THE CAUSES OF AnEualsM.
The Mysterious and Dangerous Enlarge
msnt Of Blood yosseis- Treatment.

The Mysterious and Dangerous Enlarge
mont Of blood Vessels --Treatment.
A lady writes us, saying, "Please say
something shout aneurism. What causes
it, and what peculiar symptoms belong
to itl 1t seems to be obscure. How can
its presence b discoveredg"
Aneurism q word meaning to
enlarge-denotes an enlargement, gener-
ally at some one point, Of an artery. 1t
may occur in any artery, but is most
common is those where the blood pres
sure is strongest. Hence the aorta Of
the chest-the large arterial arch into
which the heart hurls all the blood for the
former to distributes most likely to be
affected, and that, too, most grayely.
The direct cause is some sub-acute or
chronic inflammation of the coats Of the
artery, resulting in the degeneration of
a small patch. The muscular coat, los
ing its elasticity, bulges out under the
blood pressure, into considerable
pouch. Being concealed within the
chest cavity, and not necessarily inter-
fering with the health, it may remain
for long period undetocted. Indeed,
the sudden death Of the person from its
rupture may be the frst intimation Of its
existence.
Some Of the indirect causes of aneur-
ism are rheumatism, govt, kidney dis
ease, intemperanOe, mental emotions;
violent exercise; strain; mechanical i'm
pediments to the circulation, as in sol
diers, whose tight-htting coats render it
ten times as prevalent among them as
among civilians.
1t is more prevalent in males than in
females, and Is more common between
the ages of no and 60. Cases among the
odd are mainly due to that arterial de-
generation which characterizes age. In
the great majority of cases death results
from rupture of the aneurism.
No one but a physician can treat it,
and he can do nothing without the full
est cooperation of the patient.- Youths
Companion.

blondes and Brunestes in Germany.

1bAUhNCo aiAtA A4AhhOUSCH III OGNinbhys
Thirty-two per cent, or almost third
of the German youth, are blondes; IA
per cent. are brunettes; while alls the
rest, Cd per cent, must be cassed as
mixed, This mixture is not a homoge-
neous one, bat includes all intermediate
varieties. One class of the German pop
ulation forms decided exception to
these averages, viz, the Jews. Jewish
children show only II per cent. of
blondes, but 40 per cent of bru-
nettes. Their greater purity of race Is
shown by the small ratio of the mixed
class amongst them. The blonde
type is particularly prevalent In Olden-
burg and theneighboring more northerly
communities; it is rarest in eastern Ba-
varia and Alsace.
A canton (Wildeshsusen) in Oldenburg
has Sc per cent. of its population blondes,
while Roding, town in the second
group, has only 8 per cent, difference
of AZ per cent. The former has only four
bgsinettes to each 100 inhabitants, while
southern own in Alsaoe has as many
as thirty ne to every 100. The distribu-
ton Of the blonde type is much wider
than that Of the brunette type, which is
only secondary type. A canton in
Wurtemberg shows the largest ratio Of
the mixed class, so per cent, while Pom
erania shows the smallest, 40 per cent
The same contrast between the north and
south is shown in Belgium and in Swift
zerland. In southern Austria the bru-
nette type is especially marked, but
here the mixture with the Slavic people
adds o oomplicaion.--Detroit Free Press

Under the Auspices Of the Good TempIars
, 1886-07-23

One of the most interesting recent dis
coveries in science Is the fact that a ray
of light produces sound. A sunbeam is
thrown through a lens on a glass vessel
that contains lampblack, colored silk or
worsted, or other substances. A disk,
having Sits or openings cut in it, is made
to revolve swiftly in this beam of light, SO
as to cut it up, thus making alternate
flashes of light and shadow. On putting
the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds
are heard so long as the flashing beam is
falling on the vessel. Recently a more
wonderful discovery has been made. The
beam of sunlight is made to pass through
a prism SO as to produce what is called
the solar spectrum or rainbow. The disk
is turned and the colored light of the rain
bow is made to break through it.
Now place the ear to the vessel contain
ing the silk, wool or other material. AS
the colored lights of the spectrum fall
upon 1t sounds will be given by different
parts of the spectrum, and there will be
silence in other parts. For instance, If
the vessel contains red worsted and the
green light flashes upon it, loud sounds
will be given. Only feeble sounds will be
heard when the red and blue parts Of the
rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other
colors make no sounds at all. Green silk
gives sound best in red light. Every kind
of material gives more or less sound In
different colors and utters no sound in
others Chicago News.

