JAN ALREADY.

omoAoo, ILL.,, May 28.-People arebe.
ginning to arrive from every direction Of
the country to attend the National Con-
yention. All the rooms In the hotels are
engaged, and what the thousands who are
yes % come will do e something nobody
knows. Private houses will be thrown
oman TO a great extent, OF course, but only
FOR persons having friends in the city, and
there will be hundreds OF visitors thrown
upon cold and unieeling city, unless
they make up their minds 70 take a cot In
one oithe numerous cheap lodging houses.
The Lake Front will probably be gener-
ally patrOnized, II weather permits, while
large number OF visitors will be accoma-
dated with tickets for sleeping under the
yiaducts and sidewalks. Any Of the places
last mentioned would be preferred TO the
apartments which will be given to the late
visitors in the second and third class ho'
tells.
It is impossible to soy what the first
class hotels will do, but the general i'm
preston prevails that for q period OF o.
least forty.eight hours, or rather iron
noon on the first day OF June until noon
on the third day Of June, Chicago will mo-
have any frst.class hotels; they will b.
transformed into lodging houses, bu: they
will not-they can not-be included
under the head Of cheap lodging houses
Anything but that. For instance, for
cot on the sixth floor In the Palmer
Pacific, Sherman or fremont the visitor
will have to pay 81, S. or SO, according t
the market value Of the same.
Ifthese hotels are crowded, 81 will b,
charged; Il they are badly crowded, 8
will Be charged, and ifthey are - badl!
crowded, 50 will be charged. On the lowe
floors, OF course, the charges will be high
err. In other words, the lower you are tn
higher you pay. 1t is anticipated that oil
the day Of the convention there will be, q
the least calculation, $1,000 strangers IL
the city. Every man in the city Is anxiou
to get into the Exposition building, AM
as every one OF the visitors has made u
his mind to get In, snd as the amphitbe ,te
will hold only 1900 spectators, II will b
seen that some few persons are likely I
be disappointed.

Boston Street. Cleaning.

Boston, the best-kept city on the con-
tinent, probably, has no trouble with
the disposal of offal or cleaning the
streets, while New York is always in
scandal over these comparatively-simple
municipal problems, and even smaller
cities are sometimes embarrassed. The
Boston swill-system is a very pretty
thing. The city has three ofal-yards,
into which all the offal is gathered,
houses being visited twice in week win
ter, three times in summer, and hotels
daily. The driver Of each cart drives
upon a platform scale at the yard and
receives ticket for the amount of his
load he is paid at the end of the week
according to the tickets he surrenders,
which show the work he has done. But
the most interesting point for Spring
field is that from these depots the offal
is sold to farmers for pigs and for fertil.
izer for from $500 to Sc a cord, accord
ing to the distance they have to cart it.
At the Charlestown yard Sc a cord is paid,
although even from that point the farm
ers must cart it from three miles up
ward. The farmers come for it in close
wagons, and pay cash at the Office in
each yard. The removal of ashes en-
ploys 121 men and ffty-nine carts upon
a similar system, and the ashes are sold
for filing at from to 25 cents a Load

Prof. Rell,s Luck.

Prof. Alexander Graham Bell has re-
ceived the Volta prize Of the French
Academy Of Sic, 900 for the telephone, as
"the best application of electricity. :"
He values the prize chiefly, as he says,
as settling the question Of the real in
ventor. He will cross the water to ac-
cept it in person, and soon return to lee
ture in the Johns Hopkins University at
Baltimore. The photophone he regards
as at present only scientific toy, but SO
was the telephone at first. He thinks it's
future use will be between ships at sea,
wrecks and the shore, and for military
communication. He announced the pos
sibility Of producing sound by interrupt
ing the action of light on selenium to the
Royal Institute of Great Britain, in May,
1878, and heard just after an announce
ment by Willoughby Smith to the Soci-
ETY. Of Telegraphic Engineers that he
had heard the action of ray Of light on
crystal of selenium by q telephone in
connection with it. He had been expert
menting that day with the photophone,
and its action was satisfactory to the sci
entific men present. Any one familiar
with the articulation of the telephone
could understand it. Prof Bell was born
inScotland, educated at the University OF
Edinburgh, and came to Canada in 1870,
and to chair in Boston University in
1S72.-Sp7'inafeld Republican.

Drinks for the Sick.

