Tie Unre of DinhtheriA.

A California physician writes. Dur
ing prolonged residence in the in
terror of China | became acquainted
with the fact that the Chinese place
reliance during epidemics of diphtheria
on the internal use of the fresh juice
of lines, and the fruit itself, which
they consume in enormous quantities,
in every conceivable form--as lemon,
a lie, with native spirits, cut in slices,
ETC., during attacks of the dreadful
disease, with apparently most success
full results, it hardly ever failing to
affect a cure. The Chinese consider it
a specific, and will, in case of need, do
anything to obtain a supply.
Since | havecome back to California,
as also in Louisiana, have used lines
and their juices in my practice as a
physician with most successful results
in cases Of diphtheria, even in the most
desperate cases. AS soon as | take
charge of case of diphtheria, | order
lines to be administered as freely as
possible, in any manner the patient
can be prevailed upon to take them,
especially in the form of hot lemonade,
sweetened with white sugar or honey,
or cut in slices with powdered white
sugar. Beside lime juice (Which /
suppose acts by importing an excess of
oxygen to the circulation, and thereby
prevents formation of yibriones, etc.,
and so has almost specific effect on
disease), | prescribe whatever drug
may be indicated to relieve symptoms
as they develop, and impart strength
by appropriate stimulants and nourish-
mant

Cities Warmer than the Country.

Those who happen to live at little
distance from the heart Of q city. says
ScieAc., must frequently lave noticed
lack of accord between the readings
of their own standard thermometers
and the published observations of the
signal service observer of their locality.
The r, ason of the dscord is plain, viz,
the perturbing action Of tie heat
which the city emits; and, however
gratifying it may be to the outsider to
find himself superior to the govern
ment observers it is very little to the
credit of the weather bureau that this
particular source of error was not long
since recognized and avoided. The
remarks of Professor Whitney on this
subject, as applied to observations
made at London, are pertinent and
convincing. He says:
"Itis a well-known fact that cities
are considerably warmer than the
more thinly-inEabited country, other
wise under similar climatic conditions.
Statistics prove this to be true: and
there could be no doubt that such
would be the effect of an immense ag
gregation of population within a
limited space, even if there were no
statistics bearing on this question.
Many millions of tons of coal are
burned in and about London during
every year, and the whole mass of
brick of which the city is built is
heated during the entire winter, and
more OF less in the summer, many de
grees above the natural temperature"

From Death to Life.

1t seldom happens in real life that a
young lady three years after being en-
velopad in her burial shroud and
placed in her coffin as dead becomes a
bright and happy bride, yet such ro-
nance has recently developed in Balti-
more, where Miss Mary Griffith, a
beautiful young Lady of about twenty
one summers, wa married to Mr..
Vivian Neale.
Several years ago, when the young
lady was residing in Cincinnati. she
had terrible fall down a flight of
stairs and received injuries which were
considered fatal. Several prominent
physicians called to see her, ana pro-
nounced her case hopeless. One day
the young girl grew much worse, fell
into comatose state, and, as it was
thought, diel. The body was prepared
for burial and exposed for two days in
casket to the view Of friends. The
day of the funeral arrived, and, at the
appointed time, the carriages and
hearSe drove up to the door. Just as
the coffin was bing closed it was no
ticel that the life-like appearance of
the supposed corpse was more pro-
nounced, and there were slight signs
of returning vitality. A physician was
called. and after an hour or sQpMiss
Griffith returned to consciousness. The
solemn gathering was turned into one
of joy. The young girl recovered rap
idly, and has since been in better health
than ever before.

WISE WORDS.

No thoroughly occupied man was
ever yet miserable.
If you would create something you
must be something.
Sunshine is like love, it makes every
thing shine with its own beauty.
The very nature of love is to find its
joy in serving Others, not for ones own
benefit but theirs.
Education begins the gentleman;
but reading, good company and rehec-
tion must finish him.
In the lexicon If youth, which fate
reserves for bright manhood, there is
no such word as fail.
Fo, a man to think that he is going
to do the work of his life without OBJ
stacles is to dream in the lap of folly.
Hard speech between those who
have loved is hideous in the memory,
like the sight of greatness and beauty
sunk into vice and rags.
Hold fast to the present Every
position, every moment of life, is OF
unspeakable value as the representa-
tive of whole eternity.
10 know how to say what other peo-
pie only think is what makes men
poets and sages, and to dare to say
what others only dare to think, makes
men martyrs or reformers, or both.
A medical authority says: Laughter
is one of the greatest helps to d ges-
ton, and that the custom of our fore
fathers of exciting it at the table by
testing and buffoons was founded on
true medical principles"

Villages in China.

