Lay q Falnsing Pcr.on Down.

It is surprising how eagerly everybody
PUSHES at fainting person, and strives
to raise him up. and especially to keep
the head erect, says physician. There
must be an instructive apprehension that

other fit fall into the recumbent position,

! laid her head down on lower level
than her body, and Immediately color
returned to her lips and cheeks and she
became conscious.
To the excited group of friends said
Always remember this fact, namely !:
fainting is caused by want of blood in
the brain; the heart ceases to act with
sufficient force to send the usual quantity
of blood to the brain. and hence per-
son loses consciousness because the func-
ton to the brain ceases Restore the
blood to the brain, and instantly the
person RECEIVERS
Now, though the blood is propelled
to oil parts of the body by the action of
the heart, vet it is still under the in
fluence of the laws of gravitation In
the erect position the blood ascends to
the head against gravitation, and the
supply TO the brain is diminished, as
compared with the recumbent position,
the hearts pulsation being equal. If
then, you place a person in sitting
position whose heart has nearly ceased
to beat, his brain will fail to receive the
blood, while if you lay him down, with
the head lower than the heart, blood
will run into the brain by the mere
force of gravity; and in fainting, in
sufficient quantity TO restore conscious
ness. Indeed, nature teaches us how
to manage fainting persons. for they
always fall, and frequently are at once
restored by the rccumbent position into
which they are thrown. Tribune and

Hundreds of women an over the coun-
try are sufferers from neuralgia to such
an extent, Ia many cases, as TO find life q

the British Medical Rericp gives one SO.
luton as to the cause: "Therc is no re-
cognized reason why Of late years 1eu-
ralgla OF the face and scalp should have
increased so much in the female sex as

doubt that it is one of the most com
mon of female maladies one of the
most painful and difficult of treat
ment. II is also cause of much men
tai depression, and leads more often to
habits of incompetence than any other.
This growing prevalence Of neuralgia
may to some extent be referred to the eff
fects Of cold upon the terminal branches
OF the nerves distributed to the skin, and
the reason why men arc less subject to it
than women may. TO a great extent,
think, be explained by the much greater
protection afforded by the mode in
which the former cover their heads
when they are in the open air. 1t may
be observed that the surface of tho head
which is actually covered in man is at
least three times that which fashion al
lows to woman; indeed. the points Of
contact between the hat or bonnet and
the head in the latter arc so irregular as
practically to destroy any protection
which might otherwise lie afforded. IL

Officers Placed in g. false Position
" by Society Worsaipers.

A writer in the New York World de-
clares that the so-called array honor is
a myth there being no higher sense of
honor among the army officers as class
than there is among people OF equal ed
ucation and position in other occupations
of life. I doubt if there is as much.
Army officers are placed in false po-
sition through the attention paid them by
society. An army officer comes to Wash
ington and he is invited everywhere,
and is called upon to associate with peo-
pie who have plenty of money. As q
natural result he soon becomes involved
financially. 4 man who feels the sharp
pressure of debt cannot always afford
the luxury of indulging in the
most rigid ideas of what is strictly
honorable. None of them have any
better pay than the department.
clerks and bureau chiefs. Yet these Of
fcers live O.: the best hotels as general
thing, have carriages, dress we'll and
are seen everywhere. The department
clerks, who have equal salaries, live in the
back rooms OF cheap boarding hous es,
wear shabby clothes and never go
in society. A second lieutenant has

that is if he is mounted. An unmounted
first lieutenant gets 81. 500. A captain
not mounted is paid 81 800. A. captain
mounted has So 600. 1t will be seen
that up to the grade Of captain officers
rank with the department clerks so far
as salary goes. When you get above
captain you strike the salaries paid to
the chiefs of bureaus. A major is paid
$4,000; a Northumberland, $4,000; a
colonel, $500. It is only when you
reach the rank of brigadier- general that
the pay of Senator or member is

Origin of Masonry.

A writer in recent number of the
Voice OF Masonry upon the origin OF
the order, gives a variety of views held
by high authority, but holds that it an
tedates the Christian era, or is, at least,
not Christian in ITS inception. The
writer says: "'The whole ritual Of
Masonry-blue masonry as we techni-
cally cali tin it's system of words,
grips and signs, as we'll as it's tradition,
points to non Christian origin, and
most unequivocally is Judaistic in its
conception. Its hieroglyphic and
mnemonic records, it's oral transmission,
its impressive manner of imparting in
struction and fixing valuable lessons,
and its thorough conservation to law
and order, all 60 to show that it is not
modern in it's origin and conception. I
believe, then, in the antiquity Of Mason
ry that it was once specially Egyptian
in its character; that subsequently it
was purified by Solomon, perhaps, and
by him consecrated to the noblest pur-
poses; that, becoming then the heritage
OF the Israelites, it assumed its un~
doubted Hebraic character; that it has
been largely modified by successive
generations and nations; that in the
lapse of ages it became, under the
Providence of God, the Inheritance of
the Anglo Saxon race, who, after per-
petuating it for centuries as they re-
ceived it, finally, under the inspiration
of genius, following the example Of
others, remodeled and reconsecrated it,
giving it its Christian character, and
vet, in the broadness Of its charity and
the glory of its philanthropy, not ex-

true God, has the other necessary quail
fcations for information.

