AMPUTATIoN AND RUM.-Some two
years ago sea captain, patient of mine,
and by no means had amateur doctor, on
returning from sea, told me somewhat
gleefully that he had performed an ampu.
tation. Whilst his ship was at Rurata, an
uncivilixed island in the South Pacific, a
poor native got his arm entangled in u
sugar crushing machine. AS there was
no doctor on the island, my friend the
captain was summoned, and at once
recognized the necessity for removing the
shattered fragments of the limb. The
shrieks and struggles of the powerful
aboriginal we're most fearful. Recognizing
the necessity for taking steps to save the
mans life, the captain hurried off to his
ship, and returned with the necessary inn
plements, and, in addition, quart of the
newest and most potent rum. In the
absence of chloroform he induced his
patient TO swallow this fiery compound,
wineglassful after wineglassful, until in.
toxication was produced, and subsequent.
ly profound alcoholic insensibility. Then
the tourniquet was applied and amputa-
ton successfully performed. Recovery
rapidly took place. So pleased was the
savage with the effect of ane sthesia that
he subsequently, offered to let my friend
cut off some of his toes, provided that the
process of inducing insensibility was
repeated, DR.. Harrison, in Medical

How THINGS APPEAR TO THE INSANE.
The first that remember of my attack
was while l was riding in railroad car.
1t seemed to me that the passengers in the
forward part were getting up amateur
theatricals. The fact that this did not sur.
prise me, nor appear at all out OF place,
illustrates one curious feature Of insanity,
and that is its close similarity in many
respects to dreaming. 1t is well known
that the strange phantasmagoria attendant
upon most of our dreams never strikes US
at the time as at all astonishing, illogical
or contradictory, because the critical fac
ulty in sleep is partially and perhaps
wholly dormant. And so also is it IN lnsan-
ity. And as a sound or touch will sug.
gest or give direction to an ordinary
dream, so everything that occurs within
the sight or hearing of all insane man
affects him in like manner. Also he has
no more control over his words and actions,
when the insanity is complete, than a
somnambulist. And when patient comes
to himself, after having been insane, he
feels as though he had been having along,
and sometimes, a very unpleasant dream.
Some of my delusions were of trlghtlul
character, and resembled nightmare
more than anything else; but often they
were by no means more disagreeable. Ol
course, it seemed strange to me atterward
that | co, Id have been carried away 6y
such absurdities. At one time | thought
that the end of the world had come and
that the day of judgment was at hand
This was somewhat remarkable, because
had not for years been believer in the
scriptural prophecies relating to those two
events Nor had | any faith in the doc
trine that there is hell of fire; yet in
Imagination | visited that place of torment
and witnessed the tortures Of the damned
without, however, getting scorched my.
self. Some conceits, that l had come
across in books, occasionally suggested
material for my mind to work on. saw
men whose souls l believed had been
taken from their bodies, leaving behind
the intelligent personal identiiy-an idea
suggested by IA character described in
Bulwer's Strange Story" Again
thought that demons occasionally reani-
mated human bodies after death; and this
fancy I must have got from a dramatic
work by Bishop Coke. entitled Saul" in
which the evil spirit sent to trouble that
unfortunate monarch terminated and took
possession of the body of priest whom
Saul had slain. l mention these instances
as serving TO show the dream-like charac
ter of insanity.

He HAD HEARD.-A good story is told
of one of the old time Philadelphia Quak-
ers, whose Sterling integrity was ingen-
iously commingled with worldly shrewd
ness. He was an extensive vessel owner,
and during his life made fortune, which
has since, in the hands of his heirs, been
doubled again and again. At one time,
when a long period of stormy weather had
greatly delayed shipping of all kinds, he
became alarmed for the safety of ship
loaded with a most valuable cargo, and
several weeks overdue. Going to an
insurance agent, he truthfully told him
that he feared the vessel had been lost,
but if the agent wished to take the risk he
had no objections. OF course the agent
hesitated and put him off from day to day,
hoping for private information regarding
the missing craft: One bright morning
the Quaker drove up to the insurance
Office and called to the agent; Thee need
not make out those papers; have heard
from the ship" Instantly the office was
in hustle, and in a few moments the
agent came hurrying forward. exclaim-
ing; "Oh, you are too late; the papers
are already made out; here they are" As
the Quaker looked them over, Qhe ink
being scarcely dry,) the agent asked
"Well, what have you heardP" Il have
heard" responded the Quaker, with child
like simplicity, as he put the documents
in his pocket, Il have heard tn the ship
has gone to the bottom"

Poison IvY.-The poison ivy, also call
ed poison oak. and in some localities
known as Marcury, is often the cause of
great distress. The vine is abundant all
over the country, one form being low,
running along on banks and rambling
along over stone walls. Another form
climbs the highest trees. clinging to the
bark by its many rootets. 1t is often
confounded with the Virginia creepIr
indeed, we have known it to be planted as
an ornament vine, it having been mistaken
for that. The two are readily told apart,
the Virginia creeper having its dark green,
shiny leaves five. parted, while the light
green leaves of the poison vine are three
parted. The poison ivy is so very abun-
dant, that were all equally susceptible to
its influence, we should hear much more
of its effects than we do at present. With
many the poison produces only slight
eruption on the skin and an intense Itch
ing. Others are more seriously affected,
and the face swells up to such an extent
that the features are hardly visible.
Nearly every locality has its popular REM
edies for the poison and new ones are
frequently proposed. AS a general thing
most cases are relieved by keeping the
bowels open by the use of salts and wash
ing the eruptions with a st-oDg solution
of sugar of lead. The latest remedy which
is now going the rounds is to bathe atfec-
ted parts with lime water as hot as it can
be borne. This is simple, the remedy is
usually at hand and is worth trying, as
other alkaline washes have been found
useful. No harm can result.-Amertcan

