SWALLOWING COIN.— If a child swal lows a coin need danger be feared, and should physic be given? Answer: Generally when a coin ia swallowed there is little or no danger. If it happens to be baroazethen there may be chemical chary?*" that will cause copper poisoning; otherwise, do not worry, for what will pans into the stomach will pass through. Avoid physic, it empties the bowels when ihey should he kept full by coarse food—as coarse bread, or something to distend and enlarge the digestive tube. SUNFLOWERS FOR FEVERS.— Favorable mention continues to be made of the virtues of sunflowers as preventatives of bilions fever, chills, fever, etc. A oor ri-spcj lent writing from a place in Alabama which, lie says, was peculiarly subject to fevers, gives the result of his experienfee on the premises, and in not a single instance where he planted sun flowers around his negro cabins did their inmates suffer from fevers, while his wife, two children and two house servants all Lad fevers, he not having planted any of the sunflowers around his dwelling, which, m his opinion, accounted for the difference in the results. . EARACHE IN CHILDREN. —When a child's ear becomes painful, as it so often does, everything should be done to soothe it and all strong irritating appli cations sbonld be avoided. Pieces of hot union or fig should not be put in; bnt warm flannels should be applied, with poppy fomentation, if the pom does not subside.! How much children suffer from their ears— unpitied because un known—k would probably wring the hearts of those who love them suddenly to discover. It is often very hard, even for medical men, to ascertain that the cause of young child's distress is seated in the ear., and frequently a sudden dis charge Items it, with a cessation of pain, first retv&h the secret of a mysterious attack, which has really been an inflam mation, of the drum. The watchfulness of a paregt, however, would probably suffice to detect the cause of suffering, -M *' ; if directed to this {mint as well as to others. If children cry habitually when their ears are washed, that should not ' be neglected; there is, most likely, some cause of pain. Many membranes are destroyed from the discharges which take place during " teething. " When ever there is a discharge of matter from the ear, it * ->uk! be right to pour in warm water uightakd morning, and so at cast to try and xaep it oloau. T Ileal ray Carrani VVtrm.

A narrow escape from diatributiug poisim wi - that when the cargo of one iif the Anchor hue of stimmera was de- Uvemt at New York. In tl lowi-wh-Jd of the veasi-l was a lapg*> auioinit of salt. B twh-u decks and over the salt w< re one hand rod barrel-o£ ie< uic. J hiring I the voyage acroaa th,- on-an tha carg.i between decks shift-si and tlie arsenic Ivam-ls were broken, the deadly |>oiaou sifting down and mixing with tlie salt. The vcßst-1 arrived at New York and the cargo was ilnw-liargisl. M-wt of tlie salt IUKI been sent to various parties about tlie city, wbeu tlie captain of the vessel discovered a white {mwder maome of the laflt. He uommumcated his snspi cion tii the consignees of the vessel. They immediately, feartug a ilisasU-r, put themselves in comtuuuicaticu woh the consignees of the salt, of whom there were a number, and these gentlemen proc.-\leil to the ahiji and examiu-nl the condition of affairs. They came to the oouclutuon that the suspicion of tlie cap tain regarding the contamination of the arsenic might possibly be true, as it he roine evident to them that the white powder was not salt. I tinder these wrowiUHtanee* it was de - aided to roll in the serv ice of a chemist , who would report on the matter. In the meantime telegrams were sent by these gentlemen to all the persons to whom the rolt hail been stmt not to use it under any circumstance* until further informa tion was obtained. in each case those telegrams were received before Uie salt, and what might have been a serious ro- Ikmitv avertiil. Prof-*sor l><emus was then called upon and asked to make aui examination. He found in the speci mens what ha considered arsenic, scat trrod through cspmally that {xirtion of the salt wluch had been uear tha out side. It existed in quantitie* sufficient to make it iteogcrous for eilible pur p-wpH. Wheslmr it would rouse death or not ia uurotiou he would not answer. Bui it might have done so. A Fearful Situation. The bark Memlota, from Java, had a frightful experience. Au oilier says ; We left Bator ia. on the Island of Javu, un the -23 dof last December. When we started, C'apt. Terry and one seaman were sick with Java fevar—a sort of bilious fever, with chills. On the ?th of January, the second mat-*, John Wolfe, and tlve steward were taken down witli the same discast*; on the 12th