Q. Does any Baking Powder In which any
alunhla salts enter contain alumina, In
your opinion, which can be absorbed in the
process OF digestion-are not such objec.
tionableS
A. Very decidedly Objectionable, in my
opinion. e
Q. Why do you say-from what system OF
reasoning do you make it out-that because
alum Is injurious, alumlna is injurious?
A. Because the injurious effects Of aiu-
nina, when 1t gets into the stomach and re-
acts on the organs, are the same; this nv
drate of alumina meets In the stomach the
| gastric juices, and reacts with them the
same as alum would; 1t forms, in fact, q
kind of alum in the stomach with those
acids, and whatever alum would do, 1t would
do.

POll-eyil.

In the treatment of this case the pa
tent should be confined on light diet,
and a potion ofcooling medicines should
also be given-ten or twelve ounces of
Glauber salts dissolved in six gills of hot
water. AS soon as the liquid is sui1i-
GENTLY cool it should be gently poured
down the throat from smooth-necked
champagne bottle. The tumetied parts
should be kept constantly wet by means
of bandages thoroughly saturated in a
mixture composed of equal parts of pure
cider vinegar and cold water. This
treatment should be well persevered in
for few days. Should the tumor in
the meantime increase in its size and
the parts develop much heat, q poultice
of bruised flaxseed should be applied
twice daily for forty-eight or ninety-six
hours, or until the tumor manifests
Auctuating feeling. You will please note
that no representation should be in
dulged in, such as waiting patiently for
the tumor to break of its own accord,
but as soon as the matter can be distinctly
felt by pressure make an incision slant
ingly with sharp knife upon the right
side of the neck as the base of the abscess.
The incision or cut must not be made so
deep as to come in contact with the
spinal cord or marrow. The opening of
the base of the tumor should be made
sufficiently large to allow the pus to
freely escape as fast as it forms. A
seton should be passed down from
the natural opening at the top of the
tumor through the artificial opening
made at its base. Before inserting the
seton it should be dipped in tincture of
cantharides. This will be found the
safest and best plan to adopt for pro-
noting healthy granulation and adhe-
sion of the walls of the tumor. The fis-
I9tulous track is not probably very long,
and the tape-seton will work its way
| gradually but eflicaciously out, by which
time the cure ismade. A stimulus is
also necessary to be applied to the in
terror of the tumor by resaturating the
seton, in three or four days after it is
first inserted, with a solution made by
dissolving ten grains of nitrate of silver
in one ounce of cold water. This latter
named stimulus should be applied twice
per week until healthy discharge of
pus appears; then stop. In the open
ing, from the top down to the artificial
opening at the bottom, should be in
iected three times week a stimulus
composed of one drachm chloride zinc
dissolved in one pint of cold water. APP
ply the zinc lotion in half an hour after
using the cantharides tineture and the
nitrate of silver solution. The tincture
of cantharides should only be applied
once, and the nitrate of silver solution
on the third or fourth day after, and
continue as long as found necessary
but the zinc lotion should be applied
once daily until healthy granulation
takes place, then every second or third
day until the parts heal sourd.-N. Y.

of large planisphere map of the globe,
accompanied by numerous objects rep.

TUNES, towns and landscapes. These
objects, of p, inted cardboard, stand up
right when tie small inscription accom-
panying them is folded back; and each
one bears, moreover, a number CORE.
spending to one on the map. Placing
each in the proper position, the child
quickly BECOMES familiar with the SUBJ

the place which produces it and its use
If town, he knows its population, posi-.
ton, etc. The new game has received
the approval Of the Paris Society OF

Harry wright, OF Detrolt, received

"Do for my sake take differentcourse
Now, Harry, if 1 had some habit or very
bad fault which injured my body and

"I'HE CHILDREN LAUGHED AND
SANG.D

SANG."
1T was in the chill December
Thatthe Angel of Death came by,
And he rustled his wings of darkness
AS he swept through the wintry sky:
a household OF happy creatures
Dwet quiet, and free from care,
And the Angel stole in softly,
@s And stood all silent there.
tliut the children laughed and sang at their
~ play
Never a fear nor pang had they.)
And the Angel swiftly in silence
Struck home the mortal blow,
And in the Nintry morning
lie laid the father low:
And wildly the sorrowful mother,
Bewildeled and stunned with woo,
Walled in her lone bereavement
And wished that she, too might goi
Out the children laughed and sang at their
play;
Never fear nor pang had they)
Cold in the lonely chamber
Lay the fathers form mt rest,
And they laid the delicnte flower wreaths
Upon his quiet breast;
And forth from his home they bore him,
III And hid him from sound and sight,
And they heaped the cold earth above him
While the chiidren's feet trOd light.
(}ut the boys went home to their happy play ;
Never fear nor pang had they)
And often the childish footsteps
Are turned to their fathers grave,
Where the grass, with its glistening boar
frost,
Lies over that heart so brave;
And sometimes they watch their mother
Bending in sorrow and pain,
And they say in their childish voices:
"Will Papa never come againW
Out soon they laugh and sing ut their play;
Never fear nor pang have theyO
So God in his infinite pity
Shuts the eyes of the children dear,
And thew SOC not tile foil DESTROYER.
Though their eyes are so bright and
clear.
And l said: There's no Past for the chill
dren
With its terrible pangs and stiEgs;
And for them no DroOding Future
Spreadeth its threatening wings.
All they see is the Present-To. day;
And so they laugh and sing mt their play"

A Sitting Snake.

One of the Indian pythons
( Python moLurus) in the Zoologi-
cal Society's reptile house, which
has been until lately in company
with male of the same species,
deposited a quantity of eggs last
week, and Immediately COM
menced the duty of incubation,
which, as it would now appear, is
as carefully performed 10 these
highly-organized reptiles as In the
case of the superior class of birds.
The "pythoness" Is an excellent
mother, and has not deserted her
post day or night up to
the present time. The eggs,
which are believed to oe about
twenty in number, are completely
covered by her coils, and the mo.
ther herself by her blanket, 80
that she cannot be seen by the
casual spectator. In 1852 q large
West African python in the
Geological Society's collection laid
aquantity of eggs and sat on them
nearly ten weeks, after which, as
there appeared to be no reasonable
prospect of her Matching the eggs,
they were removed. But, upon
subsequent examination, several of
the eggs were found to have the
embryo partly developed. 1t is
hoped, therefore, that a successful
result may be obtained on the
present occasion.-Lond0n Times.
