BENEFITS FROM CHANGE OF AIR.
Invalids Are OFTEN Helped by Removal
from Their Old Environments.


from Their Old Environments.
A very favorite last resort of the eigh-
teenth century physician was to send
a patient to visit the place of his birth,
since it was thought that natal air.
would be likely to prove peculiarly ben
efcial. This last theory, although
somewhat ludicrous when viewed from
our modern standpoint, strikes me as
being somewhat more than mere
piece of plausible empiricsm. It shows
that, in spite of the terrible faith in
physic, the doctors in those days did not
lose sight of the Importance of con-
forming to natures program.
Although the beneficial effect of sea
voyages was to some extent recognized
it is easy to understand that the ships

amount of good from change Of air
taken under such conditions.
Generally speaking, we now consider
that sea and mountain air owes it's
virtue to it's freedom from organic i'm
purities. Probably it is this quality
moro than any other which gives it it's
reviving effect on those who Aave been
living in the clogged and polluted at

sickly children and ailing adults were
by no means uncommon. Patients with
weak lungs are often sent to winter in
Devon and Cornwall, although the NOR

the permanent residents of these
favored counties Is not whit less than

remains to be accounted for that such

ways derive marked benefit from the
change.-Nationa Review.

THE MEDICINE CLOSET.

A very serviceable article for use in
the sick room or nursery is small
nursery refrigerator, which serves to
keep ice or milk or other foods during
the night.
A poison guard" may be had in the
drug stores. 1t consists of little
wooden ball with chain attached. It
is to be fastened to the neck Of the
bottle, and serves to call attention to
the fact that the contents are danger
GUS, or only to be used externally.
Do not keep all the half-used medi-
cines remaining from what the doctor
has ordered at various times. A few
of them might be of service in the flu
ture, but the majority were good only
for the occasion when ordered, and the
closet will soon be filled to OVERLOOKING
with them.
Some arrangement for the heating OF
food at night is serviceable during ill
ness. There are various appliances
made to fit over a gas jet or on the Chin
ney of an oil lamp, and upon which a
cup or other vessel may be heated. In
place of these small alcohol pocket
stove can be procured.
No dangerous medicine should be
placed in the medicine closet, except
under special precautions. Bottles con-
tanning laudanum or paragoric, BELLA
donna and other poison, or any fluids
to be used externally should never be
placed here unless the bottles contain
ing them are of such a nature that they
may be recognized readily even in the
dark.-Care for the Baby.

TO REACH THE KJONDIKE.
Interesting Circular Received by Mayor
Farnsworth.

Interesting Circular Received by Mayor
Farnsworth.
An interesting circular has just been
received from Mayor Farnsworth
from the bureau of information at
Seattle, Wash, regarding the routes to
the Klondike region. The circular
states that there are two established
routes to the Klondike country from
Puget sound. One is via the ocean to
st. Michaels, thence via river steamer
up to the Yukon. This journey is
made in the summer months only. The
other is also by steamer to Dyea, Ska
quay, or Pyramid harbor, and thence
over the Chilcoot, White Pass, and the
Dalton trail, respectively, to the head
waters Of the Yukon and then down by
boat The distance over the various
trails by boat navigation on Lokes Lin
deman and Bennett and the Pelly river
is as follows: p
Dyea to Lake Lindeman, 80 miles;
Skaguay TO Lake Bennett, AZ miles;
from Pyramid harbor to Pelly river,
over the Dalton trail AIS miles. Each
Of these trails has been successfully
the first two being the most generally
used. Distance from Seattle to Dyea or
Skaguay, $50 miles; to Pyramid Har-
Dor, 965 miles; Seattle to mouth of Yu-
kon river, $500 miles; from mouth of
Yukon to Dawson City, 450 miles The
time Of travel from Seattle by either
way is about the same-thirty or forty
days.
No person should start for the gold
fields with less than $500, excluding his
transportation to Puget sound. This
sum will be barely sufficient for one
man for one year with the scant neces-
stiles of life and travelling under the
most favorable circumstances,
Persons inexperienced in mountain
travel are cautioned that utmost care
should be taken to preserve a secure
footing in climbing steep ascents and
in fordig streams. No one should at
tempt to shoot rapids unless thoroughly
conversant with the method. OF the
many thousands who have gone in this
year not more than half dozen have
lost their lives and these have been
from carelessness in fording.
The summers on the Yukon are short
the winters are long and the weather
is severe. Extreme heat and cold ex-
lists, making the climate difficult to en-
dure. On account of the isolation of
the mining regions all persons are eau
toned to take ample supplies of provi-
sions and Of warm clothing.

