Evil Effects of Catarrh.

1t has been the rule to consider nasal
catarrh almost entirely local disease,
and one which has very little effect upon
the general system. AL this is being
rapidly disproved, and it is being shown
that if the nose is in an unhealthy state
there is quite long list of affections
which may be induced in consequence
Hay fever has often been cured by ap
phcations to certain points in the nasal
passages. Asthma, also, has yielded tC
the same treatment. 1t is a well known
fact that when the victim of catarrh
suffers from dyspepsia scarcely any i'm

matter what is done for it, until the
former is on the gain.
Evidence is not wanting to show that
severe functional disturbances of the
lungs, and even of the heart, are some
times induced by nasal trouble. Re
Gently there was reported the case Of a
woman who had had epilepsy for several
years, and although she had patiently
sought relief no improvement took place
until applications were made to her nose
and its condition improved. Under that

record which show that the relation be-
tween the nose and other parts Of the
system is very intimate, the connection
being of course through the nerve sys-

Get Shoes After Noon

The best time to get fitted to shoes i,
in the latter part of the day. The feet
then are at their maximum of size and
sensitiveness. Activity measurably en-
larges them. When the muscles are in
play the flow of blood in the arteries is
increased and the joints also; conse-
Quently they are more tender. Even
gravity affects the venous circulation. SO
that standing on the feet alone tends to
enlarge these members. 1t is gravity
that produces varicose veins in the legs
and feet of persons of relaxing fibre who
are required to be much in the erect
position.
Hence when healthy persons lie down
at night their feet, being relieved from
the weight of the body, resume their
normal size. Try on the new shoes with
moderately thick stockings, too, and you
then have margin of room by putting
on thinner ones when the feet are i'll at
ease. For tender feet fit them late in
the day with the aid of heavy stockings,
and the next morning, clad in thinner
stockings, those feet will rest in the new
almost as comfortably as they would in
old shoes.-Herald of Health.

New Method of Covering Pu,1exs.

An important improvement has been
made in the covering of pulleys, by
which it. is claimed so per cent. more
power can be transmitted, and all slip.
ping is reduced to an imperceptible fac.
tor. This system comprises the follow.
ing points 1t consists in the employ.
ment of a specially prepared leather
covering for the pulley which is ex.
tremely soft and elastic and never glazes
by the rubbing action of the belt, as is
the case when ordinary leather is en-
ployed for this purpose.
1t is applied to the pulley and held
firmly to it for all time by means of a
special cement, which is soft and never
hardens, like ordinary cement or glue.
No rivets of any kind are employed, but
the leather covering is firmly attached
to the iron of the pulley by the cement
alone. Once attached the covering will
and for years and never loosen or come
off except when naturally worn out, the
length of time varying with the circum-
stances and work done. This system
will be invaluable to those engaged in
the transmission of power by means of
belts in the operation of machinery of all
kinds.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.

Poor One Minute, Rich the Next.

One minute with poverty staring him
in the face; the next rich man for life.
That was the actual experience of S. P.
Armstrong, who died of heart disease at
Butler, Pa. He had invested all his
funds in sinking well in the Thorn
Creek oil region of Pennsylvania. 1t
was thought to be dry, and as sort of
farewell protest against his ill luck the
explorer fred torpedo in its depths
Immediately after its explosion the well
began to flow at tremendous rate, a
volume of oil being lifted into the air to
height of at least one hundred feet.
Not having expected big we'll no con-
nections had been made to the tanks,
and the oil flowed on the ground, com
pletely deluging the entire neighborhood.
After several hours the oil was turned
into tanks with great personal risk to the
workmen, and the first days production
was 10000 barrels, the largest well ever
opened in the Oil county 1t was mine
of wealth to Mr.. Armstrong, and devel-
oped large scope of rich territory

Is the Chaplain Doing His Dutye

A story is going the rounds now which
would indicate every opportunity for
Sabbath school missionary work among
the members OF the house. The other
day Gambler and Grimes, of Georgia,
got into an argument in regard to early
religious training. Grimes claimed that
the religious precepts taught in youth
were never forgotten, and that the cate
chisn and verses of scripture then COM
mitted to memory could be repeated
years after.
"Pu tell you what I'll do, Grimes"
said Gambler, "rll bet you $40 even that
there isn't man in this house can re-
peat the ten commandments without
making mistake
TN just go you" said Grimes. "Se-
lect your men," and the money was put
up.
Mr.. Gambler said he would select Rep
resentative Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
and Representative Wilson, of West
Virginia, both blue stocking Presbyte-
mans. Mr.. Breckenridge was called in
hrst and the bet stated. The silver
tongued orator of Kentucky studied a
moment and then said: ''Gentleman. l
can't repeat the Ten Commandments
without mistake" Mr.. Wilson was
then applied to, but the college professor
was also compelled to admit that his
memory was defective ON that subject.
He got even with Gambler, however, by
saying: II am willing to bet $40 that
could have repeated any nursery rhyme,
and Gambler would not have been able
to tell the difference between it and the
Ten Commandments. "-Pittsburg Com

