Painless Deal*.
" One of the moot common error*,"
any* Dr. Clarke, "is the idea tliat pain
ami dying arc inseparable companion*.
The truth ia they rarely gii together.
Occasionally, the act of dissolution is a
pamfnl one,bat this is an exception to the
general rule. The rule is that uncon
sciousness, not pain, attends the final
act, Convulsive, twitching*, livid fea
turos, gurgling in the throat, and simi
lar ghastly symptoms which mark the
last moment, are only exhibition* of un
conscions automatic action. The testi
mony of the dying, so long as they are
able to give any testimony, is that their
suffering* do not increase as the termin
ation of life approaches, but, on the con
trary, grow less,"
The following incident illustrates the
truth of this remark, and ao far as a sin
gle instance is of value, eouftrms what
has been said as to the painlessness of
dissolution. A medical friend, whom 1
attended professionally iu his illness,
was a victim of the most painful disease.
He was aware of its incurable character.
■Supported by an intelligent faith in thai
ana immortality, he prepared himself
with admirable courage and unfaltering
trust for the final change. In conse
quence of continual and severe paiu, he
was ohligcvl during the last few mouths
of his life to take opium daily. He sent
for me one night soon after midnight. A
brief examination was sufficient to show
that the cud was uear.
••' Do these symptoms mean perfora
tion ?' asked Dr. .
"' They do,' was the reply.
" • Then I have reached tne end of the
chapter,'he quietly added, 'how long
shall 1 pro!abtv last f
" ' That you Ln >w,' I said, ' as well as
any one, perhaps twenty-four hour* or
thir y-six hours.'
Scarcely heeding the reply ho con
tinued :
" ' I am ready; bnt promise me this:
that I shall not suffer pain if you can
prevent it.'
" The promise was given, of course,
and 1 agree*! to see him every hour or
two as loug as he lived. This being done
I said to him: * Que thing remains how
shall I ooiumunieate with you when, at .
the very close, the time comes that you
cannot indicate whether you suffer or.
not?'
" After a little talk the following sig
nals were agreed npou: He was to indi
cate a negative answer, or no, b> raising
the forefinger! ami affirmative answer,
or yes, by raising the forefinger and the
one next it also. One finger was no,
two fingers, yes. Having arrange*! this
matter, he took rather more than his
habitual dose of opium, and was soon
comparatively qniet. The pa n did not
return. For twelve or fifteen hoars he
appeared cinch as usual; conversed
with his family and friends, and was
cheerful and serene. Then as nature's
anesthetic ix-gan to act, he became dull
and heavy, lu answer to retxsated in
quire* as to pain, he constantly replie*!
in the negative. At length he answere*!
less readily. For an hoar or so before
death he answere*! only by the aignal of
his fingers which had been agreed upon,
and by that signal he replied quickly and
intelligently. Fifteen minutes after dis
solution 1 "asked him, 'Do you suffer
pain ?' He instantly made the negative
signal by raising the forefinger. After
this he made no sign, bnt slept peaceful
ly to the eud."
A Short Storr of Paris Life.
The adventures of Jean Baptiste
Roussel make one of the strangest chap
ters in the criminal records of Paris.
He was articled to an attorney at Lille,
made an advantageous marriage, and
opened an office at Tourcoing, where he
was known as a cold, methodical, con
scientious business man and a model
husband. *At Brussels, where he passed
four days every week, he was a reckless
financier, a bold speculator, a bon vi
vant, and a "fast" man. Thus the
notary lived from 1868 to 187-1, when he
turned his eyes toward Pans. There
was a notary's office for sale at Conrbe
voie, a suburb outside the capital. He
purchased the business and settled
there. To inspire confidence he com
bined luxury with piety. He had a
splendidly furnished house, and kept
open table; but he was verv strict abont
lasting and praying, and Lad an altar
with burning tapers fitted np in his bed
room. The good people were easily
taken in, and deposited their money and
securities with him to the extent of sev
eral hundred thousand franca. At Conr
bevoie he was remarkable for his sobrie
ty and piety, bat in the center of Paris
he figured among the worst rakes.
