War is now actually before us, although we can scarcely realize the truth. It seems but asa dream; but nay, the cannon has already belched forth in thunderous tones! The guns of Morra Castle have already lit up the horizon, They have sent their wordless challenge, and the boys in blue will wade through scarlet mire in the streets of Havanna rather than suffer a single inch of old glory to be bedimmed by even temporary defeat.

They had organised a club like mother's, they said. The mothers led and said, 'what a place tow is to raise boys, anyhow.

Served the boys right. They might have known the difference between a baymow and a parlor, and between a two-dollar and a fifty-cent prize." dit Whit Sunday on May 39th.

A standard medical authority says that the first thing to do for the child is to put his feet into as hot mustard water as he can bear and be sure that the room is very warm, If possible, put him into a hot bath and then, quickly drying him, put him to bed between blankets. Even before putting him in bed give him sprup of ipecac in teaspoonful doses until he vomits. For external applications 2 tal spoonfuls of turpentine and 4 tablespoonful of goose oil or sweet oil or lard oil, mix well and rub thoroughly on the outside of the throat. Saturate a flannel and lay it over the chest and throat.

Hot bricks or bottles filled with hot water should be placed at the child's feet and at the sides of his body to induce perspiration. Keep him carefully covered. After the vomiting the bowels be kept open with sirup of squills. The best drink for the child is slippery elm water. Give plenty of nourishment to keep up the strength.
