V ' committed. m” INSANITY FROM TEA DRINKING. The Excessive Use or Badly Prepared Tea a Cause of Mental Failure in lrclnnd. A reporyfipon insanity in Ireland, which has just been issued, enumerates, among the causes of mental failure, the innutri- tious dietary of the poorer population, tending to produce anaemia and CODStlLll' tionsl weakness, which favor. the develop- ment of scrofulous and neurotic disease, and the immoderate use of certain nervous stimulants, particularly tea and tobacco. “ While the moderate use of properly prepared tea,” the report adds, ” is regard- ed as innocuous, or even beneficial in its action on the nervous system, its ill effects whendecocted or over-infused, on persons who make it their staple article of dietary, are dwelt on by almost all the resident medical superintendents in their several reports. Undoubtedly the method of pre- paration adopted, and the excessive use of this article of diet, now so general among our poorer population, tends to the produc- tion of dyspepsia, which in its turn leads to states of mental depression highly favor- able to the production of various forms of neurotic disturbance. The excessive use of tobacco also, especially among the young, whether by smoking or chewing, in the opinion of certain of our medical superin- tendents, acts, though perhaps in a minor degree, injuriously on the nervous centres.” In many parts of Ireland if, has been found that bread and tea. have been substi- tuted for porridge and milk, and for potatoes also ; that the tea used is general- ly of an inferior quality, and the method of preparation is to put a. quantity in the tea. pot early in the morning and to allow it to stew during the day, water being added as lequired.

For a long period lawless Jess has pevailed .n the Wyoming, Pa.,coal fields, and hardly a week has passed since January that a crime of a heinous character has not been \Vithin the last three months crime has been on the increase, and Captain Wbrlen, chief of the detective department, states that 35 mysteri0us and brutal assaults have been committed, besides other atrocious deeds. In every instance the crimes have been traced to Hungarians and Slavonians, who have managed to escape. Entire communi- ties havc been terrorized by members of an oath-bou (:1 organization, whose influence appears to reach from the anthracite coal regions of Northern Pennsylvania to the boundary of Central Pennsylvania and west of the Alleghany Mountains to the coke country The criminal record of the sections of the state enumerated shows that during the last year over 200 murders have been per- petrated and but seven of the murderers apprehended. The same body of organized outlaws committing these crimes has also been guilty of the wholesale destruction of property, and the value alone of the coal- breakers and other mine works destroyed in the anthracite country amounts to nearly $2,000,000. So great has been outlawry within a recent period that the authorities have determined to adopt more resolute measures to apprehend the law-breakers. â€"â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"_â€". SMALL-POX IN MEXICO. Ignorant Natives Look lipon It as n "isita. lion ornlvinc Wrath. “The poor and ignorant class of Mexi- cans have an uncanny religious superstition about small-pox,” said a traveler recently. “ On a recent visit to the interior of Mexrco 1 saw mothers carrying around in their arms babies whose little bodies were almost eaten upbysmall-pox. I wasofcourse shocked at the frightful spectacle, and even offered one deluded mother money if she would take her terribly afflicted child home and call in a physician to attend to it. But she re- fused my profler with scorn, and began to croon some weird incantation as she tender- ly caressed the little half-clad sufferer in her arms. I afterward learned that the ignorant class of Mexicans consider an outbreak of the red post in their miserable hovels a visitation of divine wrath for some sin they have committed. So set are they in this belief that they will do nothing whatever to check the ravages of the dis- ease, except when it attacks their infants, to take the victim in their arms, press them closely to their breast, and pray devoutly and continuously to God to forgive them for their wickedness. Of course the small- pox runs its course after a while, though never before claiming several members of every family as victims; but not until it docs are the afflicted parents purged of their sins." Wounds on Trees. The wound made on a tree, by a horse peeling away the bark, should be immed- iately covered with grafting wax applied when hot with a paint brush, or some simi- lar implement. If the surface of the exposed wood was left rough by the teeth of the horse, scrape it smooth before apply- ing the wax. A few cents’ worth of wax, to be obtained at almost any seed store, will be sufficient, and it may be melted in a tin dish or small iron kettle. After applying the wax you may dust the surface with dry sand soil, or any dry coloring matter to hide the wound and make it. less conspicuous should you desire to do so. The object of applying wax, paint, tar and other similar materials is merely to protect the exposed parts until it is recovered by a new growth of wood and bark, which may require one or a half dozen years, according 'to the size of the original wound. CANADIAN CATTLE ' To Hr llnrkeil Isolated and Slaughtered ui Special Abittoirs.

III addition the lungs of these cattle are notto be touched until cx imiued by the inspectors. The order went into force on May 1.3. How Editors are Treated in China.

THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE WONDERFUL ADVâ€"ANCES MADE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. Mr. John McGovern. of Toronto. llclnlrs on Experience or new llilrrrsl-â€"llll(‘rly Helpless nnrl Suffer-Ni Grcally llcforc Relief Come. From the Toronto Globe. Very little is heard by the general public of the great discoveries in Inedicrne, and the countless scores of lives that are saved by the advancing knowledgcof medicalsciencc. People who a few years ago were left to drag out a miserable existence as hopeless invalids, or helpless cripples, are now, thanks to the advance medicines has made, restored to the fulness of health and strength. Mr. John Mcllovern,who resides at No. ‘2 Alpha avenue, in this city, has good cause to appreciate ire truth of the above statemenis. Mr. McGovern was formerly an agent for agricultural imple- ments, and is welLknown in different parts of Ontario. A Globe reporter who had heard that he had been restored to health, after an illness which threatened to leave him a hopeless cripple, called upon him at his residence, recently, and was given the following interesting account of his case :â€" “ My trouble first began,” said Mr. McGovern, “two years ago when I was liv- ing in the Village of Bolton, in the County of Feel. The trouble was all in my elbo Ns and knees, and the doctors thought it was rheumatism. I couldn‘t walk a block without Wanting tosit doWn, and even to walk downstairs wshsrd work. It alliict- ed me terribly. I was all rightin other I ways but for this terrible weakness. For a. year and a half I sufl'ered from this, but by sheer force of Will held out against it, and managed to get about , but six months ago I broke down completely, and had to give up my business. I then removed to Toronto, and for three months after this I was in terrible shape. I was almost always confined to my bed, being able to come down stairs for a little while perhaps once a day. I suffered all the time from a ter- rible soreness in the joints, and at this juncture my appetite began to fail, and I was only able to eat the lightest food, and not much of that, I could find nothing to help me or give me relief. All this time I was unable to do anything, and, had I not fortunately bad a little money laid by which enabled me to go on, I Would have been dependent upon my family for support. Well, while I was in this terrible shape, my eldest son prevailed upon me to try Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills, and early in last July I began to use them, and I took them steadily during that month and the two following months. Before the first box was finished I began to get relief, and from that out I steadily Improved until I was able to discontinue the use of the Pink Pills, feeling that l was fully restored to health. I am satisfied in my own mind that had it not been for Dr. VVilliam’s Pink Pi.ls I would have still been helpless and suffering, and I have much reason to be thankful that my son persuad' ed me to use them. Thanks to Pink Pills I am now a new man and intend soon to resume my work.” Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills are a perfect blood builder and nerve restorcr, curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus’ dance, nervous headache, nervous prostratiou and the tired feeling therefrom, the after affects of la grippe, diseases de- pending upon hurnors in the blood. such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give a. healthy glow to pale and sallow com- plexions, and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. Bear in mind Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substi- tutes in this form is trying to defraud you and should be avoided. Ask you rdcaler for Dr. l‘v'llliams’ Pink Pills for l’ale People and refuse all imitations and substitutes. Ur. \Villiams’ Pink Pills may from all druggists, or direct by mail from the Dr. Williams‘ Medicine company, Brockville, Ont., or Schenectady. N. Y., at 50 centsa box, or 6 boxes for 52.30. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inexpen- sive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. â€"â€"â€"â€"§-â€"â€"vuâ€" Cheap, Efficient, Prompt.

PHILADELPHIA, May l.â€"A Case that is creating a great flutter among the medical dove-cots is that of Nellie Tailor, whose parents reside on Powieton avenue. Miss ’I‘ailor is a pretty brunette with red cheeks and a smile that would set the heart of the sternest reporter fluttering in two seconds. The facts of the case are sooner told in her own words. “ Three years ago,” she said, “ my father moved from the country into Philadelphia. I determined to seek some employment, not wishing to be a burden on the family. I obtained employment in Wannamaker‘s store and I had not been long there. when the indoorwork began to tell on me. I lost the color in my cheeks and Igrew pale and thin. My food did not agree with me andI had a headache all the time. I finaly grew so ill that I had to quit work. The doctor was called in and he said that [was suffering from chronic dyspepsia and habitual constipation and he gave me very little hope of recovery. He gave me several doses that nearly doubled me up with pain but gave no permanent relief. Finally I was that ill that food would only stay on my stomach for a couple of hours. After eating I would sufl'er from dizziness, and I would see everything double. Then a terrible headache would set in, followed by vomit» ing and pain. I tried a lot of medicines of different kinds but they did me no good. At last a friend advised me to take Schiller’s Sarsaparilla Pills. I followsd his advice, and much to the wonder of my friends I began to recover at once. Ten boxes of Schiller‘s Sarsaparilla Pills have- completely cured me. My mother was completely run down nursing me and Schill- er’s Sarsaparilla Pills have cured her also.” Know your own mind.
