have on many occasions observed and
experienced the value of native herbs and
medicines. The mention of these to med

notice beyond an incredulous smile or

attack. The child's breath was fetid,
skin parched, lips and nose scanned and
bleeding. The gardener commenced by
smearing the child's body over with fresh
herbs pounded in goats milk, and then
wrapping him up in blanket watched
him the whole night. now and then reap
plying the herbs and carefully guarding
him against cold. The result of his treat
ment was that in twelve hours all the dan

child had complete ease, and there was no
relapse from rapid conyalescence. The
free rush of spots that came out soon
faded and disappeared. I could hardly
imagine that nature, unless aided by these
herbs, could work SO rapid change. AT
the same time it may be added that had
the government taken the home precau-
tion Of vaccination the treatment would
probably never have been needed.

Fees Of English Physicians.
[Chicago Tribune


Appropos of doctors, the English pro-
fessional journals have been telling Won
derfnl stories about the fees OF English
physicians. The Students Journal says
Sir Andrew Clarke makes over So, 900 q
year, which The Medical Journal says is
strictly true. Others add that DR.. Rel
cliffe used to make an average annual In
come of $35, 1000 year, and DR.. Baillie
$50, 900; that Sir Ashley Cooper took
$4,000 in single fee; that some other
doctor got So 900 for going to Pau from
London: that Catherine Ii of Russia paid
DR.. Dimsdale $50, 900 for vaccination.
The Paris Temps thinks all this
English boasting very immodest and un-
professional, and intimates that no French
doctor will allow such facts about his pc
cuniary gains to become known. 1t OBJ
serves, however, in order to give some
idea of what French doctors could reveal
if they chose that it is within its per-
sonal knowledge that Nelaton on one oc-
casion refused $50 900 to go 10 st. Peters
burg to perform very simple operation.

How Sleigh Bells Are Made.

IIJpuiaF SCIENCE A1ohllly.I
How many boys and girls know how
sleigh bells are made? The little iron ball
is too big to be put through the holes in
the bell, and yet it is inside. How did it
get there?
This little iroa ball Is called athe jing-
let. When you shake the sleigh bell it
iingles When the horse trots the bells
jingle, jingle, jingle. In making the bell
the jinglet is put inside a little ball of
mud, just the shape of the inside of the
bell. This mud ball, with the jinglet In
side, is placed in the mold of the outside,
and the metal is poured in; which fills
up the space between the ball and the
mold When the mold is taken off you
see sleigh bell, but it viii not ring, as it
is full Of dirt. The hot metal dries the
dirt that the bell is made Of, so 1t can be
shaken out. After the dirt is all shaken
out of the holes in the bell the little iron
jinglet win still be in the bell, and will
ring. It took a great many years to think
out how to make sleigh bell.

why Bismarck Admired FIeury.

Bismarck has nothing but contempt for
democracy. The stories that he Fixes are
those of men who have outwitted mobs.
During the seige of Paris while he was
at Versailles, pass was applied for by a
relative of M Cuvillier Fluery, the emf
nent critic and member of the French
academy. The chancellor at once gave
the pass, saying: M Fleury is an ad-
mfTable man. | know a capital story
about him. The story was this: III.
Fleury, who had been tutor to the Due
d Aunale, was in 1848 private Sec
retary to the duchess Of Orleans.
When the revolution of February
broke out, a rabble invaded the palais
royal, where the princess resided, and be.
gan smashing works of art. pictures. stat
hold was seized with panic except M.
Fleury, who, throwing off his-coat,
smeared his face and hands with coal,
caught up poker, and rushed among the
mob, shouting: @Hcre, I'll show you
where the best pictures are. So saying,
he piled his poker upon furniture of no
value, and, thus winning the confidence
of the roughs, was able to lead them out
OF the royal apartments into the kitchen
regions. where they spent their patriotic
fury upon the contents of larder and
cellar
The sequel of this story is very droll,
and Bismarck relates it with great relish.
A few days after he had saved the palais
royal, NJ. Ffeury was recog lied in the
street as the duchess of Orleans secre-
tary and mobbed He was being some

Origin of the Students Lamp.


Prominent as ornaments on st. Paul
parlor mantel stand couple of English
lamps, whose claims to relationship are
indisputable as their age. which is known
to reach 150 years. They are made of
hammered silver, and arc noted for that
prodigality of material our dear. dead
progenitors favored = probably because
the Comstock lode hadn't been discovered
and silver was regarded as worth taking
pains about.
The lady owner Of the lamps was asked
by a gentleman guest few evenings ago
if she had ever tried to use them as any
thing but ornaments. She replied, with
surprise: "Of course not. They wouldn't
burn. Tho gentleman made q close
examination, and, fired with desire for
discovery, took one of the lamps to the
dining-room, and with it student S lamp
of the ordinary German pattern. He took
both lamps apart and, as he suspected,
their plan was precisely similar The
feed, the wick arrangements, the reservoir
each and all correspondent The infer
ence is plain that the German who has
reaped so rich reward from his lamps
was an initiative Aladdin. He must have
seen enc of these early English fellows
and stolen his ideas bodily therefrom.

Reducing the Quantity.
IChicago Times !

A writer in one of the English technical
papers explains how cold air is the cause
OF smoke, and how care can reduce it.
He would draw the existing fire to The
front Of a CRATE and place the Goals behind
thus the fire in the front would burn more
rapidly, warm the air above, and SO pre-
pare the rising gases for combustion The
smoke is diminished, as the gases from
the Goals at the back rise much more
slowly than when placed upon the fire and
the air partly warmed. For stoves and
boilers, warm air may be produced for tlls
entire combustion Of all the gasses, re
suit that is beneficial in many ways.

