y SHINING EXAMPLE.

The attention of suffering wives
! is called to the plan of campaign
adopted by Mrs. Coopey Wagner of,
| Pittsburg. whose husband cane
home late from his club one night,
saws an exchange suffering from the
asticmatism which always follows
overindulgepce in iced beverages.
! She let Cooney have his own way
from the time of his arrival in the
house until he fell quietly off into
tue arms of Morpheus When he
attempted to argue with her, using
IL ilying pan to emphasize his points,
she suffered in silence. When he
renewed the controversy by striking
her over the head with a tea cup,
thrown with wonderful dexterity,
considering his condition she uttered
DO word of complaint, but sat silent.
But when Cooney, weary of his
oratorical efforts, subsidized into a
deep and somewhat sonorous, SUM
be. Mrs. Wagner realized that the
tine for action had arrived. She
was 10 longer silent and suffering.
Size became bundle of aggressive
nerves-an Empress Josephine OF
Domesticity. as it were. Going into
the back yard Of her residence. she
gathered together all the clothes
Inc within reach, and with this she
bound the dreaming CooneY hand
and foot, and then sat down to wait.
Morning came, and with it came
Cooney to his senses. He found
himself lying on his downy couch
face down, his arms bound by the
stout cords, his feet and legs i'm
movable from the same cause. Then
Mrs. Wagner rose in her might, and
Selling a large, fat shovel, she let
the reealcitrant Cooney have it for
all she was worth. For a full ten
minutes did she spank her now
repentant lord and master until he
howled with pain, it may be pre-
sumed, modification. The spank
ing administered, the lady-Who
now resembled Bellona, the Goddess
of War, rather than the meek Mrs.
Cooney, the victim of intolerable
peace-loosened the bonds about
her husbands legs, and led him,
still restrained as to his arms, to the
police station, and had him elected
to term in the Workhouse.
Surely there is much in this little
domestic dame that is worthy of the
attention of down-trodden woman:
and if it serves, by force of the ex-
ample set forth therein, to tighten
the woes of any suffering wife, it
will not have been printed in vain.

Now that the horrors of the bat

is true Indians are mean and treach-

United States is take care of them

treatment they get is enough to
make sayages out of civilized men
sooner than it would civilize them.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

EVIDENCE OF GREAT METEoRIc SHOWER.
In an account of Mexican meteori-
ties, Mr.. Fletch, an English mineral
ogist, describes fourteen huge masses
of iron which have been found within
small section of country. The
largest has the form of q bee hive,
rises four feet above the ground,
and is five feet in diameter at the
surface of the soil, beneath which it
extends to unknown depth. The
second mass, estimated to weigh
1000 pounds, is now in the National
Museum at Washington. The
Butcher masses number eight pieces,
weighing from 290 pounds to $50
pounds, and having a total weight of
of 1000 pounds. Bhe Sanchez estate
mass weighs 252 pounds, and the
Fort Duncan mass 9T4 pounds.
The greatest dispersion is sc miles.

HUNGER AND INFECTION.

The important fact that hunger in
creases, liability to contract certain
diseases has been demonstrated ex-
perimentally by two Turin doctors.
Pigeons usually resist anthrax, but
after a fast of six days they proved
amenable to the virus if food was
still, withheld, but resisted it if food
was given at the same time as the
virus. When the fasting was con-
tinued for two days after the inocu-
lation, and food then given, the
disease was not prevented, but ran a
slower course. Even birds well fed
up to the time of the incubation
proved susceptible to the virus if
kept without food after incubation.

chair and rocking, gentle but invig-
Grating breeze is diffused over the en-
tire person from the tube. 1t is es-
pecially agreeable to bald-headed
men, and an air shower bath of this
nature must be very pleasant for any
one on warm day. But the ingenius
MIR. Watson is determined that his
chair shall have all seasons for its
own, and next fall he will add an at
tachment unper the bellows consisting
kerosene or gas heater, which will SO
warm the current of air that the fort
unate owner of one of these chairs
viii find it as useful in winter as in
summer. A little scent bag concealed
in the bellows perfumes the air de
ightfully, whether it is hot or cold.
The air current in the summer will be
found excellent for discouraging the
attention of flies and mosquitoes, and
that the bald-headed man may take
his afternoon nap in it undisturbed,
Mr.. Watson has concealed spring
and the necessary mechanism under
the bellows, so that it may be wound
up like clock and run two hours,
of course, working the bellows. A
music box in the back, which plays
the national airs, completes the i'm
provement to date, though so long as
Mr.. Watson is spared his mental
faculties, no man can tell when others
may follow.
AS we said, the contrast between
the inventions of two neighboring
states of Iowa and Minnesota is truly
striking. But how much more will
those of Minnesota do for the cause oi
civilization? For instance, how much
| greater will be the influence for good
of the Watson hot and cold air rock
ing chair than will be that of the
hymn book that holds a quart-or
even two quarts.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the deceased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by Catarrhl

That we are the most inventive
people in the world, says the New
York Tribune, is a well known fact.
Indeed, the idea has been put toward
Tin this country that we are the most
remarkable people On the face of the
earth, and this is probably so, the
very fact that other nations do not
always recognize it being OF, itself
sufficient to show their great inferior
ity. But it is not to the purpose to
enlarge on this in the present instance,
our aim being simply to describe a
a certain small but wonderful inven-
ton just reported from the State OF
Minnesota. It is interesting to note
the passing marked difference in the
character of the inventions in Mime
sofa and Iowa. Lying close together
as the two states do, we would expect,
the writer adds, to find their inventive
talent running in generally parallel
lines, but such is not the case. The
inventive genius of Iowa seems to be
turned almost wholly to apparatus to
cireumvent the liquor prohibition law.
Thus we have the Dissolving Liquor
Store and the Flying Dutchman Sa-
loon, already mentioned in the Trib-
une's columns, the walking stick
which holds pint, the pocket bible
which holds quart, the amateur
camera which holds quart and a
half, the opera glass which holds two
drinks, and the raised and gloritied
silk hat which holds two quarts, a
pair of glasses, a silver spoon, lem
On, quarter of a pound of sugar, and
a dozen cloves. In Minnesota, where
no prohibitory law exists, we find in
yention turned to the arts of peace,
and scarcely a day passes that the
household, the Office, Or the factory is
not enriched by new idea of some
bright Minnesota man. We gather
the particulars of the latest invention
in that quarter from the columns of
the Republican, AN enterprising week
ly published at Lake City.
The new article in question is the
Ne Plus Ultra Rocking Chair, the in
vention of Mr.. A. r. Watson, and is

idea is that the rocking chair should
stand for comfort; but the ordinary
rocking chair, though surprising
every other invention of man for its
comfortable features, does not en-
body everything in that line. It has
been Mr.. Watson's pleasure and priv
ilage to supply some of these missing
adjuncts. Chief of these is the tenn
perature regulator. Underneath the
chair is small bellows. This is ope-
rated by the rocking of the chair, and
is connected with brass tube which
extends up the back of the chair and
slightly above it, where it curves
down and ends directly over the occu-
pants head. When sitting in the
