it is then most prevalent. It can alway S
be prevented, if properly treated as
soon as the first symptoms appear.
Hoarseness is the first symptom; this is
soon followed by peculiar, rough
cough. If hamoerIain's Coug b Rene

CATARRH,
Catarrhal Deafness and Hay Foyer.
A NEW HOME TREATMENT.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or thas Shey
are due to the presence of living parasites in
the lining membrane Of the nose End Gus
tachian tubes. Microscopic research, how
ever, has proved this to be fact and the
result is that simple remedy has been for
mulated whereby catarrl, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications made
at home by the patient once IN two weeks.
II. B.-For catarrhal discharges peculiar TO
females (whites) this remedy is a specific.

THE master mechanic of one of the
shop divisions of the Wabash road re-
Gently issued an order to the effect that
all shop apprentices taken into the SER
vice of that road in future must have
passed the eighth grade examination in
the public schools: The reasons for
this are apparent. 1t has been OBJ
served, not only by this particular mas
ter mechanic, but by employers in other
industries, that boys who have received
thorough elementary education are
better prepared to learn mechanical
vocation than those whose education
has been more limited. They learn
more rapidly the details of their trade.
They are more observant, more indus
trious, and withal, geutlemauly in their
intercourse with their superiors and
their fellows. Such an Endorsement,
coming from the ''shops," is encour-
aging.

THE ELECTRICAL AGE.

We are living in an age Of marvellous
developments. Every department OF
human activity is strained to invent
new applications of latent power or i'm
prove on present methods. There Is a
nervous tension to discover new fields
of energy, to subdue the elements over
and under ground, and make them obe-
dent to the will of man. Every year
adds something to the sum OF human
comfort and happiness, placing at our
disposal new and startling applications
of mechanical arts and sciences, which
would be considered a quarter of CEN
tury ago as trenching on the mlracu-
lOus. But this age is optimistic, and
strange things create but mOmentary
surprise.
No field OF activity and ingenuity af-
fords such a wide range Of possibilities
as electricity. Its scope is seemin gly
b0undless. From the time Franklin
demonstrated with his kite that atmos-
pheric electricity could be chained and
made subservient to man, till Morse
sent the telegraph message, "What
God hath wrought" there was little
progress in electrical science. The peo-
pie OF that age were not prepared for
the wonderful changes that man has
since wrought. The perfection OF the
telegraph on land and sea, the tele-
phone. the phonograph, electric light
ing in its various forms, electric rail-
ways and the application of electricity
as a motive power, are all the gift of
genius to the present age. And yet we
are only ON the threshold Of boundless
possibilities. In its application to the
industries II is practically in its infancy.
No man can measure its resources or
prophesy Its future. One thing is oer-
tain, 1t 10 the mental aud material
light ss we'll as the motive power OF the
world.

IN AN OLD cHuRcHYARo.
Chambers Journal.

Chambers Journal.
In one of England's sweetest spots,
A little old gray church found;
Around ii lies-dear restful ground
Gods garden with its sacred plots.
With myriad arms the ivy holds
It's time-wOrn walls in close embrace,
So Memory sometimes keeps face
Half-veiled In tender misty folds.
With sleepy twitter and with song
The tower, bird-haunted. is alive;
In leafy seas they dip and dive,
hose tiny warblers all day long.
Like sentinels grown hoar with age,
OThe crumbling headstones guard the graves
That softly swell-green voceless waves
That will not break though tempests rage.
Concerning them that are asleep"
In this sweet hamlet of the dead,
In broken sentences i read
The record those old tablets keep;
Each told its tale, for hath not Grief
A voice whose echoes never diet
Adown the ages. Rachels cry,
Still rings DER some God-garnered sheaf.
Mine eyes. ne'er prodigal Of tears,
Did fill with such as seemed TO rise
And drown the glory Of the skies,
Der those who'd slept two hundred years.

THE death Of the famous Laura
Bridgman, just announced from Boston,
calls to mind the history of that re-
markable persons When two years of
age she lost sight and hearing, due to
severe illness. Her sense of smell and
taste were destroyed, her speech was
impaired, and Of her five senses only
that Of touch remained. The edu-
cation of Laura ,Bridgman, begun
at her eighth year by the late
DR.. S. G. Howe, So that she could
express her thoughts intelligently and
receive external impressions and COM
munications, was the work of saving q
soul from everlasting night. The sue
cess of this task demonstrated the pro-
gress science had made in the education
of unfortunates deprived of one or more
of the five senses. The Laura Bridgman
case has excited the admiration and
wonder of the scientific world. She has
been made the study of psychological
and medical research, and considerable
light has been shed upon the mysteries
of life through the sixty years. existence
ofthis unfortunate woman.

ABOUT PUBLIC PARKS.