PARTING WITH HIS TREAsURE.-A deli

PARTING WITH His TREAsURE.-A deli.
cate and elfeminat looking Englishman
occupied one of the benches in the employ
ment office at Castle Garden, last week.
His face was haggard, his clothes hung
loosely about him as if his frame, under
the pressure of elty, had shrunk away
from them, and his big eyes looked
appealingly to every one who entered the
doorway. In his lap little girl about
four wears old was seated,-his only Joy,
and at the same time his only burden. She
was blonde of the purest type. Her
hands and arms were of perfect mould.
her form was plump and admirably pro
porlioned for one so young, and her
lace was the superlatiye of sweetness.
When she smiled, the otherwise serious
outlines of her features broke into the
most bewtching dimples. and her large
blue ewes twinkled like a pair oftiny stars.
The couple arrived early in the week. His
wife died when the child was three months
old, AMI since that time he had taken the
mothers place in the care of their off,
spring. A sister in America wrote him to
meet her here. He CAME, and found that
she had recently married and gone he did
not know where. In his distress, he offer
cd his child to any one who would accept

CARING FOR THE HAIR.-A lively old
lady, who died far advanced in her eight
les, and was proud in her extreme old age
of her beautiful dark hair, was accustomed
when a girl to hang up her night cap
every morning filled with salt. This was
shaken out into japanese dressing box
every night on retiring, but enough salt
remained clinging to the cambria to secure,
as she thought. the remarkable preserva'
ton of her hair. DIR. Holmes has sung or
gossiped about the "winening palt,'
which is one of the teltale tracks oI
passing years; but until lately the pre-.
vailing fashions Of dressing the hair did
not make any parting to show, Those
who wear the hair in true classic style,
with the pure white line from brow to
crown, may find some use in the following
recommendation of the New York Evening
Post for Strengthening the hair and renew
ing thin spots: ITO quart of warm
water allow one teaspoonful of salt, and
Just before retiring for the night wet the
head thoroughly with this, not along the
the widening seam alone, but the entire
head. Repeat this operation for one OF
two nights each week until good results
are apparent. 1t is likely that the vigor.
GUS rubbing which this treatment makes
necessary afterward is of as much use tt
the hair as the saline treatment.-PhiId

near the village of Highgate, on the north
side of the Missisquoi river and not far
from the Congregational church. 1t is a
lovely spot overlooking the falls and the
adjacent country. Bro. Trevillian. the
pastor of the Methodist church at High
gate, selected the occasion of the regular
quarterly meeting as the time for this
meeting. The first three days were lovely
and the services were held from a stand
erected in the grove. with seats for 1000
to 5000. tent was put up for social
services. Monday was cold and necessi-
tated the use of the church, also for
service Tuesday, but otherwise meetings
were held in the park.
Rev. d. P. Bragg of Grand Isle preached
Friday morning and again in the evening.
Fourteen sermons were preached during
the meetings; all with numerous exhorta.
morning and did not hear the sermons of
Friday. l heard Rev. S. G. Vail of Shell
don, at IL o'clock, preach from the house
on the rock and on the sand. 2o'clock 2
Saturday Rev. f. II. Roberts of Swanton
spoke from Jude 2lst and 23d inclusive
keep yourselves in the love of God" In
the evening Rev. r. Morgan, presiding
elder, spoke from John 1:42-."Anderw
brought Simon to Jesus"
Sunday the lovefeast, the sacrament.
two prayer meetings and three sermons
made very busy day but called a blessed
day by many. r. Morgan spoke in the
morning from Heb. 1l:23-Moses; T.
Trevillian, at 3 O'Clock, from 1. Kings
1S:2l-Choice; r. Morgan, evening, from
II. Kings 5-Naaman.
H. J Moore spoke Monday forenoc n
from Jonah 3: 3:2-"Preach the preaching
that bid thee" and in the afternoon from
Titus 2:1l-14. In the evening F. H..
Roberts preached from Ps. 5l:10, and
again Tuesday afternoon from Acts 1852.
S. C. Vail closed in the evening from
John 4: "a.
The social services in the tent were
seasons of interest but the one that
followed the sermon of F. H. Roberts
Tuesday afternoon from the tent-"Have
you received the Holy Ghost since ye
believed?" will never be forgotten by any
present. A tidal wave of holy influence
swept over the tents company and made
them all of one soul rs it seemed for the
hour and reminded many strongly of the
day of pentecost, What will be the result
of this grove meeting the future will
show. 1t is said that so few conversions
are reported at any Of our camp meetings
this year. There is a cause; if it could be
found out and remcdied we should hail its
removal benediction and call the discov.
erer blessed. The writer puts in no special
claim here but says if the church could
get the tidal wave above descended we
think it would essentially help.
