Uses of Carbolic Acid.

Carbolic acid is now deservediy considered
external injuries and diseases. Physicians
approve of it from weak eye lotion to a
powerful caustic For medicinal purposes
the pure crystallized acid only should be
used. 1t is readily dissolved by placing the
bottle containing the acid in warm water.
1t can be made into an ointment with lard or
into paste with chalk and carbolic acid.
Carbolic soap and the various preparations
have a remarkable power Of cleansing foul
wounds, ulcers, OF correcting viscous dis
charges, stimulating tha healing process and
efectually killing disease germs.
Il is also used with excellent results in kill
ing verruin injecting the skins of animals 1t
has most remarkable effect in soothing ir-
ritation and allaying pain, such as severe
sprains and bruises, diseases of the skin, etc.
In diseases of the feet carbolic acid is use
fdl in toe form of an ointment. 1t is most
generally used rs caustic dressing for proud
flesh and poisoned wounds In such cases it
may be used in small quantities without being
diluted
Where too much acid is accidentally used
oil viii check the caustic action. The addi-
ton of glycerine to carbolic lotions will be
found useful AS disinfectant and deo-
dorizer it stands unequaled.
Although it would hardly be correct to say
that carbolic acid will cure all external dis
eases, but from its powerfl> disinfecting
properties, action on insect life, it does good

No Mothers in Fiction.

A sick youth was lying in bed, watching
with quiet eyes his mothers form moving

Microbes and Diarrhea.

We shall confine ourselves in this paper II
the diarrhea of infants Microbes abound
almost everywhere. Several different kind:
have their habitat in the secretions of the
mouth and throat. Most kinds are harmless
while others are the causes of various infec
tious diseases. Among the diseases caused
by them are cholera infantum and other
forms of infantile diarrhea
Breast milk is wholly free from bacteria
therefore it is chiefly bottle fed babies who
have cholera infantum, and such patients are
readily cured, if not too far gone, by being
transferred to a healthy wet nurse
Breast milk does not curdle and form hard
cheesy Jumps which keep up constant irri
tation of the bowls, as cows milk does. Thi:
curdling is due to microbes which the milk
absorbs from the air-Boston Budget.

Nobility Of Chnracfe1,.

Henry L. Detwider, of {1l Paso, Tex, sends
the following TO The St Louis Globe-Deno-
crat: Zone day while passing up State street
in Columbus, saw a woman sitting on tbs
curbstone, and dozen or more small boys
were teasing her. She was very drunk, an.
parently. About the time that reached the
spot carriage drove up and stopped near
the scene. A lady looked out of the window,
and, taking in the situation at a glance,
opened the carriage door, got out, walked up
to the drunken woman, and, speaking kindly
to her, asked her to take a drive with her
The drunken woman, in a meundering way
complied, and was assisted to the carriage
and driven away. After they had gone

riage was, and he told me it was the wife of

in brilliancy, but not superior for nobility

HimaIayan Women,

On the slopes of the Himalayas there are
many curious tribes Some of the tribes near
Darjeeling reckon journey by the number
of guilds of tobacco which they chew upon
the way, and some of the most gorgeous
specimens of Hindoo jewelrv l have seen

member one mountain pink who had fifty
rupees strung around her neck, and whose
limbs were loaded down with silver She
had gold plates twice the diameter of silver

Himalsya tribes have one wife TO four men,
and polyandry is common. Here at Bombay

skins, they are tall and well shaped, have
beautiful eyes and fine intellectual faces
They dress in silks of the most delicate col
ors, and the dress seems to consist Of one
large piece of silk, which is wound around
the waist and then carried up over the body

out and the whole hangs in a beautiful dra-
perry. Many of them, | note. have silk stock

Women's Breathing.

Our readers viii doubtless remember the
claim made by DR.. Thomas j. MAYS, of Phila-
delphia, that he had succeeded IN demon
strating that the statement made in almost
every text book on physiology, that it was
natural for women TO breathe from the chest,
was wrong; that the abdominal type Of res
piration, ordinarily observed in men. was
the natural type OF women as we'll and the
coStal type seen in women Is the result of
modern dress. This claim he supported by
the result of an examination of elghty-two
American Indian girls DIR. J. II. Kellogg,

women untrSmDeled 10 tight fitting dress,
fluids the abdominal type present in them
Other observers, notably Hutchinson, in
twenty-four girls whose waists had never
been CONSTRUCTED by corsets or other appli
anceS, found the costal type present. The
question OF what is tie natural type of res
piratlon may therefore still be regarded as
sub JUDGE, unless, which perhaps may be the
truth. both tyres are natural under varying
conditions, independent Of dress Science

Lime and alllali stains may be removed
from white goods by simply washing. In

Healthy Girls.

1t Is no longer fashionable with the fair
sex TO feign delicacy, nor are the girls of the
coming generation actuated by an insane de-
sire to appear fragile and genteel at the ex-
pense Of health. The scores Of buxonl, bright
eyed young ladies one will meet upon any OF
our public thoroughfares any afternoon is
ample evidence of the truth OF the assertion.
No longer do the fair ones seem wan and
pale TO look upon, nor is their style OF loco
motion suggestive of effort; but on the con-
trary nearly all seem strong and 1.-the of
