ABSOLUTELY PURE

To a certain extent such a discharge is
continuous it serves to remove foreign
substances from the eye, and, being
slightly saline, it performs and indispen
sable function by keeping the eye con.
stantly bathed. The lachrymal glands
lie between the nervous center and the
Shiny surface OF the apple of the eye.
Tears afford US an insight into the
manner by which excited nerves pro-
mote a discharge from a secreting
organ by pressure on both sides of it.
Inner nervous vibrations, and external
stimuli or reflex responses, produce a
flow of tears. In both cases the impulse
proceeds from vibrations. Both the
sentimental Niobe and the poor fellow
tormented with steel filing in his eye,
are lnvoluntarily subjected to the same
influences. The both shed salt tears,
without external cause or reflex action
as, for example when one weep over
visions of narrowing scenes, conjured
up by reading or hearing of them.
1t is the emotions-sympathy, sor-
row, anxiety, etc,-and not pain or
hatred, which provoke tears. The
pains of maternity are fearless, except
as consequence of the dreamy condl-
ton induced by anssthetics, and this
is quite ineligible, for tears are purely
springs of emotions which by their flow
tighten the heart, but which contribute
nothing to the relief of physical pain.
A person who cries for pain does pro-
badly IN compassion for himself
sympathy, in fact.
For persons addicted to weeping,
changes CT scene, distraction, and open
air exercises are the best remedies. In
diligence in alcoholic drinks is especial
ly prejudicial, as it disturbs the balance
of nervous system, and promotes
maudlin sentimentality; opium, on the
other hand, if taken tefore retiring
really stills the rebellious nervous
system.
Tears have their value, also, from
the humanitarian point of view, not for
themselves, but as indications that
mental anguish is bereft of its sting
under the influence of their flow.

WHERE ARE THE WICKED FOLKS
BURIED2

Tell me- gray haired sexton, l said,
Nv here in this field are the wicked folks laid?
1 have wandered the quiet old graveyard through
And studied the epitaphs, old and new,
But on monument, obelisk, pillar or stone
l read no evil that men have done,''
The old sexton stood by grave new made,
With his chin on his hand, his hand on spade
1 knew by the CLEAN of his eloquent eye
That his heart was instructing his lips to reply.
who is the judge when the soul takes its flight
Who is foJudge twIxt the wrong and the right?
Which OF US mortals shall dare to say
That our neighbor was wicked who died today?
SIN our journey through life the farther we speed
The better we learn that humanty's need
Is charitys spirit, that prompts us to find
Rather virtue than vice in the lives OF our kind.
Therefore, good deeds we record on these stones;
The evil that do, let 1t die with their bones;
have labored as sexton this many year,
But l never have buried a bad man here"

YAWN ALL YOU PLEASE.
A Doctor Says 1t Is One of the
Best of Natures Remedies.

According to the current ideas yawn
ing in good society is an improper sign
of WEAKNESS according to the teach
lngs of physiology, it is long drawn,
forcible inspiration followed by a
shorter respiration according to DR..
Naegeli, it is one Of natures many
remedies, the proper application of
which depends upon good judgement.
In yawniDg, not only the muscles
which move the lower jaw are used,
but also the breathing muscles of the
chest, and he who yawns to his heart S
content also raises and extends the
arms. In the deepest inspiration the
chest remains extended for a short
time, the eyes are almost or entirely
closed, the ears somewhat raised, the
nostrils dilated. Inside the mouth,
the tongue becomes round and arched,
the palate stlffy stretched, and the
uvula is raised, almost entirely closing
the space between the nose and throat.
At the beginning Of the inspiration a
cracking noise is heard in the ears,
proof that the duct leading to the
hearing also succumbs to this stretch
ing.
If the yawning has reached the dep.
est point it will require from one to one
and half seconds Tor it to bee )me
noticeable to the hearing. In order to
observe this, let one place himself at
sufficient distance from a clock, so that
its ticking will not be- ealsly heard and
yawn deeply. During this deep breath
ing the sound of the clock is not per-
ceptlble to the most careful listening.
All this simply goes to show that yawn
ing sets number of muscles to work,
and particularly those which are not
directly subject to the will.
Although one yawnlng does not pre-
sent very agreeable appearance, it is
very agreeable to himself, for the
stretching OF the muscles causes feel
ing OF comfort; it acts like massage,
and is the most natural gymnastics OF
the lungs imaginable. DR.. Naegell,
therefore, advises people not to concern
themselves with so called decency, but
every morning and evening, and as
often as possible, to exercise the lungs
and all the muscles of respiration by
yawning and stretching, as many
chronic lung troubles may thus be pre-
vented.
DR.. Naegeli orders the patient trou-
bled with too much wax in the ear, &C.
dompanied with pain, to yawn often
and deeply. The pain will sooa disap
pear. He also, in the case of nasal ca
tarrb, Inflammation of the palate, sore
throat and earache, orders the patient
as often as possible during each day to
yawn firm six to ten times successfully,
and Immediately afterwards to swallow.
The result will be surprising. If one
looks upon yawning as natural mas
sage for certain organs he will reach a
satisfactory explanation of its curative
properties,

TEARS, IDLE TEARS !"
Something About Their Physi-
Ology and Psychology.

