Acute Rheumatism of the Joints.


For external applications in acute articu-
lar rheumatism, Journal OF Health regards
mustard poultioes as the most e6aeacious.
The use of these should be commenced at
once, as soon as tho joints become painful.
II only small number are affected. poul-
tices can be applied 10 each simultaneously,
or in succession until all are treated When
new joints become involved, renewed sppl-
cations are demanded; in fact, the disease
should be chased from one affected portion
10 another The poultices may 10 applied
twice daily, and after.thsir use the inflaned
joints should be wrapped in dry cotton WOOL
and then bandsged neatly and lightly with
flannel Some authors claim that these
coverings are useless, but all who have suf-
fered from the disease can testify that ex-
posure Of the joints, even to the warm air Of
the sick room, aggrayates the pain

also agreed to pay s. a week for its use. As he
expects TO remain in New York
TOT a considerable period he Will
have contributed largely of Its entire cost before
ne returns 1t. The practice of renting baby
carriages has come to be general among
the largest dealers. 1t is very profitable. New
York has a floating population-persons visiting
the city for a few days or weeks. and they are
the principal customers. Families that come TO
New York and purchased large quantities OF
furniture got into the habit of borrowing baby
carriages while they remained in the city, and
did not pay anything for them. The dealers
would not have objected to this had the custom
ers been content with ordinary carriages, but they
were not. The best in the market were hardly
good enough for the little dsrlings. and they
were always returned more or less damaged.
When the practice of renting carriages began
the dealers looked upon it as a necessary evil.
They were pleasantly surprised when il turned
out a source of profit Beside these transient
hotel customers there is another class, whose
existence reveals a peculiar and rather pathetic
phase OF metropolitan life. 1t is composed OF
the children Of New York parents grown up and
become parents themselves. When Mary
married Mr.. Jones, OF Chicago. and went there
tn live the old folks did rot expect TO see her
right away again. but then Mary, jr, came into
existence, and as grandpa and grandma were
getting too old to travel, Mary and little Mary
came TO New York as soon as they conveniently
could. The visit was a long one. The old folks
had long ago taken leave of the baby carriage in
which Mary had been trundled about. or else 1t
was too old fashioned and clumsy for Mary No.
2 and so a new one mad to be rented. The num-
Der of such customers is surprisingly large aud
continually growing. The dealers now have q
certain number of carriages set aside for
renting. They charge from fifteen cents
to seventy-hve cents a day for their
use. That is sufficient to pay for the vehicles 10
a short time. 1t Is more difficult TO please GUS
toners who want to rent carriages, however,
than those who buy outright. Mothers are
afraid that some contagious disease may Turk in
a carriage used by some other baby. To some
extent this fear is justified. Dealers cannot in
Quire whether a baby is sick, and would not be
likely to learn the truth if they did. In fact, it
has sometimes happened that residents, whose
children were suffering with contagious dis
eases, would hire carriages during the time they
were sick, and return them when they recov-
cred, thus keeping their own carriages free from
Impurities. CLARA BELLE.

THE OLD PURITAN SPIRIT.

Maine Letter. in Baltimore Sun.
A very intelligent citizen of Portland, q strong
Republican, and a New Highlander by birth, said
to me to-day that ne believed the old Puritan
spirit was dying out. and that this section was
no longer equal 10 leading in a great national
crisis or emergency. He said that Maine had
never really recovered from the war. which had
cost the lives of many Of her young men. and
