ALEXANDRIA, Oct. 81, 1879.
The creditors of the Egyptian government
have not seized the Obelisk, but threaten to do
so. 1t seems there is no court in Egypt OF
Competent jurisdiction to issue writ for the
seizure Mariette Pacha, who has charge of
the Egyptian monuments, opposes the re-
moval, and urges tho French Consul to
protest to the Khedive on the ground
that such removal would be a vio-
lation of the convention between Egypt and
the European Powers, by which it is provided
that no Egyptian monument or work of art
shall leave the country. Commander Gorringe
Yesterday hoisted the American flag over the
obelisk and surrounded it with guard of
policemen from the Consulate. He declares
that he will resist with force any attempt to
interfere with him. Consul General Farman is
expected to arrive Oh the French steamer due
here on Tuesday.

DR.. Day says, in a late lecture: Whatever be
the plan of treatment decided upon, rest is the
fret principle to inculcate in every severe head
ache. Rest, which the busy man and the anx.
ions mother cannot obtain SO long as they can
manage to keep about, is one of the first reme-
dies for every headache, and We should never
cease to enforce it. The brain, when excited
as much needs quiet and repose as fractured
limb or an intiamed eye, and it is obvious that
the chances of shortening the seizure and ar
resting the pain will depend on our power to
have this carried out effectually. 1t is Il prac-
teal lesson to be kept steadily in view, in that
there may Turk behind q simple headache some
lesion of unknown magnitude which may re-
main stationary if quietude can be maintain ed.
There is q point worth attending to in the
treatment of all headaches. See that the head
is elevated ut night, aud the pillow hard; for
if it be soft, the bead sinks into it aud becomes
hot, which, with some people, is enough to
provoke an attack in the morning, if sleep has
been lOug and heavy.

Physicians say that every kind of cold, bron-

complaints are remarkably prevalent now.
Sensible people ought to reflect that nine
teuths of these troubles arise from preventable
causes. Wet feet are probably the first cause
Of good many of them. There is no excuse for
any one who catches cold from wet feet Over
shoes are cheap, and in this climate they ought
to be worn all the time between the LIST of No

Ward Bcecher ascribes his robust health mainly

cause il overheating and bad ventilation indoors.
The lungs, parched and poisoned in the honse,
are in i'll condition TO breathe cold or moist air
out of doors. Carbonic-scid gas puts them in
state of incipient inflammation before they meet
tho fresh air at all. Attention to these simple
dictates of common sense would prevent, we

disposition; and in the latter class of cases the

The Care Of Y.une orchara.,

We sometimes see young orchards that stand
year after year but make no progress. There
is q little growth but it is not healthy, and th Q
trees look scrubby and dwarfed, and after .
while, if they do not die oct entirely, Whatever
of fruit is borne will be correspondingly imper-
feet. What is the troublef Why, the trees
have had no care; they were not properly set
ont in the first place, and then they were left
to shift for themselves. Weeds were allowed
to grow up around the trees SO thick that the
genial rays of the sun could not penetrate the
earth and start the roots to growing; storms
came and washed the earth from the roots ;
Suckers or sprouts started up and absorbed th Q
life-gving substance that should have gone in
to the tree; limbs were broken off by cattle !;
the trees were bent over; destructive insects
took up their abode in the orchard rabbits nib
bed the bark in winter. This is why the orch
ard did not flourish. The young orchard re-
qures about as much care for the first two or
three years as does growing crop Of corn
