Catarrh is an Inflammation of the mucous
membranes. and may affect the head. throat.

of the head is the most common. often COM

before the nature Of the trouble is suspected.
Catarrh is caused by cold. or succession
of colds combined with impure blood. It's
local symptoms are u sense of fullness and
heat in the forehead. dryness in tho nos
aud back part of the throat. and u ~disagrec-
able discharge from the nose. When tho
disease gains u firm hold ON tho system. it
becomes chronic. M is then exceedingly
dangerous and trcachcrous. liable to de-

Electrical Effects ON Trees.

Observers in many of the small cities
blessed with shade trees, says a west
crn paper. have noticed that those
trees near the electric lights have been
blighted by something, and for the
lack of some more apparent cause they
ascribe the trouble to the lights.
Very likely they are right, as trees
need darkness in order to remain in
pefect health, just as much as men
need sleep. Trees Mt a little distance
from the lights suffer proportionately
less than those close beneath the glare.

increasing the Weixht of Rails.

Most railroads in this country, when
renewing their rails, order heavier ones
than have previously been used on
their tracks. A better roadbed and
heavier rails are required for increas-
ing traffic, heavier locomotives and
greater speed. A short time ago the
standard weight of rails was tifty-six
poundsp per yard, requiring Lightweight
tons per mile of single track. AS a
sixty-five pound rail takes a little over
100 tons per mile of single track. al
though only nine pounds per yard
heavier than q fifty-six pound rail, it
is easy to see that the tonnage of rails
manufactured during the year is stead
lily increasing to An enormon extent.

The Fermentation Theory.

This new theory Of life in death and
death in life is attracting much attention
among the scientific, and is being care
fully studied. Briefly stated, the idea is
that life is Instrumentation and death a
putrefaction. The fermentation is a
chemical action constantly going on in
our bodies. Digestion is a fermentation,
the oxidation of the blood is another fer
mentation, and thus life is maintained.
But the fermentation, chemical action
itself. is considered in the new scheme
to be carried on by millions of microbes,
infinitesimaI living organisms. The re-
suit of fermentation Is putrefaestcHHn'. 1llt
the moment fermentation is ended, mill
ions of other living organisms appear.
From the putrefied mass new set OF
creatures are developed, getting their
life and growth from the dead remains.
Indeed, there can hardly be said to be
any dead remains, so full of infinitely
working microbes is all matter, in any
state whatsoever.
So, between these two forces, man
moves like planet around the sun. The
fermentive microbes build him up, the
putrefactive organisms disintegrate him.
Between the two the balance of life is
maintained. If either force is in excess,
death ensues. The fermentation pro-
duces heat, and is slow burning. AL
the universe seems organized on the
principle of two opposing forces in equi-
ibrium.

Irrigable Lands.

The line of sufficient rainfall in the
United States is taken to be the Tooth
meridian of longitude. 1t passes through
Texas, leaving one-third Of the state to
the westward, also through Kansas, leav-
ing one-quarter of the state west Of the
line Thence to the northward, it di-
vides Nebraska and the Dakotas nearly
in the middle.
All the land east of this line is sup
posed to be watere:l by rain enough not
to need irrigation. West of the line the
soil must be artifcially watered as far
as the Rocky mountains. There are also
spots west of the Rockies that require it.
The arid area includes 100000 acres
in Montana, $4,000, 000 in Idaho, 10000
900 in California New Mexico, Arizona
and Nevada are some of the other dis
tricts that will come in for their share
of benefits under the United States irri-
cation acts.
California has already 5000, 900 acres
under irrigation.

The Size OF Them.

The empire Of Brazil is nearly as large
out Aliska-but has only rs many peo-
pie as the three combined states of New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. In fact,
all the Central and South American
countries put together have only sc, O00,-
600 inhabitants-10,0 900, 900 less than the
United States. 1t is no wonder, there
fore, that with their good climate and
marvellous unlevelopel resources they
should use every inducement to attract
population. The only persons to whom
the climate proves unhealthy seem to be
those who try to stir up revolution.
Mexico is somewhat smaller than that
part of the United States east of the Mis-
sissippi river, and has 10000, 900 inhabit-
ants. The Argentine Republic is half
as large as the United States and has a
population of 3.026OOO, less than the
state of Pennsylvania by a million and a
quarter. Colombia, as large as six aver
age states of this Union combined, has a
population of perhaps $4,000. Bolivia,
Per Venezuela and Ecuador are not
4 ferent from Colon bia in size, and
each popli, ranging fspm
lightly over 100000 to 2,250,O00.
Ecuador is the most thinly populated,
having only little more than million in
habitants. Chilli is smaller, being only
as large as New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio combined, but she has over g.
100000 people. The Chilians are called
the Yankees of South America.

Which Twin Is the Older?

There is one historic question nobody
will now ever be able to decide-that is,
whether North or South Dakota came
into the Union first.
Naturally the proclamation first re-
ceiving the presidents signature would
claim to take its state into the Union
first. But this question of priority was
got around in the state department in an
ingenious manner. The two proclama-
tions announcing that North and South
Dakota were in the Union were brought
to Mr.. Harrison for his signature. They
were shuff1ed like cards, then laid face
downward upon table. They were
next turned face upward, the presidents
face being turned away, and all of each
covered except the space where the sig
nature was to he affixed
The president signed. The ink was
dried, then the two were shuffled again.
The secretary mixed them babies up
SO thoroughly that nobody till judgment
day will be able to tell which was which,
Thus we shall never know which is the
older state. President Harrison is a
Presbyterian, and good one, but in this
case he resorted to game of chance.

Why "Bore?" could get no explanation.
One man said because it 'bores out the chan
nell" another thought it was so called be-
cause it was a ''bore" to the captain whose
vessel is caught by it, The last strikes me as
correct. for vessels of 1000 tons burthen
come ND to Mopcton on high tide, while mud
scows are grounded at low. Coming in, the
captains are at ease; going out they watch
every motion, for if they get aground they
must remain there till the next high tide
And then it is chance, for they may stick
N tie mud" ''lie down." and get in a bad
mess generally. not long ago a small schoon'
err was caught away from the wharf, and by
the incoming flood carried up against the
railroad bridge and knocked to pieces. So
they are quito correct in calling it the
Bore"
From Moncton to St. John the country i'm
proved every mile, and the latter city was a
lively revelation to me- 1t may almost claim
to be the Liverpool of North America. Its
capacious harbor open all the Year, presents
a fine array of vessels, and the published fig
ures as to its commerce and the shipping
owned by it's citizens are quite startling
"St. John owns more shipping than any other
city of its size in the world" so say its citi-
GEMS SO says the gazetteer, and SO we shall
have to believe till the contrary is proved.
In the city proper are perhaps $4,000 peo-
pie: in Portland, the big suburb, 10000 more
and the river st. John, which runs between,
is distinguished by a double cascade" A
rocky reef crosses the river there; when the
tide is in there is cascade up stream; when
the tide is out there are ''falls" down stream.
At high tide (twenty-three feet high there is
smooth water and largo vessels pass safely
over the reef. And all the rest of this sort
of thing you can find in any Canadian hand
book
