The relative efficiency of labor in the
cotton mills throughout the world can
beacon by reference to the amount of
cotton which dillcrent workmen will
consume per year. In India the average
is 3,451 pounds per operative. in ling—
land. 2.914 pounds. in (icrmany 1.200 to
1,500 pounds. and in the l‘nited States
4.350 pounds. The cost of gathering
and planting the cotton crop is computed
to be $113.450.Utl0. or thirty-six per
cent. of its gross value at nine cents per

‘Vhooping cough has three distinct
stages. and the treatment indicated varies
in each: 1. The preliminary state. 2.
The acute stage. 3. The stage of con‘
valcscence.’
At first then, the symptoms will be
those of a common cold of more or less
severity. This is the time to call in a doc
for if there be whooping cough about.
and more especially if the child has been
exposed to infection.
Keep the patient in a quiet. clean.
warm. wcll~ventilated room. and on a
lower scale of diet than usual. Do not
force food. There is far too much of
this food-forcing going on in nurseries.
.under the impression that the strength
must be kept up: but if there be no ap-
petite. there will be no power of digest-
ing what is swallowed. and matters are
made worse. and oftentimes the door is
thu. Opened for the most dangerous
complication to walk in.
See that the child is warmly clothed.
and kept warm at night. and the chest
covered with a. piece of cotton wool.
with oicl silk over it. If there to whee-
ringustimtrlating linimrnt should be
well rubbed in. and frequently. to both
back and front of the chest. and front of
the neck. A morsel of flannel should
also be worn round the neck.
The diet should be low and easily di—
gested. and sweating should be encour-
aged at night.
Scme easily taken aperient will also do
good salts and aznna. castor oil. or
syrup of scans; the first is the best.
Those who live far away from a medi-
cal man should know and remember in
all cases of bad cough. when the ch‘ at
is choked with phlegm. and there isthus 3
much difficulty in breathing. a vnmit of
mustard in warm water.
Bathing the feet in hot water will also
do good at this stage.

The Biggest Medical Pee on Record.
We complain now a days of docturs‘
fees.but ye who think that doctors
charge too much. read this story of a
very ancient doctor: l
The daughters of I‘r-rtizs. King of
Argos. were sick; they fancied they
\vcrc turnei into cows. Melampuaa
shepherd. had observed that when his
sheep ate licllebore. they were violently
purged. It occurred to him to seal
the king. 3'. as others say. he sent the
hellebore itself to them. Bu: which~
ever way it was. Melampns succeeded in
curing the king‘s daughters of their
madness. After waitingnproper time
he sent in his bill: '

Received Payment.
After much and anxious delit‘eration.
the terms were agreed to. but the ava»
l'lt‘lO'dS doctor then demanded another
tirizd for his brother Bias. This was
thought a little exorbitant. but was
finally paid. History does not inform
- us whether sickness was common in the
king‘s family.——lliu 1.- .rr‘s‘s .Y-rJ-yeb
