A GuttePal Howl.

To the Editor of THE HERALD.
Two years ago, the resident tax
payers on Second East Street, between
Seventh and Eighth South Streets, pc
titioned the City Council to grade our
block, as the Supervisor had just fin
ished the street down to Seventh South :,
and for some unknown reason, our SOL
itary block was left weltering in slush.
The committee on streets and alleys
kindly investigated the matter, and
seeing the wretched condition of our
street, reported fayora bly, upon our pc
tition, and great many hearts were
made happy. The Supervisor was
ordered TO grade the street at
once, and last summer our
efforts were rewarded by having a
lot of cobble stones, most OF them being
AS large as a mans head, dumped in
tie middle OF the street, on part OF
the block, and the result is that we are
low worse off than ever. To make
matters worse, contrary to the city
ordinance, some of our enterprising
neighbors have turned the siJewalk
into a road for their vehicles, and that
is now in nearly as bad condition as
the street,
Hoping that the supervisor may be
induced to turn his attention once
more to the Wrefched condition OF our
street, make this complaint.

CURE FOR GARGET.
A Simple Treatment Which Is Said t
PQsaeSa Great Merit.

A Simple Treatment Which Is Said to
Ill.,. Possess Great Merit. g..
Our experience with garget has been
that it is not an obstinate trouble to
treat. Quickly yielding, if the right
remedies are applied at the nighttime,
our remedy, which we consider infal-
lible, is to take piece of strong cloth
about one and three-quarter, yards
long by three-quarters wide. Tie a
strong knot in each corner Then just
back of each knot, tie strong cord
two or three yards in length. This is
to be fastened on lengthwise of cloth
by placing one end we'll front of the
udder, bringing cords up over the back
and tying, the other end of the cloth is
carried through between hind legs
pretty well up the escutcheon, the
cords carried between the hip bones,
and so on to the other cords where
they are all fastened together. This is
for holding cloths, wrung out of water
as hot as the hands can bear, and APP
piled to the parts affected. AS soon as
they begin to cool, wiring them again,
and do not stop until the swelling goes
down and the parts soften. 1t may be
twelve hours, and sometimes longer.
And in no instance neglect keeping the
quarter milkcd out. No matter how
little, or of what condition the fluid
may be, do not let the quarter become
dry if possible to avoid it. AS soon as
the hot applications are discarded
make an ointment as follows, and use
twice daily until all Jumps disappear
and the milk has regained its natural
state: 1odide of potassium, 2 dr.;
tincture of iodine, 2 dr.; lard, l or

Danger in Public Towels.

perspiration from the pores, mucus

l, for one, never thought why the
large glass that holds our milk or water
was called a tumbler until, once upon
a time, I happened to have luncheon
at All-Souls' College, Oxford. ALL
Souls is a curious college. It has no
students or "under- graduates, as we
call them in England. 1t consists of a
master and a number of @'fellows''-
men who have taken their degrees and
have distinguished themselves as schol-
ars. There is quaint old rule in
Latin that says a man, to be fellow OF
All-Souls'. mnst be ''weal born, well
dressed, and moderately good docror
in singing" There is no question
nowadays of singing! But of good
breeding and good scholarship there is.
And to be elected fellow of All-Souls'
is great honor:
One of the most distinguished fel.
lows is Prot. Max Muller, the great
philologist, who, though he is a Ger
man by birth and was not educated al
Oxford, was elected to All-Soul's as a
mark OF respect for his immense learn.

full place, with its great fireplace and
its walls all wainscoated with black
oak, while through the great window,
with its heavy stone mullions, you look
out on to ancient ivy-grown buildings
round a quiet court which is filled with
space of velvet turf. On the day of
which speak, Prof. Max Muller was
giving luncheon in this splendid room
to the charming and talented Princess
Alice, the wife of the Grand Duke OF
Hesse Darnstadt, and second daughter
of Queen Victoria. There were not a
dozen guests besides the Princess and
her husband, and a ve1y agreeable lun-
cheon we had, with pleasant talk on all
kinds of interesting subjects.
But what excited the curiosity of all
the strangers present was set of the
most attractive little round bowls OF
ancient silver, about the size of large
orange. They were brought round,
according to the custom of the place.
filled to the brim with tho famous ale
brewed in the college. These, we were
told, were tunblers. and we were
speedily shown how they came by their
names-a fitting lesson for the guests
of a philologist! When one of these
little bowls was empty it was placed
upon the table mouth downward. In
stantly, so perfect was its balance, it
few back into its proper position, as il
asking to be filed again. No matter
how it was treated, trundled along the
floor, balanced carefully on its side,
dropped suddenly upon the soft, thick
carpet, up it rolled again and settled
itself with a few gentle shakings and
swaying into its place, like one of those
India rubber tumbling dolls your baby
brothers and sisters delight in. This,
then was the origin of our word tum-
bier, at first made of silver, as are these
All-Souls' tumblers. Then, when glass
became common, the round glasses
that stood on Hat base superseded the
exquisitely balanced silver spheres and
stole their names SO successfully that
you have to go to All-Souls' and a few
other old houses to see the real thing.
