The Eclectic.

Tho contents of the August number of the
Eclectic Magazine now before us are marked
by many excellent aud attractive papers on
variety of subjects. Prof. Sesley, one of
the leading English historians, leads with
an article entitled ''The Eighty-eigths, )" full
of suggestive comments on important epochs
in English history, subject specially sug-
gested by the tercentenary of the Destruc-
tion of the Spanish Armada. The well
known poet Louis Morris, is represented by
stirring ballad on the same interesting
theme Algernon Charles Swinburne con-
tributes paper on Mr.. Whristler's Art
Theories, written with his usual eloquent
facility. The discussion of the Sunday
Question by the Bishop of Ripon, upholds
the strictly religious view, yet with great
| temperance and fairness of statement. Or.
Aubrey's "Secial Problems in America" is a
thoughtful and able paper, which all Ameri-
cans will find stimulating and suggestive,
even where they fail to agree with the writer
One of the choicest articles recently pub.
lished in magazine literature is that by Prof
freeman, on the subject Glow to Grow
Great Men," and its direct application to
the United States specially heightens its
interests for our readers. In Christina
Bremner's study entitled ''Woman in the
Labor Market" the reader will find much tc
furnish food for reflection. Mr.. Meredith
Townsend gives his reasons for believing
that England's hold on India is much more
fragile than is generally supposed, and
marshals formidable array of facts. A
very pleasant and instructive sketch is thai
on Pasteur, by Mrs. Priestley; and another
entertaining paper is that by Herman Meri
vale on Dickens and Thackeray under the
title "About Two Great Novelis' s." Other
notable contributions are by William Morril
("The Revival of Architccture'') and by
Mrs. E. Lynn Linton ("French Political
Women') ]. A. Farrer, one of the mos
entertaining writer's for tho English period
cal press, writes about Schopenhauer, th'
German pessim'st and philosopher. Th'
poem entiled ''Siva" (Mors Janua Vita) is
striking piece of verse pregna MT with tn
greatest of all problems, and another strik
ing poem Is that by Michael Field on Mat
, thew Arnold, 'The Rest of the Immortals.
'eThe Gold Mines of Phrygia" is tellin
! short story, and there are several excellen
minor articles worthy OF attention,

Throat Ailments.

Few ailments are more common THAI sore
throats, yet they are largely preventable.
That is, they seldom come to one in vigor-
Gus health, except as the result of some
violation Of physical law.
The more simple form of sore throat is
commonly due to exposure to inclement
weather, but often indirectly to disturbed
stomach. In fact, it is not unfrequently
due to this cause alone. The person says he
has taken cold and wonders how he could
have done SO, while the truth is, he has not
taken cold at all. The stomach, 90 sophagus,
mouth, nose, ETC., are lined with mucous
membrane continuous through this whole
region, and the irritation begun in the
stomach is propagated over the whole
mucous surface. In all such cases the seat
of the trouble is the stomach, and accord.
ingly the efforts at cure, whether by medI-
cine, by diet, or by treatment, should be di.
rected to that organ.
Follicular tonsillitis is more serious form
of sore throat. 1t is perhaps due to an in.
fictitious element, but even this is generally
powerless where the physical condition Of
the person who is exposed to it is otherwise
good. Ia this case, too, the stomach may
be tue prime offender. More frequently the
disease comes to those whose physical con
dition is depressed by bad hygienic sur
roundings. There are feverish symptoms
| the tonsils are inflamed and swollen anC
covered more or less with small white rcu
lar spots. These may individually enlarge
so as to form patches somewhat resemblin,
the characteristic patches of dphtheria
which, however, is a skin-like membrane
while the patches in tonsillitis are merely al
exudation on the surface, which can b
wiped off. The case should nevertheless
always have the care of a physician. Some
times the tonsils become greatly inflam d
with tendency to abscess. 1t becomes dill
ficult to swallow, and, indeed, to open th
mouth. Behind the lower jaw painfr
swelling is observed. The difficulty ma
increase for several days, and then the il
dammation may go down, or, what is quit
as likely to happen, very painful ahsceI
may be formed, on the evacuation of whic
the symptoms subside. This is what is ofte
called quinsy.

