Nose Bleeding.

free discharge of purulent matter and
even blood from the nose, sometimes at

circumstance already referred to, in which
the "heaters" are so freely used as to
produce an irritation of the membranes
of the nose, mouth, ears, throat, etc., it
will be perfectly natural for the nose to
be sore and inAamed, ready to bleed
from the slightest injury, the blood burst
ing out freely, even when excitement, or
any other cause, sends an unsual amount
of blood to the head. Those who have
an infammatory, or feverish tendency,
whose stomach and throat are infiamed,
will naturally have sores in the nose and
around it, as we'll as behind the ears.
As natural result there will be various
discharges from the nose. If this bleed.

the whole system demands attention. If
it is the result of an accident the bleed
ing will not ordinarily be profuse, but
will stop when the moderate supply is
exhausted. .
When the membrane Of the nose is
tender, irritated and sore, it is we'll to
wet cloth in borax and water and press
it up into the nose as far as possible,
allowing it to remain, repeating this from
day to day. If there are sudden bursts
of blood, some strong alum water may
be syringed into the nose, or 'snuffed
up" stopping it as soon as will be best !;
or the alum may be made into a snuff by
melting and then drying it away till
easily pulverized, taking it as a smut.

Nsr. Clcveland's Five Sisters.

Mrs. Bacon, sister of Governor
Cleveland, is most courteous and
cultivated lady, and is much esteemed
by those who know her, She seemed
much amused with the various ludi-
crous rumors Of her brothers alleged
contemplated marriage, and to quer-
ry OF the reporter as to whether or
not there was any truth in the cur
rent report that Mr.. Cleveland was to
be married, she replied; "The report
is entirely without foundation, as far
as know, and | would probably know
as much about such a step on the
part OF my brother as any other per-
SON."
As to the rumors that widowed
sister would be with Mr.. Cleveland at
the White House she said: "The
plans are not yet matured, But there
are no widowed sisters Besides my
self there are four sisters, all married
save one. The eldest Mrs Hastisgs,
who is at Ceylon, India, and OF course
she is too far away to be considered ;
the next Mrs. Hoyt, of Fayetteville,
Onondaga county, N. Y, near SYRIA
cuse then myself and Mrs. L. 7.
Yeomans, of Walworth, Wayne coun-
ty, N. Y near Rochester. My young
est sister is Miss r. A. Cleveland, who
is now with my brother Her tastes
are purely literary, and since our
mothers death she has had u chance
to crafty lrer taste in that direction
and | surmise she will be for thr most
part with my brother"
Mr.. Bacon has but recently return
ed from Buffalo, and he and Mrs. Ba-
con say that Mr., Cleveland will in all
probability pay them visit at theil
home in this city shortly after his res
ignation as Governor. Mr.. and Mrs
Bacon have many warm friends il
