Give the Children a Garden.

Wick says, and he ought to know,
that each child ought to have his or
her separate plat of ground, and
plenty of latitude given the young
amateurs in its management and
culture.
e Nothing strengthens a weak, timid
child SO much as placing him in a
position of responsibility. Let him
know and feel that much, if not all,
depends upon himself This, l take
it, is lesson which all must learn,
and the sooner the teaching is begun
the better. The greatest minds have
often been associated with timid ma
lures. Newton, we are told, almost
shrank from the publication of his
great work because he hated con-
troversy. A children's garden need
not incur much expense.

Treating Trees with Sulphur.

Professor Riley pronounces as fall
lacious the idea that insects may be
driven from trees by boring holes
through the bark into the wood, plac-
ing sulphur therein and plugging the
hole. The belief in their efficacy,
he says, is founded on the suppose
ton that the poison passes with the
sap into general circulation and with
it into the foliage, and is destruc-
tive to leaf feeding insects. 1t is an
entirely unfounded idea is based up
in the circulation. Instances where
it has seemed to succeed have been
recorded, and in such cases its ap-
parent efficacy was due to a coinci-
dent disappearance of the insect
from some other cause.

Latin Prescriptions.

There is no reasonable objection
to the use of Latin terms for drugs
in prescriptions; but there is no pos
sible excuse for the offense of writing
the directions in Latin. 1t is an af-
fectation at best and it is exceeding
ly dangerous. The London papers
report a case of death from mis-
understanding between a surgeon
and druggist as to the meaning of
the word "statim." A prominent
jeweler became i'll on the street and
was taken to the nearest hospital.
The house surgeon examined him
and wrote prescription for 20
grains of cocaine in an ounce of wa
ter. 1t was his purpose to give the
patient a small injection of the drug,
and, as he wished to do it at once,
he wrote "statim" on the prescrip-
ton instead of good homely English,
"dispense at once" While the drug
gist was preparing the medicine the
doctor was called to another patient.
When he returned the jeweler was
dead. The nurse had given him the
22 grains Of cocaine, as the druggist
had told her that "statim" meant
"administer at once" In the midst
of life we are at the mercy of doctors
and druggists.-Milzoaukee Sentinel.
To the above it may be added,
there is no excuse whatever for writ
ing prescription in Latin, or in any
language not in familiar use by the
people generally. lnasmuch as all
legal business is required to be done
in English, it would be we'll if medi-
cal prescriptions were required to be
given in the English language.

IOWA TEMPERANCE AL

Gratifying Reports Of the Work Being Done
in the State.

1T the olak@.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 2o.-The
morning session of the State Tenn
perance Alliance was devoted main
ly to reports from the Congressional
districts of progress in enforcement
of the prohibitory law. These were
exceedingly encouraging. Serious
obstacles were encountered in the
First and Second Districts, but these
were being gradually overcome. In
the Third District President Fellows
reported progress. A leading rail
road official told him that not bar
rel of whisky was transported over
his line, where car load had been
carried before the law went into ef-
feet, and the same ratio of decrease
as to beer. B F. Wright reported
for the Fourth, and quoted judge
to show how marked is the falling off
in the criminal business of these in
ner counties where the traffic has
been stopped. From nearly all the
agricultural counties the testimony
is that jails are tenantless and Grim
inal business decreasing. A cheer
ing telegram was read from Mrs.
J. Ellen Foster, who is engaged in
New Hampshire. The report of the
Secretary, Mrs. A. E. McMurray,
showed a marvellous amount of work
done by the alliance at mere pit
lance of expense. Reports from
seventy-hve counties showed graft
flying decrease in liquor sales and in
criminal expenses. The following
officers were elected for the ensuing
year: President, B F. Wright, of
Charles City; Secretary, Mrs. A. E.
McMurray; Treasurer, A J. Baker,
DeS Moines- General Baker and
the Hon. Lewis Hunter urged the
necessity of Congressional legislation
prohibiting the transportation of
liquors into States wherein it's sale is
prohibited.

Catholic Schools IN PITTSBURGH

Catholic Schools IN Pittsburgh.
The injunction suit against Rev.
Father Sheedy, to compel him to re-
move his Catholic parochial school
from the First Ward public shool
building, will probably be dropped,
as the plaintiff, Thomas Maxwell
has sold his property in the ward and
removed from the city limits. The
removal of Mr.. Maxwell makes the
bill null and void, the law explicitly
that suit must be brought by a citizen
and taxpayer. If the opponents of
the parochial school decide to con-
tinue the fight, it will be necessary to
secure another citizen to act as
plaintiff and file another bill. Mean
while creed agitations is high and a
political conflict similar to the one
just ended in Boston, is predicted
before long.

The Peculiar Influence of Antipyrin.

Inc fecullar AnuuenCe OF Ant1pyr1n.
The new coal tar product called antipyrin,
discovered by German chemist, is a COM
pound whose remarkable qualities have
brought it into use the world over 1t is
claimed that it has the power of reducing the
temperature Of the body by several degrees,
and so is of vast utility in treating fevers and
feverish stages of many diseases. 1t does its
work by depressing the action of the heart,
and generally when employed by ply sicians it
Is accompanied. with digitalis to neutralize its
influence in the latter regard. Women use it
partly bee use it is sedative and partly be-
cause it makes the complexion beautifully
clear and pale by keeping the blood away
from the surface of the body The habit, like
all others, grows upon the person who prac-
tices it. It does harm, however, from the
first With women who are weak it increases
their weakness; with those having predis-
position towards heart disease of any sort, it
increases the tendency to terrible extent.
Besides these results, antipyrin exerts pecu-
liar influence upon the blood, which is not
yet thoroughly understood by the faculty.
1t seems to undergo some decomposition or
breaking down when absorbed by the system,
developing unknown compounds, which either
attack the blood itself or else powerfully in
fuence the nerves and ganglia, which con-
troll the vital functions

Elastic Traces for Draft Horses,

Six years ago the directors of the Eastern
railway of France began to harness all the
horses employed in shifting freight cars at
their Paris station with traces made Of
chains having strong spiral spring inserted
In them. A large number Of horses is en-
ployed in this service at the station, and the
effect of the change has been very satisfac-
tory. It is claimed that considerable gain
has been made in the durability of the har-
ness and the regularity of the work through
the diminution Of the number OF chains
broken in the service, while the horses have
done their work better and with less fatigue.
These elastic traces are now adopted in all
portions of the vast network of lines under
the control of the company referred to.

As might be supposed, the secret of the
trick lies in the construction Of the basket,
which is represented in the engraving, Fig.
showing it as it appears when the child is
first placed in it, and Fig. Q showing it laid
on its side and opened SO that the spectators
may see that it is empty, the double sides, A,
G, B. swinging outwardly and allowing the
child to escape into the flowing robes Of the
juggler, to emerge from thence while the at
tention of the audience is distracted by the
passing of the sword through the sides of the
basket and into a sponge filed with some red
colored substitute for blood
A similar basket or box can be easily con-
structed, and when skillfully handled can be
used to produce some surprising illusions.
The movable sides, A G and B G, are fastened
firmly together and turn on hinge at G.
In the illustration the end of the basket near
est the spectator is omitted, to show more
fully the interior construction.
