Hot Water in Uonsumption uases,

A correspondent in Canada writes
this interesting and perhaps, useful let
ter to Chambers Journal "Noticing
an extract from the World of Science,
in which physician strongly recon-
mends hot water in place of tea or cof-
fee as a stimulant for the use of those
requiring to study late at night would
like to give my experience of it as q
bent fetal agent In consumption Mrs.
---,one of family number Of whose
members had died of consumption, was
after severe exposure to snow storm,
seized with a serious cough and expec-
toration, accompanied with loss of
flesh. Examination by physician
showed that one lung was seriously af-
flicted. She was wholly confined TO
her room, aud everything that medical
attendance and loving care could do TO
mitigate her suffering was done, but
Intellectually. The depressing night
sweats continued, together with loss of
rest from repeated fits of coughing.
Losing all faith in medicine, some six
months ago lis use was wholly aban-
doned and the use of nourishing diet
only continued. About ten weeks ago
the patients attention was directed to
a newspaper paragraph recommending
hot water as remedy fer consump-
tion. Feeling that little harm could
ensue from its use, she determined TO
test it. AT the moment of retiring a
large tumbler of hot water, in which
the juice of lemon had been mixed to
free it from nausea, was taken. In a
few moments glow of warmth would
pervade the lungs, chest, etc, quickly
followed by the most refreshing sleep,
which would be unbroken by any
cough, and the patient would awake in
the morning rested and strengthened.
A few days ago she was seized with a
fit of coughing, during which was
coughed up into her mouth small
stcne about the size of pea-formed
of sulphate of lime, | believe, and us

er this mail ked improvement was due
to the use of hot water, cannot ven

A Ten -Year-0ld Boys Heroic Rescue,

A woman named Pfautz, who lived
near Reading, drowned herself and
three of her children last week. Har-
ry Pfoutz, a boy about ten years old
gave the following remarkable story Of
youthful heroism. Mrs. Pfautz was
the mother OF seven children, and her
purpose was to drown them all with
herself, but only FIVE consented to go
with her. They sat down near the
breast Of the dam and she told the boy
of ten to get her stick lying on the
groud. just as he had bis back turned
the mother hurriedly followed and
quickly pushed the little fellow into
the water Then the other children cried,
but she did not stop second. Quick
ly catching hold of the other three she
threw them one by one in the water
and then with the baby in her arms
jumped in.
The boy of ten was good swimmer
and kept his presence of mind. He
first helped out his brother, aged seven.
In the meanwhile the girl, aged nipe,
was drowning and the boy helped her
out Then he dived in TO save his
mother and the two children. By su-
perhnman efforts he succeeded in get
ting out his mother and the baby. He
had to struggle considerably before he
could get out his mother, because she
screamed that she wanted to die. The
brave son then dived in TO get the lit
tie GIRL aged three hut by the time he
found the body and got it out his little
sister was dead. The mother sat cry
ing on the bank and begged the boy to
run home and bring his father asd the
team. She said she would wait there
with the two children until he got
back. The boy took his brother aged
seven and bis sister aged nine with
him, because he was afraid the mother
might throw them in again. He also
wanted to take the baby along. but this
she would not give up. The three
children went back to the farm house.
Mr.. Pfautz drove quickly back to the
dam, but when he got there his wife
and the babe were not TO be found. "A
handkerchief lay on the ground. The
flood gates were opened and the water
drawn off. 1t washed out the bodies
of Mrs. Pfautz, her baby and the child.
As soon as the three children had gone
back the woman must have seized the
dead child and with her babe jumped
into the water the second time and
sank to the potion. .i

times told me that when the CAPT

point To call on every member of the Leg

its homes. This practice was kept una
until near the end of the war. MembeTN
OF the Legislature in those days were
almost without exception solid men,
either rich planters or professional men,
and almost invariably came in their own
equipages, attended by a retinue of SER

great heavy chaTiOts of the Olden DAYS
drawn by four and six horses. More of

instances their spacious corridors and

BENEDICT ARNOLD's BRIDE.
\ story of Aaron Burr and the Traitors
Bride.