Posture While Readlng.
lDr. Dudley S. REYNOLDS

The eyes can properly be used only
when the body is an erect position When
we stoop the face is flushed and the eye
bloodshot. Thus reading in recumbcnt
posture is r,linous to the eyesight. An
object should be held fourteen inches from
the eye for properly focalizing it We
should never look at the sun, better look
at the moon, Notwithstanding it has q SEN
timentalizing effect.

Dress of Greenland Maiden.

The following is by the late J. A.
acGahan, the lamented correspond
ent, whose remains have just been
brought from Europe to rest in his
native state, Ohio. 1t is descriptive of
the girls of Disko, a little Greenland
town: "This is the country for Mrs.
Bloomer; the women all wear trousers,
and would scout the idea of anything
else as absurd and probably indecent.
I should pity the girl who tried to in
troduce the fashion of petticoats in
Greenland. "Oh, the shameful hussy"
The brazen-facei thingp would be the
verdict of every Disko woman; and
Disko society would know her no more.
The Disko costume appears very funny
until you get used to it, but rather
pretty, nevertheless. The hair is done
up in kind of top-knot on the crown
of the head; loose fitting jacket, made
of any kind of light, thin stuff of any
color, trimmed with fur collar, reaches
to the waist; pair of seal-skin trous-
ers with the hairy side out descend
nearly to the knee, where they are con-
fined with garter; pair of top boots
meet the trousers at the knee, the feet
and ankles being of red leather, the up
per portion of white linen, trimmed with
fur around the tops Imagine pretty
girl dressed in this costume, with the
darkest, demurest eyes, and the sunniest
brown complexion ever painted by
sunshine, and sea-breeZes, and ocean
spray, and you have fair idea of
q. I L. -,
ping about la their little red boots,
that scarcely seem to touch the ground,
so soft is their tread, or springiDg over
the rocks like young antelopes, to know
how charming girl may be in boots and
breeches And they have the daintiest
little feet, too-feet and hands that
would make the prettiest American or
English girl burst with envy, SO finely
shaped, so small, so delicate, and yet
SO strong. My partner was demure
little beauty, with dark, slightly al
mond-shaped ewes, skin as brown as
that of the nut-brown maid herself, the
reddest, ripest lips, and the dalntlest
little feet that were ever seen. A great
er pleasure even than to encircle her
slender waist or to gaze into her dark
eyes was to watch her little red-booted
feet as they skinned over the ground
like the wings of sea bird over the
waves-a pleasure quite lost when you
dance with girl who wears petticoats.
The motion of dancing had caused her
boots to settle down leaving just above
the knee bit of the leg exposed which,
contrasted with che white stitched linen
tops of the boots, appeared as brown
as a walnut. This peculiarly of the
Disko girls is bit of coquetry by which
they probably indemnify themselves for
not wearing low-necked dresses. But
girl who should expose her bust as a
European lady does at ball or
theatre would be hooted out of the vii
lage."

Religious Pessimists at the Begin
ming of the Century.

A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script prints some extracts from the di-
airy of young parson in New England
from May to December, 1900, in which
he thus speaks of Jefferson:
Nav s, 1S00-It is said that this cleo
ton will bring Jefferson into the presi-
Dental chair. | do not believe that the
Most High will permit bowling atheist
to sit at the head of this nation.
July A, 1S00In the morning we had
news of the death of Mr.. Jefferson. 1t
is also to be hoped that 1t is true.
December q, 1800-It appears prob
able that Mr.. jefferson will be our
next president. | think [ never heard
so bad tidings, or anything which gave
me such shock.
Still worse was the utterance of Theo-
dore Dwight at New Haven, before the
Society of the Cincinnati, in July, 1901,
when he said, thinking of France and
applying his thoughts to America:
We have now reached the consumma-
ton of democratic blessedness. We
have a country governed by blockheads
and knaves. The ties of marriage with
all it's felicities severed and destroyed.
Our wives and our daughters are thrown
INTO the stews. Our children are cast
into the world from the breast, forgot
ten. Filial piety is extingushed, and
our sirnames, the only mark of distinc-
ton among families, are abolished.
Can the Imagination paint any thing
more horrible this side Of hell?

Love the Legitimate Object of Ro-
nance.

An armful of nause GUS. or silly, or
vulgar novels is as great an affection as
a number Of happy, and wholesome
stories are a delight. Love is the
legitimate object of romance. We are
no longer young; but novel without a
love story is an abomination to us.
Nevertheless, there are many other
things in life--a great many--besides
love, and he or she is poor practi-
toner who can do nothing but ring the
changes upon that one episode of exist
ence, whether in the form of the strictly
virtuous but highly unreasonable
quarrelings which keep two lovers
apart for two volumes, the misunder-
standings which any reasonable person
could clear up with half dozen words,
or in the more questionable shape of I'M
easy and hair breadth balancings upon
the edge of vice. We have a great
deal too much of this IN contemporary
fiction. Our brethren of the weekly
nress who lay down the law upon the
subject, and part of whose capital and
stock in trade, when they begin the ex-
ercise of their profession, is series of
short essays upon the female novelist,
would have us believe that she is the
sinner. and that the inherent vicious
ness which makes women desire to read
Greek and study medicine is at the
lotion of this degradation of the art
