Concerning Pneumonia.

This fearful disease continues its
ravages, and, indeed, is so fatal that it
brings greater loss to life-insurance
companies than any other ailment. For
this reason every one should be careful
of exposure, and when az unfavorable
symptoms occur the g Use should re-
ceive immediate attenti-A. Pneumonia
alwas beg ms with chill, and this is
sufficient warning. The treatment of
such cases is liked by well-establshed
rules, and as it is not my purpose to
meddl W th medical matters, | shall
not enter into squistion on the sub
Ject. l Will mention, however, that
there is physician in this city whose
success in pneumonia is so great that |
asked him for his mode of treatment.
His reply was as follows: A cold wet
pack is applied to the chest and re-
newed every hour or two. for two,
three or four days, according to the
degree of Inflammation. 1t is to be fol-
lowed by hot poultice. BY ''wet pack"
is meant wet towel folded and covered
by a dry towel. 1t is modified poul-
tice, yet it acts differently from an or
binary poultce. The patient is al
lowed all the water or ice that NAV
be asked for! From four to eight ia
blespoonsful of milk or rich broth every
two hours after first day. From tea
spoonful to a tablespoonful OF whisky
in water or milk every one, two or three
hours, beginning on the second day and
continuing as long as the fever lasts.
The teaspoonful is for infants and chill
dren. If there be delrium the need of
whisky is the more urgent. Two doses
of quin,ne may be given daily-from
five to ten grains each-and the bowels
should not be allowed to constipate
The physician who gave me the above
directions had seven cases last week, and
all recovered. One was an infant. He
says, however, that his success was in a
great degree due to his thorough
knowledge of the disease and long ex-
perence in it's treatment. Written di-
rectons can not supply the lack of these,
but still the above is offered for the ben
eft of all who may be interested in so
important subject.--M. Y. Cor. Troy

The Prairie Farmer truly remarks
that little forethought on a farm is a
good thing. 1t saves time, money, and
much of the veXation that is liable to
come without it. Like the Waterman

be looking ahead. He must be quick
in his jud ment of what should be done
at the present time, and he should have
good perception to show him the best
thing to do in the future.

Bean-POles and Pea Brush.

If those varieties of peas and beans are
grown which require support the poles
and brush can often be saved when cut
ting the year supply of firewood, with
out any extra labor except to throw
them ope side by themselves. But to
take day in the busy season to hunt
up and gather together supply will
quite often cost enough to destroy all
the profit that might have been made by
growing these prolific varieties. When
the bean-poles are drawn home they
should be sharpened all ready to use.
Pea brush will be in the best shape to
set if they are piled in lunch, laying
the butts all one way, and then weighing
heavily with old rails or other tim er.
Where white birches are plenty the tops
make excellent supports for peas, as the
numerous fine twigs are easily found by
the little tendrils OF the vines. If beam
poles are to Q used more than one year
they should be cut in midsummer when
in full leaf. Most farmers, however,
prefer new poles, as it is common be-
lief that vines cling to them better than
TO old poles. Whether this be true or
not it will often be cheaper getting new
poles in winter, every year. when cut
ting the family supply OF fuel, than to
cut them in summer and then keep
them housed when not in use, as they
must be to last many years.-NeW En-

"THE THIRD House."
It's Good and Bad Members-The Remark
able Experiences of a Close Observer
of Its Workings During
Long Residence at
Washington.

Correspondence Rochester Democracy
No city upon the American continent has
larger floating population than Washing
ton. 1t is estimated that during the ses-
sions of Congress twenty-five thousand
people, whose homes are in various parts
of this and other countries. make this city
their place of residence. Some come here,
attracted by the advantages the city offers
for making the acquaintance of public
men; others have various claims which
they wish to present, while the great ma
jority gather here, as the crows flock to
the carrion, for the sole purpose of getting
morsel at the public CRIB. The latter
class, as a general thing, originate the
many schemes which terminate in vicious
bills, alPof which are either directed at
the public treasury, or toward that reve-
nue. which the blackmailing of corpora.
tions or private enterprises may bring.
While walking down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. the other day l met Mr.. William M.
Ashley formerly of your city, whose long
residence here has made him unusually
well acquainted with the operations of the
lobby.
Having made my wants in this particu.
lar direction known, in answer to an in
terTogative, Mr.. Ashley said:
Eyes, during my residence here l have

of the Third House, as it is termed, and

"Not necessarily so; there are good and
bad men comprising that body; yet there
have been times when it must be admitted
that the combined power of the third
House has overridden the will of the peo-
pie. The bad influence of the lobby can be
seen in the numerous blood-bills that are
introduced at every session."
"But how can these be discovered?o
"Easily enough, to the person who has
made the thing study. can detect them
at glance"
"Tell me, to what bill do you referW

stance. They are introduced for the pur-
pose of bleeding the Washington Gas
Light Company. They usually result in
an investigating committee which never
amounts to anything more than a draft
upon the public treasury for the expenses
of the investigation. Another squeeze is
the dbdttoir bills, as they are called.
These, OF course, are fought by the butch
ers and market-men. The first attempt 30
force a bill of this description was in 1877,
when a prominent Washington politician
offered fabulous sum for the franchise"
