AN IRISH RAILWAY STRIKE.
American Malls Delayed by the Ac-
tion of Employees.

The strike on the Great Southern e West
crn railway OF ireland still continues. Great
delay has arisen in delivery of the American
mails, as traffic between Dublin and Cork Is
completely broken. The Cunard company
offered to dcny the Umbria and take on the
mail to Liverpool.
The result OF the strike will probably be a
change III the starting point OF the mails from
Cork to Liverpool. The strike arose from
come railroad men refusing to load cars for a
bacon firm whose employees bad struck. At
tempts are now hcing only made to run the
trains during daylight. The Irish Times con-
dcmns the strike ~ piece OF clumsy rash
ness, and points out that the strikers have
committed an uupatrIotlc error In deranging
the railroad service, which may cause the loss
OF the American mall to ireland, and that
the enemies of Ireland have now GOT possess
sion of a weapon which they will not be slow
TO use.

Notice on n Church Door,

some time ago the Congregational Society
az strntford, Ct. refused 10 indorse propo-
5llloh made by their pastor, Rev. Joel s..

some hard feeling between some OF the mem

TOOK very conservative view OF tho
matter. The day after tho meeting the fol-
lowing notice was found tackled on to the

1t has been the rule to consider nasal
catarrh almost entirely a local disease,
and n which has very little effect upon
the general system. All this Is being
rapidly disproved, and it is being shown
that if the nose is in an unhealthy state
there is quite a long list of affections
which may be induced in consequence.
Hay fever has often been cured by ap-
plications to certain points in the nasal
passages. Asthma, also, has yielded to
the same treatment. 1t is a well known
fact that when the victim of catarrh
suffers from dyspepsia scarcely any i'm
provement in the latter can be made, no
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 ven of the heart, are some
times induced by nasal trouble. Re
Gently there was reported the case of a
woman who had had epilepsyfor several
years, and although she had patiently
sought relief no improvementtook place
until applications were made to her nose
and its condition improved. Under that
line of treatment entire recovery oc-
Cured Very many other cases are on
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-
tem.-Halls Journal of Health.

The fact Is well known that Oertel.
the distinguished German writer, has
warmly advocated for certain forms
Of functional heart trouble not rest,
but active exercise, such as mountain
climbing. In pursuing this practice, how
ever. the utmost care is found necessary,
and the distance to be covered is of
course regulated for each patient; and
as its object Is to strengthen the heart
muscle and promote the circulation, and
as only healthy arteries can stand the
strain, such treatment is of course con-
tra-indicated in atheroma.
Formerly the detection by physical
diagnosis of a heart murmur was re-
garded as a grave fact, an adverse con-
clusion being at once arrived at without
sufficiently considering the other signs
and symptoms. Such cases, 1t is found,
often do well with exercise and outdoor
life. Again, in fatty degeneration, the
heart in u young person can stand a
moderate mount of exercise and I'M
doubtedly be strengthened, but II is in
fatty infiltration or fatty overgrowth
that the judicious use Of exercise does
great good-the general diet in such
case to be regulated, and the general
obesity which usually exists to be re-
moved, by a depicting diet. Some Ger
man physicians in their city practice
recommend stair climbing when mount
ain climbing is not feasible.-New York
Tribune.

The following dog story is absolutely
true, the occurrence having come under
the observation of the physician at Old
Orchard and related to the attorney upon
honor: An intelligent dog was afflicted
by fieas. They clouded his existence, If
we may believe appearances, since four
ffths Of the time the intelligent dog was
tied up in a double bow knot fighting
the smaller and less intelligent but more
nimble iea. He had chewed the hair
from his sides, and his eye was lack
luster. The NANCY canine decided to
take q bath in the waves of the ocean,
and in doing 30 discovered that as the
sea water heightened upon his legs and
sides and back the ieas fed before it as
even the wicked flee.
Soon after the dog was seen backing
put into water, a smile growing over his
countenance as an idea took possession
of hin. He was next seen with a huge
wad OF cotton in his mouth. With this
lifted aloft he backed out. The fieas
crawled higher as the sea water o
about him. They occupied his back and
then his head, made uncomfortable as
they were by the salt water. Then at
last, rs the dogs head sank very slowly
beneath the waves, the multitude va

Pink wants to know how to cure en-
larged pores of the face, black heads and
dark rings round the eyes. All three
symptoms combined show a system very
much out of order. There must be i'm
mediate and thorough reform in habits,
coarse, laxative diet and medicines,
washing the ace with borax water many
times a day, and when dry rubbing it
softly but firmly with n rubber hand,
brush.
This is a nice thing for the complexion
in all cases, whether to remove the shiny
look left by washing with soap and to
give the velvety finish (which it does bet
ter than chamois skim or to clear the
enlarged pores of secetions. Mild fric-
ton with it improves the action of the
skin and reduces the pores. Blackheads
indicate a constipated condition, com.
plete relief of which is the only perma-
men cur for these unsightly spots. The
dark circles round the eyes will prob
ably disappear with the other symp-
toms.-Shirley Dare.