The extension of our park system has
become matter of imperative neces-
sity. The only problem with which our
park commission is wrestling is how to
devise the ways and means for the pur-
chase OF lands, and on what scale
these parks shall be laid out.
Before any steps are taken toward the
acquisition Of lands that are to be con-
verted into parks and boulevards, the
commission very properly desires to
ascertain how tax-paying citizens feel
with regard to park extension and
park improvements.
In order that public opinion may be
tnteliigently exercised In regard to the
area OF parks of our leading cities,
their original cost, the mode of raisin q
tho purchase money, and the
amounts expended for their i'm
provemsnt and maintenance, THE BEE

STATE PRESS COMMENTS.

The little paragraph which has been going
the rounds of the state papers that the recent
rains were worth millions to the farmers,
causes the Kenesaw Cyclone to remark
''Co-porations water their stock and make
millions, but it will take something else than
water to get the crops in the crib"
Nebraska is coming to the front as a state
Of lawlessness, according to the Kearney
Hub, and during the past year murder has
been alarmingly on the increase. 'In these
quiet days OF the reign of law and order"
says that paper, Zone is reminded of the old
frontier days, with the exception that then
the murderer ran at large instead of as now
being arraigned and turned loose or having
mild punishment visited upon his devoted
head. If the state would encourage the
hemp industry it might have salutary eff
feet upon felons as well as add to the agri-
cultural resources of the commonwealth.
The Norden Borealis, published within the
confines Of Keya Paha county. thinks the
advertising that section has been receiving
recently is not very beneficial. There are"
it says, "many good honest people who do
not approve of the vigilantes, neither do they
approve of stealing stock for livelihood,
yet there can be no neutral ground between
the factions. To forever settle the matter,
we esuggest that deputy United States mar
shall be appointed in Keya Paha county, with
Jurisdiction in the state Of Nebraska and
Dakota.
The Kearney Enterprise has discovered
the secret of Ret Clarkson's presence In the
office Of first assistant postmaster general,
and springs it on an unsuspecting public. II
is simply plot to make Senator Allison
president IN 1882, so the Enterprise says, and
''the fact that Benjamin Harrison is presl-
dent and that he gave Clarkson his oppor-
tunity for public service does not enter at all
into these calculations. Men who are hun

to be the power behind the presidency, are

THE emigration of number OF Nor.
mons, reported to be passing through
Montana into Canada, would indicate
that settlements are to be established
within the British provinces. The
movement moreover of several bodies
of Mormons into Mexico would likewise
show that the Saints are looking for
haven of rest across the Rio Grande.
With colonies so far apart it is quite
evident that the Mormons contemplate
no general exodus either from Utah or
from the United States. Their purpose
is plainly to establish communities and
cities Of refuge both in Canada and
Mexico, where refugees from either of
three countries could find an asylum in
case of political or religious persecution.

as means Of rapid transit is reported
from Boston. II on further test it shall
prove successful, it wilt revolutionize
railroading and practically annihilate
space. It is described as "a process IN
which the momentum Of car passing
magnetic coils is utilized for the attain
ment OF a speed greater than that OF n
swallow and equal to that OF swift,
which goes through the air at the rate
OF two hundred miles an hour" This
certainly is the essence OF rapid transit.
1t almost passes belief, but when one
considers the progress made and the di-
verse applications Of this unseen power
in the last twenty-five years there is no
room for doubt. There is no such word
as fail in the vocabulary OF electricity.
Experts say that the invention will do
even more than is claimed for it. 1t Is
simple and cheap, q mere bagatelle
compared with the present cost OF rail-
road transportation.
But who wants to be shot like a canon
ball through space at the rate OF two
hundred miles an hourp When
Robert Stephenson's first locomotive
won the prize sixty years ago for attain
ing n speed OF fourteen miles an hour. the
people were astounded, and looked
upon the builder as one possessed, but
speed has increased with the growth
and advancement of the world, and to-
day sixty miles an hour is common on
all the main railroads in the country.
The Jarrett and Palmer train sped
across the continent, 1901 miles, on an
average speed of thirty-nine miles an
hour, including all stops. Short dis
tance runs have been frequently made
at the rate of seventy miles an hour, a
speed frequently attained by the ice
boats on the Hudson river. Storms on
Mount Washington have registered q
speed of eighty miles an hour. In 1884
Count Carolyi's carrier pigeons flew
from Pesth to Paris ut q rate Of
one hundred and fourteen miles
per hour, and swallows attain speed
of one hundred and fifty miles an hour.
All these records are comparatively
trifling with what electricity promises.
When Chicago is brought within two
and half hours of Omaha, and the dis
tance to New York traversed between
sunrise and sunset, surely the demand
for rapid transit will be fully satisfied.
Truly this is the electric age.

: THE report OF the Connecticut board
Of cdacation for 1888, that illiteracy is
decreasing in that state, seems hardly
credible. In one county, which was
taken as fairly representative, 1t was
found that two-tifths Of all the children
receiving public instruction were un-
able TO write, although some of them
had been from six to eight years In
school. Such n condition OF affairs
would indicate that the public schools
In that state had fallen to low ebb.
No doubt the Investigations Of the board
will have the effect TO awaken the peo-
pie OF Connecticut to the danger. That