Soap and tine Complexion,

Some women will not on any account use
soap when washing the faco, claiming that
1t has tendency to roughen the skin. This
is very true where the soap used is of an in.
ferior quslity, but If good soap is used
this objection is easily overcome. The best
soap for this purpose is the pure white Cas-
tile. Toilet soaps are not to be recommended,
for while there are some very good ones the
majority are unfit for use. Where there is a
tendency to eruptions the pure CASTLE soap
has a healing effect where most soaps will
aggrayate the trouble. When possible, use
soft water to wash in; but as around the
city this is impracticable, a few drops of
ammonia added to hard water will soften it
wonderfully.
Apropos of rain water for the skin, an
old lady friend of ours. who at the age Of
81 years had skin as soft as velvet, attributed
it to the constant use of rain water in wash
ing. Never use soap on the face during the
day, but just before retiring for the night
wash the face with soft cloth in warm
water, using the CASTLE soap literally. Rut
the lather we'll into the skin, then rinse of
with clear, warm water and wipe dry. In
the morning wash in warm water and wipe
dry, In the morning wash In warm yater
| to which has been added few drops of
ammonia. Use but very little ammonia,
fifteen drops to basin water is plenty, and
as some ammonia is stronger than others
do not use so much as to be disagreeable tc
the eyes, for aside from being annoying il
| will chafe the skin. For an oily skin there
is nothing like ammonia in the wash water

ISLANDER" is commonly understood to be
a false report affecting another's character,
uttered maliciously; yet, as matter of fact,
that slander which, as rule, does most
harm to reputation is not uttered maliciously,
but is spoken recklessly or thoughtlessly by
those who have no deliberate or ssionate
purpose Of evil in giving it currency. The
malicious utteraiice of slander is likely to
defeat its purpose by its very exhibit of
malice; whereas slanderis simply repeated
increasing scope andSexplcitness, as matter
of gossip or as an item of popular informs-
tion, often seems too natural to be wholly
fabrication, and it gradually gains credence
that properly Belongs to established truth.
1t is the 'they say" or "they all say" that
slips SO easily from the unmatched tongue,
and that enters SO freely the unguarded ear.
And there is never time, nor ever social
circle when and where there is not some foul
slander, concerning innocent and unsus-
pioious persons, which is passed from one to
another unthinkinglyS on the basis, or the
baselessness, Of this Indefinite osigin. lie
who consents to hear shch charge against
another without givingit challenge accords
his taoit approval to slander. He who
consents to pass such a charge along as
something which he has heard aud has not
challenged becomes himself slander-mon-
ger, if not indeed willful slsnderer. He,
on the other hand, who challenges any such
slander, and who rebukes its utterer, is so
far an upright man and public benefactor.
Lot no person utter SANDER in your hear
ing unrebuked by you. Hive care not to
be slanderer by repeating charge affect

such proof of its correctness as would justify
you in repeating it boldly to its subjects

The Century Magazine.

TheC Century keeps upit custom of making
the August "Midsummer Holiday Num-
ber." The points OF novelty in this number
are the beginning of an ingeniously planned
story in three parts by Thomas A. Janvier,
author of the "Ivory Black" stories, and an
astronomical series by Professor Holden of
the Lick University. Mr.. Janvier's new
serial is called ga Mexican Campaign" 1t
need hardly be said that this is not new
War Series, although the chapters of the
first part are named "The Mobilization of
the Troops" "The Farley Under False
Colors," and "The Skirmish at Buena
Vista" Professor Holden will publish two
articles on Sidereal Astronomy, old and new.
The one now given briefly chronicles the
data which astronomy has collected up to
date; it tells of the methods of naming the
stars, their number, the star charts, cata-
logues, etc. The articles are appropriate to
| the star-gaaing season.

The b. 81 o. to Push Its Extension.

1t has been sdetermiued by the Baltimore
and Ohio authorities to immedi ately com-
plete the connection between their Philadel-
phia extension and Staten Island. This will
be done by making available the ninety-nine-
year trackage contract which exists with
the Reading and New Jersey Central. First
Vice-P President Orlando Smith and Messrs.
Clements and Douglass, the general manager
and chief engineer, have just completed a
careful inspection of the proposed terminals
in New York Harbor, on Staten Island, and
have determined to add considerable property
to the existing water front controlled by the
Staten Island Company. Engineers under
Charles Ackenheil are now engaged in To-
eating the route from Roselle, on the New
Jersey Central, to the bridge over Arthur
Kill, with which structure the connection on
the Staten Island will be completed by the

An Elegant Passenger Station.