When his credit was exhausted he racked
his brain to supply his wants. A yonng
man named July, son of a policeman,
was released from jail, where he had
served a term for passing himself off as
a prince of Morocco, under the title of
Ben Ali Guenaori. Joly again assumed
the title, and, in order the better to en
trap his victims, took to himself a secre
tary. The person employed by this
sham prince as his scribe was none
other than the whilom secretary of M.
Forneryxl, one of the ex-presidents of
the Swiss confederation.' Ronssel made
the acquaintance of these two gentle
men, and the trio formed an association
for raising funds to enable Ben Ali Guen
aori to recover the lost throne of his an
cestors. At the same time they organ
ized a society for utilizing the sweep
ings of Paris. While they were making
dilpes of the credulous, and amusing
themselves at the pnblic dancing -rooms
and skating palaces, the notary business
at Courbevoie was rapidly going to rain,
and at length the crash came. Ronssel,
finding it impossible to hide the state of
his affairs any longer, proclaimed
himself bankrupt, with liabilities
amounting to 850,000 francs, and assets
nil. The inquiry set on foot in behalf
of the number of pool persons rained by
the notary's profligacy, led to his arrest.
His bearing in court was characteristic
of the man; he feigned injured inno
cence in a manner worthy of Tartuffe.
However, with that excessive mercy
svith which most French juries temper
their justice, he was given the benefit of
extenuating circumstances, and, al
though frund guilty of embezzlement,
he got off with five years' imprisonment.
tzar and Fisherman.
The Russian province of Bimbirsk,
which is now the chief sufferer by the
famine that, is ravaging Eastern Russia,
was the scene of a very picturesque
episode some time ago. In the course
of one of the Czar's periodical journeys
to the South, he was descending the
Volga, from Kazan to Saratoff, through
the country of the famous "Volga
fishermen," whose strange mode of life
has furnished material for one of the
best of Russian romances. A little be-
low the town of Simbirsk a voice was
heard hailing the steamer, and a fishing
boat, with three men in her, came along
side. A rope was thrown to them, and
the eldest, a fine-looking old gray-beard,
scrambled on deck, leaving his two sous
in the boat. Being asked what he
watted,' he produced a magnificent
sterlet—>a fish of the sturgeon tribe,
estcemejl a great delicacy in Russia
—and said that this fish being the
finest efcaght in the Volga that season,
he had decided not to sell it, bat to offer
it as a. present to " Father Alexander
Nikolaidvitcb," (the Czar). Several offi
cers immediately went aft to announce
the intended compliment to the em
peror, Who at once called the old man to
liim, arid,- shaking him cordially by the
hand, tfimked him very heartily for his
gift, wls!b he assured him shoald figure
upon the imperial table that very even
ing. The veteran mnttereu a few broken
words of acknowledgment, and returned
to his boat with the air of a man who
nad nothing left to desire; but the Czar,
though tar too considerate to offer any
direct equivalent for the present, took
care to Jtequite it soon after with a new
boat and a large stock of nets of the
best quality.

! FOR THE CARE OF CHILDREN.
ruts ss* wl■**!- Ksles is be Observe* br
.Wstbers Osrlsa tbe list Messss.
The New York Ihiar 1 of Health has
published the following rules for the
care of children during the hot season.
Tliov will be found useful iu any
locality.
NTRSINQ or INFANTS.
Over-feeding does more harm than
any thing else; nurse an infant a mouth
j or'two old every two or three hours.
Nurse an infant of six months and
: over five times iu twenty-four hour*, and
no more.
If an infant is thirsty, give it pure
water or barley water; uo sugar.
Ou the hottest days a few drops of
whiskev mav be added to either water or
food; tlie whiskey not to exceed a tea
spoonful in twenty-four hours.
