LANCASTER, Pa. Sept. 3.-Ella

The attending physician was utterly
batlled and his medicines availed but
little. The stranye case has excited the
interest Of other doctors, who have come
TO inquire about it.
She began sneczlng last Sunday night
at s O'Clock. She was not suffering from
any cold. The sneezing continued with
out minutes cessation the whole night
with the exception OF 3 short two hours,
when, exhausted. the girl fell into a
heavy sleep.
Early on Monday morning the girl
again began sneeZlng, and kept it W all
day with a two hours interval Of sleep.
From noon Of that day until II O'Clock
that night Ella sneezed without g mo-
ment's pause. 4 hypodermic injection
otmorphia was then administered, which
put her to sleep until Tuesday morning,
at 6 O'Clock. she then awakened very
sick. For two hours she WAS extremely
i'll. Then the sneez:ng began once more,
and it continued the greater part OF the
day.
She would occasionally have rest for
Jew moments. She complained Of a
pain in her hack and head. At times
the sreezirg was more severe than at
others. Curing the severe spells she
could scarcely catch her breath. Many
times the anxious mother thou. lit her
daughter vas straDgling to death.
The sneeZ:ng reached its climax on
Tuesday evening. The doctor Hho at
tended the child was helpless before
such an enemy. 1t was plain to all that
if reliet did not soon come death would.
\ heavy injection Of morphine was
the last resort. This put her to sleep,
and she slept soundly until Wednesday
morning. When she got awake she
again began sneezing, but it was mild

quent and of shorter duration. On Fri
day they ceased altogether.
This is the third attack the girl has
bad. and, for the time it lasted, was the
severest. Two years ago she was afflicted
in this way, but then The sneezing con-
tinued for ten days. When it ceased
the Girl was reduced to mere skeleton.
A year ago she was attacked a sec ond
time. Then the malady lasted three
days.
DR.. J. w. Hess was her physician.
He says that there is nothing known in
medical practice to reach such cases.
The girl has been subject to hemor-
rhages of the nose, but she has had none
for four weeks. The doctor hoped in
the early part OF her illness for such a
hemorrhage, believing that with it the
sneeZing would cease.

IF IT DON'T PAY, QUIT IT!
There IL No Need to Ralse Cotton at Seve


Cents.
To the Editor of the News and Cou
rier: There is another phase of the
oyer-production OF cotton that has not
been touched upon. although 1t may
have heen in the thoughts Of many OF
YOUR farmer readers. The cultivation
of cotton in the South Atlantic States
is doomed. Handicapped at the very
outset by the necessity of purchasing
commercial manureS we enter the race
with the Gulf States at disadvantage
There is a saying among farmers that
six cents cotton and one hundred dol
lars year negroes cannot grow III the
same field
Texas. with her four feet of black
soil, made about 25 per cent of the cot
ton crop this past year, and | venture
to say n five years time Will double
her present yield. Is it fair 20 call
halt on Texas or any other Gulf State
because we cannot keep up with the
procession? Labot in the South At
lanlic States is getting scarcer and
higher each year, our lands are wasting
away under cotton cultivation, which
requires about thirteen months in the
year, and this despot which has 80 long
held us in heecy chains is now trans
ferring his seat Of empire across tue
Mississippi. Let him go, and instead
of bemoalling our fate let US turn our
thoughts and efforts to other produc-
tons.
Surely tile men who stood amidst
the ruins of 1865 and worked out deliv
erance with none to help save God, need
not be dismayed at this present out.
look. Is there man east Of the Mis-.
sissigpi who can say truly that cotton
as his chief crop will pay him at six
cents, or even seven cents. 1t Will DO
d gigantic and iron bound combination
that could reduce the production of
cotton. We have no right to cramp
the largest efforts OF Texas and Arkan-
sas because our few bales are made at
loss. We must go to grain aid grass
and cow peas and stock, and reduce our
cotton fields down into cotton patches,
aud small ones at that. Does it seem
too mild to say that before the dawn Of
the next century the South Atlantic
States will not make enough cotton to
supply the mills within their limits,
and that financially they will be lar
ahead Of their present status, over and
above the regular increase.

Their Influence on the Marriages g
Their Daughters.

Their Influence on the Marriages of
Their Daughters.
1t is often said that romance is shocked at
the idea of a mother finding a husband for
her daughter, writes Amslia E. Barr in The
LADIES' Home Journal, but delicacy is
equally shocked at a young girl hunting a
husband entirely by herself. Mother and
home throw a charm and a refinement
around such efforts, and no good young
man will refuse to acknowledge the wisdom
and lespectsbitity of the English custom
that "a wife is to be courted on her fathers
hearthstone." 1t is very easy to resent this
supposed necessity of girlish innocence,
but it is a necessity in spite of all protes-
tations to the contrary. If, indeed, the
young are capable of self-direction, the
mothers are a mistake. and all that holy
writ n wise men have said, is false and
antiquated, and behind the youth of this
generation.
But surely a mother who has made all
the conditions of her daughters life for
eighteen years, may at least advise her
child On the making of her marriage and
her home. For, if she be a good mother,
she will always consider that within due
limits a manageable daughter should be
Entrusted with her own destiny. She will
know that it is "a of the secrets Of wise
management to manage as little as possible
and never to interfere in things of small
moment. Mothers, then, ought to supple
rience and emotions of their daughters,
and to warn them against passions which
bring evil unless guarded and directed to
good ends.

Away up in the gulch he had found one

named Gurd started out for the place with
supplies and tools. He named the mine
the Toughnut, because he had found it
pretty hard after be had discovered it.
There were times when he would have
sold it for a drink of water. The next
n they discovered they called
the Goodenough mine. When they
came to the next one they had a little
falling out, and he named it the Conten-

in. These were all disposed of by him for
a handsome sum, and he is now a three
