What the child needsis childish com- | panlonship, the fellowship of all innocent young | sreatures, human and otherwise. A child who knows its mother is watching for a cough will often “scrape” till its little throat is sore. He| does not mean it, nor does he know he is acting | @ part; butthe consciousness of being watched, and the unconscious longing for sympathy, are too much for his nervous little system. Put him with other children—the small comrades of | the kindergarten or play-ground will not notice his pecularities (they have too many other engrossing thoughts and occupations); these distressing sizns will soon disappear, cast aside with discarded toys and outworn clothes. Lit- tle girls, beys and dogs are none the worse for being brought up together. Imaginative children need live, flesh and blood playmates, more than allthe dolisand expensive toys, | which are generally idealized personalities and ons of self to childish minds.—Philadel- Bap Am.—When a person has remained for ‘an hour or more in a crowded and poorly venti- Jated room or railroad car, the system is already contaminated to a greater or less extent by breathing air vitiated by exhalations from the tungs, bodies and clothing of the occupants. The immediate effect ot these poisons is to debilitate, to lower vitality, and to impair the | natural power of the system to resist disease. Hence it isthat persons who are attacked by Inflammatory diseases, as pneumonia or rheu- matism, can generally trace the beginning of the disease toa chill felt on coming out of a srowded room into the cold or damp air, wear- ing posers thin shoes and insufficient clothing. If these tacts were generally understood and acted upon, thousands of lives might be saved every year. It isa well-known fact that men who “camp out,” sleeping on the ground at all | seasons of the year, seldom have pneumonia. and that rheumatism, with them, comes, as a rule, only from unwarrantable imprudences. There ‘re two facts that should be learned byevery person capable of appreciating them, and they should never be lost sight of tor a mo- ment. One !s that exhalationsfrum the lungs— j the h—are a deadly poison, containing the products of combustion in the form of carbonic acid and If a person were compelled to rein- hale it unmixed with the oxygen of the air, it would prove as destructive to life as the fumes ofeharcoal. TI is an enemy that is always | Present, in force, in assemblies of people, and | only @ constant and free infusion of fresh air pre- vents it from doing mischiet that would be im- mediately Lt me The other fact is that pure air is the antidote to this poison. The oxyzen of the air is the greatest of all purifiers. lapid streams of water that pass through large cities, receiving the sewage, become pure again through the action of the air after running a few miles. Air is the best of all “blood puri- fiers.” Combined with vigorous exercise to make it effective. it will cure any curable case of consumption.—Hail's Journal of Health. ————_--__ FAMOUS BETTERSs, Reminincencesot 4ish Bookmakers, Ministers aud Members of Parlia-| An lino’ From the London Field. When the history of betting comes to be written by some competent hand it wil appear that from the very earliest times nearly all the prominent members of the ri that variegated | region—have sprung from yery humble origin, and started with very littie capital. As nearly all those who may, in a comparative sénse. be termed the saving members of the fraternity die eaithy, and, as the rest live in whut they con- | sider to be a laxurious fashion, it will appear that bookmaking is a Incrative calling, and backing the reverse. Take oid Michael Brun- true Yorkshireman, for instance, born and who, we are told, lived respected by all. and died rich at the age of 90, after having attended Doncaster races for sixty- one years without intermission, and having carried on his trade till within three years of bis death.

Betting on horse racing Is no doubt as old as clug itself. At any rate, in the time of Il. racing seems to have so far grown from a pleasure to a business as to call for legis- lative interference. In those days, however, it must have been well nigh impossible to have obtained a correct return of the betting, as each bookmaker was a law unto himselt. A certain Mr. Ogden, who had the reputation of having ich a marvelous head for figures as to enable him toa one of the first to see the weak points in the old style. and toreduce bookmaking to ascience. This was about 1780, or perhaps a little earlier. Ogden was another example ofa bookmaker rising from nothing, for in the Morning Post of July 5, 1797, the following question, subse- quently answered in the affirmative, appeared: | ‘ds Mr. Ogden (now called the Newmarket Ora- the same person who, twenty-five years azo, was an annual pedestrian to Ascot, covered with dust, amusing himself with pricking in the belt, hustling in the hat, &c.. among the lowest classof rusties, at the i In i821 Frank Richardson allowed his fancy to outrun his discretion, and plunged he Fortuna forthe Leer of that year, Wh second, he was unable to meet his enzazement.

