How to Apply the Soda Remedy In Burns
and ScaIds.
Popular Science MoHthtu.

1t is now many years ago (see the London
Medical Gazette of March, 1S44) that the au-
thor of this paper, while engaged in some
investigations as to the qualities and the ef-
fects Of the alkalies in inflammations of the
skin, ETC., was fortunate enough to discover
that saline lotion, or saturated solution of
the bicarbonated soda in either plain water
or camphorated water, if applied speedily,
or as soon as possible, to burned or scalded
part, was most eflectual in Immediately re-
lieving the acute burning pain; and when
the burn was only superficial, or not severe,
removing all pain in the course of very
short time; having also the very great adj
vantage of cleanliness, and if applied at once,
of preventing the usual consequences-a
painful bistering of the skin, separation of
the epiderms, and perhaps more or less of
suppuration.
For this purpose all that is necessary is to
cut piece of lint, or old soft rag, or even
thick blotting paper, sufficient to cover the
burned or scalded parts, and to keep it con-
stantly we'll wetted with the sodaic lotion,
so as to prevent its drying. BY this means it
usually happens that all pain ceases in from
quarter to half an hour, or eve.t In much
less time.
When the main part of limb, such as the
hand and forearm or the foot and leg, has
been burned is .hest- whans nraetieahle. to
lotion, and keep it there until the pain sub
sides; or the limb may be swathed or encir-
cled with surgeons cotton banaage pre-
viously soaked in the saturated solution, and
kept constantly wetted with 1t, the relief be-
ing usually immediate, provided the solution
be saturated and cold.
What is now usually sold as bicarbonate
of soda IS what have commonly used and
recommended; although this is we'll known

answer the purpose, although probably How
ards is most to be depended OH, the common
carbonate being too caustic. 1t is believed
that large proportion Of medical practition'
ers are still unaware of the remarkable quail
tiles of this easily applied remedy, which
recommends itself for obvious reasons.

The Most Brilliant Stage Spectacle Ever
Seen In Paris.
Corr. ". O. Picavatne.

Let me tell you first of the thousand and
One Nights, which Adolph Dennery and
Paul Ferrier have put on the stage for us.
.Nss.a--a.ss- af~-sAi,i@A t.---
but hasten to tell how he has delighted our
eyes, which was all that was asked Of him.
When tell you that the theater was closed
thirty nights for full dress rehearsals, that
several times during the performance there
are four hundred persons on the stage, that
there are twenty-eight hundred costumes,
thirty-on tableaux, and that one hundred
thousand dollars have been spent on scenery
and costumes, you may imagine something
of the dazzling splendor of the fairy piece.
1t would be tiresome were | to describe all
of the thirty y-one tableaux Of the piece, so let
me tell you the wonders of the three tab
leaux which everybody says are not only the
best of the piece, but are fascinating. Two
of them, "Cleopatra's Court !" and the In
fernal Hunt" are thought here to be the
most brilliant tableaux ever put upon the
stage. One of these tableaux Is laid In "the
unfathomed caves of ocean," where coral,
sea weeds, madrepores, shrimps, fishes, lob
sters, represented by young, pretty girls, In
dresses that never begin and are always end
ing, who dance and swim and dive and float,
the water (green gauze) radiant with all
sorts of lights. You are to bear In mind
that i'm a theater like the Chatelet the num-
Der of persons always on the stage Is very
great, because, where In smaller theater
one hundred persons would seem great
mob, four times that number are required in
this great theater. So the eyes are fairly
dazzled by the number Of groups and the
variety of costumes. cleopatra" enters on
an immense houdah borne by two magnifi-
cent elephants, painted to look more splen-
did, and with magnificent gold bracelets ON
each leg. The houdah Is rs brilliant as
silks, satin, velvet, cloth of gold, cloth OF
silver, tassels, and fringes can make 1t.
!" Cleopatra lies on divan, surrounded by
her slaves and by fifty fan-bearers; no two
persons amcng the slaves and fan-b~arers
have the same costume, and each costume is
as rich as possible; Cleopatra" Is well
coined by brilliant ballet, and not one OF
the danseuses has the scme costume. The
Internal Hunt " brings on the stage pack
of one hundred and fifty hounds, twelve
whippers-in, twenty-four huntsmen, ten
members of the hunt, five ladies; they hunt
sixty tigers, that are immense Danish dogs
covered with tigers skin; these dogs are so
mortified at being obliged to play this most
ridiculous part, that they 90 about the thea
ter, before and after the piece is played, with
heads hung down an1 tails between their
legs. The scene Is, how ever, exciting; horns
blow, whips are CRACKED, dogs mouth 1t,
horses gallop at swiftest pace.

