states, on the authority of DR.. Benia-
min Clarke, that in the East Indies
warm milk is used to great extent as
a specific for diarrhea. A pint every
four hours will check the most violent
diarrhea, stOmach-ache, incipient chol-
era, and dysentery. The milk should
never be boiled, but only heated suffi-
ciently to be agreeably warm, not too
hot to drink. Milk which has been
boiled is unfit for use. This writer
gives several instances in arresting the
disease, among which is the follow
ing
The writer says: at has never failed
in curing in six or twelve hours, and
have tried it, | should think, fifty
times. | have also given it to dying
man who had been subject to dysentery
eight months, latterly accompanied by
one contingent diarrhea, and it acted
on him like Il charm. In two days his
diarrhea was gone; in three weeks he
became hale, hearty man and now
nothing that may hereafter occur will
shake his faith in not milk. A writer
has also communicated to the Medical
Times 81 Gazette a statement of the
value OF milk in twenty six cases of ty-
phOid fever, in every one of which its
great value was apparent. 1t checks
d'arrhea, and nOurishes and cOOls the
body. People suffering from diseases
need food quite as much as those in
health, and much more so in certain
diseases where there is a rapid waste
of the system. Frequently all ordinary
food, in certain diseases, is rejected bv

patient but nature, ever beneficent.

is beneficial-sOme directly curative.
Such food is milk" The writer in the |
journal last quoted, DIR. Alexander
Yale, after giving particular Observa-
tions upon the point above mentioned,
its action i'll checking diarrhea, its
nOurishing properties, and its action in |
soothing the body, says: "We believe |
that milk nOurishes in fever, promotes |
sleep, wards off delirium, soOthes the
intestines, and, in fine, is the sine qua

We have lately tested the value of
milk in scarlet fever, and learn that it |
is now recommended by the medical |
faculty 1T all cases of this often very
distressing children's disease. Give all !
the milk the patient will take, even
during the period of greatest fever. 1t

acts well upon the stomach, and is in
this way Il blessed thing in this sick

Lemons.

We never heard anybody yet say an
unkind thing of lemons. Like GER
tain very rare class of people, they
seem to have the quality of agree
ing with all sorts of dispositions and
temperaments. The doctors praise
them and so do the quacks. Even Mrs.
Caudle couldn't deliver curtain lee
ture with a lemon for Il subject. An
exchange suggests that if, when people
feel the need of an acid, they would
let vinegar alone and use lemons or
sour apples, they would feel Just as well
satisfied and receive no injury, and
suggestion may not come amiss as to
good plan when lemons are cheap in
the market. A person should, in those
times, purchase several dozen at once,
and prepare them for use in the warm,
weak days of spring and summer, when
acids of lemons and ripe fruits are so
grateful and useful. Press your hand
on the lemon and roll it back and forth
briskly on the table, to make it squeeze
more easily; then press the juice into
Il bowl or tumbler-never into tin !;
strain out all the seeds, as they give
bad taste. Remove all the pulp from
the peel and boil in water-a pint for "A
dozen pulps-tO extract the acid. A
few minutes boiling is enough; then
strain the water with the juice of the
lemons put pound of white sugar
to a pint of the juice boil ten minutes !;
bottle it and your lemonade is ready.
Put a tablespoonful or two of this
lemon syrup in a glass of water and
you have a cooling, healthful drink.

There is yet an essay to be written up e
on the maladies and woes produced by
the careless consumption of ice. 1t is
only with us that this takes place.
Abroad. ice is simply luxury only re-
sorted to at times; even in California
the residents are wary of it. In short,
ice is a very good friend in moderation,
but bitter enemy when the intimacy

The not infrequent charge that the
usual college training does not fit young
men for the activities of modern life
has been met i'll 4 notable measure by
the university of Pennsylvania, which
has re-arranged its courses of collegi-
ate study and incorporated new de-
parture. As now arranged the student
has at the end of the sophomore year
the choice of three distinct fields He
may continue in the regular academic
course he may study for diploma in
science or in the special line of mechan-
ical or civil engineering or he NAV in
the school Of finance fit himself for
business life. In this last course the
studies include political economy, con-
stitutiOnal law, mercantile law and
practice, the history and laws of
finance, legislation and administration
and the the theory and practice of ac-
counting, as well as general literature,
history and modern languages. This
is an attempt to enlarge and advance
the lines of education which promises
well and is likely to be watched with
no little interest.

A Bears Winter Nap.

Mr.. James Hopper, of Edwardsburg,
Is the happy possessOr of a year-old
bear, for which he has snug quarters
prepared in the shed. On the 9th of
last December, his hearship, no doubt
feeling drowsy, retired to his quarters,
and much tn the surprise of his owner,
refused to he coaxed ont again, even
sayory dishes placed at the door of his
box had not the slightest effect upon
him. Weeks passed into months, and
still bruin remained in a state of leth-
a"gy, until people began to look for
ward to the 18th of March, when all
well regulated bears are supposed to
come forth and look for their shadows.
But alas for the old story, he came not
forth, and it was not until the 2Sth of
the month that he cOndescended to
poke his brown nose out and partake
of little milk, and not until the 9th
of April that he may be said to have
partaken of n square meal His long
fast does not seem to have disagreed
with him, as he looks just as well as

The telegraph pole nuisance gets a
smart flip by the recent decision of
the common pleas court at Columbus,
Q. A land owner in the city brought
suit to restrain the Western Union
company frOII erecting poles or string
ing wires in the street in front of his
property. The company made a lively
fight, especially as an Ohio law author
ICES the approp, iatiOn of right of way
for telegraph purposes, but the court
tirally held that poles could not be
erected in the manner proposed, and a
perpetual injunction was issued. The
grounds upon which the decision rested
were that the street belonged to the
public only for ordinary highway pur-
poses, that abutting owners were enti-
tied to the urObstructed use of it other
wise, and that the statute only gave
telegraph companies the power to ac-
quire right of way by process of con-
demnatiOn, just as railroad might.
The case will of course go to the su-
preme court.

