OZGNA.
Ozoena is the professional or technical name
given to an sdvanced form of catarrh in which
| liberation has eaten through the membrane
lining of the nose to the cartilage of the bone.
Any case of catarrh may end in ozoena, but 1t
most frequently occurs in those who are
naturally scrofulous. The discharge takes
place through the nostrils or through the
throat, and is generally of yellowish or green
ish-yellow color, frequently unged " ith blood,
| and almost always attended by an offensive
smell. In the language OF DR.. Wood, OF Phila-
delphia, 1.-THE disease is one of the most OBJ
durate and disasreeable which the physician
has to encounter. In bad cases the breath of
the patient becomes so revolving as to isolate
him from society, and render him an object of
distrust even to himself"
In some instances pieces of bone become sep
arated and slough off, leaving deep, unhealthy
ulcers, which secrete a bloody matter, ana are
extremely difficult to heal
After ozena has continued some time the
| sense of smell becomes impaired and often lost.
Deafness is one of the most common conse-
quences and results from its extension through
the eustachian tube to the internal ear.

quently springs from its extension to the
brain.
The great danger, however, because the most
common is that it will extend downward and
| affect the lungs In most cas- of pulmonary
disease catarrh is present to some degree, and
in many instances 1t causes la ge share of the
patients discomfort.
| Besides these ave consequences, all of
which are liable to spring from scrofulous
cdtarry of ozoena, there are others which, If
| less dangerous, are sufficiently unpleasant. 1t

THE OCEANS BOTTOM.
Interesting Facts Disclosed by Submarine
Surveys.

Interesting Facts Disclosed by Submarine
Surveys.
Popular Science Monthly.
At meeting of the society OF tele-
graph engineers and electricians, recent
ly, Edward Stalabrass read paper on
deep sea sounding in connection with
submarine telegraphy. Mr.. Stalabrass
said the work of surveying with a view
to ascertaining the confguration of the
ocean bed previous to laying subma-
Tine cable was of vital Importance. Be
tween Cadiz and Tenerjffe alone, a dis
lance of about 700 miles, 673 soundings
were takan GA one expedition, resulting
IN the discovery of two banks, two coral
patches and four other shoal spots. Some
of the inclines near these banks where
remarkable for their steepness. On the
east side of ore of these the bottom fell
precipitously for 450 feet, and on
sounding taken by the Dacia during her
survey of the Seine bank, a precipice of
1900 feet was found. a map of the mouth
of the Congo showed a most remarkable
submarine gully, the contour lines of
which were drawn from 202 soundings,
many of these having been taken at in
tervals of less than one nile. In the
mouth of this. remarkable river a depth
of no lesss than 1852 feet was found, the
Thames IN similar locality giving only
about forty feet. The gully was dis
tinctly traced 100 miles out at sea. It
seems almost incredible that probably
one-half of the cables now lying at the
bottom of the ocean, amounting to value
represented by several millions sterling,
had been placed on their ocean bed while
carrying out the work were almost totally
ignorant of the bottom on which the
cables were destined to lie.

Why He Needed Prayer.
Arkansaw Traveller.

The congregation of church at Elk
Rock were much shocked upon learning
that their preacher had departed under
most discredioIe circumstances. On the
following Sunday it seemed to be the aim
of nearly everyone to hush up the scandal
and, under great restraint, many uninter-
esting conversations were held. merely to
prove that the members of the church
could rise above sensational gossip.
Just before the services were closed,
Brother Elijah p. Brookrod arose and
said:
Brethren and sisters, since we last met
in this house something which seems to
have cast a gloom over this congregation
has occurred. We were all attached to
our minister; in fact, we loved him, and
now ] propose that we offer up prayer
for the wanderer."
A sensational wave cFept over the au-
dience. Another brother arose, and,
turning to Elijah P. Brookroi, said:
81 am astonished that you should de-
sire this congregation to pray for our
erriDg minister, You above all others"
"'Why?"
Because he ran away with your wife"
eyes, I know" Elijah replied, ''and
that is the reason why I think that he
will need our prayers"

The Gaisha Girls of Japan.

Toxic Correspondence New York Tri-
bune: One of the classes of Japanese
women that In many ways is particularly
interesting Is that of the gaisha girls
These are said to be the only really vir-
tuous women In Japan. They are the ia
nous dancing girls of the Land of the
Shoguns; and anything more graceful
than these bundles of bright colors is not
In civilization. They are mostly petite
and generally young, sometimes OF more
than ten years old, yet they have an air,
dignity, certain solemn stateliness
that seems part of themselves, and is
heightened by their rich costumes. They
pose, they walk, they use their fans, they
ogle, they firt, they go through all the
first part of the national dance-Chou
Nug1 or Chou Kina-in way and with a
grace, that would bring tears of envy to
the eyes of court beauty of many sea
sons. Their clothes are always of the
richest stuffs and the embroidery is often
rare and costly. They take great pains
In their oblis, or sashes, and frequently
you see little three foot nothing morseI
of dancing femInity with an obi so large
that the upper end of the bow appears
above the head with comical effect. Be-
tween these delicate and attractive little
creatures and the big, coarse, obese
wrestlers there seems to exist b arange
kind of admiration. Every giasLa girl,
nearly, has her favorite, and for him she
works the finest embrodieries to grace
him if he be victor, or console him if he
be defeated. 1t resembles the feeling of
the feudal maiden who worked her knight
colors and watched him bear them we'll
and braVely in the merry joust.
Beyond this there is no romance in the
life of Japanese girl, no love making.
as we understand it; and consequently
the japanese novelist, is rather at dis

SPRINKLED WITH LOGS.

The Fragments of the Broken Raft a Menace
TO Ocean Steamships-Has the Britannia
Been Struck by Them
There are still no tidings of the missing
steamer Britannia, bound for New York
from Naples, with $50 italian storage
passengers, and now long overdue. Mr..
Ter Kuile, the general passenger agent
in New York, says that his great fear is that
the steamer had been struck by some of
the logs from the great Leary raft and
was either lying at 5ne bottom of the At
lantic Or had been totally disabled and
was now drifting at the mercy of the wind
and waves. The report of the steamship
Venice shows that the logs have baen
seen even in midocean. They are scatter
ed far and wide, in fact, and in a storm
would prove worse than battering rams if
hurled at a vessel by an ocean billow.
Mr.. Ter Kuile Gaid the Britannia after
leaving Gibraltar, on December %, must
have steered directly for the Azores, and
from there her course would be almost
direct fol New York He added that
Captain Parrzo was an experienced sea-
man and a very careful navigator.
