PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.

There is a difference OF opinion
among the ofjce-seekers and Office
holders as tc the Presidents prompt
ness in making appointments. Those
who are in think he is unnecessarily
hasty in making nominations while
those who are out and want to get in
accuse him OF procrastination. Friends
of the President say he should be COM
mended for the very prompt manner
in which he has disposed Of many i'm
portant positions, notwithstanding
the absorption Of much OF his time by
those who are seeking Office and tho
circumspection which the selection Of
proper incumbents imperative!y de-
mands. A Washington correspondent
writes that in addition to his cabinet,
the members of which were chosen
before his Inauguration, the Presi-
dent has made the following Domina-
lions:
Fifteen foreign ambassadors and
ministers, six consul generals, seven
teen consuls, q commissioners Of pat

and an assistant treasurer, an assist

The pittsfal1s of s.Remedies.'

"It would be amusing. remarked a
physician lately, if it were not SO often
disastrous, to watch the pell nell fash
ion in which persons go to remedies and
supposed beneficial health suggestions.
They go to the springs, and because
some mineral spring water is advised IN
some case, they jump at the conclusion
that all spring waters are good for any
case. They drink them wholesale and
indiscriminately often with serious i'll
effects. Exactly the same thing is true
of sea bathing. This is needed tonic
and stimulant to some persons and the
direct reverse to others I have seen deli
cate women come out of the surf with
teeth chattering and faces blue and
pinched in the chill they have received.
That effect of their plunge is distinct
evil and they really need remedy to
recover from the. consequences of one
so-called. 1t is the same with Turkish
baths, bicycling, exercise of any sort.
Reckless and unneeded use of q good
thing makes it bad thing. I am trying
now to recover the vitality of a little
child of four years, which has been lost
through this mothers ignorant treatment
She has almost bathed her child to
death. In her zeal for his cleanliness,
and because she thought frequent baths
the proper thing, she has given him two
a day right along and she has simply
washed his strength away. This is es-
.pecially true of the present time when
every Separate individual may advance
a new notion, and because it is new,
get hearing and perhaps following.
It would be grand thing for the race if
the therapeutical world could develop a
solution of common sense, and have it
ladled out every morning, like Mrs.
Squeers's treacle, to about two-thirds of
the civilized race.