ARRAIGNED FOR MANsLAuGHTER
Jimmy Barry. Whose Fight With

Jimmy Barry, Whose Fight With
Young Croot Resulted Fatally.
London, Dec. 7.-Walter Croot of New
Castle. England, who was defeated for
the bantam-weight championship of the
world at the National Sporting club
last night by Jimmy Barry of Chica-
go, died this morning from the injuries
he received during the contest.
During the first ten rounds of last
nights fight, Barry did most of the
scoring, in thoroughly scientific strug-
gle. Croot then made determined
stand, and in the eighteenth round had
succeeded in almost equalizing matters.
AT the opening of the nineteenth Barry
forced the work at great pace, and
finished much stronger than Croot. In
the twentieth round the American put
in some excellent work. and eventually
knocked Croot out with a severe punch
erthe heart and then crushing right
handler on the Englishmans jaw, when
only forty seconds remained Of the stip-
ulated limit. Croot remained uncon-
scious SO long that medical assistance
was summoned. and it was found that
he had sustained q severe concussion.
He was removed to his apartments but
never regained consciousness, and ex-
pfred at 8 O'Clock this morning
Barry, who was arrafgned shortly af-
ter the death of Croot, was taken to
the Bow street police court. The affair
has caused great excitement in boxing
circles.
Shortly after o'clock this afternoon
| Barry, and Watley who was Croot's
second, the manager of the National
| Sporting club; Mr.. B. F. Angle, and the
referee and timekeeper of last nights
| fatal fight, were placed in the prison
er's dock before Mr.. James Vaughan,
the presiding magistrate at Bown street
| police court and were formally charged
with manslaughter. The court was
crowded with interested spectators.
| Counsel appeared for Mr.. Angle,
whose case is the same as that of the
other defendants. The police testified
that Barry was very much distressed
at the death of Croot and said he had
not made the slightest attempt to avoid
the warrant. Continuing the police
said Mr.. Angle conducted an officer to
see Croot's body, which was only SUI
perfcially bruised. There were slight
signs of blood in the nose. but there
was none on the gloves or in the ring.
Barry, who was present when the police
viewed the body, brode down and cried,
81 never did it,
The case was adjourned for a week.
Sir George Chetwynd became surety for
Mr.. Angle and the proprietor of a
sporting newspaper became surety for
Barry and White. Barry in an inter-
view said, am deeply upset and can
| hardly say what l think We were
good friends and there was nothing bit
| ter in our fight. I never had the slight
est though that my blow would do more
than stop him for a few moments"

is 1T A TRIFLE?~
That Common Trouble, Acid
Dyspepsia, or Sour Stomach.
Now Recognized as Cause of Serious
Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is form
of Indigestion resulting from fermenta-
ton Of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest it, the food
remains until fermentation begins, fill
ing the stomach with gas, and bitter,
sour, burning taste in the mouth is
often present This condition soon be-
comes chronic, and being an everyday
occurrence Is given but little attention.
Because dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
Within q recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at 80 cents per
package. 1t Is prepared by the Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich, and while it
promptly and effectually restores a Wig
orous digestion, at the same time is
perfectly harmless and will'not inture
the most delicate stomach but on the
contrary by giving perfect digestion
strengthens the stomach, improves the
appetite and makes life worth living.

SUICIDE OF A YALE ALUMNUS.

Helena, Mont. Dec. 7.-Associate
Justice Horace Buck, forty-four, of the
supreme court, suicided shortly after
midnight by shooting himself. The
Judge had been breaking down in
health for some time.
Judge Buck was graduated at Yale,
where he was a great favorite, in the
class of 1876, and presided at it's twen-
tieth anniversary meeting a year ago
last summer. FIe came from Seda1ia,
Mo-, and had all the chivalrous quail
tiles of the southern gentleman. He
married a daughter Of the late DR..
Jewett of New Haven. g. woman con-
spicuous for her beauty and attractive
ness.
Judge Buck and his partner, w. H.
Hunt, son of the late Secretary Hunt
of President Arthur's cabinet, and a
graduate of the Sheffield Scientific
school, divided the political honors of
Montana between them, Judge Buck
being always a candidate on the dem
ocratic ticket, and Judge Hunt on the
republican ticket. Judge Buck was a
very conscientious man, and when nom
mated for his present place on Bryan
ticket wrote to eastern friends to know
whether he ought to decline, as he be-
1ieved in sound money. His friends re-
piled that as the judicial position did
not involve the financial question in any
way,it seemed hardly worth while vol
unfairly to make a martyr of himself.
as the convention knew his views
when it nominated him.
