Iodine for Diphtheria.

While at Matches, Miss, in 1865, l
was led, through my experience with
an epidemic then prevalent there, to
pose to describe. During this epidemic
about lCO cases of diphtheria were sue
cessfully treated in the manner about
to be described. For some years sub
seIuent to my return to Illinois treat
cd all the cases | encountered (tifty in
number) with complete success by the
same means, and have since treated
$50 cases, all with the same satisfacto-
ry result. except in two cases where
death occurred, the patient being al
most moribund when coming under
treatment. Previous to the adoption
Of the present mode of treatment my
results were by no means so satisfactO-
ry, the disease proving fatal in at least
one third of the whole mum Der of cases.
The treatment which has proved SO sue
ccssful in my hands is rs follows: The
patient is ordered tincture of iodine in
ten or twelve drop doses every hour,
well diluted with water, SO long Us the
fever lasts, subsequently reducing it to
ten drops every two, and, finally, every
three hours; local application of the
drug is made use of Mt the same time.
These latter should be made by the
physician himself at least twice a day.
For internal use, give latterly, the de-
colorized tincture; bread and starchy
articles of diet are ut the same time
used in abundance. Such is my treat

Tar Smoke for Diphtherla.

Ruth Lockwood, the 9-year old child
of Thomas Lockwood, compositor in
the Times office, became violently ill
with diphtheria on Tuesday night. She
was so weak that it was deemed dan
gerous to try tracheotomy, or cutting
open the windpipe. On Thursday DR..
Nichols. who was attending her. re-
ceived copy of the Paris Figaro,
which contained report made to the
French Academy of Medicine by DR..
Delthil. DIR. Delthil said that the va
pors of LIQUID tar and turpentine would
dissolve the tibrinous exudations which
choke up the throat in Group and dlph-
iberia.
DR.. Delthil's process was described.
He pours equal parts of turpentine and
liquid tar into a tin pan or cup and sets
fire to the mixture. A dense resinous
smoke arises, which Obscures the air OF
the room.
''The patient" DIR. Delthil says,
Immediately seems to experience re-
lief; the choking and rattle stop; the
patient falls into slumber, and seems
TO inhale the smoke with pleasure. The
tibrinous membrane soon becomes de-
tached, and the patient coughs up MI
crobicides. These, when caught in a
glass. may be seen to dissolve in the
smoke. In the course of three days
afterward the patient entirely recoy-
ers."
DIR. Nichols tried this treatment yes
terday with little Ruth Lockwood. She
was lying gasping for breath when he
visited her. First pouring about two
tablespoonfulls Of liquified tar on an
iron pan. ho poured as much turpen-
tine over it and set it ON fire. The rich
resinous smoke which rose to the CELL
ing was by no means unpleasant. AS
it filled the room the child's breathing
became natural, and rs the smoke grew
denser she fell asleep. Philadelphia

Expert Shooting.

"What are the qualifications neces-
sary TO make crack shooter?" was
asked Capt. A. III. Bogardus.
Practice" was the simple answer
''But do you mean to say that any
man can become good shot by prac-
tice?'
That's about it. OF course, he
must not be II nervous man, and must
not indulge in strong drink TO any ex-
tent. He must take good care of HIM
! self and practice; but it takes Il great
deal of the latter. l have four sons
who are good shots, and their skill has
all been acquired by practice. Eugene.
the elder, has become SO proficient that
a marble no larger than the bullet he
shoots can be broken by him when
thrown in the air. Some think that
because they are my sons they inherit
gift, but any well-balanced man
| knows better than that / know that
their skill is the result of nothing but
hard practice. Now, by hard practice
do not mean shooting for a few min
utes each day, but shooting for hours.
! with intervals of rest occurring in or
der not TO tire the arms. If you have
observed, l always shoot from the
shoulder, and aim at everything l hit.
Now, hip shooting is more matter of
judgment, but proficiency in it requires
a great deal of practice also. 1t is like
billiard playing-some can become
proficient by practice and others cam
mot, rs they lack the proper Judgment.
II is not like shoulder shooting. ."-Chi-

Educated LObsters.

"Lobsters is Gurus critters" said
an old man, whose weather-beaten face,
half concealed by m unkempt gray
beard and an oilskin suit. stamped him
rs fisherman, at the eastern station,
the other day. They're just as sensi-
tive rs IL bile, and | caplat they know

Holsters is treacherous. but l allus
found that if YOU treated 'em half as
well rs you would dog they'd recip-
crate every time. If you think you
can pick lobster up by the tail and
urive spike with him you make a big
mistake, and don't you forget it.
"a lobster is humorous cuss, too,
and he can appreciate joke quicker N
two-thirds OF the men. l reckerlect a
a case that proved all this to me once.
l took some Boston chaps out with me
when went to look after my traps one
day, and when we were comm back
one of 'em told n story that the other
fellers called chestnut. There wasn't
no pint to it and nobody laughed, but
just as true as I'm standin' here. every
one of them Holsters in the bottom of
the boat turned over on their backs and
acted sort of nervous like. They had
all been quiet and peacefuI alore, anu
] know they saw there wasn't no fun
in the story. An tell you. boys, lob
sters can be learnt good many things;
was brought up among 'em, and
know somethin' of their natur'. just
look at this"
The old man picked up big live one
from a barrel that was awaiting trans
portation, and for a few seconds held
the squirming, wiggling monster in the
palm of one of his hands. Then he
topped it over. back upward. and rub
bed its tail briskly with his other hand.
The fish slowly drew its ugly-looking
claws and subtided into perfect quiet,
exhibiting no moro signs of life than il
he had been boiled.

