Treatment of Appendicitis.

Since appendicitis became what
may be called a fashionable disease
there has been very large amount
of talk and literature on the sub
ject.
An eminent foreign authority ex-
presses the opinion that very largo
proportion Of cases Of appendicitis
are directly and almost Immediately
durable by the use of enemata either
of olive oil or Of water as warm as
can be comfortably borne, with a
little glycerin OF CASTLE soap. He
says in almost every instance the
operation has disclosed the fact that
there was an accumulation of refuse
matter in intestines. This, if cleared
out by any process, gives immedi-
ate relief, and in many instances a
permanent cure. Persons who are
in the habit of using means of this
sort are said to be singularly free
from intestinal troubles Of all kinds.
When one reflects on the disastrous
consequences of permitting waste
matter to accumulate in the system,
especially in warm weather, when
the body is in more or less heated
and feverish condition, the wonder
is that there are no more fatal cases
of internal disorders. New York

The Land of Paradoxes,

"The Land of Paradoxes'' is the
name often given to Australia by
writer's and travellers. The name
probably arose originally from the
fact that at Christmastide the Aus
tralians are III the middle of the
summer heat, and when it is hot
test here and in Europe it is coolest
in kangaroo land. But there are
other reasons. We are told that in
Australia the flowers have no per
fume and the birds no song; swans
are black and crows white; ducks are
clothed with air, and porcupincs
have beaks; bees are stingless,
trees give no shade, and cherries
grow with their stones outside; that
flies catch spiders and the blue gum
tree produces no blue gum; that the
moon is upside down and whole
host of other things equally curious
which we may believe or not, as the
humOr moves us.-Pittsburg Dis

Sleep.

Many theories are evolved and put
in practice for the purpose of Undue
ing sleep, but an eminent authority
says the best way is to encourage a
state of mental quiescence, indiffer-
ence, which is absolutely necessary
to sound, healthy sleep. Of course
there are many physical influences
that cause insomnia too. One should
never go to bed hungry. This is il
lustrated by the fact that babies and
animals usually sleep after eating.
The activity of the stomach with
draws the blood from the brain,
where it is not needed during sleep.

BILLING THE TOWN.

development. of the Art of Spreading
Abound the Poster.
"At the time l begin billing the
town. said the circus advance
agent, "it meant something like
this: First, several papers of tacks
were procured and little pieces of
leather cut into half inch squares
were pushed over the sharp points
of the tacks. A few one sheet bills
were then put up in the hotel bar
and Railways and about 20 or 80
three sheet posters were tackled in
conspicuous places about the town.
Four or five programmes, or quarter
sheets, were distributed among the
storekeepers. The day and date the
show was to exhibit had to be
stamped by hand on every bill or
marked on them with crayon. By
the time the agent had finished his
days work you can we'll believe he
was used up.
Sometimes an energetic agent
would go out on the country roads
around the town and, coming to a
church, would tack a handful of
programmes on the fence nearby,
SO that the churchgoers could help
themselves when they came to
meeting the next Sunday
II recollect 10 sheet poster that
was designed, printed and copy
righted about the year 1870 by DR..
James Reilly, then at 10 Spruce
street. It represented a large num-
Der of birds, all of them perched on
the spreading branches of tree.
This poster was in many respects
remarkable. The finest artists and
engravers were employed, the best
Of materials used and only the most
expensive inks. Unusual care was
exercised in the printing.
$50 much was thought of the
poster that it firmly established the
printer as the best in America in
the eyes of all showmen. A copy of
the poster was framed and hung on
the wall of the printers Office,
where it remained for many years.
BY the way, when this printer died,
about the year 1880, there remained
on his books over $3.50, 900 in uncol-
lectible accounts, a slight token of
the esteem in which many of the
showmen held him.
In the old days, when the rivalry
between the circuses was very sharp,
it often happened that two shows
would be billed for the same town
within a few days Of one another.
Then you ought to have seen the
posters and handbills that were
scattered broadcast.
"The bill wagon" continued the
agent, was succeeded by the adj
vertising cars when circuses took
torailroads and gave up wagons. On
the advertising cars steam boilers
were placed for the purpose of max
ing paste.
1.-The posters now in use by the
circus range in size from 1 to SO
sheets, the latter known as combina
ton bills-that is, they can be di
vjded into several of ten sheets each.
each part making poster by itself,
or they can be used all together, the
whole forming complete bill. AS
fast as attractions are secured for
the circus descriptions or photo
graphs are furnished the artists,
and when the sketches are approved
they are turned over to the printer
to be put upon the stone. Eleven
hundred tons of stone were used last
year by one printing house in get
