HYGIENE.

Hor WNrER.-A recent issue Of a medi-
cal journal says that in most emergencies
hot water is the very best remedy possi-
bic. "A strip of flannel or napkin folded
lcngthwise dipped in hot water and wrung
out and then applied around the neck OF
child that has the Group will usually
bring relief i'm ten minutes A towel
folded several times and wrung out OF hot
water and applied over an aching tooth or
throbbing neuralgia will usually AFFORD

promptly cuts short a congestion OF the
lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as hot
water thoroughly and promptly applied.

DON'r NEGLECT CoLD.-During change
able weather of the spring little chill
dren are exceedingly likely to take sud
den colds. Nothing requires more careful
watching than such colds, which in a few
hours may develop from apparently
harmless symptoms into the most alarm
ing form of throat or lung disease. DO
not for a moment neglect such a cold or
any cold in n young child. Keep the little
one within doors and properly clad, being
sure that its feet and the vital parts Of its
body are well protected with tlannels. A
Simple remedy for a cold is n teaspoOnful
of syrup of ipecaC dissolved in glass Of
cold water and administered by the tea
spoonful every hour. If there seems to
he any hoarseness in the breathing, a
flannel cloth dipped in camphorated oil
and heated quite hot and laid across the
chest, with a number of pieces of flannel
to keep in the heat, will often give relief.
II should be renewed frequently.
Special care should always be taken
not to expose the child to draughts or in
any way by which a fresh cold may be
taken while this medicine is gwen. The
perspration induced by this, and almost
any medicine administered for cold,
renders the patient doubly sensitive to
draughts or any change of temperature.
A simple cold in the head and throat may
Gifted be eased by rubbing the nose and
throat with camphorated oil. If this is
not convenient, mutton tallow, or simple
olive oil, with a few drops of camphor
sprnkled in it, will answer the same pur-
pose. In case of cold, give the child as
much nourishing food at its meals as it
will take. The system is in a weakened,
debilitated condition, and may often be
completely rallied by rich, wholesome,
Stimulating food.

Mrs. rield ON Rudyard Kipilng.

Correspondence chicago Times.
Mrs Justice Field is woman of broad
views and widespread knowledge of the
the world. From her long residence in
the far West she has become imbued with
that largeness of mind and breadth of
character so characteristic of the Coun-
try, and her judgment is consulted upon
all matters relating to disputed questions
either of social or literary topics.
81 think that there is too much of our
modern literature that relates TO subjects
with which we have nothing in common.
Many read book simply because it is the
rage without feeling the least interest in
the work itself. Take, for instance, the
writings of Rudyard Kipling. There are
few of them but what relate to life in
India, and most of those who read his
books know or care nothing whatever of
the customs or people described.
There is little diversity in the pictures
he draws, and were not his writings by
chance the fashion few would take the
time to peruse them. Personally ] never
trouble myself to wade through novel
simply because Others do the thing
can generally tell whether will enjoy O
book by hasty glance, and if ! find the
subject uninteresting throw it aside with
out further thought, as | consider it 9
sheer waste of valuable time to drudge
through a work that gives me neither
pleasure nor profit.

this ground, made memorable by one OF

Three Women.

Go into one of our cities at night, see
painted horror that leers at you out of the
shadow, or walks shamelessly under the
arc light. DO you suppose there is any
pleasure left in sin for herr Is that going
too far down? Take then that other
painted horror the old society woman, the
one who is perfectly respectable. Is any
old age more despicable, at once, and
pitiabe than that of pleasure-loying,
plcasure.seeking woman? Compare her
with some sanity old mother i'm Israel,
who has lived upon the pleasures that are
found at Gods right hand and in the per-
formance of duty. Take her hand in
yours and look at ii reverently. 1t is not
beautiful you say? OH yes, sir, il is beau
tiful. That wrinkled, trembling hand
has ministered in the house, has labored
for the poor and sick, has washed the
saints feet 1t never wore diamond
ring, but it is a holy hand a beautiful
hand. Look at her face. Homely? Yes,
but oh, how peaceful and sweet Her
life work is done. Henceforth there is
laid up for her crown of righteousness
which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall
give her on that day. But who ever saw
sinner come to a peaceful old age? The
devil has no sweet old peope.-Dr Scl,o.

TO TAME ULYSSES.
Or. T. w. McGinn Trying to Conquer y
nIan-Eating stallion.

FJ0m me chicago NtuS.
A decidedly novel attempt to tame a
man.eating stallion is taking place at
Grand Ridge, Ill., in which balloon is
one of the prominent factors.
The stallion Ulysses, which is the prop
erty of Il. II. Poundston, has been beyond
human control FOR four years and has al
ready killed three men and crippled sew
eral others who attempted to handle it.
The plan adopted by DR.. 4. w McGnn,
who proposes to succeed or perish in the
attempt is to have q ballOOnist ascend
over the paddock i'm which the ami
NAL is confined. The balloon will be held
stationary by ropes while the stallion is
lassoCd.
Dr. McGnn, who claims to be the
worlds champion horse-tamer, will then
enter the paddock and make an applica-
tion of his will power in conjunction with
certain mechanical Contrivances. If the
beast proves too refractory at first he will
be huisted off the ground and made to
realize his helplessness in a combat
against science and human pluck.
The stallion, which is valued at Sl,SO0
has been purchased by DR.. McGlinn for
500, under the proviso that he shall take
the animal away from the town.