IKKIUNO or INFANTS.
ltoil a teaspooni'ul of powdered barley
(ground iu eoffee griuder) and a gill of
water, with s little salt, for fifteen iniu
utes; struiti, then mix it with half as
much boiled milk, add s lump of white
sugar, aiae of a walnut, and give it luke
warm from a nursing bottle. Keep Un
tie and mouthpiece in a bowl of water
wheu not in use, to which a little soda
mav be adde*k
For lufauts five or six month* old,
give half barley water aud half boiled
milk, with saltVtind a lump of sugar.
For older lufauts give more niilk than
bailey water.
For iufants very costive, give oat
meal instead of barley. Cook and straiu
aa before.
When your breast milk i ouly half
enough, change off between breast milk
and thia prepared food.
In hot wreather, it blue litmus paper,
applied to the food, turns red, the food
is too acid, aud you must make a flesh
mesa, or add a small pinch of bakiug
soda.
Infants of six months may have beef
tea **r beef soup once a day, bv itself, or
mixed with other food; aud when ten or
twelve months old, s crust of br* ad and
a piece of rare beef to suck.
No child under two years ought to eat
' at your table.
tlivc no candies, in fact, nothing tfiat
• is uot eoutaiued iu these rules, without
a doctor's orders.
SCMMKK COMPLAINT.
It come* from overfeeding, and hot
aud foul air. Keep doors and window*
open.
Wash your well children with cold
water twice a day, and oftener in the hot
season.
Never ueglect looseness of the bowels
in an infant; consul? the family or dis
peusary physician at once, and he will
give voti rules about what it should take
and Low it should be nursed. Keep
your rooms as cool as p*ssible, have
theai well veutilated, and do not allow
auy smell to come from sinks, pyiviea,
garbage boxes, or gutters about the
house where you live. See that your
apartments are right. Where au infant
is cross an*l irritable in the hot weather,
a trip on the water will do it a great deal
of good (ferrvboat or steamboat), and
may prevent cLolera infantum.
storie* of Animal Sagacity
Colonel Rice, now of General Miles*
Fifth United States Infantry, was in
company with a gentleman of our ac
quaintance, ami the conversation natur
ally turned on Indian warfare and
frontier experiences, the day being the
anniversary of the Custer massacre.
Colonel Rice, who has seen service in
Indian campaigns, related a striking
anecdote concerning the sagacity of a
horse which lost his rider in the fatal
light. Some mouths after the battle a
steamer having on board a portion of
the Fifth Infantry was pursuing her
voyage near the month of the Powder
River, on the Yellowstone. The men on
the lookout, oneof whom was the famous
scout Buffalo Bill, who was scouring
the surrounding country for indications
of hostile Indians, saw in the distance
an object moving slowly toward the
boat. • Ther anxiously scrutinized it as
it continued to approach, supposing that
it might be the advance of a body of
hostilea. Their suspicions were not
lessened when they discovered it to be a
horse, which might be that of a scout
watching their movements or signaling
the advance of the enemy in force.
When the animal came to the bant of
the nver, however, it was seen to be nn
monnted and alone, and ou approaching
the boat it neighed and pranced, mani
festing every sigu of its joyful recogni
tion.
The boat was stopped, and when the
horse was taken on board it was found
to bear the brand, "Seventh Cavalry."
The place where it was found was sev
enty or eighty miles in a bee line from
the scene of the Caster fight. The ani
mal had evidently seen or heard the
boat in the distance, and recojpixed it
as a sign of civilization, and being tired
of its free life in the wilderness, gladly
embraced the opportunity of returning
to its accustomed dnties. Another kin
dred incident showing the strength of
the second nature implanted by human
companionship in domestic animals wa*
related by Colonel Rice. Upon one of
the steamers used in the campaign
against the Sioux was a small dog be
longing to General Miles, which one
day fell overboard and was given up for
lost Six months afterward as the same
steamer was returning, the singular
sight was witnessed of a smsll dog and a
wolf trotting along the shore in friendly
companionship. The dog was recognized
as that lost overboard. The steamer was
stopped and the dog taken on board,
delighted to meet with his old friends,
while the wolf on the approach of the
vessel ran back into the bush. The in
telligent animal hail apparently antici
pated the return of the boat and
patiently awaited his restoration to his
master. —Boston Traveller.