An important improvement has been
made in the covering of pulleys, by
which it is claimed 80 per cent. more
power car 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 cas- 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
stand 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 bs 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-

o FETe DAYS.

h the Antiquarian of 1000 Year.
Hence VIII Think of the Present.
Imagine a cultivated person from Hin
dostan, or say the heart of Australia
man who knew the English language
thoroughly, but who by sad fate had
v heard of a baseball game-sitting
down toread a skillfully written account
Of a great contest like that between the
Buffalos and the New Yorks. To make
the point palmer yet imagine this schol-
arly gentleman as living 1000 years
hence, and a. having dug up from the
ruins of Buffalo a perfectly preserved
newspaper of the date June 81, 1890. In
archaeological ecstasy he seats himself
amid the ruins of the soldiers monu-
meDt-looking just as they do now-and
proceeds TO read:
Chants jumped on. Buffalo wipes
the diamond with New York's pets.
Buck Ewing told the mighty pitcher to
gather up his loins and NOW down the
Bisons. When the Bisons put on a
clincher in the ninth Buck took off his
red overshirt, donned a black and white
blazer and packed up the Giants traps,
vowing that he and Keefe would kill the
Bisons tomorrow. Crane soaked one
man. White was nailed between Sec
ond and third" etc.
Now this naturally will puzzle the
scholarly gentleman; nor will he receive
light from other copies Of other papers
of the same period. He will read how
n mighty man famed the air" how
another "'died at third, I" and how several
we've sacrificed" amid great rejoicing.
In his erudite history of 1.-THE Ancient
American Republics and the Causes
Which Led to Their Decay we would
find some such paragraphs as these:
From the perfectly preserved record
of their sports it may be asserted with
out qualification that the Americans
were the most brutalized and blood
thirsty people who ever laid claim to any
degree of enlightenment. The arenic
sports Of Rome were less debasing, and
showed far greater regard for human
life. In the priceless Ancient Print col
lection made by the author is a perfect
record of one Of the Bisonic fete days.
1t is matter Of fact in tone, yet the old
~chronicler was gifted with are skill,
for, like Homer. he pictures the most
thrilling events in thesimplest language.
Here, too. is undisputable proof that
there were giants in those days. They
were so large and savage that the spec
tators sat in iron cages, and the
young men who did combat with them,
sometimes riding or possibly driving
wild bisons, braved death for victory.
Often at these so called games, the con-
testants in which sought to pitch each
other out of the arena, the overweight
men would often die while running levi
IDENTIFY pursuing or fleeing from the
giants. Those who survived were often
sacrificed on a hot plate. while the opu
lace, safe in their cages, would howl
with b~loodthirsty rage of delight.
Frequent illusions to soaking -
probably in boiling oil-and to the con-
testants being nailed show that these
horrible diversions combined the hazards
of a Roman arena with the fiendish
atrocities of the inquisition. Buffalo

Ii the with OF February y Day.
The question whether the Goth of Feb
ruary is lesallya day or not has lately
been presented to the courts of Indiana.
There is authority in that state to tn,
effect that the 2sth and Goth of February
are to be counted as one day; but when
the supreme court 30 decided ii had not
examined an ancient English statute
concerning leap year, passed in the TWEEN
tS-third year of Henry III, which bears
upon the subject. Accordingly, in the
case to which we refer, the Judge deter
mined to consider the question de novo,
and he came to the conclusion that the
Goth OF February must be regarded as a
day in the contemplation of the law, at
least, as much a. any other, and must
be reckoned In the legal computation of
time whers days are considered.
'Is the man who works on Feb. % and
20 to have pay for one day onlyY' he
asks. HAS a Judgment rendered on
Feb. % no priority as a lien over one
rendered on Feb. 297 Could a man SEN
fenced to be hung on Feb. go be legally
executed on Feb. PSF OF course not.
The confusion on the subject has evil
IDENTIFY arisen from statutes treating of
the entire year as a whole. Thus, there
is a provision in the Revised Statutes of
New York that whenever the term
year" or years" shall be used in any
law sentence, contract or instrument of
writing the year intended shall be taken
to consist Of 365 days, a half year 1872
days, p quarter Of a year Of days, and
the added day Of a leap year and the
day immediately preceding. if they shall
occur in any period so computed. shall
be reckoned together as one day."-St.
Louis Republic.