The new passenger station of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, at corner of Chest
nut and Twenty-fourth streets, Philadelphia,
has more conveniences and is finer in its ap-
pointments than any other passenger station
in the country. All Baltimore and Ohio
trains, both local and through, arrive at and
depart from this station. There are two
through trains daily to Cincinnati, S.. l. 1uis
and Chicago, all equipped with Pullman s
palace sleeping cars. Two trains daily fol
Pittsburg, with parlor car service on day
train and through Pullman sleeper on mig bit
train. There is also parlor and sleeping car
servipe TO Deer Park and Oakland, the
famous Allegheny Mountain resorts, and
parlor car service to the resorts in the Vir
ginia Valley. Twenty trains day TO Ches
ter and seventeen to Wilmington are dis
patched from this station.

Mr.. Edward L. Rice is engaged In per-
fecting plans and specifi cations of the pro-
posed buildings and at an early date Hazel
Dell will be all aglow in preparing for the

struotlon of tho necessary buildings. The
main exhibition building will be constructed
with especial view to adaptabiity and the
grand stand will have seating capacity of
three thousand.

A Few Thoughts Upon the Tenn
perance Question.
DY a MEMBER OF THE DELAWARE
GRANGE.


The great Temperance movement
is pressing onward to its final triumph
and is agitating and engaging the
minds of the best people all over
the land; especially the women. ]
have heard ii repeated that this the
nineteenth century is Woman's Cen
tury. But we need help, and assis-
tance to put down the evil which is
destroying the happiness and blight
ing the lives Of SO many thousand
every year. The contest is to be one
of the most earnest and determined
the world has ever witnessed.
As James Black says: "This traffic
in strong drink prevailing in our
land, can not be overthrown until the
christian people are taught the duty
of using their political influence, as
they have been taught to use their
moral influence for its overthrow"
For forty years, we have been educa-
ting the people in the moral, and re-
ligious aspects of this question, and
to-day we can see that we have re-
allied very great success. Our moral
convictions upon this subject are
clear; our convictions of civil duty
concerning drink must be made
equally clear. ..-.

Wholesale Abuses.

nnrants' PeriIs-How DeformltIss Arise:
Wholesale Abuses.
Who does not know that the suferipgs,
peril and short life of our infants is largely
due to ignorance on the part of mothers OF
tho common laws VIII ch govern development,
and secure healthful activity in life-and yet
the rulesfare few, simple and easy of appli-
oation-as operssclothng, loosely worn and
moderate in length; proper food, taken at
regular intervals (which for months should
be mothers milk only, where the supply is
sufficient and quality good); abundant sleep;
freedom from nervous excitement, too often
brought about by senseless endeavors to show
off the brightness or cunning ways of the
| child; proper care taking at-the periods of
teething, learning to walk, etc.
| How few realize that deformities arise
from encouraging child to walk before the
| bony structures are sufficiently hardened,
and from allowing it to sit too continuously
while the bones are more cartilaginous than
osseous. Especially may this habit prove
disastrous to female children, from the fact
that the diameter of the pelyis may be 80
much changed by continued pressure of the
superintendent weight of the trunk of the
body and head upon it that in after life ma
ternity may prove not only extra hazardous,
but, perchance, impossible-to say nothing
of the risk of producing spinal curvatures
and chest deformities in either sex. Fresh
air and opportunity for voluntary exercise
of the limbs are in the province of every
mother to give, but are they regularly ac-
corded by majority?
Use of drugs should be sedulously avoided,
and yet there are mothers, countless in num-
Der, who, through ignorance, ply the
stomachs of their babes continuously, moi
with the old time catnip and mint teas only
but with vile nostrums, which, under the
seductive titles of soothing syrups and car
minatives, carry blunted sensibilities, dull
ness, and ofttimes the germs of imbecility
and even death itself, in their train. Pool
babes! must they ever fill the role of vic
Tins? l fear, yes, till such time as womer
rouse from their iethargic mental condition
and shake off the shackles of ignorance
through which these wholesale abuses re
main possible. Experience and observation
alike point to the facts that most of the suf
fering incident to the period of early woman
hood and its flxation (all too frequently 70
life) is due to the neglect Of mothers, VIII
allow their daughters to enter upon the mos
important period of their lives, wholly unac
quainted with the nature of the change
which ale taking plsce IN the economy, AM
the necessity for care taking which grow
out of them, and this neglect applies almos

Mr.. Wilson was most important factor,
