NeORAUsIa AS A “WARNING.”—The great Prevalence of “neuralgla”—or what commonly goes by that name—sbouid be regarded as a Warning indicat've of a low condition of health, which must necessarily render those who are affected with thie painful malady especially susceptible to the invasion of diseases of an ‘ive type. Thisis the season at which it Js particularly desirable to be strong and well furnished with the sort of strength that affords a natural protection against disease. ‘There will presently be need of all the internal heat which the organism can command, and a good store of fat for use as fuel 13 not to be de. Spised. It 14 not less essential that the vital ferees should be vigorous, and the nerve power, especially, In full development. Nev. ralgta indicates a low or depressed state of vi- tality, and nothing so rapidly exhausts the system as pal that a. sisep and ago- vives both body and mind. It ts, therefore, of the first moment that attacks of this affection, incidental to and indieative of a poor ayd weak state, shouid be promptly Pony un treatment, and, as rapidly as may be controlled.

AN IMPROVED GLUE DREssiNG FOR WoeNDs.— ©abinet-makers and wood-workers generally are familiar with the uses of glue in dressing tool cuts and other sight wounds incident to | their eailing. The glue-pot is always handy tn their shops, and a gined rag answers as well as the best adhesive plaster. In a recent paper before the Philadelphia Academy of Surgery Dr. Hewson recommends the addition of acetic acid tothe glue, and alittle attar of roses to eover the odor of the glue andacid. Tails com- pound spread on paper or musiia makes, he said, a good substitute for adhesive plaster for Surgical use. It 13 easily and quickly pre- pared simply by putting Into a vessel of boiling water a bottle containing one part of giue to four, by measure. of the acid; and letting the bottle remain in this Dath unl the glue is fully cers to yastvd under, ‘then, this e the rest of f dissolved and mixed with the acld.

A Frenchm: Criucises Heth Our Oyster Openers and Oystcr Eaters. “Among all the hundreds of persons whoopaa | oysters in this city, there 18 not one who opens | them ‘on the European plan’ ” said an exasper- | ated Frenchman to a Swi reporter. “I have | ved im your country twenty-six years, and during all that time I have seea only one oyster opener who knew his business, That man was | at the famous eld Maison Borée, in 14th strest. | {Here the Frenchman heaved a@ sigh.) Mar- unez, poor felow, had to advertise for weeks before he got him, and I’m not sure but that at last the oyster opener had to be imported. There is @ correct way for doing almost everything, and generally the correct way is the easiest,as in this matter of opentng oysters. The way to open an oyster so as to Save ali the liquor, which, to connoisseurs, is a valuable part, is not to smash it and murder it. 48 most Of your eyster openers do, nor to ‘stab’ it, as they do in Boston, Baltimore, Washing- ton and other places, And then your oyster Openers always lay out the oyster on the flat or convex shell, So that by the time your pi ite of ‘raw on the half shell’ comes to you what ilttie juice that was not spilled in the slaughtering as all run away. The live oyster opens and closes Its shells at will by means of a touga little membrane or ‘hinge,’ about a quarter or a third of an inch io length. This hinge 1s at the smnall or narrow end of the oyster. It fol- Jows that all that is needed to be done to sepa- rate the two shells, whether the oysier is alive or ig to sever this little hinge. It is in- vistble when the shells are closed, but, those who understand the business (and any one can yearn itin five minutes) know exactly where and how to find tt. “Ihave showed this little trick to scores of Oyster openers, but because itis a little difficult al first they go on with their mauling and stab- bing. Now, when Martinez had finally secured this French oyster opener who knew his busi- ness, Lol ote at work at the aide of the man Who opened after the baroarous fashion stiil in Yogue inthiscountry. What was the result? Why, he opened two oysters while the other man Was opening one, and every oyster that he Opened was laid out om the deep shell wituout a drop of the liquor being lost. It is one of the greatest pleasures in the world to eat oysters opened in that way. But you Americans always go in for appearances. And when I ask an oyster opener why he doesn’t give me my oys- sters on the deep shell, even if he must open them in the wrong way, he always says he pre- sents them on the flat or coavex shell because they look better so! “Then there’s another shameful outrage upon us lovers of the oyster. I mean the exorbitant CS we have to pay for them. Now, nothing 8 than a dozen and & half of oysters on the half shell will Ihe. So yousee at twenty cents a plate—half a dozen to the plate—it costs me sixty cents every time I eat oysters. The about ten or twelve cents.

