DR.. Bushnell at Home,

First among my recollecsions Of my
father are nay daily after-dinner romps,
not lasting long, but mos. vigorous and
hearty at the moment. No summit has
ever seemed 80 commanding as his
shoulder, where VIC rode proudly,
though sometimes carried about at
what seemed dangerous pace.
Thanksgiving-day was always a day
OF special and rare frolic. After the
sermon had been given, and the turkey
and pumpkin pie had been disposed Of,
father and children Joined in UNIQUE
and Joyous celebration, whose main fea.
ture was the grand dance, in tie course
OF which my father would occasionally
electrify the children by taking a flying
leap over their heads. Those who had
wrestled with the knotty heads of the
mornings discourse, to the subsequent
detriment of their dinner, would have
been amazed could they have seen the
joyful antics by which the minister
promoted digestion. The frolic some
times reached mad pitch, ut in it my
father never seemed less dignitied tina n
In the pulpit, and we always realized
that it was an honor to have him play
with US.
A playful use of the faculties seemed
ever to present its ideal side to him,
and it was thus that he joined with his
children o. in the free self-impulsion of
play; which il to foreshadow the glo-
rlous liberty Of the soulS,ripe order and
attainment in good.' Thus he made of
our childhood paradise of nature, the
recollection of which bshind us might
imagine to us the paradise of grace be-
fore us.-LVe and Letters Of Horace
Bushnell.

Some Sharp Sayings of DR.. Bush

Some one told him that the citizens of
Hartford would surely erect statue of
him on the Park, and inquired where
he would choose to have sdch n statue
located. He stopped, looked all about,
and then, pointing with his cane. said,
down under the bridge yonder!"
He disliked to hear the singing in the
church criticised in sny manner of
levity. Some needless remarks pro-
voked him to exclaim, cts worship!
and you might as we'll criticise the gait

sins of the people!'

Bushnell slid in this query, 81 wonder

ad absurdum precipitated the meeting
into fit of laughter which could not
be checked, but ever and anon broke
forth, so as to pretty much smother all

People Who Lave Near the Pole.

The Roman correspondent of the
Philadelphia Bulletin, speaking OF the
Cinkici, remarkable people discov-
cred by the Swedish explorers of the
North Pole region, says: The people
found there were not precisely savages;
they were clothed (roughly, perhaps),
but they were clothed in skins of rein
deer or seal. Their costumes might
not perhaps suit Partisan taste, but it
was adaptable to their climate. 1t is
composed of reindeer skin stockings,
lined with cider -dowE; reindeer or
seal-skin boots reaching to the knees;
and under these, again, reindeer or
sealskin trousers, over which are worn
in extra cold weather other trousers
lined with fur; and then tunic, coat OF
blouse of the same materials, reaches
to the knees, and, according to the
weather, several of these are worn one
over the other. For the head they wear
cap to match the rest of this charm
ing costume, and this cap is tied under
the chin like a baby's cap. Finally
they wear over their chests kind of
bib of sealskins, which bib they draw
over their faces when the air threatens
to bite the noses.
The very fashionable people of the
country fasten tails of animals to the
edges of their coats. This is to show
that they are rich, as their riches con
sist in reindeer, some families possess
ing as many MS one hundred thousand
of these animals. The ladies wear the
same costume as the gentlemen, which
gives them strange awkward walk.
However, as a little distinction, they
wear their hair in two long plaits ut the
side OF each cheek and their neck and
back are bare. 1t seems that the cold
has less effect on them than on their
lords. 1t is true that when they have
young children they carry them or
their backs, and that shelters them
Both men and women are short of
stature, but stout and wonderfully
strong, and they can walk for miles
with burdens on their backs, which We
Europeans could not even lift. Theil
faces are large and broad, and they
have no foreheads. In this the womeI
would be quite the fashion in Europe
where the ladies do all they can to con-
ceal their foreheads by the aid o
bangs" and all the other accessories
that can be obtained at first-cl hail

Treatment for SMALLPOX.

There is no medicine which can
check this disorder; when once taken
it must go through its regular stages,
and nothing will cut short or cure it.
The patient should be at once isolated.
The diet should be light, consisting of
milk, tea, Cruel, beef-tea, chicken
broth, etc. The hair should be cut
close, as it is impossible to brush or
comb it after the pustules have risen.
Great pains should be taken to venti-
late the room without having too much
draught, and it should be kept at a
temperature of 60 dogs. Scrupulous
cleanliness must be observed, and all
linen, clothes, ETC., must be disinfected
after being used. Carpets and hang
ings of any kind must be dispensed
with. Flour, starch, or arrow.root
may be sprinkled abundantly over the
face to relieve the itching and discom-
fort, and to absorb the acid discharge.
Olive oil, cold cream, and glycerine
and water will also relieve the patient.
when locally applied. To prevent
pitting keep the light from the patients
face, either by covering it with piece
of something black-say silk, with holes
cut for the eyes and nostrils, or by
keeping the room dark. Covering the
face is better than darkening the
room; it is more convenient for the at
tendants, and has better effect upon
the skin. The part of the body COW
cred with clothes is scarcely marked in
comparison with the parts exposed-as
the face and hands. Smallpox is
dreadfully infectious; no one, there
fore, must be allowed to come in con.
tact with anything which the patient
has touched until it has been carefully
disinfected. The room in which the
patient laid must be thoroughly fumi-
gated before being used again. In
smallpox the pits can be entirely pre-
vented by covering the pustules as
fast as they break with . coating of
colsodioA, liquid cuticle, sold by all
druggists.

1t is reported that the sanitary con-
dition of Washington is in most de-
plorable state. A vast marsh close to
the borders OF the city, filled with
refuse matters and the drainage of the
city, poisons the air in all directions.
The streets are not properly cleaned,
and garbage is allowed to accumulate
for days in succession. As a natural
consequence malaria abounds, and
threatens to become an epidemic. 1t
is national disgrace that our national
capital should be in such condition.
