Quinine as a Cause OF Insanity

American Medical Weekly.
The father of a Washington lawyer
gull of escapades, has recently given
the following explanation of the erratie
victim Thinking it a safe thing to do,
my son has been in the habit for months
ofcarrying quinine in his pocket, anG tax
ing it in small but frequent doses, and
the result is an eated, sanguine state OF
mind, quite beyond the bounds of rea-
son. His memory is not yet impaired,
and the marked improvement conse-
quent upon being deprived of the drug,
gives his friends reason to expect COM

quinine may be in many cases, it is, like
chloral or opium or alcohol, exceeding

which naturally arises in the mind ofthe
physicians on reading this is, whether
quinine has ever been reported as caus-
ing insanity. There are at least two such
Eases ON record, both of them reported
in the Journal of Nervous and Mental
Diseases, July, 1884, In both, insanity
always followed upon the use ofquinine,

Another Story of the Sea.

Captain Francis Oliver, young Yam
kee skipper, arrived at San Francisco by
the city of Toxic the other day. He has
been trading between Hong Kong and
Shanghai, but wants no more to do with
Chinese waters. He once sailed in his
lorcha, Rose, for Shanghai. On his way
he sighted piraiical junk. "She bore
down upon u.s." he relates, until |
could see at her fore and mainmasts
heads the arrangements always carried
by these predatory Williams for throwing
burning 'sstink-p pots" down on the decks
Of their enemies. The junk was four
times as large as the Rose and swarmed
with the pirates. The Rose was headed
right foi them. had eight eannons on
board, besides rifles, boarding pixies and
cutlasses sufficient for all purposes. As
we drew near 70 the Junk ! observed one
of her men go up to the stink-pots at the
mainmast head and another to those on
the foremost. Al length | observed

flash of fire and thin line of blue smoke

head. | knew that in another moment
a burning stink-pot would be on our deck
unless we made sure sail and quick work

ultaneously. Both of the pirates fell to
the deck of the junk and the stink-pots
they had ignlted with them. The Rose
was to the windward of the junk. put
my helm hard down, got close alongside
and fastened to her with graphing hooks
The pirates made rush to board my

and pixies. About fifty of them crowded
unou me and a smear was riven through
my body, entering my left side below the

insensible Ny men thought was dead,
but kept up the fight. The junk had
caught fire from the burning stink pots
that fell from aloft. The Rose cast off
the .grappling,,hooks and got away from
the junk, standing offa sufficient distance
to see her burn and 20 down. Every
one of the internal crew was kille or

GIVING AND GAINING.

Though the river to the sea
Us forever flowing,
Though the blossom greets the bee,
All its sweets bestowing;
Still the river fioweth fleet,
Still the roses heart is sweet.
It's the grand, eternal law,
Giving Is but gaining;
Nature knows no single flaw
In her wise ordaining,
He who gives mid bounty stands;
Who withholds hath empty hands.

Clear OFF the Debts.


Will not every family which is Grip
pied by debt consult and plan to dimin-
ish their Indebtedness. 1t is better by
far to sell forty acre lot off quarter
section while prices are high and while
there is a demand, than to wait until
hard times COMPEL sale at such price
as NAV be offered. or the loans made
five years ago and now falling due only
forty per cent. are paid or diminished,
while sixty per ceEt. are renewed or in
creased. In one of our most fertile pros
porous inlands counties the annual IN
terest on farm and school fund mort
CAGES reaches close to one hundred
thousand dollars per year-a depletion
which can only last while the land is
extraordinarily fertile under careless
cultivation and during period OF good
crops and fair prices. Two successive
crop failures would bankrupt a large
proportion of our farmers, and num-
Der of business men doing an extensive
credit business as well. When the
money crisis is upon us II is too late to
avert distress, and therefore the pres
ent opportunity TO retrench must be ae-
cepted. One reason why SO many men
fail as self-employers, whether on the
farm, in the store, or in the manufact-
ory. is the absence Of that careful ana
daily reflection and pl inning which all
successful business requires. The def
cheney in this respect is so fatal that
neither economy nor industrious habits
are substitute.-Nonpareil.
Directions For Frying Oysters.
From the Caterer.
For this purpose each and every oyster
should be as large, plump and fat-fresh
of course, not salt-as you can procure.
Drain off their juice, put them in bowl
cover them with ice water. let stand
few minutes, then place them in colan-
der and drain them. Dry between two
soft, thin towels, without pressing them
and lay upon a moulding board lightly
coated with powdered cracker dust, fine
ly sifted Beat up to thick, rich Gus
tard as many eggs and an equal measure
of cream as you need for moistening all
the oysters, adding to the last a salt tea
spoonful of salt Tor every three eggs.
Have ready a suiiiciency of fnely-sifted
bread crumbs, prepared by rubbing the
heart of a stale loaf OF white bread in
tewel and passing Through sieve. Dip
the oysters one by one into the beaten
egg and roll them in the crumbs till coy
cred in every part. By no means fatten
them, but keep them as round and
plump as possible. Lay them on nap
kins and keep them in cool place for
half an hour. Again dip, roll in crumbs
and set aside for another half hour.
Now lay them upon the wire stand,
not quite touching each other; set the
stand into a deep frying-pan nearly full
with whatever frying mixture you use,
which must be boiling hot and fry quick
ly to a deep yellow color, but do not
burn them, or they will be tough and
greasy. Lift the stand out of the pan,
drain quickly and serve the oysters on
hot white napkin placed on hot platter
and garnish with sprigs of parsley or
ter-cress, stuffed olives and small bits
of lemon.

HOW TO Warm Cold Feet.

People. who write or sew all day, or
rather those who take but little exer-
else, may warm their cold feet without
going to the fire. All that is necessary
is to stand erect and very gradually to
lift ones self upon the tips of the toes,
so as to put all the tendons of the foot at
full strain. This is not to hop or to jump
up and down, but simply to rise-the
slower the bstter-upon tiptoe, and TO
remain standing on the point of the toes
as long as possible, then gradually COM
ing to the natural position. Repeat this
several times, and, by the amount of
work the tips of the toes are made to
do in sustaining the body's weight, a
sufficient and lively circulation is set up.
Even the half-frozen ear driver can
carry this plan out. 1t is one rule of
the Swedish movement" system, and
as motion warmth is much bet
ter than fire warming, persons who suf-
fer with cold feet at night can try this
plan just before retiring to rest.
Double Whitewash For OutbuiIdngs
Common lime wash may be rendered
very durable and water proof by thin
ming the slaked lime to the proper con-
sistency or fluidity by adding skinned
milk. 1t may also be made durable by
cutting up pound of ordinary hard soap
into each five gallons of the best lime,
and then thinning it down with hot
water and applying it hot. There are
many other ways of rendering the wash
durable by the use ofcomplicated mix
lures of boiled rice. glue, etc, but it is
cheaper to give fresh coat every spring
than to bother with them. When one
hasn't plenty of sweet skimn d milk,
the soap mixture is the simplest and
most easily made.
