Wounds and Sores Completely sterllized

It is a well-known fact in biology
that bacteria and bacilli absorb aniline
and are killed by it. Two German OBJ
servers-Stilling and Wortmann-havc
recently considered the possibility of
utilizing this property in medical treat
ment (Humboldt). The diffusibility
and harmlessness Of violet aniline dyes
(called, for brevity, ''methyl violet")
without arsenic, in small doses, were
first demonstrated on rabbits and
guinea pigs. Then certain eye dis
orders were produced in those animals,
and treated with aniline solution, the re-
suits being excellent. The authors pro-
ceeded to operate on the human subject.

cess, was gradually healed by daily
dropping a little aniline solution on the
sore; and similar good results were had
with bad cases Of eye disease. It soon
appeared that many surgical cases were
open to successful treatment in this
way; and that, in general, wounds anc
sores developing suppuration could be
sterilized with aniline. 1t is also though,
that cases of internal inflammation, as
in pleuritis and peritonitis, may prove
to be not beyond the reach of this orde,

seems that a monopoly of the extensive
fisheries of Scotland and England once
came into the hands Of man who kept
his agents at the principal stations, and
required them to furnish him all the
facts that came to their knowledge At
one of his stations in the far North the
fishing had been unsuccessful for the
greater part of the season. and there
was no prospect of improvement, when
he looked into the matter. Upon ex-

English Speaking Indians.

1t is common mistake to suppose
that most of the Indians can speak En-.

exceed one-fourth of the Yanktons
speak English. The various tribes OF
the Sioux use practically the same
language, though there are slight
differences between the tribes located
in different sections of the country or
on reservations at some distance apart.
But of the Yanktons, comparatively
small number speak English. About
the same proportion of the Santee tribe
uses the language, and the number OF
English speaking Indians in the other
tribes is still smaller They have much
less need ofsthe English language now
than formerly. The Yanktons have
an excellent school where they are ed.
ucatcd in their own language. John
p. Williamson, the missionary who has
been working with them for many
years and whose father before him was
an Indian missionary, has reduced

translated number of books into the
Indian tongue. Most of the Indians can
now read and write their native Ian.

The Black-Bird Days.'

January 80, 81 and February l are
famous in the ncighborhood Of Brescia,
Constantinople, Florence, Italy, and
along the Danube and the Rhine, as the
.sBlack-bird days" A curious medieval
legend says that originally all species
of the gracxels (black-birds) were Of a
creamy white color; that it became
black because during one year in the
Middle Ages the three days above men,
toned were SO cold that all birds In
Central and Southern Europe took
refuge in the chimneys. At Brescia,
Mr.. Swanson says, the three days are
celebrated with a feast called: II giorni
della merla," meaning the feast OF the
transformation Of the bird.
