Strange to say. the President and his advisers,

power To execute the laws. The language OF
that Instrument IS that the President OF the
United States may call upon the militia o. the
several States 10 execute the laws. There Is the
power given to him for the execution Of the
laws: not the army, unless Congress says So,
but tue States, because the Constitution so pro-
yides.
Never for an instant did our bills interfere
with the power of the President over the

Curious and Fatal Disease Among
Northern Girls.

NEW YORK, July 14th.-The Sun saws
During the past week a novel and singular
disease has manifested itself among the girls
employed in LOrillard's tobacco factory, Jer-
sey City. Wednesday last, May Hosey, aged
nineteen, who was working in the steaming
department, complained of terrible pain in
her side -She fell to the floor unconscious,
and was carried to her home in ambulance.
She was seized with violent commissions, and
while these attacks lasted the combined
strength of four men was required 10 hold her.
Thursday and Friday several other cases OF
sickness with similar symptoms occurred in
the factory. On Saturday no less than thirty
four Others girls were taken sick in the same
department. All displayed the same symp-
toms-a pain in the side, followed in almost
every case by Inconsistencies, commissions,
and finally hysteria and collie. The physicians
are now making the disease a special study.
rumor Is circulated 10 the effect that the
girls who were taken sick had been working on
some tobacco that had stored in a Southern
city during the prevalence of the yellow fever
last summer, and that the sickness was occa-
stoned by the liberation of germs of that dis
ease which had impregnated the tobacco.
The report created the widest excitement in
the families of those who had been afflicted.

About Presents.

1t is hardly necessary to say that UNI
married ladies should not accept pres
ents from gentlemen not related or en-
gagged to them, as every well-bred per-
son is aware of the fact, There is a
rule to the effect that, in presenting a
book to friend, the name of the one to
whom you give it must not be written
in it unless requested. Thisrule is better
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance when the giver of the book is
its author. Our tokens of love, says
Emerson, are, for the most part, bar
barous, cold and hfeless, because they
do not represent our life, The only
gift is a portion of myself Therefore,
let the farmer give his corn, the miner
gem, the sailor coral and shells, the
painter his picture, and the poet his
poem. Mere costliness does not consti-
tute the soul of present; it is the
kind feeling that it manifests which
gives its value Those who possess no
bic natures do not make gifts where
they feel neither affection nor respect.
Their gifts are bestowed out of the full
ness of kinds hearts.

What Food Children Need.

DR.. c. H. Allen, in the Western
Rural, states some important facts in re-
gard TO the food, growth and health Of
children:
Mothers should be familiar with the
laws Of growth. Some children are fat.
and others are lean. They may he, or
may not-be, hereditarily 50. Leanness
does not mean poor health, nor does fat
mean good health. The condition ofthe
lean does not usually imply bad feeding.
The well are sometimes thin of flesh
and in want of strength. Still. nutriti-
Gus food has tendency to properly fat
ten. Oatmeal Is often urged as fatten-
ing food. 1t fattens some children. but
by no means all. We should consider
what each child needs. Some may need
milk. 1t is the best food for some, who
can digest it, and fit il for absorption.
Milk was made expressly for the young
est members of society. 1t has the ele-
ments that contribute to infant growth.
1t has fat, sugar, casein. and several
salts dissolved in water, and so supplies
the means of forming bones, flesh, brain
and every other tissue Sugar is more
needed in the earliest DAYS of infancy
than at any later period OF life Casein
is in less abundance at the outset. If
We wish TO select food peculiarly fitted
for any given children, we must con
slider their special and individual wants
1t is Il science well worth the mothers
study to know exactly what each child
needs. She wishes to make her weak
ly child look plump and strong.
The health of youth depends very
much upon the health and growth Of
early childhood

A Plea for Smoking Husbands.

A lady writes as follows to a Western
newspaper: ''Make a home a home,
and make it one in every sense of the
word Ny husband is great smoker !;
he loves to play cards, dominoes and
chess; he is at liberty to smoke in any
room in the house, and | am always
ready and willing to join him in the
different games. ! endeavor in every
way to be not only helpmate, but a
companion to him, and the result has
been that | have and enjoy his society
he prefers passing his evenings at home
with me to seeking other society. l
cannot understand why women will run
the risk of losing their husbands society
and love merely for the sake of crafty
ing an over-fastidious taste. IF they do
not like tobacco, did they object to his
using it during the days of courtship?
And if they objected then and failed,
why did they marry? If men will not
give up such habits at the solicitations
of their sweethearts, it is not likely
they will be persuaded out of them by
their wives therefore l think it unwise
for woman to risk her happiness by
guarreling with her husband over a
fault the existence and extent of which
she knew and perfectly understood be
fore she took upon herself the duties of
wife"

Miss Lawrence came along, and taking

the vacant saddle, ran down the wild
steer, threw her shawl over its head just
as it was about to gore the child, and
taking advantage Of the confusion Of the
beast, rode up to the child, and, with
out leaving her saddle, reached to it and
lifted it into her lap, and then carried
it off in safety. This was not only a
genuine act of heroism, but an exhibi-

ROBERT e. PILLOW, son Of the late
Gen. Pillow, lives on an Arkansas plan
tation. A few days ago he and one of
the coiored men were out hunting a
wild hog. Pillow had gun, and the
negro had armed himself with a pint
bottle Of whisky. The hog was shot,
and just as Pillow went up to the with
ing animal, an immense .'cotton-mouth"
snake, whose bite is as fatal as that of
a rattlesnake, fastened its fangs on the
calf Of his leg. Pillow turned to his
companion and remarked: Il think I'll
try little of that whisky now, whisky
being considered good remedy. He
poured every drop down his throat.
Then he rapidly walked to the house,
half mile distant, where he drank three
tumblers more of whisky He was
soon in what he calls g Niagara Fall

the poison and saved his life.

TREATMENT FOR SUNsTROKE.-In New
York hospitals the modus operandi is
nearly the same, and about as follows 4:
The patient as soon as taken from the
ambulance is first laid on rubber cot,
the clothes are wholly or partially re-
moved at once, and then the body is
do''cted from a watering pot filed with
moderated y cool water, This operation
is continued until the temperature has
been reduced to a nominal condition.
Should this fail, however, to reduce the
heat, ice water is at once substituted
and the patient is drenched from head
to foot. If not too far gone before
reaching the hospital, either Of the
sprinklings usually diminishes the heat
of the body to the required standard
and the patients life is saved

"Run for a doctor and a glass Of
brandy, quick" cried a red-nosed man,
slightly overcome by heat and so forth,
on Pawtucket avenue, Sunday after
noon. Good Samaritans started off in
answer to his appeal in every direction,
when they were rounded to by an addi-
tional cry, Don't too many of you go
for the doctor and not enough for the
brandy. guess you better all 90 for
the brandy first and for the doctor af-
forwards" They all looked upon the
old humbug, who was thus presuming
upon the best impulse Of humanity, and
then left him alone with his thirst
under a shady tree.
