Bulbar hypertrophy of the fingers and curving of the nails, are signs of cyanosis. 5. Hypertrophy of the spongy portion of the bones indicates rachitis. 6. The prince between, the eylids of a thick and purulent secretion from the Mei- bomian glands may indicate great prostra- tion of the general powers. 7. Passive congestion of the conjunctival vessel indicates approaching death. 8. Long-continued lividity as well as liv- idity produced by emotion and. excitement, the respiration continuing normal, are in- dices of a fault in the formation of the heart or the great vessels. 9. A temporary lividity indicates the ex- istence of a grave acute disease, especially of the respiratory organs. 10. The absence of tears in children four months old or more suggests a form of disease which will usually be fatal. 11. Piercing and acute cries indicate a severe cerebro -spinal trouble. 12. Irregular muscular movements, which are partly under the control of the will during the hours when one is awake, indicate the existeflce of chorea. 13. The contrjction of the eyebrows, to- -ether with the turning of the nead and eyes to avert the light is a sign of cephalalgia. A. When the child holds his hand upon hii head, or strives to rest the head upon the bosom of his mother or nurse, he may be suflering from ear disease. 16. When the fingers are carried to the mouth, and there is, beside, great agitation apparent, there is probably some abnormal condition of the larynx. 16. The act of scratching or of pinching the nose in children indicates the presence of worms or some intestinal trouble. 17. When a child turns his head co n stantly from one side to another, there is a suggestion of soipe obstruction in the larynx. 18. A hoarse and indistinct voice is sug- gestive of laryngitis. 19. A feeble and plaintive voice indicates a trouble in the abdominal organs. 20. A slow and intermittent respiration accompanied with sighs, suggests the pre- sence of cerebral disease. 21. If the respiration is intermittent but accelerated there is capillary bronchitis. 22. If it is superficial and accelerated, there is some inflammatory trouble of the larynx and trachea. 23. A strong and sonorous cough suggests apaamodic croup. 24. A hoarse and rough cough is an in- dication of true croup. 25. When the cough is clear and distinct, there is bronchitis. 26. When it is suppressed and painful, there is pneumonia anc^^leurisy. 27. If the cough is convulsive, it indi- cates whooping cough. 28. Sometimes one s«»es a dry and pain- less cough in the course of typhoid or inter- mittent fever, in the course of diiBcult dentition, or an attack of worms, under these conditions the cough is often due only to a bronchitis, which has been caused by the original disease. system it poshed to its ntmoat capacity, and long is the list of victims that -follows its over-stimulation.

Vegetable, Animal and Mixed Food. J. Hartman relates his experience and impressions as follows For 224 days he existed ou vegetable diet alone, then for two mouths on animal diet, lastly for six months on a mixed diet. The results he gave in tables prepared by Prof. Valentine. He lived for 14 days on oats, grits and bread alone, then on beans and bread, etc. The increase and decrease in the food, drinking water, weight ot the body, waste matter, and the influence of the one on the other were carefully given. The results are summed up as follows While taking vegetable food the weight of the body in- creased markedly, however, not in a regu- lar and continuous manner, but by certain substances there was an increase. Under animal food some show an increase, some a decrease in the body weight. The result of the mixed diet was still more complicated.. He drew interesting conclusions from the ' results as to the organization of pathological changes from the effects of diet. Of most interest was his conclusion, viz that a mixed diet is the most natural and reason- able food for man. Make Her Pillow Soft.

There is no remedy of such general appli- cation and none so easily obtainable as water, and yet nine persons in ten will pass it by in an emergency, to seek for something of less eflcacy. There are but few cases of illness where water should not be given the highest place as a remedial agent. A strip of flannel or napkin folded length- \nae and wrung out of hot water and ap- plied around the neck of a child that has the croup will usually bring relief in ten minutes. A towel folded several times and quickly wrung out of hot water and applied over the seat of pain, in tootache or neural- gia, will genemly afford prompt relief. This treatment in colic works like magic. We have knoMm cases that have resisted treatment for hours yield .to this' in ten min- utes. There is nothing that will so prompt- ly cut short a congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism, aa hot water when applied promptly and thoroughly. Pieces of cotton batting dipped in hot water and applied to all sores amd new cuts, bruises and sprains, is the treatment now adopted in ho^itala. Tea and Coffee to Ch^dren.