English capitalists are growing en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of
money making by land purchases in
this country. The great investments
made of late in Florida have been much
written about, but other southern
states are attracting interested atten-
ton in England. One tract of about a
third of ii million acres in Texas has
been bought by one English company,
and another has lately bought over "a
million and quarter acres in Missis-
sippi. These men are confident that
southern land, which can now be
bought for trifie, must rapidly and
greatly increase in value, and their
plan is to make small outlay for
drainage and the encouragement of
colonization, with the belief that they
will be able either to exact paying
rents or sell at large profit.

THE NEW POSTAL NOTES.
The Printing Now Going On-Work of
Distribution.

Nel0 YORK tribune.
The new postal notes for the transmits
sion of small sums of money are now be-
ing prepared by the Homer Lee Bank
Note Company, in this city. They will be
ready for delivery about the 1st of Sep
TENDER. The notes are in shape nearly
like bank notes. They are printed in a
blank form, spaces being left for the
names of the post office from which they
are sent and at which they are paid. On
the right hand side of each of the notes
are three columns of figures-One for the
dollars, containing the figures from one
to four, the second for the dimes from
the cents from one to nine.
The Postmaster who sells one
of these notes will punch the figures in
dicating the amount for which the note
will be received. For instance, if a note
for So 90 is wanted the figures in the dol
lars column, in the dimes column and
in the cents column will be punched
out. All cOunterfeiting or "raising'' is
thus prevented. The notes may be bought
of any value from one cent to 81 SO. A
charge of three cents will be made in adj
dition to the face value of the note. The
great advantage possessed by the postal
notes over money orders is that the for
mer are transferable, so that it will not
be necessary for those who receive them
to go in person for the money. They may be
used in payment of goods or for other pur-
poses, but must be presented for payment
within a few months or their collection
will be more difficult.
Frank Raymond, the political leader of
one faction of Twenty third Assembly
district Republicans, has recently been
appointed agent to attend to the dis
tribution of the postal notes. His salary
is $500 year. His duties are indefinite.
He is supposed to keep a general super
vision over the work of the contractors
who print the notes. Applications for
notes must be made to him, and he will
see that they are sent to the offices as re-
quested. 1t is not supposed that the
duties of the office will be laboriOus after
the law is fairly in operation. The post
offices will probably make applications
for amounts large enough to supply them
for several months or year, and it will
not be difficult to attend to the orders
that will be sent in after the first few
months. The New York office will proba-
bly, not require many of the postal notes
for use in sending money out of the city,
but it is expected that very large num-
Der will be received and paid here. The
daily and weekly papers, which receive
so many money orders that special boxes
for their accommodation are fitted up at
the post office, will probably receive in
stead large numbers of postal notes. They
will also be largely sent for dress patterns
and for small articles of merchandise.
The law which was passed early in March
requires that the notes shall be prepared
within six months of the time of its pas

The Chief of the Dandies


The chief dandy at Cape May changes
his suits five or six times day. Early
in the morning he puts on a corduroy coat
and knee breaches, or knickerbOckers,
such as bicycle riders wear, and in which
he takes a walk. On his return, he dresses
for breakfast in a suit notable for wide
checks and loud yellow. At bathing time
he saunters down to the beach in a
pajama: that is to say, a loose sack and
wide trousers, made of light-colored stuff,
girlishly trimmed, and normally worn in
ones bedroom. His advent on the sands
in such a rig astounds those who have
not become accustomed to him, and
alarms them a little, too, because they
get the idea at first that he is a
lunatic. 1t might be expected that
he would be still more remarkable
when attired for the water, but here occurs
a disappointment. He appears in plain
and conventional bathing suit of loose
flannel, because he knows that his at
tenuated form could not stand COMPARE
son with those robust fellows who battle
in scant tights. In the afternoon he eX-
hibits himself, for lcunging or driving, in
a costume of white; and in the evening
he squeezes himself into a seemingly i'm
possible black frOck coat and dark trous-
ers, 1.-The former is conceivable" says
the writer, eff he wears cOrsets, as they
say he does but how he gets his panta-
looms on is problem. His legs are small
enough for the purpose. But do his feet
screw off and on, or has he discovered a
way of donning them shirt fashion over
his dear little headY'

A singular incident Of the War.


In the early part of 1864 a short but
spirited fight occurred at place in East
Tennessee called cambridge, between a
part Of Longstreets corps and a consid-
cradle force of Federal cavalry. Many
were killed on both sides. Among the
Confederate dead was man named Sea-
ford, from North Carolina, who had been
a professor of mathematics in one of the
colleges of that State, and who was one
of the finest looking men we ever saw.
He was private in the Washington Light
Infantry from Charleston, s, c., and
would not accept a commission, though
it was rendered him several times. He
was buried on the spot where he
was killed, and his comrades returned to
their quarters-several miles away. About
two weeks after the fight a letter came to
his address, The Captain of the company
opened it, and it proved to be from young
lady to whom SeafOrd was engaged to be
married. 1t was written on the very day
the fight occurred at cambridge, related
dream the writer just had, in which she
saw SeafOrd lying dead on the battlefield,
shot through the left misunderstanding the
death wound exactly as it was, and even
the topography of the field, though she
had never seen it, and in all probability
knew nothing of the battle. She begged
him to send her a lock of his hair as
sacred memento should anything happen
to him,