The ceremony Of comforting the order of
knighthood at the hands of the queen is
not imposing. 1t is not, in fact, n public
ceremonial, and only those are permitted
to witness it who, by their official connec-
ton with the queens household, may at
tend her. The legal subject upon whom
such distinguished honor may be conferred
may not even invite his ''best man, " nor
the members of his personal circle Of rel
atives or friends to be present. Arrayed
In whatever uniform he may be entitled to
wear, or whatever dress court etiquette
and the time OF day make proper, II he be
n civilian, the subject presents himself be-
fore his sovereign and kneels at her royal
feet. Seated on the throne chair, the
queen lays the shining blade of n sword
across the shoulder of the kneeling but
exalted beneficiary, and says, using the
title which she is about to confer, "Arise,
Sir So and So" Plain Mr.. Cheltenham-
Brown is thus by n single stroke Of her
majesty's sword transformed into Sir
Knight So and So, and he is permitted
perchance to kiss his sovereign's finger
tips in grateful acknowledgment OF the
distinguished honor.
In other cases than this Of n plain
knighthood, and when the title carries
with il n decoration, the queen, with
her W royal hands, pins the glittering
and coveted baublc upon the coat of her
elevated subject. This is all, but to the

The excitement about tho Canadian
fisheries give n hint ms to the prospective
value of one of the undeveloped our
of the northwest. The shore fishing of
the provinces, on the Atlantic side, is of
sufficient Importance to bring the United
States and its neighbors to the verge Of a
quarrel, but it is n small matter compared
with the opportunities open in the north
western waters on this side of the CONT
nent. The mackcrcl fishing, which is the
present matter of dispute, is OF no less i'm
portance than the banks codflshing yet
the whole extent of the Newfoundland
banks is only about 20, 600 square miles,
while in the Pacilo d.la Okhotsk we have
800, 600 square miles, in Behring sea
almost as much more, and around the
Choumagin islands $4,000 altogether
nearly ten times the area of the Atlantic
banks. The total money value per an
nun of the fisheries on the banks and off
the east coast of the British North Ameri-
can provinces is in the neighborhood Of
S2j, DOC, coo, which embraces the catch of
the vessels Of NIL nations resorting there.
When the fisheries of the north Pacific
nre developed to anything like the extent
Of those of the north Atlantic they will
form one Of the great industries of this
coast.-San Francisco Call.

A LITTLE SUFFERER
CI,ansed, Purified and Beautihed by the
Cutlcura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure TO give you this
report Of tie cure Of our little grandchild
by your esuticura Remedies. When SIX
months oil his leti-hdni began to swell
and had every appearance OF a large boil.
I've poulticed it, but all to no purpose.
About five months after it became n run
ming sore. Soon other sores formed. He
then had two of them on each hand, and
as his blood became more and more i'm
pure it took less time for them to break
out. A sore came on the chin, beneath
the under lip, which was very offensive.
His head was one solid scab discharging a
great deal. This was his condition at %
months old, when | undertook the care of
him, his mother having died when he was
a little more than a year old, of consump-
ton (scrofula, of %course). He could walk
n little, but could not get up if he fell
down, and could not move when in bed,
having no use in his hands. | immedia-
tely commenced with the Cuticara Rene
dies, using the Cuticura and Cuticura
Soap freely, and when he had taken one
bottle of the Cuticura Resolvent his head
was completely cured, and he was improv-
ed in every way. We were very much
encouraged, and continued the use OF the
Remedies for n year and a half. One sore
after another healed, a bony matter form
ing in each one of these five deep ones
just before healing, which would finally
grow loose and were taken out; her they
would heal rapidly. One of these ugly
bone formations | preserved. After taking
a dozen and a half bottles he was compile
tely cured. and is now at the age of G
years a strong and healthy child. The
scars on his hands must always remain;
his hands are strong, though we once
feared he would never be able to use
them. All that physicians did Tor him did
him no good. All who saw the child before
using the Cuticura Remedies and see the
child now consider it a wonderful cure. If
the above facts are OF any use to you, you
are at liberty to use them. Mrs. Il. s..
