A number of dogs were recently

A number of dogs were recently dosed with morphine until they became insensible, the object being to determine what drug would act most rapidly as an antidote. It was found that hy- podermic injections of theine neu tralized the narcotic almost in stantly, although it was employed only after the heart had ceased to beat. Caffeine had a consider able anti-narcotic power, but was not equal to the principle derived from tea.

The UnsOund Body OF the Athlete.

The autopsy on the body Of Robert E.
Odlum, the man who leaped into the
East river from the Brooklyn bridge, not
only showed that the fall had crushed
nearly his vital organs, but also disclosed
the fact that, IN spite of his magnificent
muscular development and stalwart
physique, his body was far from sound.
There was a tubercular deposit at the
apex of the left lung, his liver had been
ruptured years before and healed again,
and one kidney showed fatty degcnera
tion, while the other was full of cystic
degeneration. That is to say, he was
likely to become consumptive or to die
of kidney disease, and yet Odlum was q
man of fine physique and rugged appear.

Model ROad-Maklng.

The form OF pavement that is used in
London and Paris, and but little if any
in this country, is thus described by II.
A. Chaplin, Of this city, who has invcsti.
gated its qualities: Beneath the pave.
mcnt proper is built agroutcd, solid bed,
q foot deep, made of cement and coarse
gravel! The top surface describes d
gradual curve from curb to curb like the
surface made by the present system. On
this bed are set endwise pine blocks,
kyanized or boiled in co.d-tar, with an
upper surface of thirty l'larc inches and
vertical length of seven or eight inches.
These are placed little apart, and the
spaces between are filled with Roman
cement tempered properly with sand,
which, being swept, leaves q smooth sur
face. This preparation serves to protect
the wood from water, and every rain or
sprinkling washes all impurities into the
cutters, leaving the pavement perfectly
clean. The construction is slightly
yielding, it is said, and affords plenty of
foothold for horses without tearing their
feet to pieces. The way this surface
stands wear is wonderful. In the
thronged London thoroughfares like
Chcapsde and the Strand 700 loaded
omnibuses run over this kind of pave
ment continuously every day, beside all
the rest of the general traffic, and the
surface is free from indentations and no
noise like that the granite blocks gives
out is heard. 1t differs materially from
the Nicholson pavement. That has tarred
or untarred blocks side by side, but no
bed beneath to keep the surface even or
cement to keep the water out, Conse'
qucntly it has rotted. The method dc.
scribed is said to cost no more than tho
granite pavement. Springfield Rcpu6i-

THE HOME DOCTOR.
First Indications OF Consumption !.

First Indications OF Consumption !.
It is not as extensively known as it
ought TO be that in the large majority OF
cases consumption begins with q slight
cough in the morning on getting up.
After while it is perceived at night on
going to bed; next there is an occasional
coughing spell some time during the
night; by this time there is a diffic ulty
of breathing on any slightly unusual ex-.
ercise, or in ascending q hill, and the
patient expresses himself with some sur
prise: "Why, it never used to tire me
sop Next there is occasional coug hing
after full meal, and sometimes least.
ing up" Even before this persons be-
gin to feel weak, while there is an almost
imperceptible thinning in flesh and .
gradual diminution in weight-harassing
cough, loose bowels, difficult breathing,
swollen extremities, daily fever and a
miserable death. Miserable because tits
tedious, painful and inevitable. How
much it IS to be wished that the symp-
toms of this hateful disease were more
generally studied and understood that it
be detected in its first insidious ap-
proaches and application be made at
once for its arrest and total eradication;
for certain it is that in very many in
stances it could be accomplished. .
It must be remembered that cough is
not On invariable attendant of consump-
ton of the lungs, inasmuch as persons
have died, and on examination q large
portion of the lungs was found to have
decayed away, and yet these same per-
sons were never noticed to have had Q
cough or observed it themselves, until
within few days of death. But such
instances are rare, and an habituai
cough, on getting up and on going to
bed, may be safely set down as indicat-
ing consumption begun:
Cough. as just stated, is originally q
curative process-the means which ma,
ture uses to rid the body OF that which
offends, of that which was foreign to the
system and ought to be out of it; hence
the folly of using medicines to keep
down the cough. as all cough remedies
sold in the shops merely do, without
taking means at the same time for re-
moving that state of things which makes
cough necessary.-Halps Journal Of

THE CHOLERA SCOURGE.
Spread OF the Dreaded Disease
Thrau1Il0uf Snain,

aAAOuSAOut 5pdIhb
At time Of the year when the cholera had
only taken a few scores Of lives in Toulon
and its suburbs and had just made its appear.
ance in Marseilles in 1884, there have been
1900 deaths, reported from eight provinces
of Spain, which is moro than half the entire
number Of deaths in all of France last year.
From the start, says London dispatch, the
rate Of mortality in Spain has been far greater
than it was in France, and latterly it has be-
come greater than it was last year even in
Naples The average ratio Of deaths to cases
now is about four in nine throughout Spain.
Roughly speaking, the death ratio was two
in seven in France last year and three in seven
in Italy. Within the last week, and notably
has this been the case in Murcia, more than
half the people attacked have died. and in
the new provinces where the pest has ap-
peared within the last few days escapes have
been tho exception.
All tho features of last years sicge either
essential or eccentric-anL who shall say in
this strange disease which is which-are baing
repeated. The fearful experience at the AK
madhouse finds its parallel in all asylum out
side of Madrid, where the lunatics are dying
like sheep in nurTain. Tho peculiar
susceptibility Of young soldiers to cholera,
which was noted at Touon and in
Campobasso last year, has been exemplified
again at the Toledo barracks. The deaths