It is not stated in what proport own uprightness and the pr ure of friends contributed to the result but the fact remains that the first use he made ot his winnings was to redeem his paper. In 1824 Richardson had a great turn of luck by refusins to lay against him. With thefortune— of which the money so won was the foundation —he bought iand, and built a great house near York, called by the owner St. Nichdlas’ Piace, but dubbed by the neighbors Jerry Hall. Betore any years had passed he was again in difficul- ties. and died in 1833 at the Golden Lion, New- market, in straitened circumstances. Newmarket Heath has ever been a favorite resort with Cambridge undergraduates of the period, and in Bob Munton’s day they in- trusted him with all their business, and this juvenile connection gained for him the sou- triquet of “The Baby Jumper.” Bob, they say, had a hack, appropriately enough a son of Flatcateher, who knew a backer as well as his master, and would stop dead when one ap- proached. Just when Munton wasat the height of his success he, unlike the jockey in the edged,” and, giving up the trade of ing, became a dissenting minister. ans exhausts the lst of men There was John Gully, for instance, who in turn butcher's boy, prize fighter, public house landlord, outside betting man, member of Tattersalls, and M. P. for Pontefract. He was taken out of prison (where he was confined for debt Sol. Mellish, to fight Pearce, “the icken.” He was beaten, fought Greg- son twice. and then retired from the prize ring to settle at Newmarket, where he used to keep a “hell,” and where, it is said, he began a sys- tem. of corruption that “placed the secrets of ail Newmarket at his disposal,” a statement that may be a little wide of the mark, though trainers were not then the men they now are. There have doubtiess been several Davises in the ring, but the ouly two whose lives have been recorded were very different men. Davis, the ex-tailor, began by attending a gaming house in Pickering place, after which he took one of his ownin St. James’ street, and finally became a prominent bookmaker. He it was who called out at the Newmarket Subscription Roo “Here, Bentinck, I'll accommodate you”—a piece of impertinence for which he was well snubbed; while on another occasion he anticipated the man who, on booking a small bet to the Marquis of Hastings, when his plunging days were over, emphasized the entry with the remark: “Mind, I expect this to be paid,” by saying toa . “I wonder if I shall ever see your Money it you lose.” The other Davis was the weil known ‘‘Leviathan,” who first had his attention cailed tu the profits of bookmaking while employed as a journeyman carpenter at the Newmarket Subscription Rooms. On his return totown he acted as bookmaker to his fellow workmen at Cubitt’s, and then, after bett in the streets, became amember of Tattersalisand the proprietor of lists innumerable hat were looked after by clerks in various public houses. He did not come into prominence till 1848, when helaid Lord Strafford—to whom the com- mission to back The Cur for thd Cesarew'tcn had been intrusted—£12,000 to £1,000 ina single bet. If Davis was one of the best men to win from, he was one of the worst to lose to, as he would never bet again with any one who had to “ask for time.” Besides the loss of £12,000 over The Cur, Hotspur’s not winning the Derby is said to have made a difference to him of about £50,000, and Barbarian’s failure of nearly twice that sum. Voltigeur’s mabe is reported to have cost him £40,000, while in Teddington’s year he paid Mr. Greville £15.000 in one checke but, in spite of losses, his winnings are supposed to have been large enough to have allowed him to begin the season ot 1852 with £130,000 to his creuit at the London and Westminster bank. It will be remembered that Davis left his money to the mayor and corporation of Brighton. They, after coming to terms with the relations, who disputed the will. lately expended a large sum of what “the Leviathan” lett in the laying out of Preston Park. ee Day by Day.

