It seems to be adinitte#aow by iH the â- orgeoas who have been consalfeed in tiie case of the Crown Prince of Prasaia that the hero of Sadowa, Weuseabnrg, and Worth is snfferiog from cancer of the larynx, a disease for which there is small chance of cnie by operation. In this country camcer has attracted widespread attention during the last few years on account of the number of prominent men who have fallen victims to it. The late Senator Hill of Georgia, Gea. Grant, John Roach, and several others of note have died of this painful maladv. Cancer is preeminently a disease of the white race, and apparently of representa- tives of an advanced degree of civiliz3^tion. It is rare in the colored races. Among the negroes in the South, before emanicipation, It was extremely infrequent. Some prac- tioners of large experience had never seen a c tse in the negro before the late war. Dar- ing the last ten years, however, a number have been observed. It is three times as frequent in women as in men. It is a dis- ease of advanced life, over two-thirds of the cases occurring after the fortieth year. It is hereditary in about one-fourth of the cases. It often occurs, however, as a conse- quence of injury or protracted inflamma- tion in cases where no hereditary influence exists. Any organ or part of the body may be at- tacked by cancer. It is most frequent in the female breast, uterus, the stomach, liver, lips, and tongue, but it is also found in the brain and spinal cords, in bones, and; in rare cases, even in the heart. Cancer is undoubtedly becoming more frequent. In England the rate of increase of deaths of cancer per million of inhabitants was 64 per cent, from 1861 to 1884. Daring the ten years ending 879 the total number of deaths from cancer in England and Wales was 111,300, an average of over 11,300, per year. The ratio of increase in this country seems to be even greater than abroad. The high pressure under which people live at present seems to have something to do with this increase. The statistics pf the last census show that cancer is much more pre- valent in the Northern and Eastern S :ates than in the South and West. Surgeons are beginning to attribute to depressed condi- tions of the nervous system a lar^e share in the causation of cancer. In the cases of Gen. Grant and Air. Roach, the outbreak of the disease seemed to follow closely upon buisness troubles which came upon them. Smoking is popularly credited with the production of cancer of the lips and tongue, snd there seema good reason to accept this as a cause. Women, who arc so fre- quently subject to cancer, rarely suffer with the disease as it affects the lips and torgue. It is said that in some parts of Brittany, where women smoke pipes and cigarettes, they suffer from cancer of the lips as often as the men. Cancer of the larynx or windpipe is one of the rarer forms of the malady. Ho .vever, during twenty years, from 1866 to 1886, the larynx has been extirpated for cancer about seventy-five times. It has been done three or four times during the present year in this country. About two-thirds of the cases succumb to the operation, while of those who recover a largd proportion die from a reccirrence of the disease. Cancer cures are found everywhere vaunt- ing special caustics, warranted to remove the cancer with certainty and without dan- ger. Most of these caustics contain a large, proportion of arsenic, and if not used with great care may cause grave symptoms of poisoning. In several cases death has result- ed from absorption of the poison. All of these applications are more or less painful and much slower in action than the judi- cious usejof the|knif e, hotiron, electric cautery or electrolysis. A temporizing policy is a bad one to adopt in dealing with a cancer. It should either be treated energetically or be let alone. In spite of the bad results following opera- tions upon the larynx or stomach, the prospects of permanent cure when other organs are attacked are much more favorable. Recent statistics of cancer of the br^^ast show that about one case in ten is perma- nently cured by operation. Even when it recurs it is apt to be milder and less painful,, and life is at all events prolonged. The most favorable results are shotm by opera- tions upon the lip, of which over one-half remain well after thorough extirpation. The fact that cancer is at first a local dis- ease, and curable by operation, if taken in time, is becoming more generally known, and people no longer look upon it with the dread which it formerly inspired. The earlier the aid of the surgeon is sought the more favorable the prospect of a thorough removal of the growth and of a permanent cure. No medicine is known which will arrest the disease. â€" New York Sun. bat it ahoald on no Moonnt, bo used day.

