ASTHMA

1t is common error to suppose every dis
ease which is attended by. oppressed breath
ness of breath in Consumption and Pneumonia
just as we. do in Asthma, only that in these
diseases it is always present, whereas in asthma
it occurs in paroXysms.
Asthma is spasmodic disease of the lungs,
which manifests itself in periodic attacks or
''fits." 1t comes on suddenly and is attended
with great difficulty of breathing while it lasts;
but VIII IN the attack is oyer the patient breathes
almQst as well as in health
Nervous, iiumid and Dry Asthma are names
given to different forms of this disease. EN-
physema is another and more inveterate kind
OF Asthma While Hay Fever or Rose Re- Cold is
certain season of the year. Each of these
forms of disease differs somewhat from the
others in symptoms, bnt practically these dis.
matter to the patient which form of Asthma
he has, since his sufferings are the same in
yellow, and we call it bronchial. In another
it is light, and we call it dry When he coughs
up clear water, with white froth on the sur
face, we say he has Humoral Asthma In
Nervous Asthma there is very little expector-
alton of any kind. Hay Fever always begins
crying cold in the head or influenza, and
a clear water runs from the nose and the eyes
before the Asthma fit comes on In Emphysema
the expectoration is generally thick and con-
tinues SO in the interval between the fits,
while the shortness of breath is increased on
the slightest eXertiOn.
without courage and perseverance nothing
is curable. But with these, aided by proper
and skillful treatment, Asthma can be cured
even after the lungs are extensively diseased
Persons desiring treatment by this system of
practice can use the remedies at home as well
as at our office, and which will cause no incon
venience or hindrance from business whatever.
Every case OF Asthma is curable Eastern
visitors and invalids will be wise in being
cured before they return home.
Those who desire to consult with me in regard
to their had better call at the office for
examination, but if impossible to visit the office
personally can write for list of questions and
circular, both of which will be sent free of
charge. Address

For ss'1ast two years the German
governmspt has been making inqui-
ries into the life, history and ravages
of one of the most remarkable worms
known to exist. This wonderful crea-
ture, whose gluttonous appetite is only
satisfied after a feed on common steel,
was first brought into general notice
by an article in The Cologne Gazette in
June, 1887.
For some time preceding the publ
cation of the account mentioned the
greatest CONSERVATION existed among
the engineers employed on the rail-
way at Hagen by accidents which al
ways occurred at the same place, prov
ing that some terrible defect must exist
either in the material or the construc-
ton of the rails.
The government became interested
and sent a commission to the spot for
the purpose of maintaining a constant
watch at the place where the accidents
one of them attended with loss of
life-had occurred. 1t was not, how
ever, until six months had elapsed that
the surface of the rails appeared TO be
corroded, as if by acid, to the extent
of over 100 yards.
The rail was taken up and broken,
w~hereupon it was found to be literally
honeycombed by a thin, threadlike,
gray worm. The worm is said to be
two centimeters in length and Of about
the bigness of a common knitting
needle. 1t is OF a light gray color, and
on the head it carries two little sacs or
glands, filled with a most powerful
corrosive secretion, which is elected
every ten minutes when the little de-
mon is lying undisturbed. This liquid
when squirted upon iron renders it
soft aud spongy and of the color of
dust, when it is easily and greedily
devoured by the little insect. There
is no exaggeration, says the official
report, I'm the assertion that this crea-
ture is one of the most voracious, for it
has devoured thirty-six Kilograms of
rails in a fortnight. Chicago Tri-

1t was rather an innovation to the old
time jewellers to discover in some of the
leading magazines and newspapers ad
vertisements offering their wares at
prices which strike the casual reader as
being remarkably cheap. One of the
oldest houses in New York, for instance,
has offered to sell diamond rings, which
are fit for the hand of any lady or gen
tleman in the land" at prices varying
from s55 upward. The high standing of
the house naturally stamps such an offer
as being sincere an honest, but certainly
most men would be impressed with the
idea that a diamond ring for that amount
Of money could not present many points
of value.
A slight investigation shows that the
general cheapening agency of machinery
is at work in this branch of trade as N
all the others. What formerly required
the work of n single man for nearly a
day-that is, the metal part of the ring
is now stamped out and fitted ready to
receive the stone with a rapidity which
is astonishing. The only cost to be con-
sidered is the rent of the machine and
the value Of the crude gold. Inserting O
cheap diamond in the surface of the
ring is about all the manual labor in
volved. The journeymen jewellers do
this work with great rapidity, and prac-
tically there is very little cost to the
jewelry firm beyond the first cost OF the
gold and the diamond.-San Francisco

Emperor Ego is the nickname Will.
lam II has won for himself here, writes
a Paris correspondent, 81, me, my,
mine" being pronouns that crop up con-
stantly in his speech and letters. His
kilograms to Prince Bismarck, published
as soon as they arrive, are models OF
the egotistical style. There's nothing
pleases him more than to find himself
repeated in print. The first Emperor
William had served up to him in his old
age, along with his breakfast every
morning, two papers, OF which special
editions were cooked up exclusively for
him. He was not aware Of this. No
journal was ever a cause of sharper cab
inent chickering's than this one. Each
minister wanted the lions share of
space, thus to influence the august read
err. Bismarck eventually managed this
special issus himself. The copy which
met with his approval was known as
pap for the emperor" who, long befor>
his death, had fallen farther into second
childhood than any one suspected.

1t has been computed that the com
mon house fly, in ordinary flight
makes 600 strokes per second and adj
vances twenty-five feet, but that rate
of speed, if the insect be alarmed, may
be increased SIX or eve fold, so that
under certain circumstances 1t can
outstrip the flectest ace horse. 1t is
no uncommon thing to see a bee or
wasp eudeavoring to get in at the win
dow of a railway train In full speed,
and it is calculated that if a small in.
sect can fly faster than a race horse
can run an insect as large as a horse
would be able to travel as fast as a can
non ball.
Leunwenholk relates an exciting
chase which he beheld in a menagerie
about 100 feet long between a swallow
and a dragon fy-among the swiftest
of insects. The insect flew with in
credible speed and wheeled with such
address that the swallow, in spite of
its utmost efforts, completely failed to
overtake and capture 1t.
A pigeon fancier of Hamme, in
Westphalia, recently made a wager
that a dozen bees liberated three miles
from their hive would reach it i'll bet
ter time than a dozen pigeons would
reach their cote from the same dis
lance. The competitors were given
wing at Ryhern, a village nearly a
league from Hamme, and the first bee
reached home a quarter of a min
ute in advance Of the first pigeon.
Three other bees reached the goal be-
fore the second pigeon, the main body
of both attachments finishing almost
simultaneously an instant or two later.
The bees, it may be mentioned, had
been handicapped in the race, having
been rolled in flour before starting
for purposes Of Identification. Accord
