Death In a Blizzard.

DR.. Smith, the health officer of this
port, day or two ago spoke of death in
a blizzard as being the result of suffoca-
ton, and explained his meaning by say
ing; Zone of my clerks was two hours
in coming to me on one of the days of
the furious blizzard in this city. He was
three hours and half, he told me, in
going back over the same distance, some
thing like two miles. He felt no incon-
venience beyond the exhaustion conse-
quent on the fight with the wind. He
slipped into doorways to catch his breath,
and when the wind blew too sharply in
his face turned around with his'back to
it. Death in blizzard comes too often
from attempting to breast the storm.
The wind takes away ones breath. Suf-
location follows. A man doubles up and
drops down and is dead. He does not
even know what allied him. If he had
turned his back to the blast for a
moment he might have faced it again
and have gone on for another struggle
unframed. New York Tribune.

How to Become Learned.

Any man of mature years who has en-
joyed all the advantages of free public
primary, grammar and high school, a
preparatory academy, college, and a
professional school, will testify that what
he has learned by himself is of infinitely
more value to him than all he ever ac-
quired in all the institutions of learning
he ever attended. Books on all subjects
are now so cheap and plenty, public
libraries are SO large and numerous, in
struction in special studies is so easily OBJ
tanned that any person who can read,
write and compute numbers may become
as learned as the wisest. He can study
what he knows or thinks will afford him
the most pleasure or profit. He can
cultivate his head, hands, or heels, his
eye, tongue, or ear, his manners, morals
and language to any extent he desires, at
an expense not exceeding what a young
man ordinarily spends for cigars or girl
for candy. If a person wishes to become
learned there is little trouble in accom-
plishing what he wishes.-Chicago Times.

Asthma . symptom.

Asthma is not a disease per Sc as L
popularity supposed, but a symptom Of
disease. 1t is spoken of by different
names-as, for instance, hay asthma,
rose or June asthma, and ipecac asthma.
Some people will get asthma from sleep
ing on a feather pillow; others as soon as
they come in contact with certain ami
mails, as dog, cat, or a squirrel. Pro
fessor Austin F1ints cannot sleep on a
feather pillow without getting asthma,
and so susceptible is he to it that he Is
able to detect the feathers when they are
placed under his pillow by persons
whose design it is to catch him on
his theory. Cases have come to notice
where the asthmatic symptom was
developed in men who happened to get
hold of blanket upon which q dog
had been sleeping the previous day.
Asthma may be symptom of empty
soma of the lungs, and may last for
weeks or even months. Two men who
were treated by me, one having nasal
polypus and the other stone in the blad-
der; both had asthma. To persons sus-
ceptible to it asthma is developed from
working in the dust around thrashing
machines, and others suffer from it as
soon as they enter an apothecary's shop
where ipecac is kept. Nor is dropsy any
thing but symptom of disease or re-
suit of it. Defined, generally, asthma is
a manifestation of disease of the nervous
system which causes contraction Of the
bronchial tubes. 1t may be seen as a
spasmodic contraction of the nerves, and
Of course may be symptom of heart
disease or some other disease. DIR. B. V.

The Colored PouIterer's Charm.

When q nestful of fluffy little chickens
are taking their first peep at the world
from under the mother hens wings, the
careful poulterer on the watch for such
welcome event will run hastily to the
nest with an empty sitter. This she will
shake over the brood; the empty sitter
lets through nothing, nor does it catch
anything, but shaken thus over the
"hatching nest" will be an efficacious
charm against all hawks or other birds
of prey: 'Dem sitter shuck chickens III
be too spry ter be cotch"-Eli Shepard

For a Good Mucilage.

For strong mucilage pulverize sepa-
rately about equal parts of gum arabic
and gum tragacanth; mix thoroughly
while dry, and then add sufficient water.
This is better mucilage than you can
get at the stationer's, is cheap, and will
keep for. a long time without anything
to preserve it. Gum arabic is too weak
and brittle for good mucilage, and gum
tragacanth, If used alone, only partly
dissolves, and remains in lumps.--''D.

Mortality of English Infants.

1t is said that 40 per cent. of all the
deaths from poison in Great Britain are
due to opium, and this rate of mortality,
according to DIR. Wynter Blythe, ''arises
in great measure from the pernicious
practice, both of hard working English
mothers and the baby farmer, of giving
infants soothing syrups,' infants
friends, and the like, to allay restless
ness and keep them asleep during the
greater part of their existence" 1t has
been calculated that one preparation
alone is the undoubted cause of death of
