HEALTH. An Aristocracy of Health- Thc tendency of man is to separate, ac- cording to natural affinities, into clans and classes. “'e have had, from time immemor- ial,aristocraciesof militaryglory,of political power, of landed estates, of wealth, of illus- trious ancestry, of empty titles, of “ old families," and of many other distinctive claims. Even the most rural localities are not altogether free from persons who have pretentious aspirations to aristocratic exclu- siveness and privileges. To say that this is all wrong would, be perhaps, to make an at- tack upon human nature in general. We only want to point out not. only a harmless but vastly beneficent channel into which this tendency of our nature may be divert. ed. \Ve wish to propose the establishment of an aristocracy of health. What a grand thing it is to be well-born â€"to come into this world with a sound physique and an un- elouded intellect! What a splendid ambition t is to live so that the integrity of the bod y may remain unimpaired, and the power of mind may increase until advanced age ! Imagine in the distant future the account of a marriage in “one of our most select circles," The perfect symmetry and ex- quisite complexion of the bride and the manly strength and bearing ofthe groom sus~ tain their claims to desent from families that for many generations havcbeeu free from the slightest taint of syphilis, scrofula, tuber- culosis, insanity, nervous debility, rheuma- tism, and all organic weakness or constitu- tional tendencies to disease, but the mem- bers of which always die of old age ; families whose rosy-checked women never wore corsets or tight shoes, never suffered imprudent ex osure at the menstrual epoch, nor indulge in unwholsomc forms of social dissipations ; whose men never weakened their nerves with tobacco, fired their tissues with alcohol, or clogged their systems by gormendizing or indolence; whose husbands and wives did not spend their physical capital faster than it accumulated, but reserved their vital forces to contribute to more perfect health and higher and nobler forms of mental ac- tivity. What a blessed promise such a union gives! Who would not like to marry into such an aristocracy! -.\Vho would not be proud to be a descendant from it! What a power such a race would have among their fellows â€"far beyond that conferred by wealth! And yet such a desirable condition of things is not at all impossible or even difficult of attainment. Simply a. lit- tle intelligent study and daily attention to plain laws of health will accomplish the object. Each husband and wife may be in now, and resolve that henceforth their daily lives shall contribute to this glorious cause. Each young person may prepare to become a partner in establishing an illustrious family in this wonderful new aristocracy. And each victim of incurable disease may at least resolve to spare himself the pain of seeing a group of sickly children around his hearthstone. By joining in this movement you do not stint and deny yourselves, like the miser, to leave an inheritance for your heirs to light over and squander after your death; ou enjoy the full rich benefit of it yourself, and leave them a wealth that no man can take from them. Then all hail and all hasten the glorious new orderâ€"the aristocracy of health, whose escutchcon shall be the erect, athletic form, the mining cheeks and ruby lips, the pearly teeth and gleaming eyes of a happy race of healthy men and women lâ€"[Medical \Vorid. Self-730mm!- An expert and experienced official in an insane asylum said a little time since that these institutions are filled with people who have given up to their feelings, and that no one is quite safe from an insane asylum who allows himself to give up to his feelin s. The importance of this fact is altogether too ' little appreciated, especially by teachers. We are always talking about the negative virtues of discipline, but we rarely speak of the positive virtues. We discipline the schools to keep the children from mischief, to maintain good order, to have thin s quiet, to enable the children to study. We say, and say rightly, that there cannot be a good school without good discipline. lVe do not, however, emphasize as we should the fact that the discipline of the school, when rightly maintained, is as vital to the future good of the child as the lessons he learns. Discipline of the right kind is as good mental training as arithmetic. It is not of the right kind unless it requires intellectual eti‘ert, mental