Cocaine N Hay Fever.

The th%erapeutical uses of cocaine arc
so numerous that the value OF this won
derful remedy seems only beginning to
be appreciated. Almost daily we hear
of some disease or combination of symp-
tons in which it has been tried for the
first time and has answered leyond ex-
pectation. 1t appears strange that so
intractable a complaint n hay-fe en- or
should | e amenable TO its in iuence, and
yet such Is the case.
The account given by Mr.. Watson OF
the Westminster hospital OF his su err
ings and subse ent cure by tahloids Of
cocaine. is too circumstantial TO admit
OF doubt. ever had we not received con
rmatory evidence from many sources.
II has been OBJ ected on theoretical
grounds that cocaine must of neces sity
be imperative. or NJ all events of com
parstiyrly little use, in those cases in
which symptoms OF m asthmatic type
prevail. C~uriously enough, however,
IL has been shown that cocaine, when
applied TO the mucous membrane of the
no trils, has the power Of allaying even

The armadillos are the mail clad war
riors of nature. and the most completely
armored of the whole odd family of
armadillos is a beautifully ornamented
little fellow called by the nsturalists
olypentes. and by tho BrazIlians boil
tia. ''Bolita' means little ball, . and
the armadillo was so named because it
has the power of rolling itself up into
the shape of a ball. Its various shields
are so arranged that when the bolita
rolls itself up it makes a perfect ball or
hard shell.
A traveller in Brazil tells of watching
some little children at play tossing a
large ball, about the 81 o Of n foot ball.
When they were tired of the game they
threw the ball on the ground, and TO his
surprise il turned into an animal and
ran hastily away. II was n of these
little armadillos
Tho same traveller says that he has
seen these animated bal 5 used by a lit
tie child in playing with Il kitten The
game may have annoyed the boiita, but
It could not have eAused 1t any in ury
because Of the perfect protection af-
forded by its armor.

that the guano that has settled at thu

that it Is Il species of volcanic dust

lady students in an eastern college

refined features. and a general express

wife have also tried the eject OF the
composite plan. The couple referred to
engage in about the usual amount OF
domestic warfare. but didn't suppose
the photo raph would bring out the
TACT alarmingly. They sat together and
awaited with Interest the production of
the two faces blended In one, though
the husband, who is not the scientific

face of rather a ~bold-looking woman, or

to have it framed and hung up in the

The body Is wrapped in q linen cloth
coated with alum, laid on a slab of
soapstone, and showed into a retort of
freclay. No tire comes in contact with
the body At all. The retort is heated
to about 1000 degrees, and reduces the
body TO ashes without flame or burn
ing.
How long docs it takei'
About thirty minutes to every 100
pounds weight of the corpse. An aver
age man of $50 pounds is reduced to
ashes in about three-quarters Of an
hour.
What becomes OF the linen clothi'
40, it goes to ashes, too, and mingles
with those OF the corpse. But 1t does
not make more than a teaspoonful of
ashes, aud is not worth taking into ac-
connt. The body makes about three
pounds Of ashes to every 100 pounds of
weight. The ashes arc a pale gray

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
Of want of weight in the back. loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient TO suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or nelghboring organs. AT
times, symptoms ofindieestion are present
fatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like perspira,ion, producing a
very d~isagrceable itching, after getting
