NATURE OF CAtARRH.
Extract From Lecture by j. H. Kellogg,

Extract From Lecture by j. II. Kellogg,
NJ. D., Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Nasal catarrh may be considered not
as local disease, but as general dis
ease with local expression. That is,
there is always pre-catarrhal state in
which the liver is torpid, and the skin
has lost its power to eliminate its share
of the poisonous waste material brought
to it, and the kidneys are also deranged.
The secretions of the kidneys have been
used as an index to the general state of
the body, and experiments made by in
jecting it under the skin of lower ami
mails to ascertain how much it would
take to kill a pound Of flesh. From
these experiments, it has been found
that there is enough poisonous
matter in the body, which If left to ac-
cumulate will cause death in two days
and two or three hours. When the
eliminative processes OF the body are
from any cause inactive, various morbid
processes are set up and one Of these is
nasal catarrh. A sudden exposure to
cold brings on a chill; there is rise
of temperature and the cold, per-
haps, settles in the head, causing dis
charge of mucous from the nose and
congestion from undue blood supply.
Thus the poisons which are in the blood
from lessened activity of the excretory
organs, poisons the tissues, germs find
entrance and a catarrh is set up There
would probably be no ShrOnio catarrh
but for germs, but a person who is in
precatarrhal condition is unable TO re-
sist the inroads Of the germs and thus
diseased processes are set up and per
petuated,

his owners finger, or hops about on his

perch in front of the doorway A lady
at the hotel remarked that 'it was
touching to see how fond these poor peo-
pie were of their little birds" The mys-
terry was soon solved. Returning from
drive one afternoon, we
passed the colossal gateway of the
great mosque, and saw that the
broad and towering flight of steps before
the principal entrance was covered with
scattered groups of people, all intent on
some occupation of absorbing interest.

THE BALD-HEADED MAN.

One would think to read the papers discours.
ing on the fly,
The grounds for his creation and the various
reasons why
That the underlying motive, the real objective
plan,
Was TO get another whack at
The bald-headed man.
Now the fly is no respecter OF persons or Of
pates
He lights Wherever fancy or the scent of game
dictates;
His object is to suck up all the juices that he
can,
And he is no Nemesis Of
The bald-headed man.
The fly has been created for q scientific use
And there is no use of hunting up thinly clad
excuse;
He was made to give reporters ever since the
world began,
Another chance TO ridicule
The bald headed man.
You may talk of sticky paper and lay trains Of
dynamite,
But the fly will live and flourish, as he always
has, in Spite
And the paragraphing punsters from Beer
sheba to Dan
VIII keep up their persecution Of
The baldheaded man.
But let them all remember there was once q
prophet old
To whom the sportive urchins, in wickedness
made bold
Remarked "Go up, thou baldheadr' when
out the big bears ran
And swallowed up the scoffers Of
The baldheaded man.

COERClNG A JURYMAN.
The Singular Method Adopted by the
Eleven to Convince the Twelfth.

Eleven to Convince the Twelfth.
Mr.. Montagu Williams, in his Leaves
of Life" tells an amusing anecdote to
illustrate the singular method by which,
occasionally, an English jury secures
the unanimity necessary to verdict.
1t need hardly be said that nothing Of
the kind could possibly happen in the
United States. In this country men do
not serve on juries at their own pleas
ure, but when they are drawn as jurors,
and one who is prejudiced is not allowed
to serve; but the author quoted is high
authority on the English practice.
A man named Watkyns was charged
with being the ring leader in a riot dur
ing Parliamentary election. He was
strong Conservative, and certain
butcher Of the Liberal party had been
heard to declare that he would get on
the jury, and then have leg cut off
rather than acquit Watkyns. When the
trial began, the butcher was found to be
one of the jurymen.
Watkyn's counsel stated to the court
the butchers remark, and then said,
"The gentleman will see the impropri-
ETY. of remaining in the jury-box, and
will at once retire."
81 sha'n't bulge an inch!' answered
the butcher, bracing himself in his seat.
81 never said what has been reported,
and if had said it, should stand on
my rights as an Englishman. Pve
right to serve on the jury, and on the
jury I'll server
The judge declined to interfere, but
simply said, "We must rely upon this
gentleman's good sense, and the obliga-
tion he attaches to an oath"
The case lasted for two days, and the
evidence was very conflicting. Some
witnesses swore that Watkyns, mounted
on white horse, led the rioters. Other
witnesses swore that he was in another
part of the borough when the disturb
ance took place.
At six o clock on the second day the
jury retired to consider their verdict.
At ten o'clock the Judge sent messen-
ger to them, asking if they had agreed.
They came into court and stated that
there was little likelihood of their be-
ing able to agree upon verdict. The
Judge informed them that he should
lock them up for the night. =
At four o'clock in the morning news
was sent to Judge and counsel that the
jury had agreed. Thecourt was opened,
and when the names of the jury were
read over, only eleven answered
zone juryman has not responded to
his name," said the Judge. 1t was the
butcher; his name was called second
time, and feeble voice answered,
Here"
The judge did not look toward the
jury-box; he had guessed accurately
what had occurred. The butchers coat
and waistcoat were torn from his back;
his shirt-sleeves were tattered, and his
face was besmeared with blood. From
the first the jury had stood eleven to
one. After nine hours of argument the
eleven had pounded the butcher until he
was willing to return verdict of mot

Kid bonnets, vests, belts, collars,
gloves and shoes, all matching in kind
and color, to be worn en- suite with silk
and velvet dresses, are among the ca
prices Of fashion for next season. Very
soft pliable leather jackets are limited
at-no crude affairs these, for knock
about wear, but ultra-smart tailor-made
coats, with high-art finish and high

itself, and far beyond the reach of the
woman who stops while she shops to
count her money.

pear upon skirts of dresses that certain
ruling modistes are sending out in oppo-

are endeavoring to turn the tide in ia.
vor of sheath models. For church wear
and visiting are very handsome black
lace dresses made up over black moire
or black Turc satin, with founces Of
lace on the skirt, lace frills on the bod
ice, and Directoire shoulder cape of
the same, the ruflies shirred to a deep
yoke of satin or moire.
Elbow sleeves appear upon many Of
the reception and dinner gowns. These
are generally full in effect, being either
puffed, loosely draped, or in regular
bishop style, finished with the fashion
able frill of lace or pleated lisse.
There is a rumor from over the sea
that we have not yet done with plain
dress skirts, and that, instead Of adding
to their volume, breadth or two will
be taken away, or at least a quantity re-
moved by means of cores at each seam.
1t is to be hoped that this fashion will
not be carried to the excess that it has
been in past times. There is nothing
either graceful, artistic or pretty about
the style, and besides being uncomfort-
able to walk in, the closely gored skirt
shows all the defects of poor walker,
and imparts lank, skinny, petticoat-
less look to the wearer that is the re-
verse of beautiful.
No one seems to tire of the blouse
waist, and models in heavier fabrics are
being made up for autumn wear, scarlet
blouses, black satin, and black surah
models appearing among other fancies
Fine cream-white flannel blouses will
be worn until late in the fall, and new
crepe de Chine waists are made ready
for demi-dress uses, to be worn with
skirts of lace, velvet, silk or wool.
There is still much demand for pale
ecru and pearl white castor gloves. There
are no gloves better suited for general
wear than these, and in point of econ
omy they outlast three pairs of Suede
gloves, which is to say that one pair of
these washing gloves will last as long
as three of any other kind-silk, Isle,
dressed or undressed kid-for the reason
that they can be washed once and again
when soiled, and the chamois skin OF
which they are made is strong and dur
able.-N Y. Evening Post.
