MASSAGE IN PNEUMONIA.
An Important Medical Discovery, In tn.
Opinion of Physician.

An Important Medical Discovery, In the
Opinion of Physician. ;
A regular practitioner of Natchez,
Miss, has contributed paper to the
New Y ork Medical Record, in which he
makes clear the decided benefits to be
derived from manipulation" in cases
of severe coughs, even in cases severe
enough to assume the dreaded form of
pneumonia. The doctor who contrib
utes the paper does not employ the
terms the public would employ I'M
der similar circumstances in describ-
ing the treatment. Possibly dread
of the censure of his professional
brethren deters him from the use of
term employed by men who do not
recognize the code of ethics which the
Natchez doctor perforce recognizes.
Manipulation" is the word Dr. Met
calf of Natchez uses. Massage" is
the word any newspaper writer
would employ, and by it the public
would better understand what was
meant.
DIR. Metcalfe speaks of the treat
ment after 25 years of laborious OBJ
servations. He says: II have reach
ed point where do not dread as
formerly to encounter case of pneu-
monia, nor does hacking cough in
a consumptive patient alarm me. An
asthmatio struggling for breath ana
the patient with bronchitis that
keeps one awake all night do not de7
ter me from promising relief in half
an hour, so that the former can lie
down to rest, and the latter pass the
day and night without any distress
ing cough. :"
The writer of the paper insists that
! much of a cough with it's attendant
evils is external rather than inter
nall. O., the exciting cause is in the
muscular surroundings of the bron-
chial tubes and lungs rather than in
the tubes and lungs. In an expert
ence running through 25 years he
had found that the promptest way to
diagnose case O. pneumonia and to
enable the sufferer to throw off the
poisonous mucus clogging the lung
cells was by the manipulation Of
those parts affected, the muscular
parts about the lungs. The relief of
coughs that seem confined to the
throat had also been effected in the
same way. AS proof of the truth of
his position DR.. Metcalfe cites several
cases of cure under his personal SUI
pervision where not drop of medi-
cine had been employed. Some of
the pneumonia cases he had wit
messed had been experienced by men
more than so years old, and recovery
had been brought about by manipu-
lation.
i The method Of manipulation, he
says, is simple. 1t consists of a firm
pressure upon the painful part of the
chest by the tips of the fingers, the
latter being at the same time made
to move the skin in circular direc-
zion within the area of the pressure.
The doctor says that in pneumonia
he generally perseveres with this
} manipulation until expectoration
takes place. The information thus
contributed ought to prove valuable,
if remembered and an application
made of it promptly, in cases where
physicians are remote, where life is
staked on prompt action. Even the
laity, under such circumstances,
might be able to save life.-Cincin-

father was much attached to her, and

uon-one of the principal founders of the
London university-he was never con-
tent unless he had also secured his young
country woman, Marian Evans. for he
himself was a Warwickshire man. On
these occasions. from 1851 to 1855, she
used TO wear black velvet, then seldom
adopted by unmarried ladies.
/ can see her descending the great
staircase of our house in Saville row

mother, among the group of remarkable
men, politicians and authors of the first
literary rank. She would talk and laugh
softly and look up into my fathers face
respectfully. while the light of the great
half lamp shone on the waving masses
of her hair, and the black velvet fell in
folds about her feet. But for the deliber-
ate casting away of her social chances
when she left for Germany with Mr..

achieved a very great position in the

A PhiIanthropic Woman.

The Boston Transcript pays the fol-
lowing tribute 10 the late Mrs. Hemen-
way: 1T was her patriotism that saved
the Old South meeting house and estab-
lished and maintained there the histori-
cal courses which continue to teach the
young the beauty and the worth of
American institutions and monuments.
1t was her faith in the spirit of modern
education of mind and body that has es-
tablished kindergartens and womens
gymnasiums and made the training of
the hand in Sloyd complete the school
work of Boston. To enumerate the de-
partments of work which Mrs. Hem
enway endowed or aided is almost to
catalogue the subjects associated with
progressive education in Boston. Her
support of American archaeological re-
search is noted. and the summer when a
number of Zuni Indians were guests at
her house at MISUNDERSTANDING is
historical i'm more ways than one. The
administration of her fortune during her
lifetime was always one of conscious
trusteeship for the good of her country
and her time. AS far as possible she
eliminated the personal element from her
benefcence and considering it simply
service liked nothing less than to be
publicly associated with her gifts. But
no one ever reaped unsought a heartier
harvest of affection and gratitude than
Mrs. Hemenway."

