USE CERTAIN CORN CURE.
WHERE WIVES TRIUMPH.

In the Philippines the law which re-
lates to the property Of married pec-
pie Is entirely in favor Of the wife.
Any property a bride may possess is
never by any chance settled upon the
husband, and if he is poor and she
we'll off, he can only become at most
an administrator OF her possessions.
After death, unless she has executed
a deed in her husbands favor, under
B lawyers eye, the property goes to
her children and blood relations, but
none to her husband.
A married woman retains her maid
en- name and ADDS to it that Of her
husband with the prefix "de" and the
children bear the names Of both par
ents.
The husband symbolically endows
the bride with all his worldly posses
sions after tho marriage. In fact, it IS
clearly case in the Philippines Of
whats yours is mine and what's mine
is my own," as far as the women folk
are concerned.

ENGLISH GRIP CURE.
a FhTs1ciau's Treatment That Is GCai

4 ThTSici2G's Treatment That Is GCaE'
. satocd to Be Elective.
Dr.. J. C. Ross writes from Mancnes-
ter, England, in regard to the epidemic
CT grip in America. lie says no mat
ter how severe the form Of the afTec-
ton may be, it can be cured If proper
ly treated with decoction Of cinnamon
within "a hours Of its appearance. His
method, established on eight years
practice on cases of this class, is by
means of cinnamon administered in
large and repeated doses, so as to sat-
Urate the tissues Of a patient suffering
some fever Of microbic origin, which
thus from a fitting indus becomes an
uniting indus for the reception OF the
microbe. The microhe then ceases to
flourish and the fever runs a mild
course If the disease has existed Tor
49 hours and upward the treatment
practically yields nc result whatever.
Where the symptoms have not been
developed mere than three or four
hours the patient can return to MS
work within 4S hours. The method OF
treatment is, il the Influenza has not
existed for more than p hours, to Or
der the patient to take half an ounce
Of decoction Of cinnamon every hall
hour until six doses have been taken.
After this ha!f-ounce doses are to be
taken every hour until a hours nave
elapsed from tie commencement OF t2e
treatment. At the expiration OF the
a. hours the same desc is 10 be re-
peated every two hours until the tenn
pe-ature falls to normal. After thai
half an ounce Of the decoctio1 IS to De
given four times day for two days
The patient IS instructed not TO leave
the house for ?. hours after the Tern
perature has become normal. soI3o-
times the patients complain that the
cinnamon makes them feel sick, out
there is good reason to belieEe thas n
such cases the feeling CT nausea arises
from the influence OF the grip on the
alimentary canal, and net from the
cinnamon, because in every case where
the treatment has been persistent!y
continued the nausea hcs ceased

Do the people of New York State
know that consumption. CT tubercu-
losis, is surely coming under the con-
troll Of sanitary science and that the
death rate from that disease, which
has been tie cause Of one-seyenth OF
the total mortality, is already visibly
diminishing? asks the New York
Times. The decrease has amounted to
nearly per cent. a year for the last
four Of FIVE years. It is rot t,nzSeesson-
able 10 expect that withiI ten years
tuberculosis s!s-4TT1n T5ifhses nave become one Of
the rarer maIedies, and that within
a generation or TWO it will have
been practically stamped out in
New York, like smallpox. It is not
cure, it is prevention, that is doing
this work. Just as typhoid infection
canes in a very great majority Of
cases from Grinking-water, so the germ
of consumption finds its way into the
human system largely in milk and
dairy products. Our good friend the
cow is the great source Of this dread
full infection. Sanitary science deter
mined some years ago that we must
kill our good friend the COW as soon
as she gets consumptive; and that in
order to make sure Of her good or i'll
health We must establish regular in
specion of dairy herds by health
boards having authority to kill ali
animals found 10 be infected. It is
through this inspection and slaughter
ing Of the infected that we owe the
decrease in the number of cases Of
tuberculosis.

CHINESE ETIQUETTE
Tie Russians Make Further Study OF 0rl
ertal Pecuiarities.


ental Pecuiiarities.
The Russians have been making
something of a study Of Chinese man
ners and etiquette, and their period.
Gals are reporting what has been
learned. The latest number, Of Russ
kiiviestnik says 1t is not surprising that
the Celestrials consider Europeans
bashar;ans when they see continually
what they consider bad manners ard
breaches CT etiquette on the part Of
white men. The proper thing, accord
ing to the Chinese notion, is diametri'
caily opposed to the European idea.
For instance, when a Chinese vel
comes a visito: to his house, he does
not remove his hat, if lie happens to
have it on. He puts his hat On i be IS
caught without it. The seat Of honor
at the table IS at the left o. the host.
It would be considered an ottence if
the guest inquired about the health OF
the hostess, or, still worse, expressed
q desire to be presented to her. a
Chinese takes offence il told that he
looks younger than he is. The older
the man the more he is respected, inde'
pendently OF his qualities, and, there
FORE Chinese wishes to appear older
than be really IS. lie willingly for
gives many offences, but should any
one happen to tread on his foot be
will refuse to accept the most humble
apologies. When q son dies IN q Chinese
farnil~ the bereaved father considers
il proper to show strangers Q smiling
courtenance, 10 matter what his suf-
ferirGs may be.
The Russian newspaper asserts that
there is 4 Minister Of Etiquette n
China known as Li-joy. Ancient books
on manners are accepted by him as au'
thority. The books include 200 vol
umcs. Some CT the rules are DRAGON

not even build house according to his
taste. No matter how rich he IS it IS
not proper for him to build finer
or q higher house than that Of his
| neighbor if the latter happens to be Of
superior rank socially. IN Chinese
etiquette there are eight varieties Of
the bow. Ignorance Of Chinese ideas
Of proprtsty with regard to tie bow
has,often caused embarrassment.
