Remedy for Dinhtheria.

N. Shishkin, Minister Of Russia to the
United States, sends the following to the
New York Herald:
"There is no harm at this time of year
in reproducing the remedy for diphthe-
ria used in Russia, from the Russian
Minister.
Gin view OF the increase of diphtheria
in several places of the State of New
York, hasten to communicate to you
for publicity a very simple remedy,
which, having been used in Germany
and Russia, may prove effective here.
Out of several others, DIR. Letzerich,
who made extensive experiments in the
application of this remedy, has used it
in twenty y-seven cases, eight of which
were of very serious nature, all of which
had a favorable result except in one
case, when the child died from COM
plication of diseases. For children of
year he prescribes the remedy, for
internal use every one or two hours, as
follows: Natr. benzoic, pur. so solv.
in aq. distillat 3q. menth. piper, ana
40.O syr. cort. aur. 100. For children
from 1 to years old he prescribed it
from to s grammes for 100 grammes of
distilled water, with same sirup; for
children OF 3 to years he prescribed
10 to Is grammes, and for grown per-
sons from Is to 25 grammes for each 100
grammes. Beside this he uses also
with great success the installation on
the diphtherial membrane through a
glass tube in serious cases every three
hours, in light cases three times day of
the natr. benzoic pulver. For grown
people he prescribes for gargling dilu-
ton of 10 grammes of this pulver for 200
grammes of water. The effect of the
remedy is rapid. After twenty-four or
thirty-six hours the feverish symptoms
disappear completely and the tempera-
ture and pulse become normal. This
remedy was also used with the same
success by DIR. Braham Braun and Prof.
Klebs, in Prag; DIR. Senator, in Cassel,
and several others in Russia and Ger

Senator MaiiOne.

Every newspaper reader has heard of
Malone, of Virginia. He is the leader
of the Readiusters and the biggest man
in the State.
While Malone is big man in infiu-
ence, ne is a small man in stature, small
er even than Alexander ii. Stephens,
and weighs less than 100 pounds. He
has the frame of a woman, but the will
of a giant, or, at least, such as q giant
ought to have in proportion to his size.
In his movements he is quick and nerv-
ous. He is about five feet three inches
high, has large, finely-shaped head,
iron gray hair and beard, gray eyes, and
heavy eyebrows, dresses plainly, and Is
about 81 years old.
Malone is self-made man. He was
born in Virginia, and for that reason ex-
erts an influence that one occupying his
position, but born outside of the State,
never could. His education was largely
obtained ut the Virginia Military Insti-
tute, q scholarship in which he won in
a competitive examination. He started
in the business of life as chain-carrler
in a railroad engineer corps. From
that humble position he gradually rose
to the Presidency of a railroad company,
and at one time controlled a system of
railroads from Norfolk to the Missis-
sippi. He was General in the Con-
federate army, and Gen. Robert E. Lee
is reported to have said that I" I would
rather have him, his judgment, sagacity,
and executive ability, than any General
I have. If I should retire from the
command of the army, should recon-
mend Malone for my place" Malone
was the author and executor of the
plan to blow up Grants Notifications
around Petersburg, of which city he is

French Way Of Washing Clothes.

A system of washing clothes in
vogue in some French towns is worthy
of special mention. Its economy is so
great as to greatly reduce the cost.
This is the process Two pounds of
soap is reduced with little water to
pulp, which having been slightly
warmed is cooled in ten gallons of
water, to which is added one spoonful OF
turpentine oil and two spoonfuls of am
monia then the mixture is agitated.
The water is kept at temperature
which can be borne by the hand. In
this solution the white clothes are put
in and left there for two hours before
washing them with soap, taking care in
the meantime to cover the tub. The
solution may be warmed again and used
once more, but it will be necessary to
add a half spoonful of turpentine and
another spoonful of ammonia. Once
washed with soap the clothes are put in
hot water, and the blue is applied.
This process, it is obvious, saves much
time, much labor and fuel, while it
gives to the clothes whiteness much
superior to that obtained by any other
process and the destructive use of the
washboard is not necessary to clean the
clothes from the impurities which they
contain.

Ine PrOnIOgraph.

Another measuring instrument is de-
scribed in the French papers-the "pro-
Telegraph" so called because, when in
use, it traces mechanically on paper the
outlines OF the ground over which it
travels. 1t is small carriage mounted
on two wheels, drawn by one man and
attended by another, who marks the

constant vertical position, while the ma
chine inclines in one direction or the
other, according as it ascends or de-
scends slope. To the upper end of
the rod is fitted pencil, which marks
on sheet of paper the ups and downs
of the country traversed, whether on an
ordinary road or across trackless fields

Crushed Truth in a Rising Attitude.

