How to Treat the Influenza.

The treatment of epidemic catarrh
when the disease is manifest in light
form should be very simple. The pa
tient should be put to bed or at least
kept in his room and warm drinks ad-
ministered. A decoction of chamomile
flowers will often be found an admirable
remedy to induce sweating. An ounce
of sage with an ounce of thyme may be
mixed in quart of hot water, the latter
then reduce to a pint of boiling, this
sage tea may then be strained and a
pint of good Bourbon whisky added. A
sherry glass of this mixture taken every
four hours may be used with benefit. In
the early stage of the affection large
doses of quinine may be used with ben
eft. Hot baths, if cold draughts be
avoided afterward, will be found useful.
The newsremedy, anti-pyrine, will no
doubt play an active part as diaphore-
tic, but it has its dangers, and its ad-
ministration should be confided to the
family physician. Hot Scotch has, it
has been claimed in Edinburgh, GER
tain specific and not unpleasant action.
Brandy toddy, as made by the grand
mothers, at the beginning of this CEN
tury, is not totally devoid of medicinal
virtues. It has been claimed that snuff
takers enjoy comparative immunity
from edidemic catarrh, although such a
statement must be taken cum gran sails.
The strong and the temperate will
weather the epidemic better than the
weak and dissipated, for one of the
compensations Of all epidemics is the
survival ofthe fittest. a@

SECRETARY BLAINE.
Rumor Revived of His r ossible With
drawal from the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 19.-The
Herald to-day revives the story about
Secretary Blaine's resignation. 1t says
the belief that Mr.. Blaines resignation
as Secretary of State is impending has
become very strong within the past
few days, and after repeating The ru-
mors current from time to time of the
strained relations between the President
and the Secretary, adds: "The death
of his son, Walker, it is believed, will
furnish an additional and very strong
reason to Mr.. Blaine for quitting at
once his splace in the State Department.
Not only is Walkers death an irrepar-
able personal loss to his father, who
was greatly attached to him, but in the
discharge of his duties as Secretary of
the State, Mr.. Blaine found his son an
invaluable assistant whose place it will
be impossible to fill. Mr.. Walker
Blaine has the confidence of his father
to degree which naturally no one else
could obtain, and was thus able to re.
lieve the Secretary of State of large
amount of troublesome work which
will now necessarily fall upon him.

Mcdowell county. The startling bold
ness of the fraud can best be seen by
one circumstance, which was proven by
scores Of witnesses. A White Republi-
can collected 76 of these negroes from
the works at Bluefield, Mercer county,
w. Va. They all voted there in the
morning. Then they boarded the train
and crossed the line into Virginia,
where the negroes, who were bonafide
residents, cast their ballots without pro-
test. Another train carried the whole
gang into Elkhorn, Mcdowell county,
w. Va, where they marched to the
polls, crazy with drink, and with brand
ished clubs and revolvers placed their
Harrison and Golf ballots in the box.
The Circuit Court of Mercer county
met shortly after the election. Judge
Johnston delivered q ringing charge.
and the grand jury, acting under his la
structions, returned over $500 indict-
ments for illegal voting. Many of
these indicted have been already tried,
but the great majority fled the State
and the places which knew them once
know them no more.
In considering these frauds the con-
test committee acted with the greatest
conservatism. Only 175 Republican
votes were cast out in Mercer and Nc.
Dowell and they were the votes of men
who were registered in Virginia and al
the same time voted in West Virginia
The above are only few of the facts
presented in the committees report
The entire document is a startling ex
pose of fraud and trickery. 1t proves
the entire justice of Judge Fleming's
claim to the gubernatorial chair. As g
campaign document it will prove the
most powerful instrument which the
Democrats of West Virginia ever had
put in their hands, and already the tide
of public sentiment has been strongly
affected by it, and it is only question
of a few months until the people Of
West Virginia will learn the true facts
and rebuke the men who corrupted
their election and precipitated the pres.
ent gubernatorial complications.

NO STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
Prof. Pickering Says Tycho Brahe's
Luminary Is Not the Light of
Magi.

BosToN, Mass, Jan. 17.-[Special to
the Scripps League. PROF. Pickering,
of Harvard university, discredits the re-
port from Vienna that the "star of
Bethlehem" is again to be visible this
year, being its seventh appearance since
the birth of Christ. He says:
1.-THE report is probably the unauth-
orized revival of an old rumor that the
star, enormously called the 'star of
Bethlehem" was to make its appear
ance; but as this statement has been
made several times since 1884, when the
star was looked for by some astrono-
mers, there is doubtless nothing in it.
The star was the one discovered by
Tycho Brahe in 1872, and was named
for him. 1t appeared quite suddenly in
the, constellation of Caissopeia, and had
brilliancy greater than that of any OF
the planets-so much SO that it was
visible in the daytime. 1t was believed
by some that this star had appeared in
the same position 312 years before, or in
1860; and, assuming this interval of ap.
pearance to be correct, it would have
been visible about the time of the
Christian era, and 1t was thus termed
the star of Bethlehem. If its return
was after 312 years, the time of its reap.
pearance would have been in 1884, but
nothing has yet been seen of it. Such
a phenomena at the present day would
have the highest value to Astronomical
science, for by the use of modern in
struments observation could be taken
and information gathered that would
be of the greatest assistance in a series
of experiments now ih progress. There
is, however, so much doubt in the mat.
ter that 1t is of little use to surmise as
to the stars reappearance."

wRETCHED RICH MEN
Who Have Immense Fortunes But
Take no Further Interest in Life.

