Ice for the Invalid.

From the Philadrlphii Press
Ice is employed in various ways in Illness
as a remedy. The ice bag is applied To the
head in cases where there is severe pain.
and to various PARTS Of th= body TO reduce
Inflammation. If a proper bag is not at
hand, common bladder from the butcher
may be used, filled with ice broken up into
small pieces, so as to lie on the part more
comfortably; if a cork is placed IN the cen
ter it may be tiAd more securely. The ice
bag should be slung over the place. so that
the weight of the bag does not rest on the
pert, but just be in contact with 1t; piece
% folded flannel or lint should be placed un-
DIR it so that the bag does not rest on the
skim: il might cause gangrene without this
pr ecaution-
Ice is given to stop sickness, or in cases
of hemorrhage nom the lungs small piece
is placed on the tongue frequently. Ice
should BE- kept in large Jumps If possible
and these ought to be wrapped i'm a flannel
or blanket. When required to be kept by
the bedside a piece of flannel is tied over a
cup or basin, tha ice resting in the center:
the water then runs, when melted, into 4
cup, and prevents the ice from melting too
quickly. A darning needle or bonnet pin is
the best thing to break up the ice with, if =
proper ice pick is not at hand.

CHAPTER NJ.
The UndeFtakerA,

The reign OF terror inoculated Paris with
virus, the first symptom of which was an
eruption Of Clubs" A hundred years later
the city was again violently infected. The
third empire poisoned Paris, and a fresh
outbreak of clubs followed. aggravated
by the declaration of war in July, 1870.
Now that the German armies were closing
in on the city, the irresponsible mania for
organizing clubs increased to such an eX-
tent that in certain quarters OF Paris every
street had its club. And of all the clubs
organized to discuss politics or to combat
political parties. the grimmest, the most
sinister the most thoroughly revolutionary,
was the so-called "UndertakerS Club" of
Beleville.
In the beginning this club had been ex-
tremely radical. but perfectly sane. 1t flick
cred into life with the birth of the third
empire, blaZed like comet during the
fusillades of the boulevard and streets, and
fiji ally went out like a greasy candle leav-
ing a doubtful stencil in the, city The
flame, however, was relighted when Ma
poleon III declared war against his good
brother" King Wilhelm of Prussia. and
when that mild-natured and sentimental
old monarch left his becabbagad estates to
chastise his bad brother, Napoleon, the In
dertakers stirred in their slumbers.
The resurrection of the Undertakers was
accomplished through three circumstances.

DENouNcEs IMPERIALISM.
Senator Hoar Strongly Protests Against An.
nexation by Right Of Conquest.

Worcester, Nov. 1.-Senator George
f. Hoar, Congressman VIM. H. Moody
and Speaker John l.. Bates were the
speakers at a largely attended Repub-
lican mass meeting in Mechanics hall,
tonight. In the course of his speech,
Senator Hoar said: s
The flag of the United States has
arisen in the eastern sky like new
constellation. We have not over
thrown Spain, but we have perilled the
precious lives of our sons that we may
add to our possessions, or that we may
make money out of our new relations.
But yet the first duty of the Ameri-
can people is to themselves. I believe
the highest service the American peo-
pie can render to mankind and to lib
erty, is to preserve unstained and un-
changed the republic as it came to US
from the father. The danger now is
that we are to be transformed from a
republic, founded upon the declaration
OF ndependence-guided by the coun-
sells of Washington-into a vulgar,