conquests. The experienced official referred to above, was led to make the following remark by seeing a girl give way to the “sulks.” ” That makes insane women,” she remarked, and told the story of a woman in an asylum who used to sulk until she became desperate, and the expert said, “You must stop it. You must con- trol yourself ;" to which the insane woman replied, “ The time to say that was when I was a girl. I never controlled myself when I was well, and now I cannot.” The teacher has a wider res ousibility, a weighticr disciplinary duty, t tan she sus- pcc‘s. The pupils are not. only to be con- trolled, but they must he taught to con- trol themselves, absolutely, honestly, coni- plctcly. i A Simple Remedy When Foreign Bodies“ have been Swallowed. Children not infrequently swallow pins, sometimes pennies, and even [or er objects through the careless habit of he ding such things in their mouths. Careful parents '- child at once to a physician, who also made a careful examination but could find no trace of the swallowed article. The mother was directed to give the boy nothing but pota- toes to eat for two days, but to allow him to eat freely of this vegetable. Four days after the pin was swallowed, it was without difficulty, the head downward, and was found to be imbedded in a thick, pasty mass of undigested potato. The pin was three inches in length, and the diameter of the head was one half inch. In cases in which articles with ragged edges or sharp corners have been swallowed, the same rein- edy has been employed with equally good success. For Sleeplessness- For many years we have been in the habit of recommending, in cases of sleeplessness, the wearing of the moist abdominal bandage, or what the Germans call “ Neptune’s irdlc.” This was one of the favorite reme- ies of Priessnitz, and we have demonstrated its virtues as a sleep-producer in hun- dreds of cases. We quote from the Dietetic Gazette the following translation from a French medical journal, as evidence of the popularity which this simple remedy is winning in higher medical circles :â€" “ Warm baths, as is well known, produce a calming effect, and tend to bring on sleep, and Alldorfer has attempted to apply such a method to patients where a sedative effect is desired, and yet where a bath is inappli- cable. His method consists in wrapping the lumbar region and belly with lined cloths soaked in warm water, and then covering them with oiled silk or rubber cloth, so as to prevent evaporation, whil- the whole is kept in place and loss of heat prevented by s. flannel cloth. This proce- dure is of ready performance, and the author says that by this simple means he has obâ€" tained most astonishing results in the treatment of insomnia. By dilating the large vessels of the intestinal tract by the warmth applied, a condition of anaemia of brain is produced, favoring sleep. These large intestinal vessels have been very pro- perly termed the waste-gates of the circula- tory system.” A Bad Man from the Border Line. “ I was stopping in the only hotel in slit- lity~Texas town,” said the traveler, “ and was in my room, when I heard three shots in quick succession I reached the office just as a man rushed in and exclaimed : “" Bill Smith is shot?’ “ ‘ Dead '2' asked the proprietor. “ ‘ Three holes in him. He’s done, for sure,’ was the reply. _ “ A tall, lanky man. who was standing by thel'desk, brought his fist down on the blur- red and blotted register and said : “"' It’s a good thing. I kin walk down the street now without feelin’ that I may have to draw quick and dodge behind a. tree most any minute.’ “ The proprietor straightened himself up and said : “ ‘ Boys, let’s have somethiu’. though I had more to say ’round this now, and especially in the barroom.’ “ Of course I asked who Bill Smith was, and was informed by three or four at once that he was a bad man from the border line that he could shoot quicker and with truer aim than any man in that section of the State, that he was uarrelsome, brutal, and a. general all roun crime-steeped villian. And in the midst of the description the man who had done the shooting walked in. Everybody tried to shake hands with him and every one invited him to drink. “ Then another man came in and whisper- ed to the proprietor, and the proprietor said something to the man who had done the shooting, and there was a general whispered conference. At its conclusion the man who had done the shooting slipped out a back door and the proprietor came over to me and said : “ ‘ Say, stranger, what I said don’t go ! Understand '3 It don’t go !’ “ Then the lanky man pulled me to one side and said : “ ‘ I was jokin.’ See? But Bill don’t, understand jokes, and you’d better say nothin’ about it.’ “ Another told me I had better get out of town, as there was a general feeling that I had heard too much. “ ‘ But where is the man who shot this Smith ?" I asked. “ ‘ Tryin’ to get over the border lineinto Mexico,’ was the reply. Then he added : ‘ Stranger, you don’t seem to sort 6’ get onto this business. The Doc has just sent out a quiet tip to the boys that Bill will pretty sure get well. Wherefore, all re- I feel as place marks is called off and we starts a. new deal P See “Emâ€"[Chicago Tribune. Hoards of A Silver 'in India. The ancient Oriental passion for hoarding appears from Mr. F. C. Harrison’s elaborate article on the circulation of the rupee in “ The Economic Journal” (Macmillan) to be gradually disappeariu , and is now believed to be mainly confine to the, old wealthy families and princes. The original cause, fear of civil tumult, has passed away, and the presence of an increasing market for in- vestuient, the sweet simplicity of the 4 per cents, or family misfortunes, sooner or later have the effect of emptying the family vault. Notable instances of the dissipation of large hoards have occurred in recent years. The Maharja of Gwalior, a Mahratta chief, lent the Government upward of 30,000,000 rupees, of which all but 3,000,000 were in native coin. The Maliaraja of Burdwan’s accumulation (principally of sicca rupees) has disap cured in litigation and invest- ment ; an recently lar 1e hoards of Arcot rupees from Martinis, ad Chilki rupees from Kashmir, have passed into our mints.

The best method of dealing with cases of this sort was discovered by a Ger- man surgeon, some years ago. A case well illustrating the value of this method was re- cently reported by Dr. Silver, of New York. A three-year-old boy, while lying on his back on a lounge, playing With a large shawl- in, which he was treatin as a cigar, sudden y swallowed the pin. is mother heard choking sounds, and on turning to- ward the boy and asking what he had done with the shawlâ€"pin, be promptly replied, “Me eat it up."

Mr. Harrison estimates the annual quasi-permanent disappearance of Government rupees due to this cases as now less than 5,000,000, and would put it even lower if there were not reason to be- lieve that in Southern India the priestly trustees of temples still accumulate the of- ferings of pilgrims.

LIVED WITH SAVAeEs Seventeen Years in Australia. James lorrlll Being Shipwrecked Took l'p Ills Abode Among Cannibals anal Adopted Their Customs-flow lle u'_ nally Obtained Ills Dellverance. The doings of white men among the abori- a gines of Australia are indeed interesting re- cords, and many of the stories seem stranger than fiction, especially when there exists in the minds of Englishmen an idea that that race of mankind partakes a little of savage cannibals. Among those ersons who have abandoned civilization an lived for a time among the Australian blacks, as that race is generally but wrongly called, the most in- teresting, perhaps, is James Morrill, the wild white man of North Queensland, who spent seventeen years among that people. On the 28th of February, 1845, a bark named the Peruvian, of Dundee. left the port of Sydney, New South Wales, bound for China. She had a crew of twenty~two all told, and was commanded by Captain Pitkelly. There were fourteen sailors, among whom was Morrill, and seven passen- gersâ€"Mr. and Mrs. Wilniot, their child and nursemaid. J. B. Quarry and child, and Mrs. Pitkelly, the captain’s wife. For a full week the vessel experienced tempestuous weather, and was blown along for several days with only the bare masts. Early on the morning of the second Sunday out (March 8) the ves- 4 sel struck on the Horse-shoe reef, one of the dangerous shoals of the great Barrier reef, . which stretches for nearly 1,200 miles along the Queensland coast, southeast of Fort Denison ; and was soon washed up so high l that only the spray from the breakers reach- ed her. The boats were destroyed, one at the time I of the collision with the rocks, and the others when attempts were being made to] leave the vessel in them. The second mate was washed overboard by the first sea that swept the vessel after she struck, and the first mate, who 'was the captain’s brother, was lost while he was endeavoring to make the last remaining boat