Water bringing IN Typhoid Fever.

Water drinking in typhoid fever is not
new suggestion. The Importance OF
subjecting the tissues to an internal bath
was brought prominently to the notice OF
the profession by NJ. Debave, of Paris,
who was perhaps the first to systematic
this mode of treatment. The treatment
of this eminent physician consists almost
exclusively of water drinking. 81 make
my patients drink" he says; and they
mnst be kept pretty busy in attending to
this rinsing process; for they are required
to take from five to six quarts of water
daily, which would amount to eight
ounces every hour.
The writer has for many years followed
the practice of having his patients drink
from one-half to two-thirds of glass OF
water hourly, VIXEN awake. 1t is some
times, however, impossible to induce
patients to drink a large quantity OF
water. In cases i'll which the stomach IS
dilated, the patient is often unable to alb
sorb water so rapidly. In these cases the
introduction of water by the rectum
proves satisfactory substitute for water
drinking. OF course, if the patient sub
sists chiefly upon diet of thin gruit,
fruit juices, or skinned milk, the amount
of liquid thus taken may be subta acted
from the quantity of water named. The
important thing is to get into the system,
and out of it, a sufficient amount of
water to prevent the accumulation of
plomains and toxins within the body.
Copious water drinking does not
weaken the heart, but, on the contrary,
encourages its action, by maintaining the
volume of blood 1t also aids the action
of the liver, the kidneys, and the skin;
and by promoting evaporation from the
skin, it lowers the temperature. THE

The fact that William Mckinley is be-
ing made the target for about all the pol
itical hot shot that is now being fired, is
conclusive proof that he is regarded as
the strong man with the people. News
papers that are opposed to the Republi-
can party are working with great zeal to
undermine the popularity of Mckinley.
But to use phraze of Henry Clay, they
might as well attack Gibralter with a
pocket pistol If Mckinley is nomi-
mated he will be elected by a majority
that will be simply overwhelming. II
not, there are other eminent Republicans
who will receive just as great a majority.

The Process OF Reform.

A great many people labor under the
delusion that permanent and complete
moral and social revolutions may be
wrought by a simple majority of ballots
at the polls. The Prohibitionist vainly
imagines that if his theories were triumph
Mt at the election it would prove the
death blow OF intemperance. The Social
ist seeIns to think that a victory at the
polls would reverse the social order, place
the lower stratum on top, and right all
injustice.
Since the days of the ancient Greeks
and Romans these matters have been ylo-
lently agitated, and thousands OF we'll
meaning men have become martyrs to re-
form ideas. No doubt they have had
their influence for good, but it has been
so small as to be almost imperceptible.
Moral and social reforms are a growth.
They cannot be brought about by revo-
luton in politics. They must be accom-
plished by a revolution in the hearts and
brains of men-by education and devel-
opment. All other so called reforms are
transitory and ephemeral. To broaden
mems minds and quicken their sympa-
thies, to make injustice and selhshness
odious, and TO glorify good deeds and ex-
alt the spirit of self-sacrifce, IS the way
to effect reforms. When your individuals,
are right, no matter about your platform.
When your individuals are wrong, your
platform is rope of sand that prlshes
in the twisting.
Political parties may represent policies
that are salutary or baneful to the ma
tional prosperity, Just as one man may
have scheme in view that will prove his
financial ruin, while another may have
one which will make his fortune. They
are mainly matters of expediency, and
may have powerful effect upon the pros
perity, happiness, and indirectly upon
the morals, of the people-for it is easier
for those who are prosperous and happy
to be moral-but it can effect no sudden
and permanent change in their appetites
and passions. This can only be done by
good literature, good sermons and good
examples, and then only gradually, aided
by the powerful influence of heredity
and environment.
If every man who is sincerely eager to
make the world better would begin on
himself, and see how close he can live to
the laws of God and man, instead of try
ing to reform the world by plank in
political platform, a great deal more
would be accomplished. A pure life is
the most powerful argument in favor Of
temperance and virtue. For instance,
the fact that VIM E. Gladstone at eighty
seven is strong, vigorous, clear-headed
and honored this side idoltry more uni
versally than perhaps any other living
man, is the most convincing evidence
that desire to lead correct life is TIE
worthiest ambition, and is productive of
the best fruit

Legislative Bodies.