School Hygiene in Winter* In summer the child is greatly favored by the free, natural ventOation of the school- room the wide range of his sports his sympathy with exaberent nature, and the long vacation, with its varied rambles, its frequent bathings, its exhilarating sense of freedom, and, perhaps, with its change of air. The absence of these favoring circumstan- ces in winter suggests greater attention at that time to the physical condition of school children. Their food should be suited to the season. Fat is to the body what coal is to the stove. It is simply fuel. No sailors are allowed in expeditions to the North Pole who cannot digest an abundance of fat. The child can scarcely withstand our Northern cold only as he carries within him.a copious source of heat. He not only should have, but should, if necessary, be trained to love, fat meat, gravies and well- cooked rashers. Where oatmeal is an important part of the daily diet, the large proportion of fat it contains meets the need in part, and so does the well-buttered bread, but it is well to add daily the fat of meat. But whUe we introduce heatprodnciog food within the system, we must guard the heat from too rapid loss. The child may be exposed to extremely low temperatures. Good woolen flannel should be worn next the skin all winter, while the outside cloth- ing 'should be thick and warm. Woolen stockings, thick boots and good rubbers are indispensable, and the child should be taught the danger of going with cold or damp feet. It is important, also, to remember the physical diflFerence in children. In some of them the recuperative power is strong, and asserts itself at once in others a sight cold means death, or a protracted invalidism. But the school-room itself nee Js constant looking after. If it is not properly ventilat- ed, the vitiated air lowers the tone of the physical system, and renders it very suscept- ible to colds and other ailments. A tendency to colds will also be caused by too hi£'h a temperature, which weakens the resisting power of the skin. On the other hand, the weakly are sure to suffer from too low a tempsrature. This should be regulated by a thermometer, and should not be allowed to vary much from 70° Fahrenheit. We must add that, while a child's food should be ample, it should be simple, avoid- ing what merely pamper the appetite. Many a so-called "cold" is due to distarb- ance from undue eating. IfolumuneduuHni- Ever sinoe Canon Isaao T*jlae read Ut sow oelebiated papor at the recent Chnroh Caticress in Wolvwhampton, th« pnwmn amivngpenty of Moha medanjsa^ and the view aad position taken by the Cjnoa, have been tiie subjects of general disonsnon u Britain and indeed throughout the world. In seonlar, as well as in religious joarnals, controvaiy has raged with a good deal of keeimess, yet with more candor than was to be expected in the circumstances. Canon Taylor's paper was received by the Congress widi a combined feeling of amazs- ment and incredulity, and the lufther the discussion goes the more ground there is for believing that while some of his statistics are notrdiable and while some of his oon- closions may be too sweeping, his general position about the progress ch Islam, espec- ially in Africa, and abou: the beneficial in- fluence which it is exerting on many savage African nations, is quite unassailable. What the Canon contended for was that, as a mis- sionary religion, Islam is in a large portion of the world far more successful than Chris- tianity, and, he aflded, far more adapted to to the mental and social condition of many uncivilized nations. Here is how this Canon of the Church of England stated the case â€" " Whan Mohammedanism is embraced by a Negro tribe, paganism, devil worship, fetichism, canaibalism, human sacrifice, in- fanticide, witchcraft at once disappear. The natives begin to dress, filth is replaced by Care of the Teeth. " What should a man use to clean his teeth " was the question asked of a well- known dentist recen*" The dentist re- plied at once " Noii. l^ut water. There are more good teeth ruined by so-called dentifrices than by all other causes in the world put together. The object of the makers ot these dentifrices, is, of course, to S reduce a preparation that will, with very ttle rubbing of the brush, make the teeth look perfectly clean and white. To accom- plish this they put pumice stone, and some- times strong alkalies in their preparations. Pumice stone wiU unquestionably take all tartar off the tooth, and will also, just as unquestionably take all the enamel with it. An. alkali will make a yellow tooth look white in a few seconds, but before a week has passed it will have eaten away nearly all the enamel and utterly destroyed the tooth. In walking along the street you often see a ' fakir' by way of advertising his patent dentifrice, call a snuJl boy from the crowd near by, and, opening the. boy's mouth, rub the dentiftioe on his dirty teeth, and in a minute almost, take off all the tar- tar and make the teeth look perfectly pure and white. New a man like that nldr ought to be arreted, for he has forever des- troyed the boy's Hetii, and in alew num^ the poor yoongstar irill not have-* manad toota in his bead. l|he imtiSAif^,pom- poeed chiefly of pomloe stone are bdt si'bad as thoae ooatainmg an alkali, buu»uni they willnotdestacoy t^toetihsD. anifiUx.;.lHit if used haUtoaltylh^^Rin ta^fiSSwr^^ â- troy thflin in thft eii(L • I dMold ai^Msi4JasKk^:sLllAiiMHHt JallH^ Tiss nn flitnHfrlmt iff nny dnenriiiWi.

