4 Tcied and 1l.ne Treatment.

Keep the feet very warm and the body
comfortably covered, without being burden
ed. Wool blankets are altogether the best
protection. Let as little cotton or linen be
used as possible Give plenty of fresh air,
with temperature not lower than 70'.-
Saturate large napkin with the best alco-
hol and wrap the throat of the patient
closely. Then take bottle or jug Of hot
water. or better still, hot sand, and press it
close to the wet cloth, so as to heat the alco-
hol into the throat thoroughly. AT the same
time give all the stimulant the patient can
bear. Care must be taken that the hot APP
plications do not blister, a a surface once
affected in this way becomes too sensitive
for the further use of the outward heat
Persist in the treatment. Send for a physi-
clan If You ch o,e, and let him give what
ever remedies he sees fit; but do not relax
YOUR vigilance in this direction. As a rule,
remedies swallowed are useless, and the pa
tient dies. In the case of very young chill
dren. take the same course in outward treat
ment; then take wine-glass of the best
whskey, large spoonful of pure glycerine
or strained honey -glycerine is just as good,
and most persons have it, but itmust be the
best-three wine-glasses of warm water, and
give one tesspoonful every three minutes
until the breathing becomes freer.

Cut circular pieceof card to fit the top
of a hyacinth glass so as to rest upon the
ledge and exclude the air. Pierce 4 hole
through the center of the card and pass it
through n strong thread, having small
piece of wood tied to one end which, rest
ing transvcrsely on the card, is prevented
from being drawn through. To the other
end of the thread attach an acorn, and
having filled the glass with water, suspend
the acorn at a short distance from the sur

room, and in few days more a stem will
shoot out at the other end, and rising up

"ThereS many slip
Tween the cup and the lip
A king of Thace had planted a vineyard,
when one Of his slaves whom he had much
oppressed in that very work, prophesied that
he should never taste of the wine produced
in it. The monarch disrcgarded the pre-
diction, and when at an entertainment, he
held a glassful of his own wine made from
the grapes of that vineyard, he sent for the
slave and asked him what he thought Of his
prophecy now. To which the other re-
piled: Many things fall out between the
cup and the lip" and had scarcely deliver
ed this singular response before the news
was brought that n monstrous boar was lay

in a rage, he put down the cup which he
held in his hands and hurried out with his
people to attack the boar but being too
eager, the boar rushed upon him and
killed him without his having tasted Of the

The subscriptions towards erecting big
Christian or Disciples church in Washing
ton are waxing frequent and heavy in such
degree as to justify the selection Of better
site than the one the present cdifce occu-
pies and the enlargement of the original
plans. DO administration churches" an
idea which Grants presidency evolved and,
as already indicated, Garfield seems to sane
tion, serve TO maintain the separation 'twixt
church and state which our president- elect
approves? And does II render the more
unworldly the services in the temple? We
think not. If the sage of Mentor would add
largely to those golden opinions which his
recent utterances have compelled from all
sorts of people he will influence to less pre-
tensions in this regard his jealous church
