Nose AMI Throat.

In a recent lecture before the Chem.
| lists Assistants Association, London, by
William Hill, MD, London, the throat
was described in detail, aud the pharynx
and the larynx pointed out rs the two
most important parts. The nose hes
very important connection with the
throat and its disorders. II contains a
series OF bones called the turbnatcd
bones, which expose large surface OF
warm blood, and cause the air inhaled
to be warmed ready for the lungs; more
over, the cIlia of the nose cause the sc.
cretion to move and reject the solid par.
| t.cles it has collected. The nose is the
proper organ FOR breathing, not the
mouth. The larynx, which is the air
passage, is bounded at its upper ex.
tremity by the vocal cords, aud has,
therefore, the double function Of breath
ing and phonation. The epiglottis, by
altering its form, causes the lood 10 pass
down the pharynx, and keeps il from
the larynx. In speaking Of proper
breathing, the author pointed out that
diaphragmatlc breathing was the proper
method, and not clayicular. IL was re-
ported that Rubini had broken his
clavicle during singing, by persisting in
this method OF breathing. Throat dis
eases are often caused by germs, by in
halation of sewer gas, etc. Fortunately,
there are other organisms ia the throat
always ready to attack these germs. The
throat was well provided with tonsils,
both faucial aud lingual. The tonsils
produce phagocytes or leucocytes, amg.
bold corpuscles which actually swallow
up the germs. Why, then, should tom
sils be cut outl Because, when they be-
come enlarged and horny, they lose this
function, aud by removing the horny
surface, the newly exposed portion can
90 on producing the corpuscles. The
decay OF teeth is largely due to germs.
This shows the importance OF keeping
the teeth in order. Obstruction IN the
nose is the cause OF many throat dis
orders. People liable to throat disorders
should be very chary OF eating piquant
or hot dishes. Irritating remedies, TOO,
such as cayenne aud Except in special
cases) tannin lozenges or nitrate OF sill
yer, should be avoided. Hot tea, too
is bad. Scientific American.

eAPTlziNc THROUGH AN ICE HOLE.
A Reverend Governor Who Is Not Bit
Afraid of Ice Water.

"Gov. Ira j. Chase of Indiana is a
very talented preacher" said Col.
William P. Gaines to st. Louis Globe
Democrat man. "He is what is known
as Campbellite, and when he starts
out to gather sinners they've got to
come. He preached in Hendricks and
adjoining counties before entering pol
itics, and is SO popular with that de-
nomination throughout the state that
they voted for him regardless of polit-
ical predictions. He used to baptize
most of his converts in White Lick.
and | have seen him cut hole in the
ice when it was a foot and half thick

to the lick we found that the ice had
not been cut. We procured axes. and

"Tbe candidate looked at it and con-
cluded he would wait until spring be-
lore entering the cnurcil, pht tne lu-
ture governor of Hoosierdom would
not consent to postponement. He
had come out to baptize his man, and
baptize him he would. ....
"And he did, while the thermometer
was coquetting with 10 degrees below
zero. After the ceremony was per-
formed l was standing near the open

suit was that / was laid up for six

HE MIXED HIS MIXTURES,
One OF the Results of Taking Medicine
at the Wrong Time.

Although in perfect health James
Mund of certain house-which it is
not necessary to mention--in Batter
sea is always taking medicine. The
10th of last month he brought home
two small bottles.
What ails you now?" laughed his
wife, who had for years told him he
needed no medicine, the doctor agree
ing with her.
That" he said. pointing to one
bottle, "is appetite medicine" Aud
she knew that he ate more than any
other man in the neighborhood.
THAT" he said, pointing to the other
bottle, "is sleep medicine"
And she knew he slept soundlv from
bedtime until she awoke him in the
morning.
Il hope you may soon recover" she
said.
At night having taken his medi-
| cine, he went early to bed.
Now for good sleep" said he.
About midnight he called to his
wife, who was fast asleep:
Mary! O, Mary"
"W-what is it, dear9" she said,
We iliNc ullSIake, ne nfOaneu,
"the greatest mistake of my life In-
stead of the sleep medicine | took the
appetite medicine, and | can't stand
1t; Pm hungry as bear"
She did not scold as she cooked him
steak and made some coffee. In the
morning, after taking his medicine he
sat down at the table to await break
fast.
I'll eat you ont of house and home
now, Mary" said he
When breakfast was ready she
asked:
"Tea or coffee, James?"
But he did not, answer. He did not
look up. He was sound asleep She
did not awaken him, perceiving that
this time he had taken the sleep medi-
cine. With staring eyes he sprang
from his chair about noon, and, laugh
ing when he saw his wife smiling, he
threw both bottles as far as he could
into his garden. He never takes med

About ObeliskS.

