An Antidote for Typhoid Fever.

The duration of typhoid fever is to
be shortened hy ten or twelve days,
SAYS the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
To the medical profession of ST.
Louis must be awarded the credit of
the method of treatment by which
tits boon to suffering humanity is to
be brought about. The trea' ment
consists in the application OF the
pure gall of an OK to the typhoid
stricken patient. This discovery has
been made by DR.. Heine Marks. of
the st. Louis City Hospital, in con-
junction with DR.. Henry Summa,
also of that city.
The OK gall is used upon purely
physiological principles. 1t is fact
well established that for the purpose
of digestion it is an absolute essen
tial to have certain amount of bile
in the intestinal canal. During an
attack OF typhoid fever, as of other
diseases, there is constant waste of
this bile going on. Replace this bile
and you check the disease, and this
can be replaced by OK gall, which is
stated by eminent medical authori-
ties to be natures physiological
antiseptic.

effort annoyed the debtor. It's true
that he light have relieved himself
of the annoyance By paying the debt,
but this method did not occur to
him, apparently. He preferred to
take the question TO court and there
it was decided that MIR. Busby had
violated tie laws regarding the

That our protective tariff on il on
and steel is not needed is shown by
the declaration OF the Bethlehem
Iron Company, of Pennsylvania,
that they have been awarded the
contract for supplying armor for
Russia's new battle-ships, the
Eamount to be supplied being over
10000 tons and worth $4,0OO,OOO.
The contract was awarded, it is
stated, in spite of the fact that the
Bethlehem Company had fourteen
petitors, comprising the manu-
facturers OF armor in England,
France, Italy and Germany. The
''pauper labor" of these countries
failed this time it appears, to enable
them to underbid the American pro
ducers. The cheapness of American
armor when competing abroad can
not fail to interest our Navy Depart

Editorial Correspondence.
At the recent election / had oppor-
tunity to observe the so-called Aus
trallan ballot-system which is now
the law in a majority of the States.
Wherever tried it is very successful;
its advantages are numerous, and
after one trial the opposition which
usually prevails to new methods dis
appears almost completely. Rhode
Island, Massachusetts and New York
have good forms 81 this system of
registration and voting. That of
California combines the advantages
of the law of those States and is
probably the best of them all.
Thinking that the matter may be of
interest to North Carolina readers l
will briefly describe it.
The Australian ballot system re-
quires such a registration of each
voter thatit becomes difficult for one
man to vote another's name. Such
frauds have been practiced in large
cities where personal Identification is
more or less difficult. The entry on
the register must show, besides the
name of the voter and his age, his
height, complexion, color of eyes,
color of hair, visible marks or scars,
if any, and their locality, the country
of nativity, place of residence, date
of registration and postoffice adj
dress.
Under this system a candidate for
Office may be nominated either by a
party convention or by petition. In
the latter case there is required
petition signed by at least three per
cent of the entire vote cast at the
preceding election and each signer
of such petition must add his place
of residence to his signature. All
certificates of nomination are filed
with the Secretary of State or with
the County Clerk.
Ten Gays before election the County
Clerk mails to every voter sample
ballot. All ballot paper is provided

HINTS, ON TEACHING MUSIC.
Children to Read Music as They

Anstrucs Children to Read Music as They
heao Their Primers-Sing Every Tune.
Id point about care in the very first
lnsE 'uction cannot be too strongly en-
| pn ASKED, and that every parent should
aspect his child to lay first a good,
fold, scientific foundation in technique.
} If children were brought up to read
music as they read their primers and
were kept at the pianos as a duty, as
the little Germans are, instead of max
ing practice optional with the child, we
should have n very different musical
! standard in this country
| In some cities the public schools arc
making start in the right direction,
and If suitable and practical system
comes into general use the next genera
ton will be much more musical than
the one now rising. Canadian Musician
| writes:
| L have recently visited schools where
children of were carrying two part
| harmony reading at sight, and doing
| 1t accurately too. This, of course, is all
vocal music. but that is SO essential to
+, any sort Of instrumental music that, if
possible, would teach all my pupils to
| sing before they played note, and
I then, combining the two, they should
sing every tune they learned to play
Unfortunately, as yet, people are not
willing to wait for all that, so we have
to begin in the middle and work both
ways, with infinitely more pains to
teacher and scholar.
The practice of learning good music
by heart is commendable, but it may be
! carried too far. For instance, I know q
| young girl who commits everything she
| learns, even to etudes and Bach fugues
J AS she Is studying all the time, she nat
| urally cannot keep them all in practice,
and SO it is only few of her latest at
tempts that she ever can play, while the
habit of playing without her notes so
| constantly makes her a very indifferent
reader, SO that she scarcely can manage
anything not recently committed
! l think it should be considered a part
of liberal education to know the theory
Of music as thoroughly as any other
branch of science and the history of il
| as well as ancient history, or the history
of art, even if one mover practices
| enough to become performer This is
really the least noticed of any of the de-
| partments of music. Some may think it
enough merely to execute without know
ing anything about it, but it should be
reversed. Everybody should know and

much as is necessary to that knowledge
| and then the few should execute in

A NUMBER of the members of the
South Carolina Legislature made
fools of themselves the other day by
opposing a resolution to invite the
President to visit that body before
his departure from the State. 1t
seems they did NOT have sense enough
to see that the courtesy sought to be
rendered was to the Office rather
than to the man, and because these
intellectual lilliputians were not in
accord with Mr.. Cleveland they must
display their prejudice by opposing
an invitation to the President of the
United States.
