In the school law of Ohio there is
a requirement which makes it neces-
sary for the teacher to instruct the
pupil as to the effects of spirituous
liquors upon the human system. The

no'better practical demonstration than
to let his scholars sample "a little

The Empress of Japan.

At excessive heights above all Japan
csc women, the invisible Empress, till
within recent years, was enthroned like
goddess. But she, the sovereign, has
descended little by little from her en-
pyrean; she shows herself at present, she
receives, she speaks, and she even lunches
with the tips of ner lips, it is true She
has abandoned her magnificent canals
strewn with strange blazons, her wide
hcaddress that looked like an IDOLS, and
her enormous fans; she sends, alas to
Paris or London for her corsets, her
dresses, and her bonnets.

cred ceremonial smile, disdainful and

new customs she was forced to tolerate

The Queen of Italy.

perfect features, she has been and is still

thin as to be almost transparent; but in

beauty. Her German mother was care

Mexican Burden Bearers.

Two legged beasts of burden are very
plentiful in Mexico. In ancient times,
before the coming of the Spaniards, the
only possible means of transportation
away from the few watercourses, was on
the backs of men; for many years after
the Conquest, while oxen, mules, and
horses yet were few, this primitive method
of burden bearing was continued and

even in long journey will make but
few halts. The method of carriage, when

We have right hese, in our own fair
city, youth who will probably in time
become one. of the most celebrated ply
sicians and surgeons in the world.
AT the regular meeting of the Southern
Medical Society last Saturday evening,
Master Albert Werner Fensch, of Fort
Mcpherson, was unanimously elected to
honorary membership in that organiza-
tion, as the youngest medical student
known to the profession.
DR.. j. E. Price, of Virginia, President
of the Society, who introduced this
young gentleman, stated that though he
had barely attained the age of five years,
he was possessed of knowledge of an
atomy, especially of osteology, equal to
that of many graduates of medicine.
In his exhibition before the Society,
the child was able not only to give the
technical and scientific names OF each of
the two hundred and odd bones of the
human skeleton, but to describe their
various functions, divisions, tuberosities,
tubercles, &c.

bones of the human body with which
he has been presented complete set to

melodies, and chooses his friends and

medical students rather than from chill.

Acldity of the Stomach.

This condition is due to germs, and
the cure lies in getting rid of the germs.
Germs of fermentation in the stomach
produce first alcohol, then carbonic acid,
and then acetic acid. Aporson troubled
with this form of dyspepsia should be
careful to take only such articles of food
as do not favor the development of germs,
and thus starve them out. Another
thing to do is to wash the germs out of
the stomach by drinking freely of hot
water before meals. If food is put into
a stomach already sour, of course fermen-
tation will be set up Immediately. Some
persons notice that as soon as they eat
their stomachs become sour. The third
important thing to do is to stimulate the
stomach to make more gastric juice, which
is natural antiseptic, and prevents fer
mentation and also hastens absorption.
The glands may be stimulated by apply
ing hot lamentations to the stomach for
half an hour Immediately after the close
of meal, or, easier still, by wearing a
rubber bag filled with hot water directly
over the stomach for half an hour or an
hour. Heat is a natural stimulant, and
there are no possible i'll effects from its
use in this way Good Health.

Indians as Judges.

At Standing Rock, South Dakota, the
Court of Indian Offences holds bi-weekly
sessions at the agency, where all Indians
committing offences are brought for
trial. Eighty-three cases were heard
and adjudicated by this court during the
last year, and all the decisions have been
intelligently and impartially rendered
upon the evidence adduced.
Offenders were punished by fines OF
rifles, shotguns, revolvers, ETC., also by
imprisonment at hard labor, and some
times by close confinement. In every
instance the decision of the Court has
been sustained by public sentiment, and
not single appeal to higher authority
was asked.
The three judges of the court are John
Grass, head chief of the Blackfeet Sioux
band; Chief Gall, Of the Hunkapapa
band, leader of the progressive element
of the late hostile Sioux, and Standing
Soldier of the Yanktonais; all of whom
are full-blooded Indians, eminent among
and respected by their people.

Bridges and Civilization.

of progress should be estimated by the
construction of bridges. OF all the
large rivers in Europe the Loire and the

in North America the Ohio, though
the endless Missouri exceeds it

of all kinds. Africa abounds in bridge
less streams, and the large rivers of South
America are crossed only by footlogs near
their headwaters. Judging from the
number of ruined bridgeheads even the

Spanish Moors, whose Caliphs spent
