Choking arises from food, or fluid or
other substances sticking in the thrsat or
passing into the air passages. In bad
choking, where the patient suddenly turns
dark in the face, Sc., no time is to be lost.
Open the mouth and push your forefinger
in a determined way over the tongue,
right back, and try to hook away or push
aside the hindrance. If this docs not suc
ceed yu may, by pressing the hinder
portion of the tongue, bring on vomiting,
and so secure relief. A good plan is
sometin es tried with children, viz., that
of pressing the chest and stomach agains t
something hard, as a table or a chair, then
slapping or thumping the back between
the shoulder blades. In this way air is
driven from the lungs through the wind
pipe sc forcibly sa oftento expel tWe ob
stacle. When the obstruction consists of
a coin, at. often in the case of children, a
good plan is at once to 'ake the child up
by the heels, and at the same time give it
a shake or slap its back. Fish bones can
sometimes be got rid of by swallowing a
mouthful of bread. If thece remedies fail,
medical help should at once be called in.

settlers, and the others, respectively, to
the different nationalities of Europe sup
plying immigrants to the Argentine
Republic.
There is a large and growing class of
people in our cities and towns who will
have fine, freshly made aromatic butter on
their tables, regardless f cost. If poor
butter was offered at ten cents per pound,
they would prefer paying fifty cents for
butter suited to their tastes. Every dairy
' man should determine to cater to the
tastes of those who demand the best but
ter, and who are willing to pay fjr It.
There is never any surplus f the choice
makes of butter.
Mrs. Henrietta Snell of Chicago is to
erect in Union park in that city, a fine
memorial to her husband, the millionaire,
whose death is supposed to have been the
work of Burglar Tascott's pistol. At a
meeting of the Park board $25,000 was
offered by Mrs. Snell and accepted to
build a Homanepque structure which will
serve as a shelter, a drinking fountain, a
clock tower and a support for electric
Hght3. The tower is to be constructed of
granite and gray sandstone.

Says a literary gossip: "I chanced to see a
few days ago a letter written by one of our
large publishing houses, addressed to Jay
Gould, in which the offer was made of $50,000
cash and a royalty of 40 per cent, on all copies
that would be sold of the w ork, for a volume
of reminiscences to be written by the noted
financier. I say 'written' I should have said
'dictated,' for the use of a competent stenog
rapher was included in the offer. But a pro.
position involving $50,000 is probably a very
insignificant matter in MrGould's eyes, and
he has not as yet even ventured a reply to the
letter."
