The Georgian Slave Market.

The Georglans claim o very early
Christianity. I think from the time of
the earliest Christian emperors, when
it was Roman province. They are a
tine-looking race of men, very fair,
straight and slender. They hate the
Armenians, call them thieves, etc.
They are themselves very improvident,
save nothing, are heavily mortgaged to
the Arnienians, and hate them accord
ingly. I have seen nothing yet to
justify the reputation of the women for
great beauty. A peep in Constanti-
nople under a Turkish yashmak and
youthful ardor and Imagination have
done more, I suspect, for their great
reputation than nature has DONE A
dark eye and d white forehead seen
from behind veil enable fervent
Imagination to fashion beauty which
o fully revealed face would not bear
out. The Russians have struggled
hard to stop the trade in girls for the
Turkish harem, but an intelligent
Georgian told me it was still carried on
to limited extent, but insisted it ex-
listed only upon the mountains near the
Black Sea, and not in his part of the
country. But after all does the thing
really do harm? A handsome girl is
sold to d Turl-she becomes his wife
and her parents in their old age have
some comforts. Left here she and they
live like pigs in a sty. The girls, am
told, do not go as unwilling slaves, or
at least not more so than many a
beauty that you and know of at home,
who march grandly up the church aisle
to the wedding march smothered in
orange blossoms and lace, and are
given by prudent paterfamilias to some
rich roue or half-made-up Dives. It
is not in Georgia and Circassia alone
that warm young hearts are turned to
stone for the sweet privilege of tread
ing upon soft Turkish carpets and sip
ping tea in egg-shell china and eating
from silver plate. Kings and emperors
would suppress the selling of slave
girls, and yet their own wives, daughters
and sisters are or were made princely
merchandise. Not far from the Baltic
there are royal studs were princessss
right royalty sold. The thing is CALI
state alliances. Following these are
those shining examples for common
folk to follow, suchas Milans platonic
firtations with actresses, crown prin-
cesses drinking many waters while their
husbands dissipate in pastures green,
and imperial mcrganatic widows the
leaders at Nice. ETC., etc. Bah! the
slave trade Z girls has been partially
suppressed under these grand noun
tains, but it is still rife in rrincely
palaces in Belgravia and possibly III
fashionable American society, and is
of beastly character in London pl1r-

How the French Once Sacrificed Their
ShOebuckleS.

During the revolution this Marquis
de la Villette was the author of brill
liant idea. In 1889 France raised, as it
were, an altar to national bankruptcy,
and the people were seized with an ep-
idemic of patriotic offerings, "dons
pntriotiqqtes," which were sent from
all parts of the country to the National
Assembly. One day the Marquis de
la Villette brought all his own silver
shoebuckles and all those OF his house
hold, threaded on string. The idea
was taken up and spread like wildfire,
and statistician OF the time calculat-
ed that the silver shoebuckles of the
citizen-soldiers of Paris alone would
bring into the National Treasury 6OO.-
600 livrss, and the silver buckles of
the whole French nation forty million
ivres. Henceforward, until the Mus
cadins and Madame Tallien revived
luxury, every Frenchman sacrificed his
silver shoebuckles, and wore brass
buckles "a la nation." The "do1as
patriotiques" led the women of France
to strip themselves of their Jewels and
diamonds and valuable ornaments; sill
yer candlesticks and silver plate were
sent to the mint to be melted; the King
gave his fine gold plate, chiseled by
German; the handles Of the Kings
table knives produced a nugget of 2s1
mares of silver; mobiles, abbots, civil
communities, seamstresses, coffee house
keepers, fencing masters. the actors of
the Coincide Franchise, all offered their
valuables on the altar of national bank
ruptcy, and had their names printed in
the Thanksgiving lists of the National
Assembly. The melting-pot was full
for months, and thousands of the mas
terpieces of the gold and silver smiths
Of the, eighteenth century We're thus
lost forever. Stripped by their own
patriotic initiative Of their jewelry, the
women henceforward wore ornaments
of Spartan simplicity, souvenirs OF the
great days Of the struggle for freedom

rings "a la Bastille," civic and national
marriage rings enameled with red,

Nature and Treatment OF relons,

Tha so-callfd felon is an acute iM~
fiammation of the sheaths of the ten
dons or of the coverings of the bone.
Tt is accompanied with very severe
throbbing pain, great tenderness, and
often much constitutional disturbance,
as indicated by fever and rapid pulse.
This affection is not only very dis
tressing, but is also attended with some
danger. In persons debilitated and
sickly death has been known to result
from poisonous absorption. The skin
covering the fingers is very thick, SO
also are the deeper coverings, especially
that which envelopes the bone. When
pus forms it finds On opening upward
difficult, and therefore burrows back
toward the hand. AS the inflammation!
extends, the danger becomes intensi-
fed. The abscess, if not checked, some-l
times proceeds up the wrist, and even
to the elbow. In the meantime the
suferings are terrible, the parts are
enormously swollen, and the skim
seems bursting. If a knife is not used
to make free incisions along the track
of the disease the pus will probably at
last struggle to the skin and discharged
itself; hut before doing so the muscles
will be broken down, honeycombed.
and, to q considerable extent, destroyed.
Partial death of the affected bone isl
not uncommon.
A felon is easily recognized; none
are so ignorant they cannot detect it
in the early stage. While yet confined
to the end Of the finger, if it appears
there, the sufferer, without waiting to
test the efficacy Of his neighbor's wlims,s
and the virtues of "sure cures" should
at once place himself in the care of a
physician. If he is competent the fact
will be readily apparent, for he will,1
even before there is much swelling, in
sist upon opening the abscess without
delay. If the physician urges this
treatment, and the patient, through
fear OF the knife, declines, then the
latter assumes all responsibility, and
for what may happen subsequently can
blame no one but himself. Ii, on the
other hand, the medical attendant does
not insist upon making an opening to-
admit of free discharge of pus which,
may have formed, OF which there Isl
reason to believe will form, then he isl
liable for any misfortune dependent on
the burrowing OF the pus, for he has
clearly and Enthusiastically failed,
through ignorance or neglect, to per-
form his duty to his patient.-.Joat,7aal