To use the novel lizht Temove the cork, allow the air to enter the vial and then recork it. This empty space in the vial will become luminous, and the light ob- tained is équal to that of a lamp. When the light becomes dim its power can be increased by taking out the cork and allowing a tresh sup- ply of air to enter the vial. a | Amusing Stories of Gen. Scott. | From Gen. Keyes’ Memoirs, issued by the Scribnera, There can be no doubt that the general was | vain of many things, and especially so of his | person. For that there was good reason, since I was often sickened by hearing persons of ali | degrees remind him of his stature and symme- | try, but he was never offended. He referred to | it himself on all occasions,and sometimes under | strange circumstances, as in the following ex- ample which I heard him relate several times. It was, I think. inthe year 1830—the general was always minutely particalar in naming the exact date of every event he described—when travel- Ing in the northern part of Ohio, he stopped at a country store where they sold tiquor by the | glass. He had on a common traveling'cap and @ plain overcoat that concealed his buttons. The landlord having stepped out, he went behind the counter, apon which the glasses stood, to a | desk, and was busy writing a note, when a farmer came in and called ont, “Give me agiass of rum toddy.” The general straightened up, and turning full upon the man, he exclaimed:— “Did you ever know a man six feet four and a quarter inches tall to sell ram toddy?” He told me that when he received his first commission in the army. which was that of cap- tain, he immediately ordered a new suit of uni- form, sword, sash, cap—everything complete— and had it carried’ Into the largest room in the house, in the diagonal corners of which he placed two looking-glasses. Then he cleared away allthe furniture, let inas much light as pos- sible, put on his new uniform, and stratted back and forth between the mirrors for two | hours. ‘Bat,” said he, “if any man had seen me I should have proceeded at once to put him to death.” One day I was reading to him a newspaper article in praise of Henry Clay. The writer de- scribed the distinguished Ketuckian asa man of commanding presence, with a lofty forehead ‘ and a large, loose mouth. He referred also to several other renowned orators—Burke, Mari- beau and Patrick Henry—whose mouths were of extraordinary size, and he concluded his article withthe remark: ‘All great men have lar; mouths.” * All great men hive large mouths exclaimed the general; “why, my mouth is not above three-fourths the ‘size it should be for my build!" He was excessively fond of com- paring his own qualities of greatness with those of other distinguished men of modern as well as ancient times. He compared himself most frequently with the great military commanders of the world’s history, and three times, on va- rious occasions, did I hear Gen. Scott say while he was yet in his vigor that he thought himself “next to Washington, with many lengths be- tween.” Once he said “with many links per- haps between.” In this he was partially mis- taken, as it was only in conscientiousness and Patriotism that the two men resembled each other. It was reported that an American vessel, the Barcelona, was to be fired upon froma British battery as she passed through the Ningarariver. Having heard the rumor, the general dressed jon the shore which was directly opposite the | English guns. There by chance, he found an old oak that had been blown down. The tree was but slightly inciined, and was lying almost parallel with the stream, and the bright sun en- ‘abled us to see clearly the English soldiers on the opposite shore. AS the vessel approached the general clambered upon the old oak, the trunk of which was six or eight feet in diame- ter and bare of limbs 30 or 40 feet from the upturned roots. He appeared taller than be- fore, and as he strode to and fro on his high wooden walk, his cocked hat looked higher, and his plumes spread wider than ever. Seizing the moment when the prow ofthe Barcelona was directly opposite us, he faced the foe and drew his sword. jerkingit from its scabbard and flinging its point skyward, as he would flaunt the moon. Then bringing his weapon to a carry, he scowled upon Canada! holding his vast height up-stretched to its extremest attitude. Never did night of chivalry, though but fabled, present a shape more heroic. He glistened with burn- ished steel and gold, and was as gorgeous to look upon asa king of Sara. Though he was not fired upon, he frequently referred to this de- flant manifestation, and it seemed to me that it was several hours after he came down from the old tree before his flery scintillations and brist- ling flurry had wholly subsided. . ee ee ‘The Cane and Umbrella Fiends.
