The. Read Question.

During one of the celebrated mud
Slockades,'' some years ago, II man. in
arder to call doctor, went six miles to
TOWN by means of a rail-fence. Not
only in Illinois, but in manv other
Western States. the roads, are practi-
cally impossible tor three months in
nearly every year. The period of nom
communication has often extended to
half a year The effect of stopping
commerce. in this way has been lament
able. There can be no settled or fair
condition of things so long as trans
portation on the courtry roads Is a
question of chance. Not only the i'm
mediate incon senience of mud embar>
goes, but the reacting effect of high
rates and over-crowdssd routes during
the season of good rOads, should
prompt the States to- some definite plan
of action. A practicable scheme woald
be to 90 to France and England and
get the record of their road-builfing.
The Legislature should build expert
mental roads at once. The corBeIiu g
of market would be a colossal under
taking with good highways leading from
every granary in the Western States.
The gilt edge would come off the price
of butter, and the farmer would be
none the poorer, were the products OF
dairy always within reach. The roads
of France did not grow. They were
bought and paid for. What we need to
know is how many the people were able
to build at first, and in what manner
those first roads were apportioned.--

NeatneSS.

The frog has the reputation of beinga
dissolute character, but the great care
which he exercises in q sanitary way
and his general habits of cleanliness
must win for him many admirers among
the neat people of the country. The
bullfrog, unlike old Sam johnson, never
wears soilei linen. His shirt bosom is
immaculatc-creamyi in the richness OF
its purity. The bullfrog does not
slobber on his shirt bosom. No matter
how convivial he may be-no matter
how late he may be out ut night. his
shirt bosom, the next morning, looks
as though it were newly laundrie6- The
principle of neatness is innate. There
are always st eaks of slovenliness
athwart the escutcheon of cultivated
neatness. Mr.. Bobsail. for instance, is
always neat. His shirt is always clean
and about him there is an air OF gentil-
ity. He seems to make no special effort
in this direction. Tie truth is, his
principle of neatness is Unborn. Now,
there is Mr.. Rrittlerash. He puts on a
clean shirt every morning. vet he IS
never neat. All sorts of stains will go
out of their way to settle on his shirt
bosom. lie can not be neat. The
most elabro: ate professor in the school
of neatness could not teach BIN the
art. He was born to be sloveuly in
appearance.
The bullfroy is much neater thai the
catfish. The catfish wears AZ ulster
with yellow frontage, and he may
make an occasional attempt TO be clean
ly in appearance, but he has never sue
ceeded. There is one thing which
stands in his way: He is not careful of
his diet. He bites of more than be can
chew and slobbers on himself The
frog looks with something like d;sdain
on the catfish. and it serves him a good
purpose to keep out of the broad
nlOuthed gentlenan's way. The catfish
would not hesitate to lacerate the. pure
bosom OF the frog The catfish is a
cannibal. He would eat piece of his
andfather.-irkdnsdU IraUeier.

improved by being made some DAYS
before it is required, then stored in a
closed jar, brought forth and heated for
use. The change effected is Just that
which theoretically may be expected,
viz, sotening of the Ebrous material
and a sweetening due to the formation
of sugar. This sweetening l observed

this, had it warmed again two nights
afterward, so that it might be tasted

ness was still more distinct, but the
experiment was carried no further.

How the Bedouins Conquer Thirst.

