SmaIl.Pox and Scarlet Fever.

A Weybridge gentleman hands us a
recipe for a smallpox cure published in
a newspaper some years since. The rem
cdy was recommended, originally, by a
correspondent of the Stockton (Cal.)
Herald. who wrote as follows:
at is as unfailing as fate and con-
quers in every instance. 1t is harmless
when taken by well person. 1t will
also cure scarlet fever. Here is the re-
cipe as | have used it and cured my
children of scarlet fever; here it is as !
have used it to cure smallpox when
learned physicians said the patient must
die: Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove (digitalis), one grain; half tea
spoonful of sugar; mix with two table
spoonfuls OF water. Take spoonful
every hour. Either disease will disap-
pear in twelve hours. For a child small
or dose according TO age. If counties
would cempel their physicians to use
this. there would be no need cf pest
houses The correspondent says, fur
ther. that the recipe was given to the
world by the most scientific school of
the word-that of Paris"
Accompanying the newspaper slip re
produced above is the following certiti-
cate, signed by Rev. f. E. Curtis of
Weybridge:
"Thc undersigned has used the en-
closed recipe for three of his own chill
dren, and has known of its being used in
several eases of scarlet fever, and has
never known it to fail"

Industrial Accidents in Germany.

A recent German paper contains an
interesting census of accidents that oc-
CURED in the factories ana manufacture
ing establishments throughout Gcrma-
ny during August, September, October
ana November last year. The inqui-
ries extended over 93,5j4 shops and
factories, employing 1,6l5,253 work
men and $40 ,29j women--in all, !, ,957,-
BIS individuals. OF these, during the
four months, G62 were killed, eleven of
them being women. In addition, there
were l2I rendered completely, though
not permanently, incapacitated. Tenn
porary loss of work through accident
happsned to 21,6ii men and 7OS
women, the total number of these who
had suffered being 29,57i. Taking this
calculation for the year (although it
should not be forgotten that accidents
fluCtuatc according TO the time Of Year,
the total would be SS,732, or about IS
per 1000.
Among the list of industries that
figure in these accidents the greatest
number of fatalities was experienced

The MARQUIS, Shot.

Inc Marquis Shot.
There is good story told OF the
Marquis of Waterford (Lord Charles
Beresford's uncle) and the way he
served young fellow whose indiffer-
ence to the lives and limbs of other
people when out shooting with them
had gained for him somewhat of
reputation. The young man, though
be ought to have been deprived of his
gun license by special act of parlia-
ment, was the son of duke of such
high standing in the political world
that nobody ventured more than Il mild
remonstrance with him for his care
lessness, and while few cared to join a
shooting party of which he made one,
his position got him invited where
men of more caution but less blood
would have been excluded. 1t so
happened that one October both
the marquis and Lord Joccline
Clinton-the young man in ques-
tion-found themselves staying for the
shooting at Wolterton park, Lord Or
ford's place in Norfolk. There was
large party staying at the house, and
more than one fortunate escape from
Lord Joccline's reckless gun was the
nightly topic in the smoking room.
Several of the men had already been
gra2ed on one or two occasions by shots
fired ut close quarters, and one who
had been his nearest neighbor one
morning had one of his whiskcrs and
eyebrows singcd of 10y flash from
muzzle hecdlcssly placed within an inch
OF his cheek. Lord Jocelinc paid small
heed to the remarks he heard, and
laughIngly treated all that was said rs
joke. But Lord Waterford smoked
in the talk so far rs to contide to
friend, who sat near, his determination
to put an end TO the young mans ex-
ploits should it come in his way to do
so, 1t IS said that Lord Joceline over
heard the remark but said nothing.
At all events, next day the party
went out as usual, and, rs chance would
have it, when shooting an outlying
cover, Lord Waterford and Lord Joce-
line stood ten feet apart. In the midst
OF an exciting hattue rabbit started
out Of the bushes and ran between the
two. Lord Joccline. disrcgarding all
orders TO the contrary, lcvclcd and
fired at it. The rabbit got safely away,

There is but little originality of
character in the world. Most men are
imitators. They do that they have

genius or courage to strike cut a new

mode of education tends greatly 10 this
