VETERANS OF THE WAR RE PAID INSUFPFERING AND

DISEASE FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS MR. JOHN SHER- MAN SOUGHT RELIEF FROM THE TOR-

TURES OF INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM.

From the Prescott Journal There is v0 man in the towhship of Ed-

wardsburg who is better known than Mr. John Sherman. He is one of the many Canadians who atthe outbreak of the

American rebellion joined the army 0° th’ North, and to the exposure and bard wip which be endured during that tryiog and perilous timeyloes he owe the long years of suffering ah ch be bas since vudergone. The writer remembers seeing Mr, Sherman a few years ago when he was +o crippled

NOVEL TURKISH BATH,

An Electric Quilt Invented Which Will Add to the Home Comforts.

You can take a Turkish bath in the parior. With the electric quilt which has been invented by Snedekor, the London electrician, and) Member of the Royal ty, youd can notonly save yourself the expense Of a bath ticket, but you can bathe amid all the comforts of hume. All you have to do is to wrap yourself ina quilt, turn on a stopcock and wait, And you do not have to wait long, either, In thirty seconds from the time the stopoock is turned, you are weltering in a heat of 150 degrees Fahrenheit, without steam, without visible sign of heat and, better than all, without inconvenience to aby one else who may he in the room.

One of the pecuilar sights that may te

soci

seen in the parlor of a house where the new electric quilt is kept ia that of a woman with a thick ‘Turkish quilt

around her, taking a Turkish bath, with all the windows of the room open, while persons standing within a foot of her are shivering from the chilly atmosphere outside. The owner of the quilt may also use it as an ordinary bed covering.

The invention ts called the thermogen,

but it is a common quilt, all the same. The only difference is that, in addition to the cotton, wool or eider down of

which it is made, there is also a coil of The coil is bent and has many joints. so that it will move freely and in

-| any direction like a coat of mall in olden

times, [t is embedded in the soft body of the quilt, and through it a current of electricity is permitted to flow. It is this which produces the heat, but the heat is moderated by the layer of material that is between the wearer and the coll wire. over the person who takes the parlor Turkish bath with

uniform strength from every part of the |

quilt Attachment with the household cleetric system will give all the current that is needed.

Im case the heat ts excessive and threat- ems to scorch the bather, shere is a fuse aé one end of the quilt which instantly melts at the danger point, and the cur- rent is shut off automatically.

Physicians who have tested the new thermogen believe it will be a great aid to them in connection with the operating table. In long operations, where artificial means are required to sustain the pa- tient’s temperature, instead of the hot

blankets and hot water now in use, the electric quilt will give a steady and even temperatare. It will also be used in case of chronic rheumatism. The inventor claims for his idea that the household uses for it are without number.

The thermogen will be of the greatest value to persons who have just taken a ehill Semetimes they do this at an hour when it is impossible to obtain hot water, and in apy case the heating sys- tem of the quilt is said to be more beneficial than water. A man comes home tired and chilled, slips into the juilt and, perhaps, a dangerous illness is averted. It should be the means of suving many lives.

Atter using the quilt, it will be found pleasant to take a cold sponge bath. This ean be taken with comfort after the body the ther- ‘There are many too deiicate to stand immersion in cold water, stjll the quilt, it is claimed, wil! be of value to invalida.

Fashions of the Lapp.

The costume of the Lapps has not altered very much for the last thonsand years. ‘heir summer garment is asually of # eoarse weolen goods, and has seme- thing the cut of a shirt with a high cwl- lar. Among the sea-Lapps it is for the most part undyed; among the other Lapps usually blue, sometimes green or browa, and even black smock-frocks have been seen

Round the wristhands, along the seam in the back, and on the edges this smock is ornamented with strips of red and gel- low cloth. Under this garment is a sim- ier one either plain or figured worn next to the body, for the Lapp never wears linen underclothing. The trousers are of white woolen goods, rather narrow and reachng to the ankles, where they are tied inside the shoes with long, slender shoestrings. Over these drawers are usually worn leggings of thin, tanned skins, reaching from the ankles to the k nees.

