A Do, with a Mercantile Turn.

l was sitting one day in front Of a shop
in the old Etruscan city of Ferentino.
Presently an iIl-bred dog of the pointer
kind came and sat down in front of me,
looking up in my face and wagging his
tail to attract my attention. =" What
does that dog want?" 1 asked. "Sig-
nore," he answered, "he wants you to
give him a soldo to go and buy you a
cigar with" gave the dog the coin,
and he presently returned, bringing a
cigar, which he held crossways in his
mouth until took it from him. Sent
again and again. he brought me three or
four more cigars from the tobacco shop. At
length the dogs demeanor changed, and
he gave vent to his impatience by two o.
three low whines. "What does he want
now?" | asked. ''He wants you to give
him two-soldo to 60 to the bakers and
buy bread for himself" gave him a
two soldo piece, and in a few minutes
the dog returned with small loaf of
bread, which he laid it at my feet, at the
same time gazing wistfully in my face.
"He won't take it until you give him
leave" l gave the requisite permission,
and the animal seized the loaf and disap-
peared with it in his mouth. ''He always
does like this" said the ISLANDERS by,
whenever he sees stranger in Feren-

A Golden Senate.

It is a wonder to those who are famil
lar with the relative value of the public
places of Washington. says letter from
the National capital, that any Senator
should think for moment of giving up
his position there to go into anybody's s
cabinet. A United States Senator in
good standing has as desirable place
as there is in politics. He wields great
power, and on account of the length Of
his term has great independence Then,
too. States have grown into the habit OF
continuing their Senators where they
manifest any aptitude, SO that the man
who reaches that body and is at all
good manager has reasonable certainty
Of staying there long time. Then the
increase of rich members in the Senate
has given that body social prestige
which generally follows in the wake of
the consolidation of great wealth.
The money actually represented upon
the floor of the Senate by ownership and
outside relations of nearly as close a
character would run very high in the
hundreds of millions. I do not think
that it is too much to say that five hun
dred millions in the way of private in
terests are represented directly upon the
floor of the Senate to-day.

The Capture Of New Orleans.

From the Century we quote the follow
ing from the paper by George w. Cable,
on 'New Orleans Before the Capture"
''What a gathering! The riff-raf of the
wharves, the town, the cutters. Such
women-such wrecks of women! And
all the Juvenile rag tag. The lower
steamboat landing, we'll covered with
sugar, rice and molasses, was being rit1ed.
The men smashed; the women scooped
up the smashing. The river was over
flowing the top of the levee. A rain
storm began to threaten. Are the Yankee
ships in sights?' | asked an id er He
pointed out the tops of their naked masts
as they showed up across the huge bend
of the river. They were engaging the
batteries at Camp Cl.alme.te old

that was over All, me! see them now
as they come slowly around Slaughter

heavy with deadly portent; the long
banished stars and stripes flying against

sippi! the Mississippi Just then here
she came down upon them. But howl
Drifting helplessly, mass of flames.
"The crowds on the levee howled
and screamed with rage. The swarm
ing decks answered never word; but
one old tar on the Hartford, standing
with lanyard in hand beside great
pivot gun, SO plain to view that you
could see him smile. silently patted its
big black breech and blandly grinned.
'And now the rain came down in
sheets. About one or two o'lock in the
afternoon Gas remember), being again
in the store with but one door aiar,
came a roar of shoutings and impreca-
tions and crowding feet down Common
street. 'Hurrah for jeff Davis! Hur-
rah for jeff Davis! Shoot them! Kill
them! Hang them l locked the door
on the outside. and ran to the front of
the mob, bawlins with the rest, 'Hurrah

there had weapon out. Two officers
of the United Stetes navy were walking
| abreast, unguarde and alone looking
not to right or left, never frowning,
never finching, while the mob screamed
in their ears, shook cooked pistols in
their faces, cursed and crowded and
gnashed upon them. SO through the
gates of death these two men walked to
the city hall to demand the towns sur
render. 1t was one of the bravest deeds
l ever saw done.
'Later events, except one, l leave to
other pens. An officer from the fleet
stood on the city hall roof about to lower
the flag of Louisiana. In the street be-
meath cleaned the bayoncts of body of
marines. A howitzer pointed up and
another down the street. All around
swarmed the mob. Just then Mayor
Monroc-lest the officer above should be
fired upon and the howitzers open upon
the crowd-came out alone and stood
just before one of the howitzers, tall,
slender, with folded arms, eying the gun
ner. Down sank the flag. Captain Bell,
tall and stiff, marched off with the flag
rolled under his arm, and the howitzcrs
clanking behind. Then cheer after

Hot Water in Dyspepsia.

