Excursion Cars for the Centennial
(Frcra the Harrisburg Patriot)


We learn that the Cumberland Valley
Railroad is about having constructed a
number Of passenger cars in which seats
will be numbered, and overhead there
will be receptacle provided with; lock
and keyfor the baggage of the seat holder.
The excursionist buys ticket and with
it he receives key with check at
tached, and on the check he finds num-
Der stamped corresponding with the num-
Der of the seat to which he is entitled
He will ind the key to unlock the closet
over his seat-but not the closet over
any other seat. When he reaches Phila-
delphia he can lock up as much of his
baggage rs he chooses and sally forth
The train will be run upon a siding con-
venient to the centennial grounds. At
any time the eIcursionlst desires he can
walk over to the train, unlock his closet
and take out or put in anything he
chooses. He may even put his lunch
there. At night on the way home the
check and key are taken up with the re
turn ticket. The passenger is thus put
at no inconvenience, but ON the otheuband
is supplied with accommodation almost
unknown to railway travellers at the pre-
sent time.

A young gentleman Of this vicinity
being troubled with weak eyes recently
felt conslraiaed to purchase and wear a
pair OF goggles to protect bis eyes from
the effects of too intense q light. In
spite Of this precau:ion, the condition
OF his eyes, instead Of improving, grew
daily worse and worse. The personal
habits Of the young man we're not
fashioned after the requirements Of the
code which the good templars prescribe,
and there we're not wanting among bis

who offered unpleasant suggestions.
They intimated that too much 'ege
water" was counteraeting the effects of
the goggles; but he repudisted their in
situations with scorn, and determined to
eell in a physician.
The physician, a gentleman OF the Old
School, trained 10 call q spade spade,

The Means of checking Coughing,
SneeEinK, Etc

There are many facts which show that
morbid phenomena of respiration can be
also stopped by the influence of arrest
Coughing for instance, can be stopped
by pressing on the nerves Of the lip in
the Leighborhood OF the nose; A pres
sure there may prevent cough when it
is beginning Sneezing may be stopped
by the same mechanism. Pressing also
in the neighborhood Of the ear, right in
front Of the ear, may stop coughing 1t
is so also of hiccough. but much less so
for sneezing or coughing. Pressing very
hard on the top Of the mouth inside is
also a means Of stopping coughing.
And | may say that the will has i'm
mense power there. There was French
soldier who used to say, whenever he en-
tered the wards Of bis hospital. +" The
first patient who coughs here will be de-
priyed. of food today 1t was exceed
ingly rare that patient noughed then.
There are maHy other affections asso-
ciated with the breathing which can be
stopped by the same mechanism that
stops the hearts action In spasm of
the glottis, which is terrible thing in
children, as you we'll know, as it some
times causes death, and alse in whoop-
ing cough, it is possible to afford relief
by throwing Geld water on the face, or by
t;ckling the soles of the feet, which pro-
duces laughter and at the same time
goes to the gray matter that is producing
the spasm and arrests it almost at once,
I would not cay that these means are al
ways successIul | would not say that
we can always prevent cough by our
will; but in many instances those things
are possible, and if YOU remember that
Ia BRONCHITIS and pneumonia, or any
other acute affection Of the lungs, hack.
ing or coughing greatly increases the
trouble at times, you can easily see how
important it is for the patient to try to
avoid coughing as best he can.--Dr.

cidental to the peice, very much as the
circus scene is introduced in the play OF
"Old Curiosity Shop" Just before the
appearance of the acrobats, China
man rushes down stairs to inform those
on the street that the tumbling is about
to begin, and there is rush directly
from below. Amid tremendous de-
monstration on the part of the orcbes-
ira the tumbling begins. A gigantic
ChInaman comes out dressed in a gro
tesque costume in which every ki.own
color is blended. He goes through a
number Of hourishes and bows, which
cause the unsophisticated portion Of the
audience to entertain the belief that he
is star performer Such, however, is
not the tact, as the man is only figure
head. At last numberof athletic Mon
golians appear, stripped to the waist,
and begin sort of combat upon the
stage. At first the fighting appears to
be promiscuous, but six or eight finally
ally themselves against one man and try
to overcome him by springiHg against
him and striking him full in the breast
with the soles of their feet He meets
this curious mode of attack by standing
like statue, while the others fall heavily
upon the. floor. A number of tables are
next brought out and piled one above the
other until a height OF about 20 feet is
attained. A performer, whose weight is
no less than l50 pounds, mounts them,
and, springing in the air toward the floor
and the stage, strikes both feet with a
heavy thud upon the bare breast OF
man standing about ten feet from the
foot OF the tables, throwing him violently
to the floor. How a man can sustain
such a blow is mystery. Again the
agile acrobat ascends to the top table,
and springing upward turns somersault,
while albthe tables except the lower one
are suddenly taken away. Upon the
only table left he falls with force ap-
parently great enough to break every
bone in his body; but he leaps up again
Immediately and turns back handsprings
across the stage. Again he climbs to
the tops of the tower of tables, while
second lies down upon table few feet
from the base of the tower. Turning
somersault in mid.air he falls upon the
other body, the two breast to breast, and
bounds off again with second somer-
sault. Other acrobats climbed to vari-
GUS attitudes aud fell upon the stage,
alighting square upon their backs with
force which was astonishing. These feats
are all executed by men in a semi nude
condition, so that there is no chance for
padding their clothes. While the Amer
leans in the theater applaud the Chinese
make no demonstration of approval, but
sit looking stolidly on. The manager
informed the Call reporter that the tum.
blerS are trained from childhood, and
become habituated to the terrible con-
cusSons only by years Of practice. He
added that many are killed in training,
or manned for life. The reporter was
allowed to examine the acrobats, and
found the muscles Of their backs and
breasts IS hard as wood to the touch
None Of their feats are graceful but
simply indicating tremendous amount
OF nerve and endurance.
