A strip of flannel or a soft napkin, folded lengthwise and dipped In hot water and wrung out, and then applied atound the neck of a child that has the croup, will usually bring relief In a few minutes. A proper towel folded several times, and dipped In hot water.qutckly wrung and applied over tho site of toothacho or neuralgia, will generally nftord prompt relief. This treatment for collo has been found to work like magic. Nothing so promptly cuts short a congestion of tho lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as hot water when ap plied early In tho case and thoroughly. Hot water tnken freely half an hour before bedtime Is an excellent cathar tic In the case of constipation, while It has a soothing effect upon the stom ach nnd bowels.Thls treatment, con tinued a few months, with the addition of a cup of hot water slowly sipped half an hour beforo each meal,, with proper attention to diet, will euro most cases of dyspepsia. Ordinary headaches almost always yield to tho simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and back of the neck. Phrenological Journal. HIS GOOD .MEMORY. An Anecdote of President McKInley nnd n Washington I.nndlord. From tho Washington Post. Proprietor Burch, of the Ebbltt House, has run that hotel for many years, and has a large acquaintance among public men, and never falls to recognize them when they come to Washington, even though they may have been away for years. He has a good momory for dates, too, but he thinks that President McKInley beats him. The President boarded at the Ebbltt while In Congress, and went there when he came back to bo Inaugn rated President. The day before that event he sent for Mr. Burch and said: "Burch, do you know what day this is?" i, "March 3," answered Mr. Burch, "and to-morrow you'll be Inaugurated President." "Oh,I know all that," said the ma jor, smiling, "but there Is something more Important connected with the date than that." "Well, I give it up," said Mr. Burch. "Twenty years ago to-day, March 3, 1877." said Mr. McKInley, "I met you for the first time. I came to this a Congressman-elect, with Gov. Hayes, who came to be Inaugurated Presi dent, and was Introduced to you." Mr. Burch was compelled to confess that the major's memory was better than his own, but It Is safe to say that neither of them dreamed that 20 years from that first meeting the young Congressman-elect from Ohio would come back to Washington, as did President Hayes that day, an ex-Governor of Ohio, and to be Inaugurated President of the United States. SEASON'S POKER GAME. lie Got Dcspcrntc nnd Almost Risked His Grentost Trensnre. From tho New York Journal. The poker game was at Its height. Beason had lost all his money, 'but he was burning with the gambling fever, and would not leave the table. He pledged his watch', a gift of his deceas ed father, tor chips, and quickly lost them all. Then he laid on the table a ring which had been given him by a loving sister. The chips he received in exchange lasted just three minutes. For a moment he hesitated, his face flushed, and he started to leave; but, when he heard a sneering remark about his poker abilities, he 'uttered an oath, sat down again, and' converted into chips a diamond pin, which was a birthday present from the girl he loved. In ten minutes he was "broke" again. The fever was now burning fiercely in his veins, and he cried reoklessly: "I'll put up everything I possess the shirt on my back, If It comes to that." Wild with excitement, he sprang to his feet and shouted: "I will do you fel lows yet. I will keep up the game even If I have to risk" He stopped. His face became livid. He looked around like a caged beast. Then, making a rush for the door, he moaned: "Not that! Oh, heavens, I cannot risk that! No! No! No!" As he disappeared one of the players remarked: "Poor devil! I guess he was going to put up some keepsake from his mother." But such was not the case. For one awful moment Beason had been tempt ed to risk his bicycle. DUE TO HIS WIPE. It Wns She That Made William V hlto famous. From the Clack-Book. Here Is an Interesting bit of gossip In reference to Will White's now famous editorial, "What's the matter with Kansas?" After writing the manuscript Mr. White pigeon-holed It, thinking It a little too forcible even for the bewhls kered pops of his unique common wealth; but Mr. White Is fortunate In having a wife who Is capable of man aging his paper during his absences, and on one occasion, running short of editorial matter, she discovered the discarded sheets. The next morning they appeared in print, and Mr. White returned to find himself famous. BIG SHOE Acknowledged Cheapest Shoe House in Scranton.
