More cholera in the Stock Exchange yes
tsrday. They were boiling the water II
some of the stocks.
Lord Houghton, the new viceroy of Ire
land, will be able to keep the wolf from
the door If he has good luck. He is rich
himself; in addition, he has handsome
salary; beyond that, his uncle, Lord Crewe,
| allows him $50, 900 year while he IL vice.
| roy. In all, he will have $3.50, 900 q year
to expend. and very brilliant court is ex-
pected at Dublin during his occupancy of
the Office.
There are many good deeds In this
naughty world. In connection with the
recent unveilipg of memorial in honor of
the great gun founder of Essen, Herr Al
fred Krupp, his son Frederick, who has
conducted the business since his fathers
death, placed in the hands of committee
the sum of 500, 900 marks, which is to be
devoted to the erection of 100 small dwell
ings, with nice little gardens, for the use
of the worthiest of the workmen of his
factory when infrmity renders it necessary
for them to cease work.
Those who don't want sblaok eyesn
needn't have them. The Medical Times
gives the following method of preventing
them: There is nothing to compare with q
tincture of strong infusion of oapsicum
annuum, mixed with an equal bulk of
mucilsge or gum arabic and with the addi-
ton of few drops of glycerine. This
should be painted all over the bruised sur
face with cameps hair pencil and allowed
to dry on, a second or third coating being
applied as soon as the frst Is dry. II
done as soon as the injury is inflicted the
treatment will invariably prevent the
blackening of the bruised tissue. The
same remedy has no equal in rheumatic,
core or stiff neck.
They are talking in England about
''our friend the cholera" Harold Fred
eric writes that the i'll wind of cholera
blows abundant good to the English. In
addition to the hosts of people from the
continent who seek refuge there, the
thousands of Americans who are usually
enrichipg continental resorts are now en-
camped in serried legions all over the face
of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
There never has been anything like 1t
since the Norman conquest. London's
hotels literally groan under the weight of
Saratoga trunks. To dine at the Savoy
now or at the Victoria is like being at Del
monico's. Apparently everybody you
know in America Is there.
The New York Times makes a good
point when it advises those afraid of the
cholera to- reflect upon the experience of
the cabin passengers of the Normannia.
Here were some five hundred persons, a
number of them aged or very young or in
i'll health, confined on shipboard for more
than two weeks with sickness and death
from cholera among the steerage passen-
gers and the crew. After their arrival
here the sick and even the bodies of the
dead were not removed for three days.
They were not properly fed; the water srp-
piled to them was insufficient and for a
time of unsafe character. Then they were
exposed for nearly three days to still
greater hardships, 30 that it would seem
that every chance was against them. Not
one OF them contracted the disease.
ALI the new tangled school ideas find |
ready acceptance in Massachusetts, if they
are good for anything. The Concord, idea
of taking children in conveysnces from a
distance to central school building where |
accommodations are provided for all grades |
is being adopted by other towns in eastern
Massachusetts, with gratifying results. In |
some of the townships it has been found
because of their area, to estab- |
lish two large graded schools, and to these |
the children who do not live in the imme- |
dlate vicinity are carried daily. Take, for |
instance, Lexington. The school commit |
mittee had to provide for the transporta- |
ton of 140 of their 800 echool children,
and contracted with livery stable keeper |
to provide four two-horse barges, at a cost |
of 50. 500 for the year. This large outlay |
raised the co It of the new system above the
old to the extent of about 5000 in total ap-
preparation of S14, 1000; but leading citizens
state that the increased cost is generally
felt by the taxpayers to be altogether in
considerable compared with the advan-
tages which have been gained. The barges
arrive at the sohoolhouse at least five min
utes before the session opens, and the chill
dren are fresh to begin their work, and
tardiness. The safety and comfort Of the
little ones in making the journey is also a
consideration with both teachers and pa
rents. Among the other towns that have
followed the example of Concord are Bed
ford, Cohasset and Weston.
