THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

Poison from bees, hornets, spider
bites, etc, is instantly arrested by the
application of equal parts of common
salt and bicarb, nate of soda, well rub
bed in on the place bitten or stung.
A standing antidote for poison by
dew, poison oak, ivy, etc, is TO take n
handful of quicklime, dissolve in water,
let it stand half m hour, then paint the
poisoned parts with it. Three or four
applications will never fail to cure the
most aggravated cases.
The food of the eye is light, as air is
for the lungs, bread for the stomach,
and as the fins of the fish pre-suppose
water. To shut ourselves up in dark
rooms, with or without weak light, is
simply suicidal. Weak eyes, indeed,
are the accompaniment Of dark rooms,

Persons conyalescing from rheuma-
tism should choose IA residence where
the death rate from heart disease is low.
1t is desirable that all persons whose

experience has shown to have low

this disease. Thus mny be avoided dis
ease to which their constitutions are
already prone.
Exercise should not bc continued
after the effort has become nj all pain
ful Our muscles, like the rest Of our
bodies, are made susceptible OF pain,
for the bcnefcont purpose that we may
know that they are in danger, and may
thus be excited to do everything in our
power to remove them from it. 1t is q
mistaken notion that exercise of all
kinds, and under all circumstance, is
beneficial. Unless IT is adapted to the
condition Of the muscles it will prove
the agent Of doath-not the giyor of

1t Is related that a California pioneer
seeing a Cinnamon coolly draw navy
six and shoot a white rufiian neatly
through the abdomen, exclaimed, with
much earnest enthusiasm Them
Chinese is takin' on civilized WAYS sur.
prism fast" If that same pioneer could
to-day take a peep into any of the
cheap photograph galleries Of San Fran
cisco he might be still more impressed
with the rapidity with which his Celes-
tial brehren are initiating the customs
and vanities of our civilization. From
reports made 10y the proprieiors Of the
galleries in question, il seems that the
desire of the Chinese TO have their pic
lures taken amounts almost to a pas
sion. They seem to have very fixed
notions of their own as to just how they
ought to be taken" Almost without
exception they stand before the camera
with their arms akimbo and their
heels pointing toward each other. Hav-
ing taken this position they seem
to imagine that they present the very
picture Of dignified rcpose; and upon
many points in regard 20 which white
people are most particular the Chinese
sitters for photographs seem to care
nothing. They never ask to have their
wrinkles touched up, and they are en-
tirely above the petty deception of
having the unevcnness of their features
toned down. Their chief concern ap-
pears to be in regard to their clothes.
their feet and hands and their fans. II
these are all well and distinctly taken.
particularly the fan. without which no
Chinaman regards his photograph as
complete, then the proprietor of the
gallery seldom has any trouble in
collecting good price for his work.
Before paying. however. the Chinese Of
both sexes, made Justly suspicious by
some knowledge Of the ways Of their
Christian brethren, always demand TO
see their pictures and be assured that
the camera has not entered into q con-
spiracy 10 cheat them. II is noticeable
that this passion for having their por-
traits taken Is not confined TO the
poorer OF more IGNORANT classes Of
Cinnamon. The rich and distinguished
among them display the same innocent
weakness in even more marked degree.
The Chinese consulate at San Francisco.

expended 5000 for photographs Of ia

Some remarkable revelations concern
ing the adultcration Of food are made in
the annual report, just published, Of
the inspector Of vinegar for the city of
Boston. The total amount Of the liauor
sold and used in Boston each wear uu-
der the name Of vinegar Is estimated at
about 3,O00,0 900 gallons. OF this, tho
inspector declares, less than one-tenth
Is pure apple-juice, the rest being d
villainous docoction OF molasses, gIu-
cosc, ascetic acid, sour ale, lager beer,
distIllery slops, etc, made for about
half the lowest possible cost Of pure
cider vinegar. Nor is this all, nor
even the worst view OF the case. Such
substances as oil Of vitroil and other
mineral acids are brought into requisi-
tlon. One cents worth OF sulphuric
acid is sufficient for tho manufacture Of
four gallons Of vinegar, and when dis
guised by other Ingredients its presence
cannot be detected by taste alone. Much
- s++s' HA'ehFa4AhA num- - n lftAAtNAAls has
been sold in the Boston market as
Pure Apple Vinegar" Fifteen hun
dred barrels Of it in a single cargo were
seized hy the officers, and fifty barrels
more were captured in a warehouse and
shipped back TO the former owners.
The extent 10 which this illegal and in
human business is carried on is shown
by the fact that the Wholesale price Of
vinegar in Boston averages nine cents
per gallon, much Of it being sold as
low as six cents, while the genuine arti.
Gle canno; be manufactured for less than
twelve and one.half cents per gallon. 1t
IL only natural that the inspector. in
concluding his report, should attribute
the high death-rate of the city largely
to the consumption Of these deleterious
compounds.

THE Gu AKERS ApMONISH PRESIDENT
ARTHUR.-The yearly meeting of Friends
held at Richmond, Indiana, on the Goth
ulr. directed the following Address to be
sent to the President of the United States.
There is vein of deep feeling and patri-
otlsm pervading it's beautiful simplicity of
language:
Dear Brother:--Bound by the one sorrow
into unity of feeling, we feel to extend
to thee our earnest sympathy. Being
placed as thou art, in tried situation, we
earnestly desire that wisdom may be given
thee to fulfill all thy obligations to God
and our country. May not only the man
tie of our loved predecessor rest upon thee,
but may the spirit of our Father clothe
thee so completely that all things may
work together for good. Remember that
thou art the head Of great Nation, we
hope no longer divided by sectional feeling,
but, instead, united by the ties of loving
brotherhood. May thy every act be char
acterized by charity and love of justice, so
that when the term closes, thou mayest
have the full approval of thy conscience
as seal upon thy lSborS. Let nothing
mislead thee in judgment, but abide III that
state where thou canSt Judge Alright. Let
not obligation to individuals cause thee to
lose sight of thy duties to the whole peo-
pie. Be fearless in thy integrity. We
trust thou wilt not be unmindful of the
cause of the Indians. Mayest thou use
every effort to advance them in civilization
and Christianity. We assure thee OF our
earnest support in every good work, and
with the prayer that divine guidance may
be thine in all things, we remain thy
friends.

A GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.-The
st. Gothard tunnel, which, as announced
in cable dispatches, is now open for the
passage of trains, is one of the greatest
engineering feats OF the century. 1t cost
$57 800, 900, of which Italy paid as SUBJ
sidy ST. ,000, 900, Germany $4,000 600, and
Switzerland $5,6O0,O0O. The work was
begun in 1872, in the fall, and the tunnel
was completed in February, 1Se0-four
and half years less than was required to
build the Mont Gems tunnel. During the
progress of the enterprise the laborers in
the tunnel suffered from mysterious di-
sease that long baffied all physicians; but
an Italian Physician, DR.. Glacone, finally
traced it, with the aid OF microscopic in
vestigation, to parasitic worms that were
engendered by the underground atmos-
phere, and lodged in the intestines of men
working in it. A Swiss physician, DR..
Sonderegge, supplemented this discovery
by devising method of expelling the par
asites. The tunnel is one section of
railroad running from Lake Luzerne in
Switzerland to Lake Maggiore in Italy,
The tunnel proper begins at Goeschenen,
In defile where the river Reuss dashes
beneath the famous Devils Bridge, and
ends at Alrolo, where it overlooks the
pleasant valley Of the Ticino. Its length
is nine-and-a- third miles, or As 1886 feet; to
be exact, it is 1911 feet high and 26 feet ia
maximum width.
