Ths philosophy Of sneezing.

a sneeze always indicates that there is
something wrong. 1t does not occur in
health unless some foreign agent irritates
the membranes or nasal passages, upon
which the nervous filaments are distribu-
ted. In case Of cold, or what is termed in
Anenza, these are unduly excitable, and
hence the repeated sneezings with them
occur. The nose receives three sets of
nerves the nerves Of smell, those of feel
ing, and those of motion. The former COM
municate to the brain the odorous proper
ties of substance, with which they come
into contact, in diffused or concentrated
state; the second communicate the in
pressions of touch the third move the
muscles of the nose-but the power Of
these muscles is very limited. When q
sneeze occurs, all these faculties are excl
ted in high degree. A grain of snuff
excites the olfactory nerves, which des-
patch to the brain the intelligence that
"Snuff has attacked the nostril % The
brain instantly sends a mandate through
the motter nerves to the muscles, saying,
Cast it out |" and the result is unmlsta-
kable. So offensive is the enemy besieg-
ing the nostril held to be, that the nose is
not left to. its own defence.
1t were too feeble to accomplish this.
An allied army Of muscles join the res
cue nearly one-half of the body arouseS
against the intruder, from the muscle of
the lips to those of the abdomen; all unite
in the effort for the expulsion of the grain
of snuff Let us consider what occurs in
this instantaneous operation. The lung
becomes fully inflated, the abdominal or
gans are pressed downwards, and the veil
of the palate drops down to form bar
rier to the escape of air through the
mouth, and now sill the muscles which
have relaxed for the purpose contract
simultaneously, and force the compressed
air from the lungs in torrent out through
the nasal passages, with the benevolent
determination to sweep away the particle
of snuff which has been causing irritation
therein. Such, then, is the complicated
action of sneeze and if the first effort
does not succeed, then follows a second,
a third, and fourth; and not until VIC
tory is achieved do the army of defenders
dissolve their compact, and settle down
into the enjoyment of peace and quietude.
This extract is from the Journal of
Medical Reform, says Mr.. Littell of the
Living Age. published in New York.

JGREAT DISCOVERY OF THE ACE
IMPORTANT TO
TOBACCO CHEWERS!
DR. GUSTAV LINNARD'S
Taste Restorative Tr0cheS,

The Great Substitute for Tobacco.
1t is a well known and incOntrovertable fact
that the use of Tobacco is the promoting cause
of many Of the most severe
Mental and Physical Disorders,
to which the race of man is subject, as careful
analysis and long and painful experience have
clearly proven that it contains certain narcotic
and poisonous properties most dangerous in their
effects, which by entering into the blood, de-
range the functions and operations of the heart,
causing many to suppose that organ to be seri-
Ously diseased.
Tobacco affects also the entire nervous sys-
ten, manifestins itself-as all who have ever
used the noxious weed will bear testimony-in
Lassitude, Nervous IFritability, Water Rrash,
Dyspepsia, and many disorders of similar
character.
The Taste Restorative TrOehes
are designed to counteract these baneful inhu-
ences, and have proven completely successful in
in a multitude OF cases, and wherever used
Being harmless in themselves, they exert ben
e6cial effect upon the entire system, restoring
the Taste which has become vitiated or destroy
ed by great indulgence, completely removing the
irritation and the accompanying tickling sensa-
ton of the Throat-which are always cOnse-
quent upon abstaining from the use of Tobac
co, and by giving healthy tone to the Stom-
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches Immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobac-
co Chewing.
These TrOches or Lozenges are put up in q
convenient and portable form at the low price
of so cents per Box. A liberal discount to the
Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned, to whom
all orders should be addressed.

The Holy LANcE.-The lance which
opened the side of our Divine Saviour is
now kept at Rome, but has no point
Andrew of Crete, who lived in the, sew
enth century, says it was buried together
with the cross, and St. Gregory of Tours
and Venerable Bede testify that in their
time it was kept at Jerusalem. For fear
of the Ssracens, it was buried privately
at Antioch, in which city it was after
ward found, and wrought many miracles,
as Robert the Monk and many eye wit
nesses testify. 1t was first carried to Je-
rusalem, and then to Constantinople, and
at the time the city was taken by the
Latins, Baldwin ii sent the point of it to
Venice, as pledge for a loan of money.
st. Louis, King of France, redeemed it
by paying the sum for which it was
pledged, and had it conveyed to Paris,
where it is still kept in the Holy Chapel.
The rest of the lance remained at Con-
stantinople, after the Turks had taken
that city. to the year 1892, when the
Sultan Bajzet sent it by an ambassador,
in beautiful case. to Pope Innocent
VIII, adding that the point was in the
possession of the King of France.

singular case of resuscitation after sup

A child had to all appearances died,
and was laid out in its little winding sheet

the other preparations were going forward
for the funeral. The sexton was notified
and the grave was dug. Some time af-
ter, the father went into the room where
the child was, and was astounded at its
calling "Pa." and complaining that it
did not lie good. OF course the little
sufferer was supplied with better bed at
once. 1t had evidently fallen into a
trance, from which it was awakened by a
hard bed and cold air.

The POODLE DoG.-Tae poodle is re-
nowned for its intelligence and attachment
to man. In the peninsular war, French
officer was killed and left upon the field
of battle. His dog, which belonged to
the poodle variety, would not leave his
masters body, notwithstanding the at
tempts made to induce him to follow the
regiment. After the action, some soldiers
crossing the field of battle, perceived the
cross of the Legion Of Honor on the breast
of the dead officer. They wished to take
possession of it, but the faithful animal
opposed vigorous resistance, and de-
Tended the precious relic, till a bayonet
was driven through his heart, and he died,
covering the object of his solicitude with
his body. A French boot black had a
poodle so trained, that he would cover
his paws with mud, and then splash the
boots of the passers by, so that they were
compelled to have recourse to his masters
services. This fact is well authenticated.
