Danger in Perfumery.

Women who are fond of indulging in
strong perfumes should remember that
they are decidedly injurious to the
sense of smell. By their frequent use
the secretory glands of the nose and
throat are overtaxed and weakened.
One day a person notices that the
hearing is less active than usual and
the sense of smell seems defective.
This is, of course, put down to cold,
and but little is thought of it. After
time the entire head becomes affected
and there are throat and lung compli-
cations which are likely to end in
chronic, if not fatal illness. Smelling
salts are a prolific cause of deafness.
All strong and pungent odors, particu-
larly those which act upon the secre-
tory processes, should be avoided as
far as possible.

Pittsburgh, which used to be little
town squeezed down into the narrow
triangle of the junction of the Allie
ghany and Monongahela. has grown
into city of unusually large area in
proportion to it's population. The city
engineers were cutting streets through
dense woodlands more than twenty
years ago, and farms, miles from the
city hall, were held at speculative
prices. The city line is now more than
six miles from the Ohio eastward, and
it, length between the Allegheny and
Monongahels u between four and fve
miles.

REVEALED BY DEATH.
A Soldier Whose Worth Was Not Ap-
preciated in Life.

A Soldier Whose Worth Was Not APP
preciated in Life.
'sLife is perfected by DEATH" and it
is also revealed. A story told in the
"Life of Sir Richard Burton" illus
trates the clearness with which death
reveals a man to his comrades.
A lieutenant in British regiment
was honest, steady, quiet and full of
sterling qualities; but he was dull, re-
served and religiously inclined. His
brother officers laughed at him. and
associated but little with him. Though
well-born, he was poor, and had no
powerful friends. He therefore re-
mained without promotion or society;
but he never complained, and did his
best
A battery was to be taken in the
Crimea, and the lieutenant's regiment
was selected as the storming party. 1t
assaulted and was driven back. The
lieutenant rallied his own company,
and with a laugh flung his shake be-
fore him, and rushed through the
breach into the battery, followed by q
handful of men. They never came out
again.
That night at the regimental mess
there was not a man but regretted that
he had not better understood the
officer whose gallant death had re-
vealed his superiority. All remem-
bered a thousand good qualities and
incidents which ought to have en-
deared him to them. They were
ashamed of the contempt with which
they had treated him, and of the fact
that they had never shown him the
least kindness.

BEAUTY IN AGE.
An Old Lady Who Believes In Being Al
ways Cheerful.

An Old Lady Who Believes In Being Al
ways Cheerful.
A dear old lady of eighty-three is she
who is described by Kate Sanborn, in
"a Truthful Woman in Southern Cali
fornia," as Grandma Wade" She
says:
have known several interesting oc-
togenarians, but never one that sur
passed her in loveliness, wit and posi-
tive jollity. She still has her ardent
admirers among men as we'll as wom-
en-, and now and then receives an
earnest proposal from some lonely old
fellow. The last of these aged lovers,
when refused and relegated to the po-
sition of brother, urged her to recon-
slider the matter and make it subject
of prayer. But she quietly said:
"I'm not going to bother the Lord
with questions I can answer myself"
One day when she was choked by q
bread crumb at the table, she said to
the frightened waiter, as soon as she
could regain her breath:
''Never mind If that did go down the
wrong way. A great many good things
have gone down the right way this
winter
She is invariably cheerful, and when
she was parting with her son for the
winter, she said:
"Well, j ohm, want to know before
you go just'what you have left me in
your will"
This little joke turned tear into q
smile.
Even when i'll, she is so bright and
hopeful that a friend once exclaimed:
''Grandma, do believe you would
laugh if you were dying!"
"Well,' said she, $50 many folks go
to the Lord with long face, guess
He will be glad to see me come to Him
smiling!"

They Are Situated Many Miles Distant
from Honolulu.

