There is little need of physic where
children are well cared for, well clothed,
and wen fed. If laxative be needed,
either teaspoonful of magnesia may
be mixed in the pap, or little fluid mag
nesia administered, but remember that
magnesia too often given is apt to form
connections of dangerous
character. Castor-oil warmed, so
as to make it run easy, is
sometimes good, the only objection to
its administration being that force is
required, and ! know by experience
that a child win sometimes struggle so
against swallowing medicine az to cause
itself mischief. Syrup of rhubarb is
another harmless aperient, and one
which will not weaken the child; but,
after all, the less medicine you give,
the better, unless the child be actually
fevered, and then it is time to send for

4 Rich Literary Prize---0ver 100000
to be Divided Between the Competing
ESSayistS..
Pail Mall Gazette.

1t would appear that the House of
Lords has protited neither by the eX-
perience of the recess nor the prudent
counsels Of Lord Beaconsfield, and
that the majority of the Peers are IA
imprudent this session as the last. The
opposition of the Duke of Richmond
and the imposing phalanx of Peers who
obey his summons has suficed to in
duce the Upper House to throw out the
provisional order for the utilization of
the Burnett literary fund. In 1888
John Burnett, an Aberdeen merchant
left the third part of t e rent on some
land in Kinadie TO provide every forty
wears for prizes, to be awarded by pub
lie connection, to the authors of treat
ises proving the wisdom and goodness
of the Deity. The sum thus accumu-
lated amounted in 1854 to f2.40O, when
II was declared with truth to be the
richest literary prize in. Europe. AT
present the clear annual revenue of the
fund amounts to ego. As sc, 500 will
be available for distribution in 1894,
and as it Is manifestlv absurd to pay
E3, :l50 each for a couple of prize es-
says. the Endowed School Commission
ers of Scotland reported in favor of the
suggestion for the trustees of tranform-
ing the trust So as to make it available
for founding lectureship at Aberdeen
university on 1.-The history of religious
thought, with special reference to
Theism and the sanctions of morality"
Orthodoxy took alarm. Ten out of the
twentv-onc professors of the university
petitioned against the provisional order
emhodying the scheme of the Trustees
Only seven could be found to petition
in its favor. The Duke of Richmond
whipped up the Conservative Peers in
suppo OF the pious founder" and
thus it came to pass that a scheme for
utilizing wasted educational endow-
ment was thrown out with contumely,
Lord Granville not even venturing to
take division on the subject. In
1894. Therefore, $4,000 will have to be
given away to the successful authors OF
a couple OF prize essays, which no one
save the unfortunate adjudicators can be
expected 10 read. The rejection of the
provisional order is only trifle, but a
straw shows how the wind blows.

THE DREA1IEg.


4 dreamer sat in a pensive mood
Idly thinking Of fame
While baseless fabrics Of jov to come.
Ger his want0n visions came
He built and built till his yolaptuous mind
Grew sick Of his vain desires.
And the weary mind forgot to think
In the lust Of Fancy's fres
4 worker toiled in a MONDAY sun
With steady iron viii
Resolved to follow the primal charge
Which all should 'er ful6ll
And he toiled and toile.i till his task was DER
And the setting sun was sinking
Meath the beauteous west IN his golden light.
Which heaven itself seemed drinking.
The visionary lived Oh in his sunny hopes
Till the evening Of life drew nigh,
And the mansions designed in his dreaming b1air
With himself went fitting by.
But the toiler reaped bright reward
In the respect Of honored age,
And the good esteem Of his fellJwman
Which toll doth e'er pr,sagc.
And thus 'tis ever thro' lifes great page
In the records handed down
From sire TO son in the story of man
That the men Of great renown
Were workers with stern resolve
70 attain a worthy goal.
While the dreamer fed on the barren hopes
Enshrined in his truant soul.
Let US then make life victory here
BY steadily pushing ahead.
With a fixed desire to accomplish the words
Which the Creator said
.'Ye shall live and work BY ne sweat ofyour brow
Ye shall toll from morn till eve
And lie shall give a recompense
Which none Of us can conceive.

A Sorcerer Brought TO Grief.

Strange revelations concerning the
dismal superstition still prevalent in
the rural districts of West Prussia were
disclosed in the course of DIR. Kotley-
skis recent trial at Stuhm for unlaw
full practices" This person bad acquir-
ed a Wide-s pread reputation among
time ago a woman afflicted by epilep-
sy applied to him for a cure. Having
diagnosed her case, he declared that
she was possessed by four devils, con-
jured into her body by a female neigh
Dor. He then proceeded to exercise
these demons, three of whom promptly
quilted their human tenement in ODE
dience to his spells The fourth, how
ever, laughed his incantations to scorn.
This fiendish recalcitrance led him to
the discovery that, in order to expel
the obstinate demon, it would be neces-
sary that the epileptic woman should
swallow a draught of the witchs blood.
In order to obtain this nostrum he be-
took himself to the dwelling of the
woman, by him accused of witchcraft,
and beat her until she lay senseless on
the floor. But for the interference of a
resolute neighbor he would have muir
dered his victim. Arraigned for this
crime before Prussian tribunal, he
declared in open court that he had
done nothing more than his duty to
his patient, and that he had not only
frequently ridded possessed persons of
their fiendish inmates by similar means,
but had often seen and spoken to devils
with whom The had thus dealt. He
was sentenced to four months impris-
onment by the tribunal of Stuhm.

