THE CURE OF DiniTlIERIA.
Dr. K. N. Chapman, of Brooklyn,
N. Y., has discovered an antidote to
the poison of diphtheria, by which the
percentage of deaths i3 reduced to less
than one in fifty. Statistics show that
the percentage of recoveries in cases
treated under the usual practice is
about thirteen, or eighty-seven out of
a hundred sufferers succumb to the
fell disease.
Diphtheria first appeared in this
country in 1853. Dr. Chapman, in
1859, lost several cases, and became
distrustful of the regular methods.
lie has been using alcohol in the cure
of ship-fever, and he determined,
though contrary to all rules, to try it
iu diphtheria. "To his surprise, several
of his patients recovered. lie then
tried q'linht, and found it acted well,
but not so quickly. At last he settled
on a combination of the two, alcohol
and quinia, and, with these remedies,
he claims that diphtheria is more
amendable to treatment than many
other diseases. In an epidemic, such
as diphtheria, all are affected by the
morbid agent; but a few only yield to
it. ' Mature, vigorous persons have vi
tality enough to resist the disease.
Children and weakly adults arc its us.
ual subjects. Dr. Chapman considers
that there is, almost always, supers
added a local anil direct exciting cause,
puch as defective exercise, improper
diet, dark room3, damp houses, imper
fect ventilation and poisonous emana
tions from decomposing filth in privies,
cesspools, scwei pipes, etc. To such
agencies the strongest constitutions
will soon succumb. The blood being
deteriorated, its crasis is impaired and
its vitality lowered; and then 'the
sympathetic nerves, failing to receive
due stimulous, waver in their efforts to
carry on the animal functions.
"All local treatment," he says, "is
worse than useless. It exhausts the
nerve force and induces greater injec
tions of the blood vessels, thus favor
ing the exudation.
"Alcohol neutralizes the diphtheritic
poisons, sets free the nerves ol animal
life, subdues the fever and inflamma
tion, destroys the pabulum that sus
tains the membrane, cuts 6hort the
disease, conquers its scquelre, and
shields other members of the family
irom an attack. Upon the subsidence
of the fever, as is usually the case iu
from twenty to thirty-six hour3, a
purulent secretion begins to loosen the
membrane, and soon, thereafter, to
detach it in flaky, ragged fragments.
This process tuay take place, and Re
covery be possible, even when the
larynx and trachea are implicated.
The membrane is seldom renewed,
when this secretion is maintained by a
steady use of the remedy. Alcohol is
as antagonistic to diphtheria as bella
donna to opium, or quinia to malaria.
Like .any other antidote, it must be
given promptly at the outset, or other
wise its potency will bo lessened, per
haps lost altogether.
"Alcohol does not act as a stimulant
nor induce any of its ordinary effects.
Enough may be given to cause pro
found intoxication in health, and yet
there exists no signs of excitement or
odor in breath.."
Quinia is m efficient alloy to alco
hol. It energizes the ganglionic ner
vous system, and thus enables the or
ganism '-to right itself and resume its
firoction.
Dr. Chapman sustains his position
by citing numerous cases in which this
treatment was successful. He 6tates
that, in his long experience, he only
knew of one raae where a drunkard had
diphtheria. lie generally gives the
alcohol in the form of whisky.
"WnAT Five Sheep Will Do. Five
sheep will enrich an acre of old worn
out mowing land in three years, so
that it will produce one and one half
tons of hay per year, for several years,
by a light sprinkle of seed each year,
sown in the early spring.
Five sheep will produce manure in
winter to the value of ten dollars, by
giving them suitable bedding.
Five sheep will get their living
through the summer on one acre ot
ground ; the pasturing ot same would
be three dollars.
Five sheep will raise five lambs,
worth fifteen dollars.
Five sheep will shear twer.ty-Cve
pounds of wool, worth six dollars.
Now, let us see how the account

You possess, oh, wat-erproof.
Why will you thns my feelings gore

CASTLES IX WALES.
The border barons of Norman blood,
who took possession of this region forcibly
when William the Conqueror became King
of England, weie compelled to bem in the
Welsh people by a chain of tremendous
military castles. The saxons were under a
like necessity in their day, but the fortres
ses they erected to protect themselves from
the Welsh were not very strong. They
were usually of timber, with banks and
palisades for further strength about the do
mestic offices, and a moat arouud all, with
no other wall than the mound thrown np
in digging it Their structures were not
enough for the Norman lords marchers ; in
some cases they used the site of the Saxon
fortress to build their stone castles on, but
the site was all that bad value to them.
Ih order to keep what they had forcibly
seized, they must intrench themselves in
strongholds capable of defying the most
terriiic sieges, and which furthermore
must be large enough to hold their families
and retaiuers, as well as their warriors in
enormous numbers. Hence the prodigious
strength and extent of the border castles,
whose ruins now make the country pictur
esque, and which provoked from Dr. John
eon the remark that the court-yard of a
castle in Wales is capable of containing all
the castles in Scotland. Hence the exten
sive ruins of huge Caerphilly" (described
in a former paper), of Raglan, of Chepstow,
and of many" others which dot the land
scape at intervals so frequent as to tell an
eloquent story. It is difficult to compre
hend, in these days of equality before the
law, the estate of society which existed in
roeuisBval times, when an absolute mon
archy set up here in every little district,
with a baronial castle for a center ; but
one is amazingly helped toward such com
prehensions by roaming about from one
rnin to another, and discovering that it is
actually possible to visit several within the
limits of a single day. It is the statement
of a romantic historical fact to say that the
border bristled with these fendal vultures'
nests ; but it makes the matter practical to
a degree tiiat is positively sensational
like a realistic stage effect to set out on a
tramp over this storied land of the border
barons, and iind that your first five miles
brings you to Caldecot Castle, your second
to Chepstow Castle, your third to Tintern
Abbey (eloquent of the same talo the cas
tles teil, though iu a different way), whence
nine miles carry you to Monmouib, and
seven more to Hagian, and that you have
paused en route, and without pausing to
look at them, the ruins of Peuhow. Pen
coed, Magor, Llanvair, Diuham, Strigull,
St. Briavels, tnd nameless others. In the
small border county of Monmouthshire,
which is not so large as Or.eida county in
New York (a center of the Welsh in Amer
ica), there are no fewer than twenty-five
mined castles, besides many priories aud
abbeys, each with its tale of battles, sieges,
fortunes, during the centuries that stretch
between the Norman Conquest and the
days ef Oliver Cromwell. Of the least of
these ruins many interesting pages may
be written. JIagor and Pencoed stand
within two miles of each other. Any
where else but in Wales each would be a
tourist's lion, which enthusiastic travelers
would journey far to see. Wirt Sikes in