anotlier seaman waa prostroteil. They all were very sick for weeks. Hero ill the entry for January ±ld I have written : Cap tain not expected to recover. On the 30th of January I was attacked with the fever, making the fifth man nick ont of oar little crew of ten. I had been the . only one able to uavigate the vessel, and after my attack I had to oontinnr- mv work. The fever used a man up mighty quick. The captain and second mate were unable to move; jwfeet skeletons. I used to crawl ont of the cabin uu my hands and knees to get tin* sun, ami then crawl to the ship's chronometer to get the time, and ihra I worked ont our position. You eould smell the fever on apy part of the ship. On the 13th of I ebrqary the second mate died, and we bnrieil him in tlie sea that afternoon ; it I WHS too hot to keep the body. I had de cided to make for St. Helena for medical aid, though it wonld take as throe hun dred miles out of ourcourse. We reached there on the lUth of February, and noon Dr. Fowler, the hospital surgeon, was on board. He knows all about Java fever, for nearly every vessel from the island touches at St. Helena with sick men. He helped us all, and on the 27th iwe stated for New York. We had a rough paeroge, eroding the eqnater on the 'l'id of March. We were within five hundred miles of New York for sixteen . days, baffled by west winds and big seas that swept over the decks.* I're seen some hard vovagea, but this last was the toughest. It's bail enough to go to sea, but to be sick throughout a voyage with Java fever, which will shake tlie life out of you, is too much. I w l l L J The Indian Famine. The dfonght and consequent famine which visited India last year was the re ; suit of the diversion from its usual course of tha southwest monsoon. This wind, upon which Bengal is dependent for it* | rainfall, or rather the wind* which corn pone it, blow from the Arabian sea and from the bay of Bengal toward a line lying to the south of the Ganges, in whiiio region a depression of the barome ter appears in Apnl and becomes well es tablished in Jane, when thr rains set in. In 1878 this line, or " trough," of low ba rometer did not cover its usual area, bat J moved considerably to the northwest, giving Bengal an unusual prevalence of J western winds, and a consequent de crease in the rainfall. The effect was heightened by the fact that a considera II ble portion of th - monsoon enrruut from the bay of frugal was deflected toward the sonth'-ast, as is proved by the ex istence of an area of low barometer in that quarter. Tims the monsoon was partially drained off toward the southeast i liefore reaching the interior, and then was turned away from its usual course. The causes of this alteration are not known, nor can they be dieouvt-n d until the area of meteorologioal oWrvatioii in | India is extended. Bach an extension is imperatively demanded by the iiooessi ties of the country. At present the fre . quent occurrence of js-rslsteiit local variations of pressure, which, though local, affect the annnal variation of the , monsoon, is known, but there is no , means of making such a study of the , phenomena as will permit the anticipa tion ami prediction some months in ad vance of the character which the rainy ! season will liear. India greatly needs this service, and besides its benefit to ! material interests tlie realization of such : an effort would be a great triumph fur I science. i i The Poor Child. The other day, when sitting at our window, the painful crying of a young child in the street attrai-ted our atten -1 tion. We looked ont, and this sight met ' our eyes: a nurse pushing a bubv-car riage "with the top thrown down; in the carriage, lying on its back, was an infant apparently not more than Ave months old, with its tear-stained face wholly i exposed to the glittering sun, its little i hands working with convulsive move > ments, and its agonizing cries incessant. . It was s pitiful sight, that helpless little f child. The nurse seemed entirely nn ; moved. Either she was so utterly ignor , i ant that she had no idea of the suffering i of the babe, or she passively contented r herself with the feeling that her sole - duty was to push the carriage, for that i she did with a persistent calmness and in r difference that looked like absolute cru i elty. Mothers need to give personal at j tention to the comfort of little ones who [ are sent out to get fresh air under the - charge of ignorant or careless nurses. , Minute instructions should be given, and i special pains taken to see that they ore - observed. Some mothers would be i shocked to know what their little chil r dren endure from careless, not to say ,' cruel, nurses. THF AMERICAN RIFLE TEAK. I SilIM, UlMmlrfir, n<ll*r. lUklHi I ulr. Hepburn.