A Word Of Caution.

The Adelaide (Australia) Punch tells
the following story "A lady friend

Notions of the First settlers.
[Mondoyi. 50 Buffalo Co. Herald

Mr.. w. II. H. Amidon, one of the
first settlers in the town of Chinatown,
Wis, and one of the most industrious
and hard working men in the county,
has been very severely troubled with
rheumatic pains during the past few
years, so much at times, that he was
disabled from performing manual la
Dor. Learning of the wonderful cures
effected by the use of st. Jacobs Oil he
procured few bottles and experienced
immediate relief Many others of our

themselves as highly gratitied, with
the relief it has afforded them. This

Michael Dayitt's Mistake.
New York World.


Mr.. Davitt's running into arrest was
another blunder. A suicide is not
martyr. Davitt knew the risks he was
running when he appeared IN Ireland
as an agitator, and must have known
that the first excitement in the English
mind on the Irish question would cause
his re-arrest. If his agitation was sue
cessful, that is to say, it would cost him
his liberty. A man who puts his head
into the lions mouth must be his own
accident insurance company. The
British lion is in general q good-natured
and tolerant beast, it must be owned, IN
his demeanor toward Irish lion tanners,
and it must also be owned that Davltt
tried his tolerance to the utmost. He
might have kept his head in the lions
mouth and gone on twitching toe lions
whiskers at Dublin with impunity if
Mr.. Parnell and his associates had not
been contemporaneously engaged in
twisting the tail of that long-suffering
animal at Westminster. twas this lat
ter process which finally irrated the
lion into closing his languid jaws upon
Mr.. Davitt. And Mr.. Davitt can scarce
" consider that the seven more years
of penal servitude which he has delib-
ately incurred can be in any way COM
pensated, either to himself or to his
country, by anything which he was
able to achieve while he was at large.

Gold Feet.

Says the London Lancet; 1t is, as we
have often labored to show, q mistake
to suppose there is any warmth III
clothes. Animal heat is the direct re-
suit of changes going on within the
body itself. Nutrition by food and the
discharges of energy by exercise are
the efficient causes of heat. Clothes
''seem" good and warm because they
prevent the cold air and objects with
capacity for heat which surround the
body from attracting the heat generated
within its organism. The clothing Is
simply an insulator. 1t follows that it
should be light in weight, and above all
things, that it should permit the free
and full circulation of blood through
every part of the systemic the end
of every finger and toe-and that the
muscular apparatus of the extremitles
should be in Il perfect working order
If we will wear foot coverings, whether
boots or stockings, which compress the
feet and render the separate action OF
each toe impossible, it is absurd to
expect to be warm-footed. Heat Is
the complement of work and nutrition,
and if n part of the organism Is so
bound that it cannot work, and It's sup
ply of food is limited, it must be cold.
The resort to storter and heavier cloth
ing is simply ridiculous. Generally 1t
is the stockings that compress the feet.
The garter acts as a ligature, and dl-
minishes the blood supply, while the
stocking itself acts as bandage, and
impedes the circulation through the
extremities.

Craters In the Moon.

Since Calico first turned n telescope
upon the moor, the lunar craters have
been among the wonders and mysteries
of astronomy. 1t is not merely or even
chiefly the vast size of some of those
objects which excites astonlshm ent.
Indeed, it might almost be inferred
from what we know of the moons size
and general structure that her volcanic
energies would be more effective,
though not greater than those of our
own earth. The really surprising char
acteristics of the lunar surface is the
AMAZING number of the lunar craters.
Even Calico, though with his
weak telescope he could see but
few of the craters which really
exist in the moon, compared those
in the southwestern part of the
moons disk to the eyes in a peacock 5
tail. With each increase of telescope
power, more and more craters have
been seen. Regions supposed TO be
comparatively smooth have been found,
on closer scrutiny with higher powers
or under more favorable conditions, to
be covered with minute craters. The
slopes of the larger craters, even IN
some cases their floors have been
found to be strewn with small crater
shaped depressions. In fine, almost
the whole surface of the moon may be
said to DE pitted with depressions of all
sizes, from mighty CULTS 800 or 400
miles across, down to minute saucer
shaped shadows, such as only the most
powerful telescopes will reveal

How Eaf Oranges

A fork is pierced partly through the

the stem side. The fork serves for a
handle, which is held in the left hand
while with sharp knife the peel and
thin skin are cut off in thin strips from
the top Of the orange to the fork ham
die. Now, holding it in the right hand,
the orane can be eaten, leaving all the
fibrous pulp on the fork. Any gourmet
knows that the only way to eat an or
ange is to suck it. By this method the
same satisfactory result is obtained in
a more reputable manner. A tart or
gauge eaten in this fashion is alleged
to be an appetizer.

It is rather curious to watch the antics cut by the Los Angeles papers on the railroad question. One day their extensive and in- comparable railroad facilities are lauded to the skies, and the next they are filled with abuse for the "blasted monCpOlists." 'TWould be good thing 10 strike happy middle course and give the rail- road company the praise due them for making Los Angeles what she is to-day. Instead of the miserable one-horse Mexican town she was before the railroad company began their operations in her midst, she is to-day one of the most prosperous and solidIy built cities on the Pacific Coast, and stands the best chance of any place iD Southern California of being the capital of the new State.
