SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC CATARRH.

1st Or THE HEAD--Heavy, dull, aching over
the eyes, sometimes extending back through
different parts of the head and causing a
weight or heat of GOODNESS on top of the head,
swapping and cracking noise in the ears, dull
ness of hearing, often the secretion collects in
middle ear, closing up the eustaehian tubes,
producing deafness-the lining membrane be-
ing the same from the head through the whole
alimentary canal, and down into the lungs, it
has but to extend itself to affect the whole
system. 1t becomes virulent in the nose some
times, causing a tenderness, or producing Of
fensive breath, discharges of yellowish mat
ter and scabs the shape of the nostrils, or if
the partition bone is only affected, then the
Ischars are fat, and when they discharge,
which is generally after exerton, the nose is
open, the patient breathes more easily and the
head feels more clear--the heaNiness over the
eyes and across the forehead is seldom entire
ly gone, but it is aggravated by every fresh
cold. The offensive disease called OZOENA,
which has now assumed a Tertiary form of
cancer, destroying every thing but the outside
skin, letting the nose sink in, extending to
the throat, destroying the voice, etc, when the
diseaseis called Laryngitis, Trachetis, Bron-

Why and When LAMPS Explode.

All explosions of coal-oil lamps are
caused by the vapor or gas that collects
in the space above the oil. When full
of oil, of course lamp contains no gas,
but Immediately on lighting the lamps,
consumption of oil begins, soon leaving
space for gas, which commences to
form as the lamp warns up, and, after
burning short time, sufficient gas will
accumulate to form an explosion. The
gas in lamp will explode only when
ignited. In this respect it is like gun
powder. Cheap or inferior oil is always
the most dangerous.
The flame is communicated to the gas
in the following manner The wick
tube in all lamp burners is made larger
than the wick which is to pass through
it. It would not do to have the wick
work tightly in the burner; on the con-
trary, it is essential that it move up and
down with perfect ease. In this way
it is unavoidable that space in the tube
is left along the sides of the wick suffi-
cient for the flame from the burner to
pass down into the lamp and explode
the gas.
Many things may occur to cause the
fame to pass down the wick and explode
the lamp.
1. A lamp may be standing on table
or mantel, and slight puff of air from
the open window, or the sudden open
ing of door, cause an explosion.
2. A lamp may be taken up quickly
from table or mantel and Instantly ex-
plode.
3. A lamp is taken into an entry where
there is draft, or out of doors, and an
explosion ensles.
4. A lighted lamp is taken mp fight
of stairs, or is raised quickly to place it
on the mantel, resulting In an explosion.
In all these cases the mischief is done by
the air movement either by suddenly
checking the draft, or forcing air down
the chimney against the flame.
5. Blowing down the chimney to ex-
tinguish the light is frequent cause of
explosion.
6. Lamp explosions have been caused
by using chimney broken off at the top,
OF one that has a piece broken out,
whereby the draft is variable and the
fame unsteady.
7. Sometimes thoughtless person
puts small-sized wick in a larger burner,
thus leaving considerable space along
the edges of the wick.
s. An old burner, with its air drafts
clogged up, which rightfully should be
thrown away, is sometimes continued in
use, and the final result is an explosion.

hearty sympathy and support of the peo-
pie of both nations. Thus far the French
seem to have taken the most interest
| in the undertaking. 1t is time the Ameri-
cans should vie with them in securing its
success. The idea is to have a colossal
statue, representing Liberty enlightening
the world, elevated on little island in
the middle of New York harbor, over
looking the cities of New York, Brook
lyn, and Jersey City. The pedestal, dec
grated with allegories illustrating the
history of the United States, will be
nearly rs feet high. The whole monu-
ment, from the soil to the summit Of the
hand, will attain 200 feet. The first
model is ready and accepted. The work
is to be performed by the celebrated
sculptor, August Bartholdi
Mrs. RENK, of New York city, has
realized how sharper than a serpent's
tooth it is to have thankless child. Two
of her boys, aged respectively II and Is
years, committeda burglary some months
ago and fed from home, since which
time nothing had been heard of them
until few nights ago, when they broke
into the house, pulled their pistols and
dirk knives and drove their brothers into
a room, where they locked them in. The
young scoundrels then seized their old
mother, and while one held her and
pointed a loaded pistol at her head, the
other robbed her of her pocket-book, a
gold watch, locket and chain. They
then threatened to kill her and their
brothers if they attempted to prevent
them from making their escape.

The Song of the Shirt.

