Srmntoms Of Asiatie Cholera.

The patient feels we'll UP to within
few hours of the attack. or, 1t may be,
noes to bed and sleeps soundly through
the night. and Immediately on rising
in the morning is seized with violent
fit of purging and vomiting. III JUN
ciously treated many persons recover
from this. the first stage Of cholera: but
if neglected, the tendency of the disease
is to grow rapidly worse The patient
complains of intense thirst and burning
heat at the pit of his stomach; he suffers
also excruciating pain from cramps IN
the muscles of the eXtremities; he Is ter
r..oly restless; and his urgent cry IS Tor
water to auench his thirst, and that some
one might rub his limbs, and thus relieve
the muscular spasm. The pulse Is rapid
and very weak, the respirations are hur-
ried, and the patients voice becomes
husky. His countenance is pinched,
and the integument of his body feels
inelastic and doughty, while the skin of
his hands and feet becomes wrinkled
and purplish in color. The duration OF
this, the second stage of cholera, Is
very uncertain-it may last for two
or three hours only, or may continue Tor
twelve or fifteen hours; but as long as the
pulse can be felt at the wrist there are
still good hopes of the sick persons recov-
erv. The weaker the pulse becomes, the
nearer the patient is to the third, or col
lapse, stage of cholera. from which prob
ably not more than thirty-tive per cent.
recover. In the third stage of the disease
the vomiting and purging continue,
although in a mitigated form, and the
skin is covered with a clammy perspira-
ton, especially if the cramps are still Sc
we're. The patient remains terribly rest
less, longing only for sleep, and that he
be supplied with water, His intellect is
clear; but he seldom expresses any anXi-
ETY. regarding worldly affairs although
fully conscious of the dangerous condi-
ton he is in. Sleep and plentiful sup
ply of drinking water are the sole desires
of the person passing through a collapse
stage of cholera. This condition seldom
lasts for more than twenty-four hours,
and reaction either commences within
that period or the patient dies in collapse
or passes on into the tepid stage, which
in ninety nine cases out of 100 ends
speedily in death On the other hand,
the sick person having been in the col
lapse stage of cholera some twenty-four
hours Git may be a longer or shorter pc
riod), the temperature of his body may
begin to rise, gradually creeping up to
the normal standard: the functions of an
imal life are slowly restored, and the sick
person RECEIVERS his health. QuaB1's Die

A Novel Record.

A recently deceased Frenchman kept a
novel record Twenty years ago he mar
ried, and on his wedding day took the
original resolution to keep yearly ac-
count of the number of kisses exchanged
with his wife until their union became
severed by the death of one or the other.
Just before he died he confded this &C
count to a friend for publication. Dur
ing the first year of welded life the kisses
exchanged reached to the colossal figure OF
81, 500, or hundred day on an average
but in the following twelve months there
was notable decrease, not more than
16. 900 being inscribed on the register,
while the third year shows still greater
falling off, the average number of kisses
being but ten a day And after the lapse
of five years a further reduction is re.
corded, and the account keepers task was
simplified, for only two kisses were ex-
changed during each twenty -four hours
lone on rising one on retiring to rest .
Later on. during the last ten years of his
married life, they ''only kissed each other
on leaving for or returning from a jour
ney," and he had very little trouble in
making up his annual domestic statistics.

Castaways on a Pacific Island.

The Pacific mail steamship Rio de
Janeiro brought TO this port Captain
Samuel r. Morrison, of Bath, Me-, master
Of the American ship Reindeer, which
was wrecked last January on one of the
islands Of the Marshall group; also on
the same steamer the captains daughter,
the mate of the ship ana a part of the
ships crew. Mr. Humphreys, the mate,
and the captains daughter were married
the day before the ship sailed, making
their bridal tour of a new ship on her
first voyage. While sailing along on
January 2 last, in water laid down on
the chart as clear, and ten miles from
any island, the ship struck hard and fast
on reef.
When the ship was found to be hope
lessly grounded and in danger Of break
ing up, the officers and crew, twenty
eight all told, accepted the advice OF
friendly natives and landed on the little
island Of Ujai, where they were kindly
treated by the islanders. The natives
live upon paste made Of arrowroot and
cocoanut, and on bread fruit and fish,
and wear very little clothing. They had
never come in contact with white persons
before and were consequently very
curious. AS soon as possible the sail
ors began TO build a schooner which
was forty feet long nine feet beam
and had five feet depth of hold. In
this the mariners sailed March Is. On
the 10th of January the second mate and
four men had sailed in the long boat for
Jaluit, 400 miles distant, to get succor.
March Is the steward died of drUpsy.
On the island were left. after the sailing
of the schooner with the captain, eleven
sailors and two natives, the mate, his
wife and nine sailors The captain con-
tinues the narrative as follows "We
reached Jaluit or Bonham island after a
rough passage of five days. Found two
German trading houses there, strictly on
the make; not so hospitable as the ma
tives at Ujai BY hiring money from
them at five per cent. per month and Civ