Stockings the Lapp never wears. He fills the upper curving tip of his shoes with # sort of grass, which is gathered in summer and beaten to makes it soft and pliable. The winter costume only differs very slightly from that worn by the men. The smock is somewhat longer and !s made without the big, standing collar, instead of which a kerchief or cap is worn about the neck. To the woven and often silver ornamented girdie hang a knife, scissors, key, needle and thread. The head-covering is not only different in the two sexes, but also differs accord- ing to the locality.

A Little Too Fast. “Look here, sir,’’ said the irate cus-

tomer to the dry goods clerk, ‘‘you sold |

me this piece of goods warranted a fast color, It was green when I bought it, and now ithas turned to a eickly blue in less than two weeks,”’

‘“Well, madam,’ expostulated the clerk, ‘‘you could hardly expect a color

to go faster than that.’’

ONLY A

MEN WHO DREW HARMONY FROM THIS SIMPLE INSTRUMENT.

One Performer Used Sixteen Jows’ Harps In Giving Ove Selection— Differing Views of the Derivation of the Instrument and Its Name.

It is very certain that, whatever ihe derivation may be, it (the Jow’s harp) | bas little or no special affinity to the Jewish race, though itis of extremely ancient date. Its introduction into Eng- land cannot be traced, but the term is clearly a corrupted form of the French jen’trompe, literally a toy trumpet, but the corruption cf jeu into Jew is evi- dently of a good age. Perhaps it was a jeu d’esprit. Timbs, in bis ‘Popular Error,”’ says that the instrument is called a Jew’s harp by Hakluyt. Ba- con called it jeu-trumpe, while jeu- trump.is used by Beaumont and Fletcher. In Bailey’s Dictionary (1733) will be found ‘‘Jews harp, an instru- ment of musick.’’ The substitution of “‘harp’’ commonly for ‘‘trump’’ is ap- parently a later growth, although, of course, Hakluyt points to an carly use. In all probability the French origin of the term is the correct ope and *‘jaws- harp’’ may have been the matter of fact name invented by the country foik among whom it civculated—maybe through the elforts of the chapman and the packman. Brewer is very bricf on the subject. He confines himse/f to the statement that ‘‘the best players on thia instrament have been Koch, a Prussian soldier under Frederick the Greut, Ku- nert, Amstein and some others.”’ makes no iwention may be said to have been the master of all players,

The celebrated Stephanie Felicite (countess de Genlis) in her memoirs tells usa great deal about Koch, tie German player, which is worth record ing. This soldier, who is described as a ‘‘musician,’’ was in the service of Fred- erick the Great, and, being fond cf re- lieving the tedium of sentry go, he used to practice on the Jew’s harp with con- siderable skill. One night Frederick, who was an amateur musician, heard what be thought was a distinct orches- tra under his window, when he discoy- ered that the sounds came from one of his privates. Surprised on Jearning that such wonderful effects could be produced by a single man with two Jews’ harps, he ordered the player into his prosence. He was duly presented to the king the following morning and performed, to the delight and satisfaction of his majesty, who rewarded Koch with $50 and gave him his discharge that be might devote his time and attention to the advance of his talent.

Koch had not theslightest knowledge of music, but owed his, ability to nat- ural taste and instinct. He made quite a fortune traveling sbout and perfor:a- ing im public and private and retired to Vienna, where he lived until Jong past the age of 80. He died about 1830. He used two harps at once, in ‘‘the same manner as the peasants of the Tyro),’’ and produced without doubt the har- mony ef two notes struck at the same moment, Which was considered by the musically curious as somewhat extraor- dinary when the limited powers of the instrument were remembered. Terr Koch had a fine idea of theatrical effect, for it was his custom to require that all the lights should be extinguished in or- der that the illusion produced by his playing might be increased.