~~AS nv AhNCECSl III
Awoman writes to the Philadelphia
Free Press from Long Branch: "One
of the saddest things in the world next
to real poverty or distress is the sight
OF man who has acquired boundless
wealth and has lost his happiness and
his capacity to enjoy what money Sc
cures. Such cases are by no means rare.
They are very common. l saw a man
to-day whose income is believed to be
about 81 900 week; whose whole day
was spoiled because a cabman over
charged him 81 for short ride. OF
course the millionaire knew he could
not possibly spend his income. but
nevertheless the idea of losing a dollar,
of being defrauded out oft, was almost
agony to him. Many man in making
a great fortune completely loses the
power OF enjoying it. This is one the
worlds compensations. The happi-
ness OF sound sleep and good digestion
is often enjoyed by man with an
empty purse, while the millionaire
epicure has neither painless digestion
by day nor healthy rest by night.

lionaires who have spent the best years

He Is sitting back in a corner of his
swell landau now wondering what he
did it for. He has a fine old face,
heavy gray mustache, bushy eyebrows
and gold-rimmed eyeglasses. He is
dressed carefully, and his face is abso-
lutely empty of interest in anything.
He can't even work any more. Because
he has so much money all motive is
gone. His wife! Oh, we'll, he loved
his wife long ago and he bows to her
now when he meets her in the hallway
of his house, and they have never had
quarrel. Children? Yes, several of
them. They used to be pretty, and
Were fond of him when they were
babies. Then boarding school, college,

All sympathy is lost between them;
Living under the same roof, their hearts
are always wide apart. In fact, he
doubts whether he has a heart at all.

PNEUMoNIA's GRASP.
Features OF Disease that Prevails
Just Now.
Interesting Views ofDr. BarthoIow
Philadelphia Record. I

TPhiladelphia Record.l
"There are two classes of pnenmo-
nia,n said DIR. Roberts BarthoIow, an
authority on the subject, yesterday,
'the crouppus and the catarrhal. The
cause of the disease in many of the
cases that have occurred this winter is
a microbe or microbes that are breathed
in, and which lodge in the lungs where
they propagate. This infiames and
poisons the lungs, and is productive of
the trouble that often ends in death.
The mortality in eroupous pneumonia
ranges from 5 to 80 per cent, and in
catarrhal pneumonia is often as high as
so per cent.
1.-THE most weather which we have
had this year is especially productive OF
pneumonia. 1t is also caused by ex-
posure to the cold, and in any event is
very dangerous disease. Many per-
sons who have been attacked by 1t
never fully recover, and feel the effects
of.it all through their life."
THE CRISIS ON THE SEVENTH DAY.
There are some peculiarities about
pneumonia that make it interesting to
the layman as well as to the medical
man. In its croupous form it is one of
the few diseases that is self-limited and
that ends in crisis. When this crisis,
which usually comes on the seventh
day, is favorable to the patient, it is fol-
lowed by sudden and decided fall in
the temperature of the body, which has
been as high as 104o or 1859 and the suf-
ferer begins to pick up rapidly. If the
crisis is not favorable, the patient goes
down hill to death with equal rapidity.
THE RIGHT LUNG ATTACKED.
Men are more exposed to pneumonia
than women, because they are more in
the open air and are more exposed. This
disease is most common in winter and
spring, and, even when it does not kill
has tendency to develop into con.
sumption. For some reason best known
to itself the croupous form has q par.
ticular fondness for the right lung and
medical statistics show that in 100 cases
it attacks that lung in nearly fifty-four
instances, the left lung in thirty-eight
cases, and both lungs in the remaining
eight instances. Catarrhal pneumonia
attacks both lungs with discrimination
1t has no fixed duration like the other
form, and altogether is very serious
matter.
MOST FATAL TO OLD AND YOUNG.
Pneumonia is very fatal disease fol
the old and the young, who fall victims
to 1t much more readily than do those
of middle age. Death comes as a col.
lapse of the vital powers, and usually
takes place while the patient lies in 8
state of coma. ... ..
The terrible mortality of catarrha
pneumonia-one half of the cases
makes it one of the most dreaded dis
eases for the physicians. Like othel
pulmonary troubles, a certain inherited
predisposition makes many persons
particularly susceptible to it and to tn,
croupous form and to such the present
winter has been one of great dangers
The greatest precautions of avoiding
exposure to the cold and other sources
of possible trouble should be taken BY
all such if they wish to survive to re
late to posterity wondrous tales of th'
remarkable winter of 1850.

Within the last few years we have
heard much wise talk to the effect that
the tariffshould be revised by its friends
and construed by its friends, and ad-
ministered by its friends. No doubt
this superior kind of talk had its in
fiuence in placing the friends of the war
tariff in power. "ss0
And now we begin to learn how it
works in practice. Take the case of
wool. The tariff was to be construed
and administered by its friends so as to
exclude foreign woods, as far as the law
would permit, from competition against
American woods. And now what do
we see? Comparing nine months of
1889, the friends of the war tariff being
in power, with nine months of 1883, the
enemies of that tariff being then in
power, we see this: Inmported in 1889
Of clothing wool, 27,354, $50 pounds; of
combing wool, 6,666,000 pounds, and
of carpet wool, 92,1l8,1S4 pounds,
against for the same time in 1883 49,
701 900 pounds of clothing, 1896, 440
pounds Of combing, and 81, 900, ,5l1
pounds of carpet wool.
From this we see that there was an
increase all around after the tariff came
to be construed and administered by its
friends, but least of all in carpet woods,
which hardly come into competition at
all with native woods. In clothing
woods the increase was over 65 per cent,
and In combing woods nearly $50 per
cent. According to this the wool grow
ers should pray to be saved from the
friends of the war tariff. And they
should not be any the less earnest in
their supplications in view of the fact
that the wool market has been re-
markably fiat this year.-Chicago
Times.
