Novel Treatment Of Group.

According to Les Mondes, DR..
Durodie has successfully treaSd a case
of Group, in a child 7 years old, by
scraping the larynx. The method is to
introduce rapidly the left index finger
into the pharynx, SO as more surely to
reach the upper laryngeal opening
then, with the right hand, a piece OF
curved whalebone is introduced, having
a small piece of spongeixed at the end,
soaked in tepid water. After three OF
four movements up and dawn, the in,
strument was quickly Withdrawn, this
being done three different times at each
seance. The sponge was covered each
time with debris of false membranes
The instrument has a reflex as well as
a mechanical action, causing spasmodic
movements, which provokes the eiec.
ton of the false membranes. The chile
RAPIDLY recovered.

REST FOR HEADACHEs.-Dr. Day
says, in a late lecture: Whatever be the
plan of treatment decided upon, rest is
the first principle to inculcate in every
severe headache. Rest, which the busy
wife and anxious mother cannot obtain
so long as they can manage to keep
about, is one of the first remedies for
every headache, and we should never
cease to enforce it. The brain, when
excited, as much needs quiet and re-
pose as a fractured limb or an infamed
eye, and it is obvious that the chances
of shortening the seizure and arresting
the pain will depend on our power to
have this carried out effectually. 1t is
a practical lesson to keep steadily in
view, in that there may lurk behind a
simple headache some lesion of un-
known magnitude, which may remain
stationary if quietude can be main
tanned. There is a point worth attend
ing to in the treatment of all head
aches. See that the head is elevated at
night, and the pillow hard; for, if it be
soft, the head sinks into it and becomes
hot, which with some people is enough
to provoke an attack in the morning if
sleep be. long and heavy.

Puns.

Punning has come to be one of the
fine arts-in the estimation of some.
As many newspaper readers may think
it strange that the ~supply.of puns keeps
up so well, we submit a rough calcula-
ton.
Number of words in the language
capable of two puns, $4,000; number of
one pun, 10000; two-word puns posi-
BILE, 100000; phrase puns, ditto, 10000
Total pu2s possible, and indeed prob
able, $4,000. This would allow about
1000 puns aweek for three years, or leo
a week for thirty years. Then we must
take into consideration the fact that a
good pun is stolen, slightly transformed,
and made to do duty over and over
again. Furthermore, after a few years,
a new set of writers will be in the har-
ness, and In the exercise of their yoca-
ton will honestly perpetrate as original
puns which went the rounds of the press
years ago. On the whole, the outlook
is gloomy. We advise readers of news
papers to cultivate resignation.-Bing-

IT will do no harm if American boys
read this little story two or three times:
While a youth of ID vas playing with
his fellows he ran against the stand of a
poor, dilapidated apple-man, and came
very near tipping his treasures into the
gutter. He instantly raised his hat and
politely asked pardon for the affront.
When asked by his mates why he lifted
his hat to a poor old cripple, he re-
piled: II didn't do it because the ap-
ple-man was a gentleman, but rather
because I am a gentleman"

HOME DOCTOR.

TANNM will cure canker sore mouth
by applying dry three times a day.
DYsENTERY.-The following is a trans
lation of a receipt for the cure of this
complaint, which was published by the
physicians of Spain in the gazettes of
Madrid during 1910: "Prepare a
draught of albumen by taking the
whites of forty eggs or more, and, after
whipping them well, sweeten the same,
if necessary, with a small portion of the
best double-refined sugar. Let the pa
tient drink large quantities of this re-
peatedly, insomuch as to fill his stom-
ach, administering oysters of the same
as often a possible. The patient nust
maintain a total abstinence from diet of
any kind. In a few hours after the pain
will abate, and in twenty-four hours the
disease will disappear; if it does not, it
will be sure to disappear in ~forty-eight
hours, provided the patient repeats the
draught as usual. The addition of a
few drops of orange-fbwer water is
highly beneficial"

Ex-Governor Seymour.

A Utica, New York, special gives an
interview with Ex-Governor Horatio Sey-
mour. The reporter asked if he would
accept the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency, if such a course seemed
necessary for the party success. He
said:
Gas for myself, do not think there
is general disposition to nominate me,
nor do think it would be wise to do
so. For many reasons should not be
strong candidate, and what l have
said in regard to myself in answer to
numerous invitations to make an ad-
dress upon political or other subjects,
would, Of itself, be a good reason
why should not be elected if nomina-
ted. While my name is spoken Of,
do not consider it anything more than
one of the speculations of the day in
time Of political uncertainty. In the
face Of what have said, it is absurd
to suppose that l shall be nominated.
l have no idea that shall be nominated
by any convention for the Presidency,
even if sought for the nomination. l
should be guilty of self.complacsncy,
which would be ridiculous if l thought
a great party were anxious to make nae
a candidate against my wishes. Even
in that improbable event l should do
my friends very great wrong if should
go upon ticket with knowledge that
| was not the right man to be placed in
that position" Regarding the New
York Democracy he said: "a union is
so clearly demanded by the interests of
all the members Of the party that it is
result no one can question. Just now
both parties are discouraged" Fur
thermore, he said the work of reuniting
was the work of disposition, not Of
method, and in reply to whether or not
he would act as arbiter, said: ~ prob
ably shall not be called upon"

Lake without Wafer.

