A Strange f,ise.se.

''The oyster-shucker's eye disease"
is the title given by the professional
staff of the Presbyterian Eye and Ear
Hospital in Baltimore to fertile
source Of trouble affecting large
number Of patients at this season Of
the year. 1t is believed that the Pc
cular kind of liberation of the eye
ball which is known by this title is
caused by the juice of the oyster
touching the corner OF an eye which
has previously been slightly injured.
The doctors at the institution say
they can tell exactly when the oyster
season is at hand by the appearance
OF patients with this complaint within
twenty-four hours after the opening
OF the packing establishments, and
they claim that this complaint disap-
pears promptly with the close of the
! oyster season.
The shuckers come to the institu-
tlon complaining that they have had
their eyes hurt by a chip of the oys-
ter shell, but the ulcer is entirely
different to the physicians eye from
that caused by an abrasion from any
thing else. such as a nail, chip OF
marble or rock, a pin or even a clean
shell. A mere look at the liberated
cornca sutfices to determine that the
patient is an oyster shucker. The
disease yields easily to treatment, and
very frequently the patient is so far
relieved of pain as to be able to re-
turn to his work within twenty-four
hours. What is called the sterilizing
treatment is applied to the sufferers.
1t consists of applying cocaine to the
eye until all sensibility has been lost,
and then carefully touching the ulcer
on the cornea with a platinum wire
heated to whiteness by a galvanic cur
rent.

whenever iil-wiii has been displayed
it has been vigorously suppressed by
the Monaghan rulers of the country.
There can be no doubt, however, that
the hostility to- the ruling dynasty OF
which the dispatches speak as exist
ing throughout the fowery kingdom
is later outcropping Of the great
war that desolated the fairest portion
of China between the years 1850 and
1865.
When the Taepings were at the
hight of their power in 1923 the al
lied forces of England and France as
sisted the MOngol Government IN sup
pressing them. and were important
factors in their ultimate defeat. What
the attitude of the foreign nations
would be in the event Of new in
surrection cannot now be predicted.
But that a rebellion would find will
ing supporters in the populous inte-
rior provinces of China is not to be
doubted. When the Tapping power
was greatest there were three other
rcbellions i'm progress against the
Mongol authority. The Chinese
Maholnetans in the western part OF
the Empire were in revolt, there was
a revolution in ShanTung, another
in Yun-Nan and the Tu-feh rebellion,
second i'm Importance only to the
Tapping itself, was spreading in
SZchuan. All these rebellions had
native Chinese leaders and all were
directed against the Mongol dynasty;
but they had nothing else in common
and We're suppressed one by one. A
new rebellion that could combine all
the elements Of hostility to the Mant
choorian dynasty would be of great

ence from foreign navies-might re-

The Discomfort In China.

The discomfort which is said to be
prevalent Throughout China against
the reigning Tartar family is but Il
later development of the bitter feel
ing between the Chinese and their
alien rulers which brought on the
great Tapping rebellion of twenty-five
years ago against the Mongol dynasty.
This rebellion was suppressed after a
long and bloody conflict. which never
received much attention in the United
States, then quite busy with stable
rebellion Of their own. The Taepings
controlled the interior of China and
most OF the country between thd Y ang-
se-hiang and Hoang-Iio, and estab-
llshed' their capital at Nankin. The
TaepIng emperor was Il very able man.
and his brother, Chung Wong, who
commanded the rebel armies, was
conceded to be one of the few modern
chinese generals who knew anything
OF strategic warfare. The Monaghan
Emperor was in his swaddling clothes
and took small part in saving his tot
tering throne. 1t is the Judgment
OF historians that the Taepings might
have triumphed but for the mastery
ability OF Ii Hung Chang, who was
When the war began Governor of one
OF the affected provinces, but who be-
came the leading adviser OF the EN-
peror and who has ever since contin-
ued to be the premier of the middle
Kingdom and has established a world
wide reputation for learning and
sagacity.
1t was Li-Hung- Chang who author
lied the recruiting of the foreign con-
tingent in Shanghai, and it was this
little army or English, Americans and
Portuguese which first repulsed the
Taepings. 1t became known as the
''ever-victorious army" and took city

commanded by two noted men, first
by the famous ''Chinese" Gordon and

A Cure tor Diarrhea.
South Dakota cOrreSnnr

Souln DakOta correspondent
writes:
81 copied from the Mechanical Ne,ys
several years ago Il think about 1851
prescription for the cure Of diarrhea,
which has been used in my family
since successfully-but have lost it.
Can you in any way get it without
too much trouble; if so [ shall feel
greatly obliged"
More than eighteen years ago-in
August, lS13-the prescription which
we give below was printed in Tile Me-
chanicot Netcs. 1t was especially
recommended for the prevention of
cholera, but was declared on very high
authority to be equally etficacious for
summer complaint, diarrhea or the
first stages of cholera. We quote
from the issue OF our paper above re-
ferred to:
''lt is not to be mixed with liquor,
and any competent druggist can put
it up. The dose being very small,
the remedy can be carried in a phial
in the vest pocket, and will thus be
always at hand. The prescription. in
druggists terms, is as follows:
Tinct. opii, capsici, rhei CO., menth.
pip, campho.
In common language, Tincture of
opium, red pepper, rhubarb, pepper
mint and camphor.
Mix the ingredients in equal parts.
Dose, ten to thirty drops. For diar-
rhea, ten or twenty drops in three OF
four teaspoonfuls of water"
This is doubtless the remedy to
which our correspondent refers. 1t is
said to have been uniformly effectual,
even against the cholera, if admins
