Scarlet Fever Treatment.

This treatment the author has been
using now for several years. and the
article embraces an experience of near
ly 800 cases. No case has been fatal;
only three cases OF albuminuria have
occurred, only one of glandular sup
puration. and none of aural or nasal
complications; none Of secondary fever
or cardiac disease. A rapidity of re-
covery in severe cases not before seen
has been obtained. He administers
carbolic acid. liquilied by the addition
of 10 per cent. of water freely diluted
in syrup of orange peel and water. To
be efficacious it must be given early in
tho disease, at short intervals, and in
full doses. Three minims of the acid
are given to children every two hours
day and night for the first three days;
after that tho interval may be length

TWO WOMEN DID THIS.

And Doubtless Two or Three Hum
dred Men Did the Heavy Looking On.
The society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty TO Animals numbers among its
members Miss Eva Ingersoll. the
daughter of Robert G. Ingersoll, says
The NeW York Sun. From the window
of her fathers residence, 400 Fifth
avenue. the other day she saw the
driver of u garbage cart beating his
horse over the head with barrel hoop,
which had a nail in it. The animal
was old and lame. and his body was
covered with sores. She ran out and
entroated the man to desist, but he con.
tinued 10 thrash the horse. Think no
that if she showed him her member
ship certificate from the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
the driver would DO scared she ran into
the house, brought the document out
again insisted that he should stop
beating the horse. The man, whose
name was David Muhle, laughed in the
young lady's face. Then Miss niger
soil seized the horses bride. at the
same time calling the attention of Mrs.
Wallace. another member of the Socie-
ty for the Prevention of Cruelty TO
Animals, to the situation. She
promptly came TO the brave girls as
sistance. and the ladies stopped the
wagon at Thirty-second street and
Fifth avenue. Then Muhle began fog
ging the horse again, making him
fairly drag the ladies along. and threat
ened to strike them if they did not let
60 the bride.
For six books the driver swore at
the horse and the women before a
man was found gallant enough to as
sumo the responsibility OF stopping it.
He was A. B. Gillingham, of S54 West
Twenty-second street. Relieving the
ladies of their task he embarrassed the
horse and paid man to take him back
to the S. P. c. A. stable on Twenty
second street. Muhle had escaped
in the crowd that collected and had
crossed the river to New Jersey. but
it was learned that he was driving the
garbage wagon for a man named
Christian Altifiex. of Weehawken.
Young Gillingham went straight to
Jefferson market court and swore out
the warrant upon which Muhle was
arrested. Muhlc was recognized by
the officers of the S. p c. A. as a man
they had arrested in January OH Fifth
avenue for beating an old gray horse.
He was taken to Jefferson market

The Cigarette Evil.

A great many people are disposed to
laugh at the cigarette as weak imita-
ton of a cigar, and on indulgence in
cigarette smoking as something too
trivial for sober talk. The fact is
brought out. however. by the recent
discuss .ons in the United States senate,
that cigarette smoking is "a very great

Another curiosity OF the sort Is the ''cocoanut

pear-shaped, while the appearance is that Of

the stones are as large as cherries and as
hard as feldspar or opal. They are very
rare and are regarded as precious stones by
the Orientals, aud as charms against disease
or evil spirits by the natives Stones of this
kind are sometimes found 10 the pomegran-
