WHooPING COUGH.
How to Treat This Disease Which Is a
Peculiar Form of bronchitis.

How to Treat This Disease Which rs
Peculiar Form of Bronchitis.
A correspondent writes: "Will you
not give your readers an article on
whooping cough, stating what it is,
and whether there is any known rem
edy.''
The disease is peculiar form Of
bronchitis, attended, in its first stage,
with some fever, and, in the second,
with spasms of the glottis, the vocal
cords in the upper part of the larynx.
It is highly infectious, and since few
children escape If, and it generally de-
stroys ones susceptibility to a second
attack, it is largely confined to child
hood.
At the commencement it resembles a
hard cold, but the acts of coughing are
more violent, and longer. At length
it may be in two or three days, or in as
many weeks-the spasms of the CLOTHS
are developed, and the well-known
whoop settles its real character.
The whoop is due to the fact that it is
impossible to take breath during the
rapid coughing, and hence, on its ceas-
ing, there is long and labored thrush
of air.
Moreover, as the blood can not freely
enter the lungs during the paroxysm,
the impeded blood causes the veins of
the neck to swell out, gives to the face
1ivid look, and sometimes occasions
various acknowledgement the nose,
stomach and lungs. But there is no
danger of the patients dying of suffo-
cation, as is so often feared.
The disease may be quite mild or very
severe. Occasionally the person gets
well in few days without any medical
aid. But generally the disease lasts
six weeks. Sometimes when neglected
it runs on many months. As rule,
the paroxysms gradually become less
severe and frequent, and then cease;
though for time an ordinary cold viii
be attended with whoop.
The most that medicine can do is to
palliate the symptoms and shorten the
duration of the disease. Alum acts
well on the infamed bronchial
tube; belladonna on the irritated nerves
that cause the spasms of the glottis. A
doctor must be consulted for the more
dangerous but efficacious remedies. No
one medicine meets each case, nor any
case in all its symptoms and stages.
The only wise course is to employ an
intelligent physician who can study its
peculiarities and watch its tendencies.
This is the more important since there
is always danger of grave complica-
tions-acute bronchitis, pneumonia,
pleurisy and other lung diseases. 1t is
thus, indirectly, often fatal.
Unless where there is serious compli-
cation, it is best to have the child as
much as possible out of doors. The
diet should be nutritious. This should
be locked after more carefully if the
child vomits much. Food should be
given often, and as early as possible,
before an expected paroxysm.- Youths

Very little his teacher said. She
knew battle was in swift progress.
The forces were there, marshaled IN
battle array. The fists of little Horace
were tighter clinched, his round face
grew redder yet, and longing his eyes
wandered to the inviting water, where
already the merry shouts of the bows
from the other school could be heard.
His teacher was watching clese;
where would the victory come? Pres
emily tears were seen rolling from the
boys eyes, and the hands relaxed their
hold on anger. Not word had been
spoken, but Horace glanced now at the
teacher, and as her eyes met his he
smiled. All, he had won the victory
that time, and in short space of time
his merry voice was heard in shouts of
play, of laughter Yea, verify, greater
is he that ruleth his own spirit, than he
that taketh a city.
But this is not quite the end of
Horace's doing that day. His mother
was a widow, and lived in a small.
cottage at the end of the lane. I think
it was her custom to make quite con-
fident of Horace, talking over matters
freely with him. Some parents take
different course with their chill
dren, but this was Mrs. Denvev's
way, so when the events. general and
particular, of this day came ,ss for dis
cussion, he gave his mother an account
of the swimming expedition which he
did not take. Horace, although but
twelve years of age, as stated, was
nevertheless the oldest pupil by two
years in the school. and being bright
amiable lad, was quite admired and
looked up to" by the younger
scholars.
The next morning, when the teacher
called the pupils together, Horace
placed Eote in her hand. She had not
thought but that it was Mrs. Denver's
written consent for Horace to join the
daily swimmers across the pond. With
scarcely thought she ran her eye down
the page, and in less than ten seconds
found herself glancing or looking
steadily at the joyous, beaming face Of
Horace. The note ran on this wise:
81 have talked the matter over with
Horace, and he has decided (not aUe
you notice, but he has decided) ''since he
is the Oldest pupil in school, he ought to
set good example in this matter of
going to the water, and although / have
given my consent for him to go, he
knows you do not think it best for the
younger ones to do so, therefore he will
not ask to go again, or give further
trouble in the matter"
Not word did the teacher say, none
were needed. Horace understood, the
teacher understood. From that hour
his influence was felt stronger, more
forceful than ever before, and yet not a
single pupil ever knew the contents of
that little note that rested so quietly for
weeks in the teachers pockes.
That act of Horace Denver will never
pass from the teachers memory. The
pupils of that school will never forget
that not one noon hour did he visit
Scott Pond through the many sultry
days of the term.

