five Years-A Case OF World Wide
Interest.
From the Philadelphia Times.l
Lewis D. Blundin was born in Al at
Bridgewater, Pa, and is now q resident OF
Hulmeville same state. He went through
the war as private, sergeant aud hospital
steward of Company C. 28th Pa. Volunteers.
As result of an attack of typhoid fever in
Ga, his kidneys became affected and this
finally developed into spinal disease which
lasted through his army service. In '66 he
was mustered out and entered jefferson
Medical College, Phila., as a student from
which he graduated two years later. The
remainder of the story is best told in his own
words:
"0ne day, after I had graduated, I was
lying on a sofa at my home in Mauayunk,
when | felt a cold sensation in my lower
limbs as though the blood had suddenly left
them. When / tried to move them. / Was

'The people must bear in mind"
said Governor Atkinson recently in
speaking of the penitentiary lease
system, "that a convict is not TO be
placed in a palace when he is sent to
the penitentary for punishment and
that he is not to be fed on the best
the land affords, for if that were
done the penitentisry would soon
become a most attractive placs for
some people and they would 40:
want to come out Of it. These peo-
pie are sent to the penitentiary to
be punished, but while they are
there they must be treated in a hu-
name manner ana must be kept COM
Portable a1d clothed so that they
will not suffer. They are not to be
punished in a manner not in keep
ing with humanity. Their liberty
has been taken from them by the
state, and the state must see to it
that they are not treated cruelty or
made to suffer more than they should
suffer on accoun; of the work and
the lack of privileges"

THE LISTENER
Don't Speak Slightingly of
the School Teacher
IN THE PRESENCE OF CHILDREN,
Don't Citicise the Shortcomings OF
Others but Look at Your Own
Faults.

During tbeschool days the parents
should be careful how they speak OF
teachers before the children. If
there is any fault to be found with
the teachers by the parents it should
be talked in private and not in the
hearing oil the children. They are
wonderful ilnitators, and if they hear
anything of the kind they very nat
ural,y will do the same, many times
injuring both teacher and pupils,
but the pupils most. Teachers as a
rule are competent, or they would
not be employed, They have
great responsibility or their shout
ders, and parents should do all in
their power to help them instead of
to hinder.
*
When you start to criticise the
shortcomings of others, take back
ward glance at your own trail and
see if it is straight. Many people
often thougbtlessly make unkind re-
marks about others that would in
finitely be better unsaid. Guard
your tongue, and you will often be
saved from unnecessary regrets.
People do things that should be
condemned, but it is frequently a
fact that those who are most ready
to condemn, are guilty of the same
offense themselves.
*
"Where is my boy tonight ?" is a
question that should be asked and
answered by every mother and fath~
er. Think Of it parents, "when the
curtains of night are pinned back by
the stars" and the sable mantle
hangs darkening over the earth, ask
and answer this question: "Where
is my boy tonight"
x x *
We believe if you want to bring a
man to your way of thinking, the
best way is to show him the good
there is in your plan, and the manner
in which he will be benefited by it,
and not by calling him ell kinds Of
mean names, and accuse him of be,
longing to a band of thieves and
robbers.

Sewers OF Ancient Catacombs

OF all the romance nations perhaps
the Italians treat their historic monu-
nents with the greatest degree of ia
miliarity; familiarity that, archaeolo-
gists sometimes complain, borders upon
sacrilege. However, they never de-
stroy what is truly beautiful, although
they may sacrifice the simply antique
10 enhance modern utility. The latest
journals from Rome tell us that the
historic catacombs of that city are soon
to be utilized as sewers. Not for years,
il ever, have the hygienic qualities of
the eternal city been what they should
be, and the deadly fumes that arise
from the Tiber at the close of a hot
July day have sent many American
tourists to their last abode in the small
but famous Protestant burial ground.
The Tribuna shows how easily the
scanty sewers of the Porta Pia can be
turned into the catacombs of that quar-
ter, which communicate directly with
those Of Sainte Agnes and Santa Pris-
ella. And thus do the ancient chapels
Of the early Christians become the re-
ceptacles for the offal of the modern
city of the Philistines.--N. Y. Tribune.

PREPARING POULTICES.
Some Points OF Value to the Household
Nurse.