FATE.

Two shall be born the whole wide world

And speak in different tongues, and have no
thought
Each of the others being, and no heed.
And these DER unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying death;
And. all unconsciously, shape every act
nd bend each wandering step to this one
end
That one day out of darkness they shall meet
And read lfe's meaning In each others eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way OF me-
So nearly side by side that should one turn
Ever 10 little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged face to
face,
And vet, with wistful eyes, that never meet,
With cropping hands that never clasp anu
lips
Calling In vain to ears that never hear,
They seek each other all their weary days,
And die unsatisfied; and this is Fate.

LA MER.
BY OSCAR WILDE.

A white mist drifts across the shrouds,
A wild moon In this wintry SKY
Gaeams like an angry lions eye
Dut of q name OF tawny clouds.
The muffied steersman at the wheel
I'm but shadow In the gloom
Ard i'm the throbbing engine-room
Lean the long rods OF polished steel.
The shattered storm has left Its trace
Upon this huge and heaving dome,
For the thin threads OF yellow foam
Float on the waves like raveled lace.

Slfandlon Bells.

William Black is just now engaged upon
his new novel, "Shandon Bells" which Is TO
begin i'm the April number of Harper's Mag
azine. Irishmen will be curious to see how
a Scotchman will treat an Irish theme, for
Mr.. Blacks new story is naturally expected
to be Irish in Characterization as in locality.
Sbandon bells are historical. They have
been immortalized in serious and in humor-
GUS verse,
Bells of shandon
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee
Who has not heard of their tiutnnabulatory
performances? "Prout's Reliques" have
invested them with poetic interest, and they
recall many pleasant literary memories.
Mr.. Black will extend this interest, even
though he should deal with the realistic side
of the Shaudon as it is to-day. Those who
idolize Shandon bells will hope that the
novelist will put his story back in previous
ACE. but those who know him well will at
once discredit the idea that he is going to do
a historical romance. At the present time
the bells of Shandon ring out over as squalid
a neiehborhood as you might find in any
great city. The old church which the bells
have made famous Is the center OF one OF
the poorest and most miserable purlieus of
Cork. Says the Globe recently, sketchng
the chief characteristics of Shandon Parish,
II il a series of "reokeries reeking with the
foul vapors from shambles and slaughter
houses, with which is commingled the scent
of various specimens of Irish butter" The
classic ground is now covered with "dilap-
| idated novels, dirty streets, narrow and pes
| tilential lanes and piggeries where the baste
| that pays the rint, grunts contentedly by the
bedside of its owner.'" What Is Mr.. Black
going to do with this material? Dickens
would have painted it lovingly, and heard in
the Ginning of the bells, up in the tower
above. an invitation to hope for some squalid
hero In the gutter below.
There was time when the neighborhoed

Mining in Brazil

Brazil was discovered by Pinzon In
1900, and rediscovered and more COM
pletely explored by Cabral in 1901 and
Americas Vespucius in 1903. In l549 it
was found that the natives possessed
some trinkets of gold. This led to
its colonization. In 1555 Vlllegag-
non, a rowing knight of Malta, ap-
piled to Admiral Coligny for leave to in
vite the Huguenots of France to emigrate
to Brazil. Permission having been OBJ
tanned from Henry IL, about ten thou
sand colonists were shipped to the coast
and there founded the city of Rio. -Four
years later they left the place in disgust
and about the year 1860 the Portuguese
occupied it and hoisted their flag, which
remained there with little interruption
until the declaration of Independence in
1922. In 1877 some gold placers were
discovered, but systematic mining did
not commence until 1870. This is, there
fore, the substantial beginning OF Bra
lillian history. The system of mining
was to hunt down and capture the
natives, who were forced into the iplacers
and compelled, on pain of death, to pro-
duce so much gold day. Each Portu
guese adventurer had royal privilege
to capture, hold and work so many Indi-
ans. This privilege was called an en-
commenda Spanish, enconstemda) or
trust. 1t was trust most shamefully
abused, for it ended with the extermina-
ton of all those natives who did not sue
coed in avoiding the Portuguese by flight
to their remote interior.
This system of slave mining impaired
certain characteristics to the colonists
and their works. Everything in Brazil
bespeaks it, and without a knowledge
of its history nothing that one sees in
that country is ineligible. 1t the key
to its material sound and intellectual
drogress. San Francisco Chronicle.
