INDIANAPOLIS, March 2.
The volume of trade in the week closing to-day

NASAL HEADACHES.
Some of Their Causes and Remedies.

Some OF Ine1r CauS0S anu N0uOOI0Ss
Headaches are caused by morbid condi
lions more commonly elsewhere than in the
brain. Permanent relief is to be obtained
in such cases not by application to the head
or by thu use of drugs that blunt the sense
Of pain, but by removal of che cause.
Says Doctor Roe, of Rochester, N. Y, to
whom we are indebted in the preparation OF
this article: ''There is no affection that has
SO many different types, nor one which is
caused by 80 great variety OF bodily con-
ditions.'' According to Doctor Day, of En-
gland, there is none which more severely
taxes the experience of the physician.
1t is only recently that knowledge OF
the abundant nervous connection of the
nose with the other parts of the system,
and the nearness of it's chambers to the
brain, led the medical profession to suspect
the nasal origin of many headaches.
This origin Is generally 10 some abnormal
pressure on the nerve tiIaments in the
nasal chambers, in consequence OF con
gestion of their walls, or morbid growth
of bone, or detection, or bend OF the ma
sal partition.
When it results from an engagement of
the passages a simple puncture will gen.
orally relieve the headache. A pressure
from abnormal bony growth causes more
constant pain. Dr.. Roe adduces many cases
of headaches from this source which have
readily yielded to treatment. We have
room for only three, and these we give only
in meager outline.
Mr.. A. k, fifty years old, had had
headache, increasing in severity. for four
teen years. The pain had become so per-
sistent, and his mind was SO affected, that
he feared softening of the brain. Examina-
ton showed pressure from IN abnormal
bony ridge. An operation Immediately re-
lieved the headache and restored him to full
health.
Mr. E. R had for year and half
suffered somewhat similarly. and was
forced to give up work. In his case, also,
there was pressure caused BY bony ridge
and marked hypertrophy of he tur5inated
bones His whole condition was much re-
duced. An operation quit. relieved the
psin, and rapidly improye& his condition.
He has had no trouble since-
Mrs. ]. X had had frequent and Sc
we're headaches for four years, and hay

SWITZERLAND IN WAR.
Tho Military Importance of the Little
Central European Republic.

The Military Importance OF the Little
Central European Republic.
The Italian General, Clemente COrte,
writing to the Adriatico of Venice,
speaks as follows of the part that
Switzerland may have to play in the
next war in Europe:
II firmly believe that the Swiss
army, or. mnre properly speaking the
Swiss nation, must have gained COM
paratively in military power more
than other nations. This opinion is
formed upon the high national senti-
ment that animates the Swiss people,
their virile and patriotic education,
their long traditional personal service,
their training in the use of the rifle.
and the great confidence which they
have in their arms and in the natural
defenses of the country. In my opin-
ion, the Swiss, if they are united and
compact, are invulnerable in the up
per portion of their country. And it
must not be forgotten that in this por-
ton they dominate the Rhone. the
Rhine and the Tessin. A German
army that would have Switzerland with
it could easily threaten Lyons and
turn the defensive works recently con-
structed by the French parallel with
the Vosges. But, on the other hand.
French army that could count upon
the aid of the Swiss would be able
from the Lake Constance to turn all
the defenses of the Germans on the
borders of the Rhine and threaten the
upper valley of the Danube 1t could
also fall upon Italy by the routes OF
Simplon, St. Gothard and the Grisons.
Il have never been able to cOmpre
bend the badly concealed menaces OF
Germany against the Swiss neutrality.
because it seems to me that to attack
the Swiss in their own country consti-
tutes problem before which the Ger
man army might we'll hesitate. partic-
ularly as a few weeks resistance on
the part of those mountaineers would
be sufficient to permit French army
| to.come to their assistance. Now, the
French army that would be the master
of the routes of Switzerland could, in
nv opinion. offer insurmountable diff
culties for even the triple alliance
| 1t is true that the allies would have
considerable forces. But could they
act together? And would not the
great number be in itself difficulty
when it would be necessary to operate
| in a mountainous country whose de-
| tenders could take advantage OF the
good roads of the interior.
1T is beyond a doubt that In the
present state of Europe. with the triple
alliance on the one hand and the taci'
or apparent union of France and Rus
STA on the other, the military action Of
Switzerland must exercise prepon-
Gerant influence upon the result OF the
war in case the confederation should
be compelled 70 abandon its NEUTRAL
iN."

When 1t Was Conducted Without Any
Sort of System.
Baron Stockmar relates that the pail
ace was in the charge OF three separate
each of which moved
along its own predestined track with
out any sort of unity or prearrange-
ment. 1t was not decided which
parts of the palace belonged respect
lively to their control. In the time OF
George I'LL the Lord Steward had the
custody of the whole palace excepting
the royal apartments, drawlng-rooms.
etc. In the next two reigns 1t was
held that the whole OF the ground
floor, including halls and dining
rooms, was in his charge. at the be-
ginning of the present reign the Lord
Steward surrendered to the Lord
Chamberlain the grand hall and other
rooms on the ground floor. but 1t was
a question quite in the clouds to whom
the jurisdiction of the kitchens. scul-
leries and pantries belonged. The
outside of the palace pertained to the
Department of the Woods and Forests
One result of this arrangement was
that, while the Lord Chamberlain
could clean the inside of the windows
he could not clean the outside, and
negotiations had to be carried on to
secure that the operations within and
without should be conducted at the
same time. The housekeepers. pages
and housemaids were under authority
of the Lord Chamberlain; the foot
men, livery porters and underbutlers
under that of the Master of the Horse.
while the clerk of the kitchen, the
cooks and porters were under the
Jurisdiction of the Lord Steward. Ii
was the duty of the Lord Steward to lay
the fires and of the Lord Chamberlain
to light them. The Lord Chamber
lain had to provide the lamps and the
Lord Steward to keep them in order.
If a pane of glass in the scullery
wanted mending requisition had TO
be prepared and signed by the chief
cook; it was then countersigned BY
the clerk of the kitchen, then taken to
be signed by the master Of the house

berIain, by whom it was authorized.

WAYS. Given an education and position IN
refined society, and he might have been an
ornament to it, but as it was he would prob
ably remain a rough diamond for life
The young minister kept on his way after
the departure of the lumbermen, preachinS
to the remainder, making earnest efforts TO
help them, and raise both souls and bodies
to q higher level Many OF them had been
we'll educated and trained by careful
parents. but in coming away from civlilza-
ton and its restraining influences they hao
left their characters behind them and en-
tered into the rough life of the lumber camp
as if to the manner born, and Mr.. Esmond
saw with unspeakable regret men who were
capable of better things going Ola the tide
of profanity and wild dissipation and leav-
ing their better nature uucUltvated.
There were but few women in the camp.
and these were not of a class to elevate or
soften their associates. with one exception.
and that was the minister's wife, gentle
Mary Esmond. and she strove in every way
to uplifs and bring to her'own level those
poor souls who were so miscrably drifting
into coarseness and sin.
Mr.. Esmond did not preach harsh
gospel. and carried out to the letter Paul's
idea and became all things to all men, hep
ing that by those means he might be able
to reach some, and his gentle wife supple
mented his preaching with her sympath!
and influence.
