CONSUMPTION.
Caro- Of the Patient, That His sufYerinEs
May Isc Lessened.

The successful treatment of consump-
tion-and by this is meant making the
sufferer better able to bear his burden, IL
not actually lifting it from his shoul-
ders-is largely question of nursing.
II the disease has already gained foot
hold medicine in most instances is of no
avail except in postponing the evil day,
and even IL 1t were otherwise few
general rules would be just as essential
to insure the comfort Of the patient
while recovery is going on.
In the first place, then, we must un-
derstand exactly the condition of the
consumptive, not SO much by ascertain
ing the location and extent Of his disease
as by familiarizing ourselves with his
temperament, his likes and dislikes, and,
above all, with his power Of endurance
and resistance.
II we will bear these things in mind
we may be able to do all that is possible
for the sick one-namely, to enable him
to Withstand the onslaught of the dis
ease until nature shall gain the control
ling hand. So successful is this method
of treatment that it often results i'm q
complete or at least a temporary cure.
Consumption is one of the most de-
vitalizing of diseases. Not only does 1t
attack the lungs, but the action of the
nervous system is sooner or later seri-
ously intelfered with, the digestion i'm
paired, and the simplest form of excite
ment renders even the circulation of the
blood dangerous from being overactive.
We shall come nearest TO striking at
the root Of all these troubles if we direct
our energies toward limiting the fire.
quency and severity of the cough, and in
this we have not only to follow the ad-
vice of the physician, taking care that
his directions are exactly carried out,
but we must give careful attention to
nursing.
Toprevent the first paroxysm of cough
ing, which is usually melted in the
morning by the exertion Of rising, a
warm cup Of tea or an eggnog should be
taken before the patient leaves the bed.
A glass Of something warm, like hot
milk or cruel, should also be taken be-
fore retiring, and plenty of time should
be allowed in preparing for the bed.
The patient should sleep in blankets,
and IA glass Of warm drink should be
placed within reach in case. he should
wake through the night.
If the presence of food in the stomach
causes the reappcarance of the cough
after meals, some suitable preparation
of pepsin should be used to hasten the
digestion, and an hour or two's rest
should be taken Immediately after the
meal. -Youth's Companion.

1000 Miles with a wheeibarrow.

wager made by some friends who be-
lieved that such trip would occupy at
least 200 days. The wager was 81, 900,
but Potter made between three and five
times that sum advertising for different
parties along the route. The wheelbar-
row was made specially for the use to
which it was put and weighed but 20
pounds. The distance travelled by Pot

AN AVENUE OF IDOLS.
A Double Row of Japanese Buddhas

Double Row OF Japanese Buddhas
Which Cannot he Counted.
Close to this interesting pool is the
avenue of images, representing the
Amida Buddha. The idols vary in size,
but are similar in design. There are sew
eral hundred of them altogether, and
they sit facing one another in two long
rows We asked the little Jap who
brought MS to the place how many of
them tEerc were In an awed whisper
he replied, Nobody knows" Then he
told us how impossible it was to count
them. Each image was made unsightly
by having numbers of little bits of paper
stuck on to it and chewed bits of paper
which had been spat at it. The object of
this designation we failed to discover,
though our friend Hojo informed us they
were put on by the young priests, part
of whose novitiate it was to attempt to
count the Buddhas.
There is evidently something wrong
with these idols, for no one has ever
been able to reckon them up the same
twice over, in spite of sticking piece
of paper to tick each one off. OF course
two interpretations Englishmen were
not to be humbugged by native stories,
so NJ. (my travelling companion) and l,
thinking the whole thing ridiculous, de-
cided to count the mysterious images.
We started ON cooperative lines, each
taking side Of the avenue. Our efforts,
however, were fruitless, for we had not
numbered off more than dozen each,
before M. (whose eyes were not so good
as they had once been) shouted across to
me: II say, saw one of them on your
side moving. I'm certain Ibid. They're
uncanny. Let's give it up" This inter-
ruption of course upset all my calcula-
tions, but we soon came on the moving
image, which turned out to be nothing
more than one of the old Frenchmen,

looking in his white clothes for all the
