THE DIFFERENCE.

A Brother to BE Proud of-Another OF
Whom His Sister Was Ashamed. y
A handsome stately youth of sixteen
years passed one day through the play
ground of public school.
"There goes brother Robert" called
out little girl in the midst of a group
of scholars. Isn't he handsome?'
"Why? Whyp" cried out several
voices at once.
"Oh, he is so good! He never
swears, nor chews or smokes tobacco,
neither does he ever drink any liquor.
l am so glad that | have such broth
err"
The children all looked again with
admiration upon the youth, when one
of them earnestly remarked: Il hope
my brother will be like him.
The next day two young men in a
buggy drove rapidly past the same chill
dren. One of them had a cigar stump
in his mouth ard he was so drunk that
he could scarcely sit up AS the bug
gy went by the children, they heard
him utter terrible oath.
= That is VIII Burton, said one OF
the children; she tends in a saloon,
and he is drunk the greater part of his
time. I would be ashamed to have
such brother"
None of them noticed that little
girl ran awar and hid herself. In a
few minutes her playmates missed her,
and hunted her. They soon found her
weeping and sobbing as if her heart
would break. She refused to tell the
cause of her trouble; but it was clear to
all of them, as little girl whispered to
another: THAT drunken boy was her
brother"
Boys, see that your actions and lives
may be SO that your sisters may be
proud of you. Never give them any
cause to be ashamed of you. = Words Of
Cheer

Sex in Education.

State Superintendent Robert Graham,
in the course of an address to the Wis
consin State Teachers Association, said
that only one-seventh of all the teachers
of the State are of the male sex Presi-
dent Burton, of the Association, admit
ted that the female teachers were doing
admirably, and were, on the average,
superior to men for certain phases of
educational work, but thought male
teachers were needed to exercise those
disciplinary influences over boys which
women could not exercise. Superin-
tendent Graham concurred in this view,
believing it advisable that the schools
should be supplied with larger pro-
portion OF men, The question why so
many more women than men seek the
position of teacher was not discussed,
despite the inviting opportunity. Cur

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The President
yesterday commissioned Baker p. Lee to
be Collector of Customs at Yorktown, Va,
aud Adelaide Guernon to be Collector
of Customs for the district of Min
nesota. These appointments were made
some time ago, but the commits
sions were withheld in order that
a further investigation of the charges
against the incumbents of the offices might
be made. The investigation has been made

age may be Of some little use in compress
Ing certain blood vessels, and thus lessen
ing the drain of blood from the brain. In
deed, there is little doubt that were a man
to tie rope so tightly about his neck as to
stop the flow of blood in the veins of the
neck he would not be seasick although it
Is true that he would die of strangulation
and aspayXia-a fact that to the minds of
some physicians would be an argument
against the general use of the remedy
The proper treatment for seasickness Is
simply to stand the patient on mis- head.
This would effectually prevent any undue
flow of blood from the brain, and would
thus render seasickness impossible. 1t is
not necessary that the treatment should be
kept up for any great length of time.
Twenty-four hours in ordinary cases would
be sufficient, for by the end of that time
the patient would probably become accus-
toned to the motion of the ship and his
brain would adapt itself to the new condi-
tions.
Steamship companies ought to provide
facilities for the proper treatment of sea-
sick passengers. When the number of pas
sengers is small they could be seized up by
the feet to the mzzen stay before the ship
reaches Sandy Hook, but on board most of
our large passenger ships ii would be found
necessary to provide stout spars to be
placed fore and aft at an elevation of, say,
twenty feet above the deck. A watch
tackle could be provided for each passen-
ger, and with its help he or she could be
run up to the spar and left hanging by the
feet for4.s long time as might be neces-
sary. Propriety would, of course, dictate
the use Of a separate spar for each sex, and
it might be well to swing the children
apart from their parents, SO that the latter
would not be annoyed by childish outcries
In case of rain tarpaulin thrown across
the spar and hanging down on each side of
the passengers would protect them from
wet. 1t would be necessary to lower away
each passenger at meal times SO that he
could be comfortably fed, but the adj
vantages of swinging the passengers so
high as to have them completely out of the
way of the sailors when working On deck
is obvious.

A NEW CURE.
The Cause and the Prevention of
Seasickness.
A Scientific Discovery and the Remedies
Suggested Thereby-Hint for Steam
ship Companies, with Suit
able Illustrations.

An eminent physician has finally discov-
cred the cause of seasicknes. OF course
going to sea is the original cause of sea-
sickness, but the immediate cause of the
nausea, headache and prostration which
constitutes seasickness is q lack of blood
in the brain. Nature, not foreseeing that
men would ever trust themselves on the
the sea, omitted to supply The vessels of
the brain with valves. The result is that
when person is subjected for the first
time to the motion of vessel at sea, the
blood, in accordance with the law of gravita-
ton, is drawn from the brain, and there
being no valves to retain it, the heart finds

Earthquake in Asiatic Russia.

LONDON, Aug. 4.--Dispatches from
Tashkend, in Asiatic Russia, state that
a great earthquake has visited that re-
gion. It damaged most of the houses
in the town of Bisheerzek and ruined
the cities of Suluk and BelyOodsk.
In the latter place church was
shaken to fragments while it was crowded
with worshipers, large number of whom
were killed. The earth opened in great
assures in BelYoodsk and many people were
swallowed up. Later adyices are that fifty
four persons were killed and sixty-four in
jured. Shocks continue to be felt, and the
inhabitants are panic-stricken.

ulnculty III pumping enough blood into
the brain to supply the drain.
This theory enables us to understand why
sailor on his first voyage RECEIVERS from sea-
sickness so much more rapidly than a pas
senger. The reason is that he is compelled
to work, and his circulation being thereby
quickened his brain is better supplied with
blood than is the brain of the idle passen-
ger. 1t is the common belief of the sea-
sick person that he obtains temporary re-
lief by emptying his stomach. The facts
of the case are that the effort to thus re-
lieve himself throws the blood into his
brain and he thereupon feels better. Those
judicious persons who spend the first TWEEN
ty-fours of sea voyage in their berths fire.
quently escape seasickness, for the reason
that while person is lying down the blood
can flow into the brain more readily than
when he is in any other position.
Knowing the Immediate cause of sea-
sickness, we can be at no loss to know how
to treat it. Nothing can be clearer than
that the recent proposal to treat seasickness
by the exhibition of bromdes in strong
doses is all wrong. The plan of tying a
tight bandage around the waist is supported
by those who believe that seasickness is
due to the mechanical friction of one organ
against another. We now know that this
is untrue, but nevertheless the tight band.

Now that we know how to treat sea-sick-
ness half the terrors of sea voyage will
disappear. Instead of lying in his state
room or on the deck miserably sick, the
passenger will spend his first twenty-four
hours at breezy elevation above the deck,
and without single abdominal pang. True
his position may seem a little cramped and
tiresome, but this would soon wear off, and
his attention would be attracted and his
mind occupied by the novel spectacle of the
world when viewed from an upside down
position. That this treatment would pre-
vent seasickness there can not be the
shadow of doubt, especially when we recol-
lect that the bat, who spends half the year
upside down, has never been known in a
single instance to be seasick.-N. Y. Times.
