TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD.
The Enthusiasm Relative to this Method
OF Treatment Dying Out.

The Enthusiasm Relative to this Method
Of Treatment Dying Out.
BY this ismeant the introduction Of
blood from the veins OF person, or an
animal, into the veins Of another person
who may have suffered a dangerous loss
OF blood.
There have been great changes OF
opinion as to the value Of this treatment.
Anciently the blood was regarded as the
life OF the man, or, as containing the
life in some mysterious sense, instead OF
simply furnishing nutriment to the va
rious tissues. Hence, long before tho
fact Of the blood S circulation was known
physicians tried to supply new life to the
body by introducing into it fresh, healthy
blood from another man or animal.
AS late as the seventeenth century
learned Psychologists discussed the ques-
ton whether the introduction of sleeps
blood into the dog would not give wool
and horns to the latter; or whether
lambs blood would not render an iras-
chile person mild; or whether the blood
of young person would not restore
youth to the aged. In the century that
followed many experiments in transfu-
sion were made on animals with these
ends in view.
Between thirty and forty years ago
TRANSMISSION of blood from one person to
another was frequently made, not only
in cases of loss Of blood. but for many
kinds of diseases. The theory was, that
the "bad blood of the patient should
be let out before the introduction of the
good blood" Grave and often fatal
results brought the practice into dis
credit.
In 1859, TRANSMISSION having resulted
quite successfully in certain class of
cases, it again became very popular,
and until about ten years ago was
looked on as almost a panacea in large
variety of ailments. To-day, however,
this enthusiasm has utterly died out.
1t is found that blood from an animal
transfused into a human being. or from
one animal into different kind, UNDER
goes injurious chemical changes; and
that when blood is introduced from one
human being into another, there is
great danger Of its CLOTHING in the veins.
It has also been learned that when
TRANSMISSION has saved life, it has been
simply from starting the stagnating
current, and not from any reviving
action of the new blood.
When loss of blood causes stoppage
Of circulation, though the heart con-
tinues to beat for while it fails to
draw up and circulate the blood, be-
cause the loss has so reduced the press
ure. 1t is now found that solution of
common salt starts the blood-current
equally well and with entire safety.
Blood, however, introduced directly
from the veins OF one person into the
veins of another, is also q safe opera.

How Japanese Babies Are Cared for-The
"Prayer Bag"

How Japanese Babies Are Cared for-The
"prayer Bag"
When Kline, the little Japanese baby,
was one hundred days old she was car
ried to the temple, just as some Ameri-
can parents take their little children to
the church to have them chr Stoned,
though Kine's parents do not know or
worship the true God The priest
wrote prayer on a piece of paper and
put it into the prayer-bag, which was
small and made of red Grape, embrold-
ere in white flowers and drawn to-
gether by silk cords. This bag con-
tanning the prayer was the guard from
evil, and it is deyoutly believed by all
Japanese to have the power of keeping
children from evil spirits, from delusion
by foXes-for the people think that fox
es can cheat or enchant people-and
from aii dangers. This ltte red bag
was attached to the girdle behind.
After bestowing gift in money upon
the priest, the parents and relatives re-
turned home with the little girl and
held II great feast in her honor. Kline
was carefully nursed, and carried on
the back of Il faithful servant who fast
ened her there by n long string or
bandage drawn around the waist and
legs OF the child, and crossed over the
neck and shoulders of the maid Her
little head and bright eyes would bob
on every side as her nurse walked or
ran, and here she would 90 soundly
asleep, or play as any baby would. She
was never carried in any person arms
Japanese babies seldom are. When
Kine's aunts or cousins wished to coax
her away from her nurse CT mother,
they would hold their backs invitingly,
and she would put out her little arms
and 90 10 one or another as she chose.
Clasping tightly the neck of the favored
one, and held there by the feet or legs,
she would be as happy as il cuddled up
in the arms. As the babJ grew and be-
gan to walk, little sandals made of
straw were put on her feet. These
were fastened on by putting the great
toe through a loop. When She was a
year old her hair, which had been
shaved, was allowed 10 grow little,
and then tied on the top in very fun.
