Catarrhal De2fncsS-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustach!an tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be a fact, and
the result Of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. II. Dixon 4 Son, cor. of John

The other day one of the customers
in a Lewiston, Me, dry goods store
failed TO get her purchases, and she
appeared at the store next morning in
a ferment. Here, Guy" said the
proprietor, take this lady's bundle
right home with her"
The lady preceded the boy out OF
the store, and walking along 10 the
curbing stepped into the wagon stand
ing there. The boy took the blanket
off the horse, unhitched him and
jumped in. Al the watering trough
on one of the streets the horse seemed
TO want TO drink, and the clerk said
Shall | give the horse a drink"
Yes" said the lady. give the old
horse a drink" and the horse drank.
Arriving at the lady's house, the
clerk looked for the stable and said:
What shall | do with the horse3
Shall tie him up2"
Sure" was the reply. Il don't
care what you do with him. He's not
my horse. Amt he yours2"
To say that the boy was astonished
is TO tell only half the truth. He was
frightened. Taking a philosophic
view Of it, he reasoned hat very likely
the police were on his track. Instead
Of returning by n direct road TO the
store, lie took u roundabout way. In
the meantime the owner had notified

search for the animal, only TO find il

the train while it was in motion. In

hours. The accident took place at Q
o'clock in the morning, and at day
light n brother of tho dying man

Talking of adjutant birds, l heard
a good story from Mr.. Richards of the
Baptist mission at Lukolela. II seems
that Mr.. Comber of the same mission
used to keep a tame adjutant at Lutete
Tor Wathen) station, which roamed
about the station, with clipped wings,
in company with monkeys, parrots
and other pets, among them a kitten
belonging TO Mr.. Comber. One day
this kitten was heard mewing pite-
ously, though it was nowhere to be
seen. At last, noticing that the sounds
appeared to be proceeding from the
adjutant, who was standing with his
beak wide open, as though engaged in
swallowing something, with an Of
fort, Mr.. Comber walked up TO him,
and looking down his throat saw the
end of the kittens tail about to disap-
pear. Thereupon he grasped the tail
and hauled tho kitten out still alive.
Mr.. Richards told me that the truth
of this story had been doubted in Eng
land for my part L see no reason to
disbelieve it, and would recommend
those who do TO pay n visit to the Zoo
and inspect the ad~jutants there. Those
! have seen on the Congo held their
heads as high as q tall man and had
beaks and throats Of enormous capa-
city, adapted-liko those Of ~pelicans

Efe-to tho catching and swallowing

tant, | am told, on another occasion
swallowed a small dead monkey en-
tire. AS for the kitten-it is a well
known fact that cats have nine livesl

youthfui French Criminals.

OF &c, 600 criminals arrested in Paris
in the course of the year-the figure
itself seems incredibly large-f6 q, 900
had not attained tho ago OF 20. There
is just now an epidemic of CRIMES of
violence perpctrated by young men,
and if the thieves and as~sassinsat pres
ent confined in French prisons were
sorted according TO their age it would
be found that the very large majority
were made up of youths between 16
and 20. These statistics were supplied
by the prosecuting counsel in the last
Judicial sensation that has come before
the Paris courts, and the course of
the trial supplied the explanation of
the fact. 1t was a murder case of cx-
traordinary brutality. The victims
were an old woman of rs and her
lodger, the organist of the parish
church, an old man of 20. The Grim
inal was the son of the parish beadle,
and the motive for the murder was
mere theft. The house was broken.
into ut night, tho old man struck down
and left for dead on Tho staircase, and
then the old woman brutally muir
dercd. The hoardings of both-a few
hundred francs-were carried off, and
the thief arrested in bed the same day
with the money in his possession and
his clothes stained with blood. At the
trial it was proved that a long career
of crime eliminated in this horrible
and mercenary outrage-the evidence
was convincing, and the jury found
the murderer Guilty with extenuat
ing circumstances" To English read
ers the verdict seems ineonceivable.
Even for French readers it has TO be
explained, and the explanation adds to
the difficulty. The prisoner was only
Is. He had long, fair hair, blue eyes,
and the face of a young girl. No
wonder the French prisons are full of

IN HE RIeH1 DIRECTION.
The Step Taken by Columbia Conege-A
Special Course In Electricity.