II !. the Hour of Maturity.

The bread and butter miss. the COM
paratively inexperienced maiden-nay,
even the very young matron, is hopeless
ly "out of it, at the present. 1t is the
hour of maturity, and the woman has
triumphed over the girl. She may now
be anything over thirty TO hold sway.
provided always that she keeps herself
thirty in heart and face. She must have
the power to attract. She must possess
tact and judgment, and then she can
snap her fingers at time and boldly set
down what she likes on the census pa
per. At all events, she need no longer
dread the attainment of her third decade,
for it is then that her reign begins. Not
until then does she begin to understand
the management of man. He does not
want to be regarded as a schoolgirl 5
ideal to live on bliss and kisses and
externally play the jeune premier. He
wants companionship. ne wants To have
his faults recognized and openly dis
cussed, and he knows that with her rip
ened experience the woman will not ex-
pect too much Of him or invest him with
a halo of romance; neither has she mere
matrimonial designs upon him. So has
she outrivaled her younger sisters, even
her own daughters, and thus need she
no longer fear the taking of the census
and the revelation of her age.-Lady' s

A PInN Garment.

! wish to describe a very useful little
garment which j have made for my little
three-year-old boy, and which has
proved itself practical by trial. He is
still wearing dresses. and / found that
every time he went out of doors to play
during the present wet or snowy
weather he always came in with his
dress and skirts very wet around the
bottom. So 1 made overpants out of an
old gossamer waterproof. and now he
can run anywhere with his little boots.
The long overcoat hides all peculiarities.
For a child of three years they should
be about three-quarters of a yard long
from top to bottom. Each leg should be
q little fuller at the top than at the
bottom, say thirty-six inches around
the top of each leg and thirtytwo
around the bottom, in order to have
plenty of fullness for the dress and
skirt. as the trousers are expected to be
worn over all the regular clothes. Make
each leg separately until you come to
the inside seam, stitch that up nine
inches, then join the two legs together
on one side and leave the opposite side
open. Gather top and bottom into
bands.
/ am so pleased with my invention
that / intend to have my little boy use
it after he goes into pants, if he goes
out in the deep snow.-BabyhoOd.

Memory and Pluck Were Good.

Miss Sara jeanette Duncan, the author
of IAN American Girl in London" "A
Social Departure" etc, possesses quite
as much pluck as she does literary abil-
ity. In common with all other neophytes
she submitted much of her early work TO
one of New York's famous magazines,
only to have 1t promptly returned, and
this continued TO be the case after she
had made her mark elsewhere. Some
time after she had ceased to besiege the
magazine, however. she received a let
ter from one of its new editors asking
her the favor OF a contribution. Miss
Duncan. with all the serenity at her
command, sent the sweetest little note in
reply, in which she contrived to state
very clearly, however. that after SO
many years of disapproval from the
magazine at large she could not think of
imposing upon the leniency and good
nature of its new editor-Chicago Post.

A Happy Woman.

A woman with a happy disposition is
far more to man as a wife than the
woman with a great fortune, for riches
take wings. Worldly prosperity has a
way of altering, and if once money
vanishes the gloomy individual does
naught but sit down and weep, having
no word Of encouragement for the hus-
band, on whom the blow falls most
heavily. The happy dispOsiuoned wife
will accept matters as they are i'm "A
sweet spirit Of cheerfulness that endows
her husband with new zeal and causes
him to look upon her as the guiding
star of his existence. If God has not
given you such disposition, cultivate
it. far as possible II does no good
to brood over ones troubles. 1t doesn't
help matters out a bit. Be ON the look
out for bright rays. and you will GER

plain than pretty she is often thought
very pretty, because her manners are so
fine and her understanding is so clear
that she neglects no one and is consider

a Typical Summer Costume.