An Ant Balrv on a Virginia Creeper.
The large leaves have been oonverted
into dairy-farms by a colored family
named Formica, otherwise known as
black ants. The race to which this
family belongs have for years been no
torious as slave drivers and crnel task
masters. They are extremely warlike
and go into battle with regularly organ
ized battalions, making slaves of their
prisoners, who, yielding to the force of
circumstances, become faithful servants,
and procure all the food that is eaten by
their idle masters. The family living
under my veranda, although fierce and
determined in tbeir nature, have ap
parently devoted themselves exclusively
to dairy farming, having numerous herds
of cattle—cows and calveß—that are
regularly milked by their owners, who
drink the milk for their food. One of
the larger leavea of the Virginia croeper
forms a rich meadow, where from fifty
to seventy-five cows aud calves can pas
tare. These little domestic animals are
known as aphides, aud it is certainly an
extraordinary sight to see the black ant
to whom they seem to belong go through
the field and milk these little oows.
He carries with him a long whip (anten
na), with which he strikes the little
docile animal on the back, when it im
mediately deposits the milk that its mas
ter eagerly drinks. When the pasture
gives out, the ant carries his herd to
another leaf or field ; an l when the little
calves are old enough to be milked, he
begins the education by biting them.
It is carious to see the owner defend
his flock from an intruder. Let another
black ant come into the field—that is on
to the leaf—and he attacks him with
great fury, driving him from the prem
ises at. once. All this and more too, my
lens shows me of my neighbor's peculiar
habits. I flud that if I venture too close
and arouse the suspicion of the dairy
man by placing my hand or finger near
his little farm, that I am warned by
a sharp bite to be more circumspect in
my movements, and not to become too
familiar on a short acquaintance.
M. Fowel, who has given a very close
study to the ants of Switzerland, re
lates some very remarks Vile instances of
an intelligence in these li i tie creatures
which seems almost ncredible, and in
fact it is almost impossible for any one
to comprehend the absolute mental
capacity of these tiuy, and for the most
part industrious dwellers on the earth,
unless he seeks through the medium of
his own observation a closer knowledge
of their habits andjmodes of life.— Egbert
L. Viele., in Harper's Magazine.
OKHUR OF HEAT WAVES.
Where Ihe Hot Wm tier i onin I rewi.
Now that the torrid season is prae
tically over (aav* the New York IVitmrn )
one of the questions nsturslly suggested
by the terrific heat waves which spaa
medically fall np*m u* i*: "What ia
their origin ? Are they duo to local infill
onoea, or directly euse<l by fluctuations
in Uie sun itself? Doe* that great
source of heat and light remain uniform
in it* supplies, or are its forces subject
to periodic ebb ami flow ? lu *h>rt, ia
the sun a variable
affirmative answer tft the last question
might apjiear, there woiiUl really la*
nothing atrnuge in sucli a fact. The
fixed stai-s are kuowii to be gigantic
suns, shining by their own light, and
giving out, undoubtedly, enonuoi a
quantities of heat, altl>*>ugh we are too
distant to perceive it, and each i# prob
ably the centre of an attendant system
of planets, just as our aau is. Yet
antoug these far-off worlds we tlud many
subject to periodic variations f bril
liauey, app<aruig and dtsap|>eariitg with
almoin clockwork regularity, or suddenly
flaring np as uew stars uud aa quickly
fa*liug away forever.
