physicians have done well in resorting as

that antipyrn is found to produce its
most marked effects, fac al neuralgias and

the initial Stage of locomotor irtaxia are
GAINED by it not less than by acetanilide,

The annexation to the United States of the
various countries lying to the north and south
and the ultimate union of all the countries OF
North and Central America, including the
West Indies, in one majestic nation has been
the cherished dream of Intelligent and philan.
thropic people in all the countries which would
be affected by such a combination The In.
fuenccs which are at work to bring about such
glorious result are not only most powerful
and incCssant, but gain In volume and force as
the years roll away. The natural conditions OF
the continent, the characteristics of the various
peoples, and the best interests Of all combine
to make such an event probable In the no very
distant future. The subject has Of tate been
brought more closely to the attention of the
public mind than ever before, and the agitation
of the question as relates to Canada, must
bring with it an earnest consideration of the
same question as affecting the other portions
of the continent.
When the destiny Of the North American
continent shall have thus been worked out and
the union accomplished, u nation will have
been established the like of which the world
never saw nor the historian imagined.
In the January number of The Western
World, illustrated, published at Chicago, will
appear an article upon this subject, with maps
and illustrations, setting forth at great length
and very thoroughly the reasons for anncxa-
ton and the benefits which would accrue to all
parties, and describing the various States
which would be added to the American galaxy,
the descriptions being accompanied by profuse
illustrations. Send ten cents to the publishers

great disorder the other day. 1t was
held in the parlors OF the presi-
dent, and was debating 1.-The Lady or
the Tiger. Whiohpn when one OF the
members sitting next to the window
gave fearful scream. Then ensued
an immediate panic. The cause of the
disturbance was a great big horrid
spider as large as q nutmeg that hung
suspended from the lace curtain SO
close to those sitting there that it could
have bitten them. 1t did't bite because
1t was made OF rubber and wire. But
it was a narrow escape for all those
defenseless women.