A Glance at Some of the Most Pop- iF Songs the Day. AN, ¥. deraid writer who has been visiting @ penny bellxd shop In that city, gives us some facts In reference to the sale of that species of \terature, from which the following are culled: While waiting for the proprietor to make his sxpeerance the writer picked ap a ballad from aheap near at hand. It was headed “I'm Ung a Biy Boy Now,” and was evidently of Co origin. A precocious youngsier relat! joings: Ismoke my 's best cigars every amy, And once week I drunk; I wink at my nurse when she puts me to bed," And rocks me to sleep in my bunk. ‘The chorus furnishes him an opportunity to remark that he fancies it is time he knew how to brush bis own clothes and to wipe his own nose, for he is getting a big boy now. When the ballad resurrectionist was found he proved to bea bandsome. fair-hatred young fellow, who willingly talked of his enterprise, seemed proud of its success and freely exhibited his odd wares. In looking over them it appeared that very few were entirely original. Many were old ante-war favorites; there was a fair sprinkling of bative genre songs, and a consiberable pro- Portion were of London importation. Strange Get- es nis to say, there was not a ballad of the late war H among them. A giance along the pigeon holes reveals the Odd subjects of the popular muse. The cheap swell is ever a favorite butt for the satire of the | penny ballaciist, and among songs of this clas; | “Lardy Dab!” continues in great favor, and the | effectual in frightening the sa' ttle is used as an exclamation by gamins to ex- press their contempt for any chance pedestrian who seems to their eyes “gotten up regardless of expense.” The boys fairly revel in the de- scriptive chorus: In his hand a penny stick, Iu bis tooth a penny pick, Anda pent ny in his pocket, lardy dah! lardy i This class of songs seem to be laid down by the writers on the same ee lines as Bo very melo-dramas. The swell isalwaysascoundre and 1s meted out condign punishment at the hands of some Bayard in rags. “Poor, bat a ntleman still,” is a good example of this class. e singer describes his fall from affluence to penury, declares that he is then hungry, foot- ‘sore and ill, and modestly relates how he rescued r homeless girl whom a swell was in- He cried out, “You beggar, don’t meddle with me, Or very soon you'll get a pill;” Butl sea aae a hand on that girland you li Jf I’m poor I’m a gentleman still.” Of this class of songs those sung by Harrigan and Hart are the newest and by all odds most im demand, the ‘‘Mulligan” series be'fig printed in unending editions. These, however, are not free to be printed by the Chatham street Cax- ton, as they are carefully copyrighted. In this connection there is a good story on Mr. Harri- gan. He declined to permit the young man in coon to print his song of "Babies on Our lock.” One morning, however, a reporter had an interview with the comedian, in the course of which he secured a copy of the song with the brogue written in Harrigan’s hand. It ap- peared In the columnsot a local paper next day. Here was theChatham street man’s opportunity. Before noon his press had thrown off an edition, the copyright being evaded by a line at the top of the sheet crediting the song to the journal from watch it was clipped. It was a lesson in the law of literature for “Dan Mulligan.” Sin- gularly enough, the most. Populay song outside of New York at present is “Whoa Emma,” of unpleasant memory. “Grandfather's Clock” also, having run its course in the city, 1s oniy how ticking its way through the rural dls- tricts, and thousands of orders for it come in every week. Another odd thing about this popular song. It was brought from England and published her: e two years before it caught the popular ear. It had come be re- arded by the publisher as a failure, when suddenly 1t made a hit, and some idea of its eoree (uct Sopularity, tay be formed from the fact that a single publisher of sheet music disposed of 50,000 coptes in that form. Of the reprints in ballads and song books It would ba difficult to make any estimate. All the ‘motto songs” come from ho Many of these Ineulcate some sensible lesson in a homely way. Thrift, bonesty and charity are enjoined by some of these, and they are allona higher } Whete he level than any other class of the alladk to be found here. One of them, en- Utled “Many Can Help One,” has the following chorus: Then, give what you can to those in distress, Let it be a dime or a penny, For many can help one, I’ve heard people say. Where one cannot always help many. Oddly enough there ts little demand for comic noy ballads, the amateur vovallsts having a lecided leaning to the sentimental.

