An Interesting Book.
Which will Attract Both Old and
Young, and Which Contains In
structiye Matter for All.

There are some books which should
be found in every household: The
Bible, a good dictionary, an almanac
| and reliable book of reference in case
of sickness. These should form part
and parcel of the library of every fam
| lily in the land. DR. 5. B. Hartman s
new and revised edition of 1.-THE Ills of
Life" which is now ready, is the book
of medical advice and information
which should always be within reach.
1t touches on all matters relating to
the ills which flesh is heir to,which can
be relieved by medical treatment; gives
their nature symptoms and effects, and
shows in plain, distinct language the
methods and medicines to be used for
the relief of the patient. Every kind
of fever, every disease Of the skin, all
ailments which affect particular organ S
of the body such as the liver or kidneys,
oil functional disturbances catarrh
dyspepsia, neuralgia, and the host of
enemies which attack the body, are
treated of in "The Ills of Life" and
not only are both acute and chronic
forms of disease discussed, but this in
valuable little book oonrains an i'm
mense amount of hygenioadvice'in refer
erence to the care of the body, its pres
ervation in the normal condition known
as health, the causes which produce
those disturbances of the system which
we call sickness, and minute and care
full directions for resorting the various
disolde functions to their natural
working, and the body to its natural
state of health.
This is no catchpenny volume. 1t is
no medium for advertising patent med
icines. The prescriptions given in it

and medical research, and can be filled
at any drug store. It tells in language
which the child cah understand as we'll
AS the adult, not only the conditions by
which health may De preserved. and the
means by which it is impaired, but
shows what to do to regain it. 1t is a
book for the country as we'll as for the
city; is as useful to the rich family as
to the poor one, and finds not only an
appropriate but necessary place in the
humblest cabin and the statellest man.

SKIN GRAFTING.
Result of Two Interesting Expert
ments in CONNECTICUT.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
The medical fraternity of Hartford,
Connecticut, is watching with interest
Two cases Of skin grating, where the
scalp was wholly torn from the head.
Both patients are females, and the acct
dent happened in the same way in both
nstances-thrOugh their long hair CATCH
ing In the machinery of the shops where
they were employed.
Amelia Williams, aged IA, who suffered
this injury in a corset shop, is under
treatment at the New Haven Hospital.
She was brought there Oct. >, within an
hour after the accident. The scalp was
wholly torn from the head, as was also a
part OF one ear. The surgeons replaced
the scalp, fastening 1t with a few stitches,
trusting that it would reunite. But it, did
not, and had To be removed. Skin-graft-
ing was then resOrted to, and with fair
prospects of success. Hundreds Of per
sons have contributed tiny bits of their
skin, each about the diameter of a lead
pencil, which were taken by pinchlng up
The flesh and slicing of the skin with a
Keen blade. 1t is not expected that hair
viii ever grow on the head, but the graft
ed skin will serve as partial protection
TO the skull. The girls general health
continues good.
The other case is not so promising, but
the surgeons claim that the fault is not
with the treatment, but due to the pa
tienps carelessness. On Aug. ! Miss Ro-
sauna Flynn, woman of 30 years. had
her long hair caught in the shafting at a
shop in COllinsyille. She was treated by
local physicians, and not until a month
after the accident was she brought to the
hospital. The scalp was found wholly
stripped of, together with the skin down
TO the eyelids; there was Inflammation OF
the surface of the skull, with some gran
ulatiOn. The grating process was adopt
ed, and hundreds Of bits OF skin, re-
moved from the arms Of different persons,
were used.
When watery discharge followed a
grating the bit of skin was removed and
a new one substituted. The formation OF
new skin encircled the lower part of the
SKULL and evidences Of healing pointed to
the success OF the experiment. However,
the woman WAS careless, and several
weeks ago partly destroyed the growth by
striking her head. Two weeks ago she
again struck it against the bottom OF
raised window sash, tearing apart the ad-
herring skin and quite destroying the re-
suit OF the surgeons work OF many
weeks. Erysipelas set in, the patient
rapidly failed and the physicians have no
hope OF her recovery.

