Politieians Fighting a Pos1mi.tress.

Special 10 the Sunday Morning Netcs.
ORANGE. Nov. 80, 1889. There is the
hveliest kind Of row going on at East
Orange over the postmastership The
present incumbent is Miss Mary Z. Sim
onson, a charming young lady twenty
three years old, who by her amiahle man
ners and efficient management of the
office has won the admiration OF the
larger part of the residents of the town.
She was appointed by President
Cleveland and her term expires on
known family of East Orange, and her
salary, $1,000, goes to the support of her
father and mother. AS an evidence of
the personal satisfaction which Is felt
among people who patronize the Office 1t
can be stated that petitions gotten up. for
the appointment Of a Republican partisan
to succeed Miss Simonson were refused
signatures by Republican residents.
There are several aspirants for the po-
sition among them W. H. Baldwin, who
is the candidate of Ex-Assemblyman
Henry a.. Potter, and S. H. Long, a vet
eran of the late war. Potter is looking
after the Republican nomination for Con-
gress next year, and his desire Is TO build
his fences now.
Last Monday evening about seventy
i've gentlemen responded to invitations
sent out by Potter for the purpose of as
sistfng the Executive Committee in choos-
ing postmaster for recommendation to
Congressman Lehlback.
The general feeling among the Repub-
cans of the township is that the meeting
was out of order and calculated to cause
jealousies and hard feelings, not only
among the candidates for the Office, but
among the many Republicans of the
township who were not invited but
equally entitled to voice in the proceed
ings with those who were called" by Mr..
Potter.

Insects In tho Ear.

Dr.J. Herbert Claiborne, Jr., talking in the
Medical Classics about removing insects from
the ear, expresses the belief that 81 sweet oil
is perhaps the best thing to keep the in
sect from moving. That is tho first desid-
eratum. The oil, by its thick consistence,
will SO entangle and bedraggle the Insects
legs and wings that the intoleraole noise
will be stopped If oil be not at hand use
any liquid that is not poisonous or corrosive
Water will probably be within the reach OF
every one This is also more liable to float
him out, too. than either sweet oil or glycer-
ine 1t has been suggested to blow tobacco
smoke in the ear to stupefy the insect. We
can not indorse this advice;. tobacco smoke
blown into the ear of a Child has been known
to cause alarming symptoms. When the
movements of the intruder have been ar
rested syringe the ear gently with warm
water. All manner of insects and bugs
have been found in the ear, but you can
never tell in given case who the rude
caller is knocking at the door Of your brain
until you have him out"

The Deadly Cigarette.

During discussion in the American Asso-
citation. Prof w. s. Dudley described some
experiments which he had made on the in
furious effects of cigarette He
showed that they were principally due to the
manner Of smoking and not to the impurl'
ties. as is currently supposed. In smoking
cigarettes, to get the desired effect the
smoke is inhaled, that is to say, it is
breathed into the lungs; whereas, in smok.
ing pipes and cigars, the smoke IS simply
drawn into the mouth and then expelled.
In experiments on small animals. in which
they are caused to breathe air containing
cigarette smoke, it was found that after
mouse had smoked one and one-fourth cigar
Cues life was extinct. Examinations OF its
blood showed that it had died from the: Ell
iects of the carbon monoxide, which was

