Coughing.

1t is sometimes forgotten that coughs
properly so-called and in their integ-
rity-are c%onvulsive, exploratory efforts
intended to eject from the air cells or
passages of the lungs, or from the
windpipe or larynx, either secretions or
exudations, or occasionally foreign SUBJ
stances, which impede the act ofrespira-
ton. Unfortunately, there is seldom
any constant relation between the
frequency and force of a cough
and the physical need for it.
This is because the act being,
of course, performed by virtue of a
special excitation of the sys-
TEN, the degree of excitability of the
nerves concerned in the production of
the muscular contractions producing
cough determines it's force and fire.
quency, instead of their being gov
erned, as they ought to be, solely by
the e%xigencies of expulsion. More
over, owing to the sympathetic con-
nection of nerves energizing different
groups of muscles and in relation with
different centers, cough may be
produced by e~xcitations which are
not local to the breathing or
gans. Therefore, we find that
cough, which ought to be a very
simple process or functionof a remedial,
or, at least, physically helpful kind, is,
in fact, itself a cause of disturbance
and disease by reason Of excessive and
disorderly character. Very grave mis-
takes are made in practice by treating
cough as q pulmonary affection and in
itself morbid.-LOmdon Lancet.

A SHOCKING MURDER.
An Insane Doctor Kills His Wife, and
Wishes to be Shot or Hanged.

ALTOONA, Pa, April Mrs. L. A.
Beach, wife of a prominent physician, was
discovered in her room this morning with
her head almost severed from her body Cir
cumstances were so suspicious that the doctor
has been arrested. 1t is said that he has al
ready admitted to a member of the family
that he committed the deed. Two large
knives and cleaver, used for amputating
purposes, were found beside his victim.
The coroner's jury found Mrs. Beach came
to her death at the hands of her husband,
and the doctor was sent to jail. He admits
he killed his wife, and wants to be hanged
or shot. He was received into the Lutheran
church yesterday morning and partoolz of the
communion. 1t is generally believed he is
insane. Mrs. Beach was about forty years
of age, had been married twice before, and
her last husband having been shot and killed
by desperate two years ago. The doctor is
German, aged forty-four, and had alucrative
practice. When he gave the alarm, he went
to his brother-in Jaws, and told him he had
murdered his wife. The room shows evidence
of a severe struggle, and the Victims hands
were much hacked by clutching the knife. Her
head was held to the body by about half an
inch Of flesh. The DOCTORS socks and under
clothing were found and bear many blood
stains.

Then Bounced the foreman.

Shortly before 6 o'clock on Saturday after
noon, wire cable, attached to Derrick at
the stone quarry of W. B. Craig 81 Co.,
parted, and one piece about fifty feet long
bestowed particular attention upon one of
the workmen named Nels Bengland. IT
played number Of festive pranks with his
anatomy, carressing his head, caroming
upon his left arm, and encircling his right
leg, in each instance leaving ample token OF
its touch. The services of DR.. Livingston
were brought into requisition, land his wounds
attended to, which are not deemed danger
Gus. 1t has been learned since that the men
consider the accident the fault of the fore
man, and have determined to have him dis
charged.
Yesterday morning the men under this par
ticular foreman to the number of twenty
formed at the quarry and marched in body
to the residence of Mr.. Craig and formally
entered complaint, asserting that they were
not disposed to work longer under him. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Craig very properly
decided to remove the foreman, and the men
returned to work.

changeable silk, white lace and flowers, and
was pronounced lovely, while the groom
looked very happy. After the ceremony at
the church, they returned to the home of the
bride, G. M. Esterbrooks, where an elegant
wedding collation. was served, to which none
but the family relatives were invited. In the
evening the happy couple took the O'Clock

make their home, followed by the best wishes
of the many friends of the bride in this vi
