A Cure for Diphtheria.

DR.. Delthil, a French physician,
says that a sure cure for any ordinary
case of diphtheria is to utilize the va
pors of liquid tar and turpentine so as
TO dissolve the tibrinous exudations
that choke up the throat and lead to
such fatal results in that dreaded dis
ease. DIR. Delthills process is simply
this: He pours equal parts of turpen-
tine and liquid tar into tin pan or
cup and sets fire to the mixture. A
dense resinous smoke arises, which oh
scures the air of the room. "The pa
tient," DIR. Delthil says, Immediately
seems to experience relief the choking
aud rattle stop; the patient falls into a
slumber, and seems to inhale the smoke
with pleasure. The fibrinous mem
brane soon becomes detached, and the
patient coughs up microbicides. These,
when caught IN glass, may be seen
to dissolve in the smoke. In the course
of three days afterward the patient en-
tirely recovers." This treatment has
been tested in New York recently, and
with gratifying results. 1t is based on
the theory that diphtheria is due to the
rapid multiplication of living fungi
which are killed by the fumes of the
tar and turpentine. Indeed, all sue
cessful treatment of diphtheria is by
the use of medicines which destroy low
forms OF insect life.-DsmOrests

Care of the Teeth.

While it is a fact that good and bad
teeth are largely inherited, yet good
ones may soon be injured by neglect.
Not only as a matter of health should
the teeth be preserved as far as posi-
BILE, but for appearances. Nothing
more detracts from the comeliness of a
young man or woman, than the display
of teeth yellow and black from neg
lect the better looking the person, the
more glaring is this blemish. Parents
are often greatly to blame in this re.
spect. As soon as child gets its per-
manent teeth he rshc should be taught
to use tooth brush with water, at
least once day. This would often
save the child from much modification
and perhaps misery in after life, The
use of tooth brush not too stiff, with
water simply, morning and night, is
all that most teeth require. If tartar
collects in spite of this, the use of Cas-
tile soap (the white is preferable) upon
the brush will generally answer. If
something more is needed to keep the
teeth clean, prepared chalk is one of
the safest tooth powders. Avoid all
tooth powders that are at all gritty.
Some contain powdered pumice stone,
which will remove both the tartar and
enamel In using the brush, it is equal
ly as important to apply il to the back
side OF the teeth as to the front, and
instead OF only moving it across. the
teeth, a part of the brushing should be
from the gums upward and downward,
to remove any particles that have lodg
ed between them. Never use metal
lie tooth pick /; a silver OF wood is pref
cradle to the quill so commonly used
Whenever decay is noticed in the
teeth, 60 to the dentist at once.

The New Standard Time.

There is good deal of misunder-
standing in regard to the principle
which underlines the new system of
standard time. There have been about
eight different time standards in the
United States used by the railways,
and this has led to great inconvenience.
1t is understood of course, that with
every difference of degree of longi-
tude there is variation of four MN
utes in solar time, faster as we 60 east
ward, slower as we go westward. This
problem to be solved has been to ar
range time system which should be
as nearly uniform as possible, so as to
accommodate the business interests of
the country, without departing too
widely from the standard of local solar
time.
This result has been achieved by a
division of the United States into -four
time belts, each belt taking its time
from that of the meridian passing
through the center of the belt. The
eastern belt, taking its time from the
seventy fifth meridian, which passes
a trifle east of Philadelphia, covers
New England and the Middle States
as far west as Buffalo and Pittsburg,
and nearly the whole of Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina.
The central time belt, with the nine,
tieth meridian as its line of dissection
(the exact meridian of New Orleans
and running little east of ST. Louis)
includes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa, the States north of them to The
Gulf and the Rio Grande River Tn,
next is the mountain time belt, which
is regulated by the one hundred anC
fifth meridian, nearly clipping Denver
This belt includes wyoming, Colorado
New Mexico, the larger portion of Da
kota, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Arizo
ma, Utah and Montana, with small sec
tions of the Indian Territory and Ida
no. The Pacific belt which takes il
time from the one hundred and twenti
eth degree, passes little west OF Can
son City, New, includes California
Nevada, Oregon and Washington Ter
rltory, tne larger portioh Oh iuaho' an
strips of Montana, Utah and Arizona
There is difference of exactly one hou
between the times of the different belts
So the traveller, can easily tell the tim
in travelling, as he passes from one bel
to another, by adding an hour withou
resetting his watch. For example,
man resident in Portland, Me-, an
having the time of the eastern bel
takes out his watch in Cincinnati
Ohio, and finds that according to til
dial it is 1880 p, m. His Cincinna
time, then, is just 1890 p. m. He a.
riyes at ST. Louis, and finds, when b
consults his watch, that it still mark
1880 p. m. He only has to subtraC
two hours aud he has the time corret
for the time belt where he then il
This exact difference of an hour in VI
ration of time constitutes the gres
convenience of the system, as th
change can be instantly calculated.

