CATARHH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Bay Fever-A New


Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery Is that u simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one TO three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-Ths treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-

the beautiful Helene Won Racowitza, and

What Ladic. Tan About.

When two or three or more married
ladies' are gathered together in n conf
Dental way they almost invariably talk
about servants, babies, and sometimes
husbands are discussed; but cooks and
chambermaids and walters are, upon the
whole, safer subjects. Differences Of
opinion nave always existed and always
viii exist in mixed society as to the
merits of infant prodigies and model
spouses, but in relation to the shortcom-
ings of domestics the ladies are all but
unanimous.
Now the eyes of servants may be full
of notes, but are those of their employ
ers free from beams? 1t must be con-
fessed that the majority of ladies do not
treat their domestics on the 'Do-unto-
others-as-you-would-the y-should-do-un
you" principle. II there is any ground
for the saying that good husbands make
good wives, there Is certainly equal rea-
son to expect that just and considerate
employers will be faithfully served. In
the treatment Of domestics the famili-
arity that breeds contempt should be
carefully avoided; but 1t is quite possible
to make those who do your behests your
friends without making them your con-
fdants. Be thoughtful for their com
fort and welfare. Do not require too
much Of them. Fancy yourselves ser
ants nov and then, ladies, in order to
realize how they feel--New York

The ladies Of the NJ. E. church at Me-
anicsburg, o., are in a dilemma. 1t is
rather warm out there and they have
been taking their fans to church Sun
days. Now the minister objects TO their
use and claims that the force Of his ser
mon is lost in their use and in the hirt-
ing with them. One night last week he
delivered a special ermon on a topic Of
great ~profundity. A large audience was
present, and he started out to make one
of the great efforts of his life. The cease
less movement of the fans annoyed him,
and he cast nervous Chances around every
now and then. Finally he stopped and
broke forth: II want you to quit using
those fans. 1t is impossible to preach
with any effect while they are in opera
ton. Think of the North pole and ice
bergs and look at me-" The congrega-
lion, it is understood, is celebrating on
the ~advisability of asking for his resig.

Mrs. James @. Blaine, Jr., has gone to
Saratoga, and viii spend the remainder
of the season there. She has recovered
from the operation to which she sub
mitted two weeks ago, and her leg has
been taken out of the splints that were
used at the time. The operation was
undertaken with the idea Of bringing the
leg which was so affected with rheu-
matism down into place. 1t was some
two inches shorter than 1t should be.
The operation was practically success
full, and Mrs. Blaine's physicians hope in
time that she will be able to walk as
well as ever. She goes to Saratoga under
the advice of her physicians. She will
be at the United States hotel and will
have her child with her.
Mrs. Blaine's rheumatic trouble was
contracted at Long Branch last summer,
and this year the idea is of course to
keep her as far away from the salt water
As possible. Saratoga air is very dry
and very bracing, and Mrs. Blaine's
friends hope it will have the effect Of
restoring her to her wonted health and
vigor. She looks exceedingly well and
is in excellent spirits, which in view Of
her marvellous recovery from a serious
illness is scarcely to be wondered at

The salt mountains located on the
banks of the Rio Virgin, an affluent OF
the Colorado river, In Lincoln county,
cover an area of twenty-five miles, ex-
tending to within seven miles of the
junction of that stream with the Colo
RADIO. The salt they contain is pure
and white, and clearer than glass, and
it is said that a piece seven or eight
inches thick is sometimes clear enough
to see through to read a newspaper.
Over the salt is a layer of sandstone
from two to eight feet thick, and when
this is torn away the salt appears like a
huge snowdrift. How deep it is has
not yet been a~scertained, but a single
blast of giant powder will blow out
tons of it. Under the cap rock has
been discovered charted wood and