THE FARMERS "DoN'T."
Some Practical Hints Which are Worth
Reading and Remembering.

Some Practical Hints Which are Worth
Reading and Remembering.
Don't settle down to the belief that
red clover won't grow on the farm. Try
it.
Don't believe that berries and the
larger fruits are not wholesome in the
family, but save health and obtain
pleasure cheaply by planting all that
will grow.
Don't fix the fence partly to-day,
with promise to do it better next week.
That time does not come until damage
to be regretted has been done.
Don't be content with half crop
when little more labor will bring full
one.
Don't try to get something out of
nothing.
Don't wait too much on the weather.
Don't go off dissatisfied because you
don't get rich by farming in year or
two.
Don't discourage your children by
constant complaints about farm busi-
ness.
Don't buy new farm tool until you
you know just how you can pay for it.
Don't go fishing as long as the ak and
hoe need sharpening.
Don't forget that if you waste no time
in attending to them your crops will
grow nights and Sundays.
Don't abolish farms accounts, but
make each cultivated field pay some
thing above expenses annually.
Don't forget that very few acres in
fruit will often pay all the expenses of
an average family.
Don't use ''cuss Words with any ok
pectation of making them mend broken
harness. = Southern CssltsvGtor.

COMPANY MANNERS.

The Little Girl Who Saved Her Best
Manners for Company.
Patty Ellerson had very sweet, po-
lite manners; everybody said so.
If there was q guest staying in the
house, Patty slipped out before break
fast and cut rose to lay on her plate;
if a gentleman called to see her father
on hot day, Patty went off, without
being told, and brought glass of cool
water; when her own little visitors
came, she did everything to make them
have good time, without seeming to
think about herself at all.
All this was very sweet in Patty, and
indeed, she was such an attractive little
girl, that | hate to tell you any 'draw-
backs " about her.
Yet there was a drawback, and as
Patty found it out herself and tried to
cure it, may oe she wouldn't mind my
telling it.
And it was this: Patty saved her best
manners for company! She was not
unkind to her little brothers and sisters,
but am obliged to say she did not
concern herself much about their COM
fort and pleasure.
One summer, Mrs. Palmer, with a
little daughter near Patty's age, came
to board in the village, and Patty and
Rose Palmer became great friends.
Mrs. Palmer wasn't very comfortable
where she was staying, and one day she
walked over to Mrs. Ellerson's, to see
if that lady would take her to board.
She left Rose in the yard to play with
the children, while she and Mrs. Eller-
son sat on the little vine-shaded porch,
and talked it over.
When the arrangement had been
made, and it was settled that Mrs.
Palmer and Rose were to move over the
next week, the children were called up,
that the little friends might enjoy the
prospect of being together.
But, to everybody's surprise, impul-
sive little Rose cried out: 20 mamma !!
/ don't want to live here p
Her mother was distressed that she
should have made what seemed such q
rude speech, but Mrs. Ellerson was very
wise about little girls, and putting a
gentle arm about Rose-who, at the
sight Of her mothers displeasure, had
begun to cry-she asked her kindly,
what was the reason she did not want
to stay with them.
After a moments hesitation, Rose
said simply that Patty was always nice
and kind and pleasant when she came
over to see her, but she noticed
that she was sometimes cross with
Ella, her little sister "And I am
'fraid,' continued Rose, "that if come
to live with her, she will treat me like
she does Ella!"
And now it was poor Patty's time to
cry, and the little girls would have had
sad day if mamma hadn't proposed a
dolls tea-party, and given them some
bread and preserves. That brought
back the sunshine.
Rose and her mother did come to live
at the Ellerson's, but not one cross
word did dear Patty speak to the little
visitor all summer.
More than that, she tried hard not to
be anything but polite to her own little
home people; and / think she succeed
ed, for one day when it was Elias time
to help mother wash the breakfast
things she said, joyously:
Mamma, we do have such good
times, now; Patty treats me just ike
company all the time. Elizabeth p.