a story of Aaron Burr and the Traitors
Bride.
The Quaker City has not been famed for
the beauty of it's women in this day only.
The pages Of all its sedate history are
bright with the faces of pretty maidens
and stately matrOns. Among the beau
ties Of the Revolutionary days none was
more charming that gay, iIl-starred Mar
earet Shippen. Her family at that time
was one of the most influential in the
provinces, and it has continued to give to
Philadelphia a succession of sturdy, high
minded men and women, though her own
life was clOUded by suspicious Of dislOy-
atty. she married Benedict Arnold when
she was IS. She first met him in Phila-
delphia on his return from Canada, loaded
with hOnOrs, and her gITlish fancy was
captiVated by mis- dashing manners and
the splendOr of his career. Her family
opposed the union, but she insisted on 1t.
and would have become his wife IN spite
of all opposition, but the barriers were at
last removed. She had been married about
a year and just become a mother when
her rusGand committed the traltOrOus
deed that will make his name despised
through all time. She was at West Point
with her baby. She was at once taken
into custody and given into charge of
Gen. Hamilton and Aaron Burr, to be
conveyed to Philadelphia. She was nOtper-
mitted to remain in peace, however, even
at the house of her father. The indigna-
tiOn of the pOpulace was at fever heat,
and the traitors young bride was ordered
10y the Provincial Council, then the gov
erning body, to leave the colonies. In
vain her father, afterwards Chief Justice,
pleaded for mercy. He offered the largest
security for her conduct; promised that
she should receive no communication of
any kind from any one through any but
the public channels and under the closest
scrutiny. 1t was in vain. The Council
would not modify its decree. The young
wife left for England, met her husband
there and lived with him to a good old
age. Some of their descendants have
done distinguished service in the English
army and navy and in the English
Church. On the way to Philadelphia the
beautiful young mother and her custO-
dams rested at a farm house near Tren-
ton kept by Mrs. Provost. After Mrs.
Arnold had died Aaron Burr, himself a
traitor in embryo. publicly stated that
Mrs. Arnold had there declared that her
husbands sentiments were her senti-
ments. and that she was a true rOyalist
and an opponent of rebellion. ''W hat he
omitted to say" remarked a relative OF
Mrs. ArnOld's the other day in converse
tiOn about this matter, twas that he had
on that occasion endeavOred to betray her,
and that she had Indignantly repealed his
advances

WHAT ONE WOMAN DID.
How the Oral Teaching of AIutes was
Begun.

HOW the OEal eaCnlnS OF MuIts WAS
Begun.
About three years ago, says the Youths
Companion, a young woman in one OF our
Eastern cities, unmarried, and with no
close family ties, looked about in the
world for some helpful work to do. Near
her lived a deaf and dumb child, a little
girl with speaking, intelligent eyes.
Her parents were not able to send her
to the asylum. Her kindly-hearted neigh
Dor became very much attached to the
child. studied the German method of oral
teaching for the dumb, and brought little
Mary every day to her house to try to i'm
part It to her.
The child placed her hand on her teach
er's throat, and bringing her face close to
hers. learned first to inhale and eXpel the
air. Then each sound of every letter and
word was taught by sight In the same
manner.
The pupil followed the motion of the
speakers lips, and replied in the
same mechanical way. One deaf and
dumb child after another joined little
Mary at her task until the school num-
bered seventy-eight pupils, with nine
teachers. The infinite patience required
in this training is almost inconceivable.
But the progress is rapid.
Three \ ears have passed since the OPEN
ing Of the school, and the pupils nave ac-
quired all that a child would learn in its
nursery and primary schOOl-tO speak,
read, write and understand the first four
rules of arithmetic. The school is free.
Its work. so far, has been to make of
these creatures, who were little better
than animals, active, intelligent human
beings. and this work is due to one ear
nest, kindly woman.