An anecdote, which Mark Lemon loved
to tell, related to the period when Tom
Hood became contributor to Punch.
Looking over his letters one morning,
he opened an envelope inclosing poem
which the writer said had been rejected
by three contemporaries. IF not thought
available for Punch, he begged the edi-
tor, whom he knew but slightly, to con-
sign it to the waste-paper basket, as the
author was "sick at the sight of it. F"
The poem was signed "Tom Hood, " and
the lines were entitled The Song of the
Shirt" The work was altogether differ
ent from anything that had ever appeared
in Punch, and was considered SO much
out of keeping with the spirit of the pc
riodical that at the weekly meeting its
publication was opposed by several
members of the staff. Mark Lemon was
so firmly impressed, not only with the
beauty of the work, but with its suita-
bility for the paper, that he stood by his
first decision and published it. By
letter written by Tom Hood to Mark
Lemon, which we have for the moment
mislaid, it appears that the question OF
illustrating the poem was entertained
and discussed. The lines, however, were.
published without illustration, except
that humorous border of grotesque fig
ures which made up "Punch's Process
sion on Dec. Is, 1843. "The Song OF
the Shirt !" trebled the sale of the paper
and created profound sensation
throughout Great Britain.

with us rather than with Europe, and
we should encourage this by every rea-
sonable effort. New York, Baltimore
and New Orleans will be wonderfully
benefited by the transfer to them of a
large portion of the trade which now
goes to Liverpool and London, while
our merchant marine will be assisted
with portion of the carrying trade. It
only requires little tact and enterprise
to bring this about. Our iron and cot
ton manufactures are now sharp competi-
tors, in point of price and quality, with
those produced in England, while we
can furnish coal and agricultural products
at much lower rate than any other coun-
try.
If the Brazilian Emperor meets with
a cordial reception on his arrival here it
will be an admirable card for our mer-
chants, and result in attracting the
Brazilian peoples attention to this coun-
try, which bears the same relation to the
Northern Continent that they do to the
Southern. He deserves it for himself,
for he has proved himself a liberal, con-
scientious monarch, as far removed from
despot as monarch well can be. His
imperial title is almost honorary he has
less real power, perhaps, than any con-
stitutional monarch in the world. --NeaO

The Little People of the Sea.

The latest Investigations into deep-sea
life show that the vast area lying be-
meath the ocean is covered with simple
animal life, boundless In extent and inf
mite in variety. Under conditions too
rigid and severe to permit the growth OF
the humblest sea-weed, these creatures
live, and multiply, and die. Far beyond
the reach Of light, in glacial tempera-
ture and under enormous pressure, exists
this wonderful fauna. AS we strip the
mystery of vitality, of garment after gar
ment, as its conditions become fewer and
it's mode of existence less complex, the
wonder, instead of becoming less, con-
stantly grows upon the mind. The hui
man intellect longs to find a commensu-
rate physical cause for the effect which
we call life. When, as in the higher or
ganic beings, the conditions are many
and the processes are complicated, the
phenomenon of vitality does not seem so
puzzling; antecedent seems to bear
some sort of proportion to consequent.
The mind rarely troubles itself to make
nice distinctions between complicated
machinery and motive power. A liberal
display of wheel-work is adequate to &C
count for results without any reference
to the initial force. But as we contem-
plate the life of the protocol, which
reign supreme in the oceans depths, we
see the awful and mysterious problem
presented in its simplest terms forms of
existence which are formless, organisms
possessing no organs, life contradicting
the very definitions of life and yet per-
forming all its essential functions. The
conditions, complex and multitudinous,
under which we live, are here reduced to
two or three the elements, many and
bewildering, which enter into the ordi-
nary statement of the problem, are here
| eliminated, and yet we are forced to re-
cognize the same vital principle giving
| functional activity to mass of structure
less Jelly which animates the highest or
ganic beings.
When we see this formless life govern
ed by laws, each in itself as memorable
as that which guides the rolling planets,
and all in their various combinations as
fexile as those which control our hui
man existence, we feel the sense of awe
which a whisper from the unseen world
might send thrilling through our nerves.
We are standing face to face with life
stripped Of it's familiar conditions. It
looks us in the eyes as the disembodied
ghost of the life now so familiar to u.s.

The visit to the United States of the
Emperor of Brazil, Dom Pedro IL, is a
matter of much Importance CONNER
cially, if the good results follow from it
that we are led to expect. Brazil is the
most important part of South America.
In territory she is but little inferior to
the United States, and her resources are
as magnificent as her territorial dimen-
sions. 1t is very desirable that we estab-
lish close commercial relations with her
as she offers a splendid market for our
manufactures and agricultural products,
while she produces much that we must
buy abroad. There is a disposition on
the part of Brazilians to prefer to trade

A Horrible Tragedy.