"Hie |>rai*tiiv and matches whieh ronn off last year and this have resolved some interesting point* in rirte shooting. It - is now conceded that the (im-k )M<sitioii is the best whieh has been thus far hit upon, and that a man of reasonably firm uerv< may with diligent practice, IK come a pr>-ity gixxl long range aliot. It ia also believed that to lie a good slkot from the front position it requires better nerves and -Uvulier hami* than that ou the back. The Di-h U-aiu brought over a couplej.f idea* that s-*m to take with our Croeduioor men. One of them- is the •* ealdK-r sight " aud the other the " butt sight." Iu tin- former tlie {Hiiut of vision is formed by looking through the apace inclosed Iwtwreeu two opiHmtte semicircle*, hrld in the center of the thimble sight by {>aralU 1 l*ra flx.il in siiie of it. Tlie butt sight ia mini* by taking the tangent scale from the small butt aud fixing it near the heel. In the back or wide positions this admits of placing the butt of tlie piece against the shoulder without straining tin neek to look through the peep sight. There is another advantage to be derived from placing the tangent scale near the heel of tlie butt, which is that in pro|>ortiuii 1 to the greater length of the base line formed between the front and rear sights, so will be the cxactneKS of the hue of sight leading from the eve to th? , target. That is to say, it is easier to lay down a given straight line from a long than a short Imse. In the matter of cartridge* this prac tioe line brought forth but little that i new or has not been tried Iwforo. The driving charge of ninety grain* of pow der seems to tie heavy enough for any distance y.-l tried at Creedmoor. Bonn of the marksmen use (for they cannot born) np to one hundred and five graius, emuwotuly thinking that tin* heavier the charge the lower the trajectory. This is not the case, for the curvature of tin* trajectory dejx-ud*, not U{N>U the weight of the charge, but upou the form of tue projectile, the unmlier aud depth of the grooves in the rifling, and angle , of twist to the axis of the tmro. iSfc season the old larrels art* ilia ap{staring, whil.* thorn* tluit are circular t in form from about a fK>t above the cliambcr of tlie piece are taking their place. Tlie change seems to U* sat is factory, though it must be admitted that an entirely octagonal laurel has much to recommend it. It is easier to level than a ronn-l -me, and bung of tlie same dtameter at both ends, the line of sight ia parallel to the axis of the boro, and the iiosidble error on account of liav ing to allow for dispart is thus lessened. The changes in the targets is another ia- i novation (anil a dewiralfle ooe) introiluc ed this season. The internatioual match is to be shot at tlie (flit model target, having a square bull's eye, a square cen j ter and outer natv. Yesterday a nnm her of second clas* targets (five hundred yards) were painted according to exist ing regulations at Wimbeldon, her'afu*r to be useil at CrmMtor. The diameter of the bull's eye remain* the same, but being a circle instead of square, the four triangle*—one at each corner—that are thus cut off, leave it <i>naiilcrably re duced in size. To make amends for this, ! a bull's eye on the new target count* five point*. In other respects the chances of making inner* or outera n the new target are about on a par with the old one, A College War. New Jersey has experienced one of those peculiar thing* known as a college war. Princeton and New Brunswick j dispute the right to have and hold two ancient guns. These old piece* of ar- j tillerv were used in the Revolution, and were left at Princeton, or that vicinity, ; the British abandoned their |Hii tion at that place. The larger of the ■ two was taken to Now Brunswick during the war of 1812, when an attack upon the town was cxpodod; the smaller re mained at Princeton. After some frienil ■ ly debate lietween the two towns, it i* Haiil that a military company marched down to New Brunswick, aliout forty years ago, took poaseosion of the cannon tu dispute, brought it l<ack to Priuce ton, and, on snbuequent patriotic anni versaries, used it to wake the New Jer sey echoea. After passing through vr rioas adventures, lx<th cannon were jilnnted upright in frdut of Ihnnc