NERVOUS COUGH.
an Addiction WHOSE True Nature Is Not
Universally Understood.

NV AAuo 10 y "
Universally Understood.
One may have a hard, dry and vio-
lent cough, and yetthe lungs, bronchial
tubes and larynX be in a perfectly nor
NAL condition.
Says Flint: "In most of the cases of
this kind which / have seen, the cough
has a peculiar barking tone, and the
pitch has been low, showing that the
CLOTHS was dilated at the instant of
coughing. In some cases, however,
the tone is shrill and the quality of the
sound croupal, showing spasm Of the
CLOTHS. In a cas- recently under OBJ
servation, the cough consisted of a
single, short, hoarsc bark, often repeat
ed several times a minute. 1t is some
times i'll paroXysms, having a resem-
blance to those of whooping cough.
The peculiar sound of the cough, to-
gether with its frequent and
sometimes its violence, renders it dis
tressing to those whose sympathies are
excited, and annoying to others"
hysterical tendencies. It may be in
duced by involuntary irritation. A
school for girls was once b%roken.up by
it. The slightest change of tempera-
ture excite it, as do also penetrating
odors. 1t is constantly attended by
%sneezing and snuffing.
Shadewald, who has recently given it
special attention, found it could be pro-
duced by gently touching a certain point
within the nostrils. This point is the
termination of one of the filaments of
the trigeminal Cor trifaciaD nerve, and
it is to its irritation that Shadewald re-
CARDS this cough as due. Hence he
calls it the trigemin0y cough,
1t bears a striking resemblance to
nervous asthma, and the latter is now
thought to be the most pronounced form
Of trigeminal cough, with its seat within
the nostrils. Ramitications of the trige-
minial go to the pharvnx (the back part
of the mouth), and also to a portion of
the ear, and hence this coughmay some
times be due to trigeminal irritation in
these parts, but it is most frequently
met with from irritation of the nerve
within the nostrils.
OF course nc treatmentd directed to the
throat or lungs will be of any avail,
and its persistence against all ordinary
remedies may Jus the gravest fears.
But the peculiar barking tone of the
cough and a certain nervous character
of the patient may suggest it's real ma
ture. The medical attendant should at
once suspect its trigcminal origin, if he
fails to find any organic explanation OF
it. All treatment should be directed to
the nasal nerve, and the main object
should be to lessen its undue excita-
bility.
Galvanism is warmly recommended
Cauterization is often etfectual, and so,
for a time is a slight bleeding of the
parts. The copious secretion to which
iodide of potassium, administered in
ternally, gives rise is helpful, by wash
ing out the irritating particles. In
lighter cases, this and the inhaling Of
vapor arc often sutlicient.-YouHs

CommunicabiIity of Scarlet Fever.

Another case showing the commune
cability of contagious diseases by cloth
ing is reported from Bath, Me-, where
a girl had scarlet fever at a boarding
school. After recovery she returned
home, and a trunk containing the
clothing she wore while sick was put
away in the garnet. Six months later
two little children were playing in the
garnet, and, opening the trunk, tooA
out some of the clothing. In a week
both were taken very i'll with the dis
ease, and one died. There were no

made of this campfire plant, one OF the

religion of Jesus Christ casts no blackness

life; it b. ightens up everything. There is
no more religion in a funeral than there is
in a wedding; nc more religion i'll tears
than in smiles. David was no better when
he said he cried out out of the depths Of
hell, than he was when he said that his
mouth was filled with laughter and his
tongue with singing. The best men thatl
have ever known have laughed the loudest.
Religion was intended to brighten up all our
character. Take out the sprig of cypress
from your coat and pat in "a cluster. of

A NEW KIND OF GLASS.
a Discovery that may Vastly Impro'

q Discovery that may Vastly Improve
the HIicroscope-The Possibilities.
That recent wonderful discovery in mi
croscopy has not been even noted in the public
press may be cited as proof of the general
apathetic tendency as regards scientific mat
ters. The microscope has always been re-
garded as a wonderful instrument, but by the
discovery of an entirely new kind OF glass
lately its powers are increased to an Incredible
degree. 1t was in the year 1873 that DR..
Abbey read paper before the South Ken
sington association, in England, in which ho
strongly set forth his ideas that it was pos
sible that new kind Of glass might be made
which would increase the power OF the micro
scope In the wear 1881 he and DR.. Scott, q
celebrated chemist. began to experiment IN
the town OF Witten, in Westphalia. Their
funds gave ont in 1888, however, before they
Ind obtained any remarkable results from
their c,periricnts. but both were so sanguine
of making a beneficial discovery, If they lad
funds to continue their work, that the PIUs-
sian government was induced to give $500
for the continuation OF experiments. Profes-
sor Abbey and DR.. Scott then erected
laboratory in Germany, at The works of Carl
Zeiss n manufacturer OF instruments used by
scierS lists They tried nearly all known ele
me1lts. and il was only about six months ago
that their long labor Wv crowned with sue
cess, which viii make them famous i'll the
history OF science.
The ordinary glass contains six substances.
The new glass made by Professor Abbey and
Dr. Scott contains fourteen. The Cost es-
sential elements of which it is composed are
phosphorus and boron, neither o. which is
used in common glass. With the old glass
the full power Of the microscope was the dis
cernment Of the ono-fve-hundred-t -thCusandth
part of al inch, and with the new glass it is
claimed that the one-twoL hundred -and-four-
million n-hundred-thousandth part Of
an inch can be distinguished. This clPtainly
seems Incredible, but positive assurance Of its
truth is given by parties who have tested
Professor Abbey's and Dr.. SCOTS new inStr1i-
ment
When the discovery was first made Carl
Zeiss, the manufacturer, in whose place the
experimentalists had worked, was in favor of
getting out a patent, so that the discovery
might prove a most profitable one, but the
fact of the experiments having been conducted
with funds supplied by the PrIssian govern
ment prevented the discovereIs from making
it private enterprise, and compels them to
make it public benciit The difference be
tween the new and TIE old glass consists in the
refraction Of light. The glass is not on the
market yet, but viii be very shortly. 1t viii
be used entirely for high power instruments.
The benefits to be derived from the discovery
can hardly be estimated. 1t will of course,
be of great value III microscopic photography

