MEDICAL USE OF TUNNELS.
London Mothers Who Take Their
Children Underground for
the Foul Air Remedy.

Quite a new use has been found
for the two-penny tube and the
other underground railways. In adj
dition to being methods of quick To-
comotion, they are also, in the opin-
ion of many trusting mothers who
have little faith in the pharmacopeia,
important sanatoria warranted to
cure many of childhoods' maladies.
Tunnel air, it seems, is good for
Group, also for whooping cough and
various other ailments.
Let us hope the women will not
get the idea into their heads that 1T
is substitute for vaccination, says
the London Telegraph. A doctor
who was travelling on a railway no
ticed that woman in the compart-
ment almost pulled down the window
when they entered tunnel, and held
outside u child whom she was car
rying, so that the youngster might
get the full benefit of the foul at
mosphere; and when he asked the
reason of this extraordinary per-
Torrance she told him that tunnel
air" had been found to be com
plete cure for the Group. And the
other day an east End mother was
discovered by a guard on the Inner
circle" because she had been told
by herbalist and bonesetter that
a sulphurous atmosphere was good
for the whooping cough.
Formerly the unfailing specific for
the aforementioned disorder was a
visit to a gas works, but owing,
doubtless, to the advance of science,
the underground railway has taken
the place of the gaseous system OF
pathology. Thus new and bene-
fetal era opens for tubes and tun-
nels, and their shareholders.

The portrait was sent by Mrs William
Nicholson, but who she is the depart
ment is unable to discover. Captain
Percival was sent to Morocco with his
frigate to bring back a cargo of jack
asses for the government, and in order
to show his contempt for the employ
ment of a war vessel for such n mis-
sion, on entering New York harbor he
ran in all his guns and placed the head
of a iackass through each port as the
ship sailed in. The sight of double
row of iackaAes' heads protruding
from the places where guns were
looked for created a sensation at the
time and "Mad Jack" narrowly es-
capped a reprimand.