One of the iu>st striking examples
of this variability is the star Mtra,
or "the wonderful," m the eonstel
latum of The Whale. This singu
lar IHKIV passes every year through a
auccxaaiou of changes so extreme that
for five mouths it is al>s*>lutely invisible,
although, when at ita brightest, it equals
iu splendor a star of the second magni
tude. Its greatest brilliancy, too, is not
always the same. It does not increase or
diminish br the same gradation, nor
are the successive intervals of ita varia
tion* constant. iu fact whilw the aver
age period of its changes is about 331
days, the star is also subject to mauy
minor irregularities. Another variable
sun of short period is Algol iu Perseus,
At its brightest this star is commoulv of
the second magnitude, but in less than
four hours it falls to one of the fourth
maguitude, and remains in that con
dition for twenty niiuutos. Thou it be
gins to increase iu brightness, and in
three hours ami a half more has regained
its rank as a second magnitude star, aud
continues to hold it for two days and
a half, when it again jtasacs through its
periodic changes. These are by no
means isolated case*. The number of
stars kuowii to be variable i* large ;
some of tliem pass through their round
of variations in long and others iu short
periods, aud all are apparently liable to
fluctuations whioii conform to uo fixed
rules.
Several facts seem to indicate that our
sun is a variable star of the same kind,
though uot subject to such extreme
changes as Mint and Algol. It is fright
ful to thiuk what would happen if it dis
aiq>eared altogether for four years, as
Mint once did, or even if it went through
such rapid variations of brilliancy a we
see iu Algol ; but that sun doe* vary can
hardly be doubted. In some years ita
surface is found to be almost perfectly
at rest. In others, ita forces seem to l>e
in an extntordina-v state of activity,
giving rise to enormous spots which
undergo the most rapid and violent
changes, and throwing out vast masses
of incandescent gases to inconceivable
distance*. How these changes are pro
duced still remains a nivsterv. On the
supposition that the sun s heat was kept
up by a constaut stream of meteors fall
ing into that body, it was natural to
suppose that the variations in the
amount of heat thrown off depended
upon irregularities in the supply of its
meteoric fuel. On the more generally
accepted theory, however, that the tem
peniture of the snn is sustained, not by
enormous showers of meteors, but by
the contraction of its own mass, these
variations of heat and light are probably
due to corresponding variations in the
process of condensation. Judging from
the outbreak and disappearance of solar
spots, it seems probable that the sun
goe* through these changes, on an aver
age, every eleven years, though the time
may extend to thirteen years, or be less
than ten. Taking this period of eleven
years, and remembering that Jupiter
revolves around the sun in nearly the
same peruxl, some astronomers have
sought to show that the greater of the
solar variations were due to the action
of that planet, while others have argu ,-tl
that the minor changes were canscd by
the earth and Venus. These views,
however, seem to rest ou no solid foun
dation.
But, whatever be the cause, it may be
safely assumed from the periodic preva
lence and disappearance of the spots
and from other imlications, that the sun
like so many of the stars, is really
variable, passing through its phases in
a period of about eleven years, and that to
its variations.and not to local influences,
must be ascribed those extraordinary
outbursts of heat which make life intol
erable in summer and are doubtless
the origin of our exceptionally mild
winters. It seems probable, too, that
oar heated terms are likely to be much
more severe in the years of sun-spot
abundance, than in those when solar
disturbances are few, though on this
point there is no conclusive evidence.
The fearful heat of 1872, however, oc
curred near the sun-spot maximum,
while the milder inflictions lioth of this
snmmer and of 1876 happened near the
sun-spot minimum. Future observa
tions will no doubt throw much light on
these obscure points, and it may even
be that as our knowledge of solar phy
sics increases we shall be able to predict
tlie arrival of these unusual heat waves,
and thus rob them of half their terrors.

Mining iu the Streets of New York.

