Mrs. f. y. L. writes TO know what
is the trouble with her little daughter
six years old The glands about her
neck are swollen and very red and ten
der, she has several assesses in other
parts of the body, and behind the ear,
her eyes and nose are running all the
time, she catches cold very easily, the
eyelids are red and thickened. her head
is covered with dandruT, there is a
greenish discharge from the ears; has
been affected this way for several
months.
The disease is undoubtedly scrofula
and is to be treated by feeding the
child on the most nutritious diet possi-
bic, giving plenty Of nourishing food,
milk, graham bread. Indian meal
bread, fresh vegetables, rare tender
meat. fruit, etc For medicines little
sulphur will be found to help her.
Put spoonful Of sulphur in an
ounce Of alcohol; shake it up and al
how the sulphur to settle, then pour five
drops Of this into a glass Of water, and
take a spoonful three times a day.
This treatment must be kept up for a
long time-Dr Georgs H. Taibot

Taking Tea with the japanese.

Says traveller: "The great peculiar
ity of this tea drinking ceremony con
sists in the cxactncss with which every.
thing is done. \ spoon, cup. or what
ever is handled, has to be taken hold of
in particular way, set down in a par.
ticular place, and touched in particu.
lar part, and everything is done with
the same strange precision. What ]
saw was part of the ceremony Of thin
tea drinking and part Of the ceremony
Of thick tca-drinking. but the whole
is simply a lesson in those laws OF
politencss which were formerly so
rigidly exacted in every mansion and
on every state occasion; and which
are still largely kept up in the houses
of the old aristocracy. Originally, the
ceremony was OF secret character. and
no servant entered the house in which
it took place-.thc master kindling the
fire, boiling the water, making the tea
and, in short, doing everything for the
guests; but in later years it has become
a mere ceremony Of an extremely fash
ionahle character. one or two things
in this service struck me rs especially
strange Thus, both host and guests
knelt from the time they entered the
building till the time they left 1t; and
even when the master had tO 60 10
little back room 20 fetch water. cups
or whatever else he might require. he
shunled on his kncss 10 the slide which
served as door. and then, having
opened it, shufIled through the opening
till he was well On the other side. when
he rose to his feet: but this be must
not do while in the presence Of his
guests. Tho chief guest. moreover. is
the spokesman for the company. and
no word is uttered save hy the chief
guest or hos, during the service. be II
ever SO long. The chief gucs, also de-
mlnds everything thu, he asks fYr
tea and refreshments. but the particu-
lar moment at which each request has
to be made is arranged by the code Of
etiquette. At opportune moments the
chief guest also asks If he may look at
the tea-caddy, spoon, a bowl. or the tea
pot. Receiving the necessary permis-
sion, he shudlcs on his knees to the
place where the object demanded is
takes it, bows his forehead to tho
ground, then rising. touches his fore
head with the object received, and
begins to examine 1t. Looking at the
teapot. he asks IL It is silver: then.
who made It; then opening it and
smelling the tea, what tea costs per
pound; after which inquiries he passes
it 10 the next guest. and makes re-
mark 10 the host which should. IL pos.
sible. be at the same time a compli-
ment and a pun. After each guest has
duly inspected the object. the chief
guest shulles again across the floor,
and returns 1t to its place Object
after object is brought, examined and
returned in the same manner"

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.


A Washington letter says that Miss
Bayard is not only very pretty, but ex-
tremely bright. She was the young
lady who astonished Oscar Wilde by
her keen repartee to his patronizing
remark "Are you going to the Ger.

esthete, "if my lecture doesn't fatigue
me too much. Are you going, Miss
Bayard ?" Eyes, If your lecture doesn't
