To Relieve Catarrh.

writer in AN exchange gives the fol
lowing eight hints for relieving catarrh
Inhale through the nostrils n strong
solution Of salt i'm water I would adj
wise as strong n solution rs an ounce to
the pint, though some will tolerate more.
In this strength IL is not painful. but
acts a. n tonic and astringcnt. relieving
congestion. and preventing the endos-
mCs2 effect which would accompany the
uye pure water or weaker solutions.
But it Is n mistake TO suppose that salt
water will cure all cases Of oatarrh.
When the condition Is one oi chronic
congestion simply. with acrid secretion,
It may he sufficient; but in the worse
forms, where there is de' p-soated in
tlammation with liberation, more power
fully astringent, ms well as stimulant,
and even escharotic solutions are re-
quisite TO effect a cure.
Inhale the smoke from pine tar. Get
n pint or more of pure pine tar (not the
OLD from n ship chandler; heat n poker
red hot, and stir the tar with It; thick
smoke will rise.
Hold your head over Il, keep your
mouth shut, and inhale through the nos
trils; heat the poker three or four times,
until the room Is filed with smoke, shut
doors and windows. and remain In the
room as long as possible.
II is good plan to smoke mullen In
ones bedroom just before retiring; after
smoking open window from the top:
the smoke slowly escapes. but enough
remains 10 be of some benefit
Mullen leaves should be thoroughly
dried and then used the same as tobacco
in pipe.
The smoke should be pressed 10 tho
back Of the mouth and exhaled through
the nose; once or twice week will suf-
flee, and should be persevercd in.
If properly cured there will not be an
acrid exudation. A little piece Of sponge
IN the bowl of the pipe win prevent the
juices from passing into the mouth.
Mullen will be stronger gathered be-
fore the frost Injuries IL, but will answer
even II dug from under the snow. II
will also be found an excellent remedy
for cold In the head.

Desperate Duel Between Women.

A friehtful duel was fought some years
ago by two girls employed in the royal
tobacco factory in Seville, that factory
in front Of which the first act Of the pop
ular opera, Carmen" Ia supposed 10
eveniuate. The chief actresses in this
Spanish tragedy Of real life were young
girls of twenty. perfect types OF that
Iberian beauty which the painters and
poets love. The day selected for the
fight was n lovely ono in midsummer.
In company with their friends. the enc
mics breakiasted at separate tables In
wine shop a couple of leagues out of the
city. Then they sent their witnesses
out, barred the doors and windows, and
fell upon ono another knife In hand. At
the end Of ten minutes the doors were
forced. Roth girls were groaning on the
floor; one was bleeding 10 death from
ten wounds. the other expiring with her
throat cut Both still gripped their
ensanguined knives with clutches which
even their last agonies could not loosen.
For wonder the authorities took action
on the case. They sent the seconds to
prison for six months, and enacted An
edict against the carrying of knives.
which every one, of course, tisobeyed.

A Big GraneNlnc.

The Stockton (Cal.) HadepciIfent men.
tions an immense vine growing over the
residence Of W. J. Phelps. only n mile
from the city:
The vine was planted nineteen years
ago as a cutting. and is now twelve
inches in diameter at the trunk. A foot
or two above the ground IL divides into
three main branches. each over five
inches in diameter at the base, and from
twenty To forty feet long, spreading
over n large trellis and covering the
whole rear of the house. Ii Is of the
Mission variety. and Is yearly loaded
with grapes. Mr.. Phelps estimates that
he has already picked nj least one ton of
grapes from It. and Mt n fair calculation
II now has not less than ton and
half of grapes still hanging upon 1t.
The leaves have begun TO fall from the
vine. SO that tho immense mass of fruit
with which Il Is laden can be seen to adj
vantage. II Is rare sight 60 behold.
On one side of the house Is another vine
of the same variety. and planted at the
Same time. but as IL was placed on the
north side Of the building, where IL re-
ceived less sunlight. it has not attained
such great size. but II Is. nevertheless,
very large, and would of itself be won
der for the mass Of fruit IL bears If Il
were not compared with its larger com
panion. On the south side of the house
Is vine OF the Black Prince varietd
but seven years old, which has taken
possession of peach tree and fcstooney
all its branches with great masses OF
grapes, not less than half ton In the
aggregate.