A farmer, hearing that money was cheap in the city, came to see about it. He enter- ed a bank, called for the cashier and said " Mr. Cashier, is it true that money is abun- dant and cheap " The cashier answered in the affirmative. "Can I get some?" queried the countryman. " Certainly," replied the moneyed man. " Well, just lend me a hun- dred dollars for six months." The cashier said: "You can have the money, we have plenty of it, but it is necessary for us to have coUateraL" The farmer winced and responded: "Collateral! What's that?" The matter was explained. Then the plant- er of the soil, illuminated on the subject of political economy, with a broad grin, rejoin- ed " Ah, I see how it is, Mr. Cashier. Mo- ney is plentiful and not high, but it is this coUaterai that is scarce and hard to get." A Domestic Treasure. A lawyer lately, boasting ot the neatness and regularity of his wife, said, " If I get up in the night, however pitch dark, I can, find my clothes, down to my gloves, all in their proper places. I was up this morning before daylight," he continued, putting his hand into his pocket for his handkerchief, "and " Here he pulled out, not his handkerchief but his wife's nightcap ' Liberty, Bquali^, Pratenrity, Actress to washer-woman who has brought her bill "How can yon be so impertinent as to dun me in this way V Washerwoman " Impertinent I What do yon mean Who ate yoo, I shcmld li k^i to know t U I ehoose to pay sizpcnoo for a During the Crinic a War, it required much suffering to convince conservative English- men that the routine way of doing things is not always the best. Steamer-loads of -troops were sent from England to Malta, the first rendezvous. The voyage was made in seven or eight days, yet each steamer carried an allowance of eight weeks' supply of hospital stores. The explanation of the fact brought out the castiron routine of the service. In the days of sailing vessels it took eight weeks for a transport to sail from England to Malta, and the old routine could not be departed from. Some of theeeneral officersha^ been t ain- ed for years in the martinet school of discip- line. The Crimean summer is intensely hot and its winter is excessively cold. The army regulations forced t â-  e men to wear the leath- er stock, no matter how blazing the sun, and to shave even when the winter's wind was bitterly cold. Not untU a year of suffering had been en- dured were the men allowed to leave off the terrible stocks, or to seek the protection of a full beard. " Where there is much hair," said one general, "there is dirt, and where there is dirt there will be disease," and he compelled his men to shave when they were freezing. In the midst of the terrible sufferings, when the men were dying from cholera and wanted the necessaries of life, a general issued an order directing cavlary officers to lay in a stock of yellow ochre and pipe clay, for the use of the men in rubbing up their uniforms and accoutrements. When Florence Nightingale began her hospital work she was asked to walk in the routine paths. At the first step she took outside, she was stopped by a network of ' 'red tape. " She cut the "tape" at once and walked where she would. A few weeks before she arrived, a surgeon of a transport ship had asked for the loan of three stoves to save the sick soldiers from dying of the cold. The store- keeper refused to let one go, unless he received a requisition, from head-quarters. As it requii'ed several days to get that document, the surgeon saw that scores of men were doomed. The second day after Miss Nightingale's arrival, six hundred wounded were brought to the Sentari hospitaL On the first day she had been delayed oy "red tape." Taking a few Turks with her, she went to a store-house The guardian would not unlock it. "Break open the door," said the gentle- woman to the Turks. When they obeyed she selected the supplies she needed and or- dered the Turks to carry them to the hos- pitaL Adwaehing contractor returned the hospital linen in such a foul state that it could not be used- Miss Nightingale annull- ed the (jontract hf establishing a washing- house, andrefuBing to seOMl one article to the contractor. The medical antiioritias turned a cold shoul- der upon the gentlewoman. "S le couldn't speak to all the sickknen, yon know," said a soldier in the hospital "we lay there by hundreds. Bat we could kiss her shadow as it fell on our ^ows." "Befne slie came into the hospital," sud another, there was eossin' ana swearin' and after that it was aa quiet as a church.

