OF RELIEF.

Denounced.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Earl of
Kimberley, Secretary for India, moved
in the House of Lords, this afternoon,
for the appointment of committee TO
inquire into the report upon the state
of government in India. In reply TO
inquiries the earl stated that Lord
Dufferin, the Indian Viceroy, did not
consider the position of affairs at
Yemethin, in Burmah, as seriously
alarming, although it had been re-
ported that the place was besieged by
5000 rebels, and Gen. Prendergast had
been sent with 800 British troops TO
relieve it. The earl's motion was
adopted.
IN THE COMMONS.

noon debate on the governments civil
service estimates, NJ mOved to reduce the
grants for the maintenance of parks
belonging TO or used exclusively by
royalty or members OF the royal FAM
lily. The motion caused a lively con-
troversy but it was finally carried
against the govern uent by a vote Of
l3l to Ia

Travelling Statesmen.
Cleveland Leader.


One of the leading dry goods sales
men of the United States tells me that
there are now about $4,000 travelling
statesmen on the road in this country,
and that their expense account alone
will average 81, 500 a year each. This
for expenses alone means an outlay
Of 1920, 10000 a year, and if you will
count in an average salsry of $1,000
a year eacn it will swell the total to
$500, 600, 600 year. This immense
sum is scattered all over the United
States. 1t keeps up the hotels, and is
one Of the most important items Of
railroad passenger receipts. The
character OF the travelling salesman
has changed within a decade past.
You will find very few boys and few
er drunkards upon the road. The
competition is so great and the ex-
penses so heavy that firms have to
send out their best raen, and salaries
OF So, 600 and $1,000 a year are by no
ne8l.s uncommon

Ailments One Sets Little Pity For.
Casselrs Family Magazine for February.

There is an expression you hear al
most every day applied to, or having
reference to, some sufferer. "Oh, it
is nothing deadly" This is to talk
heartlessly- unfeelingly. No com
plant in the world, perhaps, ELECTS
less sympathy than toothache. Many
is the time and oft / have heard people
laughed at for having it. This was
called trying to laugh them out Of
it." Sudden mlrthful affections of the
mind have often, grant you, scared
away trihlng pain, but never the
agony of an aching tooth. The most
common kind of toothache is probably
that caused by simple inflammation
Of the pulp of the tooth, which gener-
ally is decsyed one. The inaama-
ton itself is the result of cold. Bad
enough to bear is this kind of tooth
ache: and it is apt to recur again and
again, from Just the same causes in
spite OF all the pain-kIlling nostrums
that can be applied
The radical cure for tooth-ache of
this sort is so simple that child can
understand It's why and wherefore.
Go boldly to a good dentist aud have
it cleaned and filed. And let me tell
you this, that the cleaning is very
essential part of the operation. Go in
the interval of pain-and thislatter in
all cases may be removed by rest,
warmth IN bed, and an aperient of a
cooling kind. Here is something that
few people know: saline aperIents are
most valuable in the treatment of all
trihing indamations; they reduce the
general bulk of the blood and remove
inf1amatory products, The toughest
| forms of saline are the EPSON and
| Glauber salts; the milder, Seidltz
powders, Pullna and other natural
waters, etc,
But as tooth-scbe is likely to recur,
those who are apt 10 suffer from it
should see to the state of the general
health, and take mild tonic If need
be, and above all, make habit of
brushing the teeth after each meal.

Some Aches and Pains.
CasgelI's FamiIy Magazlne 10 February.


Back-ache is often constant com
plant with over-worked or delicate
people They get little pity for it. 1t
seems almost 3 mockery 70 say, Re
move the cause" But this should be
done IS much as possible, and an easy
position studied while at work. Steel
or steel with ouinlne will often do
good, and the strength should be kept
well up
AS, however, back-ache is often
connected with internal complaints,
which may eventually prove intract-
able or incurable, Whenever it occurs
for any length of time a medical man
should be consulted.
Pain OF all kinds is greatly relieved
by the use Of the hot bath. This is a
hint which should not be forgotten.
Headaches. These are of so many
different kinds that cannot spare
space to say much about them. Rest,
aperients. absence for time from
food, and afterwards mild doses of
quinine, Will be found beneficial. But
those who are much subject to them
must take the greatest care how they
live, and not neglect plenty Of whole
some, happy exercise IN the open air.
Those who sit much during the day
should be careful to hold the body as
erect as possible.
Cold water applied frequently to
the head does good in fullness of the
head. The last often proceeds from
disordered stomach and liver. The
latter must be congested, and, if only
transiently so, one or two aptl-blllous
pills will remove it. The stomach
and liver sympathize very much with
each other. When the latter is out of
order, the former will be acid,
Slight colds and coughs should
never be neglected. Unless one &C
tually calls in medical assistance,
probably it is better to trust to dietie-
! tic treatment, with rest and warmth,
than TO purchase cough mixtures
from the shops, which may or may
not be unskllfully prepared. The
worst of these IS that they so often
contain such a quantity of opiates
that, even when they DO give relief,
they leave want OF appetite, constipa-
ton and general lnaptitude for duty,
for days to come.
Chloride is often taken for colds
and coughs. 1t is r dangerous RENE
DIV, in that weak-minded people are
ant TO take doses of it so often that It
! becomes a habit, and nothing could
be more dangerous. Ii leads even
| tually to chronic ill-health, and IS
sure to shorten life if persisted in.
A spraia is apt to be neglected. Rest
and soothing applications, or even
cold water, will be sufficient to bring
matters straight very sooni but re-

cripple for life from neglecting q

Exasperated Texans.

CHICAGO, July 'l.--A special dispatch
from Dallas, Tex, says: The feeling Of
friendliness which had began TO exist in
Texas toward Mexico has been reversed by
the Cutting and other outrnges recently
brought 10 light, to one of intense resent
mont, with everybody's voice for war. The
young men OF this and other Texas cities
are quietly enrolling themselves for military
service if need be, and similar movement,
though to o lesser extent, is going on
throughout the State. The war-like feeling
is intensified by the recital of American citi-
zens of outrages experienced in Mexico over
which they hereto fore were silent at the in.
stance of employers, who feared the effect
OF exposure upon their business in Mexico.
In the event of Cutting being sent to Mex
lean penitentiary it will be difficult to re-
strain the people of Texas from an irregular
invasion of Mexico.
