BRONCHITIS.


Acute Bronchitis is an Inflammation OF the
mncus membra OF the bronchial tubes,
and is one of the most common OF the pull
monary diseases. It is a dangerous disease,
as II prevents the oxygenation OF the blood,
aud in many cases, particularly after 1t
passes into the chronic stage, the substance
OF the lungs becomes seriously involved,
giving rise to what Is very properly called
Bronchial Consumption. In the acute form
there is sense Of tightness or pressure
across the chest. with considerable wheez-
ing, severe cough and expectoration. This
Is al first a white glairy mucus, which after
q time becomes purulent; The. patient In
some cases is obliged to sit up In bed. the
oppression across the chest Is so great; the
skin is clammy and prostration rapidly sets
in, and in fatal cases there will be mutter
ing delirium, coma and death.
CHRoNlC BRONCHITIS.
Chronic Bronchitis is also an infiam-
nation of the mueus membrane OF
on the lungs the disease either ends
in bronchitis or pneumonia III 1t ends in
bronchitis 1t usually passes of as cold on
the chest, and still the patient does not feel
entirely well. He feels tired and languid,
and is incapable OF taking his usual amount
OF exercise and experiences a shortness of
breath, with more or less warmth In the
palms Of his hands Soon after this q cough
of thick mucus, followed by a hectic flush,
loss of flesh and strength and night sweats
continue, when the patient assumes all the
appearances OF having genuine case OF
consumption. But this Is simply catarrh Of
the lungs or chrome bronchitis.
In the later stage ofthe disease the mucus
membrane of the larger bronchial tube
softens, while In The smaller tubes and air
cells Of the lungs the mucus membrane be-
comes congested and inhamed. There are
no cavities nor tubercles in the lungs. but
merely a wasting away OF the larger bron.
chial tubes and death takes place from OBJ
struction of the bronchial tubes and air
cells Of the lungs. The patient dies from
exhaustion aud suffocation. being unable
to expectorate the mncus which accumu
lates In the passage leading to the lungs,
which in some cases is sticky and small in
quantity, but more commonly copiou J, of a
light straw or yellow'sh green. 0itentimes
streaks OF blood make their appearance in
the mucus, and at times there Is a disagree
able smell. Persons thus afflicted are very IL
able to take cold, at which times the mucus
becomes clear and frothy, and 1t is not un-
commonly the case that the patient dies in
one OF these attacks.
II wonld be wise. therefore. for all those
who desire our services to apply early, be-
fore the disease has assumed an incurable
form, which soon carries the sufferer to
that bourne from which no traveller ever re-
turns.

A Hairy Family.

Mr.. Farini has made US acquainted
with strange personages; but, assuredly,
none more strange than those whom he is
now exhibiting in one of the chambers of
the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. This party
consists of "The Burmese Royal Sacred
Hairy Family" On the abdication or
expulsion of King Theebaw his depend.
ents were scattered far and wide; and
among the deposed favoritcs were a
mother and son, who are held to be
sacred simply from the fact that they are
covered with hair from head to foot.
There is no possible imposture about
this fact, for any visitor is permitted the
closest inspection. From the forehead
to the feet the hair is in thick profusion,
especially over the face (Which resembles
that of the Skye terrier), where it has to
be divided in order to allow the human
eyes-for human they are-to see or be
seen. On the mans face tho hair is enor-
mously thick, and measures in length
over seven inches. The woman, his
mother, who is sixty-three years of age,
is also completely covered with hair,
which is now growing gray.-Londe"

Painting.

It is surprising how everybody rushes
at fainting person and strives to raise
him up, and especially to keep his head
erect. There must be an instructive ap-
prehension that if person seized with
a fainting fit fall into a recumbert
position death is more imminent. A.
WAYS remember this fact, namely
Painting is caused by want Of blood in
the brain. The heart ceases to act with
sufficient force to send the usual amount
of blood to the brain, and hence the per
son loses consciousness because the func
ton of the brain ceases. Restore the
blood to the brain and instantly
the person recovers. Now, thoug h
the blood is propelled to al
parts of the tody by action Of the
heart, yet it is still under the influence of
the laws of gravitation. In the erect po.
sition the blood ascends to the head
against gravitation, and the supply to
the brain is diminished, as compared
with the recumbent position, the hearts
pulsation being equal. If, then, you
place a person sitting whose heart has
nearly ceased to beat, his brain will fail
to receive the blood; while if you lay
him down with the head lower than the
heart, blood will run into the brain by
mere force of gravity, and in suffi-
cient quantity to restore conscious
ness. Indeed, nature teaches us how to
manage fainting persons, for they always
fall and frequently are at once restored
by the recumbent position into which
they are thrown.

