MEXICAN sAcRIFIcEs.
Some of the Horrible Customs Whic
= Chrfstianlty Has Done Away With.

some of the Horrible Customs Which
= Christianity Has Done Away With.
The Mexican sacrifices were, in
truth; Of the most frightfu1- description.
1t was an axiom among the Aztecs that
none but human sacrifices were truly
efficacious. They were continually
making war in order to get a supply of
victims. They regarded the victim,
when once Selected, ,as kind of incar-
hation of the deity AYho was ultimately
to Consume his flesh, or at any rate his
heart. They retained the practice of
cannibalism as a religious rite, and, as
though they had some of the redskins
blpod in their veins, they refined upon
the fortunes to which they forced those
victims, whom they had almost adored
the moment before, to undergo at last.
To celebrate the close of the annual
rule of Tezcatlpoca, which fell at the
beginning of May, they set apart a year
beforehand the handsomest of tho
prisoners of war captured during the
preceding year. They clothed him in
q costume resembling that of the image
of the god. He might go and come in
freedom, but he was always followed
by eight pages, who served at once as
an escort and guard. AS he passed,
| will not say that the people either
knelt or did not kneel before him, for
in Mexico the attitude expressive of
religious alteration was that of squat
ting down upon the launches. AS he
passed, then, the people squatted all
along the streets as soon as they heard
the sound of the bells that he carried
on his hands and feet.
Twenty days before the festival they
redoubled their care and attention.
They bathed him, anointed him with
perfume, and gave him four beautiful
damsels as companions, each one bear
ing the name of a goddess, and all of
them Instructed to leave nothing I'M
done to make their divine spouse as
happy as possible. He then took part
ingsPlendid banquets, surrounded by
the great Mexican MOBILES. But theday
before the great festival they placed
him and his four wives on board
royal canoe and carried them to the
other side of the lake. In the evening
the four goddesses quilted their un-
happy god, and his eight guardians
conducted him to lonely teocalli, a
league distant, where he was flung
upon the stone of sacrifices and his
heart torn from his bosom. He must
disappear and die with the god whom
he represented, who must now make
way for Nitzilopochtli. This latter
deity likewise had his human counter
part, who had to lead a war-dance in
his name before being sacrificed. He
had the grotesque privilege of choqs-
ing the hour of his own immolation,
but under the condition that the longer
he delayed it the less would his soul be
favored in the abode of Nitzilopochtli.

WATER AS A REMEDY.
How 1t May BE Used to Cure Various All
ments That Flesh Is Heir to.

How 1t May BE Used to Cure Various ALL
ments That Flesh Is Heir to.
Human life depends on air and water
more than on anything else. And yet
most of our infectious diseases reach
us through one or the other. 1t is
gratifying, however, to know that both,
when pure, not only share with food
the great Office of DEMONSTRATING, but
are signally helpful in Graduating dis
ease. Of all the agents that neutral
ize and destroy noXious impurity, the
oxygen of the air is most important,
The following will indicate some of
the remedial uses of water.
A plunge in cold water-followed by
vigorous frietion-or a copious shower
bath in a warm room is one of the best
of stimulants and tonics. Either kind
of bath, however, is unsafe where there
is low vitality or heart trouble.
Our best physicians now admit that
the heat of fevers-a high temperature
is their most dangerous quality-can be
best controlled by the judicious appli-
cation of water to the surface. 1t not
only greatly lessons their fatal tend
ency, but hastens the cure.
In the case of mutilated limbs, the
Inflammation and pain may be kept
down until the surgeons arrival by
plunging the part into water as hot as
can be borne. Indeed, in some cases,
a surgeon, instead of amputating a
badly crushed limb, has kept it in hot
water two or three days, and then when
the Inflammation had subsidized, picked
h. ~
and only thus-saved it.
Many internal or external pains can
be lessened or relieved by hot water
applied by means of hot cloths, con-
stantly renewed.
Various ailments of the stomach,
especially some hard forms of dyspep-
STA, can be helped, and sometimes
cured, by eopiously irrigating (wash-
ing out) the stomach. All the irritat-
ing acids and other fiuids-the products
of disclosure thus removed, and the
stomach is enabled to reeuperate with
rest.
The most Observation-Disclosures may
often be wholly removed in adults by
the drinking of tumbler of hot water
night and morning, or half an hour
before each meal.
A similar use of hot water is very
effective in some kinds of dyspepsia
and allied complaints.
The above facts are recognized by
the highest medical authorities.

. ~Fhe case ofsEvahsS vs. Da0yieS WIS
recently decided by the Tribunal, Pre-
miere Instance, after twenty-five min
utes' deliberatioh.. DR. Thomas W.
Evans, the founder Of the American
Ambulance during the siege of Paris,
has nephew. By decree of the Court
of Common Pleas in Pennsylvania in
1875 the nephew, not satisfied with his
plebeian name, legally assumed the
name of the Marquis or CountlD Oyley
The. young man is ALSO dentist, and
when he came to practice his profession
in Paris found that the aristocratic
name D'Oyley did not pay nearly as
well as the plebeian name of ESans!
AS matter of business policy, he
thereupon changed his name back again
to Evans; but to this the uncle objected
He SAID mo, D'Oyley you are. and
UOyley you shall remain. - The uncle
brought action against the nephew to
prevent him from using the name of
Evans. The French courtdecfded that
as the Pennsylvania court had decreed
the nephew's name to be the Marquis
or Count O'Oyley, the decree can not
be altered, and he had no right-to. as
sumo the name of Evans. Every time
he calls himself Evans he is to be fined
100 francs. -PGris Special.
