with music.
The party was given Mark Twain b.
George Harvey, Of Harpers. II had
been the intention to give him the
dinner on Thanksgiving day, when he
was seventy, but Mark Twain said he
could not eat two big dinners in the
same evening, so the celebration was
postponed a few days.
In the march to the dining room
Mark Twain escorted Mrs. Mary +.
Wilkins Freeman and behind him fol.
lowed The mixed literary curlosities as
one witness called them. Andrew Car
reggie led in Agnes Repplier accom-.

Burnett, Mrs. Perry Belmont, VIII

Peter Dunno (Mr. DoOley) and George
W. Gable talked along with each other
in their best dialects. Brander Mat

viii N. Harden, James B. Connolly
and Elizabeth Jordan among those
around him. In the middle Of the
room was single table Of social lead
ers, including Mrs. Orme Wilson, Mrs,
W. D. Sloane and Mrs. Bayliss. But
barring these latter nearly all the $50
guests were writers whose literary
fame has reached an enviable point.
Twain was a notable figure even In
this splendid gathering. Tall, thin.
rugged, his great head topped with a
mass of pure white hair, he stood there
and told hcw he had broken all the
rules of health and still beat the doc
tor" Underlying all his fun, how
ever, could he seen sound philosophy
which summed up in two words was

SUMMER DIARRHOEA.
Its Prevention and Management Among
 the Tenement Children.

Medical Record, July 22. 1905.
 c. c. Kerley s&yG that the reduction of the large infant mortality during the summer Is to be accomplished by the education of the rmothers and by the possibility of their procuring reasona- bly pure milk supply. the latter to be effected by the establishment Of numer- ous milk depots throughout the tene- ment districts under the management of the Health Department. Kerleys standing order in every household or children is as follows: With the nrst appearance of intestinal derangement give two teaspoonfuls of castor oil, ana stop milk. Give barley water or rice water until further advised by the physician. The further treatment is simple. The child should be kept as ouiet as possible and in the coolest room in the house, and the quarters as spacious as are to be had. Boiled water Is given as a drink. and frequent sponxing during the very hot days are advised. The cereal water, plain or dextrinized, is to be continued untii the acute symptoms have subsided In large measure, regardless or the ase of the patient. Barley-water or fice- water Is given in the strength or one. . half ounce of the cereal to the pint or water. When milk Is resumed 1t IS given skinned. in small quantities. Tn cereal water; never more than a naiI ounce In the feeding. Condensed mix given in amounts of one-half to one drachm in feeding of cereal water Is often we'll digested when fresh milk would not be. The authors experience Is that just four drugs may be relied on In diarrhea. and these are calomel' castor oil, bismuth. and opium. BIS muth must be given in large doses 10 be of service, and opium, which must be used with care. Is best gwen III technioue of and indications for riga ton of the colon are then described. and 1t Is stated that the measure shouid not he used indiscriminateiy. keriey never washes out the colon oftener than once In twelve hours. ana usuaily ohce in twenty-four hours sufffces. Tn COT. cIusion 1t is urged that the matter or nrophylaxis be taken up by the num- cinal government.