Calling the chiefs and other natives to- ageing all pretended great regret at his loss, thouch tlre robbery must have been ef- fected with their connivance—he told them that he was determined to have his property back, and that If it was not brought In twenty-four hours he would fire at every native who came within range of his house, which fortunately commanded a great extent of native paths, as well as the narrow strait between the island and the main land. He then made bis preparations for a desperate defence in case he was attacked, loaded some Or- sini shells and mined the paths le: to his house, so that with a long match he could blow them up without exposing himself. At the end of twenty-four hours, nothing having been brought, he commenced operations by ex- piscine Ore dynamite cartri Toar like that of a cannonade, the echoes re- sounding for several seconds. He then let off rockets in the direction of the native houses, and illuminated his own house with fire. All this caused terrible consternation; and the next morning the chiet arrived with five men, bringing a considerable portion of the stolen goods, and trembling with fear to such an ex- tent that some of them could not articulate a word. He insisted, however, that the rest of the goods should be brought back; and the next day, to show that he was in earnest, fred at the chiet himself as he was passing at 2 distance of three hundred yards, being careful not to hurt, but only to frighten him. A canoe was also turned back by a bullet striking a rock close by it. The effect of this was seen next morning in another visit from the chief, with tive coamp ete) sults of clothes, axes, knives, beads and other stolen articles.

They had been seated on a large stone near his house,which he had mined. He now called them away, and having secretly lighted the match, told them to look at the stone. A tremendous explosion soon came, and the stone disappeared, e natives were too frightened to move, and to have pity on them, promising to restore everything. A great hole was seen where the stone had stood. while some of its fragments were found a long way ofl. For twelve days more he kept up a state of siege, turning back all travellers and many canoes by rifle balls in front of them, but never Leys any one. ‘Then another instalment of his goods was brought, leaving little of importance, and uitt- mately he recovered almost everything. During the whole of this time he never hurt a single Person or did any damage to their property, but succeeded in getting back his own by im- | pressing them with his, to them, superhuman power. The result was that after eight months’ residence he parted from these people on the best of terms. They all emb him, and most of them shed tears, while their last words were “Maria rau!

Responn jew of Hotel Keepers. A decision recently rendered in the courts of New York city is of particular interest to per- sons keeping or patronizing hotels and rants, A gentleman having occasion to par- take of a meal, while absent from home, en- tered a restaurant, removed his overcoat aud bung iton a hook, | oe for that. purpose e proprietor of theplace. When the guest had supplied his want and was about to de- part, he discovered that his overcoat had been stolen, and the Lg pong ok ——_ to make the loss good, the wrought suit to recover its value. The defendant dented any responsibility in the matter, frst, beca’ was not engaged in keeping a hotel, and oec- ond, ‘because ‘the guest had not delivered the overcoat to his custody. The court, however, from denying that he kept a hotel, for the rea- sof that in taking out a license to sell Uquors, he had made an affidavit that his place ras a hotel. Under the pecullar laws existing in New York regarding the sale of lMquors, the decision has considerable local importance, for the reason that only hotel keepers are per- | mitted to sell liquors, except in a few special restaurant licensed to sell liquor, is regi as a hotel,and required by law to accommodate all guests applying for tod and beasts, to the full extent of their accommodation of travelers, and to all intents and purposes the establishments are hotels, the proprietors being held strictly to the duties and Habilities of hotel k rs. In this view Of the case and the authority of the decision referre¢ to, enforcing it, every individual en- ed in dispensing liquors is liable te any loss suffered by customers while in his place of business, except when it is occasioned by an act of Providence. To modify this Hability the proprietor must put himself ‘within the law re- lating to the obligations of hotel keepers, as provided by statutes, York city do not exist everywhere, but the principle that a hotel is responsible for the absolute security of his guests’ property 15 universally recognized. It 1s embodied tn the Common Law, and has been generally followed closely in all recent statutes.
