However, if there is danger, camphor

FinCer-Nail Polishing.

There are encouraging signs that the
craze for tinger-nail polishing is in a
fair way of abatement. l do not know
exactly what instinct of barbarity led
one-half of New York to start in on a
rabid career of dissipation in the matter
of nail-polishing year or so ago, but

in shop by young woman whose fin
gers are stained to the knuckle- Joints
with what looks like crimson ink, and
to encounter on all sides maroon finger
nails, which have been butchered and
polished and wrought upon until they
look like anything but human. These
things are easily enough forgiven in
women, however. The rub comes with
the presence of lordly and corpulent
men who walk into public billiard
room or cafe and laboriously display
huge knotted fists and stubby fingers,
the nails of which are artifcially col
ored. mans hand, as rule, is a
grewsome thing at best, but when his
finger nails are doctored the incongruity

One of the Most Common and Destructive
of Household Pests.
This is one of the most common and
widely distributed household pests that
we have. 1t is cosmopolitan, having
been carried all over the world in cloth
ing. There are three different species
known to injure clothing, furs and
feathers. The most common one of
these is represented, greatly enlarged.
Along in May and June the little moth
goes fitting about through our ward
robes and into chests and drawers
where we would think it impossible for
any insect to enter. After she has
found some desirable article of clothing,
and penetrated deep into the dark re-
cesses amongst the folds, she deposits
some fifty or more eggs, from which is.

pillars (b) that do the injury. AS they
feed on the garment they build cases
around them, as in icy, from little frag-
ments of the cloth woven together and
nicely lined inside by the softest of silk
secreted from glands in the head. The
cases are increased in size and length
as the Larvae grow. The little larv@
never leaves it's case, but drags it along
as it advances. Instances are known
where the case has been carried in this
way up fifteenfoot wall and fastened
in the upper corner. Some such Sc
cluded place as this is chosen in which
to rest through the winter. Early,Iin
the spring it changes to a pupa, and
then soon energies into a tiny moth.
Clothing and articles usually attacked
by these moths will not be damaged if
frequently used through the summer
season. Those articles not to be used,
should be thoroughly shaken and

AHMADOU THE MIGHTY.

A Chocolate-Colored Sultan Who Has
Long Fought the French in Africa.
Sultan Ahmadou is one of three DOW
erful rulers who contested almost step
by step the advance of France up the
Senegal river and to the Niger. Alma
dou is the last of these rulers to succumb
to the power of France. The French
have finally cleared the field of their
most formidable foes. and it is certain
that the stormiest period of the French
occupation of Sanegambia is now at
an end.
Ahmadou has long ruled the large
tending to the Nigar. His stronghold
on that river was Segu-Sikoro, VIII re
he had large fort with very thick
wooden walls, which, in the opinion of
Frenchmen who had passed it on the
river, could never be taken except by a
cannonade.
Last year Segu-Sikoro fell into the
hands of the French during the absence
of Ahmadou in the northwestern part
of his territory, where he had another
stronghold at Moro, in the large dis
trict of Kaarta. The French were very
jubilant over the fall of Segu-SiEoro.
Ahmadou had given them far more
trouble than any other of their fanati-
cal foes.
In 1887 he made a treaty of peace
with France, but it was not long before
he violated his promises and resumed
his old policy of giving battle to France
every time her forces made an advance

A CATS WHISPERS.
They Seem Ornamental, But They Are
Decidedly Useful.

Decidedly Useful
Nature is an economical dame, and
never INDUCES in useless gifts. If she
gives an animal or plant an appendage
of any kind, we may be sure that it
serves some wise purpose.
Take cats whiSkcrs, for instance,
which may seem to you to be merely
ornamental They arc organs of touch,
attached to bed of fine glands under
the skin, and each of these long hairs
is connected with the nerves of the lip.
The slightest contact of these whiskcrS
with any surrounding object is thus
felt most distinctly by the animal, al
though the hairs themselves are insen-
sible.
They stand out on one side of the
lion as well as the common cat From
point to point they are equal to the
width of the animals body.
If we imagine, therefore, a lion steal
ing through covert of wood in an i'm
perfect light, we shall at once see the
use OF these long hairs. They indicate
to him through the incest feeling any
obstacle which may present itself to
the passage of his body; they prevent
the rustling of boughs and leaves,
which would give warning to his prey
if he were to attempt to pass too close
to a bush; and thus, in conjunction
with the soft cushions of his feet and
the fur upon which he trcads-thc
claws never coming into contact with
the ground-thoy enable him to move
toward his victim with stiffness equal
to that of a snake -Sonth Boston

An extraordinary Advertisement.


A few days since a man entered q
lawyers Office where happened to be
for moment, looked around in rather
cautious and theatrical fashion and slow
ly opened a large leather valise which he
carried in one hand. From this he ex
tracted a small parcel done up in brown
paper and, laying it ON convenient
desk, said softly to the clerk, "That's for
the boss" Then he tiptoed out of the
Office. The parcel was at once taken to
the lawyer, who tore off the wrappings
and discovered a small china breakfast
plate, upon which lay what looked ex-
actly like a fried egg. The egg was
squashed up little bitpn the plate ap-
parently and it was movable. The plate
was bona fide, but the alleged egg was
made of papier mache. We all looked
at it carefully, and after a little prying
about it was found that the yolk of the
egg could be lifted.
Under it lay what was apparently
peanut. This was opened, and within
it there was found small sheet of white
tissue paper upon which few letters
were family visible. The lawyer went
to the window, with everybody follow
ing at his heels, examined the paper
closely, and discovered upon it an ad-
vertisement of hair restorer and pre-
ventive of badness. Then he threw the
whole outfit into the corner with growi
and went back to his desk. 1t struck
me as being about the most complete ad-
vertisement that have seen of late. 1t
is an illustration of the extraordinary
length to which advertisers go in their

BRONCHITIS.


Bronchitis is disease of the mucous mem
brane of the air passage, and is one OF the most
common OF the pulmonary affections. Chronic
bronchitis more, often appears later in life.
When cold settles on the lungs the disease
either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia. If it
ends in bronchitis it usually passes off as cold
entirely i well. N He feels tired and ianguid and
is incapable of taking his usual amount of
exercise, and experiences shortness of breath
with more or less warmth in the PAINS of the
hands. Soon after this cough appears, ac-
companied by an expectoration of thick mu-
cous, followed by a hectic flush. loss OF flesh
and strength, and night sweats continue, when
the patient assumes all the appearance OF hav-
ing genuine case of consumption. But this
is simply eatarrh of the lungs or chronic bron-
chitis.
The patient usually dies from exhaustion
and sufocation, being unable to expectorate
the mucous which accumulates in the passage
leading to the lungs, which in some cases is
sticky and small in quantity, but more COM
