the house was very, much injured, and
rendered untenable until repaired. It
was spring, and I went out Of town; but
that summer I received the following
letter from Jeanette Manchester:

tested its effect upon the parlor carpet,
Mrs. Peters was 80 charmed that she
bought the machine on the spot, and as
soon as the agent had gone she took up
the dining-room carpet, and put it in
the cylinder.
For some reason the machine could
not be made to work, and MIS- Peters,
thinking that there must he something
wrong, took out the carpet and crept
into tho cylinder in order to see If any
Of the fails or brushes were ont Of order.
Suddenly, and without the least warning,
the diabolcal machine began to work.
The cylinder with tremendous rapidity,
and the fails and brushes did .heir
whole duty. The machine could not be
stopped until the clockwork had run
down, and the agent had warranted it
to run for twenty minutes. During that
time tie machine was basily occupied
in removing al dust and sxtraneous sub
stances from the texture Of Mrs. Peters,
in destroying all moths aud other dele
terlous insects, and in impartinga a bea,l-
tifulgloss to Mfs. Peters surface. In
fact, it did everything that the, agent
said that It would DO, but when, four
weeks later, Mrs. Peters was able to. rise
from her sick bed, her first act was to
hire colored man to cart the machine
down to the Connecticut river aud throw
it into the deepest available pool.
In suite Of this impulsive and irritable
conduct on the part fan otherwise esti-
mable lady, the Columbia Carpet-shak.
ing Machine may prove to be all that its
agent claims for it, and may yet be
blessing to the house wife. If women
will have carpets shaken, it is desirable
that they should be well shaken, aud if
this machine really does meet this want,
it ought to gain lasting popularity
among earnest and careful housewives.

A Cure for Cholera.
H. n. siodens in The United ssrvios.l

The cholera-that terrible scourge OF
the human race-was, in 1820-21, COM
paratively a new disease. There is evil
dence extant that it was known in India
more than hundred years ago; but it
seems to have attracted but little atten-
ton until 1918, when it burst out in
the south of India with fearful force, and
spread its devastation in westerly d.
rection, until it ravaged Europe for some
years. Since then it has maintained its
position in nearly all parts of the world,
battling the efforts and confounding the
science of the most able practititiOners.
Whether it was epidemic or endemic
remained q question, and the remedy,
when it seized an individual, was prob
lem difficult of solution. Brandy alone,
or mixed with laudanum, was tried in
the incipience Of the disease Intellectually;
ice, in allaying the burning thirst Of the
sufferer, was more efficacious, but neither
of the means suffced to arrest the rapid
progress of the disorder. Not until 1866
was an infallible cure discovered, and
as that new system is still less
known than such a blessing deserves
to be, Imay be excused for mentioning it.
A DR.. Ribton, who had been practising
for some years in Naples, on the outbreak
of the cholera in that filthy town, ap-
piled himself to the discovery of the sub
stance in the form of drugs that would
have any specific action on the choleraic
poison. He took the ordinary method Of
testing the efficacy of the drugs by bring
ing them into contact with the intestines
Of men who had died of the disease, and
he found that camphor was le nearest
approach to affinity with the poison sup
posed to exist. But the microscope re-
vealed, under the white lining Of the dis
eased membrane, q certain substance OF
an alkaline nature which required an
auxiliary to camphor in its removal. Ac-
cOrdingly after divers experiments, DR..
Ribton hit upon hydrochloric acid, and
by combining it's gas with camphor,
"chloride of camphogen" gave the happy
results. Applied diluted with oil to the
diseased membrane, it at once removed
every trace of the virus. DR.. Ribton
then prepared medicine on the principle
Of his discovery, and the effect was per-
feet cure in every case, though some of
the patients were suffering from the grav-
est symptoms before treatment COM
menced. As much as sixteen to twenty
four hours had elapsed since attack set
in; the voice was gone, the pulse was
thready, and cyanosis had begun.

A Stupid Shah's Stupid Diary.
Whitehall Review.l

The Shah of Persia's "Diary Of his
Tour in Europe" derives all its interest
from being diary Of the Shah. 1t has
no literary value. There is an Herodo-
team simplicity without touch of the
grace and genius of Herodotus. 1t is, of
course, interesting to see what crowned
head says about crowned heads. Evil
IDENTIFY the Shah was received with ex-
traordinary empressment by the En-
peror Of Russia in St. Petersburg, and
when he went to Baden Baden he found
that Menschikof was there aud continued
his friend and intimate. These social
amenities must not be accredited with
any political value. No doubts need be
entertained respecting the genuineness
of the authorship. His Majesty, if we
may say it without irreverence, writes in
somewhat infantile style. He tells us
how he reads the Koran, says his pray
ers, and admires all the pretty women.
There was salvo of artillery when
the Gear drank his health, and in return
he drinks the Cars in glass of sher-
bet. He devoutly remarks: "Praise be
to God, we enjoyed ourselves to-day"
He enjoys the opera, (which consists Of
music, dancing and singing" but COM
plains that it is too long, and retires
early. He spent his time in Paris count
ing the number of vehicles that passed
before his hotel windows in an hour.
He goes to the Exhibition and admires
some oxen that come "from Scotland,
one of the English provinces" "H. R.
H., the English Heir apparent, came to
see me in the morning after breakfast,
and we talked q long time together" He
goes to Fontainebleau and is greatly per-
secuted by an old lady who has to show
the sights; 'shere the old woman gave us
such a long speech that I was completely
tired out, and called out to the soldier to
rum hard and fetch my carriage. Twas
very glad when the carriage arrived and
delivered me from the interminable
speeches Of the old woman" The Shah
possesses the faculties Of wonder and OBJ
|servation, but We search in vain for evi-
dences Of statesmsnship and sagacity.