Mr.. HOAR TO THE YOUNG INDIE.

Iftho young "lndependents" depend
upon old PEcKsNtFF HoAR fer their in

paign they will get terribly lelI, This
Massachusetts apostle OF protensions,
who secretly hates BLAINE, or at least
has good cause to, is yet too small to rise
to tho dignity of a repudihii9nof his old
enemy, and has thrown himself into tho
breach to check, as far as possible, the
onslaught ON the Plumed knight. In n
recent letter toa "young Independent"
he takes occasion TO say;
"lf you elect CLEVELAND you aban-
don further hope OF civil service reform
for this generation. You take the side
of free trade against protection. You
bid farewell for n lifetime to honest
elections in the South. You suf-
fer the great Mormon cancer to spread
over the breast of tho re-
public. There is but one thing ON
which GROVER CLEVELAND has unmis-
takably planted himself That is, that,

THEY REPUDlATE HIM.

The Greenbackers, Independents and
Republicans are all in a stew, and the
big meeting at Houston has not poured
any oil on tho troubled waters. WASH
JONES has made the Democratic Green
hackers mad by saying he would not
accept nomination at their hands, and
would not support BEN BUTLER. lie
has been carrying on hirtations with a
certain element of the Republican party.
Tho respectable element of the Repub-
lican party say they won't affiliate with
JONES because they don't believe it pro-
per to disorganize the party and turn it
over to man who is unwilling to recog-
nize the party except as a tail to his kite.
A great many republicans in National
politics, say that they are too much in
terestod in the prosperity of the State to
be willing to SEQ it turned over to an
irresponsible crew.
The indications are that the best ele-
ments of the Republican party in Texas,
black and white, will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket in response to the dictates
OF good sense.

RECTOR AND THE GERMANS.

In seems that the Republicans are
getting into hot water all along the line
JUDGE RECTOR, leading Republican
in the Austin district, came out for
Congress as an Independent on the
WASH JONES postum policy. He fiat
tered himself and his party that by this
dodge he could beat JOE SAVERS. lie
didn't want the Republican nomination,
only their endorsements.
He wrote to one-legged colored Re
publican in Bastrop county to fix u
delegation in his interest and put it one
half Dutch, and to be sure to put on as
delegate that fellow in the post Office.
SAYREs was given the letter by the col.
ored Republican and is reading it at the
public meetings in his district, where
there is large German vote.
The Germans are red hot about il
and the staunchest Republicans say
they won't vote the ticket. The present
indications are that the Republican
party has disbanded for want of sup
port.
1t is predicted that this letter will force
JUDGE RECTOR to withdraw, as there is
large German vote in his district, upon
which he depended.

ton to CLEVELAND to-day arises from
the fact that he is not, has not been, and
can not be made mere "party instru-
ment." 1t is his fearless adhesion to

from him.

guments-a thin tissue of political false

his perversions of political facts. BY

Murdered BY His Brother.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-William II. Dow
ME, q member of the Board of Trade,
was found dead in the basement of his
house on La Sale avenue tonight, with
bullet hole in his left temple. He
was alone in his house at the time
OF the occurrence. From the
fact that his face was
powder burnt and his hair scorched, it
was at first supposed to be a case of sui
eide, but closer examination of the
position and direction of the wound,
and the fact that no weapon could be
found has led to the conclusion that il
was murder. He had brother, Charles
j. Downie, with whom he had
frequent alterations in regard to an un-
divided estate lettth bytheir mother,
these troubles leading to separa,
ton to-day after stormy Scene
ana an attempt by Charles to brain his
brother with an axe. This, with the fact
mat Charles once shot at William, led
TO the suspicion that it was
iratricide. The police arrested Charles
Oh his way from the city TO his sub
drban home, and found on his person a
revolver with one chamber empty.