The boys think they do some pretty sharp

our side made a proposition to put the twenty
names ten Douglas and ten Breckenridge
men, into a hat, and then have an outsider
draw ten slips, those to be the delegates. jim
George was afraid there was some trick and
wouldn't consent. We offered to let him fur
nish the hat and hold it; then he gave in
The names were written and put into the tall
silk hat and George held it. Billy Mcdonald,
n printer, lived out Of the ward, and we
brought him in to draw the slips He was blind
folded and his shirt sleeves rolled up above
his elbows. George held the hat between his
knees. Mcdonald drewa slip and it was
Breckenridge 7Aan. He drew another and it
was another breckenridge man. He kept on
until the ten slips had been drawn, and every
one of them was a Breckenridge man. George
sat there, his face growing longer and longer
When the tenth name came out he turned
the hat upside down and the ten Douglas
names feIl on the floor. He stood up, looked
into h;s hat, grabbed the lining and tore it
out. Then he threw the hat, a new one, on
the floor, sta,;lped on it and kicked it across
the room. After awhile he cooled down and
said, "Well, I'll stand by it, but I'll give you

The Coal Trade.

Saturdays Dradstreet's says there is
little that is new to report concerning
the anthracite coal trade. 1t is claimed
on all hands that the restricted totuup
during June, moderate as II is, goes q
long ways toward preventing an accum-
ulation of stocks at tidewater points,
even in the face of the light demand
prevailing. The latter, however, is not
an unusual feature during June. Those
who are inclined TO regard the anthra.
cite coal situation at all times and under
all circumstances from bull point of
view, are anxious that an advanced rate
for coal be announced before July Ito
take effect on that date = in order that
the midsummer purchases for fall and
winter domestic use may net increased
profits. The total tonnage taken out
since January /, In round numbers,
amounts to about Il, 600, 900 tons against
about ll,000,000 tons in a corresponding
portion of 1885. The market is quiet

Analyzing the Baking Powdera.

Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health, eighty-four
different kinds of baking powders,
embracing all the brands that could be
found for sale in the State, were sub
mitted 10 examination and ANALYSIS by
Prof. @. f. Chandler, a Member of the
State Board and President of the New
York City Board of Health, assisted by
Prof. Edward &. Love, the well. known
late United States Government chemist.
The official report shows that q large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many of
them TO such an extent as TO render
them seriously objectionable for use in
the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty nine
samples. This drug, is employed in
baking powders to cheapen their cost.
The presence Of lime is attributed to the
impure cream of tartar of commerce
used in their manufacture. Such cream
OF tartar was also analyzed, and found
to contain lime and other impurities; in
some samples to the extent of 93 per
cent, of their entire weight
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of "Royal"
mot including the alum and phosphate
powders, which were long since ditcard-
ed as unsafe or inefficient by prudent
house-kecpers are made from the I'm
pure cream of tartar of commerce, and
consequently contain lime to cores
ponding extent. stS-
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free
from lime ami absolutely pure is 1he
Royal. This Sperfeot purity, results
frOm theeXciusige use of cream of tartar
specially refined and prepared by patent
processes of the N. Y. Tartar Co, which
totally removed the tartrate of lime and
other impurities. The cost of this
chemically pure cream of tartar is much
greater than any other, and on account
OF this greater cost is used in no baking
powder but the "Royal:"
Prof. Love, who made the ANALYSIS of
baking powders for the New York State
Board OF Health as well as for the govern
ment, says Of the purity and wholesome
ness of Royal"
II have tested a package of 'Royal
Baking Powder which | purchased in
the open market and find il composed of
pure and wholesome Ingredients. 1t is a
cream of,lartar powder of a high degree
OF merit, and does not contain either
alum or Phosphates or any Injurious
substances. e. G.. LOVE, PHI. D.
