Parker kept the particulars of the ter

finally concluded, 10 justice to his chill

and swore out warrant against his
mother. A Coroner's Inquest developed
tue above facts. No explanation is offered
for the mothers brutal conduct towards

great attention by reason Of the tact that
the sole Witness against Mrs. Parker is
her own son. She was he'd in default OF

Tar Smoke for Diphtheria.

Ruth Lockwood, the 9-year-old
child of Thomas Lockwood, a COM
poster in the Times office, became
violently i'll with diphtheria on
Tuesday night. She was so weak
that it was deemed dangerous to try
tracheotomy, or cutting open the
windpipe. On Thursday DR.. Nichols,
who was attending her, received a
copy Of the Paris Figaro, which con-
tanned a report made to the French
Academy of Medicine by Dr. Delthil.
DR.. Delthil said that the vapors Of
liquid tar and turpentine would dis
solve the fibrinous exudations which
choke up the throat in Group and
diphtheria.
Dr. Delthil's process was describ-
ed. He pours equal parts of tur-
pentine and liquid tar into tin pan
or cup and sets trs to the mixture.
4 dense resinous smoke arises,
which cbscures the air of the room.
The patient" DR.. Delthil says,
Immediately seems to experience
relief: the choking and rattle
stop; the patient falls into a slum-
Der, and seems to inhale the smoke
with pleasure. The fbrinous mem
brane soon becomes detached, pa
tient coughs up micrebieides, when
caught in a glass, may be seen to
dissolve in the smoke. In the course
of three days afterward the patient

DIR. Nichols tried this treatment
Yesterday with little Ruth Lock
wood. She was lying gasping for
breath when he visited her. First
pouring about two tablespoonfuls of
liquefied tar on an iron pan, he
poured as much turpentine over it
and set it on fire. The rich rssinous
smoke which rose to the ceiling wa.
by no means unpleasant. As 1t fill
ed the room the child's breathing be-
came natural, and as the smoke grew
dense she fell asleep.-PhiiadelphiG

EarIy Rising.

The proper time to arise is when
sleep properly so-called, ends. Do
zing is not admissible from any
reasonable or health point of view.
The brain falls into the state We call
sleep, and the other organs of the
body follow it. True sleep is the
aggregate of sleeps. In other words,
sleep, which must be natural func-
ton. E., physiological instead ofby
disease or drugs-is a state which
consists in the sleeping or rest of all
the several parts of the organism.
Sometimes one and at other times
another part of the body as whole
NAV be the least fatigued and so the
first to awake, or the most exhausted
and therefore the most difficult to
arouse. The secret of a good sleep
is-the physiological conditions of
rest being established-to so work
and weary the several parts of the
organism as to give them proper
tioDally equal need of rest at the
rdtllt UlODlclL- IuC CCIEOl ulh VI
mind organ, the sense organs, the
muscular system, and the viscera
should be all ready to sleep together,
and, so far as may be possible, they
should be equally tired. To wake
early and feel ready to rise, this fair
and equal start ofthe sleepers should
be secured and the wise selfmsn-
ager should not allow a drowsy feel
ing of the conscious or weary
senses, or an exhausted muscular
system, to beguile him into the efolly
of going to sleep again when once
his consciousness has been aroused.
After a very few days of self-disci-
pline the man who resolves not to
"doze,' that is, to allow some still
sleepy part of his body to keep him
in bed after his brain has once awak-
ened-will find himself, without
knowing why, an ''early riser. y

Getting in One on the Teacher.

DIR. Busby, once the master OF the
high school, though celebrated for
severity. was not illnatured. 1t is
said that one day, when he was alb
sent from his study, a boy found
some plums in his chair, and at
once began to eat them, first wag-
gishly saying: "Ipublish the banns
of matrimOny between my mouth
and these plums. If any here pre-
sent know just cause for impediment
why they should not be united, you
are now to declare it. or eyer after
hold your peace" The doctor over
heard the proclamation, but said
nothing till next morning, when,
calling the boy up, he grasPed his
well known instrument, saying: l
publish the banns of matrimony be-
tween this rod and this boy. If any
one knows any Just cause or impedi-
ment why they should not be united
let him now declare it, or ever after
hold his peace The boy himself
said; Il forbid the banns.' For
what cause?" asked the doctor.
Because" said the boy, "the parties
are not agreed" The boys ready
wit pleased the doctor, and the un-
ion was indefinitely postponed.

The Mexican National Drink.

The Aztecs manufactured pulque,
ard got drunk on it, just as do the
Mexicans of to-day. 1t is the great
national beverage-the lager beer or
hard cider of the land. 1t is fer
mentation of the sap of the maguey,
and is drawn by tapping the deep
heart of the plant. When a specl-
men of the maguey feels real good
it will yield a gallon of the sweet sap
every day for months together. This
Juice is then emptied into an un-
shorn sheepskin, turned wrong side
out and the feet tied up, in which 1t
is transported to the place OF fer
mentation. Everywhere the travel
er meets donkeys laden with these
fall skins, or a cargadore will trot
along with one on the back OF his
neck, so smooth, and slippery, and
unctieus, that it looks like hog
that has perished of dropsy. An
enormous quantity ofpulque Is con-
sumed every day in Mexico. l
don't want any more OF 1t. tried II
the first day, as everybody does. 1t
looks like sour milk a week old,
tastes like sour milk year old,
sweetened with asafPtida and smells
like Constantinople. If | couldn't
become inebriated on anything but
pulque, | would forego that pleasure
for life.
But the maguey plant is certainly
thing OF beauty in the landscape,
and when one becomes superannua-
ted and farrow it ceases to give down
and then it shoots upward a great
central stock like a gloritied tele-
graph pole, the top of which bursts
into gorgeous bloom before 1t dies
for this is the old century plant "
that we have read of The pulque
produced along the national road,
but especially in the valley of Tolu-
ca, is famous for its superiority over
all Mexico. 1t is vicisusly strong,
and the smell of it ascends to heav-

