Goose Grease for Membranous Group.

Old-fashioned remedies are still the
hobby with many Connecticut people,
and they often cure where modern
therapeutics fail. Last week, in Bridge
port, two-year old child was stricken
with membranous Group. A physician
was hastily summoned, and he prescribed.
The child grew rapidly worse, aud the
attending physician called in two of his
brethren to consult with him. The three
decided that death would soon result
unless the operation of tracheotomy was
resorted to. This the parents positively
refused to allow, and the physicians de-
parted, saying the child would die before
morning. After they had retired several
women called, and, with the usual
feminine desire to do all they could to
help the afflicted parents, asked permis
sion to try their remedies. 1t was
granted, as the parents thought it would
do no harm, as the child would die in
few hours anyway. The patient was
thoroughly wrapped up in hannels, and
his head and throat were rubbed with
goose grease. A dose of the stuff, mixed
with vinegar, was with difficulty forced
down the chiid's throat. In short time
he vomited up large portion of mucus
and broke up the clogging matter in the
throat. Being placed in bed he soon
went to sleep, and the next day he was
playing about the house, and appeared
to be far from dying.-Nep York Sun.

she will take leaf and roll it up and in
.crt it in her ear. Gradually the weight
is increased by the addition of other
larger rings, till the lobe often gives way
and splits. Carl Book, in his book on
THE Head Hunters of Borneo," asserts
that he has counted as many as sixteen
rings in single ear, each of them the
size of dollar. The rings arc generally
made of tin, and cut so that they can be
removed at pleasure. Sometimes disks
of colored wood running up to an inch
and half in diameter are used. In adj
dition to this mutilation of the lobe, the
helix of the ear is pierced or slit in
several places, and IN these holes pieces
of colored ribbon or cord are tied, or
buttons or feathers inserted. In Fig. +
there is given a sketch made from one OF
the illustrations in Books book. 1t rep
resents the head of a Dyak belle, tho
measurements of the ear being as fol-
lows: Total length of the car II inches,
length of the cash in the lobe 4.75
inches, distance between the level of the
chin and bottom of the car 2.S5 inches.

and precious stones" Elizabeth re-
vived the antique love for pearls and wore
''rich drops" two large ones with third
depending from them being seen in her
portrait by Zucchero. Continual men
tion of them is made by writers in the
seventeenth century, at which period they
were given as love tokens. They were
also worn by men at the same period all
over Europe. George Villiers, Duke of
Buckingham, wore diamond earrings, and
all courtiers wore either gold, stones or
pearls in their ears. Men are not seen
wearing them after the restoration of
Charles II, but there was singular fash
ion existing at the same time on the con-
tinent which found its way to England
about the time of James /, viz, the wear
ing of two or three strings Of black silk.
The noble red man who once ranged
through the forest primeval was not con-
tent with-a- simple pair of earrings, but
tied his ears upin thongs of stained skin.
At least that is what -6eorge Catlin says
in his "North American Indians" from
which the sketch seen in Figs has
been taken. This species OF fantastic ear
decoration is, however, simplicity itself
compared to that practiced by certain un-

Earrings in All Age.

The strange fashion ofmutilating and
adorning the human ear has been prac-
ticed for all ages, and has been in vogue
all over the world. 1t has especially en-
joyed great favor among the 0rlentaIs,
AMI by Persians, Babylonians, Lydians,
Lybians and Carthaginians the earring
was worn as commonly by men as by wo-
men. Figure J., taken from Thomas
Hopes Costume of the Ancicnts," shows
now the monarchs of Phrygia adotned
themselves, and there are numerous evi-
dences in gems. etc., to bear out the as
sertion concerning the vanity of the an
tique male. In the ''Iliad" Juno is rep
resented is adorning himself with ear
rings made with three drops representing
mulberrics, and most of the jewels so
worn at that. time seent to have come
under the head of what some old-fash-
ioned people still call "eatdrops." From
this period down to the latest the prac-
tice prevailed in Greece, and one finds
the ears of the Venus d. Medici to be
pierced for the reception of earrings.
Pliny says there was no part of dress on
which greater expense was lavished
among the Romans, and Seneca mentions
an earring of which drawing, the lower
right-hand specimen, copied in Fig. 2
is taken from Smiths Dictionary,

me lobe of che , ear ana then bent
round, the other and fab end being
bent over it. Thus the earring must have
been permanently fixed in the ear. This
scoop or basket form of the ancient
Briton's earring was sometimes carried to
ludicrous size, as witness that repre-
sented in Fig. 4. This was taken out of
stone cist at Orton, in Moravshire, Scot
land. In this case, however, the earring,
or rather the ear-trough, was of gold,
and might have been worn by some IN
subducd Celt who caused the Roman
many an unhappy quarter of an hour in
his home. Earrings of silver have also
been found in the British barrows or
burial mounds, but both in England and
on the Continent, after the commence
ment of the tenth century, the fashion
appears to have declined and earrings are
neither found in graves nor discernible in
paintings or sculpture. NJ. Violet Cedric
observes that the style of head-dress and
wearing the hair may in some measure ac-
count for this. In the thirteenth century,
however, the fashion evidently revived,
mention being made of earrings in the
"Roman de Ia Rose" but there is no
graphic description Of their form, and
neither monument nor miniature is found
to assist us. In the sixteenth CEN
tury earrings were in high favor except
among the purists, who denounced
the women who were not ashamed to
make holes in their ears whereat they
hang rings and other jewels of gold

M. Thivrier began work in the coal
mines at Commentoy, France, when
twelve years old, and for twenty years
remained in them, handling the pick.
Afterward he became vine grower and
dealer in wines. He is Socialist, but
not a Communist, "for, having" as a
French paper puts it, acquired his capi-
tai by his own hard work, he cannot
easily understand how that capital should
belong to all the world" Through all
his career he has stuck to his working
mans blouse, and it was largely upon
the strength of that popularity that he
was elected aaDeputy. He is said to be
a man of unusual intelligence and good
speaker. When he came to Paris to take
his seat, his blouse, which he wore not
only at the Chamber, but at receptions
and all other functions that he attended,
made him at once famous.
: The garment, twill be seen, is similar
to the outside shirts worn by Cinnamon
in this country, and would doubtless bring
the Deputy ridicnle rather than honor or
popularity if worn here.-NeU York San.

How Curiosity is Gratified in Russia.

The ex-editor of the Chicago Neps,
who has just returned from Europe, re-
lates this incident, which he witnessed IN
st. Petersburg: "One day saw a car
riage containing a gcndarme and another
person. asked our guide who it was,
and he said it was a political prisoner. !
asked him what would become of him.
sOh, he'll never be heard of again. We
don't have any bother about juries and
trials. The papers won't take up the
matter and his friends won't attempt to
do anything for him. But if he were
your brother wouldn't you try to do
something for hima' I asked. No, sir.
If went to the officers and said wanted
to know what they were going to do
with him, they would say: Come right
in. You can have the cell next to his
and go with him to Siberia to see what
becomes of him."

whose ears are pierced at a very early age
and the hole continuously enlarged un-
til it is capacious enough to hold snuff
box, an ivory knob or Q lions tusk.
But the boss people of the world for
slashing and distorting the car are the
Dyaks of Borneo. The lobes are pierced
when the child is only six months old,
and from that day the hole is forcibly in
creased in size till it forms loop from
one to-ffour inches, or even more, long.
AT first wooden pegs are placed in the
hole; these are afterward replaced by a
couple of tin or brass rings, while if the