ton College, where the stndents were wont to gather and rehearse the exploits of their revolutionary forefathers, very much a* young Vikings might recite the rugged rhymes of Northland skalds. But New Brunswick cherished a feeling of bereavement—or, if the citizens did not, the students of Rutgers College did. The cannon had been in New Brunswick Izng enough, it was said, to have become the property of that town; : , and the boys of Rutgers were certain that their college had a peculiar lien upon it. Unhappily, the two colleges arc so near cacti other that rivalry and jealousy are easily aroused, and so n bit ter feeling about the guns grew np be- j t ween tho scholars of Princeton and j j Rutgers. In the dead waste and middle of the night, a select detachment of Rutgers students made a raid upon the grounds of Princeton College, and dug up and carried off in triumph a gun. There j seems to have tieen some confusion as to the exact piece of mnrti.il property I claimed and seized by the Rutgers raid ers. M bother the night was too dark to distinguish, or the big gun was too heavy to manage, does not ap|>eftr. Rnt gers lias a gun an 1 declares it will keep ( it, and th" excitement over the affair is ( not confined to the two cities in which the colleges are, but extends over the ' , whole country. New York and Phila- i delphia papers have been full of the affair, and it ia seldom that a local diffi culty lias attracted so mnrh nttoution. An Fngine LOOM*. Great commotion was caused at Stam ford, in England, at the close of the mar ket the other day. Two powerful trac tion engines employed in cultivating t were paraded during tho day, and were i then safely piloted to one of the owners ' down a steep street into High street, s Here one was halted, and was to remain until the owner returned to conduet it. After waiting sorr.o time the man in charge put on steam. The engine rush ed down the street at ft rapid pace, and a terrible crash seemed inevitable. From some cause or other the speed did not slacken, but tho lad at the wheel did his best to steer the monster round a corner into a narrow street with a deep descent The engine all but dashed into a jew eler's shop. Luckily, one of the wheels struck the door step, and so broke the ) gearing, or the ponderous engine must i have gone into a cellar kitchen or have . steamed it* way through the house. As 1 it was, the wreck wns terrific. Every ? part of therfront —the finest in tho town 3 —was shivered to splinters. Mr. Ryan, - the proprietor, who was in the shop at 7 j the time, fortunately escaped with a few slight contusions about the head. The Fight with Indian*.

Tliis story, which probably is not trite in every resjwet, is told as follows; To paint < 'uirasKters, said MeMannier, I must needs see tliem. lie accordingly t<x>k a dozen of tliia corps to his country jjiouae, where they were requinxl to , el large down the park every morning, | lint the evolution did not last long, and before the artist had sketched an outline | of the group the gallant fellows were out of sight. "You in tint follow them by train," said a friend. No a*Miner mid than done. An engineer was summoned, j rails were laid down, roiling Ktock pur chased, and for several weeka Meisao nicr accompanied the charge of his ; models by train. But it was summer, and historical accuracy required that the Cuirassiers should dash over snowy ground. Thousands of bushels of flour were then laid down in the park, and the Cuirassiers, as they cliarged, liecnme en veloped in clouds of farina. The illusion was complete, the studies admirable, and the finished picture sold for millions. PREPARING WALLS.—Before putting fresh jiaper on walls the old pnper should bo carefully removed by wetting it with snlerattis wnter, when it will fall off easily. The walls should be bruslmc over with a weak solution of cnrliolid acid, which will drive awav insects nnd sweeten tho walls. The Chinese often remove plaster from old houses ami ro plaoe it with new, and are paid for their raoable in the value of the old plaster for fertilizing purposes. This shows how the breaths and various exhalations of the body are absorbed by lime, and gives a hint a* to the necessity of neu tralizing, as far as possible, these ab sorbed odors.

