Heat in India.

Biackwood's Magazine.
The handling of a gun after the
sun had played upon it for an hour
or two, was sufficiently warm
work when done in gingerly fash
ion, and with the least possible
contact with the metal of barrel or
trigger guard; the sudden clutch
ing of a barrel suggested collision
with the wrong end of a red-hOt
poker.
And the thirst! when once the
man who is out in that heat yields
to the temptation of his water, or
cold tea, or lime juice and water
bottle, he is thereafter for the rect
of that day a lost creature, the
slave of any fluid with which he
can wet his parching lips and allay
his Unsuitable thirst.
Then would he drink kerosene,
or ink, or sherry at eighteen pence
quart, or any other abomination
that possessed in his view, the in
dispensable qualifications of being
liquid. So, too, will the natives
the mahouts and others-descend
from the elephants and drink
greedily from any fetid pool,
though death be in the cup.

Music q Medicine.
Chambers Journal.

Chambers Journal.
At the st. Pancras Infirmary
there was a female patient suffer-
ing from melanChOlia, to whom
they played a lullaby. After the
performance she told a nurse that
she liked it very much. On this
the superintendent of the infirma-
nv said "This is the first time she
has spoken for fortnight" Short
ly afterward male patient suffer-
ing from delirium tremens was
brought into the ward. On hear
ing the first notes of the music he
became quite calm and attentive,
though his attendant had been half
afraid to bring him on account of
outbreaks of violence.
Results like these have since
been frequently obtained by the
guild, and they are certainly most
encouraging. They are all, it will
be seen, lin the direction of distract
ing the mind from pain and sooth-
ing mental irritation. In order to
test the hypnotic effect of soft
music the guild made the expert
ment of playing lullabies to a
ward of IA patients, along with DR..
Collins, one of the physicians to
the hospital. In spite of distract
ing noises, unhappily inseparable
from the ward of London hospit-
al, they got the following results:
DR.. Collins "found it an effort to
keep awake" four patients were
actually sent to sleep; some "liked
it too well to Sleep" and others felt
"sad, but delighted"

SCORES GROVER

ton Candidate for Governor.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April "a
Senator Morgan spoke here last
night on the political issues of the
day. People were turned away
from the hall. The speech was an
endorsement Of Capt. Joseph F.
Johnston, anti-administration, and
a plea for plenty of silver. The en-
dorsement of Johnston will mate
rally affect the gubernatorial race
in his favor. The Senator devoted
the better part of his speech to the
money question. He said gold and
silver were the natural coin of the
United States and always had been.
He paid a high compliment to
Senator Jones, of Nevada, who
said no knows more about the sill
yer question than any man living.
He read from Jones' speeches on
the silver question, and endorsed
some Of his views. He argued that
the products of the country went
down always in proportion as sill
yer got scarce and the McKinly
bill was great iniquity, but If
America had as much money per
capita as France the people would
not suffer from that same source
had caused the panic of 1875 and
1898, namely: John Sherman,
while Cleveland, the great and good
man, speaks, saw no use in an en-
dOrsement Of his administration
by state convention. The Senator
said he had been importuned to
quit his ideas, but he was proud to
stand where Washington Jefferson
and Jackson stood, and where Ad-
lai Stevenson now stands.