About fifteen miles northwest from
Reno, to the right of the Susanville
road, lies the bed Of an old lake, which
is different from anything to be- found
elsewhere. The lake could never have
been more than eight or ten feet deep,
as the bottom is very fiat. Instead Of
being the ordinary sandy soil which
washes in from the banks, this bed is
more like india-rubber than earth. 1t is
of grayish color, quite tenacious, and
has a hard, smooth surface, over which
a carriage runs smoothly along as it
would over carpeted floor. The ma
terial is somewhat elastic, and would
make a race-courss where St. Julian or
Rarus would trot a mile in about two
minutes. The farmers in the neighbor-
hood have given the place the name Of
Alkali Lake, though there has been no
water there for twelve years. The Cal
ifornia line runs just west Of the lake,
and the Susanville road cuts across a
corner where it is quite dry and FREQ
from mud. The wheels out in after a
time and create very fine and pene-
trating~ dust.

Lean Year in Law.

The Supreme Court Of Indiana has
afforded principle in respect to the
computation of time which is likely to
prove of serious trouble to bankers and
others. 1t is that the 29tn day Of Feb
ruary and the 2sth day Of February are
to be computed as one day. The ques-
ton becomes Of special Importance now
that leap year, lss0)is so close at hand.
To illustrate, suppose that note be
drawn on the 2Sth day of February,
A. D., 1881, at one day after date. If
the 2Sth and 18th be counted as one
day, then the note would mature on
the 4th day Of March, but otherwise on
the Sd. If on the Sd, clearly protest
on the 4th would not hold the endor-
sers. Vice versa, if the rule Of compu-
tation be to count separately the 2sth
and 10Th of February, the protest on
the 4th would be of no avail. The ques-
ton in Indiana was suggested by the
fact that there being ten days previous
service of process necessary for judg-
ment, and the cause having been begun
in the last leap year, 1878, the process
was not served in time, if the 2Sth and
10Th days of February were to be COM
puted as one day. and therefore the
court held that they must be so count

SRiSs Nc tOO.'

In the paint shop of the Michigan
State Prison, is man called Jim, doing
a life sentence. Up to last spring he
was regarded as desperate, dangerous
man, ready for rebellion at any hour.
He planned general outbreak and was
"eiven away" by one Of the conspir-
ators. He plotted general mutiny or
rebellion, and was again betrayed. He
then kept his own counsel, and while
never refusing to obey orders, he obeyed
them like man who only needed back
ing to make him refuge. One day in
June a party Of strangers came to visit
the institution. One was an old gen
tleman, the others ladies, and two OF
the ladies had small children. The
guide took one of the children on his
arm, and the other walked until the
party began climbing stairs. Jim was
working near by, sdlky and morose as
ever, wnen the guide said:
"Jim, won't you help this little girl
up stairsY"
The convict hesitated, a scowl on his
face, and the little girl held our her
hands to him and said:
"If you will Iguess I'll kiss your"
His scowl banished in an instant,
and he lifted the child as tenderly as
a father. Half way up the stairs she
kissed him. At the head of the stairs
she said:

What the old Gentleman Feared.

What the Old Gentleman Feared.
An old codger, in his latter life, had
become much infatuated with natural
history, and as he had ample means
wherswith to procure specimens, his
dwelling became, in time, perfect mu-
scum, and very interesting one at
that. He had taken to himself a Sec
ond wife-apretty woman-whose chief
recommendation to his favor had been
that she was dear lover of art, and
also versed in the preparation and
mounting of specimens, her father hav-
ing been a professor in large and
we'll appointed college. If you would
ask how the old man regarded his speci.
mems, we can best answer by telling
ing this story.
He had been married four or five
years to his fair young wife and she
had never given him any cause for
complaint. If she was, upon occasion,
rather more free and sociable with GER
tain gentlemen who frequently called
to examine and admire her husbands
wonderful specimens, he did not notice,
so no harm was done. At length, on
bright summers morning, as our scien-
fist came in from bivouac in the
woods, where he had been watching for
parent 0wl, he was met by a servant,
wild eyed and frightened, who tried to
tell him something that seemed to stick
in his threat.
"Open your mouth, you rascal !"
cried the master, Selling him by the
arm, and shaking him. What has
happened"
"Oh, master! A man came to your
house last night, and got into the
chamber window by ladder, and car
ried of"
"Speak Speak," yelled the old man,
shaking his servant furiously, while
his own face was the very picture Of
mortal terror.
"What-what did he carry away 7"
ooh He--he-carried away your
wife, sir!"
The old scientist let 60 his servants
arm, and drew long, deep, reviving
breath.
Was-was-that all p
"Yes, sir.'
"You rascal You came near fright
ening me out of my senses. l feared
the villain had been robbing me of my
specimens %
