Smallpox.

smallpox
DR.. Lewentaner, of ConstAntinople,
writing in The Bulletin General de The
rapeutique, No. 80, 1889, speaks very en-
couragingly of the success attending an
antiseptic method of treating this disease,
which he tried in several cases. The ad-
vantages of this method of treatment are
summed up by The Medical Record as
follows: /. All the children treated in
this way recovered, although the ordi-
nary mortality of the disease is 40 per
cent. g The duration of the disease was
decidedly shortened. the period eiapsing
from the commencement Of the eruption
to the falling of Of the crusts being
twelve or thirteen days. 8. The disease
ran its entire course almost without
fever. 4. The danger to those around
the patient is greatly lessened. In DR..
Lewentaner's cases there were other chill
dren exposed, but. notwithstanding that
they were not vaccinated, they did not
contract the disease 5. The simplicity
Of the method, as compared with the
treatment by baths and cold applications,
has much to recommend it. 6. Esthet-
ically, also, the antiseptic method Of
treatment offers great advantages, since
it prevents absolutely all pitting.

An Eccentric.

But the best and most frequent speci-
mems of an eccentric nation hail from
the land of John Bull. Among them is
mentioned Mr.. Cecil S. (The Figaro war;
~ suppresses the surname), who for
many years made Paris ring with sto-
ries Of his wild doings. Finally govt
attacked him, and he was doomed to
perpetual confinement at home. The
ballet having always been specially pat
ronized by him, Mr.. S. started ballet
within his own four walls, where he
kept an entire stage with all that be-
longs to it, including costumes of every
possible variety. Five or six spectators
were invited to the photographic spec
tacles, the artists in which were paid
with more than princely hberality. AL
though Mr.. 8. could never set foot out
side his house, he always retained his
ten horses and four carriages. which
were regularly driven about in the Bots
and on the boulevards, somewhat like
the empty carriages seen behind hearse.

Tho ANGLE Worm.


There Is nothing especially interesting
about the angle worm itself. 1t is the
effect it has upon the lives Of mankind.
and boykind especially, that weaves a
halo of interest about this otherwise un-
interesting object. There may be differ
ent breeds Of the angle worm, but those
who need them in their business do not
examine into the pedigree Of those that
come to hand first. Any smooth, fat,
wiggly worm will do, be it mongrel or
thoroughbred.
Why the denizens of the two most un-
stable elements, air and water, should
have an appetite for the humble worm,
is one of the great mysteries of nature.
It is lucky for the worm that it is neither
. swimmer nor flyer, and it can also
thank its stars, if it has any, that birds
and fish cannot handle spade. If the
worm would give up its habit Of going
to meet the early bird it could pass It's

The man who discovered that fish liked
worms is responsible for considerable
Juvenile and masculine depravity. Fish
ing cannot be successfully carried on
without the worm. Any old tin can will
do to carry the worms in.
1t is almost an infallible omen when a
boy is seen with spade and can that he
will be missed at school on the morrow,
or when man is seen with the same i'm
plements Saturday evening, that he will
be missed at church next Sunday. 1t is
not right to dig for angle worms on Sum-
day.-Texas Siftings.

Living Expenses in England.

Little as our readers may think it, this
wonderful feat may be achieved, and by
anybody-provided that he has the thou
sand year. A book has been published,
of course by lady, which solves the
problem. Given the 81, 600 $4,000
most people, unfortunately, have to earn
it-you should spend it thus: House rent,
rates and taxes, repairs and renewals,
are put down at nearly e200; two SER
wants, on board wages, 9100; ''keep OF
self and wife another e100, and insur-
ance, ESQ. These estimates seem fair
enough, though we fancy most people
would find it cheaper to feed their ser
wants themselves. The other items are
more questionable.
Washing, at e26, does not seem ex-
travagant, though, to be sure, soap is
cheap, and in such a household there
would not be many soiled tablecloths.
But when we come to personal expend-
iture, there is still stranger calculation.
The wife, apparently, is to dress and
supply herself with pocket money out OF
SIS, while the husband is allowed e100
for clothes and nothing at all for pocket
money. Perhaps he is expected to take
it out of 'incidentals," which amount to
the substantial figure eS13. But as these
incidentals are expected to cover travel
ing, amusements, club subscriptions and
charity, it will be seen that e318 is not
likely to be a bit too much.-London

Dickens, Letter to His Sons.

