston, has
found in the juice of the milkweed a
remedy for suppurating wounds. The
time of healing varied from twenty-four
to thirty-six hours but in each instance
new skin formed completely across. The
doctor states that the only essential
point is to dry the wounded surface
gently and thoroughly with blotting-
paper before applying the milkweed
juice. After the juice is applied, and
while the healing is in progress, a piece
Of blotting- paper is used to cover the
surface.

CURE FOR IVY POISONING.

Many persons are poisoned by contact
with the wild ivy and sumac, and in
some cases the poisoning is very severe.
To such it may be Of interest to know
that DR.. Brown, OF the United States
navy, claims to have discovered certain
remedy for such poisoning. It is bro
mine dissolved in olive oil, cosmoline or
glycerine. He used twenty drops of
bromine to an ounce of Oil, rubbing it
On the affected part three or four times a
day, and washing it off occasionally with

deep an inspiration as possible, and re-

After few natural breaths, repeat the
long inspiration. Let this be done for
ten or fifteen minutes every day, and in
six weeks time a very perceptible in

HOW TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.

DR.. Nichols, who has made series of
dietetic experiments on himself, has ar
rived at the conclusion that, if the
stomach is allowed to rest, any case of
dyspepsia may be cured that the diet
question was at the root of the disease;
that pure blood can only be made from
pure food, and that, If the drink of a
nation were pure and free from stimula-
ting qualities. and the food was also
pure. the result would be pure health.

HAYMAKING.

Across the sunny field she went:
Who is our sovereign lady?
She said, 9 Such days were never meant
To waste in corners shady"
She would not take single nay,
Excusing or denying;
"Come out" she said, 81 and turn the hay,
Because the sun is shining"
Some pleaded letters: "Why, you see,
'Tis mail-day for Golconda!"
Another: +" When I've read these three
Last pages of Deronda.'"
Two miscreants who had slyly fed
(Straw hat and Dolly Varden)
We're captured, lips and fingers red,
Deep in the kitchen garden.
No pleading was the least excuse,
She brooked no contradiction
"The heat you cannot make excuse"
"rhose letters are fiction ~
"You've played lawn tennis half the day,
Than which my work is cooler u
And so, at last, she got her way,
Our most despotic ruler.
She sat our stations row byro
And marshaled us sedately
"See, now, this is the way to go,
The swathes want turning straightiy.
Don't seize your rakes like whips and oars,
Nor drag them limp and lazy"
The haymakers who drank their tours"
In shadow, thought us crazy.
But, not five minutes work was done,
Ere defalcations tried her;
Dicks line and Rates merged into one,
And Jack must taste the cider.
While some would loiter, some would play,
And some would rest already
"Alas !" she sighed, "for all I say,
I cannot keep you steady"
Across the field there swept a tide
Of voices, songs and laughter;
She raked her line with honest pride,
followed silent after.
We left the others far behind,
O'ermastered by the weather,
And finished where the roses bind
The further hedge together.
What made me bold? Some words we spoke
BY chance, or silence sweeter,
While all the summer sounds aWoke
And sang in tender meter.
I only know, my fate essayed,
won her sweet, resigning;
Nor did she blame me that made
Hay while the sun was shining.

The Rush for Public Lands.

= Just now there is a rush for public
lands, thousands coming to the conclu-
sion that it will pay better to secure a
homestead in the West than it viii to
hang around the crowded cities. It is
estimated that the number of settlements
will nearly double those of last year.
This increaseis SO large that it keeps the
office hard at work. The nation, how
ever, has land enough, although the va
rious railroad and other corporations
have gobbled up great deal, to last a
great many years yet. Hartford Times.