Some Points OF Value to the Household
Nurse.
The chief object of a poultice is to
supply and retain heat and moisture
for the relief of pain and internal con-
gcstion. Other but less frequent uses
are for cleaning the surface of foul
ulcers and fastening the removal OF
dead tissues.
Poultices are best made of ground
fiaxseed, but in case this is not to be
had, bread, cornmeal or hominy may be
substituted.
In making bread poultice, the crust
of the loaf should not be used, and il
should be remembered that such a
poultice quickly becomes sour. When
cornmeal or hominy is used, salt should
be added to each application, to pevent
irritation of the skin.
The greatest benefit of a poultice
comes from its heat; therefore care
should be taken to apply it very hot.
The flaxseed meal should be mixed
with boiling water in n receptacle placed
over the fire, and the mixture should be
constantly stirred until it is of about
the consistency of oatmeal porridge.
The batter should tken be evenly
spread. about half an inch in thickness,
on u warm cloth folded in two or three
layers.
Over the surface of the fiaxseed q
piece of cheese cloth, white tarlatan, or
fine cambria handkerchief should be
laid; or, these failing, the surface may
be covered with small quantity of
vaseline or sweet oil. This procedure
in no way interferes with the action OF
The poultice; it's object is simply to pre-
vent the fiaxseed from adhering TO the
skin.
The poultice. after being applied to
the body, should be covered with either
oiled silk, flannel or cotton wadding, so
that the heat may be retained. AS soon
as the poultice cools il should be re-
moved and fresh one applied.
In order to render poultice more eff
fective in diminishing or relieving deep
seated pain, as in the chest and abdo-
men, mustard may be added to the flax
seed. Such n poultice is far better, for
ordinary purposes, than a mustard
plaster. 1t is rarely followed by any
unpleasant irritation of the skin.
The mustard should not be added in
the form of the powder, but should be
carefully mixed with n small amount Of
warm water, and then thoroughly
stirred into the faxseed just before it
is spread upon the cloth. The amount of
mustard should be varied according to
the severity of the pain and the age of
the person.
The application of mustard in this
form is particularly well suited to chill
dren and old people, whose skin is easily

loo In New Hampshire.


| loo In New Hampshire.
| An itinerant corn doctor took pos
session of the public. square in Charles
ton, N. H., few evenings since and
proceeded to transact business which
was of land-office dimensions while II
laeted. But he closed up early.
Eggs were flying at him from all di-
rections and he was a sorry-looking
sight when he reached the friendly
shelter of the hotel.
He had imposed upon the confidence
Of the unsophisticated and the shower
of eggs was their way of expressing
their righteous indignation.
The doctors" modus operandi was
something like this: He had a corn
ealve that was unequaled and unap-
proachable in its virtues; he wished to
advertise 1t and would, for ten cents,
give sample of the salve and check,
on the presentation of which later he
would give present.
The present" end of it caught many
who were old enough to know better,
and several children, but great was their
surprise when on presenting their
checks, they were handed Is cents as q
present.
This was making money very fast.
Each purchaser had realized 80 per cent.
on his investment. The doctor had
article No. 2 to advertise and would
also give a present to every purchaser
who would pay 25 cents for sample.
Those who had bought one package
of No. took two and three of article
No. and were given checks as in the
previous instance. OF course they
thought this man who gave them Is
cents for ten cents would certainly give
them at least 35 for rs.
But he didn't.
He probably thought he had gone the
limit and when the spectators pre-
scented their checks they were given a
bit of taffy candy by the smiling doctor,
who said: 81 told you would give you
present, and / have done so," and
while he continued to give them the
laugh they began to see the ''joke."
Several of those on the outside Of the
crowd got their heads together and
then went to nearby provision store
and invested all the money they had in
eggs, and the less modern they were
the more desirable for their purpose.
When they returned the voluble doc
tor was telling his audience not to feel
bad over the matter. He had. he said,
travelled a great deal and had got it
in the neck" himself and never COM
planned.
Well, just then he got it in the neck
and in the back and on the head and in
several other places. There was per-
feet shower of eggs.
The doctors smile vanished. and he
did not stand upon the order of going
but got quickly. He made five or six
dollars, but he will need new suit of
