DANGER IN PUNGENT DOORS.
Smelling Salts Injurious to the OIfa Glory
Nerves and a Cause of Deafness.

Smelling Salts Injurious to the OIfactory
Nerves and Cause of Deafness.
Everyone does not know that aro-
matte salts and very strong, pungent
odors are injurious to the nerves of
smell and often produce serious if not
incurable difficulties. 1t is we'll under
stood, says writer in the Philadelphia
! Times, that certain scents start the &C
ton Of the secretory glands Of the nose
and throat, and often the eyes fill up
with tears. Frequent indulgence in the
use OF such perfumes will soon overtask
| the secretOry organs and weaken them
Some day the person observes that the
hearing Is less acute than usual and the
sense Of smell seems defective. This is
| of course accredited to a cold or some
similar cause and but little is thought
| of it.
After a time the entire head be-
comes affected, hearing and smell are
almost If not entirely lacking and there
are throat and lung complications
not fatal, illness. 1t has taken the
medical world a great many years to
discover that loss of hearing is almost
invariably caused by some disease of
the throat or nose, or both. But very
recent researches in these fields have
demonstrated this fact beyond question,
and it is now admitted by the most
advanced medical men that, aside from
rupture of the ear drum, there is scarce
ly a symptom Of defective hearing
which is not traceable directly to the
condition of the nose and throat In
view of the new discoveries ear special
lists are finding their occupations gone,
save as they make their particular
branch an assistant in further investi-
cation.
It is said that the use of smelling
salts is one Of the most prolific causes
of deafness, operating by weakening
the olfactory nerves, and through them
the auditory system. All strong or pun
gent odors should be avoided as far as
possible, especially those which act
upon the secretory processes, and as
the popular expression goes, ''makes
the nose run.

TEA HOARDED LIKE GOLD.

Thibetans Sell Their Children for 1t to
Priests who Control the Trade.
All of the tea used in Mongolia and
Thibet comes in the shape OF bricks,
which have a uniform weight of five
pounds, measuring 8 inches in length
bv 6 inches in width and 3 inches
in thickness, SAYS writer in the Phila
delphia Times. The tea of which they
are composed is not the plant to which
we are accustomed. 1t is obtained from
large and woody shrub. The small
twigs and leaves are steamed, the sticks
being dried and ground to powder. The
stuff thus prepared is mixed with little
rice water to make it sticky and is then
rammed into a mold by means of a
wooden stick shod with iron. Such tea
would be considered too poor for use IN
China proper, where all of it is manu-
featured and whence it is exported for
consumption by the ignorant dwellers
on the frontiers The Thibetans cannot
get along without tea. 1t is said that
they even sell their children for it
to their grasping priests, who control
the trade and hoard the bricks like gold
in the monasteries. These tea bricks
have circulated as currency at a fixed
value in Mongolia and Thibet, but in
the latter country they have recently be-
come to some extent demonetized
owing to the introduction of rupees
from India Until lately brick of tea
was worth one rupee. The monks of
the Batang monastery in Thibet, having
boarded great treasure in the shape of
tea bricks, have found it impossible to
dispose of them at par. Thibet is a
province subject to China and a part of
the empire. Chinese diplomatic otti-
Gals make a practice of smuggling tea
into Thibet in the guise Of baggage, thus
enriching themselves greatly. The
Thibetans say: 'They come into our
country without trousers and they de-
part with thousand loaded yaks."
The Thibetan teapot is a churn, like
an ordinary butter churn. They take a
small portion from brick, pound it in
a mortar, make an infusion, strain itand
pour it into the churn, adding a little
salt. A lump of butter is thrown in and
the mixture is churned for while.
Then it is ready to drink The result is
described as resembling weak tea and
milk, with the sugar and tea left out. If
they cannot get tea these people use oak
bark, roast barley or peas, wild mulber-
~ leaves or even chips of wood-any-
thing to give the beverage color. After
taking his tea the drinker puts a pinch
of parched barley into his cup, works it
up with the leaves and dregs that re-
main and eats it. Tea leaves, mixed
with parched barley so as to form bo-
luses, are given to tired horses to brace
them up. Throughout all that region
an infusion of tea is employed as wash
for weak eyes.

Immediately rapid change took place
and he turned beautiful green. The

round and prehensile. There are five
toes on each foot united by the skin as
far as the claws. The change is the
most peculiar feature of the animal. 1t
is fieshy, cylindrical and capable of an
elongation of six or seven inches.
Chameleons live on flies and other in

that the change in the color of their

lhe tree had at some remote time

now a wonderful tree of solid agate.

THE A OF & S
4 Physiological Reason for the Obsers
ance of the Sabbath.
Barnet.

A Physiological Reason for the Obsers-
ance of the Sabbath.
Doubtless many have noticed that
after the day of rest, when properly
observed, they take up their regular
tasks, metal or physical, with a great
deal of vim and energy the first of the
week and that their zeal lags very de-
cidedly before Saturday night comes.
The reason for this is the diminution
of stored up energy and the consequent
necessity for a day of rest and relaxa-
ton to %replenish the stock.
A very interesting fact has been no
ticed by some recent experimenters,
the fact that in ordinary labor, the
store of oxygen which is supplied to
the body gradually grows less: that is,
there is less oxygen taken in than is
used up during work, so that after a
number of days. a person has lost a
considerable portion of his store OF
oxygen, thus requiring a day OF rest,
SO that there is a sort of physical law
for a Sabbath. This law does not de-
termine how often a Sabbath should
come--whether nee in seven days or
once In ten days. 1t might be possible
for a person SO to arrange his work
that he would not use up any more
oxygen each day than he absorbed. II
he had the right proportion of work
and rest each day, there would be no
loss of the store of oxygen. But in or
binary labor, as society is constituted
at the present time, an ordinary labor
ing man expends ore oxygen than he
receives each day, so that a rest-day is
actually required. 1t is quite possible
that this was the design of the Creator
respecting mar in commanding him to
earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow" thus ~expendins daily, by the
amount of labor done, more oxygen
than he receives, making a day of rest
necessary. Good Health.
