APPENpIclIIs IS POPULAR.
Nature OF the Disease That Of Late has
Become Almost Fashic nable.

become Almost l0snic nnbie.
Not many years ago, tolerably COM
mon report OF the cause OF death was
inflammation of the bowels. II was
pretty general term and has since been
little heard Of as different forms of
inflammation in the abdominal cavity
have become better known.
The most startling Of all this is APP
pendicitis, inflammation Of the verini-
| form appendix, useless and dangerous
CLOSED pouch which projects from the
cecum. Almost cOncurrently with the
enormous advance In surgery, which
makes opening the abdomen reasonably
safe instead Of almost certainly fatal,
there has been an enormous increase
IN the number Of cases Of this dieease
reported by physicians. The disease has
acquired an interest that IL could not
have while II was almost impossible
10 treat it successfully. While only
limited range Of treatment was open
for any abdominal inflammation il
made little difference just where or
what the lesion was now there are every
reason 10 decide promptly and accu-
fately and good hope Of surgical cure
IN this and some other affections Of the
lower viscera.
At the same time, II il evident that
much remains to be learned IA TO this
particular affection. Until recently II
was usually supposed TO proceed from
mechanical irritation of some indiges-
tible substance which became fastened
In this slender blind passage. Now there
Is "a germ theory for it, which gets
some support from the fact that occa-
sionally in true case of appendicitis
no foreign substance Is found in the ap-
pendix. In the great majority of cases,
however, u solid substance Is found,
sometimes under circumstances which
make IL impossible 20 doubt that it fur
nished the starting point for the attack.
There seems also 10 be distinct diff
ference of opinion among physicians as
10 the length Of time a case may con-
tinue. Some say, or mt least imply, that
"a mild irritation may exist for weeks
Or months, while others consider that
tho acute and brief stage Is tho only
ono which deserves 10 be known under
tho title Of appendicitis. Hartford
Courant.

In the polar regions seal oil is buried
in the ground in bags of skin. Neat is
heaped upon platforms built among trees,
which are peeled of bark in order to
keep bears from climbing up them. Lit
tie sticks with sharp points upward are
buried in the ice to distract the attention
of the bears from the provisions over

shape of a strong pen, the main supports
of which are standing trees. with brush

Charles Bickiord returneble to the next
stated term of said Court to be held at

1894, therein setting forth that she was
lawfully married to Charles Bickford
aforesaid on OF about the 29th day of
March, A. d 1873, at Ripton in the Coun-
ty of Addison, State aforesaid, by
Kent, a minister OF the Gospel, that she

Hints Oh Dress s!
Spring is Here.
NEW GOODS,
LATEST STYLES

Yes; everybody is talking about
new goods and spring.
Glad to hear it, Anticipation is
sometimes better than realization and
there is prospect Of plenty of antici-
patton this year.
We notice that the skies still drop
down the dews and that an ulster is not
so uncomfortable after all. And yet
spring win probably come in due
time. Meanwhile, you might as well
be thinking what you will wear this
spring.
A little thought beforehand may
save a good deal Of talking afterwards
fora suit that doesn't suit is like a law
unfavorable to suitors. Then
get the better of your rival by wear
ing proper clothing.
The suitings of blue serge will be
very popular this summer, also all
shades of grays in Scotches and soft
face goods. The short front sack will
not be worn SO much as the three and
four button cutaway sack. For dress
suits. a black clay worsted eutaway
with light trousers will be generally
worn. Contrary to former usage,
light trousers are considered more
dressy than black.
For overcoats, black and blue Mel
ton and Kersey long coats will be
worn, also shorter coats in light color
ed goods. Brown will probably be
worn more this summer and fall than
last year.
In derbys, call for the coaching hat
or the broad and flat rim. Alpines
will probably be worn more or less.
Both black and brown will be worn,
though there seems to be a preference
in favor of black.
In footwear, the russell will be a,
popular as picadilly blucher be-
ing the predominant style.
More about footwear, neckweaI
and furnishings at another time.
For further particulars. call at the
Mann Clothing Store We can tel
you much better there and can show
you the goods, which is much better
than description.
In Boston and New York this week
buying goods and when these goods
are in we viii have the cleanest ano
most complete stock within radius
of 80 miles, which we will sell at tn,
lowest cash prices value considered
and you don't want goods Of doubt
full value at any price.
You can't afford to buy without
seeing our stock Give Us a trial i
all we ask.