couple of miners, who at once begau
operations in this strange mine. Their
success is recorded by a local paper
as follows:
Messrs. Peer and Roberta, who are
conducting the mining operations on the
site of the Bond street lire, aay that tho
yield of precious metals fully realises
their most sanguine expectations. "it
pays," said Mr. Roberts, "better than
any mine in California. We are taking
ont abont 8-VX) a day, and have beon do
ing so for some time. At first wo onlv
got about 82-1 a day, but as we worked
over to the other end tho yield lwcamo
richer. We have collected between two
, and three hundred ounces of gold and
alxiut 5,000 onnces of silver." Mr.
Peer said that they had made 810,000 in
five weeks, and as they had washed only
abont one-third of the accnmnlation of
ashes within tho incloenre, he expected
to realize as much as 832,000 on the
completion of the work. Peer and
Roberta are natives of California, and
have spent many years in the gold fields
of that State. Before they undertook
the present work the contract had beou
refused by all the refiners in the city
and vicinity, and by a firm in Cincinnati,
on the ground that they conld not rnnke
it pay expenses, and the owners of the
property were abont to sell the dirt for
manure, for which the lime and ashea
that it contained made it valuable, when
Mr, Peer and his partner, who were in
the city on other bnsiness, heard of tho
opportunity and offered to nndertake
the work.
A Fire-Fighting Snake.
An exchange save: Unlesa the Brazil
ians are gnilty of very large atory tell
ing, the snake they call the surncncn is
braver far than the buffalo; for it is
averred that, if a fire be kindled in the
woods, these creatures glide ont of their
hilling places, dash straight at the ob
noxious thing, and scatters its embers
with their tails; persisting, even though
half-roasted, until the fire is utterly ex
tinguished. If a man carries a torch
near their hannts, thoy pass and repass
him, lashing his legs until he drops it.
when a summon immediately coils itself
about, and puts oat tho flninc. A di- '
minutive terrier of our acquaintance
used to act on the same principle, al
though his hatred of fire was a limited
one. He had no objection to it in its
proper place, anil wonld complacently
contemplate the parlor fire, let it blaze
ever so merrily, without so much as a j
wink; but the sight of a lighted piece of
paper roused Tiny's ire, and set him
barking grievouslv; and if the paper
were thrown on the floor, he went for it
at once, deftly contriving to atnmp out
the flame without burning hia toes.

An Appalling Chine#* Care.
It ia au undoubted fart that even
dowu to the time of Sydenham, " mum
my" wa* held to be a <irttg of great cura
tive power in China, and waa adminis
tered in eases of fever and ague. But
what whould be said of the "exhibition"
to a patient of a piece of human flrah
freshly taken fiom the lirii g eabjert f
Thi* exceptionally appalling medica
ment seem* to have been made use of
under very singular eirenmatance* in
China. A recent numlier of the Pekin
Oaititr published an application to the
emperor from the governor general of
the province of Kwaug-Tung, for per
misMon to erect a memorial *t nurture in
honor of the filial devotion of a voting
lady twenty-one year* of age, the d.vugh
ter of a magistrate of Canton. She ia
denonln-d a* having l>eea " brought up
bv her father from childhood, well edu
cated, and deservedly reputed for vir
tue and intelligence." Iu the spring
of last year her p*p fell ill, and wa*
rnoet tenderly nnraed by his devoted
daughter. At the end of six months the
old gentleman became much worse,
whereupon the young lady ent a piece of
flewh (torn her arm and mixed it with hia
medicine. Thi# remedy proved fatal to
the pat'aut; and hw daughter, who had
vowed to sacrifice her life for hia, poi-
Noued herself on the same day that her
father died. Tbia melancholy story of
heroic filial piety, mingled with the
moat harbarooa ignorance and supersti
tion, may be instructively read in
Inxtapoaitkm with a letter received in
Shanghai from the Homan Catholic
bishop of Bhanalii. Say* MonaigJior
Munagatta, who ia a resident of Tai
Yuen, the capital of a province in which
famine ha* leen raging with the most
fearful severity: "Until lately the starv
ing people were content to fee*! on the
dead; but now thev are slaughtering the
living for food. '.The husband rata hia
wife; parents rat their children; and in
their turn son* and daughter* cat their
dead parent*. This goe* on almost
eTerv day." Cannibalism has in s more
or Ira* marked d<-gn# been an attendant
horror on the majority of great famines;
bat the systematic eating of human fleali
in a time of scarcity is hardly to be won
dered at in a ooontry where young ladira
of rank, education, and intelligence grow
up to be twenty-one in the belief that a
pieoe of hurnau flesh can be beneficial
as an inward medicament. It may be
meutioned that the imperial govern
ment have sanctioned the election of the
memorial to the daughter of the Canton
magistrate, but that only very languid
steps have been taken to alleviate the
ravages of the famine.
