TRUSTS AND PARTIES.

A declaration is made by the Philadel-
phia american that the trusts are opposed
to the purpose of the tariff, namely, the
stimulation of competition among home in
dustry, and that therefore, wherever trust
is formed that has the benefit OF protective
tariff, the duty should be removed. But
that eminently correct position is weakened
by the assertion of the same journal that it
draws line between agreements among
producers to avoid eutthreat competition
and the organization Of permanent trusts. :"
If it is an evil to obstruct competition per-
manen1y, why is it not an evil to obsruct

No Cure for Asthma.

All these sources of trouble are the more
singular because though the different odors are
plainly and sometimes dIsagreeably offensive
to others they are rarely perceptible to the hay
fever patient. In his case the catarrhal vista
tion is such that the organs of taste and smell
are for this time being blunted or parslyzed-
He feels the effect, but is often otherwise un-
aware of the existence in his vicinity of the
cause of his trouble. The point of greatest i'm
portanee is as to the cure. And SO far as now
known there is absolutely none. save change of
place, either for hay fever OF any other form OF
asthma. Where shall the patient go? Ex-
perience-individual experience-alone will
tell. The writer knows of q gentleman who
had summer asthma in his own house, but in
that of his mother, directly across a narrow
street, was quite free. But in general the
change should be complete, from sea to mount
ain or from mountain to sea. The best advice
to the asthmatic would be to continue travel
ing with persstency until he finds favorable
locality; then let him pitch his tent and remain
in spite of all temptation u move. Inconven-
lent as this remedy must often be, 1t is no
wonder if the patient and his friends rebel, but
they would not do so il theyrealized the lasting
consequences of permitting the annual repetl-
tion of their suffering.

TRLSTATE TRIPLES.

THE Tyrone Herald taxes the credulity Of
its readers with the following story: The other
day some railroad men on the mountain near
Tyrone noticed a large snake with a mouse in
its mouth. As the snake crawled along the OBJ
servers. thought it looked like rattlesnake,
but saw that it had no rattles. The men con-
cIuded to follow the reptile and see. what 1t
would do with its prey, and after while they
saw 1t reach its nest where several little snakes
were in waiting. The old snake tore the mouse
into small morsels which it fed to the little
ones, and while they were busily eating. it
gathered up its rattles and put them in their
place on its tail 1t was then evident that the
old snake had given its rattles to the young
snakes for piaythings while il had gone in
search Of food.

4 PUZZLE TO THE DOCTORS.


A1uOeh au0 Hec0yers<
ALLENTOWN, August S.--A remarkable re-
covery is that of Thomas Sweitzer. the young
man who. four weeks ago, attempted to COM
NIT suicide by gashing his wrists and cutting
his throat. In order to procure razor to do
the work he first broke open barber shop,
and. with razor in hand, walked three blocks
to the house OF friend, and, while standing
on the curb at midnight, drew the keen weapon
ACROSS hts throat, infiictfnga cash which lacers
ated the larynx and ssophagus. Falling in
the gutter from weakness occasioned by loss of
blood, he became unconscious ani would soon
have bied to death had not his means attracted
the attention of his friends mother, who
aroused her son. Two physicians were sum-
moned and removed the young man to IFS
mothers house, and after stitching up the
ugly wound, had him removed to the county
hospital The mother and young man were
informed that he could not possibly live, but
before q week he showed signs of improve
ment. began to eat, wanted to live, and his inn
provement has been steady ever since.
To-day he was permitted to leave the fnstitu-
tion, and walked the streets of this city with
his neck bandaged. He is considerably ema-
ciated, but in a few weeks will be himself, the
wounds being almost healed. The case puzzles
the DOCTORS. Sweitzer is delighted He saws
the loss of a child lmpelled him to commit the
act The hopelessness of the case at the early
start will be appreciated from the fact that for
several days after he was given nohrishment it
gushed out of the ugly cash in his throat. A
tube was then inserted and from that day his

When Children Ar. Afflicted.

If it were only death that is certain there
would not be so much to fear, but when the
young are attacked there is a lifetime of inex-
pressible misery In prospect. Children often
suffer terribly and do not complain. They take
their sufferings as something inevitable. and
fade away while their elders are thinking:
"Poor things! They suffer, but they will out
grow 1t. Asthmatics live forever" Let no
parent or other relative or guardian think that
there is any cure in medicine for the victim of
asthma. There are number Of palliatives-
and thankful should we be for that-but medi-
cine has no cure. Any honest physician, of any
school, will confess this. The palliatives are
good. Anything that will shorten the asthmat-
les agony by ever SO little should be sedulously
employed, but the only cure Is change of locali.
ty, and whatever the sacrifice It. should be
made. The attacks which in early
life may be of but short duration. taking but
three or four weeks out of the year, often
lengthen their term with each advancing year
until the periods of immunity become shorter
than those of suffering. If the child is to have
anysreaI good Of his future life he must not be
allowed to contract the habit of asthmatie suf-
fering. When change of place is impossible
the sufferer must resort to palliatiyes, for any
thing that gives even temporary relief is less
injurious to the constitution than are the asth-
matic's sufferings; but it should always be re-
membered that anything of sufficient power to
control the disease is strong enough to produce
after effects of q decided or very possibly hurt
full character.

A Few Palliafivcs.

A sufficient dose given when thepremonitory
symptoms manifest themselves is Of more pres
ent good effect and less after i'll effect than to
wait later and then have to repeat the dose
three or more times Some of thb most help
full remedies are to be smoked, but to draw the
smoke from cigarette, cigar or pipe requires an
exertion of lung power which is tso great for
the asthmatic. For his use there are tin tubes
rising about five inches from base something
like an inverted shallow teacup. by placing on
fat plate the proper dose OF tie powder. set
ting fire to it and putting the tabe over the
sputtering mass, the tube will act as a'cbimney
and draw the smoke upward so mat tine patient
has only to apply his mouth to tie upper end OF
the tube and receive the smokewithout effort.
If one cannot readily get one Of these tubes an
inverted funnel will do nearly as well. An
open wood fire IN the room is Of great advan-
tage. drying the air and causing ltito circulate
freely. But notwithstanding ~ care and with
all the known paIiiatives, thereis no cure but
change or place.

planters of Louisiana that they must stick
to the Democratic party in order to preserve
''the indirect protection of the duties on raw
sugar." In the meantime other free-trade
cotemporaries, like the Louisville Courier
Journal, are assuring the country that the
80 per cent sugar duties are only revenue
duties.
