No Demand for Old Clocks.

There is no longer the demand for

may not go ninety years without blum
dering it will keep good time, and its
works are apparently indestructible.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE PLATYPuS.

A Wonderful Mammal which Cost the
British Association Over $40, 900.
The plaSypus, a small molelike beast
of Australia, has been voted the palm
for being the most extraordinary mann
NAL in the known world. For the last
twenty years its skin has been highly
priced as an article of commerce, YET
during all of that time scientists have
been trying to settle the question wheth-
er it is born alive or Matched from an
egg. During the summer of 1885, q
cablegram was sent from Sydney, Au
stralia, to London, by Professor Liver
sidge to the effect that Mr.. w. Fl. Cald
well, who holds the Balfour travelling
fellowship of Cambridge, had at last set.
tied the matter. Mr.. Caldwell was sent
out to Australia by the British associa-
ton for the express purpose of studying
the life history of this wonderful Great
ure, a mission which was finally reward
ed in the year above mentioned by the
discovery of the eggs and nest of this
living contradiction of nature.
Gerard Krefft, gentleman sent out
by the British scientific societies about
1890, offered as high as $500 for an egg
of the platypus without being able to OBJ
tain one. Still the Bushmen of the re-
gion inhabited by the creature positively
declared that the animal did lay eggs,
even if they had failed to produce one at
the request of the scientists, stimulated
by the promise of $1,000 if they would
produce pair of freshly Matched young.
During Krefft's tour of investigation
numbers of platypus were caught, many
in the pairing season, and dissected, yet
no traces of eggs were found. whereupon
scientists were inclined to believe that
the creatures had been misrepresented
when spoken of in connection with the
eggs, and that they were really vivipar-
GUS.
The body of the platypus resembles
the mole, and is covered with close,
short, grayish brown fur. Like the
beaver, its tail is broad and fattened.
A horny extension of the jaws forms a
beak like that of duck, their margins
being sheathed with horn and supplied
with transverse horny plates, two in each
jaw, but these are not true teeth. The
toes are united by membrane or web,
SO that the animal is enabled to swim
with great ease. 1t inhabits small
streams and ponds, living principally. if
not wholly, on insects. When the young
are Matched they are blind and quite
naked. The method by which they OBJ
tain milk from the mother is still OBJ
scure, as the creature has no nipples,
only fiat surface; norris there any mar
supial pouch, The beak of the young is
wholly unlike that of an adult.
II cost the British association over
$4,000 to ascertain the above facts
First, the instruments and apparatus
with which Mr.. Caldwell was fitted out
cost e1 900. Besides that, he spent over
fourteen months in Australia before he
was able to take the coveted peep at the
rare creatures eggs.-St. Louis Republic.

ASTHMA

AS HMA
1t is common error to suppose every dis
ease which is attended by oppressed breath
ing to be Asthma or Phthisic We have short
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
Asthma is spasmodic disease of the lungs
which manifests itself in periodic attacks or
with great difficulty of breathing while it lasts;
but when the attack is over the patient breathes
almost as well as in health.
Nervous, Humid 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 Cold is
certain season of the year. Each of these
forms of disease differs somewhat from the
others in symptoms, but practically these dis
matter to the patient which form of Asthma
he has, since his sutferings are the same in
all. In one case the expectoration becomes
1t 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
alton of any kind. Hay Fever always begins
a 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
1t is foolish conceit OF many people to be-
lieve that if they have Asthma they cannot get
Consumption. The truth is the very opposite.
They are more liable to fall into Consumption
because they have the Asthma. Another idea
is that the Asthma itself is not dangerous dis
ease, and yet the published bills of mortality
for this city prove to all who read them that
great numbers lose their lives every year by
this foul destroyer of our homes.
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 we'll as
at our office, and which will cause no incon-
venience or hindrance from businefs whatever.
Every case, Of Asthma is durable. Eastern
visitors and invalids will be wise in being
cured before they return home.
Those who desire to consult me in regard
to their cases had better call at the Office for an
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