fit for the sea. From casks, rigging, spurs, etc., a raft was formed, upon which the survxvors, after se- curing a cask of water and some tinned meat and soup, drifted from the wreck. Their! sufferings during the days that followed were fearful. At last, after forty-four days from that on‘ which it drifted from the wreck, the raft was washed ashore on the north-eastern side of Cape Clevelandâ€"the captain and his wife, Mr. \Vilmot, Millar (sail-maker), Gooley and Merrill (seamen), and \Vilsou (apprentice), seven in all, reaching the land alive. Shortly after landing Mr. VVilmot and Gooley died and Miller, finding a native canoe, paddled away in it in the hope of dis' covering food and relief, but he never re- turned, his body being found some time after by the natives. The survivors sheltered themselves in akind of a cave, subsisting on shelfish for a. fortnight, when some members of the aboriginal tribes found them. After a short time the shipwrecked sur- vivors were conducted to huts prepared for them, at the entrance of which several small fires had been lit, and were supplied with such food as the aborigines possessed. The . four unfortunate creatures struggled along? and his unfortunate wife only survwed him three months, dying of a. broken heart. The I remaining two endeavored to find their we. south, but got no further than where the present town of Bowen stands. Twelve months after the death of the captain the young apprentice died gand Merrill was left sole survivor of the party, with only the ab- origines for his companions, : During his residence with this tribe of the Australian race Morrill accompanied them in their marches, fought with them in their tribal wars, went with them on their hunt- ing expeditions into the country, on their fishing excursions to the seashore. He soon i forgot all European habits and forgot almost his mother tongue, becoming, in fact, a. real domesticated aboriginal. 0 During the early part of January, 1853, the tribe with which he lived organized a kangaroo battue in the near vicinity of a. sheep station on the lower Burdekm, and one day Morrillwus detailed with a party of the women to look out for whites. One of the women who had strolled off by her- | self soon told Morrill that she had seen a; white man's but, and when she was direct- ' ing him to the locality they sighted some sheep. Upon Morrill deciding to go on the woman ran back. He then went to a. water- hole, where be washed himself so as to ap- ear as white as possible, and walked on in the direction of the sheep. Soon he came I in sight of a yard, then a but, from which ‘ he heard voices, and at this instant fell con- i fused and alarmed and was almost impelled 5 to run away. Mounting as high as he could ' on the fence, he called out the sailor’s salu- tation he had so often repeated to himself when alone “ What cheei, shipmate ‘2” One hearing this one man looked out of tne but and seeing Morrill, who was wildl looking in appearance, immediately called. out : “ Come out and bring the guns, Wil- . son ; here is a naked man that is ,white or ‘ yellow, but is not black !” Morrill then threw up his arms and called out : “ I am a shipwrecked sailor. You would not shoot a British subject !” Then the men, who were terest in the “ \Yild \Vhite Man.” the customs de tmeiit as one of the crew of the pilot-boat. ; and in 1364 he married a servant of the police magistrate of that place. He died in October, 1865, at Bowen. â€"-[Chambers Journal. ATBOOITI BS NEAR TANGAN YIKA. Hundreds of nelpless Captives larder-ed by Arab Slave Stealer-s. Stories of remarkable atrocities committ- ed recently by slave raiders near Lake Tanganyika, have reached Europe. They would seem almost incredible if their ac- curacy was not vouched for by missionaries on the ground. These statements have been laid before the African Society at Cologne, and have been published by the an aohrities of that society with the state- ment that the stories are perfectly correct. One of the. missionaries writes that on Nov. 19 last 2,000 bound slaves arrived in the neighborhood of Karema, on the south- east. coast of Tanganyika. Karema is now a mission station, though it was founded by King Leopold about twelve years ago, as the extreme eastern post of the Con 0 Free State. The Arab raiders were ed by Makutubu, one of the well-known Arab chiefs east of Tanganyika. The slaves had been brought from 100to 150 miles south and southwest of the biglakc. The sea- coast markets being cut off, the Arab