Salt, Mustard a Seda for Ordinary Ailments, The following remedies for many simple all- ments we find recommended in Hal's Journal of Health. And while the remedies may not be new to many of cur readers, they will be found use- ful to all. We row publish them that they may be at hand for ready reference. Haifa teaspoonful of common table salt dis- solved ina little cold water and drank will in- stantly relieve “heartburn” ordyspepia. If taken every morning before breakfast, increasing the quantity gradualiy to a teaspoonful of salt, and a tambier of water, it will in afew dayscure any ordinary case of dyspepsia, if at the same time due attention is paid tothe diet. There is no | better remedy than the above for constipation. | As a garcle for sore throat it is equalto chlorate of potash and is entirely safe.

In doses ot | one to four teaspoontuls in half a pint to a pint of tepid water it acts promptly as an emetic, | and. in cases of poisoning: is always on hand. It is an excellent remedy tor bites and stings of insects. It isa valuable astringent in hemor- thages. particularly for bleeding after the e tracting of teeth. It has both cleansing and healing properties, and is therefore a most ex- cellent application for superticial ulcerations. | Mustard is another valuable remedy. No fam. |My should be without It.

An Apothecary Compiains of a Custom of Certain Doctors. ‘From the New York Sun, ) Look here,” said an‘up-town druggist, dis- playing a physician's receipt, “what do you make of it?” The receipt read: *-Tgnn Ieniz Xo zi. Sig. ext. nae. “You would not imagine that read, ‘Ox Zincl Ungt. for external use.’ would you? Then the dotted line 1s a hieroglyphic for a well-known physiclan’s name.” “What is the object of mixing the thing up ?” asked the reporter. “This druggist,” answered the apothecary, “has a big Tun ‘of these prescriptions. Read ‘Tynu Teniz Xo’ backward and you have the ab- breviated Latin formula tor Oxide of Zine. A green druggist would puzzle over it_and say: ‘Take that prescription to the druggist whose name is printed there. I can't fill it. If he un- | derstood the trick he would not fill the prescrip- tion, because the physician’sname is not legible, and, inthe event of any accident happening. he could not throw the responsibility upon the doctor. The trick is done to secure the trade for the druggist and a commission for the physician. Another trick in the trade is to write in super- fluously the name of a rare or unused drug that few druggists keep, or to write in one of a few | Words without meaning, that the druggist and doctor understand are to be disregarded. a disreputable practice, and might lead to fatal mistakes.” It is Busch’s New Bismarck Hook. a pint of water acts as an emetic very promptly, | From the Loudon Times, | and is milder and easter to take than salt and | | water.

The same treatment will relieve almost any case of headache. A mustard plaster should be moved about over the spot to be acted upon, for if left in one place it is liable to blister. A mustard plaster acts as well when at considerable dis- tance from the affected part. An extel- lent substitute for mustard plasters is what is | known as “mustard leaves.” They come a dozen in a box, and are about four by five inches, They are perfectly dry, and will keep for a long time. | For use it is only necessary to dip one ina dish of water for a ininute and then apply it.

Now, put your own eye close behind the tamp-flame, with f& card between it and the flame. Ifyou will then look close by the edge of the flame coy- ered by the card into the eye of the child, you will see, instead of a perfectly black pupil, a reddish-yellow circle. If the eye happens to be hypermetropic, you will be able to see the red retlex when your own eye is at some distance to one side of the flame. This is the true éxplanation of the luminous ppearance of the eyes ofsome animals when ay are in comparative obscurity. It is simply the light rejlected from the bottom of their eyes, which 1s generally of a reddish tinge on’ ac- count of the red blood in the vascular layer of the choroid back of the semitransparent retina, and not light thatis generated there at all, ‘This reflection is most apparent when the ani- mal is in obscurity, but the observer must be in the light, and somewhat In the relative position indicated in the above-described experiment— that is, the eye of the observer must be on the sameline withthe Hght and the observed eye.