The Hr-illy islands, the scene of the terrible disaster to the t teruian steamer Bchiiler, with it* seriuu* h—of life, form a group about thirty miles west south west of ljantl's F.ud, CortiwttH, England. They coumst of atiout forty islet* and rocks.

The wrecks on these " dogs " of Hoilly, a* they have lax-n well called, have been at all times numerous and heartrending. Tlie I<ms of the steamer Tluunes on her jmssnge from Dublin to London, when only four out of sixty-five were saved, and of the I)nro, with all hands, have been the most conspicuous of lab' years; but it is well known that in 1707 &ir Clondes ley's Slninel's srpiadron returiiing from Toulon, with several distinguished jwr sonages oti board, went to pieces hereon the " Oilstone " rock with a loss of two thousand lives, including the admiral. There were miraculous escape# in that catastrophe. Sir Oeorgo Byng, iu the Royal Anne, was so near the "Trene nter" rock that he had it under his main chains, and as the ship passed it kiuM-k --ed off the larlMMird quarter galley. The St. George, commambsl by Lord Dura ley, eocnpctl as narrowly, filie struck on the same roek witli tlie flagship; but the very wave which lie at out the lights of the latter lifted the St. George from the nniks and set her alloat again. Dangerous, however, h the outside world as these shores have ever Ireou, Providence has made them singularly livable for their own ■mall population. Not only are several of tho islands ac cessible to .■ v-h other nt low wntor, and, from the mutual protection they afford, capable of supplying many safe anchor ages, but, from the frequent encroach ment* of the sea, many isthmuses have been formed, of which one side or tho other is always in smooth water. This is cs]rectallv the ease with Bt. Mary's, where the S'etv Town extends literally from " tho ono sea to tho other," ami has, consequently, a double beacon and n twofold srxuto of maritime operations. Hugh Town -a few schoollvoys know it is the capital of Hoilly—is a very tidy little place, having a population of I.fit HI, with one principal street, lying north and south, n good roadstead, a modern Gothic church, two very tolerable inns, an ugly dwarf windmill, perched on the hill immediately above the ehnrch, and spoiling both it and tho general view ot tne town ; a fine Elizabethan fortress, which, though nngarrisoned now, would make quarters that any regiment might covet; aome excellent photographic shops and a few smart private residences. Near Chamberaburg, Pa., a party came across a den of seventeen snske*, which they killed. Among them were ten black snakes, one of which measured five feet and two inches in length, ami six tliree feet each.

Keep clear of a man who docs not value bis own character. In any businem never wade into water where you cannot see the bottom. Put no dependence on the label of a bog, and count money after vour own kind. Don't go to law' unions you have nothing to loae; lawyer*' house* are built on fools' head*. Drink nothing without seeing it, sign nothing without reading it, and make sure tluit it means no more than it aaja Come, and Let Vt Reason Together. To the afflicted in body, we offer a few words of plain, practical reasoning. No matter under what form of sicknoM yott lalvor there in one great truth you idtould ever kcp in mind, via.: All dis ease originates in an impure condition of the blood. Purify thai, and the dis ease must depart, for it Ita* nothing to feed on; but you cannot purift the blood by the use of poisonous drugs and ex- Ita native stimulant*; the relief which these afford is temporary and deceptive, leaving von worse off at everv interval. Tlie best blood purifier ever discovered is Dr. Walker's famous Vinegar Hitters, compounded of simple herbs. No mat ter liow liopelens yiur case may anem, try the Vinegar Bitters, and a few draught* will convince you of their virtue. Dr. Wglker, tlie discoverer of* this priceless remedy, had beeu given up to ,lie by the physician*, and is now a a mud and healtity man from tlieir n*e. • In ft arm <1 Fingers Caused by Kings.

Well, there are in the British islands over 4,000,000 cats; that, multiplied by twenty, gives an annual saving of £80,000,000 worth of property; and these oat* do not toko £4,000,000 to keep them alive—not more, at any rate.