Terror, griet, and joy, says Der Stem
der Weisen for January (Llterary
Digest translation), 10 say nothing of
other emotions, bring tears to the eyes.
Tears are the natural product of
emotional excitement, the result OF a
storm in the central nervous system, in
ducing changes in the lachrymal glands
and a discharge of water from them.

DISINFECTING ROOMS.

In the disintection of rooms every
thing which has been in the room
during its occupancy by case Of
infectious disease should remain during
the dislnfecuon all pictures, uphol-
stored furniture, organs, and similar
articles, which are likely to be injured
by a fumigation should be removed
before the patient is put into the room.
An organ would doubtless be utterly
ruined by the fumigatioD, as would
also an ordinary gilt picture frame, as
the sulphur fumes would attack the
metal reeds, and would be likely to
take all the gliding from the picture
frames. Such articles may be disin-
fectcd by other means, as for example,
by wiping with five per cent solution
of carbolic acid or a one two thousand
solution of corrosive subllmate. Cor
rosiye sublimate will discolor metal
articles with which it is brought in con-
tact; it can be used only for wood
furniture or vanished surfaces.

men when he killed the McCartys. When
you hear man talking that way, and

keep your hand on your pockct-book

sec him coming. He is bad man. Ray
Simpson did noble deed. Two Of the
most desperate criminals on the Western

(s6K00KUM ROOT HAIR GROWER,

And now comes Ed r. Holden, whose
blatherskite utterances have done more
to injure this State than that Of any
other man, whose wild kilograms began
the Colorado panac and put us SO in the
hole with Eastern investors, whose
vaporings about Western empire and
other reasonable schemes have hurt us
so that ten years Of reason and common
sense will hardly repair the damage
now comes this same Ed Holden, and is
given two and half columns Of space in
Last Tuesdays News to explain how a
local Republican victory next month
would mean "a slap at silver"
This wild and visionary crank, in whose
Uranium revolve innumerable wheels,
talks about an injury to silver when,
forsooth, he and his ilk n 1t only injured
silver, but gold, and lead, and copper,
and coal, and crops Of every kind, and
land, and rents, and business OF every
description, and credit, and the honor of
the State. They have injured every man,
woman and child in Colorado. Not a
home, not store, not a manufactory
not farm, not a mine, but has been par
alyzed quite as much by the theories Of
Holden and Waite as by the dastardly
attempts Of the administration to put
away the nations silver money and sub
stitute the gold of Wall street.
A few days ago Milw .u',ee hat firm re-
fused to do business with Colorado except
on cash basis, giving as their reason
that "the indiscreet suggestions Of your
governor and others, have precipitated
upon yourself and other business men
there, calamity, and a loss in the way
OF withdrawal OF outside confidence and
credit that it will take time to restore.
This firm is not to blame. 1t is just
such foolish blabbers as Holden and
Waite who have injured the State. Kan
sas has been commercially killed by the
same tribe. Kansas cannot borrow a
dollar in the East with which to carry
on it's enterprises. II these men get the
upper hand this fall Colorado will be in
the same position.
Is that what Colorado wants?-Sun.

Death OF Captain j. S. Maury.

Capt. John Siifrein Maury died
on Saturday at the Baltimore
City Hospital after an illness
of two weeks. Death was caused by
Bright's disease aud a complication of
disorders. Captain Maury was born in
North Carolina about 60 years ago and
his life has been an interesting one.
When quite young he entered the
Naval Academy, and was one of the
first cadets in the institution. After
graduating, he entered the United
States navy and was in active service
until 1861 when war between the
States was declared. At this time he
resigned his position of first lieutenant
of the Cumberland and entered the
navy of the Confederate States. He
was appointed captain in the naval
service of the South and commanded
one Of the contingent gunboats which
accompanied the ram Merrimac into
the memorable engagement with the
Monitor in the waters of Hampton
Roads. 1t was in this fierce struggle
that he saw his old ship sunk by the
forces with whom he had enlisted. Af-
forwards he was stationed at Drury's
Bluff, and served bravely at many
points before the defeat of Richmond.
His war record is one Of selfsacrifce to
the cause he had espoused and for
which he fought long and courageously.
At the close of the war he returned to
his home in Baltimore and engaged in
the insurance business. He was also a
veteran of the Mexican war. His wife,
who died several years ago, was the
daughter of Henry d. Reardon. He
leaves no children. One brother, Capt.
Jefferson A1aury. of California, and a
sister, Mrs John Dunlop, ofRichmond,
survive him.