The highest ambitioli of a CSxineBe gentle- man is to have a itfoe coffin and a fine fnn- eraL They feed their friends somptuoosly when dead, but let them take care of themselves the brat they could while alive. The highest recommendation a man can hare is in the fact of his having a wife. A bachelor is likened to a counterfeited coin he ia looked upon with suspicion even by his own household. Love making is only done three days after marriage. It is not considered the safest way to get ahead of a rival, but the surest way to get a wife without losing much time. A prerioos aoqoaintanceship between the male and femt^e prevents them from mar- riage. For this reason a man seldom weds a giri of his own town. They are likewise nrevented from marrying kins or namesakes. Joneses are not allowed to marry Joneses, nor Smiths to marry Smiths. A girl is never considered anything else in her own father's house than an honored guest. She is neither responsible for the family's debts nor enjoys a share in its fo- tunes, as in the case of sons. Daughters depend upon their husbands for fame and fortune, while sons depend upon the parents and upon themselves. A man could borrow money on the strength of his having a son, but no one would advance him a cent if he had a doz- en of daughters. The former is responsible for the debts of his father for three genera- tions. The latter is only responsible for the debts of her husband. When a Chinaman meets another he shakes and squeezes his own hands covers his head. If great friends had not seen each other for a long time, after the mutual hand-shaking they would rub shoulders until they become tired. .Instead of asking each other's health they would say " Have you eaten your rice, where are you going, what is your business when you get there, how old are you, and how much did you pay for your shoes " Men wear long petticoats and carry fans, while women wear short jackets and carry Canes. Boats are drawn by horses, carriages mov- ed by'-sails. Old men play balls and fly kites, while children fold their arms and look on. Schoolmasters have more power over yoimg than parents. If within three years' schooling the child is not morally as well as intellectually reformed he is sent into anoth- er school. Parents and spectators instead of the chil- dren are held responsible for crimes commit- ted by the latter. "It is much better to be ignorant and know how to live than to be learned and not know how to live. The principal object of a school is to learn how to live in tranquil- lity and happiness and nothing more." So say all Chinese scholars. It is much lesser crime to steal your neigh- bor's ox than to steal his dog. The former is simply personal property, while the latter takes the place of a man â€" watchman. If a Chinaman desires the death of an enemy he goes and hangs himself upon his neighbor's door. It is a sure cure to kill not only that particular enemy, but mem- bers of the entire family will be in jeopar- dy of losing their lives. When a Chinaman desires a visitor to dine with him he does not ask him to do so, but when he does not wish him to stay he puts the question, " Oh, please stay and dine with me " The visitor will then know he is not wanted. A rich man's servant gets no salary, yet many are the applicants while big salaries are paid to the servants of the common peo- ple but few make applications. The perqui- sites of the foimer, often more than tripllig the salaries of the latter, are the sole rea- sons of these differences. When a Chinaman expects a preset t and it does not come he sends one of lesser value. "lo Her Own Connthn.

To encourage honesty and sincerity, con- fidential clerks and salesmen in all branches of industries receive an annual net percent- age of the firm's business besides their re- gular salaries. Wong Chix Fog. Spoiling Children. Coddling, pampering, and gratifying every wish of a child, is more the result of selfish- ness than love. A love that cannot see fu- ture good in present discipline, is both nar- row and stupid. True love can deprive the present, minute of pleasure for future hours of good and pure happiness. " 'I try so hard to make my children happy,' said a mother, one day, with a sigh in despair at her efforts. 'Stop trying,' ex- claimed a practical friend at her elbow ' do as a neighbor of mine does.' 'And how is that ' she asked, dolefully. ' Why, she simply lets her children grow and develop naturally, only directing their growth pro- perly. She has always thrown them as far as practicable upon their own resources taught them to wait upon themselves, no matter how many servants she had, and to construct their own playthings. When she returns home from an absence, they wait but one thing â€" ^their mother's kiss. What- ever is bought for them is bestowed when the needed time comes. Nothing exciting is allowed them at night, and they go to bed and sleep in a wholesome mental state that insures restful slumber. They are taught to love nature and to feel that there is nothing arrayed so finely as the lily of the field, the bees, and the butterflies that there is nothing so mean as a lie, nor anything so miserable as disobedience that it is a dis- grace to be sick, and that good health, good teeth, and good temper comes from plain food, plenty of sleep, and b^ing good.' " Let a child learn early that future good is worth the sacrifice cf a momentary pkasure that will not bring lasting gain. Of all mental gifts, the rarest is intellec- tual patience; andf the last lesson of culture is to believe in diffictdties which are in\'isible ourselves. It is much easier to act finnly and bravely under a strong, impulse than it is to restrain an impulse when odled upon to do so. Of all the battles of life.

The construction I language, including spelling, is a mattej economy in expression, and science evef where economizes. New subjects are cumulating and demanding newwordt^ their best expression, and as so many of te new words are so very long, the pressure the simplest manner of spelling grows e^ appreciable. All letters which are silef speech should be expunged from ' written expreission.