A stranger, whose whole. appearance
was dead giveaway on his empty pock-
cts, entered an office In Exhange place
and asked.
"Do look like missionary about to
sail for India ?"
"No, sir" was the prompt reply.
"That's right. like people to be
frank with me. Do look as if I could
convert any great number of heathens if
I should turn missionary"
"No. SIR"
sThanks. I see you are a business
man. I'm another. I came in here
calculating to tell you that I was
missionary about to sail for India, and
ask you for a small donation. You
wouldn't have given me q cent, would
you?"
"No, SIR
"That's plump, and it pleases me.
Now, then, I'll tell you the truth. I've
no money, nothing to do, don't want
work, expect to have close rub this
winter, and will be much obliged for the
loan of 10 cents"
"Cant spare it."
"Not even when I tell you the
truth ?"
! mo, slr.
"Then you don't care whether lie or
tell the truth p
"No, sir. I can't see how it affects
me any,"
every well. 1t does me good to find
frank, honest man, and, on the whole,
I'm not disappointed. If you had lent
me dime it would have gone for whisky
and been wasted; if you had believed me ]
should have lied to you. Seems as il
you might recommend me to some one
in the block on whom q pleasant lie
would have effect; but won't press the
matter. Au revoir y Wall Street Daily

Fires in japan,

A fire in Japan is apt to be disastrous
on account of the unsubstantial nature
of the light wood. paper -windowed
houses. One or two steam engines,
maintained by the joint subscriptions
of the foreign insurance companies who
have agencies here and are interested in
property in Japan, and number of old
fashioned hand engines belonging to the
Japanese Government, and managed by
natives, from the fire guard to the for
e;gn settlement and native town of Yo-
kohama. The Hong Kong Fire Insu-
rance Company, being an English house,
provide their volunteers with uniforms of
English pattern-brass helmets for the
officers and black leather helmets trim
med with brass, for the men; blue fan
mel shirts, faced with red, corduroy trous-
ers, top boots and belt, with a hatchet
and spanner on either side. The relief
men wear the American fire hat and red
flannel shirt, but in other respects their
dress is the same as the Victoria. At the
sound of the alarm bell the steam en-
gines are not long in reaching the scene
of fire, and the steady streams from
their hose as rule soon have very per-
ceptible effect on the flame, though at
times tho men have to work unremitting-
ly from night till morning, and when at
last the fire is extinguished the tired vol
unteers draw the engine back to their
houses and retire to the rest they have SO
fairly earned by their labors. After the
steam engines are drawn off the Japs are
left to play on the smouldering ruins with
their hand engines, which, though al
most useless when fire is at its height,
are sufficiently powerful to keep it from
breaking out again. The japanese po-
licemen, though brave and quick enough,
are absolutely worthless at fire. They
jabber and shout like parcel of monkeys
struck suddenly mad, give orders where
they have no right to interfere, and chop
! at windows and doors with their hatchets,
destroying property unnecessarily, where
in most cases it should be saved with no
other damage than would be caused by
the water pumped from the engine. The
uniform of the Japanese policemen, like
that Of all government officials, is of for
eign pattern, and is made of navy blue
cloth, faced with yellow; their caps,
something of the same shape as navy
cap, have yellow band sewed around
them, and brass chrysanthemum, the
crest of the Emperor, is fastened just
above the peak. At some of the fires
three or four hundred houses are burned
to the ground, and as many poor fami.
lies left homeless.

An Editors Reasons.

The pioneer editors of Michigan were
q frank and truthful lot of men, as can be
proven by an incident called to mind in
connection with the name of Mark Will
iams, who gave up his life for better
one not long ago. Mark had paper in
Clinton County. It was wee little
sheet with hundred subscribers, printed
the hnndiest way, and the office was so
poorly supplied that several different
fonts of type had to be used to set up the
reading matter. One day the paper
came out with fierce attack on State
official at Lansing. He was called
robber, liar, thief and various other epi-
thets, and no pains was spared to skin
him and hang his hide on the fence.
About a week from that date Mark sat
smoking beech leaves and tobacco mixed
in equal parts, when q stranger entered.
He was big broad .shouldered man,
with awful fists and O wicked eye, and
he got down to business by asking:
care you Mark Williams?"
"Well, yes, I suppose So" was the
hesitating reply.
"And you run this paper?"
"Well, kinder run it, suppose"
every well. am Mr.. -, of Lans-
ing, the man whom you abused so saw
agely in your columns last week!''
"Noi'
eyes, am, and I propose to give you
the worst mauling Western slanderer

"Say, are you really Mr.. ~" asked
Mark.
"I am, of course am, and while I am
taking off my coat you may give me
your reasons for publishing that slander-
Gus article"
"I had two reasons, sir.

