Practice In Diphtheria.

The results of the practice of vari-
Gus Paris physicians with their diph-
theritic patients have been made to
appear in a published summary of
much interest. According to this,
tannin, applied locally, seems to have
been moderately successful, while
salicylic acid and salicylate of soda
are stated to have tailed entirely.
Carbolic camphor-that is, camphor
25, alcohol I, carbolc acid o-ap-
piled either pure or with oil of al
monds, operated quite favorably. Gu
bebs and copaiba were administered
to a slight extent, also tincture of
eucalyptus, but not SO as to form a
criterion. Chlorate of potash proved
by far the most successful remedy, as
it was also the most extensively ad
ministered. Its action is believed by
some to be due in part to the oxygen
with which it supplies the blood, and
which, it is assumed, the diphtherial
bacteria have distracted. Some Other
physicians, however, are of the opin.
ion that the success should be attri
buted rather to its local effects.

The Pathology of Ohilblains.

An eminent medica, man is author
ity for the statement that chilblains
are often caused by the condition of
the blood, and that they are curable
by proper treatment. He says that
the blood is deficient in those quail
ties that cause coagulation. Children
are much more subject to chilblains
than grown persons from this cause.
1t is also said that similar condition
exists in people who are subject to
serious nosebleed. Those who are
subject to malaria are found to have
blood IN a similar condition. In fact,
it is stated that it is possible, even on
the western coast of Africa, for
patients, after severe attacks of ma
larial fever, to suffer from chilblains
AS to the treatment, it is necessary
to increase the coagulability of the
blood, and among other remedies re-
commended are calcium chloride and
careful abstaining from acids, alcoho
or excessive quantities of fluid OF any
sort. Increasing the coagulability o
the blood wrought complete cure
in all cases.-Mew York Ledger.

A MethOdical Maid.

The anecdote Of the woman whose
husband asked her to hide the latch
key under the door-mat, so that he
might find it on his return at night,
and who, to make things doubly sure,
stuck card back Of the bell plate, on
which was written so that it could be
easily seen in the lamplight, "The
latch-key is under the mat" was prob
ably mere fabrication.
Nevertheless, lady told n story of
her maid at dinner the other evening,
very much like one. The mistress was
stopping at hotel. and expecting to
be out late, told the maid not to wait,
but to leave the key Of her trunk and
jewel box in the pocket of one of her
gowns hanging up in the closet deem
ing that safe place., and that she
would put away her things herself
On her return she found placard
pinned on her cushion on which was
written:
81 have left the keys Of the trunk
and Jewel box in the pocket of your
green walking dress, which is hanging
up In the closet"

The Suns Temperature,

Estimates of the suns temperature
have ranged from 100000 degrees
down to 5000 degrees F. At the
Moscow observatory Professor Ger
aski has repeated the old experiment
of measuring the heat of direct sun
light at the focus of mirror, the
mirror in this case being very accur-
ately made and having focal length
of about 80 inches. The result was
$500 degrees c. (6,3oo degrees F.),
showing only that the solar tempera-
ture is greater than this. A measure
ment of the heat reflected from an
arc lamp was then made, the tempera-
ture in the focus Of the mirror prov
ing to be only 100 degrees to les de
grees c., although the arc itself was
known to have temperature of very
nearly $500 degrees. From this it is
argued that the temperature of the
sun must be very much more than
$500 degrees, while it is believed
that this method may lead to an ac,
curate estimate.

RAISING WRECKS.
II Is Now Done BY Means Of Waterproof
Bags and an Air Pump.

A new form of an old method ol
raising wrecks has been invented by
Frenchman. His apparatus is a
number of waterproof bags made in
the shape of huge cylinderf or pipes,
long tubes, which connect these bags
with powerful air pump and some
stout pieces of canvas and chains.
The air pumps, which are exception
ally powerful, are carried in the stern
OF stanch ocean going tugs The
diver first patches with canvas the
holes of the sunken ship, and then
opens all the matches. He next
makes fast to the hull large number
of alright, cylindrical bags, which are
bound with chains along the keel
along either side. AS the bags fill
with air under the influence of the
pressure from above, they raise the
hull, which heels over and eventually
rests on the bottom upside down.
Then, through the large main pipes,
which have been made fast inside the
hull, is forced a powerful and steady
current of air, which gradually takes
the place of the water, until the hull
becomes SO light that it rises to the
surface.

Senator FOrney, Of the Kansas State
Senate, has young daughter who
tells why her father introduced so
many freak bills in the Senate
Whenever pa ran up against any
thing he didn't like" she says, "he
would come home and write a bill
against it. There is one of his rail-
road bills. for instance. We drove to
town to church one night, and there
was freight train on the crossing,
and it kept us there for twenty min
utes. 1t annoyed pa dreadfully, and
he went home and wrote that bill to
prohibit trains from obstructing cross
ings more than five minutes. Then,
one night, somebody stole all our
chickens. The next day pa wrote his
chicken bill. But you will notice that
the bill doesn't protect ducks. 1t says
except ducks Pa don't like ducks
And he said If anybody wanted to
steal them it was all right the ducks
was punishment enough. Whenever
pa sat down to write bill we always
knew that something had happened tc
him."-New York Tribune.

Forgot to Wear Trousers.

A certain noble lord, who shall be
nameless, during his journey north on
a political mission, changed his cos
tune for n full Highland 'rig-out," in
tending it as delicate compliment to
the land of the kilt. But when he
looked at himself in the glass he found
that the tailor had cut his kilt too
short; so he made up his mind to put
on evening dress.
He changed his upper garments
and then sat down for few mo-
ments to study his speech. This set
him to sleep. He awoke with a start,
only to find himself running into the
station. Forgetting what happened,
he thrust ON his hat, and appeared at
the window bowling, and this was how
he was dressed:
He had full Highland costume as
far as his waist; above were n white
shirt and swallow-tailed coat, and the
entire edifice was crowned with a
chimney-pot hat, upon which he sat
down without noticing it. His lord
ships horror when he stepped upon
the platform and felt the keen wind
cutting his bare legs changed to abso-
lutte agony when his valet appeared,
scrambling out Of the carriage with a
pair of trousers in his hands, waving
them wildly and exclaiming: my
lord, my lord, you've forgotten these"
