Medicines In Pneumonia.

Dudley Morgan declares that there
are some cases of pneumonia which
require only intelligent and systematic
guidance and nursing. others need
little medicine, but when it is indi-
Gated it should be given promptly and
energetically. Even in the most try
ing cases there is little else needed
than digitalls, strychnine, and ice. In
nearly all cases of pneumonia it is a
good plan to start with quiet and rest,
unloading of the bowels when neces.
sary, variety of nourishing liquid
food, and an ice bag on the chest in
the region of the pain and congestion,
and also over the precordia If neces-
sary. Trying cases are those in which
the patient is steady or hard drinker.
In pneumonia digitalis should be used
to strengthen and nourish the heart
and to reduce a. rapid pulse.-Medical
Record.

rows of heavy canvas tents built on
light wooden frames. The sides can
be raised and lowered, as weather
conditions permit. Here the patients
are given the freedom of the camp.

HUMANITY AND ITS DUTIES.
lean jacques Rsusseau's Essay on
Proper Education.

People pity the lot OF child; they
do not see that the human race would
have perished if man had not begun
by being a child.
We are born weak; we have neeu
of strength; we are born stupid; we
have need of judgment. All that we
have not at our birth, but which We
need when we are grown, is given US
by education.
The natural man is complete in HIM
self; he is the numerical unit, the aO-
solute whole, who is related only 10
himself or to his fellow man. Civil
lied man is but fractional unit that
is dependent upon it's denominator'
and whose value consists in its rela-
ton to the whole, which is the social
organization. What would
man be worth for others who had
been educated solely for himself?
In the natural order of things, all
men being equal, their common Voca-
ton is manhood, and whoever is well
trained for that cannot fulfill badly
any vocation connected with 1t.
Whether my pupil be destined for the
army, the church ,or the bar, concerns
me but little. Regardless of the voca-
ton of his parents, nature summons
him to the duties of human life. To
live, is the trade 1 wish to teach him.
A father who merely feeds and
clothes the children he has begotten
so far fulfills but third of his task.
To the race, he owes men; to society,
men of social dispositions; and to
the state, citizens. Every man who
can pay this triple debt and does not
pay it, is guilty of crime, and the
more guilty, perhaps, when the debt
is only half paid. He who cannot full
fill the duties of father has no right
to become such.
The proper study for man is that OF
his relations. While he knows himself
only through his physical being, he
ought to study himself through his
relation with things, and this is the
occupation of his childhood; but when
he begins to feel his moral nature, he
ought to study himself through his
relations with men, and this is the oc-
cupation of his entire life, beginning
at the point we have now reached

Hoezlaert, that the great fruiterers

dictu, even New York, receive the
bulk of their winter supplies.g Every
Friday hundreds of chests of choice
fruit, admirably packed, are de-

AN EXECUTION IN INDIA.
How a Sentence of Death Was Car
ried Out on Streets Of Hyderabad.

The decision as to whether the
murderer should be executed or I'M
prisoned for life was, says the Civil and
Military Gazette in describing an exc
cution at Hyderabad of Pathan who
had shot his brother-in-law, as is
usual, left to the murdered mans rela-
tives, and his wife, the sister OF the
murderer, voted for death.
On the day for the execution there
appeared in the streets a band OF
sweepers armed with leafy twigs, fol-
lowed by a squad of the city Arab
police with fixed bayonets. Then
came the criminal, dressed in new
white garments, with new halter
around his neck and new ropes at
tached to his arms. The ends OF
these ropes were held by policemen
The ordinary thing is for the con-
demned man to walk, but in this case
he was so overcome that he had to be
conveyed in a jutka.
On arriving at the fatal spot the
murderer was made to kneel down,
while the policemen handed over
charge of the cords to the execution
er's attendants one of whom, seizing
the end of the halter stood in front
of the felon, while others held the
cords pinioning his arms behind. The
executioner, brandishing broad,
heavy sword, keen as a razor, in a
suggestive fashion, and prancing up
towards his victim asked three times
in loud voice: who authorizes the
execution?" The chief of the city po-
lice on duty thrice replied: THE
Amin"
Then an attendant armed with a
long needle pricked the condemned
man in the back, causing him to start
forward. At the same instant those
holding the cords laid themselves
back in opposite directions as in a
tug-of-war contest, with the result
that the wretch's neck was stretched;
and, following the reply Of the chief
of police, the eXecutioner's blade de-
scended fair and true on the neck,
severing the head completely.
