Recently I was called to see an old lady,
who, a day or two after exposure to q
case of diphtheria (proved to be so by
paralysis occurring several weeks after.
wardl, was taken sick with rigOrS, fever,
and sore throat. Almost simultaneously
her daughter and son-in-law were taken
in the same way but her little grandchild,
a BOY of four years, showed no signs of
the disease when | was called. I at once,
however, put him, as we'll as the others,
on the creOlin treatment. The child,
although always rather predisposed to
throat and bronchial trouble. escaped an
attack altogether, and his parents and
grandmother recovered promptly.
Diphtheria is certainly one Of the most
dreadful diseases that confront us, aud
any treatment that might reasonably be-
expected to prevent its spread should be
given II trial. | am inclined to believe
that if the mouths, throatS, and nasal
passages of children were kept as clean
as their faces, there would be much less
of the disease. When diphtheria prevails,
no child's toilet should be considered
complete until the upper air passages
have been thoroughly douched with some
suitable antiSeptic: and in the long list
of such agents | know Of none that fulh.Ds
the requirements so well as creolin.-Hsdi-

spectator, 9th APRIL

Sir Charles Russell has occupied three
DAYS of the Special Commission,-Tues
day, Wednesday, and ThurSday-in a very
eloq uent speech, not yet concluded. which
is directed to show that there was the
greatest need for the Land League or
ganisation that the popular feeling against
tenants who were willing to take farms
from which their predecessors had been
evicted, who have been nicknamed Gland
grabbers," is of very old date; that the
Land League diminished rather than in
creased the number Of outrageS, by protect
lug the people against unjust eviction
and that the leaders had done so much III
the way OF warning against outrage
bOycotting, of course, not counting as
outrage, and, according 10 Sir Charles
Russell, tending to diminish serious out
rage,-that they could not he reasonably
condemned, as the Attorney General had
condemned them. for w~inking at outrage
in general, still less for deliberately stlmu-
lating to it in particular cases. Sir
Charles Russell asked on Thursday for
an adjournment till Tuesday, instead of
continuing his speech yesterday. 1t has
certainly been a very able and eloquent,
though of course an &c pGrte, statement OF
the case for the ParueiliteS. There is a ru-
mour that during one Of Sir Charles
RusselPs pathetic expositlons OF Irish
misery, Mr.. Parnell was observed to be
shedding tears.

18Th April.

The President of the French Republic
signed on Monday the decree con
stitutIng the Senate a High Court of
Justice for the trial Of an. Georges Ernest
Boulanger, retired General and Deputy,
accused by the Ministry Of Justice OF ga
%feloniOuS attempt against the safety OF the
State, and the Senate accepted the fnne-
lion. On the following day, the Repu0ll-
can Deputies, amidst a tremendous scene,
By one dead heave carried the Bill regulat-
ing the Senate's procedure through all its
stages and the trial Will therefore com.
mence today. The Bill was resisted i'll the
Chamber by all the Reactionaries, and
seventeen amendments were proposed,
intended to give the accused the right to
"challenge" twelve Senators, who, it was
pointed out, might we'll be his personal
enemies to be heard by counsel Ill the
preliminary stages; to be convicted only
by q five-eighths majOrity-aS IN the old
Court of PecrS-and to appeal, after SEN
tence, to the Court of Cessation. EVERY
proposal, however, was rejected, and the
Chamber. after a stormy sitting OF eight
hours, and several attempts to obStruct
by demanding a "vote from the tribune"
which takes hours, passed the Bill % a
majority of $40 to 100. The proceedings
are TO be secret, and the vote, only the
result being made known. Lit is still
doubtful whether the Right will sit on the
tribunal and two Senators have refused,
ii. Leon Renault, in a particular. saying,
II will not sit as Judge to try General
Boulanger, because I hate him." an OBJ
lection which, if universally offered,
would extinguish the tribunal.

