Rheumatism is classified as acute, chronic, rheumatic gout, articuilar and mercurial rheumatism. Acute rheumatism appears in the joints, one or more at a time. It is manifested by redness, pain and swelling, the suffering is intense. It is liable to attack the heart, suddenly producing a painful and dangerous complication, aften causing death in a few hours, as was the case with the wife of an ex-official of Chicago, a short time since. Only IsAt week I was called to visit, a lady suffering with acute rheumatism, six hom-a later I was called in haste to make a second visit, I found my patient suffering intensely hands clasped over the heart and struggling for breath, the disease had gone to the heart, and for three hours it was difficult to tell which would gain the mastery â€" at the fourth hour victory wm assured, and my patient was resting comfortably.

To treat rheumatism successfully, we must open all the secretory organs; the liver, kidneys and skin must be kept active, and an alterative course pursued. An infusion made from leaves of the Australian fever tree, is almost a specific in this disease, owing to its stimulating properties, when the secreting organs are kept active. For the liver the Physio- Medical liver pills have a fine action. Take for the kidneys Fl. Ex. Juniper Berries i Ouncp. " •' Dwarf Elder J Ounce. Simple Syrup .3 Ounces.

The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal publishes a monthly report on the progress of medical science, drawn from the different home and foreign publications. We present from a recent report some facts on mental disease, which are of popular interest. Unconsciousness enters into the generally accepted definition of epilepsy. While this unconsciousness is a symptom of the disease in the vist majority of cases, there are some exceptions. The following is a case in point A married woman of thirty-two years had occasional epileptic attacks of the usual con- vulsive kind out more frequently when seized, she would scream, turn pale, cry out, jump from the bed and run about the room, acting absurdly and, at times, violently. On one seizure she bit her hue- band. On coming out of the attack, she asked if she had done this. At another time, she threw the inkstand at her moth- er's head, and fully recalled the fact her- self with much sorrow. It is believed that attention in this direc- tion would show a considerable number of such cases. The matter may have import- and legal bearings, inasmuch as epileptics who commit deeds of violence are held to be irresponsible on the ground of their uncon- sciousness. In the form of insanity generally known as monomania â€" ^but for which the term par- anoia is now preferred, â€" ^the person shows signs of mental unsoundness only on particu- lar subjects, or under special conditions. Many persons who are thuis partially un- sound are attracted to this country from Germany and Italy, and readily pass as sane until lon^ after tiieir arrival, and rear families disposed to insanity. The propor- tion of such persons of €rennan and Italian parentage, found in our asylums, u double that in the asylums of their ancestral coun- try. One of the latest medical opinions in re- gard to the use of chloral may be useful in tills connection. Dr. Savaee, of the cele- brated insane asylum at Betiilem, England, •has seen so many disastrous resnlts from the drug that he fears its introduction has done more harm than 0od. He says, " It is the first thing now taken by a man of intellect who is overworked, and is eagerly sought by the nervous fash- ionable lady it is the temporary prop to the drunkard and to the doctor, in many cases, it is the means of keeping a trouble- some patient quiet." of General Hints- -Fob HicoonGH. â€" ^Hold the breatiu For Desfokdenct. â€" ^Take a swallow vinegar.