The obelisks of the Pharaohs are
made of red granite called syenite.
In the quarries at Syene may yet be
seen an unfinished obelisk, still adj
herring to the native rock, with traces
of workmen's tools so clearly seen on
it's surface that one might suppose
they had been suddenly called away
and intended soon to return and finish
their work.
This unfinished obelisk shows the
modem which the ancients separated
these immense monoliths from the ma
tive rock. In sharplv-cut groove
marking the boundary of the stones
are holes evidently designed for wooden
wedges. After these had been firmly
driven into the holes the groove was
filled with water. The wedges gradual
y absorbing the water, swelled and
cracked the granite throughout the
length of the groove. The block, once
tet2cbed from the rock, was pushed
forward upon rollers made from the
stems of palm trees from the quarries
to the edge of the Nile, where it was
surrounded by large timber raft.
1t lay by the river side until the
next inundatiOn of the Nile, when the
rising waters foated the raft and con-
veyed the obelisk down the stream to
the city where it was to be set up.
Thousands of willing hands pushed it
on rollers up an inclined plane to the
front of the temple where it was de-
signed to stand. The pedestal had
previously been placed in position and
a firm causeway of sand covered with
planks led to the top of it. Then, by
means of rollers, levers and ropes
made of the date palm, the obelisk
was gradually hoisted into an upright
position.
1t speaks much for the mechanical
accuracy of the Egyptian masons that,
so true was the level of the top of the
base and the bottom of the long shaft,
in no single instance has the obelisk
been found to be out of the true per-
pendicular.-Rer. j. KGng

DOG or THE CIVIL WAR,
"ZIp" Met Confederate Adversary
While Two Batteries Cheered.

81 had dog that followed me all
through the war, and was of great serv-
ice to me-" said Capt. Fred Smith, a
member of the Old Veterans club that
was holding session in the rotunda
of the Lindell, according to the ST..
Louis Gi06e-Den1ocrat.
"He was just common. ornery'
looking yaller' dog, but he had the
heart Of woman and the courage of
lion. enlisted at Mattoon. and the
dog followed me there. ! sent him
back home, but he wouldn't stay.
The captain took a liking to Zip,
and when we were ordered south he
went along. Zip participated in sew
eral of the big battles of the war, and
in any number of skirmishes. He
would take up his position near our
battery of field pieces and bark def
ance at the Confederates.
"At Shiloh shell exploded within
ten feet of Zip, cutting Off three inches
of his bushy tail. That angered him,
and he advanced on the enemy bark
ing furiously. The lines were about
800 yards apart, and shot and shell
were flying thick as hail. Zip ran for
ward fully 800 yards, and gave the
Johnnies to distinctly understand that
ho allowed no hampering with his tail.
The Confederate battery also had
a dog. big, lank mastiff, and he came
out to see about it. They didn't waste
any time sparring for an opening but
took hold in dead earnest. The John
nies stopped shooting and began TO
cheer their dog. We did the same.
For fully ten minutes those two bat
teries stood silent while the gunners
watched the contest of the canine
knights. who fought as though the
fate of nations depended on them.
"'Sick him, Tige! Give it to the
Yankee son-of-a-gun!" yelled the Con-
federate cannoneers, advancing in
front of their guns.
500 it, Zip! Rip him into ribbons.
Zipn we yelled, also advancing well in
front Of our lines. A Confederate SER
geant threw a rock at our dog, aud
that brought on trouble.
keep your hands off that dorn
yelled the captain 'Af our battery as he
hurried back and trained gun on the
Confederate group.
That set both batteries to roaring
again, and beneath the flood Of iron
those dogs fought on. l am sorry to
say that Zip got the worst of it. He
was outclassed, and, though he put up
as game fight as. ever dog did, he
was sent to his corner loser. How the
Confeds did yell, and hoot, and howl!
But we had our revenge. We sockcd
a six-pound shell into their dog and
blew him into sausage meat"