One OF the most horrible, cOld-blOOd-
ed, startling murders that ever happened
in the State was perpetrated last night
near Greentown, Howard county. The
Coroner was notified of the affair about
o'clock this morning, and is now pres
ent holding an inquest. The particulars
of the affair are as yet very meager, but
as near as we can learn are as follows
David Robinson came to town yesterday
and bought new suit Of clothes and
revolver. He went home, showed the
purchases to his family, and ate his sup
per. His brother and another man were
at his house, and Robinson seemed to
want them to leave. and finally persuaded
them to go to church. Robinson went home
in good humor, and appeared perfectly
sane. Some time after the men had left,
Robinson remarked to his wife that it
would have been well If little Dan, his
son, had died two weeks ago, and said
he had attempted to kill the child. He
then drew his revolver and fired at a
second son, who was lying in bed, and
then shot at his wife. Terrified and
crazed with fright, Mrs. Robinson
ran out of the house, and the eldest boy,
s years of age, started to follow. Rob
inSOn shot him In the face, but the ball
| glanced and failed to hurt him badly.
The father then struck him in the back
of the head with a chair, and made a
bad wound, but the son succeeded in
getting out Of doors with his mother.
Robinson then deliberately took razor
from a box near him, and approached
his little girl, his only daughter, who
was lying in bed, and, selling her, cut
| her throat from ear to ear. He followed
this murder by taking the life of the
son whom he had first shot in bed in
the same manner. Robinson then jumped
on his horse, and, up to the time of this
writing, has not been hunted down.
LATER. This morning horse was
found hitched at the junction with no
claimer. Robinson got on to one of the
night freight trains on the l., p. and G..
r. r., unknown to any one IN Kokomo,
and the dead body of man was found
one mile from jackson Station, and was
identified as that of David Robinson,
who committed the terrible deed last
night. It is unknown how he met his
fate, but it is supposed he either fell off
or jumped off the freight car and metin-
slant death. -Kokomso (laad.) Tribune.

The Southern Pacific Railroad.

The press, politicians and business
men of the Southern States are getting
worked up to good deal of interest in
the speedy construction of their pro-
posed railroad through Texas to the Pa
cific coast, and their demand for govern
ment assistance to it threatens now to be
pressed with constantly increasing power
until, In some shape or other, it is grant
ed. The case is thus compactly and Wig
orously put by Mr.. Frank S. Bond, the
able Vice-P President of the road, into
whose hands the practical management
of the enterprise has been placed.
The question of a Southern Pacific
road is very simple proposition. 1t Is
simply whether twelve Southern States,
with population of II, 500, 900, and an
area of 789, 1915 square miles, with 49,
6O2 miles of railroad in operation, rep
resenting capital account of 1923, 500,
223, shall have direct connection with
Mexico and the Pacific coast, and shall
be permitted to enjoy the advantages
that her natural position viii insure to
her with such a connection !; and it lis for
Southern Senators and members of the
next House to say whether or not the
advantages of the Texas and Pacific rail-
way line to the Pacific Ocean shall be
open to their constituents within the
next four years. They have only to say
they want it, and there are enough
Northern votes to give it them as an act
of simple justice to the South. But it
viii never be forced upon them against
their wishes.

OleNmargarine.

Oleomargarine is an artificial butter
that is extensively used in Europe, and
much of it finds it's way into the New
York market. The process of making 1T
was first discovered by French chemist
during the Prussian war and was
patented. The process is substantially
as follows s 81
. 1t is made principally from fat taken
from beeves. This fat is put into cold
water, thoroughly washed, and the ami
NAL heat taken from it. After this it is
cut into fine pieces with knife and run
through a perforated plate, which pull
yerizes it. The fat is then placed in the
rendering kettles and slowly heated until
the oil and stearine are separated from
the membranes. The oil and stearine
are drawn off into coolers, and when IN
q proper consistency for pressing, put
into bags OF two or three pounds each.
These bags are then placed into a power
full press-200 tons power-and the oil
is separated from the stearine, the latter
remaining in the bags. The oil with
one-third as much milk, is then churned
into butter, which is afterward worked,
sailed and packed In the same manner
as the ordinary article. From every 100
pounds of fat, SIS pounds of oleomargarine
and 25 pounds of stearine are obtained.
There is now in operation in Brooklyn
large factory that yields a large amount
of the oleomargarine that is sold at q
large profit, and is eaten by the hotel
guests as the genuine article. There is
also large factory in Charlestown,
Mass, which turns out large quantity
of this article and meets with ready
sale.
