On the 9th Of September, 1855, the
French captured Malakoff, strongly
fortified hill which commanded the
town and harbor of Sebastopol, and
that same night the Russians blew up
the Forts Nicholas, Quarantine and AL
exander, and the Flagstaff and Gar

after setting fire to the town, crossed
by a bridge Of boats to the north side
of the harbQr and evacuated the place

His bravery at the battle of Cedar

though he himself was wounded dur

Acute Indipenfion.

| Acute Indigestion
| Acute indigestion may result from
many causes, but when it follows i'm
mediately upon a holiday feast, it is
usually attributable to overdistention
Of the stomach, aggravated, perhaps,
by the presence Of such indigestible
things as pastry and plum pudding.
1t occurs a little oftener in children,
but in them 1t Ia rarely so serious in
its consequences as 1t is in adults,
for nausea Is more readily induced
and more promptly yielded to, and as
soon as the stomach has got rid Of
its burden, the trouble Is at an end.
An adult, on the other hand, strug-
giles against the feeling of oppression,
and often 1ntensifes 1t while seeking
to relieve it by taking stimulating po-
tions.
In many cases the first indication Of
the disturbance is. loss Of conscious
ness or a violent CONFUSION resem-
bling an epileptic seizure. Sometimes,
indeed, it is difficult to distinguish the
attack from one of heart failure or an
apoplexy, for both these conditions
are favored by overindulgence. A dis
tinction Is important, however, for
neglect of appropriate treatment in
either condition may favor a fatal ter
mination.
The old advice to quit meal before
a feeling Of safety has been obtained
Is still good; one should cease at least
before a sense of discomfort has been
produced, and room should always be
allowed for the secretion of the gastric
juice, which in an adult often amounts
to nearly quart. When the walls of
the stomach have been distended to
their utmost capacity by food, the
addition Of so much fluid would seem
Of itself enough to induce the attack
or If the distention prevents the Sc
cretion of the fluid, as it does nor
NAL muscular movements, the process
Of digestion is delayed, the food Is re-
tanned too long in the stomach, it un-
dergoes abnormal decomposition, in
flammatlon is induced, and this ex-
tending to the small intestine may lead
to more protracted Illness.
In the treatment of acute indiges-
ton, the production Of nausea should
be favored. When vomiting occurs, it
should not be checked until the stom-
ach has been relieved Of its burden.
If 1t does not occur spontaneously, it
should generally be induced.
If unconsciousness or a CONFUSION
has sIlDerVene6 nhvsicIan must ho
called without delay, for it may be
necessary to administer an emetic
simultaneously.
Following this, a laxative is gen.
orally given, and the diet for a few
days Is limited to easily digestible,
unlrritating food. Milk, Of course, is
the safest form Of nourishment, ex-
cept for those with whom 1t does not
agree, and the addition to 1t of little
lime-water or Vichy will often remove
all bjectton.-Youth's Companion.

Troublesome Children,

Everything is relative, after all

proper regard for behavior.
When I saw the old soldier, says Mr..
Muzzey, he was the sole survivor OF
those who witnessed the Battle of
Bunker Hill. At the age of 95 years
he was attending a Whig celebration
held at Boston in 1850, and there met
him. He was a good-looking old man
with a large, well-shaped head, blue
eyes and mild expression. His whole
countenance beamed with beneVolence.

said:

those boys on an occasion of this sort" +"
"Why, how old are theyT I asked,
wondering if he could mean his grand

cLEVeLAND's REAL INCOME.
Authoritative Statement About Much
Discussed Matter.

DAS@uSSEu HAabtGTS
After a considerable period Of be-
lief that Mr.. Cleveland had become
comparatively rich as the result OF f.
nancla: operations in association with
his friend, e. G. Benedict, the broker,
a story to the other extreme Is now
going tie rounds to the effect that his
income is only $1,000 a year, says
Harper's Weekly. The truth is that
Mr.. Cleveland's income from his In
vest.nents is between $4,000 and $10-
600, to which he adds an average Of
about $1,000 by writing occasiona! es-
says for publication. He might have
acquired a larger fortune, doubtless,
but for the fact that he would never
permit his bankers to buy or sell stocks
on margins. Mr.. Benedict, however,
makes his few investments, and they
are generally wise ones.
Some yedrs ago Mr. Cleveland had
$1,000 to spare and Mr.. Benedict OBJ
tatned for him the right, which he
availed himself of, to subscribe for the
stock of a projected trust company.
The knowledge that the former PreSI-
dent was to become one of their share
holders inspired the promoters with
brilliant idea. After consultation, hey
sought Mr.. Benedict, and through him
offered Mr.. Cleveland the Presidency
Of the company at a salary of 100000
a year. 1t was legitimate undertak'
ing, backed by reputable men, but MI.
Cleveland somewhat reluctantly de-
clined on the ground that he was un'
acquainted with the details Of the busi-
ness and that the condition OF MS
health would not permit Of the severe
application requisite to effective serV'
Ice.
Again he was urged to accept, Will
the assurance that his duties would %
nominal, his mere official connection
with the company being considered
sufficient recompense for his remuner-
alton. Mr.. Cleveland replied simply
that that would seem to him too much
like selling the use of his name, which,
Of course, he could not do. That closed
the incident.
