Pure Narcotic Death.

Under chloroform, as under all anas
thetic gases and vapors. there is a mode
of death which may be called the final
or natural. 1t need never be produced.
and never could be except under the
nos unskillful management, and it is a
long time in its progress. When death
does occur in this manner it is by the
slow extinction of the natural animal
~zylnosis, and is illustrated, as to method
perfectly by the simple experiment OF
gradually extinguishing a candle in a
confined space By Introducing vapor OF
chloToform into the air that fills the
space.
1t can be illustrated also by the ca.
pertinent Of stopping ordinary fermenta'
ton by the presence of ch~loroforln, and
ever by the simpler process of using
chloroform vapor as a preventative Of
animal tissues from decomposition. All
anRsthe$ics are open to kill in this man.
ner, but that is the safest an9sthetic
which puts out life in no other manner,
which does MOI, that is to say, cause
either of the refezes of spasmodic char
acter during administration. -Asclepiad.

DrIgnus ulsease a name carrying dread
to many a household, is the constitu'
tional disease to which l refer. In not
a few cases the diagnosis of it is made
by the examination of the retina with
the eye mirror.
The expert will make no mistake il
the eye gives evidence of it, for its signs
are positive in minute bleeding from the
blood vessels and peculiar fawn colored
spots on the retina. The surgeon breads
to find them. because they are evidence
of an advanced stage of the malady
which prematurely destroys so many
lives. Bri@lit's disease is in fact a de
generation of many of the tissues of the
body, the walls Of the arteries being
among them. In nc part of the body
can this degeneration be so readily de-
tected as III the retina of the eye.-Cos'

When Jay Gould Was a Boy.

lat one time" said Mr.. Woolhiser,
who as a boy worked in the same store
with Jay Gould, while Gould was in
the employ of Durham he fell sick.
My father, who was a general nurse and
something of a doctor, attended him
and brought him around all right.
Not long after he recovered he met my
father and said, You saved my life, and
if at any time you are in need and l can
help you | shall do so with pleasure
Fortune has not smiled on my poor old
father of late, and being in absolute
need he wrote to Mr.. Gould, telling him
of his condition and asking for help.
No reply was ever received. l think
that our letters never reached Mr.. Gould,
Or he would surely have helped US. /
wrote to him only a few days before his
death for the fourth or fifth time. Gould
was always a good boy, and for awhile
we slept together in the same bed in the
old store in Roxbury. Jay never missed
saying his nightly prayers before retir-
ing New York World.

i'll upon it, and by the appearance of its
tissues and its blood vessels to decide as
to the existence of serious disease when
there are few other symptoms that point
to it, when there may be none besides to
be found in the body that positively
prove it.

No Blanks Ina This Competition.

This is d competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling his
for the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something different.
Each person is asked merely to help himself,
and the one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it. The
prize is only a stimulus to do something that
would be we'll worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a club
house on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very little use
to him. But the person who patents "a simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Com
pany's competition, need not worry if he fail
to secure the prize. He has a substantial re-
suit to show for his work-one that will com
mand its value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popular
ity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.
