Treatment OF DiphtherIa,

The Medtcat Press says that DIR. Denkcr,
who, during twenty four years of extensive
practice in the Children's Hospital, st
Petersburg, has treated upward OF tw"
thousand cases of diphtherla, and tired all
remedies, both internal and external, en-
ployed in this affection, has obtained the
best results from the following method,
which he has employed for the last ten
wears. AS soon as the white spots appear
on the tonsils he gives laxative mainly
composed of SIENNA, which proves an abun'
dant evacuation When the purgative Ell
feet has ceased he gives cold drinks, acldu-
lated with hydrochlorlc acid, and every
two hours gargle composed OF lime wa

CHAPPED HANDS.-The raw winds
of late autumn often produce in the
hands of those who are much exposed
to them that rOughness and cracking of
the skin known as chappiHg. If moth
ing is done to prevent, and the person
is obliged to have his hands frequently
wet and dried, the cracks will yet be
deep and painful. Corn husking is fire.
Quently accompanied by sore hands.
AS both a precaution and cure for chap
ped hands we have used the following
with benefit Wash the hands, and the
face also if it is inclined to chap. with
borax water, and afterwards rub with
an ointment made by melting tallO W
(suet), and then gradually adding Jan
equal quantity of glycerine, stirring
the two together until cold, For the
hands this mixture can best applied at
night, using it freely and warming it
by the fire, after which an old pair of
gloves can be put on to keep the clothes
from getting soiled, ana also make the
skin of the hands softer. An excellent
glyceriue ointment for chapped hands is
made by melting, with a gentle heat,
two ounces of sweet oil of almonds, half
ounce of spermace.i, ard one drachm of
white wax. When melted, remove from
the stove, and add gradually, one ounce
of glyceTine, and stir until the mixture
is cold. The ointment can be scented
with any perfume to suit the fancy. AL
ways keep in wide-necked bottles.

PRoVIDENT RATS. Rats are very apt
to take heed for the morrow. Eggs,
which they have been known to carry
from the cellar to the garret, and other
tempting food, instead of being devour-
ed instantly, are stored away for the
hour of need. A gentleman who fed
his owu pointers, noticed through hole
in the deor that a number of rats ate
from the trough with the dogs, which
did not molest them. He resolved to
shoot the intTuders SO, when he served
out the FOOD he kept the dogs away.
Not rat came to taste, although he
could see them peeTing out of their holes
for they were too well versed in human
nature to venture forth without protec-
tion of their canine guard. When the
dogs were let in the rats joined them
and fed with them as usual. The fore
thought of rats is indeed proverbial, and
instead of being careless and selfish,
the interesting little folk are proved to
be dutiful children, careful parents and
friends in need.

A DoG's lONa WATCH.-A dog In
New Mexico, returning one evening
With bis sheep to the fold, discovered
that bis master was still In his shanty
and kept very quiet. The next evening
1t was the Same. But after penning up
the sheep the dog smelled about the door,
scratched, barked and even howled. as
he was very hungry, but his master did
not move. The dog, true to his appoint
ed duty, went out with the sheep on the
third morning but that night when he
drove the flock into their pen the last
one to attempt to get in became the vic
tim OF the dogs appetite. This method
of providing for his own wants became
a part of the faithful dogs duty. Every
evening the last sheep to try to enter
was seized by him and served for supper
and for breakfast and dinner the follow
ing day. The ranch TO which the dog be-
longed was in solitary part of the Ter
ritOry, and out of the track of travel and
visitation. For two years from the time
of his masters death-ascertained by
data left by the latter--the faithful dog
attended the flock left in his charge, and
had fresh mutton for his supper every
night. The flock was not decimated by
this steady drain upon its resources. On
the contrary it increased in numbers,
and when, at the end of two years from
the time of the death of the proprietor,
the ranch was visited and the remains
of the owner found, the dog was still at
his post of duty, jealoIsly guarding the
flock, and driving them to the best pas
lures every day and to the fold at night,
before which he slept, to keep the wild
sheep-eaters of the plains at a civil dis
tance.

VEGETABLE WONDHRs--The great
entrance to the Botanic garden OF Per
adenia is through noble avenue OF IL
dia rubber trees. This tree, which Is
known to us of the North only by puny
specimens in greenhouses, grows in
these tropical regions to q giants stat
ure, of a size comparable to that OF our
largest oaks. An immense crown Of
many thousand leaves covers with the
aid of its horizontal limbs, which are
thirty or forty feet long, the area of a
stately palace; while from the base of
its thick trunk extends framework of
roots over space of often between one
and two hundred feet in diameter, and
much larger than would correspond
with the height of the tree. This won
derful structure consists of twenty or
thirty chief roots proceeding from as
many corresponding ribs in the lower
part of the trunk and spreading them
selves like snakes on the ground. The
tree is hence called the snaae tree by
the natives, and has been compared by
the poets to the cOiled serpenJs OF the
LAGOON. The roots, with the ribs
which mark the swelling out from the
trunk, form strong buttresses to the
tree and enable il to bid defiance to the
storm. The spaces between the but
tresses constitute mimic chambers large
enough for a stanaing man to conceal
himself in them.
Among the other arboreal wonders or
Perandenia are the giant bamboos that
are marvel to all visitors. They here
form thickets along the banks OF the
stream, hundred feet high and a
hundred feet wide, bending their great
heads, like the waving plumes of giant
high over the river and the adjoining
road. On a nearer approach, each of the
thickets is seen to consist OF cylindrical
stems foot or two thick, which, close
ly crowded together below on common
root-diverge as they rise, and bear on
slight. nodding branches dense tufts OF
the most delicate foliage. These gigan-
tic trees are nothing but grasses. Like
all grass s-holms, their great hollow reed
stem is divided Into joints ; but the
sheaf of the leaf, which is represented
in our tender grasses by thin scale at
the base of the leaves, becomes in these
gigantic bamboos a hard, woody plate,
that might without further preparation
serves the purpose of an arInOr for the
whole breast of strong man. A three
year old child could hide itself in one OF
the joints of the stem.

wHAr VANDERBILT THINKS.

Vanderbilt has been asked by reporter
what he thinks of the anti. Monopolists. !"
and has replied that he thinks them set of
corrupt and venal frauds, who can always
be purchased il 1t is thought necessary to
buy them. OF course he is speaking of
the New York article, but it is interesting
to observe how little difference there is be-
tween tho breed there and here. In Cali
fornia the most blatant anti.monopoly
howlers have always proved the most facile
oorruptionists. They have invariably gone
into the business for purposes of black.
mail. And that is the natural and regular
inspiration OF the average Anti Monopolist
in politics. In this State, however, the
trainers OF the new Constitution carefully
provided 70. constant succession of vensl
men in Office, and so arranged matters that
only the least trustworthy could fill the
places. Never were there so many premi.
ums for Demagogism and VenaEty offered
as the new Constitution of California prof
fers to the professional blackmaiIers. and it
must be admitted that they have availed
themselves of their opportunities to the
utmost. TIE strangest fact, however, is the
continued guliibility of the people by the
old thread bare subterfuges. But perhaps
next month it may appear that this gull.
bility is less prevalent than of old,
