nard admits that it does wonders In cases
of great nervousness, and that II is praised
by the patients. But he points ont that in
disturbing and arrestiug the natural action
of the nerves by q chemical substance,
although that action may be accompanied
by very great pain, the penalty for such in
reference will have to be paid sooner or
later. And the penalty in question is q
horrible one. For among the numerous
evils to which the excessive use of antipy-
rine gives rise are epileptic fits.
Il never rains but it pours. Besides the
influenza Europe is threatened with an
epidemic which has probably never before
invaded it's territory. 1t has its cradle in the
peninsula of the Ganges, and is called the
red fever of India. It is an eruptive malady,
disclosing some of the characteristics of
measles and scarlatina. There are In reality
two eruptions-one initial and the other
fnal. The attack is sudden, with weakness,
lassitude, pain In the head and affected eyes
and then the first eruption appears in the
form of red blotches, as In scarlatina. The
final eruption becomes apparent from the
fourth to the sixth day, and resembles that
of measles, affecting the feet, hands and the
limbs, and disappearing in its turn after a
duration Of twenty-four hours. Gonzales
cence is rather slow. The disease has hither-
to been confined chiefly to Asia, but 1t has
recently appeared at Oonstantinople and al
Prevesa. It is extremely contagious, but the
latanesa Of the season NAV peyent ita general
spread through Europe.

THE NRGRo AND THE CONaO.

THE NRGRO AND THE CONGO.
The negro seems to be doing pretty well
for himself. and there are many interested
in trying to do something for him. One Of
the latest schemes for his benefit is an offer
made by King Leopold of Belgium, the chief
Of the Congo State, for party of twenty
four educated and trained American negroes
to go to the Congo as examples Of what
negroes can be and become. The king's
first year, the salary to be increased the
second year; $40 a month for carpenters and
$50 month for engineers. Transportation
expenses will be paid by the Congo govern
ment, and if at the end of three years the
emigrants wish to return to this country,
they will be sent home free Of cost Towns
are to be established along the Congo river,
where trade will be undertaken, and the
educated negroes are to act as instructors
and directors of the natives in various in
dustries. Sawmills will be erected as soon
as the Instructors arrive, the machinery to
go from this country. The Savannah News,
in detailing these plans, says that a repre-
sentative of King Leopold has been at Shaw
university, Rsieigh, North Carolina. and was
led to believe that the entire twenty-four
emigrants can be secured from that institu.
tion, and the president Of the university ia
quite enthusiastic over the plan. The latter
believes that in the near future thousands of
colored people would go to to the Congo
country and that the towns to be established
would grow into fourishing cities. He
thought the civilizing effect of the movement
would soon be felt.
It may be that this and similar plans will
have some success, but there are q great
many negroes in this country who cannot be
persuaded to think that there is any better
home for them shan here.

A USEFUL LESSON +.

Il seems ~ IL the experience Of New York
with what is called "the convict labor prob
lsmn ought to settle some things, but We
suppose that there are still demagoguss who,
whenever opportunity offers, win complain
yoclferouslY and bitterly about what they
call the competition of csnvict labor with
free labor.
See how the attempt to do away with the
alleged competition has resulted in New
York. The report of the superintendent of
prisons shows financial deficit of nearly
SO, 900, which is the cost to the taxpayers of
maintaining criminals in idleness when they
might a. we'll earn their own living. But
that IL not the worst. As stated by Super
intendent Lathrop, It is 'sthe distinct and
deplorable disihtegration Of the morale of
the prisoners a. mass, and and unprece-
dented death rate and unequalsd numerical
lapse of conviots into insanity" Nor is that
all. While there were systematic industries
In full operation in the prisons, and the con-
victs were by their labor paying the coat of
their maintenance, there was considerable
decrease in their numbers, due to the fact
that constantly diminishing proportion Of
those discharged, trained to knowledge and
habits Of industry, lapaed into crime and
were recommittsd. Since the prison labor
system was upset the number of prisoners
has increased again year by year in conss-
quenoe of the return Of those who fell back
Into criminal ways.
1t il fortunate for New York that q now
policy has been adopted. Demagogues and
''friends Of the people" have been allowed to
have their own way in this important matter
too long.

Olive OIL In Scarlet Fever.

lDr. duGcnln60n In the American mA&azlno.l
Among the many mothers who read theee
lines there may be one or more whose child
has scarlet fever, that terrible disease that
has come to be 30 dangerous of late years,
and who will be glad to know of anything to
help their babies. And this is something so
simple, yet so effective, that no physician
can object to its employment. It is the
application to the entire body of warm,
sweet oil, well rubbed in. There is some
thing curious In its immediate good effect.
About twenty years ago had five patients
in one family with the anginose or throat va
riety of scarlet fever, and had them all
brought into one room for conveniences'
sake, as well as seclusion. Five little heads
returned my greeting every time q visit was
made, and all clsmored loudly for their oil
bath. No medicine was given, and little
food was needed to supplement absorbed oil.
And in recovery there was an absence of the
usual complications, go that in my western
town, oil baths came to be generally used
with excellent result.
Other fats were tried, but none answered
the donble purpose of nutrition and skin
cooler as we'll as plain olive oil. 1t 10 well
worth trial.