sons without failing. Five feet from
the ground, its trunk is ten
feet and nine inches in circumfer-
ence.
A lemon tree on the farm ofThom-
as Kennedy, at Noonan's Lake, Fla,
10 years old, has borne fruit for II
years, and has earned for its owner

In the negro cemetery at Ameri-
Gus, Ca, is a cedar tree that was
planted in a pitcher at the head Of a
grave ten years ago. 1t burst the
bottom OF the pitcher and rooted in
the earth. The pitcher still encir-
cles the bottom Of the cedar, which
is ten feet high.
The " Major Oak" near Edwins-
town, Eng, fell before a recent gale
there. Its trunk had girth of %
feet, and the circumference of the top
was 260 feet. The hollow stem was
used by picnic parties, and seven
persons had at one time partaken of
a meal in it. 1t is known to have
stood 700 years.
Delos Hotchkiss. of Marco, Conn,
has an apple tree in his orchard that
is supposed to be l75 years old. Its
annual yield is 50 bushels of apples.
The circumference of the trunk is 1G
feet near the ground. 1t bears fruit
on five limbs one year, and on four
different limbs the next year.
In 1876 it bore fruit on all of its
limbs.
The soft maple tree that was cut
down on the White House grounds
last December had many historical
associations. President Lincoln had
. habit of stopping at this tree, then
thoroughly strolling about the
grounds, and pulling a twig frem it.
Then be would take out his pocket
knife and slowly whittle the stick
as he walked on. The tree was
planted during the administration of
Andrew Jackson.

effect of morphia given by drug
store clerk named Lewis Seitz in

clerk was informed of the terrible
result of his mistake, he dropped
to the floor unconscious, and it is
feared that the shock may prove ia

the blunder Of druggists during
the past week. On Saturday a clerk
in Spohen's drugstore, on the South
Side, gave aqua ammonia and sweet
oil in mistake for castor oil, and the
old lady, Ann Gallagher, who swal-
lowed the dose, died in few hours
in great agony, Spoken has been held

Did.'t want to- Live For Her Alone

The other night, when one of our
tprominent society young men called
to see his girl, he found her mother
sitting quietly before the fire. After
bidding him good evening she
| looked him full in the face, and
said;
Do you really love my daughter
Emma?"
"Well-ah-my dear madam, ="
stammered the youth, turning red In
the face, L have only been coming
to see your daughter two months,
and l really think you are little
premature in propounding such a
question. "
That's where we differ, young
man. If the seed of your sowing
now will bring forth matrimonial
harvest I'm willing to put up with
YOU awhile longer, but if you are
coming here three nights out OF a
week Just to pass away the time,
YOU had better cease coming at
once"
"Yes. Well, really madam put
in the youth, his voice all in qulv-
er, since you press me so closely
for an answer | must admit that |
am very fond of Emma, and that L
live for her alone"
Yes" broke in the anxlsus
mamma; that's the trouble with
you young men; you waste too
much time living for girl alone,
when you ought to be living with
her. I'm a plain, eld-fashioned wo-
man, and always say what L think.
New, I'm willing to give you
month longer as a trial, but If at
the end of that time don't see
spankin' fine new ring on Emma 5
finger, your visits to this house Will
be cut of.
And to the great relief of the young
man she left the room and sent In

utterly unconscious of the good

in for her.

THE CHAIR IN THE CHIMNEY
CORNER.
BY LILLE Z. BARR.

By LILLE Z. BARR.
on gilded thrones and on chairs of state,
There are kings that trembling sit;
And TO many lofty seat men climb
Through favor and power and wit
But the chair in tae chimney corner
Is my seat OF power and pride
When | sit there the purple / wear
I'm king at my own tireside.
The judge sits high on his lofty bench
And sorrow beside him waits;
He solemnly says the words ofdeath
He fastens the prison gates.
But sit in the chimney corner,
In my chair so soft and wide,
And pass with Il kiss the household faults
I'm Judge At my own fireside.
Iu the halls Of trade and commerce,
There are seats for the shrewd ana bold
That can manage bank or railroad,
And turn what they touch to gold.
I'm president in my own affairs,
Nice-president is my wife
y
And I'm chairman, too, Tor life.
There are seats in the halls of learning,
And wisdom sits often there
But even with learned professors
Their honor seem to share
For my boys haye many question,
That father can best decide,
And feel that | am principal
To the class at my own tiresidc.
So, my chair in the corner Is better
Than the throne of king or lord,
Than the seat ofjudge or professor,
Than the chair at any board y
The hearthstone's its solid foundation,
'Tis girded all round by love.
Its portion is peace and conIentment,
And the blessings of Heaven above.