The internal use of hot water in vari
Gus ailments, but especially in dyspepsia,
is exciting good deal of interest, both
among the people and among physicians.
We are personally acquainted with cases
of signal cure by it, where the indivi-
duals had long suffered without help
from other remedies. Most of our med
ical journals including the London Lan-
Get, have had articles on the subject. Dr.
T. w. Sheardown gives, in the New York
lNeaical Record, his own experience with
it. We give the substance of what he
says.
He had always enjoyed robust health,
never having needed medicine except
once when he was a boy. In August,
1888, however, he was prostrated to the
verge of Inconsistencies by sunstroke.
With this began trouble with his diges-
tion There was no pain, no acidity, but
an uncomfortable feeling which ended
in the election of his food from his
stomach, and yet without nausea.
This continued for three months.
Meanwhile, he faithfully tried nearly all
the approved remedies or methods of
treatment, and regulated and restricted
his diet. He had ravenous appetite,
and invariably rose from the table
hungry. He could, by the full exertion
of his will power, resist for while the
tendency to vomit, but apparently with
no benefit. He lost some fifty pounds in
weight, and became very nervous, lrres-
olute, despondent and weak.
Having seen the article in the Lancet
on the use of hot water, he resolved to
try the treatment. Before rising in the
morning he had his servant bring him
pint of boiling water. This, so hot that
he could not touch his lips to. he drank,
drawing it through a tube during the
space of twelve minutes.
He lay in bed one and half hours
longer, and then took his breakfast and
retained it on his stomach with no un-
pleasant feeling. He did the same one
and half hours before dinner and sup
per, and half hour before retiring.
This course ne continued until Christ
mas, using no other fluid whatever. The
vomiting was wholly arrested from the
very first. For the next nine months he
used the hot water less regularly, with
occasional return of the vomiting. A
subsequent change OF climate helped to
complete his cure and to do without the
water. He has since used it in his own
practice, with excellent results every
time the treatment was persevered H.

THE HOME DOCTOR.


In slight bruises, and those that ara
not likely to be followed by infamma-
tion, nothing more is usually required
than to bathc the part with spirits, as
cologne, brandy, ETC., mixed with an
equal proportion of vinegar and water.
In more severe cases, and where the ac-
cident is near an important part, as the
eye. or any of the joints, it becomes
desirable object to prevent the approach
Of inflammation. For this purpose
leeches must be employed, repeating
them according to circumstances If
considerable fever be present, bleeding
from the arm, purgative and low diet
may become necessary. In the last stage
of bruise: where there is merelya want
of tone in the parts, and swelling from
the effused blood, etc., friction should
be employed either simply or with any
common liniment. Wearing bandage,
pumping cold water on tie part, sue
ceeded by warm friction, saturated
solution of common salt in water, have
each been found successful. l.-Heolth and

Silencing a Rooster.

An amusing story is told of Dr.. Cyrus
Edison, of the health board, which has
as yet never appeared in print. 1t was
during his service as an undergraduate,
and before his father, ex- Mayor Edison,
had been raised to the chief office in the
municipality that the episode referred to
occurred. The family resided at the
time at Fordham Heights, and to GER
tain extent enjoyed the advantages of
rural living. That is, they would have
enjoyed it had it not been for the pride
of the barnyard of near neighbor. This
rooster had the i'll manners and bad grace
to disturb the matutinal slumhers of the
Edison family every day. With the iirst
streak of dawn he would hop down from
his perch on an old soap-box and crow
until the very hills llsreverberated the sound.
DR.. Edison and other members of the
family expended lung power, old boots,
soap-dishes, and other pieces of portable
bedroom furniture in their efforts to 81
lence the feathered fend until they were
well nigh exhausted Then Mayor Edison
tried to buy the precious bird, but the
neighborly neighbor would not sell him.
Finally the young disciple of Esculapius
determined that through him should the
morning he arose just before daybreak,
and gliding cautiously down into his
neighbor's backyard, he succeeded, by
the Establishments of voice and the lib
eral use of sweet corn, in getting his
hands on the rooster. This done the rest
was easy. Taking his dissecting case
from his pocket, he selected keen-edged
scalpel and tweezers, and holding the
bird between his knees, sought the ami
mails throat. Taking up the vocal cords
with the tweezers, it was but the work
of an instant to sever them and let the
rooster go.
That day and ever after the sleep of
the Edsons were undisturbed. Young
Cyrus, however, lost more rest than for
merly. He could not resist the tempta-
ton every morning thereafter of getting
up and watching the disabled bird as it
flew from its perch to the top of the
fence, and Tapping its wings, tried to
crow. For him it was better than cir

and brocade skirts. The pointed waist
| is high in the back of the neck and

Black satin slippers with very high

white lace, but of net and crepe in poppy

With and Without Animal Spirits.

was nearly so as to the uses of practical
female life. She was tired, spent much
time i'll bed or on the lounge, and unfit
to be married. And the mother was
about to commence a treatment with
the child which would have resulted
likewise. There are nations and
families. how fortunate, that have es-

| girls must be murdered, and death take
their place in obedience to social be-

once said to the writer: 'In Europe |

girls; they ride, they row, they swing,
in connection with study or the pursui t

Origin of Carriages.

The oldest carriages. used by the ladies
of England, were called whirlicotes,
These became questionable after Ann,
the daughter of Charles w., and queen
of Richard H., about the end of the four
teerth century, showed the lacies how
gracefully they could ride on side sad
die. Coaches were first known in Eng
land in the year 1880. They were intro
duced from Germany by the Earl of
Arundel They came into general use
among the nobility in the year 1905.
The celebrated Duke of Buckingham
was the first who rode in coach and
six horses; to lidicule this pomp the
Earl of Northumberland put eight horses
to his carriage Coaches let to hire were
first established in London in 1925.
There were only twenty of them kept at
the principal inns. In the year 1857
there were fifty hackney caaches; in 1854
there were two hundred; in 1894 they
were limited to seven hundred and in
1855 to eight hundred; there are now
eleven hundred.