This membrane lines the cavities of the eyes, ears, nose, month indeed, every cavity which opens directly or indirectly to the air. The mucous, membrane of each of these organs is liable to inflammatioii, and consequent morbid increase of mucous, and hence we may speak of catarrh of the stomach, bowels, bla ider. The inflammation may be acute or chronic. As popularly used, the word catarrh generally refers to the mucous membrane of the nostrils, pharynx (back mouth) and air tubes. An ordinary " cold" in the " head' is a temporary catarrh. Catarrhal deafness is most commonly connected with the middle ear, the tym- panitic c-ivity â€" the portion next beyond the drum. This cavity opens into the month through tha Eustachian tube, and is thus supplied with the necessary air. Now the mucous membrane that lines this tube may swell and close it up, in con- sequence of inflammation extending from the nostrils and pharynx. Deafness, more or less, may be due to this closure. Again, the mucous meinbrane which lines the cavity of the middleT ear i^Sy itself be inflamed. If this is long continued, the. membrane becomes thickened the ossicles â€" the little bonesthat ^nduct the vibrations of sound from the drubi to the nerves of the internal ear â€" may be greatly interirred with the mucus may accumulate suid be- come solid, its fluid portion being absorbed or it may become purulent, as in abscess, aoid may eat its way through the drum. Thus deafness, in various degrees, may result. As to the treatment^of catarrhral deafness, we can give no other advice than to urge an early resort to the best expert within calL In this iray alone, in many cases, can per- manent, aad perhaps complete, deafness be avoide'^.. Themedical and surslcal resources are now vastly beyond what wey were fifty years ago. Bat we must add, let all who seem spec- ially liable to catarrhal difficulties avoid exposure to oold winds, wear flannel next to the skin, and, in every ~practioidle way, maintain a high d^jree of general health. " Beating" m t^e ear is due to an increas- ed sensitiveness of the nerve, causing it to feel che throbbing of some minute artery. In many cases of ear troubles thwe is a ring- ing (ttnntau]in the ears» which may be of almost every conceivable denee uid variety.

Hospitality becomes a religions duty, drunkenness becomes rare, gambling is forbidden, immodest dances and the promiscuous intercourse of the sexes cease, female chastity is regarded as a vir- tue, industry replaces idleness, license gives place to law, order and sobriety prevail, blood feuds, cruelty to animals and to slaves are forbidden. A feeling of hamanity, be- nevolence and brotherhood is inculcated. Polygamy and slavery are regulated and their evils are restrained. Islam, above all, is the most powerful total abstinence association in the world, whereas the ex- tension of European trade means the extension of drunkenness and vice, and the degradation of the people while Islam in- troduces a civilization of no low order, in- cluding a knowledge of reading and writing, decent clothing, personal cleanliness, ver- acity and self-respect. Its restraining and civilizing effects are marvellous. How little have we to show for the vast sums of money and all the precious lives lavished upon Africa Christian converts are reckoned by thousands, Moslem converts by millions. These are the stern facts we have to face." In reference to the progress of Islamism duriag the last twenty years, it has been shown that the Canon is altogether astray. But as to the influence for good being ex- erted by the Mohammedan missionaries in Africa there can be little if any doubt, if the testimony of competent and so far un- prejudiced witnesses is to be allowed to go for anything. In the one matter of drunkenness the so- called Christian nations are doing more evil by|their sale of intoxicating liquors in the " Dark Continent " than all the Christian missionaries are doing good. The great Af- rican traveller, Joseph Thomson, who claims to write " as one bavin? the interests of Christianity deeply at heart," declares that from personal examination he is ready to inaintain against all comers that on the Af- rican West coast, m the neighborhood of all British Colonies, "for every African who is influenced for good by Christianity a thousand are driven into deeper degradation by the gin trade." Against all the infamy and degradation of that gin traffic Moham- medanism lifts up its earnest and indignant protest, while all who are pushing that trade in blood and are profiting by it are nominally at least Christians, and it may be in some cases genuine ones as well. This of itself makes a disastrous and scandalis ing contrast, -and it is not surprising, though it may be to be regretted, that this tells against that Christianity which such