Here is a letter from Dickens, ad-
dressed to his younger sons on their
leaving home, one for Cambridge, the
other for Australia, in which the father
heart and the deeper side of his nature
reveal themselves:
"You will remember" he says to both,
"that you have never at home been
wearied about religious observances or
mere formalities. You will, therefore,
understand the better that l now most
solemnly impress upon you the truth
and beauty of the Christian religion as
it comes from Christ himself, and
the impossibility of your going far wrong
if you humbly, but heartily, respect it.
Similarly l impress upon you the
habit of saying Christian prayer night
and morning. These things have stood
by me through my life, and remember
that l tried to render the New Tesla
ment ineligible to you and lovable to
you when you were mere baby. And
so God bless you.

A Boston lawyer, returned from a trip
in Maine, tells Of curious phenomenon
existing at the Livermore falls, in that
state. At the foot of one of the dams
the descending water seems to be driven
back with so much force that half way
up the column of water there is an ever
moving line of water like crease in a
piece of cloth. This has an effect upon
the surrounding atmosphere that is al
most incredibly great. The phenomenon
is not observable at all times, but when
the "wave" is visible on the falling
water, objects suspended in the air at
some distance from the falls are OBJ
served to vibrats perceptibly in regular
movement The vibration, while per-
ceptible at the time when the "wave"
can be seen, seems to stop almost in
stantly after the ''wave" disappears, and
it seems almost certain that the latter
causes the forner.-Boston Advertiser.

BRAZILIAN AFFAIRS.
The Situation Not Altogether Satisfactory
in that Country.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The steamer Strabo
arrived from Rio de Janeiro. Her captain
reports all quiet when he left that city,
but says the situation is not very satisfac-
tory from the standpoint of believer in
popular self government The people
seem overawed by the police and mill
tary. The soldiers ride about the streets
constantly calling out "all is well' and
notifying the populace that anyone who
attempts to raise disturbance will be
shot.
The provisional government manufac-
turers cablegrams purporting to show
that all the nations in the world and all
the great bankers have recognized the
jnnto.
By posting and circulating these, and
keeping strict censorship over the cables,
it keeps the people misinformed as to the
real situation. The captain of the Bra
lillian war ship, Amazon. remained loyal
to the empire and refused to haul
down his flag until all the guns
of the fleet had been turned on his vessel.
The Amazon was the training ship. Two
OF the cadets took the revolt SO much to
heart that they committed suicide. The
junto has as yet adopted no national flag;
or rather, it has used half dozen differ
ent ones at different times. When Cap
tain Matheson was at Santos smuggling
case came up In the British con-
SUBS Office. There were no courts in ses-
sion, and the collector of the port ordered
the American code of laws to be used in
settling the case. The British consul
agreed and the matter was satisfactorily
adjusted. The courts are in a sadly demon
allied condition.
Captain Matheson says the people are
unaccountably apathetic. If citizen can
be induced to express an opinion. he will
admit mis- lack of faith in the stability of
the provisional junto, but will hold up his
hands in horror at the idea
of doing anything himself to
alter the situation. Everybody is
waiting for some one else to do something.
Probably the initiative in the movement
to establish legitimate government will
be taken in some province, and the re-
volt will then become general. Then it
will be found that the present government
has absolutely nothing behind it. The
genuine Republicans secretly look to Sill
yeria MARITIME as the hope of their party.
The first act of the provisional govern
ment was to clap this able and patriotic
man into prison, and it is feared he will
die there. The only other man who would
be universally recognized as leader in
the Republican movemet is Baron Lodario,
who. though minister of the marine under
the empire, is imbued with republican
ideas. He is not the kind of Republican
that Fonseca and Barbosa are, but believes
in legitimate methods, and he was wouned
IN trying to check the recent rebellion.