Boring for Honey,

A successful boring for honey has been
made in north Tennessee. For many
years swarms of bees have been noticed
by boatmen at Fox Bluff, on the Cum
berland river, near Franklin, Ky. The
bluff is ITO feet high, and the rivers
channel runs directly under it. The bees
have been observed about a big assure
near the center of the bluff, and the
opening could not be reached from above
or below without great danger of being
stung to death. AS the bees had never
been robbed, it was thought a large
amount of honey was stored in the cliff.
Recently we'll borer named Starks Wis
tied the bluff and was at once impressed
with the idea that he could reach the
wonderful honey storehouse with his
drill. After some coaxing he persuaded
a number of farmers to undergo the ex-
pense, and three inch hole was bored
from the top Of the bluff. At a depth of
eighty-five feet the drill struck the
honey. According to dispatch barrels
and tubs by the score We're filed and
carried off to neighboring farms, and
the syndicate has sent to Louisville for
more receptacles.- Philadelphia Ledger

Three Presidents Sons.

By rather singular coincidence, as
the son of President Garfield departed
from banking institution the son of
another president entered it. Neither of
the young men knew the other by sight,
and neither of them was aware that
they were near enough to exchange
greetings had they been acquainted.
The other son of president was q. S.
Grant, who is leading very quiet and
retired life in this city. He is almost
difident and shy in his dealings with
men, but he grows very greatly to re-
semble his father. Another ex-presi-
dents son lives in New York, although
he spends much of his time in Europe.
This is young Alan Arthur, whose tastes
are social and whose requirements are
those of refined and cultured man of
the world, rather than in the direction
of political tastes such as distinguished
his father.-New York Cor. Philadel-

Beneath her bonnet's shady brim.

With twinklng feet and chattering tona,e
And breezy skirts about her swung
In swift. ecstatic whirls

A romp, a'rogue, witch, a sprite-

PARALYSIS Cured.

Not even the spinal cord, incased
though it is in its thick bony envelope,
is sacred to the surgeons knife. 4 boy
9.years of age was admitted recently to
the Mount Sinai hospital suffering from
a complete paralysis of his lower ex-
tremities and the lower half of the BODY.
This condition had developed very sud
denly. On arising from his bed one
morning he found himself unable to
stand or to Use his legs. He had sus-
tanned no injury. his general health was
fair. On examination it was found that
he had marked prominence over the
spine in its upper portion, giving rise to
defornity such as is commonly seen
III hunchbacks, and which is the result
OF an infiammatory disease affecting the
vertehrse. and known as Potts disease.
The spinal cord is dependency of the
brain, and really is its continuation. and
lies within bony canal formed by the
bones of the spine. The nerves issuing
from 1t govern the power of motion and
sensation of those parts of the body to
which they are distributed, and any in
reference with them destroys their func-
ton and paralysis more or less complete
ensues, although sensation may be re-
tanned, for the sensor nerves are given
off from different portion of the cord
From this physiological fact it was at
once sur1nised that the boys paralysis
was due to some pressure upon the roots
! of the motor nerves governing the lower
limbs, and an operation Yves decided upon
The patient having been placed under
the influence of ether, a longitudinal
incision, including all the tissues down
to the spine, was made over the site of
the prominence. the skin and muscles
We're lifted up together and the dorsal
aspect of the vertebr@ exposed and the
projection sawed off, thus opening up
the canal in which the cord lies, where
upon a considerable bullying was per-
ceived. This membrane was divided, re-
vealing an abscess which was thoroughly
emptied, the swelling disappearing en-
tirely. The opening made in the mem
brane was closed by fine catgut sutures
and the wound was dressed. The paral-
ysis did not improve for some time, but
it gradually disappeared.s-New York

Because He Was Not Up in Geography


A curious incident regarding strait
occurred during the Russian war. 1t
would have been ludicrous, if anything
can be ludicrous connected with war,
Commodore Elliot was blockading a
Russian squadron in the Gulf of Sagha-
lin, on the east coast of Siberia. Think
ing he had the Russians in a cul de sac
he complacently waited for them to
come out, as the water was too shallow
for him to attack them. AS the enemy
did not come out he sent in to investi
gate, and found to his establishment
that Russians and ships had vanished.
While he had been waiting for them in
the south they had quietly slipped out
by the north, teaching both him and the
British government rather severe les
son in geography, as it had been thought
that Saghalin was an isthmus, and they
were totally unaware of q narrow chan
mel leading from the gulf to the Sea of
Okhotsk. -Chamoers journal.

Speculation Even In Farming,

Some persons are of the opinion that
there is more or less speculation in every
BUSINESS transaction. A Long Island
farmer, the other day, carried his peas
to the Gansevoort market in this city.
He got just twenty cents a bushel for
them. He had paid forty cents bushel
to farm hands for the bare cost of pick
ing them. Had this farmer arrived four
days sooner he would have got $1.25 a
bushel. When he arrived the market was
well supplied by other farmers.-Epoch.

ance by French polishing, but this adds
nothing to their durability. A much
better plan is to let them soak in linseed
oil for a week, and rub them with a
cloth for a few minutes every day for a
week or two. This produces beauti-
full surface, and exerts a solidifying and
preservative action on the wood.
