Few mothers and teachers are
aware that there is such help for
them in the home and school life,
as is to be found in the study Of
Frrbol's wonderful system. The
following facts place this study Of
child-culturc upon the broad basis
Of a science.
1st: The child bears within him
self instincts which can be trained
upward or downward.
Ind: These instincts give caily
manifestation Of their existence.
Bird: The mothers loving guid-

Of time, cite the fact that when armies
ore marching, orders are given to stop
the music before the troops reach tho
bridge, especially If the structure be
cne built on the suspension plan. But
this is not done because there Is any
danger to the bridge on account OF the
vibrations caused by the music, but be-
cause the measured tread Of o vast
number Of men keeping step would
subject the structure to greater
btrain than an irregular agitation. The
reason Of this Is obvious. The bridge
suffers least strain when at rest When
in uniform motion throughout all Its
parts it acquires momentum equal TO
The entire suspended weight multiplied
by the velocity Of such motion. This
being the case it is clear that uniform

to the Happiness OF Others, But the
Third Man Without Doubt Took
the Cake.

Once upon q time the cadi gave out
that he wished to discover and re-
ward the subject who had contrib

kind during the previous year, and
hundreds ct young and old men
gathered about him to be questioned.
"Well," queried the great man of
the first whom he questioned, what
have you done to deserve the re-
ward?"

'That's pretty good" replied the
cadi, "and you will doubtless obtain
the reward. Stand aside, however,
while Iquestion the next. !"
20, cadi," said No. 2 as he came
to the front, ''you must recall how

WUCHANG'S HOSPITAL.
It Was Built by President Seth
Low and His Brother.
Tho Buildings Arc But Story tn Height
and Werc Planned to Harmon
izo with Their Oriental
Surroundings.

President Seth Low Of Columbia
college and his brother, Abbott Au-
gustus Lew, of this city and Brook
ayn,. says the New York Herald,
have Just built and presented to the
mission station Of the Protestant
Episcopal church in Wuchang,
China, o hospital for the use of the
mission and the people of the town.
It was erected to perpetuate the
memory OF their father, the late Abiel
Augustus Low, who was for many
years one of the leading merchants
In Canton.
The new building is called St.
Peters hospital. Although the
building has been in course Of con-
struction for many months, and it
was occasionally alluded to in the
correspondence of missionaries in
China with the board OF missions in
this city, no member Of the board
knew the identify Of those who fur
nished the money for its erection un-
til o short time ago, when Bishop
Graves, of Shanghai, disclosed the
names Of the donors.
Wuchang is situated in the prov
ince of Hupeh, on the Yang-tsei
river, and is six hundred miles from
Shanghai. It has population OF
25O, 900, and is surrounded by o wall
thirty feet high and nine miles in
circumference.
The new st. Peters hospital, with
its group of separate buildings, has
been so planned as to harmonic
with its oriental environment. The
buildings were made but single
story in. height in Difference to the
sentiment of the Chinese, who are
opposed to buildings with stairways.
The style of architecture is the COM
posite, the roofs having the tent
like curves of the better class OF
Chinese houses. On account OF the
intense heat of the months OF sum-
mer each building is surrounded by
q broad veranda.
The institution will furnish &C.
commodations for twenty-four per-
manent patients. The administra-
.tlon building and operating and re-
iception rooms have been supplied
with the most modern furnishings
aud appliances for the welfare OF the
inmates and the comfort of the staff
of physicians and attendants. Part
of the furnishings and fine micro
scope are gifts from St. Georges
church, this city, OF which Mr. Low
Is an eotIye member.

SNAKE POISON.
DR.. Calmette's Interesting Experiments IN
Inooulating Rabbits with Pure Venom.

DR.. Calmette's Interesting Experiments IN
Inoculating Rabbits with Pure Vonom.
"I have taken lot Of rabbits" said
the doctor, "and inoculated them with
one milligramme each Of pure snake
venom, the amount being several times
more than mortal dose. These have
treated with serum Of varying
strength, the lowest being from rab.
bit inoculated with four milligrammes
pnd the highest from rabbit inocu-
lated with twenty-six milligrammes OF
pure venom" quotes McClure's Maga-
zine.
"Four milligrammes Of venom Is Q
mortaldose for ten pounds Of rabbits
and twenty-six milligrammes would
suffice to cause death among sixty. 1t
gave me, consequently, very power
full serum. The longer the time after
the incubation the stronger was the
grade Of serum used upon the poi
soned subjects. Thus, after twenty
minutes, ! successfully arrested the ae-
ton OF the poison with the weakest
serum, while the strongest saved the
rabbit after the lapse Of an hour and q
half. Those not treated therapeuticol-
ly died in two hours.
II find, generally speaking, about
five cubic centimeters OF the serum
from one milligramme are necessary to
mako tho animal proof against one
milligramme Of pure venom also
find that can use three distinct spe-
ciflcs In vaccinating a rabbit, and, by
all analogy, q man, against the bite Of
the most poisonous snake or as an anti
dote after they have been bitten.
These are, first, the serum from an en-
venomed animal by itself; secondly,
this serum mixed with chloride Of gold
or the hypochlorite of sodium or OF
lime, and, thirdly, either Of these
chemicals, or, preferably, chloride of
lime, used by themselves without
serum.
II have not inoculated any man
against snake-bites as yet. That is a
matter for tho future. I must, Of
course, determine how long tho. i'm
munity obtained by incubation en-
dures In tho system before venturing
to make any predictions in that direc-
ton. My sole aim thus fur has been to
devise some means Of saving persons
already bitten or in danger OF being
bitten and have no reason to doubt
the value of my results; and hope and
believe that the terrible death-ron Of
twenty-five thousand persons per an
mum in India killed by the cobra may
be appreciably diminished when we
get to work there"
"What about scorpions, tarantulns
and centipcdesP"
VI have not undertaken them as yet
but see no reason why their venom,
which is less important than that Of
the snakes, should not yield to the
same treatment ~

