A self-Sacrificing Buddhist.

An account comes from Foochow.
in China, of a Buddhist priest who is
burning himself up, inch by inch and
finger by finger, hoping by this slow
course Of self-martyrdom to be sure Of
everlasting felicity. His method is
to apply Iigature to the finger he
intends to destroy and then to burn
the end Of the member off in the flame
of a candle. Already he has disposed
Of two or three fingers aud a thumb
or two and expects by Christmas
time to make burnt offering Of one
of his arms up to the elbow. This
will be followed early next spring by
the consumption of the other arm as
far as the shoulder 1t il supposed
that he will then begin on his toes

and consume himself upwards. It is
to be presumed that this patient en-
thusiast has an abundance of time on
his hands, and is in no hurry to reap
the reward Of his suterings. His
practice is on the same principle as
that of the man who chopped his dogs
tail off in five sections of one inch
each, SO as to do it gradually and
without making too sudden an i'm
preston on the animal, rather than
by severing it at one chop. An i'm
proved method of operation on the
part Of this priest would be to thrust
his head into the FIRE and be done
with it.

LET OUR RESOURCES BE KNOWN.

this Territory ought to have an lmmI'
grafton society, and there is abund,
ance of proof 10 sustain our position
ashington Territory and Oregon
both have such organizations, which
have rendered great assistance IN at
tracing emigrants to the extreme
!. Northwest. They have taken par
ticular pains TO inform the people OF
the East as to the richness of their
section, but Idaho lies dormant As
an evidence of their success, hundreds
Of people have passed through this
Territory, and no inducements could
be brought to bear to get them TO
settle among us, as they had started
for what they had been informed was
the paradise of the West. Had we a
society to spread information among
those wishing to come West OF our
vast and rich agricultural and graz
ing lands, with good markets, our pop
ulation would increase rapidly. When
emigrants start for any particular sec
zion they will not stop till they get
there, no matter how good country
they are obliged TO pass through.
Could we get a share of the people 10
start for this country, they would stop
and settle when they arrived here.
Anything that advances the interests
of the Territory at large IS to the in-
terests, indirectly if not directly, OF
every person among us The leading
men Of Idaho could easily form an i'm
migration society if they would take
hold Of the matter. They ought to
look enough to the interests Of the
country To make some move in the
matter, and now is the right time to-
90 it, As the Legislature meets dur
ing the coming winter some aid could
be procured from the Territory, which,
with contributions from private ci'i-
zcns, would enable an association ID

Medical Record that be has found spe-
ciiic TO the troublesome eruption produced
by the poison oak or poison ivy so COM
mon in our woods and along old fences.
This specific he finds in bromine, which
hc has used with unvarying success in ct
least forty eases. lie uses the drug dis
solved IN olive oil, cosmoline, orglycerine,
in the strength of from 10 to 20 drops OF
brominc to the ounce Of oil, and rubs the
mixture gently on the affected parts three
or four times day. The hromine is so
volatile that the solution should be re-
newed every twony-touC hours. The
eruption never extends after the first thor
ouga application, and it promptly disap-
pears within iwcnty-four hours if the ap-
plication is persisted in.

According to the Lancet, at a recent
meeting OF the Academy Of Sciences of
Lomhady, G. Polli reported the results of
numerous experiments in which beer,
NEST, eggs, blood and urine were treated
with boracie acid and borax for thirty
Gays during the summer time, and were
found still to retain their freshness and
topresent 10 traces of fermentation having
taken place IN them. Ia experiments, on
the other hand, without the addition of
the salt, but IN some cases with the addi-
ton OF sulphate of soda, the fluids passed
into state of complete decomposition in
the course OF fifteen days The energetic
diSlniecung power possessed by boracie
acld and borax, and the facility with
which these substances can be absorbed
INTO the economy, led PolIi to recommend
their use in diseases in regard to the in
fictitious nature Of which no doubt exists
OF In which septic conditions readily
arise. He adduces several EXAMPLES in
which the febrile conditions OF tuberculo-
SIS underwent diminution. No benefit
vas obtained by Professor Yisconti from
experiments made with these remedies in
malaria, though ether observers have or
rived at different conclusion. In chron-
lie cysuuS. the muco-purulent discharge
quickly diminished, and even altogether
disappeared In the course of a few davs.
and rapid improvement occurred in cases
OF bad suppurating when they were ap-
phed externally. The dose recommended
by Polli Is IS grains OF boracic acid and
100 grains OF borax per diem.
