Keep salt Out of the Nostriis.

A late paper by medical authority
advises against the common and ..un-
healthy remedy" of shutting a solu-
ton of salt and water for catarrhal
troubles. IN its place is recon-
mended solution Of warm water and
bicarbOnate of Soda teaspoonful of
soda to cupful of water. The same
solution is prescribed for acute sore
throat in the place of chlorate of
potassium. Nv whatever solution is
used in the nose" says the writer of
the paper, lit is great mistake to
forcibly snuff it into the nostrils from
the palm of the hand. If it is snuffed
too forcibly it is forced into the upper
part of the nasal cavity. where it is
very irritating, often causing head
ache and irritation of the eyes. The
best and simplest way to use the soda
solution is to bury the nose entirely
in the cup of fluid and then gently
suck the solution into the nose, at
the same time holding the mouth
wide open. New York Post

THE ToNoUIN PEAR,. MYTH.
Celebrated Legend of Drops of Blood
That Turned to PeacIs.

SeIeDrated Legend oil Drops OF Blood
That Turned to Pearis.
The celebrated ..Toneuin Pearl
Myth" or Legend of the Golden
Bow" is both curious and interest
ing. Mythologists will tell you that
in all countries where precious stones
are found remarkable legends and
curious myths are always related by
the natives to account for the origin
Of the gems, such as the u onquin
Pearl Myth" which is as follows:
There was once a Tonquinese king
so well skilled in magic as table able
to make bow of pure liquid gold,
which he afterwards hardened and
tempered to suit his taste. The
arrows fired from this wonderful
golden bow always struck the mark
and were also certain death, even
though the wound be ever so slight;
this being the case it is clear that
the bow was pledge of perpetual
victory. The kingly owner of this
strange weapon. therefore had no
difficulty in defeating the kings which
surrounded him, taking their lands
and making the people tributaries.
In the course of time his daughter
married the son of one of the defeat
ed kings. and, on the very day of the
marriage, this crafty son-in-law pre-
vailed upon his wife to procure for
him the magic bow and to substitute
therefor a golden bow made in exact
imitation, but, of course. lacking the
magical powers. She did so, being
in ignorance of the virtues of the tai
isman her father had so long carried
on his victorious raids, and the re-
suit was that her parent was COM
PEELED to surrender to his unworthy
son-in-law. Then the demons in
formed the dcposed king of the
source of his late misfortunes and he
forthwith seized his daughter and
prepared to cut off her head with his
scimitar.
While preparations were being
made the unhappy daughter protested
her innocence, even on Bonded knee,
but her tears availed nothing.
Finally, as a last resort, she declared
to her father that every drop of her
innocent blood that was shed would
turn to pearls. Instantly the en-
ragged sire flashed his blade and the
blood of his daughter fell in showers
of beautiful pearls. Since that day
the sandy plain upon which she was
murdered has been the richest pearl
field in all Tonauin.

from New York to Chicago in seven or
eight hours
II remember also reading short time
ago in one of Walter Welman's letters
that Thomas A. Edison, the greatest genius
Of this century, says electricity is terrestrial
magnetism, and that the universe is fun of
it. According to Edison, the present sys-
TEN of producing electricity by friction is
very expensive compared with what may
be done 10y simpler processes. Edison be
lievcs electricity may be pumped out of the
earth, or the sen, or he air, just as water IS
pumped out Of Il stream, the only thing
necessary being to find the form of pump
that will do the trick.
This, understand, Edison is nov look
ing for and experimenting on, and if we
may estimate his future accomplishment
by what hc has already done he will sue
coed in finding the pump that will extract
electricity or terrestrial magnetism or
whatever it is from the earth at cost so
low as to make electricity the universal
power Imagine the revolution that will
come in all civilization if Edison or some
one else succeeds in doing this Given
electricity at one-tcnth the present cost ,
and electrical power will become universal
Steam and all other sorts of power will be
dispaccd and with invention stimulated,
as it will be, by the extraordinary cheap
ness of the new power, what may we not
expect in the way of rapid transit, house
hold convcniencos, electrical carriages to
take the place of horses, elevators in bust
ness and private houses, and all sorts of
machinery?
/ "lf this theory of Edison proves to be cor
rect, and the electrical experts are not mis-
taken in their plans for rapid travel, the
next hundred years will develop changes
more stupcnGous than have been shown by
/ the last hundred in which pretty nearly
every useful thing there is in the world has
been invented. cannot rid myself Of the
belief that we are On the eve of an indus

search and experiment, and | take much
comfort from the reflection that the people
