,uxhctly the same objection might, un-
fortunately, be argued against the use
of chloroform. Under the influence Of

children falling into deep slumber,
while Others cough, sputter and strug-

difficulty TO breathe. Prussic acid, iu.
diciously administered, acts about ten
times as quick, and wourali, the arrow
poison of the South American Indians,
is said to produce sort OF lethargy
which in less than i've minutes hogresses
from feeling of languor to loss Of con-
seriousness; still it may be questioned If
anything but old age can cause such I

An Indian Drink.

The greatest curse of the Southwestern
tribes is their fondness for .tiswin,o an
alcoholic drink made by fermenting corn
When under its influence the males abuse
their families, murder their friends, and
commit other crimes which render them
liable to the law, and fearing punishment
they abondon the reservation to Join
some hostile band. 1t is next to impos-
sible to break up all "tiswin " bouts, but
by using Indian police much can be done
to lessen their frequency. 1t is danger
GUS duty and may be compared to the
pursuit OF smoonshiners " in the South.
A drunken Indian does not listen to
reason, and has lost his own, so when the
police approach, all the rifles, knives, and
other weapons he can lay his hands on
are brought into use, aud he is seldom
confined without bloodshed. II New York

BABY 1NcUBAToRs.
A Continuance for Preserving the
Lives of Weak Infants. 4

The couveuso' in the Women's
Medical College is an institution much
in demand 1t is occupied constantly
by some tiny tenant that is not strong
enough to live in the open air, and it
was not long ago that duplicate "cou-
yeuse'' had to be imported from Paris.
The two are now in full operation, turn
lug out Wholesome babies.
The French word couveuse" means
"a brooder." which is applied to the
little Incubator in which weak infants
are put until they grow strong enough to
live like common babies and breathe the
air Of the rest of mankind. 1t is very
simple apparatus, easily made, easily
manipulated, and serves an excellent pur-
pose. 1t is plain hardwood box, 2Sx
s0Nl5 inches in Dimensions. Six inches
from the bottom there is a floor through
which there is an opening made, about
three inches wide, across the foot end.
On this floor the nest for the little tenant
is made of a thick bat of cotton, covered
with the softest flannel. The top of the
box fits tightly, and ia made of glass.
AT the head end of the box there is an
open register, three inches in diameter,
which admits the air into the lower
chamber of the "couveuse.
This air passes over five bottles of hot
water placed in the basement apartment,
and goes up through the opening in the
door at the foot. At this opening three
good-sized sponges are suspended on a
wire. The sponges are kept damp, and
moisten the air which comes up from off
the hot bottles. Over the head of the
baby lisa little chimney in the top of the
lid, through which this air passes out.
In this chimney is little tin indicator,
which is moved constantly by the cur
rent of air. When it stops, the attend
ing nurse knows that the circulation Of
the air has been shut off.
There was baby In the "couveuse"
last night, and 1t looked as happy on its
bat of cotton as bird would in its
nest. The temperature is kept any.
where from 500 to 800, according to the
strength of the infant, the weaker ones
having the hotter surroundings. When
the head nurse lifted the little fellow out
Of its warm moist bed, it kicked about
in very lively fashion.
This pioneer baby incubator was
brought from Paris over q year ago, aud
1t has never been without an occupant.
The new one is also in constant use.
Not single infant that has been brought
up in either Of them has died and there
have been great many housed there.
The treatment must be very wholesome,
for the head nurse said that the average
increase in the weight of the infants is
about thirty grains daily. Il Philadelphia