from Honolulu.
The group lies in chain distant
from Oahu seven hundred to twelve
hundred miles, west by northwest
There are several records of it's discov-
cry Ocean island was quite well
known as early as 1880. In that year
the English vessel Gledstanes was
wrecked on it's shores. In 1870 the
United States cruiser Saginaw was
lost in these waters. She had gone
down there to dredge channel and
provide station for old side-wheelers
then setting out as Pacific mail liners.
The only losses of life were from
small boats. One boat, sent up this
way for assistance, was lost just off
Kauai. But one of the crew was
saved. He brought the news to Homo
lulu. In a few hours Capt. King, now
minister of interior, was off aboard a
schooner carrying relief expedition.
Next day, at the request of the Ameri-
can minister, an island steamer was
sent after the schooner. Long was
master of the steamer, and Capt. Rice,
now of the tug Eleu, was mate. They
beat Capt. King only twenty hours to
Ocean island. The Americans were
gone. They had been picked up by
sailing vessel. An inquiry that stirred
naval cicles followed the loss of the
Saginaw, and Honolulu was made the
port of call for the Pacific mail. OF
the three side-wheel liners, one was
burned at sea, one at Hong Kong, and
the third lost off Panama.
Years ago two whalers went ashore
in one night on Pearl and Hermes
reef. The vessels were lost entirely
and several men drowned. In 1855,
the English craft Dunnater Castle,
coal laden from Newcastle, was
wrecked on an Ocean island reef. A
small boat sent for help found it's way
here. The Waialeale, Hale, master,
was dispatched to the rescue and
brought all hands to Honolulu. The
crew of the Saginaw first found water
on Ocean island.
At one time the carrying of guano
and phosphates to the United States
from the midway group promised to
become great business. The discov-
cry of phosphates in Florida and other
states along the Atlantic coast had a
depressing effect on the fertilizer traf-
fic in the United States.

"a MATTER OF CAUTION"
British Commander Wanted to Land
Forces at Honolulu.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.-It has been au-
thoritatively learned by the members OF
the house committee on foreign affairs
that British marines were not landed at
Honolulu. 1t appears that the British
naval commander requested permission to
land force of marines as n matter OF
caution, but the actual landing was not
made. Members of the foreign affairs
committee do not attach much signif-
cance to this action by the British COM
mander, but Chairman Cummings of the
house naval committee does not entirely
agree in this opinion. He says that III
British forces have sought TO make a
landing it will add another serious com
plication to the case. He refers TO the
manner in which Great Britain secured a
foothold on the Gilbert islands, and then
assumed control of them.
Congressman who have visited the

dent Cleveland will send another Ha-

Grangers on Taxes.

HARTFORD, Jan. 1l.-At the meeting of
the Connecticut state grunge the recUnu"
mendations of the committee on taxes
were unanimously adopted. The COM
mittee recommended a new oath for prop
erty owners to subscribe to before asses
sors, and that false swearing as to prop
erty value be punished by forfeiture of
the property; that towns should not be
called upon to pay a tax for the support
of the state government that graduated
distribution tax be levied on estates of de-
ceased persons in process of settlement,
such tax to be paid before the settlement
of the estate on an order of the Judge of
probate, one-half to the town and the re-
mainder to the state. The graduation
varies from tax of 1-2 of 1 per cent on
estates less than $4,000 to 10 per cent on

THE TREASURY CRISIS.
Finance Committee Unable 60 Agree
Upon . Relief Measure.


WASHINGTON. Jan. ll.--Secrctary Car
Isle proposed an issue of bonds to the
senate committee on finance yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Carlisle said he wanted authority
10 issue bonds, and so stated to the COM
mittee afterwards. He thinks an issue
of bonds the simplest way 70 meet the
apparently rapidly approaching crisis In
the treasury.
The secretary dwelt briefly on the
rapidly diminishing gold reserve. and
stated that instead OF Increasing, as he had
hoped the government receipts would do,
they had continued to diminish until
there was coming TO be u monthly gap OF
about $4,000, 900 between receipts and ex-
pendtures. lie thought, therefore, that
IL was expedient that congress should
take steps TO provide against the evil. lie
asked that the act OF 1875 for the resump-
tion of specie payments, which also
authorizes bond issue. should be so
amended as 20 permit this issuance for
shorter time and at lower rate of in
terest than is provided for in that act.
The lowest rate of interest named in the
bonds provided for in the act is per
cent, and the time for the 4 per cent bonds
is 80 years. He thought il would be a
very easy matter 60 sell enough bonds to
tide over the present emergency, to meet
the prospective deficiency of the present
fiscal year. at per cent interest and run
ming for three, four or five years.
There was general interchange OF
opinion among members of the commit
tee Enough was developed to show that
1t is going to be very difficult for the com
mittee TO agree upon a bill. The Repub b.
lican members made remarks which
seemed TO indicate that they could not be
counted upon to aid the Democratic ad.
ministration in getting itself out OF its
difficulties.
Another element in the committee
holds that instead of bonds, certificates
should be issued upon the silver seignior-
age i'm the treasury. The meeting dis
persed without taking any action.