The Step Taken by Columbia College,
Special Course In Electricity.
Columbia College, New York, has
decided to have q special course in
electrical science, and not n moment
too soon, for this has long been seer
TO be a department by itself, and,
while allied to other branches Of nat
ural philosophy, requiring, ut least
from those who would adopt il as a
profession, an undivided attention.
Because of this il is TO be made n
postgraduate course of one, two or
three years, thus allowing those who
have completed the rudimentary stud
les in electricity and magnetism in the
school of mines and outsiders with
elemental experience TO continue their
studies. The proposed course will con
sist in practical work, construction of
lamps, dynamos, primary and second
airy batteries, insulation and installa-
ton OF the plant, and, of course, in
vestigation OF the phenomena Of cleo
trioity.
There is that called theory" and
that called practice" and while one
may be had without the other, no man
may justly consider himself an cleo
trician who is not familiar with both.
In all the large electrical shops, as in
the engineering ones. experience has
been had with men schoolcd only in
the theory Of their work, and though
it is an invaluable capital 70 commence
practical work with, il has not been
found infallible i'll the making of a
first rate workman, while in some
shops they prefer n slight acquaint-
ance with practical work, if the man
fe int,11inopt a,l nI,,vtn,,, 10 n laa1
of theory where the latter is allied
with over confidence. On the other
hand, il is hard 10 find n shop bred
man. let him be ever so skillful, who
does not sorely regret his lack Of theo-
retical knowledge. Few such men
can draught their own designs or make
their own calculations; often witness
ing phenomena while experimenting,
or during the course of their labors,
which, were they read in tho natural
laws, those that have been formulated,
they could perhaps appreciate ard re-
produce.
A workshop, laboratory and lecture
room, such as II is designed 10 place
at the disposal of the electrical depart
mento of Columbia college, ought TO be
sufficient 10 turn out men capable of
original investigation; men at least
capable of taking n responsible posi-
ton in the practical work in the mer-
camille field; who can design and
work or s%uperintend work from their
own drawings. In a practical age like
this, that would seem To be the most
valuable college instruction which
most nearly resembles what its recip-
tents are looked 10 TO accomplish out
side of it-Scientinc American.

Upsti-Yes, that is word for word

Fogg-And speaking of cavalry re
minds me that il is the custom on the
plains for the men TO ride with their
faces to the horses tails, in order that
the enemy may not advance too closely
TO their rear.
Upstir-I saw that in the paper the
other day.
Fogg-It is a very interesting fact
that on the plains the men fire.
quently become lost in the thick for
ests which everywhere abound; n
squadron Of horse has been known to
wander for years, without food or
water, vainly endeavoring TO cxtricate
themselves. The trees on the plains,
you must know, grow to an immense
height and arc so close together that
it is impossible for n snake TO pass be-

growths, must suffer untold agony

A Stone with Peculiar qualities.


Tho Washington Star gives an in
~teresting account of a stone belonging
TO the chief clerk of tine war depart,
ment. 1t weighed about q pound. and
was perhaps ID inches in length, % in
width, and ] of an inch thick. On
picking it up from the desk, when his
attention was called to it, a reporter
noticed that it bent slightly at the
ends, and had the feeling of an elastic
substance. On removing the wrapper,
however, it was seen to be n hard,
compact piece of sandstone, of q light
yellow color, with the ends cut to
points. The texture of the stone was
fine, and presented no evidence of
qualification, and was smooth over
the entire surface. A knife blade made
no impression on the particles. There
was no doubt as to its being a genuine
stone, but it, nevertheless, possessed
the ~flexibility of a piece of India rub
Der. When taken in the hand and
shaken in the direction of its flat sur
face it would bend back and forth
with n dull muiiled sound. The
movement was more of a laxity in the
adhesion, apparently, than an elasti
city. When held horizontally by one
end the other would drop and remain
in that position. With the two ends
supported on rests, the free center
could be pressed half an inch below
the middle line. With one end held
firmly on the desk the other could be
bent upward over an inch. The
movement was not confined TO the one
direction-in the plane of The flat.sur
faces-but the entire stone seemed to
be constructed on the principle of an
universal joint, with Il movement per,
ceptible in all directions under pres