Another German, a peasant and herds- man named Eulenstein, abeut the Le- ginning of this century devoted his at- tention to the cultivation of the jew’s harp, scftening and enriching the tone of this ‘‘twanging’’ instrument into al- most perfect harmony. Indeed Eulen- stein acquired a musical reputation from the way he manipulated tis meager and not overagreeable instrument. The jew’s harp, usually despised and ignored, possesses three different tones—the bass

toves of the first octave have some re- semblance to those of the flute and clar- inet; those of the middle and high to the vox humana of some organs; lastly, the barmonica] sounds are exactly like those of the harmonicon. It is conceived that this diversity of tone, quotes The Mirror (1827), affords already a great variety in the execution, which is al- ways looked upon as being fecble and trifling on account of the smallness of the instrument. It was not thought possible to derive much pleasure from any attempt which could be made to conquer the difficulties of so limited an instrument, because, in the extent of three octaves, there were a number of spaces which could not be filled up by the talent of the player. Besides the most ample modulation is impossible. Herr Eulenstein remedied the inconven- ience by joining 16 jew’s harps, which be tunedin his own special way, and so performed his selection by changing the barps with extreme rapidity, al- Ways keeping one harp iu advance, so as not to interrupt the mesure. He be- came so proficient that ze was able to execute with grace and ease, running over four octaves, many quite difficult Italian, French and German pieces. He was induced by the Duke of Gordon in 1828, who was delighted with his per- formances, to tour in Scotland, where the jew’s harp is still rather popular.

Eulenstein also visited the chiei towns of England, and drew crowds 1: tear his nove] entertainment in London. ls is presumed that he returned to his own country about 1832. Since then the Jew’s barp seems to have fallen ito disrepute, und its position ag a serious means of wusical enjcyment is no longer admitted.—Loudon Ssandard.

Ia mast of the tests, therefore, the tassels were removed from every alternate row—pulled out assoou as they appeared —or three rows were etasseled and one Jeft untouched, At tke Cornell station detasseled corn produced a slightly greater yield during the first two years, but the third year there was practically po benefit. In Nebraska, detuaseling resulted in deereased yields. Here the tassels were cut off instead of being pulled owt, aa was the case iz New York. In Maryland the yield was decreased ty the practice. In Kansas the ietasseled flelds produced slightly the most corn. In Illinels, tests were made during two years In both cases it was evident that no greater yield was produced by rows that had been detasagled. [i will be seen, therefore, that the question has by no means been decided, but must be more fully investigated. One thing, however, is certaineeine ordinary farmer cap with profit leave the matter forexperiment station men to deter- mine. There evidertly is not enough heneflt in detasscling for the commercial grower to practice it, and if better seed can he produced let trained investigators prove it.

A Substitation for Ampa ation,

Tis. Reelus is said to have attained re- markebie results fron «a new and simple mode of treatment, which he has intro- duced into France, whereby, it is claim- ed, a large proportion of injured limbs now usntially amputated can be saved. ‘That there is great need for some such method is proved by the fact that almost every one knows of some case in his own experience where a stubborn or strong- willed patient has refused to have a limb atuputated when the doctor has in- sisted that amputation was the only way of saving the life of the sufferer, In not a few of such cases the patient has lived and recovered the use of the injured ‘imb. Dr. Recius, no matter how grave the extent of the lesions may be, never, under any circumstances, amputates the injured limb, but merely wraps it in antiseptic substanocs, but what is really an embalming process, leaving nature to separate the dead from the living tissues. ‘fhis method is not only much Jess liable to be fatal than the ordinary treatment, bnt preserves for the use of the patient, if not the entire limb. atany rate amuch larger part of it than would be left after amputation. He uses hot water freely. Af- ter the skin has been shaven and cleansed from all fatty substances by ether, etc., in the usual way, a jet of hot water, 140 ta 144 degrees Fahrenheit, but not high- er, is made to irrigate all the injured surfaces, and to penetrate the hollows and under all the detached parte of the wonnd without exception. This removes all clots anc micro-organisms The hot water is antiseptic, stanches the flow of biond, and helps to compens.te for the loss of heat from biceding, and especially from the traumatic shock. After the em balming prce:ss, and the dead tissue has been separated from the living, the sur- geon has simply to divide the bone at a suitable spot.