TJie House that Jack Euilt.
A 8 the occupatious and pleasures of child
hood produce a powerful impression on the
memory, it is probable nlmost every reader
who has passed hisjin fan tile days in an Eng
lish nursery recollects the delight with
which he repeated that puerile jinglinp;
legend, "The Ilonse that Jack Huilt."
Very few, however, are at all awaro of the
oiiginal form of its composition, or the
particular subject it was designed to illus
trate. And fewer still would suspect that
it is only an accommodated and altered
translation of an ancient parabolical hymo,
sung by the Jews at the Passover, and com
memorative of the principal events in the
history of that people. Yet such is the
fact. The original is the Chaldee language.
To it is added the interpretation, as given
by P. N. Leberecht, Leipsic, 1731. The
hymn itself id found in Sophe' llaggadah,
vol. 23.
The final stanzas are these :
7. Then came the angel of death, and killed
the butcher.
That slew the ox.
That drank the water.
That quenched the (ire,
That burned the start',
That beat the dog.
That bit the cat.,i
That ate the kill,
That my father bought
For two pieces of money.
A kid, a kid.
10. Then came the Holy One, blessed be He
And killed the angel of death,
That killed the butcher,
That slew the ox,
That drank the water,
That quenched the fire,
That burned the staff,
That beat the dog,
That bit the cat,
That ate the kid
That my father bought.
A kid, a kid.
The following is the interpretation :
1. The kid, which is one of the pnre ani
mals, denotes the Hebrews. The father by
whom it was purchased is Jehovah, who
represent himself as sustaining this relation
to the Hebrew nation. The pieces of money
signify Moses and Aaron, through whose
mediatiou the Hebrews were brought out of
Egypt.
2. The cat denotes the Assyrians, bv whom
the Ten Tribes were carried into captivity.
3. The dog is symbolical of the Babylon
ians. 4. The staff signifies the Persians.
5. The fire indicates the Grecian empire
under Alexander the Great.
6. The water betokens the Roman or the
fourth of the great monarchies to whom the
Jews were subjected.
7. The ox is a symbol of the Saracens, who
subdued Palestine, and brought it under the
caliphate.
8. The butcher that killed the ox denotes
the Crusaders, by whom the Holy Land wa
wrested out of the hands of the Saracens.
9. The angel of death signifies the Turkish
power, by which the land of Palestine was
taken from the Franks, and to whom it is
still subject.
10. The commencement of the tenth stanza
is designed to show that God will take
signal vengea-.ire on the Turks, immediately
after who overthrow the Jews are to be re
Stored to their own land, and live under the
government of their long expected Messiah.

BIRDS OF rBApj;
Mr. Wallace Las remarked tv .
birds of Xew Guinea prepnt "J
portion of brilliantly plumA
than those of any other Par V
world. To this result t'e b
Paradise largely contribute (v c!
family twenty-four species areK 1U
all confined to the IWJ0 ,T.
with a single exception, a Man
which has extended its ranceto v1
Australia, and which is wW t0r
characteristic plumage the '
adiee birds. "Whether for F
or beauty of plumage the lir .W""
adise are without rivals in Vl
world. Most of them have
tufts of feathers issuing not froK
wings, but from each side of tU- w
forming sometimes wavv,silkvt'
of considerable thickness som
fans which spread on each side r f ?
breast, sometimes shields orWtn
behind the wings; central tail fl
are often produced to a great
elongated into wires, twisted into
tastic shapes, or terminated by h-
spangles, all adorned with the 4
brilliant metallic tints. Int'iei-?
family Epimochince instead of t
from the sides of the body the
sory plumes spring from the bead"-
back, or the shoulders; while in
species that stray into North Xn
these peculiarities are absent fJ
is scarcely a hue among the color'?
nature which is not found in the i
less variety of painting of the para.fi
birds ; not only the lustrous m-
of the humming-bird, but veiw
reds, blues and greens of every dc
of intensity. Yet these freaks of col
oration and feathering are ccnSntjto
the males ; the females are all dad a
the most sober browns, and are &
most unattractive of birds. Doubiles,
this provision of nature is intended
a precaution duiing the labors of
nestling season. Strange notions f'
merly prevailed among the vulgar
to the birds of paradise. As until re
cently no Euroiean had lie ew.'..
observe them in life, all our8fcimra
were supplied by natives who altars
cut ofT the lcg;s from thet skins, cs
which account they were reputed tote
without feet, whence the name of the
best known species, Apoda recniisr
and strange as are these creatures xe.
there can be no doubt that theirnearest
allies in nature are a family marked tj
an extreme uniformity and sombrenea
of plumage, and by the absence of art
difference of coloratiou in the sereC
the crow trie, between which and tin
stai tlings the paradise birds are natu
rally placed. Good Words.