Encouraged by the success of his first book on Prince Bismarck, which was published six years ago, Dr. Moritz Busch has now issued a work of higher pretensions. His diary of the Franco- | German war gave an anecdotal account of his hero; the present book was undertaken as an analytical study of character in the German manner, the author setting up an ideal manand illustrating his idiosynerasy by facts carefully selected to square with the ideal. Prince Bis- marck once criticised Dr. Busch’s style as too massive. The secretary answered that he could wield playful irony on occasions, and was re- quested to try. He tried. and was told that he had managed the irony without the playfulness, This was In the days when he wrote foreign office dispatcher, and his style has not improved since. But Dr. Busch’s ponderous verbiage and far-fetched antitheses do not detract from the yalue of the information which he has to give. It has often been said that Prince Bismarck was not desirous of annexing any part of Lorraine, but only Alsace, where the pecple might be called German. This isa mistake. ‘To annex Alsace only 1s a professor's idea.” said the Prince, and one of his fayorite schemes was to create on the flank of France. by the annexation. of parts of Burgundy and Champagne, a Ger- man state which should be populated by Ger- man emigrants and form a standing bulwark against France. In connection with these views,embodying no strong neighborly love, we may quote what Dr. Busch has to say about Prince Bismarck in his “Relations to Divine Things:” ‘In contrast with Goeth, the Chancellor has seldom uttered any confessions of religious faith at variance with other utterances of his on the same sub- Ject, and never any thoughts on divine things directly opposed to formerly pronounced views. Nevertheless he passed through a rationalistic pened tien an unbelieving time, a time at least in which religion was no felt want—then a period in which, as he decidedly affirmed, he took up a Christian and confessional standpoint. Lastly, he has arrived at a time in which he may simply be detined as a deeply religious man who belleves firmly in God, In a divine dis- pensation, and Ina personal continuance after death, who derives his sense of duty from his faith, but lays little stress on dogma, will hear nothing of intolerance. and has no strong desire for priestly edification. His mother wasa sens ble, enlightened woman; his father a genial man, without any propensities toward the supernatural: no religious influences were brought to bear upon him either at school cr at the university. For all this a time came when he was filled with disgust for theriotous days of his student life.” Dr. Busch affirms that Prince Bismarck witl leave id him no kindred-minded successor. s founded no school in the German foreign The present German diplomatists may n part,” as he cautiously says, be men of very respectable talents, but’ all’ stand tar below their chief, “while the liberals who hope to suc- ceed to the chancellor's inheritance have still fewer men of capacity and no routine whatever.” If it be Prince Bismarck’s rule to repress all signs of individual talent among servants of the foreign office, this dearth of talent Is, perliaps, easily to be accounted for, but Dr. Busch forgets to note this. Treating of the chancellor as an “orator” and “humorist,” he draws no distinc- tion between eloquence and mere vigorous speaking. Prince Bismarck can hardly be called fu The beginnings of his speeches are al- ways labored, and he is apt to speak slowly, as if picking his way from argument to argument, unless excited by violent provocation. When he is angry his words gush out in boiling torrents, and he works his arms into gestures of unimagi able energy. The late Herr Lasker was particu- larly successful in goading him into these pas- sions, and so at one time was Dr. Rudolf Gneist, id: “1 tell you Iam no ora: I cannot play with words 80 as to work on lings and thereby darken facts. lama inan of plain speech.” As a humorist, Prince Bismarck is known to shine In private conversation, when he gives free rein to his love of Rabelaisian drolleries, but the examples which Dr. Busch offers of his pub- Nely uttered witticisms are not at all very hap- pily culled. Once, when resenting certain e: propriations of private land which had been advocated on the ground of public good, he sai 40 you think to compensate me by con- verting iy father’s park into a pond for carp, or the grave of my deceased aunt into an e pond?” This ts poor, but the chancellor was better inspired when he gave this little deserip- tlon of his Interview with Napoleon IIT. after | Sedan: “When, in the weaver's house at Don- cher: early an hour opposite the Em- peror Napoleon, I felt for all the world like a young man at a ball who has engaged a young lady for a cotilion but cannot find a word to say to her, and wishes some one would come and take her away.” There Is something pathetically amusing, too, in the chancellor's own account of himself about. 10y ayo to Dr. Busch: “It is no longer with me as it used to be in point of health—I ama nere drum, only skin and sound.” A year or two after this there were rumors, which have been renewed pretty otten, of the prince's resig- nation. He was Irritatea against the German iament, and disheartened at meeting with no response from his own professed supporters in respect of his plans tor economic and social reforms. He rallied, however, and explained his return to business in these terms: “It is with me as with a wearied huntsman, who, ex- hausted by a day's fruitless sport, is about to sink on the ground and give up the chase. “Just then his fellow huntsman points out to hima pair of splendid swine, aud straightway these With renewed spirits he returns to his pastime, and that is what Iam now doing. Fatigued by business which would not advance, and peevish at the conduct of refractory colleagues, I was fain to drop peli- tics. But when from the side of departmental ministers good proposals were brought to me, I was then disposed to set to work relnvigor- ated.” In his concluding chapter Dr. Busch enumer- ates the portraits that have been taken of Prince Bismark at different periods of his life. One painted in 1837, when he was 22 yearsold, by his cousin, Helen of Kessel, shows him with a luxu- riant growth of hair, “very different from the three hairs with which the humorous prints of Berlin are accustomed to represent him now.” Having mentioned other likenesses, Dr. Busch commends his own written portrait of the great chancellor to the reader by the remark that he has limned every feature of it with a conscien- tious touch. We believe he has, and that his portrait 1s neither more nor less true to life on that account than pictures merely conscientious generally are. The artist sees with one pair of eyes, the public with others, through some flaw in vision the sitter appears to the ind if artist larger than life his Itkeness will offer |- sea for criticism such :as we might make on r. Busch’s book. We forbear, but add only a note of interrogation as to why Dr. Busch closes his volumes with a doggerel couplet which he entitles: ‘Moral of the book,” and with a little vignette which represents a cherub standing on_ his head, while two other unclad infants clap their hands in glee at this perform- ance. The doggerel runs: “In the Who won't fe 1 let all be banned ir master understand.” GPATEFUL—COMFORTING. EPPS’ COCOA.