When blood is flowing from a wound, it is necessary that it be stopped, or it may re- sult in one's death. If it is a small wound, the blood may be stopped by pressing on the part. If it be arterial blood, a bandage should be drawn very tightly around the limb, just above the wound, so as to allow the blood to coagulate, and thus check its flow if the blood should be from a vein, the same should be applied just below the wound the bandage may be made tighter, by slipping a stick underneath the wrapping and twisting tightly. We can tell whether the blood is from an artery or vein, by its color, and by the manner of its flow. Ar- terial blood is a bright red, and flows in jets venous blood is dark red, and flows in a steady stream. Gentle Woman's Kevengei Husband and wife had had a little tiff. He buried his nose in a morning paper w-hile she gazed out the car window with persis- tent intentness. Thus an hour and thirty miles passed. A lady entered the car. Hus band dropped his paper and looked at her admiiringly. " Ah," said he, " that's a fine woman. And a widow, too. Don't you think she's handsome " "Yes, rather. You seem to like widows." " Indeed I do. They're just charming." Husband evidently thought this would pique his partner. But it didn't. "Alfred," said she, tenderly, and placing her hand softly on his arm, "Alfred, I guess I was in the wrong a little while ago, when I became an£-ry at you, and I'm sorry, so sorry. Will you forgive your littie wife?" " Certainly. Don't B8^y another word about it." " And you will grant a little request I have to ask of you, hubby dear " " Of course. Anything that lies in my power. 'I "Yoii say you think widows are so charm- ing " " Yes, I did say so, but " " Then make me one that's a good hus- band mine. Oh, I shall be so happy." A WOHJ)EBFUL EMFBfiOS- AmKagi "•*^P»fc ^?4^En iiM iiiit |*Mer«B Avdlenee Use of Globes. An English traveller was greatly surprised to find the run from Panama to Valparaiso longer than that from Bergen to the Straits of Gibraltar. When he was a schoolboy he had learned his geography from maps, and the maps had shown Europe on a larger scale than that on which this continent was represented. It is all right that the pupil's own continent, state, or kingdom should be represented more fuUy that other parts ot the world it is that portion of the globe with which he needs to be the most familiar. To show more of the towns, the road, tho streams, and the hills, it is necessary that the map be drawn to a larger scale. If we tried to put all the place and objects which we might want to show in our own county, for instance, upon a map drawn to the same scale as that upon which we show the main features only of a continent, the county map would be so crowded and con- fused that nothing could be distinguished. On the other hand, if we wanted to show a continent on the eame scale as a county, the map would be required a larger sheet of paper than we could procure or handle. In order to correct the erroneous impres- sions we get from these maps which are drawn to different scales, we must either travel or correct the error by the use of a globe. The latter method is the easier if not the more agreeable of the two. It can be adopted at once, now that paper globes are so cheap that they can be affor(^ in every family and school. Another difficulty with maps, which is almost as serious as that arising from the use of different seals and one mat cannot be remedied, results from the attempts to show a spherical sur- face upon a plane. We may teach the pue pil how to correct the errors of the map but the brighter the pupil the more distinct will be the impression be has of the apparent situation of places, and this impression can never be over come. Take the maps on If creator's projection, and they distort the features of the earth asour own features are distorted when we look into a curved mirror. The first lessons in g^ognphj should be given upon the globe, and the use of it should be continued through all the pupil's course. Orderly Boya. The simple matter of a boy's beiiu; trained to be orderly may seem of very sl^ht mo- ment in determining the happineM or nn- happiness ot his future home, but at least every housewife with a careless husband will a;^reciato its impwtance in practical living. A lad accustomed to have his sisteta or the servants pick up whatever he chooses to leave about wMl come some day to be a constant vexatimi to tiie tidy soul of his spouse, when he might almost as easily have been taught to aid rather than to destroy the neatness and order of his home.

The Omission Should Have Spoiled the Story. " Here," said the city editor savagely to the new reporter, who had just handed in his notes, "you have made a fatal omission in this account of the elopement of a white woman with a negro." " What is that " asked the reporter. " Why, you infernal ninny, you neglected to say that she was 'the beautiful daughter of a wealthy citizen.*" "But she isn't," protested the new repor- ter. " She's a regular old hag â€" ugly as sin, ignorant as a mule, and the daughter of a ragpicker." " Young man," replied the city editor, in a slow and solemn tone, "you had better pick up your traps and skip for awhile, and when we decide to cut loose from time- honored customs and sacred legends we'll let you know. Meanwhile this journal will continue to insert the words 'beautiful and accomplished' in all elopement articles." j^eror**! ov^:tlre afBs«pRns jects. The'iintechamber of tfi7 audience room was crowded with Generals and noble- men who had come to thank His Majesty for promotions or decorations. But ming- ling, with these-were 'authuia, ' ' iBimiltorti. professors, widows and orphans seeking pensioas, and^a number of very poor men and women who had petitions to {)reBent. There are few countries inrwhich persons of this last category would ever get a^(^h4hi% of seeing thier sovereign but in this Empire anybetiy who has anythto^ r6lisS8SbTe to ask of the Emperor is sure of an audimce. On one or two days a Wee llis Majesty receives all comers who have applied to be received, and he ceceives them alone. Every applicant takes his turi^. A master of the ceremonies opens a door, the visitor walks in and finds himself face to face with the Em- peror, who u unattended. The door closes, and the petitioner may say to the' Emperor what he likes. There is no Chamberlain or Secretary to intimidate him. The Emperor stands in a plainly furnished study, in un- dress uniform, without a star or grand cor- don, and he greets everybody wtthan engag- ing smile and a good-natured gesture of the hand which seems to say, "There is no ceremony here. Tell me your businss, and if I can help you I will." This is a truly imperial way of receiving. It impresses everybody with the fatherliness of the Emperor. The Emperor of Austria has a penetrating eye and a quick, catehing manner. By a glance he makes people feel at home, and by a word he draws from them what they have to say. Then he gives his own answer, straight out and fearlessly, but generally with an acquiescing smile, and whatever he promises is faithfully per- formed. There is nothing petty or evasive in him. He is a monarch who replies by "yes" or " no," but always with so much courtesy that the humblest of his subjecte receives from him at depai;ting the same bow as he vouchsafes to ambassadors. A most lovable trait in him is that whenever he sees anybody nervous at his pr.esence he makes the audience last until, by his kind endeavors, the nervousness has been com- pletely dispelled. This sufficiently explains His Majesty's extraordinary personal pop- ularity, so great that it forms a most solid bond of union between races which, but for an Emperor like Francis Joseph, could not live together. tiie Zulus, the SikhMhe Bnrme " " answi chant|^,w: tlfea^pwsi luA tof ^.aceftil t^umpJuoV^ M»gtharWeiystepmS;fr mvanably either preceded I the use of arms.

