A physician who is connected with an
institution which contains many children
says: ''There is nothing more irritating
to a cough than to cough. For some
time l had been SO fully assured of this
that l recently determined if possible,
for one minute, at least, to lessen the
number of coughs heard in . certain
ward i'll the hospital of the institution.
BY the promise of rewards and punish
ments / succeeded in inducing them
simply to hold their breath when tempted
to cough, and in a little while l was my
self surprised to see how some of the
children recovered entirely from their
disease.
Constant coughing is precisely like
scratching n wound on the outside of the
body; so long as it is done the wound
will not heal. Let n person when tempted
to cough draw n long breath and hold it
until it warns and soothes every mir cell,
and some benefit will soon be received
from the process. The nitrogen which is
thus retained acts as an anodyne to the
irritated mucus membrane, allaying the
desire to cough and giving the throat and
lungs n chance to heal. At the same
time n suitable medicine will aid nature
IN her effort to recuperate. Baltimore

At the wharres of Havana.

Along the low, crowded, quaint
wharves on the Havana side, by the
Catalina warehouses, skirting the Regla
docks and st%orehouses, or severed at va
rious points in the bay by these pictur-
csque lighters and their noisy lanchcros,
are banks and b~arkentines, brigs and
brigantines, two, three and four masted
schooners and full rugged ships, dis
charging and receiving cargoes. Hero
are Dutch banks and briggs discharging
coal from Cardiff. They will receive
sugar or molasses for Philadelphia or New
York, and there load with general Cargoes
for some European port. Norwegian
barks, briggs and brigantincs have brought
coal from the Baltic and tiles from France
and Spain. French briggs and barks arc
discharging cargoes of tiles from Mar
settles. Here are Spanish vessels with
linen and wines from Barcelona. All
manner of queer Portuguese craft are
here with onions and garlic and flour.
From Halifax have come vessels with
general cargoes of onions, cabbage, pota-
toes, apples and salt fish. From South
America have come brigs and brigan-
tines, with the general air and build of
Spanish craft, and these have brought
wheat, fruit and tassajo II jerked beef,
olives, sweet oil. bacon, butter, lard, figs
and brandy. From Vera Cruz and Mex
leo have come what our American sea

A novel weapon of defense has been
found in the ruined pueblos of Arizona.
In the doorways of several Los Muertos
rooms the Heminway expedition has
found many huge defensive stones. These
stones are ponderous masses of volcanic
rock, rather handsome in shape, but
destructive in design. Tho upper end
tapers to a sort of handle. The stone
was suspended in the doorway by a buck
skin thong, which. was fastened to the
ring or handle, The method of using it
was extremely simple. By holding it
back and then letting it fly a file of men
could be hewn down.-Chicago News.

Artists ideas of decorating their own
quarters differ from their ideas of deco
rating rich mems houses, and for reasons
sufficient to themselves. They beautify
the house of wealth extensively, but for
their studios and apartments they much
prefer such trappings as a lot of sail or
tent cloth, fish nets, turkey red chintz,
old swords, the rough bark of trees, dried
flowers, old straw hats and various other
things at which the junk shop mar
would turn up his nose in contempt. The
value of all this debris is greatly enhanced
in the artists opinion if everything is
thickly covered with dust. Then it is
Enthusiastically artistic. Some of the
studios in this city are fearfully and Won

Mad Over vegetarIanism.

A man made mad over vegetarianism
was n curious inmate of a Pennsylvania
hospital. The sight of any animal, bird,
insect or reptile, slain at the hand of
man, would send him into paroxyisms of
hysteric rage. He would wear no shoes,
in order to kill the fewer animalcule as
he walked. Every shoe or wooden article
of clothing that came in. his reach he
would destroy; a funeral would fill him
with frenzy, for he held that the dead
should be carried into the woods and COW
cred with leaves; while his vegetarian
ideas as to food were equally pronounced.
On every occasion possible he would slip
off to eat grass, each blade of which he
would carefully wipe in order to preclude
the destruction of an insect.-Good

Keep 1t to Yourself.

Take my advice" said an elderly
nan about town, land don't swear off
doing this or that thing. If you nave a
habit which you think is hurting you
either physically or morally, just deter
mine to yourself to stop it, but don't
spread it broadcast among your friends.
You will be exposed to less temptation,
have more chances of keeping your good
resolution, and, in the event of a failure,
no one but yourself will be the wiser.
There's nothing like holding the respect
Of other people, and if they know you
can'tdo a thing that is wholly for your
own good they'll never think well OF
you" It's good advice, too.-Philadel.

Never endure the trifing but none the
less real annoyance of rolling pencil or
penholder, when by merely sticking a
roughly squared lump of sealing wax on
the end, the rolling tendency is checked
forever. Sticking the pencil or pen
holder through n small square bit of
cardboard answers the same purpose, but
the cardboard is liable to slip off, or bend
out of shape.-'H. S. B. in The Writer.

Another Grade Crossing.