curity we managed to live, but they
would not send one of their schooners to

A People who Cannot Make Fire.

The Papuans Of the Maclay coast Of
New Guiana are represented by the Rus
sian explorer, Doctor Miklucho Maclay,
as being in the most primitive stage.
They are wholly unacquainted with
metals, and make their weapons of stone,
bones and wood. They do not know
how to start fire, though fire is used
among them. When the traveller asked
them how they made a fire.. they could
not understand his question, but they
regarded it as very amusing, and an
swered that when a persons fire went
out he got some of a neighbor. and, if
all the fires in the village should 90 out,
they would get it from the next village.
Some of the natives represented that
their fathers and grandfathers had told
them that they remembered a time, or
had heard from their ancestors that there
was a time, when fire was not known,
and everything was eaten raw. The ma
tives of the southern coast of New
Guiana, having no iron, shave themselves
now with a piece of glass Formerly
they shaved with flint, which they could
sharpen quite well, and used with con-
siderable dexterity, - Popular Science

Kauri Forests OF New Zealand.

The Kauri forests are thing alto
gether apart. They are rapidly dimin-
ishing before the aX of the lumberer.
The kauri is the pine tree of New Zea-
land. the sole representative of the conf
ferrous family, and very noble represen-
tativc it is, though by no means answering
to our ordinary notions of pine trees,
inasmuch as its foliage consists of leaves
instead of needless; but it Is tall and
straight as a mast, and very majestic
mast, for these stately trees range from
fifteen to fifty feet in glrth, and attain a
heighth of from hundred to two hun
dred feet ere they commence throwing
out the branches which form their crown
of somber green. The trees stand close
together, forming endless groups and
clusters, and long aisles of tall, dark pill
lars, like marble columns in some won
drous cathedrals of giants. For the
bark of the kauri is smooth and very
dark and the only relief to the sOlemnity
of these forests is the carpet eff luxuriant
ferns and the delicate creeping ferns
which Irvine lovingly around the stately
stems of the unbending pines, and lend
them a touch of fairy-like life, more
especially when a ray of mellow sunlight,
gliding their dainty fronds, seems to
shine with magic beauty through the
dim twilight, which prevails even at noon
beneath the kauri shade.

Ostrich Eggs as Food.

Twenty hungry men were recently Sc
down to meal composed of single
egg. 1t was an ostrich egg. For whole
hour it was boiled, and though there
were some misgivings as to its being
cooked, the shell was broken, for curios.
ity could no longer be restrained, and a
three pound hard-boiled egg laid upon
the plate. But aside from its size there
was nothing peculiar about it. 1t had
the white and blush tinge of duck eggs
and the yolk was of the usual color 1t
tasted as it looked like duck egg
and had no flavor peculiar to itself.
But it was immense! As it takes TWEEN
ty-eight hen eggs to equal in weight the
ostrich egg which was cooked, it is evil
dent that the host knew what he was
about in cooking only one. There was
enough and to spare.-Alta California

Female Stock Gambling.

1t is impossible to believe all that is
said about the prevalence of gambling
on the stock exchange. In France stock
gambling has largely increased among
Frenchwomen of means. while those
whose incomes are small indulge them
selves by risklng moderate sums in the
innumerable tombolas and lotteries that
are constantly taking place. The boursc
is, of course, the great temple, and the
man who can give the 'straightest tips
is always welcome guest in the best
houses. In London. although stock
gambling has certainly increased among
women of late years, it is not nearly as
extensive as some people would lead US
to believe.-Paris -imericaR Register
