The heart is enclosed within a membran-
GUS (psricardium) which secretes lubri-

and the chest. Pericarditfs Is an inflamma-

greatly interferes with the action of the
heart. The acute tends to recovery by alb

become puruent, in which case it should be
drawn off.
Tho cavity of the heart is lined with q
somewhat similar membrane, called
endocar ium. This membrane, and es-
pecially that part OF it which forms the
valves, may also be inilamed (endocarditis).

CINCINNATI.-The Times Star says: GA
remarkable discovery mado last winter is
attracting widespread interest. AS it in
wolves most important question-that of
public health-it is being discussed by emil
nent physicians and public men. 1t is
shown conclusively that throat and lung
troubles can be cured without resorting to
the use of morphia or opium-especially
dangerous in the case of children as ar
resting development, and poisoning the
system. The Governor of Maryland and
all the officials of that State endorse. the
remedy; the State chemist of Delaware
pronounces it the purest and most effect
i've, and hospitals and charitable institu-
tions in Philadelphia and other cities use
it with remarkable results. The remedy,
which is only twenty cents bottle, is
Red Star Cough Cure. 1t is purely vege-
table; it contains no poison or narcotics,
and is positive cure.

not possibly be higher than one sixth
of the ratio of loss in sea borne mer-
chandise-say II for every 91,000
shipped, and as the quantity of sea
borne gold in 1870 averaged ESQ.,
10000 p0r annum, the loss by ship
wreck would be G10l, 600. If we allow

FRENCH FIREMEN.
The Extravagant Pay Enjoyed by the Fire
Laddies OF Paris.

The Extravagant Pay Enjoyed by the Fir0
Laddies OF Paris.
Over in Paris, when you see man
with red trousers, remarkably baggy,
with little blue jacket, tight enough
for corset, and with big red belt to
which ring "a attached, as though to
enable his mother to hang him out on
limb as some squaws do their papooses,
you have before you pompier or
Sapeur-pompier. Those are the words
employed by Frenchmen to express the
meaning of our word "tiremen," and it
is to those gentlemen with the wealth
of trousers that the citizens of the be-
nighted city conlide the work that ls
done by firemen over here.
The best place in the world to study
the Sapeur-pompier is around the big
fountain in the garden of the Tuilleries.
That is also desirable resort for the
student who would learn the ways of
the herds of French infants and of their
shepherdesses, the BONES in spotless
bonnets and fantastic ribbons. Moth
ing in the world presents better pict
ure of perfect happiness than POM
pier sitting in the sun with an amiable
bonnie beside him, unless it be the
French baby who finds himself free to
devour his toes unmolested That is
the attitude in which the pompier was
always studied by the writer of this
treatise who watched for four years
and ran across only one fire in Paris.
A New York fireman on reading this
will perhaps exclaim: "Oh, to be a
Sapeur-pompier" but he would be
wrong. A Sapeur's life may be long
dream of bliss; chain of happiness
whose links are untold BONES each
with ribbons more fantastic than those
of her predecessor, but then it is an aw-
fully economical dream of bliss. The
Sapeur- pompier is a soldier regularly
enlisted and chosen to be Sapeur on
account of his physical prowess and
agility. He must be pompior whether
he wants to or not, and his only conso-
lation is that he receives as compensa.
ton for the hard work which he is sup
posed to perform the unusually large
pay of fifty or sixty centimes day.
Reducing his salary for the poetical
centimes to the cold, hard cent it is
found that the pompier gets ten or
twelve cents day.-Cor Cincinnati

Lead-Poisoning at Sea.

The Paris Municipal Laboratory has
received report concerning an cpl
demic of lead-posoning which recently
happened on a Norwegian vessel coming
from Cadiz. Several of the crew exhib.
tied symptoms of lead-poisoning, and
the vessel was put into port in New
York. The Captain and several of his
men were sent to the hospital at Coney
Island. Two men died; the others re-
covered, after suffering severely. The
affair was investigated, and it was ascer-
tanned that impure drinking water was
the cause OF the catastrophe. The ships
tank was painted inside with red lead;
the water became of yellowish color.
The Municipal Laboratory has issued a
recommendation to landlords and all
persons who have cisterns or water
reservoirs that resin or tar, dissolved in
turpentine or benzine, should.be used for
painting them. 1t appears that in Paris
and its suburbs great many cisterns
are painted with pigment containing
lead. -Br,tiSb Medical Journal.