A "WrinkIe i'm Millinery"

The dear girls have new wrinkle in
millinery-or, perhaps, it is an old
wrinkle just being found out, saysa New
York letter. Bonnets trimmed at q
fashionable establishment cost from $40
to $50, somewhat according to the style,
and good deal according to the prevail
ing idea of the wealth of the parent or
husband who has to pay the bill. On the
lining of each is printed or pasted label
with the name of the fashionable estab-
ment. The dear girls dearly love that
label, because it is the first thing
each of them looks at when they inspect
some other girls new bonnet. The dear
price which the dear girls have to pay
for these dear hats, however, breaks the
feminine hearts along with the masculine
pocketbooks. They know they can trim
their own bonnets just as pretty as the
fashionable milliner can, and their lnge-
NOUS little heads have got around the
difficulty about the label by treasuring
ND their last years headgear and work
ing the Innings with the high priced label
into the new, homemade millinery. The
result is bonnet that even the envious
female eye cannot tell from "bough-
ten" one, except that it generally looks
better. An Incidental variation of the
scheme allows the fair one to increas her
supply of pin-money by collecting from
papa or hubby tn, old. accustomed price
for her s'new bonnet" In ju tice to the
ladies, however, it is fair to say that few
of them do this. It's worth more to
them in the long run to be able to refer
occasionally to chow much I saved, my
dear, by trimming my own bonnet this
spring instead of going to that awfully
expensive Madame Blank" It's a poor
coaxer who doesn't work this little plea
for three or four times the cost of one OF
Aime's bonnets before the season Is over.

A Turkish Bath.

A man who has not indulged in q
Turkish bath has missed much of the
evils of this life, says Luke Sharp, in the
Detroit Free Press. I know that it is
customary to speak of Turkish bath as
a great luxury. This is grave mistake.
1t is luxury in the same sense that get
ting a tooth pulled or limb sswn off is
luxury-you feel sepse Of great relief
when the operation is over.
First you are put into room that is
insufferabIy hot. There you endure all
the tortures that are popularly supposed
to be reserved for large and influential
class in futurity. Then you 60 into a
room that is still hotter. After that you
arc mauled and maltreated by rutfian
in pre-Raphaelite costume who twists
YOUR muscles and nearly wrings the flesh
off your bones and finally beats you
black and blue. The men employed at
the Turkish baths are people who are
soured at the whole human race and who
wreak the vengeance they would like to
have on the community at large on each
unfortunate individual who is brought
before them. When person loses con-
sciousne,s from the treatment he receives
he is spongcd of, after being forced to
swallow half pound of soap in the form
of lather, and then dried and placed on
a couch in an adjoining room until he is
sufficiently recovered to have strength
enough to put on his clothes and find a
dollar in one of the pockets to pay the
man at the Office. He is then allowed to

TattOoed Women.

Those who think tattooing, as most
people do in this part of the world, Gus
tom of semi-civilized countries Except
in the case of sailors), will probably be
astonished to learn that there are two Sis
tiers belonging to one of the most promi-
nent families in Washington, socially as
well as in official circl,s, whose grand
parents on both sides were also for more
than a generation back similarly situated
in the National Capital, who are really
tattooed. Both the sisters are young,
and one has been married for several
yea 8, and the other is betrothed. When
scarcely in their teens these girls, just for
the fun of the thing, being of lively,
daring temperament, allowed a sailor at
the naval station, where they were with
their parents, to tattoo their checks with
red, and it has remained in the skin ever
since, making the cheeks wear always a
peculiar brick-dust hue, that no one has
ever been deceived into believing natural,
and wonder has often heen expressed
that these young ladies painted their
faces in so glaring and inartistic man
ner. Few know that they are tattooed,
and that they have doubtless often re-
gretted utterly the freak of their early
youth. Washington Letter.

The older civilized people, the Greeks

Remarkable Garments Worn by Dudes.

The colored-shirt mania is becoming
acute and is rapidly getting beyond con!
troll. The proudest man in town to-day
is the one who parades Broadway with a
literally exposed shirt bosom formed of
background Of sea green, spla' he'd with
red roses, and occasional arrows of a
light shade of pink, with high white
collar and purple tie. This gentleman
feels that he can defy all corners. The
only rival to this particularly violent
specimen OF misdirected energy in the
matter of color is Mr.. Berry Walls waist
coat. 1t was built for him at vast ex-
pense, and would be the pride of Mr..
Walls friends if it wele not for the fact
that the sight of it plunges them into a
condition of blind, unreasoning, and vio-
lent envy. The body of the waistcoat is
white, and over its surface are embroi-
dered countless miniature represent atiors
of Mr.. Berry Walls great race horse
Wallhower, with jockey on his back
wearing Mr.. Wallis colors, blue and
white. 1t would be proper, perhaps, to
observe that the word ''great," as used
in the foregoing sentence to describe Mr..
Walls horse, is purely complimentary.
1t is not bad-looking horse and it had
the reputation of being rather fond Of its
master, the King of the Dudes, but it
never wins.
It is a curious freak which makes the
most extravagant combinations admissi-
Bile as far as the shirt-bosoms and cuffs
are concerned, but rigidly prescribes q
white collar. Of all the fashions that
have afflicted the town this is by long
odds the most absurd. .-BroOklyn Eagle.