From the Madison Wisconsin
The Oshkosh Northwestern tells. OF
the misfortune of German residing in
that city. As he was passing along the
road, he saw maple tree. Having an
axe and wedge with him, he thought
it would be a good thing to tap the tree
and get taste OF sap. Cutting good
sized cash in the tree with his axe, he
inserted the wedge in order to,keep il
open and then stopped down to get q
swallow of sap. In his endeavor TO get
sip of the sweet fluid he got his nose
into the opening he had cut, when sud
denly out slipped the wedge, and the
unfortunate victim WAS caught by the
nose. and held as securely as Il his pros
boscis was in wise. For two. whole
hours thai poor man was held BY the
nose in stopping position. unable to
get up or.dovn or yell. At the end Of
two hours some people passing along
the road released him. .i ii.

The Aston Millions.

Now 10TH ll6tVeI.
Another million or 80 Of the Astor
money is about to be spent on a large
Office building. The location this time
is in Pine street, just off Broadway. A
few years ago one Of the Astors put up
a costly building Of this kind in Wall
street, between Broadway and Nassau
street, and it has paid pretty we'll. The
building in Pine street will back against
the costly Equitable Life structure,
which is to be enlarged pretty soon by
running through to Nassau street, and
taking in on Broadway a building THAI
is now occupied as one of the Delmonico
restaurants. Almost that whole block
bounded by Broadway, Nassau, Pine
and Cedar streets-will then belong to
the Astors and the Equitable Life. Pine
street has been for years the headquar-
ters OF the real estate brokers, and
whole swarm Of them will be turned
out on the LIST of May, when prepara-
tions for putting up the new Aston
building will begin. The Astors are
still true to the family traditions in the
matter of investing their money. Near
ly all their accommodations go into real
estate. All their millions were made
in real estate and they still prefer that
kind of investment to any other. Wall
street never had any charm for them
and probably never will. A few years
ago they bought large track of land up
in Westchester County, with the expec-
tation that it will in time prove as good
an investment as some of those made
by the founder of the family when land
was as cheap on Murray Hill as it is III
Westchester County now. They are not
a very brilliant family, but they have a
full share of solid "Dutch sense.

Diabetes.

The chief characteristic Of this disease
lis an abnormal amount Of sugar in the
blood. The cause of it is quite uncer-
tain. According to Flint, it occurs in
The vast majority Of cases between the
ages Of thirty and fifty; in men oftener
than in women. It may exist a long
time before it is noticed, and then con-
tinue years before proving fatal. It
often gives fatal issue to otherwise
mild diseases. Its chief test is a large
per centage Of sugar in the water, the
quantity Of the latter, also, generally,
not always, being increased. r.
Among the earlier symptoms are great
thirst, a strong appetite, dryness of the
mouth and acid saliva later, emaciation,
increasing muscular feebleness, and in
many cases irritabiGty. melancholy and
mental weakness. TO arrest it, it must
be taken in it's early stages. One third
or more of its cases end in consump-
ton. ssE
A diabetic patient, when the disease
has become confirmed, is liable to
sudden death. The heart may fail from
paralysis Of its nerves; Or, the blood
poison affecting the brain, the person
NAV sink into a state of insensibility,
delirium and coma (fatal lethargy). A
slight cold may bring on this result.
So may mere constipation and undue
physical exertion, mental emotion, or
anxiety.
Flint says, "The disease seems less
formidable than heretofore, provided
proper treatment be adopted and per-
sisted in" The main thing is to arrange
for the patient diet which excludes,
as far as possible, sugar and starch,
and induce him rigidly to continue it.
while cutting off SO many articles OF the
ordinary diet, pains must pc taken to
supply their place with others sufficient
ly nutritious and appetizing. Gluten
bread may take the place Of common
wheat bread It contains only one
third as much starch az that made from
entire wheat, and is acceptable to the
taste..
The body should be carefully pro-
tected against the influence Of atmos-
pheric changes, and the skin be kept
IN good condition. There should be
exercise in the open air, but it should
be moderate. Mental relaxation and
recreation should be secured. ~ outh' $
