Solid Facts.

Iron. natures great restorer of health, Is one of the most extensively used, as well as the mos, valuable medicine in Materia Med ica. and the great want heretofore has been for a preparation of iron that would combine all of it's good qualities. without producing 2 the unpleasant after effects that usually fol- low its use when il is administered ia the or dinarv way. IL IS an established and well known fact that all of the ordinary prepara- tons of iron that are so extensively used, blacken and destroy the teeth, cause consti- patton of the bowels and produce headache Browns Iron Tonic Is the only preparation of iron that will not produce these results. By ski.lful blending with the best vegetable cathartics, laxative effect upon ,hs bowels Is produced. thereby avoiding the bad effects oi onstipatlon, keeping the digestion n good order. and enabling the ron To become en- iirely assimilaied by the blood.

The Scarlet Fever.
Good lIcal,l


 IL is as unnecessary for child to die of the scarlet fever as it Is that 1t should be blind with cataract. Let us sec At any time before the body has finished its intellectual struggle we are able to help it. not by wonderful medicines, but by the knowledge of anatomy, and the applica- ton of common sense. We consult the sympathetic nerve, and do what it com mands us to do. We must give this child salt when 1t wants it: we must give it acid when 1t has fever and anxiously craves it-not vinegar. but lemon juice, because the first coagulates albumen. and the other does not. on account of the surplus oxygen which it contains. To initiate the soothing mucous in the intes- tines, which is now wanting, and to give some respiratory food at the same time, we add some gum arabic. To restore and relieve the injured nerve, we apply moist warmth. In practice we can fulfill all this with the following simple manip- ulations: Undress the child and bring 1t to bed at the very first sign of sickness. Give it. if i, has already fever, nothing but sourish warm lemonade with some gum arabic in it. Then cover its abdo- men with some dry flannel Take we'll folded bed sheet and put ii in boiling ho, water wiring 1t out dry by means of dry towels, and put this over the flannel on the child's abdomen. Then cover the whole. and wait The hot cloths will. perhaps. require repeated heat. Accord ing to the severity of the case. and i:s stage of progress. precipitation will com mence in the child from ten minutes to two hours. The child is then saved: 1t soon falls to sleep. Soon after the child awakes, it shows slight symptoms of re- turning inclination for food help its bowels, If necessary. with injections of oil, soap and water. and its recovery will be as steady as the growth of a green house plant. if well treated. Of course if the child was already dying, nothing could save 1t, or if it has already effusions in the lining of the heart or brain: it Is much better that it should die. But if the above is applied in due time, under the eyes and direction of a oompe,en, phy- sician, will guarantee that not one in a hundred children will ever die of scarlet fever. know this will s,artle some of my readers, especially those who have lost children already, but shall go still farther. maintain that child will never get scarlet fever if properly treated. If child has correctly mixed blood. i, will not catch the disorder if put in bed with sick child. This is still more startling. but nothing is easier of proof.

Youthful Criminals.
Elevated Railway Journal.

A visitor to the criminal courts of this city can hardly fail to be impressed with the youth of vast majority of the pris- oners brought up for trial. Mere boys most of them not out of their teens, and some of them hardly yet in them, are daily brought to the bar of justice charged with burglary, murderous as sault, larceny in its various degrees, and other varieties of felony, and in most in- stances the charges are proven beyond reasonable doubt.
 Middle-aged and elderly men may be seen occasionally in the dock, 1t IS true, but the vast majority of the offend CTS are little more than children. Another significant fact is generally developed in the testimony on the trial of these juvenile offenders. They nearly all belong to crowds" or gangs and to the associations thus formed they gen. orally can trace the influences which led them to take their first step in career oi crime.
 Vicious, thoughtless or indulgent pa- rents allowed them to spend their even- ings about the streets where they became acquainted with the gang" or crowd. v With them they soon learned to dnnk, to fight, to play cruel practical jokes. to carry deadly weapons, and before they or their parents realized whither they were drifting, they have passed through the bordcr-land and entered upon life of crime If caught in their frs, ofense they may deeply deplore the misstep they have taken and firmly resolve that in the future they will redeem the past but how few of them ever carry out these resolutions? They go to prison where there is an aristocracy predicated on the heinousness of the ofcnses for which the prisoners are serving terms. The youth, if he has only committed petty larceny or simple assault, is ignored, while the great criminal IS lionized even in his prison. The boy grows ashamed of his commonplace record, and the next time he appears in the criminal dock it is on a much more serious charge than before. Prisons restrain men, but the work of re- forming them must be accomplished, if accomplished at all, before they have gone to prison. Most of the young crim- inals who daily throng our courts might have been saved from ever becoming such if their parents had known more about how and where they spent their evenings.

tude and disinclination to saw wood. get it. And there is hardly one out of ten who wouldn't let 20 if she could, and quit the position business and ieafn to love some man who had less position ard a trifie more heart under his ulster, Match making mothers and unsophis,i- cated daughters are all the time setting steel traps to catch some society man, with position, and Tn nine cases out of ten after they have hooked him, the poor wife has to cook all the meals. build ihe l fire, pound the beefsteak. kill the chick ems, clean the fish, carry in the coal and shovel the snow of the sidewalk, while her husband is of somewhere working i like hired man trying to sustain his po- sition. We know 1t IS too bad, but facts are stubborn things. Girls, don't angle after men tor the sake of marrying their position. Don't hunt down and marry a man simply because he has got a little money. If you can't love him, let up on him, let the poor tortured victim go free.
 If young and beautiful lady, with heart on her lip and soul within her eye, were to come 10 us and say candidly that she only wanted to marry us on account of our position in society, that she couldn't 1 find time to love us very much but would try and do her share in making our bank book look tired, we should say kindly, yet firmly, :" It cannot be. This thing must stop right here. Perhaps we have trlfled too long, bu, now we may as vel have an understanding. We are cold and proud. In such mesalliance noth- nothing can be seen ahead but life of misery ending in the divorce courts. It is far better that you should know the truth before i, is too late. Let time heal the wounds in your young heart which, perhaps few thoughtless words of ours may have caused. Do not ever again allude to this painful subject. Remem- Der, hereafter, we can only meet as friends. But if you still insist. if you still pursue us, if you won't be bluffed of, why we shall have to talk to our wife about it, and get her views upon so momentous a question to us both"

People who are in the habi, of getting married should always do it for love, pure snadulterated love, and never for wealth or position in society. Of course, in spite of all VIC can say or do, they will
 go right on marrying for position, but that is just what makes the divorce counts docket look like ships manifest. Too often it brings on the first symptoms of incompatibility of temperament. And the disease is apt to strike in, and spread, and become epidemic, and crop out in the young ones along with the scrofula. measles, chicken pox and general lassi-
