An Extra Session.

An extra session of congress is still
talked of, and one will probably be
called to meet in September. Not,
however, to repeal the tariff, which we
are told was the one grand object of all
good democrats and the only question
before the American people, but to take
action on the money question. The re-
formers and the gold-bugs have both
forced this question to the issue. The
majority of congress are pledged to
their constituents for financial reform,
and whether in extra or regular session,
it remains to be seen whether Wall
street bribery can control enough votes
to plunge the nation deeper in debt
and hang another burden around the
neck of the producer and la borer. Con-
gress is being watched closer than ever
before, and its members should beware
how they trifie with their pledges

PECULIAR DOORS.

occupations and Diseases Can be Reoog-
nized by the Sense of Smell Alone
That most occupations may have
their specific ordors we can under
stand. Mr.. Monin sees nothing out of
the way in saying of the famous
Vidocq: place me in a crowd and
there 1 will pick out from among a
thousand a galley-bird by the smell
alone. Chomel observed for six weeks
a Ogroom suffering from pneumonia
whose sweat retained during all that
lapse Of time the smell of the stable.
In gout the skin secretions take a
special odor. which Sydenham COM
pares to that of whey In jaundice
the ordor is of musk; in oppilation, of
vinegar; of sour beer in scrofula stark
apud Hebra); of warm bread in
intermitten fever (Heim); in dia-
betes when there is perspira-
tion the smell is of hay Ia-
tham), or rather of acetone (Picot), but
according to Bouchardat, midway be-
tween aldehyde and acetone, being due
to mixture, in variable proportions, of
these two bodies. In cholera the odor
is ammoniacal (Drasch, Parker); it is
II,
in the onset period of the plague
(Diemerbroeck), or honey-lilke. accord
ing to Doppner, who observed the
plague at Vetlanka Lancet, February
l, 1879; acetoformic in rheumatism,
particularly in the region of the en-
gorged articulations (Monin); of new
plucked feathers in measles (rougeole);
OF new-baked bread in scarlatina; in
smallpox the odor is that of the fallow
deer; in typhoid fever it is that of blood
(Beheler).
Frederic Berard goes so far as to say
that, apart from the secretions, the GU
taneous odor draws flies to still living
body. However, little noticeable it
may be, it says death is near: a sweat
having cadaveric odor pre-
cedes death, says Boerhaave (Aphorism
72s OF the editio princeps). DIR. Althaus
tells us that Skoda hardly ever was
led into error by this indication, and
Crompton, of Birmingham, also laid
great stress upon this as an important
clinical symptom. But the smell given
out at the death agony is totally differ
ent from the death odor; 1t is universal
ly admitted to be specific, and it differs
entirely from the odor of putridity.
1t would be difficult to insure the ex-
actitude or, at least, the practical value
OF all these assertions. But they suffice
to show that there is ground in facts
for the occult judgments of somnam-
bules not only from the diagnostic, but
also from the prognostic, point of view.
Clearly disease is not bounded by the
surface or body; it goes beyond 1.-THE

A Lively Corpse.

Anybody who thinks the peoples
party is dead had better prepare now
for big surprise in the future, equal
to the one they had on reading the
election returns on November s, 1892.
The reform papers are stronger and
more aggressive than ever, and the
work of education in public affairs is
bearing daily fruit. The financial
question is fraught with considerable
danger to the democratic party, as the
south and west are undoubtedly in
favor Of either free silver or an imitation
of the currency by the issuance of
United States notes, based on the credit
of the country. This, with the free
trade tendencies developing in the west
and south in the peoples party ranks,
is likely to play sad havoc with the con-
servative element in the democratic
party when another fight comes off
The democrats will have to be real
democrats or be relegated to the rear
again, if the signs of the times are read
aright.-Baltimore Critic