Yours, always truly,

MedIcal Work IN Oil the Cnlnese
missions of the interior is carried
on under great difficulties on account
of the suspicious nature OF the peo-
pie, who are apt to attribute any un-
fortunate event to the wicked mach
nations of the foreigners or the
malign influences of evil spirits.
Especially is this the case when
surgical operations are Necessary.
Despite these obstacles, however,
considerable medical work was done
during the last year OF Wuchang
mission.
At the dispensary there was an
attendance OF III, $40, while 1876 per-
sons were admitted as in-patients;
$50 minor operations and ll9 seri-
Gus ones were performed; 168 pa
tients were attended at home, the
majority being for opium poisoning.

Oliver Wendell Homes Makes tho Ao'

Another anecdote Of Oliver Wendell
Holmes. When he was in England In
1886 he found himself on one occasion
OF a "crush" in London among great
mass of people, including several royal
personages. He sat quietly in corner,
but presently, feeling little faint,
and observing refreshments in the dis
tance, he turned to an elderly parsonage
standing near, whom he supposed to
be butler or something Of that kind.
and a.sked for harmless beverage.
The supposed servant brought this
with great a1acrity, and renarked: u

The autocrat of the breakfast table
was little taken aback, and the stran.
ger added: II am Prince Christian

to the Joke. 81 have not had much ac'
ouaintance with princes, and, do you
know, I took you for the waiter" AT
this Prince Christian went off Into

lmPuLslvE AND GENEROUS.
Gen. Franks Broad-Hearted Way Of
Dealing with His Men.

Gen. Franks Broad-Hearted Way Of
Dealing with His Men.
Geu. Franks, a leader of many o
dariog charge in India, held q
unique position among his soldiers.
They loved him for his courage, but
were sometimes irritated by bis
strictn~s. Yet, says the Youths
Companion, in spite of this exacting
severity, he was unexpectedly leni.
ent when q large occasion demanded
it,
One day when the regiment was
''fring blank" a bullet whistled past
him. He did not stop the firing,
but when the number Of rounds
ordered had been completed, he rode
up to the line and said;
"Boys, there's q bad shot In the
Tenth. He nearly shot my trum-
peter, and what should I have said
to that boys mother? I don't want
to know the blackguard's name.
The officers will not examine the
mems pouches.
This was on the eve of campaign,
and before action the senior major
came to him and said: Don't put
yourself in front Of the regiment to-
morrow, sir. You know there are
always one or two bad men in o
regiment.
''Thank you, major" was the re-
ply. Its very kind OF you. /
might have given you step"
When the Tenth was drawn up for
the final advance, he put himself at
its head and called:
"Boys, I'm tould ye mane to shoot
me to-day. Take my advice, and
don't shoot Tom Franks till the
foighting's done, for ye won't find q
better man to lade YEP
The regiment answered with o
cheer, and carried the Sikh batteries
with the bayonet, rather than run
the risk of shooting the beloved old
fire.eater at their head.

The First of the New Electric Plant
Water Reservoirs Completed
Yesterday.

When it comes to throwing dirt-for
building water storage reservoirs Col.
j. B. Brady, of the local water company,
feels quite at home.
AS already announced in these columns,
the Santa Fe Water g. Improvement
company has let the contract for putting
in l5O-horse power electric plant to be
run by water power. Two new water
storage reservoirs are to be built to
operate this plant. The first of these,
half way between the city and the big
reservoir, was finished last evening. 1t is
to hold 100000 gallons of water. The
original estimate provided, for the &C.
complishment of this task, the employ.
ment of ten mule teams working two
weeks, but Col. Brady worked only seven
teams and completed the job in nine
days, and very substantial piece Of
work it is. On the second reservoir
work will commence at once, as it is the
intention to have the new electric plant
in operation by the time the legislature
meets.