The Sheep * Sene of Hearing.
It ia mud that ao acute ia the abeep a
sense of hearing that she can distinguish
the cry of her own lamb among as many
as a tbonaand others, all bleating at the
same time; and tho lamb, too, ia able to
recognize it* mother's voice, even thonglr
it be in the midst of a large flock.
James Hoag, who was a shepherd as
well as a poet, tells ns that it was very
amusing to watch the sheep and lamls
during the shearing season. While the
sheep wore being shorn tlie lambs
would be put into a fold by themselves,
and the former would be sent to join
their little ones as soon as the operation
of shearing waa over. The moment a
lamb heard its mother's voieo it would
hasten from the crowd to meet her, but
instead of finding the " rough, well-Had,
oomfortable mamma " whieh it had left
a Bhort tirno before, it wonld meet a
strange and most deplorable looking
creature. At tlie sight of this it would
wheel aliout, uttering tlie most piteous
cry of desp iir, and perhaps run away.
Soon, however, the sheep's voice was
heard again; the lamb would thereupon
return, then once more bound away, and
someti nos repeat this ootid act for ten
or a dozen times before it fully under
stood that tho shorn ewe was in reality
its mother.

All families arc interested in their family
physician*. Thoy may take quack medicine* for
alight ailments, but when true sickness* comes,
then must come the family doctor. All are in
terested then in this matter, and every family
newspaper should giro them valuable informa
tion and advice.
Every otic knows that. In time* gone by, the
great family doctor* were educated in New
York and ]'hil*d*l|ifala, but that in these day*
such i* no longer the case. The great cities of
the West, Louisville, Chicago, Cincinnati, all
contain medical colleges in which tho very beat
education la to bo obtained.
The eoet of this education it far less than it
i* In Eastern oitiee ; a fact of great interest to
parents and guardians, and to all interested in
medical students. Indeed, ao important is thia
money question to our readers, that we mast
give them information which will save for
themselves and their friends both time and
money.
In the Atlantic cities* student baa to pay for
two conraes of lecture# 6155 each ; or 6SIO for

amounting to 6540. Bia board for two sessions
ia 6250, or 6140 for each. Hia fees and aboard
ooating 6020. These facts and figures are offi

In Louisville, Chicago, etc., where the modi-

New York, the student pays for his two coursss

fee cost #3O. All fees amounting to #l6O for
tbe two sessions His board for two sessions
costs #l4lO, or #|) for nosh. Tbe entire fees
and board coaling #3) O. These figures are
also official, and show that the student who
goes to lha great oollegee of the West saves
fully #3OO In the cost of a rtrst-elaa* medical
education. If to this amount be added that of
the increase cost of travel, It is evident that
#4OO would be a moderate estimate of the
amount saved by him. Indeed, students re
siding lu the New Kngtand and Atlantic Htates
can, by going to first-class medical colleges in
the West, save from #3OO to #BOO In the cost of
a medical education. Hurely these great money
facts cannot fall to Interest every reader, and
cause him to bring them to the attention of all
studying or about to study medicine Parents
and per capture will, we feel ears, thank us for
this rainahis information.
lint there are other fact* now to be given of
even greater interest ; facts which show that a
student can not only save #3OO It the coat of

say, the student will. In seventeen months, ob
