LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, December 29.-Publicity
has just been given to the English note
to Russia, mentioned in these dispatches
December 10. Turkey having asked
England to act as mediator, the latter
addressed a note to Russia asking her
what would be her terms for peace. This
note was sent the day after the early
session of parliament had been called,
and, though ten days have passed, no
answer or even acknowledgment has
been received from Russia. The London
press regards this step as
GRAvELY IMPORTANT.
which will tend to calm the fears which
have been exciting this country, and
HOLDS OUT HOPES
that the dreadful war may be brought
to close more quickly than by the
shock of battle.
The Daily Telegraph, a Turkish organ
says: "' Mediation and warning, these
are the subjects which have lately alb
sorbed the attention of her majesty's
ministers"
The Daily Nears says: "By its present
action our government has taken upon
itself the character of all lntercessor tor
one unfortunate belligerent while acting
also officiously for Europe; but it has to
harmonic this new character with the
declarations which it has repeatedly
made, and with the whole course of con-
duct, of which the least that can be said
is that they have not prepared the world
for the part it has now undertaken to
play. BY its own deliberate acts the
Queens government has separated itself
from the rest of Europe, and the reasons
for thisseparatist policy
HAVE NOT BEEN CONCEALED"
Russia has not yet replied to this note,
and Vienna dispatches state that moth
ing more than formal acknowledgment
of its receipt will be sent.
In Berlin, England's offers of media
ton are scoffed at as only another name
for intervention. The National Zeit,ng
has an emphatic, almost violent, article
against the English maritime policy gen
orally in the Mediterranean, and against
Lord Beaconsfeld's Eastern policy. 1t
rejects absolutely any community of
interests with England.
THE WAR SIDE.
1t is stated on good authority that in
English military circles war is considered
almost inevitable. Arrangements are
complete, and regiments allotted for an
army of 1000 men, and steps are already
taken toward the formation of nucleus
for reserve army. Profound uneasi-
ness prevails here, and there is great de-
preston in trade and finance.

The Halcy0n Days.

From the New York Tribune,
How many of our readers remember
that these are the veritable halcyon
days of the year? The kingfsher, bird
beloved of God, according to our fore
fathers, lays her eggs on the sea on the
10th of December, and for fourteen days
calm prevails. The sun warns her and
the waves rock her until the young are
hatched and take wing; when the storms
are let loose in renewed fury. Plato or
Socrates themselves would have seen a
ship sail in this enchanted season with
faith that it would reach its harbor
safely. Old Probabilities gives US differ
ent reckoning of the weather just now,
and takes no account of the gods or
birds. We are lucky, no doubt, in hav-
ing sense and Old Probabilities Every
school boy knows more of the conditions
of the universe and its Maker than did
Plato. But after all, we have lost some
thing; there are no birds beloved of God,
upon the water, nowadays, and no Platos
upon land; and who believes in halcyon
days? or hopes for them9

NEWS OF THE WEEK,
REBELLION IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

The Star and Herald, of Panama, says:
"a rebellion broke out at Panta Arenas,
which the governor was at first entirely un-
able TO quell, and which was organized
solely fore the purpose of exterminating g
Capt Guizalde, the chief of the garrison.
The rebels, after cruelty assassinating the
captain, set fire to the building, including
the hospital, with all the patients in it, stole
1000 from the treasury and robbed all the
commercial houses. In the confusion they
were killing each other. OF the houses
composing the colony, only about half re-
main standing. The total number killed is
forty, with fourteen wounded.

Dovai, few days before the termination of
the crisis, conferred with several generals on
such an eventuality. The Franco declares
that troops at Versailles and elsewhere near
Paris, were provided with large supply of
cartridges, and that many officers drew up
their designations on receiving orders TO be
in readiness TO march.
The Alsace-Lorraine provincial COM
mittee passed resolution expressing the
wish that Alsace-Lorraine should receive its
own constitution as a federal state and have
representative in the federal council of

