The Care OF Children.

BosToN. MAss.-A leading medical
journal thinks it is about time mothers
should know how seriously the health
of children is imperiled by the use of
preparations containing morphia and
opium, and given for the cure of colds
and coughs. The chemist of the Brook
Ign Board of Health, Otto Grothe.
Ph.D., a graduate of the University of
Kiel, Germany, certifies officially that
recently harmless and yet effective
article for such complaints has come to
his notice. He refers to the newly dis
covered Red Star Cough Cure, which he
found purely vegetable.

Water for Blasting Purposes.

The use of water liz connection with
blasting in mines and quarries is rapid
ly extending in this country and Eu-
rope. A tube filled with water is in
serted in the bore hole next to the
power cartridge, the tube being of thin
plate or even of paper. The usual
tamping follows, and when the explo-
sion occurs, the tube containing the
water is burst, the explosive violence
being increased by the presence of the
water and extended over the enlarged
interior area of the bore hole, due to
the space occupied by the water tube.
A much larger quantity of the material
to be mined or quarried is thereby
brought down or loosened with a
smaller quantity of explosive used,
while the heat of the explosion con-
verts a portion of the water into steam,
which, with the remaining water, ex-
tinguishes the flame and absorbs and
neutralizes the gases and smoke gen
erated.-AltG California.

Mr.. Beecher i'll Richmond.

In. 1877 Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
came to Richmond for the first time
and lectured on lizard Times" 1t
was rather hard times for Mr.. Beecher
in public sentiment at that time, and
he lectured to a house full of men.
He said then that he would live to re-
turn to Richmond and lecture, and to
the ladies as well as gentlemen. Last
night he did lecture to a crowded
house at the theater, and that too, with
as full a proportion of our best ladies
as is generally seen in an audience.
At S:15 o'clock Mr.. Beecher. accom-
panied by Mr.. Stable, of the theater
management, came out on the stage,
and took q seat on sofa which was
placed in the center of the stage, flank
ed by two chairs at each end. After
the gas was lighted in the rear of the
fiat which hid the rear part of the stage,
Mr.. Stable came forward and, adj
dressing the audience, read letter
from Mayor Darlington, in which the
writer gave good excuse for having
TO ask to be excused from his en-
gagement to introduce Mr.. Beecher.
The mayor took occasion to assure
Mr.. Beecher, to whom the letter was
addressed, of his deep regret at not
being able to be present, and express
ed the hope that the time would yet
come when he could testify his high
appreciation of the distinguished visi-
tor. "On this account, ladies and gen
tlemen, | have the pleasure of intro
ducing the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
who will now proceed to deliver his
lecture said Mr.. Stable. Mr..
Beecher has not altered any since his
last visit. He looks healthy and hap
py, and a selt-satsfied smile played
on his iocund face as he came forward
and in low but distinct and measur-
ed voice said: at gives me great
pleasure to be in Richmond. Many.
many men worthier than l desired it
long and died without enjoying it,
He then alluded to the changes that
have taken place, referred to Cleve-
lands election, and said: Mot as
matter of form, but with deepest sin
cerity the south and north had stretch
ed out hands to each other, and with
their hands had gone their hearts. 1t
had been the earnest desire of his
heart to see this country united. and
that, too, on a plane of perfect equali-
tv to all, and that desire had been
realized" This was received with
great applause, as was Mr.. Beecher's
first appearance on the stage.-Kich-
nlOmd (VG.) Dispatch.

Persian Bread.

persian bread" writes a CORE
spondent now in Afghanistan, sis II
very peculiar production; it is made in
large flaps, in some cases about yard
long-if ever the Persians reach the
advanced state of morning newspapers
they might have them printed on their
bread, so that they could read the
news while they eat and swallow
everything literally. On seeing these
large flaps have often thought that
they must resemble the blacksmith's
leather apron which was the old
standard of Persia; if the bread is not
made after that model they have man
aged to produce an article very like it,
not only in size, but in color aud
toughness at the same time. We have
had now nearly two months exper-
fence of this material, and 1T was
delight on coming here to get for our
breakfast the first morning bread that
was made on somewhat later model
than an old leather apron. The chances
of finding change in this detail OF our
daily life on reaching the Indian camp
had often been discussed on the way,
particularly at breakfast, when we
were hard at work trying To masticate
pieces of the leather kind. One of our
party said he knew Maj. Rind, the
commissariat officer of the other camp,
and that he was not likely to come
away without the means of baking
good bread; but we had been so long
used to that Persian kind that these
assurances did not inspire much hope.
There had been doubts, but these were
dispelled AZ our first breakfast. But
ter actually appeared on the table
with the bread. | fear for the moment
we either forgot, or thought lightly
of, the splendid pillaws in the break
fast prepared for us by the governor
of Khorasan's cook at Meshed; or the
many delicacies Ali Mardan Khan
treated us with at Sarrakhs. One man
tried to talk while munching mouth
full of bread and butter,-the amount
in his mouth slightly interfered with
his articulation-but we made out that
he meant to say it was almost as good
as arriving at Dover; of course he
meant to add that it was after having
been a long time in the east away
from England, but at that moment he
had not a moment to spare, and left
the sentence IN its incomplete form as
here recorded"

An Art In Smoking.

81 can tel. directly when / see him
light his cigar whether a man is going
to enjoy his smoke, or, indeed, whether
he knows how TO do so. | often smile
when / see a man looking through
bundle of cigars and picking out one,
under the fond impression that he is
making me think he is a Judge. There
is an old story of man who went into
a store and asked the dealer for the
best cigar he had. He was handed a
ten-cent cigar That didn't satisfy him,
he wanted a more expensive one. He
was shown several, ranging fifteen,
twenty, twenty-five and fifty cents
apiece, but he always pretended they
were not good enough, although any of
them was an excellent article, the most
expensive being so on account of its
brand and perhaps its perfume or some
storekeeper became annoyed and wear
led, so he determined to settle the mat
ter. i have cigar here which l sel
dom sell, because | haze only one box
left; they are a dollar cigar and are
very choice
why didn't you bring EN- out be-
fore?' said the customer Accordingly
the dealer handed him one of his five
cent cigars, pocketed the dollar and
the man went away perfectly satisfied.
| don't think that it is an exaggerated
case | know that in nine cases out of
ten where people ask for a very ex-
pensive cigar it is only because they
happen to be very flush of money and
want to brag of the big price they have
paid for their smoke. "-Philadelphia
Times.

Glove Sees No Fanits. /,

1t has been said but when a woman is
dragged down. emaciated, wan, and q
shadow of her former self, with never a
cheerful word, she can be no longer
beautiful or lovable. Nature may have
been generous in her gifts, and endowed
her with all the charms of her sex, but
disease has crept in unawares and
stolen the roses from her cheeks, the
lustre from her eye, and the 81 nshine
from her heart. But to be well again
hes in your own power. Take DR..
Pierce's "Favorite Prescription. 1t

A Building of Glass,

A queer building is in process of
erection in Chicago by Boston man.
The walls will be of plate glass, aud
there will be very little material in the
whole structure except glass, cement,
and red slate. The building is to be
used for offices, and it, is calculated
that rs per cent of the entire space
can be made available, whereas so
much room is taken up in ordinary
buildings by walls, halls. ETC.. that the
available space is only from AZ to 543
per cent. The walls of the new edifice
will contain about $40 lineal feet of
glass.-Boston Transcript.
