Hot Water Remedies.

Halls Journal Of Health publishes some
interesting facts relative to hot water as
remedial agent. II saws:

plication, and none SO easily at;ainabe as
hot water; and We, nine persons in ten vii

thing of far less efficiency.
There are but few cases Of illness where
water should not occupy the highest place
as a remedial agent.
A strip of flannel or a napkin folded

of a child that has the Group. will usually
bring relief in ten minutes.
A towel folded several times and dipped

One cause Of much of the bad butter in
market is the unclean condition of many
farmers cellars. Decaying vegetables faint

milk, to reappear in whstever is made from

it should he at once removed. In fact,
wherever milk and cream are kept in eel
lars they should be in different rooms from

stanIey's African Servant.

Mir. Stanley has with him his favorite ser want Dualla, a slim Somalf of twenty three, picked up Alden, who has acted as his con fidential attendant for the last five or six
 years No one could fail to be attracted by
 his bright, intelligent face, his genial smile; and his answers to some pleasant badinage which his master exchanged with him at
 luncheon showed a surprising readiness and
 grasp. With the various points of the Congo question he is thoroughly conversant, expres- sing his opinions with much decision; ot
 De Brazza, of the missionaries, of the Portu-
 guese and so on. The length of the Congo,
 from Leopoldville to Banana Point, he is known, and when he appears at the station of Mr. Stanley, as whose ambassador in ad- vance he often acts. In fact Dualla is a diplomist of consummate tact, which does credit to his teaching. His English is won derfully good, and at present he is acquiring the art of writing. ''Dualla is getting winter
 every day. Do you use Pears soap, Dualla?'' asked MT. Stanley, laughing. But Dualla
 had not tried it's virtues. This is not his first visit to London; though it possess great
 attractions for him am afraid he prefers the
 gayeties of Paris Dualla is getting home
 sick and is going back to Alden for time, at
 least, to friends. ''Dualla thinks the white
 girls very pretty, but know there is dusky
 Somali maiden in the case, ,eh, Dualla?' Dualla
 blushed, laughed and beat nasty retreat. That he has faith in England is evident from
 the fact that out of the e350 he had saved out of his wages of ESQ year he has invested
 9250 in consols. The odd e100 he has spent
 in presents for his friends, like the thought ful fellow he is

For State Omcers.
FOR GOVERNOR, HENRY B. HARRISON, of New Haven
: CO.OPRRATION,

Cooperation has not worked very well in l this country, though why this is so is not easy to tell. In Great Britain 1t has been 8
 decided success It is thoroughly system
 atized in that country, and the societies en-
 gagged in it have enormous capital at com | mand.
 The cooperative societies of Great Britain are divided into three kinds First, the dis | tribution societies or retail stores. There are | about 1,200 of these, and they have membership numbering 10000, with
 a capital of $30,0OO,0O0. Their sales 1 annually are estimated at $ge, ,0o0, 600. These l stores supply groceries, bread, meat, coal, clothing, etc. Out of these retail stores have
 grown, secondly, two wholesale societies, one 1 in England the other in Scotland. These I wholesale stores sell together $3O,OOO, 900 | worth of goods in a year, supplying about 8 1 third of the goods purchased by the retail | stores. Thirdly, there are twenty-tWo man
 ufacturing or productive societies, and five ] federal corn mills. The corn mills do bus mess of $6, 300, 900 year, and the produc- | tive societies business of about S1 100, ,000 a year. The total business done by these | societies in the last twenty years gives an 1 almost startling view of their importance. It
 is said to reach to the amount of S1 ,250, ,O00,- GOO, and the net profits upon this have l amounted to a hundred million dollars, the
 whole of which has gone into the pockets of the working classes. The average dividend | on the capital employed has been at the rate
 of 29 per cent, and the average dividend on
 the sales reached 1 shilling 6 pence on the l pou1:d
 | In regulating the admission to membership in these societies minimum rate is fixed, which varies from $5 to $25. Goods are sold
 for ready money only, and at the market
 rates, thus entering into no competition in
 the way of prices with other stores. The
 profits, however, are ascertained at the end of each quarter, and divided in proportion to
 the amount of purchases on various sales generally, however, on the rate above indi-
 cated as the average. He who has but 30 | invested gets but small sum. The largest | amount allowed one person in store is $1 900. | Members who receive dividends may permit | them to remain as shares in the store, and
 interest at the rate of per cent. is allowed l on all sums thus deposited. The societies
 thus answer the purpose of savings banks as well. The wholesale societies have buyers in all parts of the world, and their manag ing committees are elected by the stores. This scheme of cooperation is of immense
 benefit to thousands. It is surprising that
 similar work has not been done in this
 country There is certainly no good reason
 why it cannot be as successful here as in Great Britain

MONTE CARLO,s GAME.
A Stock Company to Carry on Gamb'
 ling on a Big Scale.