SPINAL DISEASE CURED.
A. Mans Life Saved by - Delicats Surgica


Tho spine is wel-known to be one OF the
most important parts of the body, writes
the New York correspondent Of the
ST.. Louis Globe Democrat. 1t contains
that vital prolongation of the brain known
as The spinal cord, on the functions OF which
every motion and sensation Of the body de-
ponds. One of the most fatal and painful
diseases is spinal complaint. Itn1ay be said
to be almost invariably fatal, but, like ell
such diseases, cases are now and then
cured by the surgeon--:psrhaps more by
good luck than science. The following case
is given rise to considerable discussion: TN.
P,' a Swede, aged twenty-one, was adj
United into st. Luke's Hospital on March
6 last. He was suffering from we'll
marked case Of spinal complaint. The pa
tient came under tho care Of DR.. r. P. Kin
nicutt, who, after watching him carefully
several weeks. came to the conclusion that
spinal cord itself, which was causing the
disease. He was thought to BIS beyond the
surgeons skill, and medical treatment to
paliate his sufferings and make life more
bearable while it lasted was all that could be
done at the time. by the middle of May the
patient had improved in health, and we'll
defined tumor had made IT'S appearance at
the small Of his back. AS this grew it
caused paralysis Of the lower extremities
ard great pain in the back.
On May rs the patient was seen by Profs.
Seguin Bull, Weir. Ridlcn and Peters, all
eminent specialists in such diseases. The
outcome Of their consultation was the recon-
mendation Of an operation. On May 20 the
patient was etherized and an incision six
inches in length was made Oh the left side
OF and half an inch from the spine, COM
mcncing opposite the sixth dorsal vertebrae
and terminating at the twelfth. The tissues
were divided down to the bone. The tunor
was carefully dissected and found to be
about eight inches across IN its largest part
and of q tumiform shape. It was cut open
and found to contain about two ounces OF g
cheesy-yellow tuberculous matter. Portions
of the eighth, ninth and tenth dorsai verte"
bre were removed with q rongeur forceps,
revealing mass of dense connective tissue
and broken-down material, which occupied
nearly the entire diameter Of the spinal
canal and pressing the spinal cord against
the anterior wall This impediment was
thoroughly removed with sharp Volk-
mann spoon. The bodies Of the vertebraa
were carefully examined and all signs of
tuberculous disease removed. The aper-
ture was then washed with an antiseptic
solution and closed, ali the csvities having
first been stuffed with iodoform gauze. The
patient made good recovery in five weeks.
but has been kept IN the hospital since the
operation, so that his case might be careful

A High-Breu skye Terrier Goes CRAZY

A High-Breu skye Terrier Coca Crazy
Over 81 Carpet Pattern.
The novelty OF dog afflicted with mono
zaania is exhibited in she case OF a high-bred
skye terrier owned by lady On jefferson
street not far from Twenty-dfil,, says the
Philadelphia Press. The animal was I'M
ported to this country short time ago,
and is wonderfully intelligent and rational
III every respect pertaining to an aristocrat~
&c Dogs nature, with the exception of cue
mental failing. The cog was presented TO
it's present mistress about two months ago.
The lady is tie possessor Of two pet dogs,
but the last one was immedia.5eAy in
stalled ms favorite on account OF its su-
psrior intelligence. The parlor floor Of the
lady's house is covered with an Administer
carpet OF a very unique design in which
there are curious flowers and running
vines,
In short time after the dogs admission
to its new home it was noticed that this
carpet had curious attraction for her. She
would sit in chair by the half hour and in
tently study the design of the carpet
When her attention was drawn from this
study, however, she would apparently for
get the carpet for the time being and en-
terrain admirers with many cute and gro
tesque tricks.
As the time wore on, however,, the fascina-
ton for, the carpet increased She no longer
studied it from chair, but traced out the
design with her nose close to the floor, after
the fashion Of hound following a trail
The mania increased steadily until now she
is confirmed monomaniac. tits almost inn
possible to entice or drive her from the room.
She reluctantly spares enough time from
her study to cat her meals, and every hour
OF the day and as long as the gas is lit she
follows the bent Of her diseased mind. That
the disease is progressive is shown by the
feet that within the past week the dog has
conceived the idea that the flowers In the
carpet are imbued with life end now she
makes frantic efforts to catch the flowers
with her paws and mouth. In these antics
she is very much like cat in pursuit of
game. She crouches and fixes her eyes on
q certain flower and after watching it in
tently for few moments makes q spring
and attempts to pick it up with her teeth
When she fails in catching the chimera she
looks surprised for q moment, chances sus-
piciously at any one in the room, and then
resignedly resumes her chase OF the Elusive
flowers.
The curious part of the case is that, al
though there are other carpets in the house
with fowery designs, none Of them interest
her but the one in the parlor.
The dogs mistress intends sending the
pet to some expert for the purpose Of see
ing whether cure can be effected, and it
not she will send the dog to the country in
the hope that chan ge Of scene will restore
it's mental equilibrium.

Consumption of Feathers.

The annual consumption Of feathers in
this country for bedding purposes is said to
amount to 5000, 600 pounds, or 375 carloads.
To furnish this 100000 healthy geese must
give up their feathers in year. The geese
furnishing these downy pillows and beds OF
ease are to be found mainly in Southern
Illinois, in Missouri, in Arkansas, Tennessee
and Kentucky: The climate is cold enough
to cause the feathers to be fine and soft, and
not too cold to make their care matter OF
Improbable labor to farmers. Below this
territory the feathers are gully and free
from down. Above, the cold winters make
geese farming Improbable, for when the
goose can't find food for herself because OF
frozen land and water, she has to be fed,
and she'll eat as much corn as sheep.