"Well, in the first place, / thought
you were little runt of man, about
four feet high and about dead with the

Tho straightforward confesson should
have saved Mark, but it didn't. The visi-
| tor made dive for him, took out hand
| full of hair. and when the editor jumped
through the only window In his office he
was followed and chased into an old
slashing, where he had to remain hidden
until midnight That incident shaped
his future policy, as he one day ex-
planned:

last thirty years not to abuse man IN

Did Garfield Name Them9

Mr.. Watterson was in Congress with
Gen. Garfield in 1877, hence the follow
ing anecdote in the Louisville Courier
Journal has special point and value.
During one of the sittings of joint
session of the Senate and House In 1877,
when members were huddled together,
higgledy -piggledy, three or four at
desk, Gen. Garfield undertook to relieve
the monotony while the Clerk was read
ing a tedious document, and to amuss
those who happened to be wedged with'
in a narrow compass, with a speculative
Cabinet for Mr.. Hayes. he took a bit
of paper and pencil and divided the
country into geographical districts. He
then inserted in each its appropriate
member of the Cabinet. Thus:

Food and Digestion.

Professor Hawkes., in lecture before
the Woman's Physiological Institute of
Chicago, gave some palpable instances
of widely different results attending the
disposition of brain nutriment in differ
persons. John Sherman, for instance,
after assimilating the truths of finance,
evolved the scheme of specie resumption,
while Gen. Weaver, with access to the
same sort of brain food, evolved the idea
of greenbacks, and plenty of them.
Similarly, one man became Republic
an, while another was known as a Dem
ocrat, and still voted for Andrew jackson.
Mental digestion was involuntary, and
dyspepsia and diarrhea were not un-
familiar attendants of indigestion of both
sorts-mental and physical. The think
ers were affected with mental dyspepsia,
and those who do not think, but allowed
others to think for them, with mental
diarrhea, exhibiting itself wherever they
were afflicted with rush of words. The
Professor enumerated as the chief cause
of Indigestion the peculiarly American
stomachic vice of hurried eating. Good,
perfect digestion might be said to be al
most unknown to the average American.
What with rapid eating, lack of sufficient
sleep, and want of rest, nature had no
adequate provision for such extraordinary
expenditure of nervous force. Ordinarily
some men swallowed as much in ten
minutes as it would require three-fourths
of an hour to eat, and the result was not
only that they ate too much, but the
food which they took into their stomachs
was ENTHUSIASTICALLY masticated, and
the stomach given duty to perform
which properly belonged to the organs
or mastication. These unnatural drafts
on natures forces must, unless checked,
tell sooner or later on the general health.
The bolting of food was almost universal
in this country, and second to no other
cause in producing indigestion. The
use of liquids during q meal was all
wrong. for the reason that it tended to a
disuse of the organs of mastication,
while plenty of liquid before and after
meal was not only proper, but beneficial.
Nothing, however, should be taken
into the stomach that was either
| hotter than the blood or colder
than the atmosphere. Unnecessary
dessert, eaten when the appetite was al
| ready stated, was another evil, while q
still further cause of Indigestion lay in
the growing practice of indulging in
hearty 6 o'clock dinners. The Professor
admitted, however, that for certain
classes of business men, such as bankers,
board of trade people, ETC., a MONDAY
dinner would practically amount te
suicide but for people who could eat o
hearty dinner in the middle of the day
and who were in the habit of retiring
early, an evening dinner was wholly
inadvisable, for the reason that it al
lowed too little time for digestion
Coffee drinking was duly deprecated as
both needless and injurious to health
and reform in the directions indicated
was urged as the only remedy for the
great American evil-indigestion

Churches as Savings Banks.

There are in the city three penny saw
ings banks in connection with churches.
They belong to st. Andrews, st. James
and All Saints. The banks receive any
amount, from cents upward, but do
not encourage the depositing of large
sums, the object in view being to pro-
mote habits of economy among the
poorer classes. Trustees and officers
have been appointed for each bank, the
former being responsible for all moneys
received. The bank is kept open every
Saturday evening from 7 to 8. A COM
mittee Of twelve manage the institution,
giving their services gratuitously. Any
amount from 2 cents upward may be
deposited, per cent interest being al
lowed on every even dollar from the day
of deposit to the day of withdrawal