The sick, especially those afflicted
with fever, often suffer from intense
thirst. The quenching Of this without
injuring the patient is a matter which
requires knowledge and good Judgment.
DR.. FL. 81. Kane says that plain water,
when taken beyond a certain amount, is
very apt to disorder the stomach and
bowels, especially in fevers, where much
fluid and but little solid food is taken.
Enough water to quench the thirst
would certainly be enough, In most
cases, to disorder digestion, or rather
further disorder it, and so important is
the little that remains of this function
that we cannot afford to abuse it.
Small pieces of ice held in the mouth
and allowed to dissolve sometimes an
swer the purpose, but not in the major
ity Of cases.
Up to a certain point, the action Of
water taken internally, in fevers, is ex.
cellent. Aside from allaying irritation
by quenching thirst, it Pushes the kid
neys, carrying off much of the efete
material produced by the high tempera-
ture.
It has been found that the addition OF
certain substances to water greatly in.
creases its powers to quench thirst.
This is especially the case with acids.
One drachm of hydrochloric acid added
to quart of water will give it sufficient
acidity to accomplish the desired pur-
pose, while at the same time it adds to
its pleasantness. and sometimes relieves
nausea.
The use OF acids in fevers is highly
commended by some authors, and this
is, think, the best way in which to adj
minister them. The same amount OF
sulphurous acid may be added to quart
of water when the bowels are loose or
there is tendency that way.
In these cases calculated barley-water
is pleasant and nourishing. The same
may be said Of toast-water.
In constipation, oatmeal water may
be used in the same manner. A few
tamarinds added to glass of water will
often assuage thirst and open the bow
els gently.
Theory and experience both show
that drinks made slightly bitter and
somewhat acid Stake thirst most effect
ually.
A weak infusion of cascarilla or orange
peel, calculated slightly with hydro;
chloric acid, was with Graves, of Dublin,
a favorite thirst-allaying drink for fever
patients.
Raspberry vinegar is useful drink.
Sucking ice is very grateful.
Sweet fruits, although at first agree
able and refreshing, must be taken with
care and moderation, for they often give
rise to disagreeable taste, and are apt
to produce fatulence and diarrhea.

Lost His Shawl.

A gentleman returning from Europe
bought very handsome and expensive
shawl for his wife. It cost between
So, 900 and SIS, 900, and he was naturally
DESTROYS of avoiding the disagreeable
necessity of paying several hundred dol
lars more in the shape Of customs duty
On board the vessel was an exceedingly
attractive lady, to whom, when they
were in sight Of land, he confded his di-
lemma.
Why, my dear sir" she said naively,
that is no dilemma at all. I will wear
the shawl ashore, and then no questions
will be asked"
The gentleman paid a glowing tribute
to the wonderful fertility of the feminine
mind and accepted the offer. The shawl
graced the lady's shoulders, and was
certainly very becoming. The trunks
were examined and passed with that mys-
terious chalk mark, without which no
baggage can receive the benediction of
Uncle Sam, and then the gentleman sa-
luted the lady, spoke of the pleasure he
had enjoyed in her company, hoped they
would have the pleasure of crossing the
ocean together again, and then asked for
the shawl.
81 beg your pardon" she said, "but
what shawl do you refer to-"
He naturally answered:
"Why, the one you have on, to be
sure"
"And why should give you my
shawl?' she inquired.
In word the dialogue waxed so warm
that she threatened to call policeman
unless he desisted, and, since he could
not legally claim the shawl without con-
victing himself Of deliberate attempt
to swindle the Government, he was COM
PEELED to leave with the fair stranger the
present which he had intended for his
wife.

A DOnkey's Deep Grief.

Newspapers have often told storie
about the affection that dogs, horses
and other animals had for each other,
but we have never heard of a jackass be-
ing accused of any such tender senti-
ments. It is now our duty to record
the faithful love one donkey had for a
companion who had shared his lot for
SO long. w. D. Wasson went out to
Tioga district on prospecting expedi-
ton, taking two jacks along to pack his
blankets, tools and provisions. In COM
ing down the mountain one Of the long
cared freight transporters fell over a
precipice and broke his neck. The
other frightened the birds and the CO.
MES in their burrows with the sound of
his lamentations Mr.. WATSON tried to
coax the grief-stricken mountain barge
away, but the donkey only lifted up his
voice and wept, and would not be COM
forted. Then he essayed to drive with
sticks and stones the noisy beast from
the scene Of his lament. But drive he
would not. The donkey remembered
how he and his beloved companion had
foraged together from handy clothes
lines had in friendship masticated
fence-posts and sections of barb-wire,
and had contentedly nibbled such tender
morsels as old gunny sacks and cast-off
overalls, or had assuaged keen hunger
with old boots and oyster cans, and
could not be induced to leave the spot.
The cruel master beat him terribly; still
his grief nerved him to obstinacy. The
master felled two or three large trees on
his back, but to no purpose. Finally,
the master, in despair, took the pack off,
and left him with dead. The last seen
o him he was eating the cropping Of a
quartz-ledge and weeping for his friend.
