Precautions against Cholera Morbus, Sum
mer Diarrhea and Dysentery.

All ofthese well Known diseases occur
principally during the summer and
autumn
Cholera Morbus is caused by i'm.
proper food and sudden chilling of the
body after exposure to great heat.
Certain substances will produce it in
certain persons, such for instance as
veal, raw milk taken with fish, or shell
fish, and all dishes cooked with milk,
such as rice pudding, cream puffs and
even Ice cream, 'chen kept too long.
Unnpe and over-ripe fruit, especially
II taken with large draughts of ice
water, will also cause it. But sound,
npe fruit is natural food in hot
weather, and wholesome. Avoid be-
coming chilled during sleep. In a
climate as changeable as ours, a hight
blanket should always be at hand, to
De drawn up in case it suddenly be-
comes cold during the night. Persistent
SUMMER DIARRHGA is usually caused
Dy malaria, sewer air or impure water.
lhe conditions liable to contaminate
air and water should be carefully
sought out and remedied as indicated
In Speaking of Asiatic cholera. The
water can be rendered safe by boiling.
AS DYSENTERY is often epidemic, it is
WISE to consider every case as pos
slole source of danger to others, and
10 dlslnfect the discharges with the
same care and in the same manner as
already directed for those of Asiatic
cholera.

A TOUCHING STORY.

The order had been issued to Paris in 1871 by the new republican authorities that communist insurgents who were talk en with arms in their hands should be put to death immediately. So writes 8 French correspondent. The order was being relentlessly executed, when, in the garden of the Elysee Palace, detach ment of republican troops came upon g small band of insurgents. Among them was boy of 15 years, still in short trous CTS.
 The band was conducted to a larger party of communists destined for execu. tion. On the way the fifteen-year- old broke out from among his companions and placed himself in front of the colone who commanded the escort. Making the military salute with good deal of grace he said:
 Mister, you're going to shoot me, suppose?"
 Certainly, my lad," said the colonel "Taken with arms in your hands, it's all up with you. That is the order.''
 "All right!" said the boy, "but see here, live in Miromesnil street, where my mother is concierge in house. She'll wait for me if I don't come home, and she'll worry great deal. I just want to go home and quiet her a bit, you know and then, again, live got my watch here I'd like to give it to my mother, so shell have as much as that, anyway. Come colonel, let me run home little while. give you my word of honor I'll come back to be shot!''
 The colonel was struck with astonish ment at the boys demand. It also bega1 to amuse him a good deal.
 "You give me your word of honor, eh that you'll return in time to be executed P
 "My word of honor, mister!" "Well, well," said the colonel, "this young scamp has wit as we'll as assurance A rather young rebel to shoot, too! We'll his assurance has saved him. Go home boy!"
 The youth bowed and scampered of "The last we shall see of him." said tn | colonel. Half an hour passed by; the colonel who was now indoors in his headquarters had forgotten, in the press of his terribl business, all about the boy, whom he re garded as having been definitely set free But all at once the door opened, and tn boy communist popped in.
 "Here I am, mister!" he exclaimed 'I saw mamma, told her, gave her tn watch, and kissed her. Now I am ready ]!
 Then the colonel did what p erhaps non but a rough soldier would have done He rose, came over to the boy, seized hin by both ears, led him thus to the doc and kicked him out of it, exclaiming:
 "Get out, you young brigand! Ge back to your mother just as quick as yo can!" | With red face the officer returned t his chair, muttering to his companions a he waved his hand toward party of tn condemned insurgents:
 "So they have their heroes, then-thos scoundrels!''

YAwN1NG AS A REMEDY.

According to current ideas, yawning in good society is an improper sign of weari-. ness according to the teachings of physi- ology, it is long drawn, forcible inspira- ton followed by shorter respiration; according to Dr. Naegeli, it is one of na- ture's many remedies, the proper applica- tion of which depends upon good judg- ment.
 In yawning, not only the muscles which move the lower jaw are used, but also the breathing muscles of the chest, and he who yawns to his hearts content also raises and extends the arms. In the deepest inspiration the chest remains ex- tended for short time, the eyes are al- most or entirely closed, the ears some what raised, the nostrils dilated. Inside the mouth, the tongue becomes round and arched, the palate stifiy stretched, and the uvula is raised, almost entirely clos ing the space between the nose and throat. At the beginning of the inspiration a cracking noise in the ears, proof that the duct leading to the hearing also suc- cumbs to this stretching.
 If the yawning has reached the deepest point, it will require from one to one and half seconds for it to become noticeable to the hearing. In order to observe this, let one place himself at a sufficient dis tance from 8 clock, so that it's ticking will not be easily heard, and yawn deep- ly. During this deep breathing the sound of the clock is not perceptible to the most careful listening. All this simply goes to show that yawning sets 8 number of muscles to work, and particularly those which are not directly subject to the will.
 Although one yawning does not present very agreeable appearance, it is very agreeable to himself, for the stretching of the muscles causes a feeling of con- fort; it acts like massage, and is the most natural gymnastics of the lungs imagina- ble. pr. Naegeli, therefore, advises peo- pie not to concern themselves with so- called decency, but every morning and evening, and as often as possible, to exer- else the lungs and all the muscles of res- piration by yawning and stretching, as many chronic lung troubles may thus be prevented.
 Dr. Naegeli orders the patient troubled with too much wax in the ear, accompa- nied with pain, to yawn often and deeply. The pain will soon disappear. He also, in case of nasal catarrh, inflammation of the palate, sore throat, and earache, or ders the patient as often as possible dur ing each day to yawn from six to ten times successively, and immediately after ward to swallow. The result will be sm- prising. If one looks upon yawning as a natural massage for certain organs, he will reach @ satisfactory explanation of it's curative properties.