"A gardener claims that an effectual

thoroughly, so that it can be reduced to
a powder, which he sprinkles over the
young plants, or when the worm begins
to appear; it will also prevent injury
from the little black feas that some
times infest the plant. Possibly, if the
smart weed was boiled in water, and
that sprinkled on the plants, it would

In gardens farmers usually make
the mistake Of planting tomato plants
on the richest soil and manuring Aeavi-
". They naturally like to see the
young plants making strong, vigor-
Gus growth. With most crops the
stronger growth the better, but too
much vine in the tomato retards ripen-
ing, causes the plant to rot on the
ground, and the fruit will be much less
valuable. Market gardeners have
learned to grow tomatoes on their poor
est land, and, avoiding stable manure,
they ripen earlier and bring much
better price. Farmers can grow to-
matoes on any land that is rich enough
for corn.-C Chicago Times.

AGE OF VEGETABLES.
Vegetables Which Have Been Grown an
Eaten for Centuries.

Vegetables Which Have Been Grown and
Eaten for Centuries.
Most of the species of vegetable we
now cultivate have been grown and
eaten for centuries. Even before the
Christian era many of them were in use.
Lettuce has been used at the table for
thousands of years. Herodotus tells II
that it was served at the royal tables
centuries before the Christian era, and
one of the noble families of Rome de-
rived its name from this plant. Spinach,
asparagus and celery have been culti-
waited and eaten among the Eastern ma
tons for thousands of years. Jesus took
the mustard seed as the exponent of
parable, showing that it was esteemed
among the Jews. Radishes were known
and grown by the Greeks, and were of
fered at Apollo's shrine, wrought in
precious metals. Parsnips were grown
and brought from the Rhine to add to
the luxuries of Tiberius' table. Beets
were most esteemed centuries ago, and
carrots were in such repute in Queen
Elizabeths reign that the ladies of her
court adorned their huge structures of
false hair with their feathering plumes.
Peas at Elizabeth's court were very
rare, and were imported from Holland
as great delicacy. Fruits were also in
great repute among the ancients. The
currant was cultivated centuries ago in
European gardens, and was called the
Corinthian grape. One old writer
speaks of his berries as Corinths, hence
the name of currants. The damson
plum was extensively cultivated at
Damascus, whence its name. The
cherry came from Crosus, city of Pom
tus, and the delicious peach, king
of fruits, was first known in Persia.
The ounce was holy fruit, dedicated
to the goddess of love, and was called
cyndonian apple. Pears are as ancient
as apples, and are mentioned among
the Paradisal fruits. Grapes were
known at very remote period and are
often mentioned in the Bible.-SGr

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is a fact not generally known that the
james Boss Gold Watch Cases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from Al to 10 karats,
and a or 6 karat case is often sold for Il
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy o
watch case so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t IS economy to buy james Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an eyperi-
ment-it has been made nearly thirty years.
