reason OF It's freedom from entangling
foreign alliances, it's geographical posi-
tion, aud It's enormous resources OF meD,

and choosing; aud II is almost equally
certain that no one Of the great IRON
ciads which the nation has constructed
and is constructing at 80 large an ex-

Three Infection. Disease. a. onos.

DIR. J. T. C. Nash writes to the
British Medical Journal that he re-
Gently had under his care child of
81 years in whom Were developed
within week the following iufec-
tious diseases, in the order named
Whooping coogh, chicken pox, mea-
sles. The incubative period of per
tussis is stated TO be few days; that
of chicken pox TO be variable, and
that OF measles from seven TO ten
days, and the point of interest, the
writer holds, is that three distinct
poisons should flourish in one corpus
vile and come TO full maturity at one
and the same time.

Daudet'a Bette Nolr,

Alphonse Daudet's thorn in the
flesh is the letter writer. No other
novelist, he declares, can be SO pes
tered by unknown correspondents as
he is. Women and young girls are
the chief delinquents, their object in
writing being to get him to use them
as heroines in his next novels. They
invariably inclose photographs. One
of NJ. Daudets admirers, madman,
possibly in confinement, has for
about Is years written regularly to
say that he has caught grasshop-
per, and having taught it the novel
lists name let it go. Another fancy
Of his was to write NJ. Daudet's
name in the snow.-London Stand

The Patient Experiences Relief From tn
FIRST Application.

The Patient Experiences Relief From the
FIRST Application.
In the village of Neuville- Champ
d'Oisel. about nine miles from Rouen,
a malignant type Of diphtheria broke
out. The country doctor, NJ. Fred
eric Flahaut, treated the cases in the
usual way, but the deaths were nu-
merous. Remembering, as he says,
that the English use petroleum as an
antispasmodic and an antiseptic, he
determined to try it as an expert
ment.
His first trial was in the case of a
little girl z years old. He had al
ready given her up and proposed to
the parents to make the experiment,
which consisted in swabbing the
throat with common petroleum. He
had little hope of the success Of his
new method, but to his astonish-
ment he noticed an improvement
after the first application. He con-
tinued the treatment, and the child
recovered. Then he tried it success
fully with his other patients.
This year he had 40 cases Of diph-
liberia to treat, and he was success
full in every one. In order to be per-
fectly sure that the cases in question
were ones of malignant diphtheria,
he had the expectorated matter sub
mitted to the analysis of Professor
Francois Hue of the Rouen College
of Medicine, and the professor re-
ported that he had clearly discovered
the presence in it of numerous bacil-
Ii of diphtheria. Moreover, his dag
nosis was confirmed by Drs. Les
hayes, Lerefrit and Bailey of Rouen,
the last named being the physician
in chief in that city.
The treatment presents little diff
Guilty or danger. The swabbing is
done every hour or every two hours,
according to the thickness of the
membranes, which become, as it
were, diluted under the action of the
petroleum. The brush, after being
dipped into the petroleum, should be
shaken to prevent any drops falling
into the respiratory channels. The
patients experience relief from the
very first application. The disagree
able taste of the petroleum remains
for a few moments only.-Norman-
die Medicale.

A Queer nslnbow Superstition.

The Kurds and Armenians, whose
many folklore stories and tales of
superstitious fancies far exceed those
of the gypsies, have some rainbow
beliefs which are perhaps not duph-
Gated in the popular notions of any
others among the races of mankind.
They hoot at the idea of its being a
witness to Gods covenant with man
that the earth will no more undergo
the ordeal of flood and declare that
it was made for the express purpose
of letting the first man and woman
down from heaven, the man securely
fastened to one end of the great va
riegated band, the woman at the
other. The end of time, according
to the Kurds, will be ushered in by
the appearance of four rainbows,
which will cross at the zenith, fur
nishing eight passageways for God
and his hosts. st. Louis Republic.
