why Nettle stIngs.

The leaf and stem of O nettle are literal
ly clothed with erect hollow hairs. If one
of these hairs is viewed under miscro-
scope it will be seen that its free end,
after tapering to very fine degree of
slimness, finishes at little knob, while in
the other direction, after gradually becom-
ing more robust, it suddenly expands into
q large bulb corresponding with the poison
gland of the adder. The point of the hair
is very brittle, and contact with the hand
causes the end to snap off, leaving hol-
low needle point which readily pierces the
skin, and, pressing upon the bulb at the
other end the poison is forced through the
central channel and inhames the blood.
Therefore, as the Detroit Free Press ex-
plains it, the tender handed who stroke the
nettle arc stung for their pains, because
their gentlencss has only served to break
the brittle points and render them fit for
piercing but the rough handed break the
hairs at their thicl:est parts, where they
are too stout TO prick.

Tariff Pointers.

From the American Economist.
The amount of duty collected per capita
of our population was $500 In 1890 when
the Mckinley Tariff went into effect. 1t
was only S2.66 in 1892 when that law was
in undisturbed operation. Thus ''the bur-
den of taxation" was reduced by almost one
dollar for each and every one of us under
our best era of protection.
The price of refined sugar has advanced
to the consumer as the direct result of DEM
ocratic taxation. The good old Mckinley
days when "a pounds of granulated sugar
could be bought for dollar have passed in
to obscurity. 1t will be hard upon many a
family, especially when work is not so
plenty as it was couple of years ago. to re-
ceve only Is or 16 pounds of sugar for a
dollar, but this is a Democratic "object
lesson" that will hasten the return of pro-
lection.
The United States revenue fell off by
more than 20 per cent, IN 1894, as compared
with the 1893 fiscal year. A business man
who found such decrease in his receipts
would naturally look for some mismanage-
ment in the reads of his various depart

The total revenue of the United States

pared with 1898. Total expenditures de-
creased by only S15,952,675. Thus this

suited in the country getting more than $72,-

Enlargement of the Spleen Caused by
Chronic Catarrh.
People who have been much afflicted with
malaria or fever and ague are very liable to
have a fullness or enlargement of the left
side just under the ribs. This is commonly
called in malarious district ague cake. This
fullness is due to enlargement of the spleen,
caused by the malaria. The enlarged spleen
presses against the heart above, causing pal
pitation of the heart and shortness of breath.
1t also presses against the stomach and bow
els, causing disturbed digestion, bloatng,
constipation, gurgllng in left side, and a
formation of great quantities of gas.
AS long as there is particle of the ma
larial poison left in the system. not only
will the ague cake continue to disturb the
function of the other organs, but the en-
larged organs tends to perpetuate the poison
In the system.
1t seems to be settled fact that Pe-ru-na
is the most reliable. if not the only, remedy
that can be relied on to cleanse the system
in cases of chronic malaria. 1t never fails
to bring relief to these dsagreeable symp-
toms, and if regular course of Pe-ru-na is
taken it does not fail to permanently cure.
In order to furnish the public complete
knowledge of the effect of Pe-ru-na in old
