following method of application IL suggested
in Swiss pharmaceutical Journal, and cer-
tainly has the merit of simplicity: A jug is
half filled with boiling water. into which .
teaspoonful of wsll-powdered camphor is
thrown. A funnsl-shaped paper cap is then
placed ON top Of tho jug, and hole torn in
1t just fitting the nose. The camphorated
steam Is inhaled through the nose for ten or
fifteen minutes, the inhalation being repeat
ed, If required, every four or ave hours. II
the patient resolutely persists with the in
halation, in spite of its unpleasantness, 1t is
said that three repetitions will always effect
a cure, however severe the coryza may be.
The socialistic press Of Germany is exhort-
ing all German workingmen to mako grand
demonstration on next May in favor of the
eSght-hour working day. Dozens of work
ingmen's organisations throughout the en-
pire have already made preparations In har-
mony with the sentiments of their organs.
They all will make May a holiday, and will
talk and act as much socialism then as the
NIT. A greatimpetus to the particular eight
hour movement Of 1890 in Germany as we'll
as in America and most other civilized coun-
tries was given by tho Congress of the Marx
lists at Paris last summer. They are strong
est in Germany and Austria. They have a
considerable hold also on the workingmen in
France, where they are generally known as
Guesdists.
They have been having lively discussion
of the question of corporal punishment in
the schools of Boston. It is evident that
some of the pupils need something more
effective than ga talking.to." In one school
district, and this not the worst one, within
short time dozen boys have been arrested
for stealing; one boy struck his teacher q
very heavy blow and nearly killed her;
another drew loaded bludgeon two feet
long and tried to strike three teachers calling
on the other boys to help him, and threaten
ing to "swipe out all the teaehers.' Three
boys within month have tried to kick the
lady teacher. Recently, boy in pri'
mary school drew a revolver upon his
teacher. At the present time eight boys ir
one primary school belong to ''Band Of

The San Francisco Examiner says thu
atmospheric conditions Of the deserts ani
high plateaus at certain seasons Of the yea
produce strange phenomena. The dr.
weather in Nevada has produced host o
giant dancers in Lyon county. These ap
pearances are puzzlers to all scientists. How
they brace up and hold together SO long is
mystery. On quiet, sunny day you see I
little handful of ssgebush soar aloft on
light breeze. Some more joins 1t, until it i
as big as your hat and then your body, ant
then sand and rocks and soil by the bushe
begin to roll into the mass from the ground
ascending upward like column. It is 500
as big a telegraph pole, and all the tim
gaining, and ere long Its top maybe reache
1000, maybe 5,8s0 feet. While you ar
watching this one probably three or fou
others will spring up, or half-dozen wi
come waltzing down from the upper end 9
the valley, having travelled probably twenty
five miles and torn up the soil like a stear
plow in their waltzing and zigzagging. The
tear up the hillsides, smash houses an
suck up men like waterspouts. They go t
pieces in az strange a way as they al
formed.