In an article on THE Rescue Of
Chinese Gordon" in the Century, Gener-
al Il. +. Colston, late of the Egyptian
General Staff. SAYS: ..In the .Waterless
Land water is the paramount ques-
ton. If it be asked how q large body
of Bedouins, like the ten thousand who
nearly destroyed the British squares at
Tamai manage to subsist, the reason is
plain. In the FIRST place. they do not
need the enormous trains required for a
European army. They are the most
abstemious of men. Each man carries
skin of water and small bag Of
grain, procured by purchase or barter
from caravans. Their camels and goats
move with them, supplying them with
milk and meat. and subsisting upon
the scanty heritage and the foliage of
the thorny mimoSa, growing in secluded
wadies. These people could live upon
the increase of their tlocks alone, which
they exchange readily for other COM
modities; but being the exclusive car
riers and guides for all the travel and
commerce that cross their deserts, they
realize yearly large amounts o. money.
As 10 water, they know every nook and
hollow in the mountains. away from the
trails where lew barrels of water col
lect in some shaded ravine, and they
can scatter, every man for himself, tc
fill their water-skins. On nv first ex
petition, near the close of the three
years drought, l reached some wells
on which l was depending. and found
them entirely dry. 1t was several day:
to the next wells. But my Bedouir
guides knew some natural reservoirs ir
the hills about six miles off. So they
took the water camels at night-fall, anc
came back before daylight with the
water-skins filled. An invading arm!
would find it hard to obtain guides. ant
even if they Gid, they must keep to.
gether, and could not leave the line
march to look for water. Besides, the
Bedouins, accustomed from infancy tc
regard water as most precious and rare,
use it with wonderful economy. Meth.
er man nor animals drink more thar
once in forty-eight hours. As to wash
ing, they never indulge in such waste
full nonsense. When Bedouins came t.
my camp. water was always offered
them. Their answer would frequently
be: No, thanks; l drank Yesterday
They know too well the importance

No wonder they can subsist where in

The employment Of acupuDcture and
cauterizsti0n by Chinese doctors forms
the sub ect of an article in one o. the
last Numbers of the North Csina Herald.
A native public writer not long since
claimed that skillful physician in this
department. of medicine could cure such
diseases as imbecility. fits, cholera etc.
The principle of cauterization is simply
that of counter-irritation, and the
English writer bears personal testimony
to its efficacy in the case of a slight sum
stroke, although the operator was a sim.
pie Manchu peasant and the instrument
a couple of copper coins. Very extra
ordinary cures are attributed to acu-
puncture by the Chinese. 1t is first
performed in the hollow of the elbow
of each arm. If the puncture draws
blood there is no danger, but if NO
blood appears the case is regarded as
very grave. But before abandoning
the sufferer puncture of the abdomen
is tried. Selling a handful of flesh, the
operator drives the needle right through
it, and then draws it backward and
forward few times. If the patient
manifests any sense of pain, or if any
blood is drawn, a poultice of egg and
buckwheat flour is applied over the
puncture, and recovery is regarded as
almost certain; but if no pain is felt
and no blood flows the case is declared
hopeless, and the sufferer is left to die.
The case is then quoted of young
Chinese, educated abroad, who was
attacked nth cholera: his extremities
became co.,. and cramp set in. in a
somewhat Alarming manner. The barber
surgeon who was called in, commenced
by running 4 needle into the pit of
the patients stomach. a jet of very
dark blood following; he then punctured
the calf, the two breasts, and the fore
head of the sufferer, freeing certain
quantity OF blood at each prick. The
relief is said to have been instantaneous,
and in two days recovery was complete.
The Chinese explanation of this treat
ment is that when the blood is in the
poisoned condition which induces the
choleraic symptoms it becomes thick,
and accumulates in certain portions of
the body. A clever surgeon knows
exactly how to put his fingers on the
particular spots, and by skillfuliy
''opening the mouth of the heart"
as the operation is called, sets free the
poisoned fluid which causes all the
mischief. 1t is noteworthy that faith
in the efficacy of this mode OF treat
ment is not confined to the masses.
but is shared by Chinese who have been
abroad and have had ample experience
of Western medical practice. = Nature.

came from the river-bank, and as she
ran toward it she understood its mean

little heir of the house, had slipped and
fallen into the stream. The nurse was
running up and down wringing her

he had gone under for the second time.

curtained the slope. 1t might give

struggled and she lost her balance; but
it was the best she could do. She was
