TREATMENT OF ACUTE RHEUMA-
T1sM.-For external applications in
acute articular rheumatism, there are
none more eficacious than mustard
poultices. The use of these should be
commenced at once, as soon as the
joints become painful. Ifonly small
number are affected, poultices can be
applied to each simultaneously, or in
succession until all are treated. When
new joints become involved, renewed
applications are demanded in fact, the
disease should be "chased" from one
affected portion to another. The
poultices may be applied twice daily,
and after their use the infiamed joints
should be wrapped in dry cotton wool,
and then bandaged neatly and lightly
with flannel. Some authors claim that
these coverings are useless, but all who
have suffered from the disease can
testify that exposure Of the joints, even
to the warm air of the sick room,
aggravates the pain.

WHERE DO OUR BIRDS WINTER?

The robin in winter is sometimes
seen in the latitude of St. Louis. He
goes southwark as far as into Eastern
Mexico.
Sometimes the meadow lark may be
seen in Northern Illinois during the
cold weather; but he is very plentiful
then in the Southern States. Long
before severe frosts come, the orioles
and bobolinks hie them south, and do
not return until the grass and leaves
are expanding. Blackbirds also throng
the Southern States, and some of them
20 as far as the table lands of Mexico.
Of that numerous family, the warb-
lers, the -throated blue warbler
winters in Florida, while the yellow
throat and the palm warbler have
been found to winter in Southern
Illinois.
The catbird goes as far south as
Panama and Cuba, and the mocking
bird stays largely in the Southern
States, although it sometimes goes to
the Antilles and the Bahamas during
the winter.
The swallows are to be found in
Florida and the purple martins in
Mexico the ruby-throat flies among
the orange groves of Florida, while the
whippoorwill may be found as far south
as Guatemala.
The thrashers and wrens do not go
as far south as some of the other birds.
The wood thrush winters in Guatemala,
the hermit thrush along the gulf coast,
and the cuckoo passes to the highlands
of. Mexico.
The rose-breasted grosbeak visits
Cuba, the indigo bunting reaches
Southern Mexico, the golden plover
flies as far as Patagonia, while. the
upland plover makes itself at home
in Brazil or Peru.
The more brilliant the plumage of a
bird, the further south it migrates,
and even those birds which are the
most resident-like the jay, the grouse,
and the quail-move in winter to a
milder climate.-Golden Days.

SULPHUR.-The value of sulphur in
throat difficulties is but little known
among families, though most physi-
clans prescribe it in some form. An
ordinary sore throat will be relieved
by a gargle of sulphur and water one
tablespoonful to glass of water, and
used frequently. In our own family
flour of sulphur is always kept ready
for use, and at the appearance of irri-
tation and cankered spots, gargle is
given or the powder is blown through
paper tube directly into the throat.
At different times we have seen the
throat trouble relieved before the ply
sician could arrive, by the simple use
of this valuable remedy.
1t is said that tbe burning sulphur
in q case of genuine diphtheria is
sure cure; but throat specialist tells
US that this is not practicable, as the
patient has so much difficulty in breath
ing, that the fumes of sulphur are
more likely to strangle the sufferer
than relieve the disease.
The same is true of tar, turpentine
and the various remedies which have
been circulated through the papers
80 much of late. A sore throat is no
trivial thing, and no time should be
lost in the matter. If, after discover
ing it in child, it does not improve
in few hours time after the use of
sulphur, send for reliable physician
without further delay.

They have eliminated every passage

of mankind so as to make woman the
superior of man and to acquit Eve Of

WAS PARADISE AT THE NORTH POLE

In an interesting and highly In
structive article, Edward S. Martin,
in the October Ladies' Home Journal
reviews the numerous theories ad-
vanced by scientists in the endeavor
to solve the perplexing problem as to
the exact location of the site of the
Garden of Eden. After sitting the
theories the writer concludes that the
question is no nearer answered than it
was 1000 years ago, and that there
are no present indications that the
matter will ever be definitely settled
by any man. To one of the latest and
most ingenious theories Mr.. Martin
thus refers: The North pole will
seem, at first thought, to the average
investigator the most unlikely site on
earth for Paradise to have occupied.
Nevertheless, several thoughtful and
sober books and pamphlets have been
written in support of the North Poles
prefer sions. The North Pole nova
days is bitter cold, but it has not
always been so. Biologists tell us
that the earth was excessively hot,
when it first began its course-much
too hot to admit of the presence OF
any living creatures, except, perhaps, q
salamander. AS it grew cooler vege.
tation began on it, and then it began
to be peopled, first with fishes, and
then with birds and beasts; finally
with man. The first spot on earth to
get cool enough to use was the North
Pole. In the process of time it got too
cold, but there must have been a long
period when the polar region was the
most comfortable part of the world
During this period, many eminent
geologists believe, there existed around
the North Pole a continent now sub.
merged, and that on that continent
our progenitors were comfortable in
their first home. 1t is known, with
entire certainty that the polar region
was once warm enough for tropical
vegetation to grow there. There was
light enough also, for such vegetation

LUCK AND LABoR.-If the boy who

memorize them: Luck is waiting for
something to turn up. Labor, with
keen eyes and strong will, will turn up

The two men entered the building,
and Mr.. Mitchell obtained the key to his
compartment. He never took it away
from the place, for he thought it safer
in the keeping Of the officers Of the
vaults. Descending into the great strong
room he took tin box from his drawer,
and then went into little private room
provided with table and chairs. Open
ing the box he took out several packages
which he laid on one side. Among these
the detective was amazed to see red

the missing jewels?

"Here is the photograph" He handed
it to Mr.. Barnes, who saw at once that
it was the picture Of the dead woman.
"And here is the letter. Shall l read it
to your" Mr.. Barnes assented with a
nod. His thoughts were mainly upon the
red leather case. Mr.. Mitchell read aloud:
"Mr. R. Mitchell:
"DEAR SIR-You will be surprised to receive

Mr.. Mitchell handed the above to Mr..

amining the envelope and postmark,
both Of which proved that the letter
was genuine and year old.
"Did you give her the amount de-

received that letter, it was plain that
there would be nothing to lose by re-

money. Therefore, when she called, of

After listening to her I changed my

result just as she adroitly prophesied-1