The ice-cream season is now fairly under way, hence it is not too early for ice-cream chestnuts to begin to put forth leaves, as it were. The softer sex is supposed to have an inordinate partiality for ice-cream. There is a story told of a woman who in stating her case to a divorce lawyer said •• I never cared much for him. I married him because he kept an ice-cream parlor, and he basely deceived me three months later by selling out and going into the hardware business. " It is useless for the impecunious but sus- ceptible young man to talk about how many people have been poisoned by ice- cream. On the other hand, the lady who is annoyed by too many admirers can thin them out by going for ice-cream. It is more genteel to run a young man 'off by the ice-cream slide than to hurt his feel- ings by asking him to stay away. In Bos- ton one day last summer a girl fainted right in front of an ice-cream saloon. She got madder than a hop when they carried her nearly a block away to a drug store. It cannot be denied that frozen lacteal nourishment congeals the sexes in a power- ful bond of sympathy and union. In aristocratic circles it is not considered au ^ait for the gentleman to take the larger plate of ice-cream, and to order one ice cream with two spoons is not reguded as in good form.

' How The Czar Travels- The Czar's recent vbit to the Cossacks was made with the most unacountable haste. He went with the Empress and the heir ep- parent a distance of 1,500 wiles to remain scarcely forty eight hours, and hurried through the various ceremonies and insti- tutions of the town of Novotcherkack with such unaccountable haste that the attendant officials were nearly worn out. To make such enormous preparations for a visit of scarcely two days appeared hardly worth while but the labor of preparation in Nov- otscherkask was a mere nothing when com- pared with the extraordinary measure of precaution taken over the whole distance of railway traversed by the Imperial trains, including the lines of four distinct railway companies. Sentinels paced warily on each side of the line night bivouacs were pitched there and there among the trees every one of the houses and huts close to the line, in- cluding those of the pointsmen and guards, was occupied by officers or men. Cossack horse men, as soon as the Cossack territory was entered, dashed along at full speed, in pursuance of orders, by the side of every passenger or goods train. A line of special constables, appointed from all the villages along the route, stood beyond the infantry guards and prevented even any stray animal from approaching too near. Every bridge and culvert was strongly guarded. Such, in short, were a few of the accompany- ing features of the Imperial progress The whole business of the railways has been completely thrown out of gear, in consequence and the collieries in the Cos- sack province have been unable to get any coal transported for more than a fortnight. • â€" â-  â€" Poor Old Grandma. In many a home grandma is a bright and winning presence, but even where she is the oppositeâ€" stiff, unsympathi zing, and querul- ous, none the less should she be surrounded by an atmosphere of loving observance, for her failings are the concomitante of age and impaired faculties. This attention should not be the perfunctory performance of an inculcated duly, but the outflow of a kind heart and generous nature. Sometimes a certain outward respect is rendered before strangers, but often the old lady ia treated by the juniors as a superflnous member of the famUyâ€" something like the fifth wheel of a coachâ€" and is shown intentional dis- respect. She is made the butt of ridicule, and the target of scorn but she is also made use of when there is any service she can ren- der.

It is sad to see an old nerson so full of melancholy mistrust of the kindly intentions of others as to be i^certain whether her presence at a pleaanra party is really desired; it is the result of the treat- ment to which she has been long subjected, and which has taught her to feel herself of no value to any one. How eager she ia t9 be loved by the grand-daughter^ who is like what she was at that age, to know something of her pleasures and her hopes.