No people of the world have so great a
distrust in their legislative bodies as the
Americans. Many of us are glad when
Congress adjourns; there is still less re-
spect for State Legislature, and what
shall we say when we come to city
council2 As a result of the distrust, we
have proceeded on the principle that the
Legislature is made up of wild beasts,
and the liberty to legislate is to a great
extent taken away by prohibition on
special legislation. The proposition to
amend the State Constitution, SO as to
provide for annual sessions of the Legis-
lature, will not meet with much favor.
AS long as the memories of the disgrace
full work done by the last Legislature
linger in the minds of our people, there
will be no tendency to favor these annual
sessions. May no Legislature similar 10
the last one ever roll round again in a
millennium of years Its membership
was composed of the Goths and Vandals
of political plunder, who swept in from
every portion of the State, to feast upon
the wealth of the public treasury that
has just been replenished by the honest
taxes of the people.
last Legislature for the avowed purpose
Of plundering the treasury were printed
in a list and scattered throughout the
State, it would form an excellent COM
paign document against the ambitions of
some of our anxious law makers. The
cathode rays of truth should be thrown
upon the false mask of patriotism worn
by the average legislator. The only con-
ISOLATION that we have is to thank God
that political power is transient The
righteous indignation of the people as
serts itself every two or three years, and
the Augean stables are cleaned.
The legislator of to day may be rele-
gated to oblivion to morrow. Thus the
States lives, while the miserable puppet,
who obeys political masters bidding,
passes through the embryo stages, full
growth and decay in a brief period of
time and is known no more. Occasion
ally man like the late Austin L. Tag
gart or Charles Wolfe makes himself felt
in the councils of the State, but such
men are few. All our law makers should
be men of like character, and we would
have them, too, if the people would
awake from their lethargy, and demand
a higher order of craftsmanship i'll State
and National affairs. Mannheim Seminal.

The MaIvels of an Ostriche's Stomach.

The post mOrtem examination of one of
the flock of ostriches owned by Barnum
g. Bailey, which has been on exhibition at
the Central Park mensgerie, Few York
City, gave the spectators wonderful OBJ
ject lesson of the digestive capabilities of
an ostrich The ostrich was dissected by
taxidermist. He found the following
articles in the birds stomach: One wood
on clothes pin; the bottom of two beer
bottles u mouth harmonics, five inches
| long and two inches wide; a ferrule OF an
umbrella with a piece of the stick in it
about four inches long; metal skate key,
q b-ass door key. five inches long; a wo-
mans black horn comb; two pieces of coal;
a woman's silk handkerchief; three stones
about an inch thick, together with some
cabbage, grass lettuce. celery and consid-
cradle dirt. Strange to say, the ostrich

Reports from Washington and London
indicate that method OF settling the
Venezuelan dispute has been agreed up
on. 1t is stated that the question is to be
submitted to Joint Commission consist
ing of Americans and Englishmen, and
it is added that an arrangement will prob
ably be made for the purchase by Great
Britain of the territory in dispute. This
is understood to be the method by which
Lord Salisbury is to be enabled to retire
with dignity from his untenaole position.
1t is practically conceded by the ablest
English journals that the British case as
recently published by that Government
will not hold water. The London papers
admit that the exposition OF the English
position is a mass of contradictions.

Japan's gallant fight for supremacy in
Korea has availed her nothing. Russia
has quietly taken charge of that King
dom, and Japan has thought over the
matter and concluded to let Russia con-
tinue her protectorate, because, as an
eminent Japanese statesman said at the
Cabinet meeting, ''there is no other
course open to Japan at present" On
the night of February 10, three Korean
ministers of state, the Hon. Yu Xii
Chun, the Hon. Kim Hang Chip, and
the Hon. Kim Yum Six, were in consul
tation regarding the most artistic manner
to kill King. His Majesty was inform
ed of the conspiracy, and placed himself
under the protection of the Russian En-
basy. The conspirators were arrested,
and in half an hour had their heads
chopped off. That is the way they do
business in Korea.

That revision of the Constitution of

strument has been found to contain many
barriers to wholesome legislation. 1t is

Only five States of the forty-fve have

composed of glucose and plaster of paris,
the later totally indigestible substance.

it has remained ever since, while she is a