How a PRACTICAL Joker Was Cured

went out of that business for good over
ten years ago"
'.How was that?" asked the group of
beer eXtcrminators.
''Welh it was in the winter of ~,
maybe '73. was living in Davenport,
Iowa, and man came round there
giving balloon ascensions. One day it
was advertised that the Mayor of the
town was going up with him. Now,
the Mayor was big. fas man, who al
ways wore light suit of clothes and a
white hat. This put me in the notion
of working joke off on the people. l
got acquainted with the aeronaut, and
he agreed to assist me in the scheme.
We then got an old suit of light clothes
and fixed up dummy, which we filled
200. and would, therefore, drop
straight and heavy like q man. The
day of the ascension there were over
30, 600 people on the ground and the
excitement was very great, as there
was slight wind blowing at the time.
After the balloon got up about mile,
and maybe that far south of the town,
they dropped the dummy over"
''Big sensation then, eh?"
-"Wcll, 1 should say SO. OF course
the crowd made break out of the
town TO scrape up the remains, and l
rushed home TO get my fishing tackle,
for it struck me that the most healthy
thing / could do would be to 90 fishing
for Il day or two. Before l left the
house, however, | was arrested for
murder"
..For murder?"
"Exactly. A lot of the boys, accom-
panied by the Sheriff, rushed in and
collared me. They claimed that the
dummy had fallen on n farmer and
driven his skull clear into the heels of
his boots. They said that the bal
loonatic had turned states evidence,
and the chances were that I'd be hung
by mob before night"
THAT was rough"
"Well, so l thought. / was just
scared to death, and begged the boys
TO stand by and protect me. l ponied
up $50 for legal expenses, and they hid
me in the garret of a neighbours house.
They kept me there ten blessed days,
and there wasn't Il day but they struck
me for n twenty or two for contingent
cies. One night the whole gang came
round full of beer-on my money, mind
you-and said they had concluded, as
additional precaution, to hide me in q
hollow of an oak tree about three
miles out in the woods. / saw through
the whole business then and drove 'em
out with club. 1t was good square

never let up calling me Dummy Skid

me out of the town, and l had to emil

Bret Harte's Enemies.

remember Bret Harte, the story
teller, telling me that after he had pub
lished his first successful story multi
tudes of enemies sprung up around
him and filled the papers with COM
mcnts on the Immortality of his mat
ter. His fist successful piece was "The
Luck of the Roaring Camp" describ-
ing the baby of castaway woman
which was adopted by the camp. The
treatment of the story none could as
sail in point of charming style and
poetical insight and touch. The very
fact that he had proved himself to be a
master made these unseen enemies,
who lie around every bright mans
path, redouble all their exertions on
the bad morality of the baby of a cast
away. He said that the fiercest of these
articles was published in a paper where
he had once set type. and he protested
to the editor, who was his friend, and
said that that man must be q very vio-
lent enemy. Why" said his friend,
sit is not a man at all; woman has
been writing those attacks on you. She
keeps table ut a charity entertain
ment given by the ultra fashionables.
and will walk through with you this
evening and point her out" When
Harte stood abreast of the woman he
was astonished to find that it was ono
he had known in his wilder youth.
when she was unmarried and had be-
slowed her fondness upon him. She
recognized him ut once, and stood
ready to meet him with scorn. She
had married rich and prominent per-
son, and, aware that ho knew of her
lapses from grace, had hated him with
that extraordinary hate those who had
sinned themselves express for those
who sin little Ctncin,,dti Enquirer.

MethOdical Ants.

The Texas agricultural ants go to
work in methodical manner. They
make a nest beneath the ground and
raised several inches above it, and clear
away a space on either side of several
feet, from which branch through the
grass several roads. Curiously enough
this grass about the nest is all of one
kind. All the other weeds are cleared
away. Some people say the ants plant
the grass seed. However, they do
gather it and feed to the young and
store the grain-houses under ground.
Here You see another evidence of in
telligence. The seeds slowed away
would naturally sprout after a rain.
but in some cases. when they become
damp the ants take them to the Surface
and dry them in the sun; in other cases
they poison the seed by biting it, SO
that it does not sprout.

An Otoe scandal of the first water
has just occurred. A schoolgirl was
recently married to q man much older
than herself, much against her wishes.
She soon after ran away with her for
mcr youthful lover. The deserted hus-
band was irate and about to follow on
the warpath. A council was called,
and many friends of the runaway cou-
pie sat up with him all night attempt
ing to allay his anger. One of them
gave him his handsomest moccasins
and leggins, another n brooch, and 9TH
ers still other presents, till he said
''his heart felt better; his heart was
not so bad rs it had becn," and he f.
nally said his 'heart was all right
now" and they might como back.
"She was dead" This Otoe custom
might be n sensible one in some white
communities