Miss Ellen Krsemer, who has won dis
tinction in the surgical ward Of Bellevue
hospital, came all the way from Sweden
to study nursing and medical science.
Sheis a proud, aristocratic young woman,
whose very presence commands respect.
She wears her hair combed back from a
face that is calm, sensitive and thought
full. She is a girl who makes her indi-
viduality felt, and she has a faculty,
peculiar to herself, of imparting this in
dividuality to every ward she visits. Her
windows are always draped, and if cur
tains are beyond her reach she will find

or a branch of willow or magnolia to
tone down the hard light. A railroad

The latest novelty in the way OF
disposing of the dead is an cleo
trical crematory, in which the pro
cess of burning a corpse is carried out
as follows: The body, being shrouded
in sheets made of asbestos, is laid upon
a frame consisting of fire brick, while at
the foot are large copper plates, to
which the leads from specially con
structed dynamos of high electro-mo-
tive force are attracted. The body ap-
parently occupies the position Of a fila
ment in an incandescent lamp, and,
upon the current being passed through
it, would be instantly carbonized; while,
as the air would have free access to it,
the process of destruction, or rather
decomposition, would be immediate.
The process appears to have the recon-
mendation of great rapidity of action,
and of freedom from many of the OBJ
jections to cremation in the ordinary
way.-Christian at Work.

One of h most remarkable human
curiosities ever seen has just been ex-
amined by M. de Qua~trefages, the
French naturalist. He Is a Provincial,
named Simeon Aiguier, and is 80 years
old. Aiguier, thanks to his peculiar
system Of muscles and nerves, can trans
form himself in most wondrous fashion.
He has very properly dubbed himself
"LHomme-Protee." At one moment,
assuming the rigidity of a statue, his
body may be struck sharply, the blows
falling a on a block OF stone. At an
other he moves his intestines from above
and below and right to left into the form
Of a large football, and projects it for
ward, which gives him the appearance
Of a colossally stout parsonage.
He then withdraws 1t into the thorax,
opening like n cave, and the hollow look
OF his body Immediately reminds one OF
a skeleton. Aiguier successfully imi-
tates n nan subjected to the t~ortures of
the ra' rs also n man hanging himself,
and assumes a striking cadaverous look.

Vanilla Soda Pop. vichy and Lime Julie,
Have Their votaries-
The New York girl is n hard but harm
less drinker. For some unknown reason
she Is always thirsty, and the character
of her beverage depends on the locality
in which she happens to be. Take the
Bowery belle, for instance, and nothing
suits her better than = bumper of ginger
pop. She drinks 1t whenever she can ge,
it, regardless of the weather, q longing
for more h~etghtening her enjoyment.
Ask the druggists In Center street and
Park row what the favoqtte drink is with
the bhthesome young women who come
from the mercantile offices in Nassau,
Wall and Fulton streets at noon and
night, and they will tell you root beer.
About the Battery the fair tippler's first
choice is sarsapanlla pop and lemon soda
second.
Adruggist in lower Broadway, not far
from st. Paul's, who Stacks the thirst of
the cosmopolitan girl, says that her pref
erence Is divided among three distinct
drinks, viz, vanilla soda, limo Juice and
cocoa malt OF the trio vanilla Is most
popular, but it Is q remarkable fact
that the lover of lime Juice dis
tnguishes the brainy young women,
and the malt the women who are
in training. The lime drinkers wear
glasses as a rule and silver watches;
they are quiet, quick, ~preoccupied and
self assertive, without being audacious.
The girls who call for malt are square
~shouldered, bright eyed, nimble footed
n alert young women, who breathe
away down in the belt region and swing
their arms when they walk; while the
vanilla girl is q jockey sort of q creature,
partial to the shirt and blazer, who
wears a four-in-hand, carries her gloves
in her left hand and elbows her way up
to the fountain no matter how many
men encircle 1t. She Is CHEEKY and chic,
has a spare smile for the soda clerk and
a jaunty way of Tipping the check on

Heat and tho Growth of HuIr.

1t is generally understood that the
hair and nails grow faster in hot
weather than in cold; but perhaps few
are aware that any temperature can
impart SO great u stimulus to the
growth as Col. Pejevalsky, the Russian
traveller, says the Central Asian heat
did during his journey in those regions
in the summer of 1889. In June the
ground and the air became excessively
hot, so great, indeed, as to render
travel in the daytime impossible.
Within a fortnight after this oppressive
weather began it was noticed that the
hair and beard of all the party was
growing with astonishing rapidity, and
strangest of all some youthful Cossacks,
whose faces were perfectly smooth, de-
veloped respectable boards within the
short period of twenty days.