CreOlin in thu Local Preventive
and Curative Treatment of Infec-
tiOus Throat Diseases.

BY F. W. KOEHLER, Md, LOUISVILLE, KY.
In Nos. II, Is, and 10 of the current
volume of the Wiener Medizin. WOchens,
chritt, DR.. James Eisenberg describes IL
series of experiments made with the new
antiseptic creolin. He shows it to be an
extremely powerful germicide, and yet,
even i'll large doses, altogether harmless
to man. These qualities made it appear
to me an ideal remedy for the preventive
and curative treatment of infectious throat
troubles. Adults can use gargleS Of the
ordinary poisonous antisepticS, like the
bichlOride of mercury, but for children
something is needed which can be safely
swallowed. Soon after I had read DR..
Eisenberg's article I procured q supply
of the c~reolin, and have since used it to
the exclusion Of other local applications.
My success with it has been very pleasing
indeed. In treating infectious throat trou.
bles, [ now always put not only the
patient, but also all the we'll members
of the household, on the creolin treatment.
Thus I have prevented, | think, diphtheroid
sore throat from going through entire
families of children, which it had previous
ly, under other modes of treatment, always
DONE.
But it is as a preventive of true
diphtheria that l expect most from the
creOlin. DIR. Eisenberg's experiments
show that no form of pathogenic germ
can resist it's action; and it is therefore
reasonable to suppose that the germ of
this disease will also succumb to it.

The Paper Syndicate.

A news agency says 1t is sta
ted that the syndicate which has been
formed to secure the control Of all
The English chenp paper mills have,
after considerable difficulties, atlength
arranged terms with practically The
whole Of these mills. The syndicate
will purchase the mills, aud as the
whole of the proprie'ors are strongly
supporting the change, it is believed
that the price paid for each mill will
be one of considerable advantage to
the present owners. AS soon as the
mills are taken over they will all be
under the control of u central staff,
located in either London or Manchos-
ter. The central staff will be the
exclusive authority in selling the
paper, and will seud the orders
to those mills which are most
conveniently placed as regards
proximity to The customer and having
regard to the quality of paper re-
Iuired and local circumstances. 1t
is claimed by the syndicate that Il
central authority will result in a con.
siderable saving in expenses and a
more economical working of the
mills. On the other hand, it is con
tended that the change will he in
every way disadvantageous. It is
pointed out that the syndicate will
probably have to float their undertake
ing at a price OF about 80 per cent. in
crease upon the combined capitals of
the existing companies, that a cen
trail authority cannot work the mills
so economically as under the present
system of personal supervision, and
that the cumbrouS management will
check the constant improvements
which are being made in %papermak-
ing under the present system of open
competition. 1t is also pointed out
that the conditions and local circum-
stances in connection with pnpermak-
ing vary SO much that the Paper
Syndicate cannot in any sense draw
comparisons between it and the Salt
Union. Considerable doubt is, there.
fore, entertained whether the public
will come forward in support of
the huge demand which it is under.
stood The Paper Syndicate will mike
when their prospectus is issued. In
the meantime, the leading newspa-
per proprietors are already banding
themselves together to oppose the
operations of the Syndicate, and'the
Belgian, German, and American
makers are opening up cominunica.

It is universally assumed in Paris that
the verdict will be equity" the tribunal,
the charge, and the accused being all
equally political, and a full defence not
being allowed in the absence Of the pri-
soner. The knowledge of this expecta.
ton may, however, influence the Senators,
who will not like being denounced as III.
just Judges, and who, moreover, have a
good deal to fear. Nearly fOur-fifthS of
them are elected. and have their cOnSti.
tuentS to dread, and many of them are
probably not wlth0ut apprehension Of the
Generals ultimate victory and n con.
Sequent prescription. One may find one
self in Cayenne. They may reflect, more.
over, that an acquittal will make General
BOulanger'S flight seem ridiculous, his
published reason having been that al
though he would trust the MagiStracy,
he would not trust the Senate. 1t is GER
tain, however, that no one believes in the
impartiality of the Senate, though it is
composed Of the most respectable men in
France. The responsibility Of the Sena-
tors is diminished by the absence of the
accused; who will not suffer any of the
penalties to which he may be sentenced,
and by the fact that he can by returning
at once QuaSh the proceedings. He must