Villages, not badly built by any
means, occur at intervals of mile OF
more apart all along the roads of China
Very good brick-much about the
same size, shape and material as those
made in this country-compose .the
walls of the better houses, while for
the poorer order of ediliCes mud is
used. The brick walls in China are ex-
cellent-better than the cheap brick
walls in America, and but little infe-
rior to our best preserved brick. When
villages are constructed of mud there
is a striking resemblance to the vii
lagos of Egypt The houses haveno out
side windows and but one opening,
which is the door. The openings for
lights are upon inner courts or back
yards, and are without glass. The
caves are made to project, so as to KEEP
out the rain, and in doing so exclude
much light as well. Blinds made of
Stats are sometimes used, and thin,
light paper pasted over the Stats serves
to keep ont some of the cold air and
let in a little light.
The houses are invariably one story
high, and at the bottom of this custom
is superstition that higher houses
would interfere with the spirits of the
air ("Fung Chui") and offend them,
thus bringing disaster upon the house
or village. In front of each door, and
at distance of eight or ten feet, stands
detached wall, fifteen fet long and
as high az the caves of the house, con-
ccaling the dor flo any person
standing in front of it. This is for
the purpose of defending the house
and family from the malignant "Fung
Chui" or spirits, which are popularly
believed TO fly only in straight lines
and to be incapable of turning corner.
1t follows that when traversing the
air in search of a certain house when
they come in contact with the wall
they are thrown off at an angle, and
thus bafiled of their purpose, and fly
in a tangent through infinite space and
are lost.
A Chinese village has but little in
common with those of this country,
either in detail or in general appear
ance. While the villages of America,
copied from English prototype, are
peculiar from their detached and separ-
ate build, with gardens and grass plats,
those of China are compact, huddled
together, and present from distance
the aspect of n mere dead wall. One
peculiar aspect of al Chinese cities and
villages is the absence of all steeples,
spires or pinnaeles Of any kind. While
Mahommedan countries have the
mosque, with its flashing domes and
graceful miHarets, and European and
American centers of population are
marked by lofty towers and spire',
China is almost absolutely without any
of these striking architectural points.
The result is great monotony and
dullness of aspect.

A boy will tramp two hundred and

YOU ask him to cross the street and
borrow Jones two-inch auger, he will
be as stiff as a meat block. And he
will 60 swimming all day and stay in
the water three hours at a time, and
splash and dive, and paddle and puff,
and next morning he will feel that an
unmeaSured insult has been offered
him when he is told by his mother to
wash his face. And he'll wander
around a dry creek bed all the evening
piling up pebble fort, and nearly die
when his big sister wants him to pick
up a basket of chips for the parlor
stove. And he'll spend the biggest
part of his time in trying to corner a
stray mule or barebacked horse for
ride and feel that all life's charms
have fled when it comes his turn to
drive the cows home. And he'll turn
a ten-acre lot upside down for ten
inches OF angle worms, and wish for
the voiceless tomb when the garden

LIES HEROES.



Not alone is he hero who is brave whsrc
cannon thunder,
Or with ardor hastes to mingle in the carnage
of the strife;
Greater deeds by noble soldiers oft elicit
naught of wonder,
For the field whereon they act them is the bat
tlefeld of life.
Tis not always he whose name is blazoned
fair in song and story,
Who most merits from his fellows glowing
tributes to his might;
Oft higher, purer hero acts part unknown
to glory,
- 1t simply as his duty, struggling bravely
in the right.
triki ng ventures, deeds uncommon, feats of
rash, instructive daring,
Do not always mark the presence Of courage
real and true;
Better far the reasoned labors of heart no
efforts sparing,
First, to know what act is proper, then that
act, with strength, 10 do.
Call him hero, if he wish it, who in storm or
conhagraton
Risks his life in deadly peril to preserve
friend or foe
Yet the deed, though brave, may cost him far
less trouble and vexation
Than the slightest manly effort to restrain
his passions flow.
Fen ignoble men, and hardened natures
coarse and wholly brutal,
Sometimes spurred by love of plaudits, seem
to act noble role.
But their aim is base and selfish, and their
claims will e'er prove futile,
II they wish their names, as heroes, fairly
wrought on Honors scroll.
SEQ the oft-recurring struggles-daily COM
bats, trials bitter,
That beset the faithful Christian, striving
for celestial crown;
Is not he who here is victor far more worthy,
better, filter
To receive our cheering plaudits last
'ug bright renown?
Some there are, both high and lowly, who
repine not when they're smitten,
Cheerful while pheir spirits quiver meath
aifliction's heavy rod.
These ale heroes, brave and true ones, and
their names are ever written,
Not on heeting human records, but in vol
umcs penned by God.