fatal accident which occurred a few
DAYS ago. The victim is the child of
Mr. Fred Haentz, the gardener, residing
On Linden street, and the circumstances
of the occurrence are that few days
ago the little one was at play in the
house, having in its hand asharp-pointed
stick. The child fell in such a manner
as to run the stick into its mouth, the
point penetrating through the roof and
nearly into the brain. Medical aid
could give but little relief to the sufferer
until death came and ended its existence.
The afflicted family have the sympathy
of all in this terrible calamity"
THE Chippewa has been raising quite
fast for the past three or four days and
/ this morning was nearly four feet above
| low water mark Fears for the Golfer
| dam at the Dells have been entertained,
and this morning were realized. The
contractors have had a crew working
night and day for several days and had
/ kept it growing up faster than the wa
ter, but leak was sprung this morn
! ing, which though small at first, soon
grew beyond control, and about one-half
of the dam was carried out. The dam
| had been built across the river some 300
feet, and within 30 feet of the opposite
shore. The face of the dam at this point
was protected by what is known as a
horse dam. The leak was first discovered
at this point, a few minutes before ten
this morning, and in a short time after
wards about Is feet of the dam
was washed out The balance still
remains but will probably follow
the rest. Messrs. Mc1ntire & Co. esti-
mate their loss at from 81 200 to 1900.
They will not try to rebuild the Golfer
dam at present, but will wait till the
river freezes. In the meantime they
will carry up the walls of the lock and
finish that part of the work. As soon as
the river closes a large force will be put
upon the main dam, and the work car
ried on as fast as possible.-Eau Clare

The Art of Prolonging Life.

Persons living in marshy districts,
says the Baltimore Underwater, who
are necessarily exposed to miasmatic ex-
halations, will find that lime juice mix
ed with water and taken freely as bev-
erage, will prove an excellent proven
tive OF material fevers. Those who are
suffering from intermittents will find
that the antiperiodics, which are cheap
er than quinine, the great type OF the
class. will answer as good purpose If
taken in the only proper way, that is,
full or even heroic dose one hour before
the expected recurrence OF the chill.
When distributed throughout the inter
mission in very small doses their
effect is all lost and disappointment
follows.
The medical gentlemen who so care
fully prepared the tabulated reports OF
the mortuary experience OF the Mutual
Life, of New York, have shown in their
admirable analysis OF the causes OF death,
that the proportion of loss from con-
sumption has been 1917 per cent. OF the
total mortality of the company, and 10
per 10000 annually. Such figures show
the immense importance OF more cfiec-
tive methods OF treatment, and we are
glad To observe in the Medical Record
the details CT treatment that, so tar,
has been very promising in its results.
The theory OF cure is to clear the lungs
by mechanical effort, chiefly by manip-
ulating the muscles OF the throat so as
to cause more forcible breathing; second,
to establish perfect digestion; third, to
promote process OF healing the tuber-
cles, so that they shall become chalky
or calcified masses; fourth, to compel
the patients to take plenty OF fresh air
sunlight, and outdoor exercise. To Sc
cure perfect digestion, special diet Is
ordered in each case, and the food is
changed as the power OF assimilatlng 1t
improves.
TO promote the calcifying OF the tu-
berclcs, the salts of lime, which are found
in most vegetable and animal food, must
be supplied in soluble condition; the
theory is that to much heat in ordinary
cooking destroys the natural combina-
ton OF these salts with albumen, and
renders them insoluble to weak diges-
ton. Outdoor exercise is regarded as so
importantthat the patients are instructed
to 20 out in rain, snow, dampness, or
even hight air or dew, the habit thus ac-
quired neutralizing the danger OF catch
ingcold from such exposure. Only strong
head winds and extreme hot weather
need be guarded against. The patients
sleep with their windows open, summer
and winter.
\ Minneapolis physician, whose Gin
chona recipe for the cure OF drunkards
recently attracted attention, recon-
mends this highly carbonaceous mixture
in the treatment of consumption: One
half pound finely cut up beefsteak
(freshJ; one drachm pulverized char
coal; four ounces pulverizcd sugar; four
ounces rye whisky; one pint boiling
water. Mix all together, let it stand in
Il cool place over night, and give one to
two teaspooniuls, liquid and meat, be,
fore each meal. The value OF this method
Of supplying a sutliciency OF carbon in
form that may be readily appropriated
is obvious.