 From the Paris Morning News.l Two fresh Monte Carlo suicides are record ed by the Nice journals. A Polish advocate { named Goulsky, aged thirty, has shot him. self having left the gambling-table penniless and his parents having refused to send him further funds of which they foresaw the certain destination. A young man named Maurin, who had been living for several months at Nice, regularly frequenting the gaming-tables, has killed himself with lauda- mum.
 While these tragedies are still going on, even in the Monte Carlo dull season, it's man. agers have unconsciously betrayed some mis- givings as to the duration of the establish ment. They have announced on the Paris Bourse the issue of 60,000 shares of 500 francs, their apparent design being, not to dispose of these shares, but to make it be- lieved that they have been disposed of, and that host of shareholders is thus interested in the maintenance of the infamy. They seemingly hope that this will deter the French governmenteef from exerting pressure on the Prince of Monaco, or will, at least, give them better chance of indemnity if the conces- sion be cancelled.
 The French system of shares to bearer ren- ders it impossible to ascertain the real owner ship of shares; and when Monte Carlo is SUD- pressed an army of men may present themselves as honest investors beggared by the stroke The dividend, however, of late years has been 115 francs, and as the shares are considered to be half paid up, the divi- dend is virtually 50 per cent, so that on their own showing there could be no equita- ble claim to compensation, the shareholders having nearly in the last two years recouped all that they are assumed (and only assumed) to have invested.

From the St. James Gazette l

IrFOHl Lne ot James GaZeCCe.
 Among the minor items of local news in the Parisian journals is one in which may be regarded as pendent on small scale to the old story of the dog of Montargis. A young English opera dancer, who, it seems, is fre- quently guilty of the reprehensible omission of neglecting to pay the cab drivers whose vehicles she engages, left her dog sort of pledge with her Antomedon s-the other day. when she alighted to make some purchases in establishment of the Louvre. She made her egress from the building by door on the op- posite side, and the cabman saw nothing more of her till day or two ago, when he espied her in cage, where she was having some refreshment. He asked her for his fare, but she denied all knowledge of him, and fatly refused to pay him. The cabman disappeared for moment and returned with the dog, which he had since been carrying about with him. The moment the little creature saw his mistress he flew towards her, wagging his tail, barking joyously, and generally indulging in all the recognized canine manifestations of delight. The case was elear-so clear that the young person herself did not venture to dispute the matter further. Unfortunately she had no money, and the commissionary of police before whom she was taken sent her to the depot.

A FEMININE DUEL.
Two Valiant DamseIs at .Puteaux Fight for the Love of a RagPieker.

TWO Valiant DamSeAS at .FuteAuA
 Fight for the Love of a Ragpieker.
 From the Paris Morning News.l
 On one side of the Avenue de Saint-Ger- main, at Puteaux, is situated large court surrounded by tall rookeries, which are in habited by ragpickers. In the afternoon of Thursday the daughter of one of these use ful members of society bearing the soft name of Zelie, who had seen twenty summers and
 presumably as many. winters, encountered
 Mile. Marie Voisin, young woman known to her, and aged about seventeen years. Both fair creatures happened to be in love with
 the same fortunate ragpicker, certain Der nard Ranq, nineteen years d, who dwells at Clichy. Zelie and Marie, therefore, held high debate for a time, and finally, after veritable challenges, they got down to the cold and calm terms of regular contest, by which the point of honor between them could be straightway settled. They agreed to fight. The weapons chosen were, of course, scissors. The due1list who should suceumb was to relinquish at once and forever all claim to the heart and person of the gallant Bernard Ranq, ragplcker.
 They armed themselves at once, proceeded to vacant piece of ground and the battle be- gan. Several wounds were rapidly ex- changed; light ones it is true, but yet suff-
 cient to draw the gentle blood of the combat
 ants Zelie soon found herself hard pressed by her young and more fiery rival, and, in reoeding as she dropped her guard, she fell plump into a well, the opening of which is on level with the ground.
 As Zelie disappeared with wild shriek in to the deep abyss. in which truth is tradition ally supposed to dwell, Marie promptly obey ed humane impulse, and forgetting all her
 resentment, ran for succor. The unfortunate Zelie was drawn out, nearly suffocated, and it was only at the end of a half hour that she returned to consciousness.
 The Commissary of Police lodged an in formation against the two Bellona-ike young women for duelling, and also one against the proprietor of the ground on which the com bat was fought, for not maintaining guard about the mouth of the well. This double
 action may possibly seem illogical to some
 persons, since, had the well not opportunely
 received the fair Zelie in her nasty retreat,
 the affair might have had far more san guinary ending Whether she will now give up all pretension to the love of Bernard Ranq we are unable to state