sell ltheir slaves among the native tribes along the shores of the lake. They had our- chased the slaves for a songor captured them without any cost save for ammunition, and as human flesh was so exceedingly cheap they cared nothing about preserving the lives of those who fell by the 'way dur- ing the forced marches or who succumbed on account of meagre rations. On his way to the lake Makutuba decid- ed to get; rid of all who impeded the march. At Lusuko, in order that his caravan might advance with greater haste, lie drowned about 100 old women and little children. Two days later his caravan experienced a. fresh hindrance. Many of the poor slaves had become so enfeebled by the rapid rate of march that they could go no further. Massacres, of which people in civilized coun~ tries can form little conception followed. As fast as a slave succumbed he was knock- ed in the head with a club and left dead. The story of the atrocities went on in ad- vance of the caravan and reached the mis- sionary post. Father Dromaux set out at once in order if possible to have some of the poor people from the fate that threatened them, He succeeded in ransoming sixty- one slaves who would otherwise have been killed. Of course, he paid only a. very small sum apiece for them. Then the care.- van went on, while the priest bought food of the natives for the slaves he had liberat- ed, nursed them back to strength, and took them to the station. He says that from ten to fifty slaves a day were murdered while the caravan was on the road. About 600 were killed during the march north and 2,000 reached the east shore of the lake. Those whom Father Dromaux had ransomed were pitable ob- jects, in spite of the good treatment he had given them. Even those who appeared to be healthyrhad terrible burns on the arms and thighs which they had received as punish- ment for trival or imaginary offences. The mission orphanage was turned into a hospi- y ta]. From Mpala, across the lake from Karema, come more facts about the atrocities com- mitted by slave dealers in the region south- west ofâ€" Tanganyika. They are turning the country into a desert. One dealer, it is said, caught nearly 2,000 slavesup to September last year, and in the course of his raids killed many hundreds of the natives and burned their villages. On the march the slaves are chained together in groups of twenty to twenty-five, and look like living skeletons. Food is very scarce along some parts of the route, and the slaves are forced to dig up and eat roots which even wild animals refuse to touch. When they reach the slave markets to which their cruel mas- ters are taking them, they are placed in huts which afford .no protection against the weather, and, wasted by fever, hunger, and dysentery, they perish by scores. Father Dromaux writes that he has seen hundreds of slaves in roofless huts, while near them their master’s goats have roofs over their heads. Every morning corpses are dragged from the slave huts and thrown to the hyenas. The missionaries have rescued many poor children whom they found among the cap. tives. They were placed in special wards of the mission hospital. “ As soon as I enter,” says FatherJosset, “ They stretch out their thiu little arms toward me and say, ‘ Good Father, we have sufl'ercd so much hunger.’ Fifteen of them have died already in spite of the care bestowed on them.” It is not likely that similar atrocities will be repeated during the coming season. Both Germany and the Congo Free State are de- termined that they shall cease. An armed body of men, with the permission of the German authorities, left Zanzibar recently for no other purpose than to put an end to these frightful raids around Tanganyika. The Congo State is very vigilant in its pur- suit of slave raiders in its territory. and al- though it has by no means extinguished the stockmen, and had regarded him as a sort of . evil it, has done away with most of the raid- 3. bushrsnger, took him into the but and. gave him bread to eat, which at first he could ‘ not swallow. Having almost forgotten the English language it was some time before he could explain himself to the settlers. That night he returned to the aborigines‘ camp; and upon his advice they moved off some miles further from the hut. When he told them that he intended to | return to the whites, the natives at first' understood that he would be away for three or four days only, and begged him to talk to - ing in the large territory it controls. .___â€"â€"â€".....â€"_â€"-â€"â€".