DisraeIi's Successor.
From, the Proc idence Journal

In personal appearance Lord Salisbury
has, as have indicated, great advan-
tage over Mr.. Chamberlain. You cannot
see Lord Salisbury without feeling that
you are in the presence of no ordinary
man. He is, to begin with, great physi-
cally. In workingman's clothes, and
with leather apron on, you might take
him for powerful blacksmith or tOun-
dryman. But his face and his bent shout
deTs tell that he IS a student. His very
massive head is high-arched, and the
badness OF the temples and crown helps
to reveal its massiVeness; but he is pro-
tusely whiskered, mOustached and beard
ed, and the hair below the baldlsh crown
grows over his ears and neck in stu
dent-like fashion. He is still more dark
than gray. His eyebrowsstand wellout over
large restless eyes under which the skin
is SO remarkably full is almost to suggest
from other points of view a double under
eyeld. The tullness under the eyes to-
gether with deep line from that point in
the cheek marked by an inflated nostril
down to the mouth rive highly character
istic downward lines to the face and con-
firm its generally grave, thoughtful and
even severe expression. / have often
watched Lord Salisbury in the House of
Lords, and fancied / detected some signs
OF littleness amidst the undOUbted great
ness OF the man. FOR one Jnlng, ne dp-
peared to be lacking in self-control. in
the days when he sat as leader on the
front opposition bench you could always
tell when he wanted to speak by the rest
lessness of his limbs. II would raise his
heel from the ground and keep the right
limb exercised In that tremulous motion
which marks extreme Impotence. His
fingers at the same time would be beating
on his knee, and the moment the adverse
ry sat down he would rise, and sometimes
rattle of cynical opening sentence with
out even the opening word of address TO
his fellow peers. Then he rarely could
school himself into patient language with
his opponents. His speeches were nearly
always querulOus, cynical, sneering, i'll
natured. Never, even by chance, did the
party opposite him do the right thing.
This, of course, became mOnOtOnous, and
deprived him of much of the power which
he would otherwise have welded among
Independent politicians by the more re-
strained use Of his vigorous and incisive
language. His predecessor, Lord Bea-
cOnstield well knew the value OF con-
trast, and when he could find himself in
accord with his opponents, did not omit
saying so in terms most graceful. If Lord
Salisbury were obliged to agree in any
cause he would accompany the expression
of that agreement with some carping, dis
agreeable language, recalling again that
description of him as the matter of fiOuts
and gibes and ieers. 1t appeared from
| this peculiarly as il Lord Salisbury was
! not really such strong man as he looked,
| but was, in fact, liable to be influenced
| too much by circumstances.

Life in MOnteVideO.

EroD, a Letter to Chicago IatSr-0 OCEAN.
Everybody rides. No one thinks of
walking. Each family has its carriage
and saddle-hOrse, and even the beggars 90
about the streets on horseback, II Is a
common thing TO be stopped on the street
by hOrseman and asked for "centaVo,"
which is worth two and a half cents Of
our money. These incidents are some
what startling at first, and suggest high
way robbery, but the appeal Is made in
such a humble, pitiiul tone that the feel
ing Of alarm soon vanishes.
''FOr the love of Jesus, Senior, give a
poor, sick man centaVO. Pve had no
bread or coffee to-day" And receiving
the pittance the beggar will gallop
of Ike a cowboy to the nearest drinking
place.
The national drink is called cana (pro-
nounced canyah) }, and is made of the fer
mented juice Of the sugar-cane. 1t con-
tains about 80 per cent. alcohol and is
sold at , cents a goblet, so that a spree in
Uruguay is within the reach of the poor
est man. But there is very little intem-
perance in comparison with that i'm our
own country On ordinary days drunken
men are seldom seen upon the streets, but
on the evening after a religious feast
the common people usually engage in a
glorious carousal.
The vestihules Of the tenement-houses,
and the patios of courts which invariably
furnish cool loafng place in the centre
of each, are commonly paved with the
knuckle bones Of sheep, arranged in fam
tastic designs, like mosaic work. They
always attract the attention Of strangers.
and il is standing joke to tell the tender
foot that they are the knuckle bones OF
human beings killed during the many rev.
olutions. The ladies' of Uruguay are con-
sidered TO rank next TO their sisters OF Pc
ru in beauty, and there is something
about the atmosphere which gives their
complexion purity aud clearnesG that
are not elsewhere found. But when they
reach maturity, like all Spanish ladies.
they lose their grace and symmetry OF
form ard become very stout. This is I'M
dOubteCN owing in a great degree to their
lack OF exercise, for they never walk, but
spend their entire lives IN a carriage or a
rocking-ohair.

Tho Dress of the Burmese.


The Burmese are short, active and well
proportional, Of dark brown color, with
black, lan6, coarse and abundant hair;
said TO be hardy, dOcile, industrious, live
ly, fond Of music and poetry, but treach-
erous, cunning and avaricious, though
hospitable and courteous TO strangers,
feeding and lodging the traveller gratis.
They are greatly inferior to the Hindoo in
civilization, and still more 80 10 the Chi
nese. Like the Peguans, they tattoo their
skin, but this practice is confined TO men.
Their dress, though upon the whole not
unbecoming, Is much less 80 than the
flowing and graceful garments Of the
western nations OF India. The
women Of the lower classes are but scan
tily clad, wearing only a single petlicoat.
Females OF the higher orders generally
wear loose jacket with tight sleeves: a
piece OF silk or cloth oncircles the waist,
and descends 20 the feet.
When they 70 abroad silk sash crosses
the bust, while the ends are thrown over
the shoulders. Men aud women delight
in ear ornaments. The lobe Of the ear is
bored 20 a hole Of astonishing si2e-ofton

ticles are worn pieces OF wood. iewels or
rolls OF solid gold or silver. When no or
naments are in the ears the men often mt
their cheroots, or any small article in fre-
quent use, through them, and the women
use the holes az bouquet holders. The
food Of the Burmese Is both simple and
wholesome, consisting principally Of rice,
eaten with curry, and sauces Of stewed
melons, vegetables and pressed fsh. The
lower classes also eat all kinds of rep
tiles, lizards, iguanas and snakes, eggs Of
t0rt0is0s and red ants. A worm which,
