Camphor in various forms is frequent

although DR.. George Johnson and 9th
ers long since indicated the dangers at
tending the use of concentrated alco-
holic solutions. The following method
OF application is suggested in n Swiss
pharmaceutical journal, and certainly
has the merit of simplicity: A jug is
half filled with boiling water into
which a teaspoonfull of weil-powdered
camphor is thrown. A funnel-shaped
paper cap is then placed on the top of
the jug, and a hole torn in it just fitting
the nose. The c~amphorated steam is
inhaled through the nose for ten or ff-
teen minutes, tho inhalation being re-

A NOVEL USE FOR ELECTRICITY.

1t Has Become Invaluable in Surgical
Operations.
Many uses have been discovered for
the wonderful agent known as cleo
tricity, but the most novel as we'll us
practicable OF all IS its invaluable use in
surgical operations and especially IN
the treatment and cure of catarrhal dis
eases of the nose and throat. Up to the
past few years these catarrhal diseases
have had no successful treatment. The
appliance OF electricity as used in the
treatment of these diseases now is en-
tirely free from pain and hemorrhage
and almost instant relief afforded the
sufferer. DR.. Bifney, who has made a
special study of this branch and is q
recognized authority on catarrhal dis
eases of the nose and throat, has Sc
cured "a suite of o in THE BEE
building, upon which he has spared
neither pains nor expense. AS a result
the doctor has the finest Offices and
latest appliances west of Chicago. A
reporter for THE BEE, hearing of the
branch of practice, dropped into his
office yesterday, and finding SO man
new appliances of interest to himself
that, with the Doctors kind permission,
he will in a few days write "a complete
description of the electrical treatment
which the doctor uses, and which will
be of great value, as well as of interest.
to the public. The doctor, who is a son
of Major Birney of the Nebraska state
live stock commission, enjoys Il large
acquaintance throughout the west, as
well as a large number of personal
friends IN Omaha, among whom are
several of THE BEE staff, ana his many
friends will be pleased to learn of his
being permanently located in THE BEE

The SISTER of Mercy Orphan Asylum

IN Sister of Mercy Orphan Asylum.
The Sisters of Mercy now located on the
corner Of Fifteenth and CASTELAR, streets,
are about to erect an orphan asylum or a
house for homeless children at q cost of
$50, OOO, within three and u half miles of the
postofiice, and are to begin the work as soon
as the weather will permit.
The $50, QUO, il is thought, can be obtained
by subscriptions, and Mr.. j.. L. Miles has
volunteered to circulate the subscription list.
Many more orphans are now offered to
the sisters than can be accommodated, and
the need of the building they are about to
erect is very urgent. They have fifty five
children in their present building, and as il
was intended for another purpose, it is so
unit and crowded that larger quarters have
become an immediate necessity.
The aid volunteered the sisters from every
qnarter the last few months shows that
there is a disposition to help and encourage
the proposed asylum, and they are beginning
the work with great confidence in Its future
success.

CALIFORNIA INDIANS

They were Exceedingly Indolent, Slug.
e glsh and stupid. !>&
At first this fact seems totally at vari.
ance with the fitness of things; for, ii
California was not literally a land flow
ing with milk and honey, it possessed
every attribute to be desired by bar
barous people. Its climate was mild
and equable; its coast and inland waters
teemed with fish and mullusks; while
the land abounded with game and with
nuts, roots and seeds which were both
nutritious and easily procured. With
such advantages as these it might be
supposed that the natives would have
far outstripped the jewellers Of less IA
vored sections. Human progress, how
ever, does not always follow the lines
of least resistance, and it is probable
that in their struggle toward civiliza-
ton the races Of the world owe less to
their advantages than to their dis
advantages. To put this SEEM
ing paradox in other words,
mans improvement has been largely
compulsory, and, when he is not too
heavily handicapped, adverse sur
roundings stimulate instead of check
ing his progress. Certain is it that the
fine climate and abundant natural
products of California had their full ef-
feet in developing, or rather In retard-
ing the Development of the natives.
Though not deficient physically, the
Indians, especially Of the warmer por-
ton of the State, were exceedingly in
dolent and stupid. As rule they were
not hunters but fishers, and hence their
blood was not quickened and their
muscles hardened by the excitement
and toll of the chase; nor were their
wits sharpened to the same extent as
those Of. the hunting tribes by the
manifold and varied necessities of their
calling, nor by the sterner duties OF
war: for the hunting tribes are in
variably warlike. w. Henshaw, in

A WORD OF CAUTION.

The Spontaneous Combustion of Wheat
In the Bundle.
A correspondent of the Breeders Ga.
zette writes: Several instances OF barns
being consumed by fire originating
from spontaneous combustion of hay or
straw in them have been published in
your paper during the past year, and I
now send you notice of another which
occurred Tuesday evening, July %,
1890!
Mr.. Samuel B. Perry, Of Jefferson, O.,
was hoeing in his garden after his sup
per hour while it was yet light, and on
looking up from his work he saw fire
shining through cracks in his barn.
He went into the barn as soon as pos.
sible and found the fire to be wholly in
a NOW Of wheat in the bundle which
he had placed there the week before.
There had been no smoking, no lantern
light nor fire Of any nature around his
barn for many weeks, nor is there any
human probability that it was incendi-
airy work. Mr.. Perry informs me that
early last week he drew two loads of
newly-cut wheat from his field only
two days from the harvester, and in the
butts of the bundles was heavy growth
of new timothy seeding of grass
He examined the berries of his wheat
and concluded it was little too green
to 20 into the barn. We had beautiful
harvest weather-hot sun every day and
no storm-so that his grain cured fast
Two days after putting in his first load
he put in another load. Being busy with
his haying the fourth day he put in an
other load and the following Saturday
he put in the balance, six loads, making
ten loads of good heavy wheat, filling
his barn from scaffold floor over his
horse stable clear to the roof.
The fire when it first broke out was in
that part of the NOW where the two
loads were first put. Being on farm
and no help present but his wife he
could not put out the fire or save his
barn. He had $500 insurance on barn
which cost twice the money; $500 on
contents, and it was then damned full
of wheat and hay; 5000 on implements,
and for that he lost all his farm tools,
harness, wagon, and fine carriage, be-
cause as soon as he opened the front
door of the barn to look in the flames
spread so rapidly that nothing could be
done. His loss is so heavy that it pre-.
cludes any suspicion of his selling it to
an insurance company.
l have stated the particulars so fully
in order to caution others against run
ming any such great risk.