The ordinance granting the right for
sidetrack connecting the Omaha and
Northern Pacific railroad yards to cross
First street north Occasioned another
pow WOW. Aid. Mills fixed up the or
dinance by adding some amendments
which removed, as he thought, any OBJ
jectiOnable features. When the vOtewas
called a number of the aldermen ex-
planned their positions, Aid. Barrcws
did not believe in allowing the street to
be blocked up. Aid. Gibson said the
council made a mistake in opposing any
measure that a railroad may desire, and
this was the reason that the railroads
discriminate against Minneapolis in
favor of st. Paul. Aid. Lawrence was
opposed to granting any more crossings.
Aid. McArdle said that the railroad at
a small expense could bridge the street.
Aid. Mills claimed the switch was not
in the interest of the railroads, but of
the manufacturers of North Minneapo-
lis. The ordinance was finally passed
by vote of 10 to Is. What had the
most weight in favor of allowing the
crossing was an amendment providing
that all switching shall be between D.
IN. and 6 a. m.

OMAHA GRADE CROSSING.
Eighth Ward Finances Occasion Dis
cussion---Ed A. Stevens Commune
cation Tabled---0ther Business.

The aldermen loafed through the heat
of yesterday, many of them in their
shirt-sleeves, and the afternoon wore
slowly away. While the debates were
all heated because of the condition of
the atmosphere, many of them were es-
pecially interesting. The council was
in an argumentativem mood, however, and
there was any amount of talk. One of
the most interesting discussions came
up on the request Of tile Tenth ward to
borrow $500. to be paid back next year
out of First ward funds. This brought
up question which is pertinent just
now to the outlying wards of the city.
The Eighth ward is in debt to the
amount of $4,000, and the payment
of $1,000, which the Ninth ward
borrowed from the city treas
urer, has been enjOined upon the
application of r. II. Graham and
others. Aid. Cooley thought that the
new wards should be allowed to borrow
when there is great necessity for street
improvements. For instance the Eighth
ward had been obliged to borrow money
to lay out streets so that people could
get to their houses. The increased
valuation in property would in turn re-
pay the advancement. Aid. johnson
thought that the present representatives
in the council had no right to spend the
money which should be handled by
future aldermen. After considerable
Wrangling the matter was referred to
the committee ON ways and means and
the city attorney.

Eds Little Bill,

A communication was received from
Ed A. Stevens, in which he said that be-
fore any action was taken upon his bill
of $1,000 for the compilation of the city
charter and ordinances, he wanted to
explain that he had named that amount
with the expectation of its immediate
payment. If it was considered exorbi-
tant he wanted it rejected, but was
willing to submit the question of its
fairness to arbitration, or to the opinion
of any one of the district court judges.

munication as out of place. The COM
mittee on claims did not recognize Mr..

ferred. This view OF the case was
taken by the council, and the commune
cation was tabled.

WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
The Sisters Fair a Complete Sue
cess in Every Particular.

cess In Every fart1cular.
AS the close of the Sisters fair at
Harmonic hall draws near interest in it
Increases instead of abates, and the at
tendance last evening was the largest of
any evening since the opening of the
fair. Every one, although warm and
perSpiring, was smiling and laughing,
and sent the nickels, dimes and dollars,
rolling merrily INTO the treasurer's cof-
ferS. The principal event of the even
ing was the drill by the Hibernian rifles.
1t was well done and drew forth wild
applause. The fair closes tonight, and
there is not doubt but that it has been
big success in every particular. The
dining room has proved big attrac-
ton, and as the meals gotten up by the
ladies have been extremely nice, the
patronage has steadily increased.
FOUND AT THE TABLES.
Mrs. Hannigan, in charge of the hand
some embroidered scarf donated by
Mother Serephim, is doing rushing
business, and her collections will show
up big.
A peanut and candy stand was started
by the ladies of the Church of the I'M
maculate Conception last evening and
placed in charge of Misses Alice Judge
and Celia Murphy. Before the evening
was over the girls had to send for more
sweetmeatS.
1t is not generally known that Mother
Serephlm is sister of Archbishop Ire
land.
The handsome-framed picture of Rev.
Father Kenny has thus far realized
something over $50.
James Dolan yesterday donated two
boxes of candy to the refreshment de-
partment under the charge of ladies of
the Holy Rosary parish.
The pair Of Italian marble vases on
the st. Chlotilde table was purchased
by James Harrison for so.
Archbishop Ireland and Rev. Fathers
Kane, Lawler, Grinler and Timothy, of
the college at Merriam Park, took din
ner at the hall yesterday. Archbishop
ireland made personal visit to every
table, and made liberal donation at
every one.
The diamond ring lost by Miss Quin-
Ian was found by John Collins, the
night Waterman, and returned.
Patrolman Henry Brudigan and
Jack" were visitors last night.
Bently Bros. donated a handsome
picture to the fair yesterday.
Members of the legal profession will
dine at the hall to-day, headed by
County Attorney Davis and Mark
Haynes.
The receipts at the door thus far have
more than paid the current expenses of
the fair, and the management is cores
pondingly happy.
Lots of ''blind" voting is being done,
and some of the candidates will be sur
prised at the votes they have polled.

Notre Dame sang pleasing songs last
evening.