The condition of affairs in Roumania is

King Charles, after great efforts to avert
the necessity, has been compelled to adj
init II Ministry exclusively belonging to
the Boyar party, and therefore entirely
RuSSophil, and, it is believed, hostile to
the dynasty. Its head is NJ. Catargi, a
pronounced enemy Of Austria. Their plan
is 20 make a new compact with Russia,
which would thus be supreme along the
course OF the Danube, and at liberty to
march into Bulgaria. There is IL rumour
that King Charles will abdicate but

only abdicate at last. He cannot nave
lost all influence with the Army, and
before initiating King Milan, he may take
counsel of despair. The power Of diSsolu-
ton, of personally appealing to the people,
is always in his hands.
Sir Charles Rnssell's great speech was
concluded yesterday with u striking per
Grafton, in which he asserted that the
Times and their representatives were no
longer the accusers, but had become the
accused, and prophesied aS the result
of the trial, that il would bring about the
reconciliation Of the two peoples of Eng.
land and Ireland. Sir Charles Russell
was overwhelmed with congratulations on
his great Grafton, and when it concluded,
the Court adjourned till after Easter.
It is said that Mr.. Parnell's examination
will commence on April 30th. That will
probably prove to be the beginning of the
true issue.

try, which any child can try. Cut
three leaves of red cabbage into small
pieces, and, after placing them in a
basin, pour a pint of boiling water
over them, letting them stand an hour;
then pour off the liquid into de-
canter. 1t will be of fine blue
color. Then take four wine glasses
into one put six drops of strong vine
gar; into another six drops of solution
of soda; into a third the same quantity
of a strong solution of alum; and let
the fourth glass remain empty. Fill
up the glasses from the decanter, and
the liquid poured into the glass con-
tanning the acid will quickly change
to beautiful red; that poured with
the soda will be a fine green; that
poured into the alum will turn to a
pretty purple, while that poured into
the empty glass will remain unchanged.

NINE REASONS WHY EVERY YOUNG
MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
IN LARGE CITIES SHOULD
HAVE BUILDING
OF ITS OWN.

HAVE A BUILDING
OF ITS OWN.
I. To give it permanency. If
not in its own building, it is esteem
ed as possibly uncertain in its con-
tinuance.
2. To give it prominence. Any
work that seeks to impress metrop-
olltan community must be conspicu-
Gus.
3. To give it power. A fulcrum
is needed for every lever and build
ing is the fulcrum for the lever of
organization in work for men.
A. To give it popularity. That
combination which affords the most
advantages will be the one most
popular,
S. To give it personality. AS a
distinct work for young men, a
building emphasizes its defniteness
as nothing else can.
$. To give it appliances that pro-
vide for physical development. A
very important part OF our work is
our gymnasium department, which
is calculated to meet the require
ments of young men along this line
under Christian influences.
7. To give it facilities for educa-
tional work. Our classes of instruc-
ton for young men, both secular and
religious, and our libraries and read
ing rooms need space and convent
ences that cannot be obtained ex-
cept in a building erected for the
purpose.
8. To give it opportunities for
social enjoyment and recreation.
Young men will fellowship with,
when, and where conditions are con-
genial. These can only be attract
lively and properly furnished in a
building constructed with this end in
view.
To give it the largest advantages
for the training of Christian youth
and young men, and for the exercise
of spiritual gifts, such as will enable
it to become the theatre of aggres-
sive work for the redemption of
young manhood and the rallying
centre of Christian influence in their
behalf