p 'of essors both degrade and disgrace. Dr. Blydea, a full-blooded Negro, and a very accompIiMhed, scholarly man, said much the same thing as Canon Taylor many years ago, using the following language :â€" " B3tween Sierra L^one and Egypt the Mohammedans are the only great intellec- tual, moral and commerci'\l power. Islam has taken possession of and shaped the so- cial, political and religious life of the most intelligeiit tribes. No one can travel any distance in the interior without finding that Islam is the ruling influence. Throughout Mohammedan Africa edacation is compul- sory. A man might now travel across the Continent from Sierra L^one to Cairo, or in another direction, from Lagos to Tripoli, sleeping in a village every mght, except in the Sahara, and in every village he would find a school." Mr. Thompson emphasizes the same thing in the following terms â€" ° " The spectacle of the eamestness.poverty and simplicity of the Moslem missionaries has a poweriul effect on the minds of the Negroes, while the greed and the evil lives of Europeans go far to neutralize any gco 1 results that may accrue from the teaching of Christianity." It is ft thonnnd pities that the drunken' immorftl, inoonsistaaeliva^ « many pro- fessed ChristiaujlKraldbe followed by tiu;^ disast»tt oonse«t»nces,'lAit if flbch «M the faotsi^ikWltitheyjriioiildj bs kiMmte, aoth^Bontft eCKlotiv* remedy nay be ap- plied. Things hare owne to sodi a pus m mwy parts oT Africa tbki inany of the most jiidi- cions and experiraced of the Christian missionaries are of opinion that the present rum trade is having a farmore ruinoos influ- ence upon the physical, moral and social condition of the natives than ever had the have traffis in its palmiest and most in- famous days. It may be all very well to maunder about such liqaors being " good creatures of Gtod " and to be used moderate- ly and with " thankssiying," but in the meantime, through their bUghtius and most degrading influencns, men in raaltitudes aire being rained and the fair name of ChiiBtian- ity is being lightly spoken evil of. VerroiiB Bnlgeota. Some affect to believe that nervous sub- jects feign their ailments for the purpose of attracting attention and sjrmpathy. It is quite true they frequently exaggerate their sufferings, but that is no excuse for denying their existence. Besides, it is natural to exaggerate a grievance so long as it remains unrecognized. Others admit the reality of the diseased snnEations, but maintain that the only way to abolish them is by means of reason, ind they insist that " plain speakr ing" has effected a cure. This fancy is, however, very far from the fact, which is that the patients have transferred their complaints to a more sympathetic ear. It is not easy even for healthy persons to dis- regard their sensations and act according to pure reason. It is said that their are few travelers who can decend the Rigi Railway without leaning all their weight against the back of their seat in order to "ease the locomotive." Reason tells them plainly that their efforts are futile but although they assent to her teaching they cannot re- duce it to practice. If it be so difficult for a healthy man to ast contrary to his sensa- tions, how can we expect it of one whose nerves a^'c in a condition of excessive irrit- ability, a condition wnich renders him liable to impressions of unusual intonsity? When Dives, returning from the banquet, asserts that there are two moons in sight we do not hope there and then to convince him of his error. Not until •' the wine is out" shall we be able to persuade him to the contrary. By that time, however, he will not require persuasion â€" his owa observation will satisty him. So it is with a nervous patient. The nervous system must be restored to health before argument can have due effect, and when the nerves are thus restored argument is needless. All foolish fancies and diseas- ed sensations will then gradually disappear.

Germany is now discussing the authentic- ity of a prophecy attributed to a friar in a Bavarian convent, who lived in the seven- teenth century, as it completely foresha dowed the strange complication of evils with which Germany is now threatened. The effect of the prophecy is alleged to be that a Hohenzollern Prince would unite all the German States under one crown that he would live to be ninety-six; that he would be predeceased by his son, and that the successor to the throne would have the use of but one hand. According to his pro- phecy the Emperor would have still five years to live, and the doctors say that it is possible the Crown Prince may live for four. As to the rest, Prince William has had a shrivelled arm from his birth. It is said that documentary proof of this remarkable vaticination can be produced, but it is not stated that anyone has seen it.