A typical cotton gown that might be
worn at any hour of the day or at any
summer daytime function is OF soft
zephyr which makes up so well, does
not wrinkle and may, with care. be worn
an entire summer, writes Isabel a.
Mallon in an eXquisitely illustrated page
of BLACK and White Costumes in the
April Ladies' Home Journal. The skirt
Is rather close-ftting until just above
the knees. where it is apparently cut off,
and a deep, full flounce added to it, The
heading of this flounce is formed by the
gathering. and from under this gather
ing falls a flounce Of coarse white lace,
headed by a narrow black satin ribbon
which seems to be twisted. At regular
intervals it is caught by tiny black
ribbon rosette. The bodice is round
one with a plain back. and the material
cut so that the pointed effect 1 referred
to is achieved. One side of the front is
quite plain and the other side is very
full. not fitted at all, but drawn over in
folds across the bust and fastened low
down on the other side. The gloves
worn with this gown are black and the
parasol plain black silk one. The bon
net is a dainty one of black and white.

Cold Hands and Feet in Children.

Many children, though apparently in
very fair health, habitually have cold
hands and feet. This is indeed such a
common occurrence that i'm many in
stances it hardly eXcftes the attention of
those to whom the care of the children
is intrusted. Even IL it does strike the
observer as rather unusual il is gener-
ally dismissed with casual comment as
of no particular Importance. This in
difference is regarded as a serious error
by DR.. Flint of the Presbyterian hospital
of New York. He asserts that persist
emily cold hands and feet are the in
failible index of disorder in the bodily
mechanism or deterioration in vital
fluids. Indigestion, nervous excitement,
imperfect circulation and impure blood
are named as the unnatural conditions
capable of giving rise to cold hands and
feet-BabyhOOd

Although the little woman who is now
lovingly remembered as Jennie Welsh
Carlyle was. i'm a different way, quite as
intellectual as her husband. she con-
tinually subOrdinated her life to his.
However, she was not always content
10 play second fiddle where the con-
versa don was concerned.
She did once confess, in a familiar
chat with a friend, II can't bear to be
thought of as only Mr.. Carlyle's wife -
and that unwillingness was chiefly pat
ent in talk at her own fireside.
She was ready to tell before folks
anecdotes which rendered Mr.. Carlyle
ever so slightly ridiculous, and his I'M
ceasing Inconsistencies gave her rich OPP
portunity for such betrayal.
The contrast between his doctrine of
the sacredness of silence and his own
incessant talk was very tempting, and
his wife could not resist comment on
the difference between her husband S
preachment and practice.
Once, when he was declaiming on the
foolishness of travel and the general de-
STABILITY of staying where you are, the
little lady silenced him by quoting one
of his own favorite translations:
To give room for wandering is it
That the world was made 50 wide?
Mrs. Carlyle was too bright and clever
talker not to enjoy practicing her
gift, but she naturally shone more in
conversation when her husband was abb

guests at the little house in Chelsea, the

was a crossfire Of conversation which
sadly irritated Carlyle.

Women Who Are overvorked.

Custom demands too much from the
women of today" said the speaker. Il
believe that the first duty of a woman
is TO understand herself-her physical
self Once she takes the trouble TO
learn the use of the organs given to her
she can never be foolish enough to allow
them to grow unhealthy through neg
lect. Women should be more independ-
ent and should not get foolish ideas of
duties Because your neighbor enter
tains and gives large dinenrs that is no
reason why you should do the same.
There may be many reasons why ii is
better for you not to do So The point
/ wish to make here is that II is foolish
for a woman to tire herself out physi-
cally in order TO keep up with custom
and conventionality. Neither is il worth
IT, Yet see how many women wear
themselves TO death rather than fall
short I'm some little duty which they feel
they owe to society," By doing these lit
tie things a woman too often renders
herself an invalid for life, whereby she
is forever a burden to her friends. Is
this right? I don't think so. 1t is not
the invalids who are to be pitied; they
always have an endless number of peo-
pie who will look after them. Ny SYM

have to care for such persons.
