NEW METHODS AND MEDICINES.
Asthma CT esked by Simple Means-The
Artisepdc of the Future.

Not very long ago foreign physician
recommended very pleasant and effect
i've means of curpl short colds in the head
and chest. His remedy was simply cologne
water, 80 drops of which are inhaled four
or five times day by the mouth and nose.
The New York Herald's European edi-
ton now publishes very simple method
of checking asthma by the use of powder,
which acts in the same way as cologne
water The formula is:
Powdered snuff ................... grams
SampnOr Observation-Disclosures. grams
Menthol.. 10 centlgramS
Another method of checking asthma,
noticed favorably by the foreign medical
correspondent, is by rhythmical fractions Of
the tongue made by the patients them
selves when they feel that an attack is
coming on. He says: "These fractions of
the tongue made with the hand covered
with handkerchief IS to 90 times a min
ute, initiating the respiratory rhythm by
an in and out movement, restore breath
ing and may check the attack. These
fractions made by an assistant may also
be found efficacious during the strangula-
tory period of the attack
There is a new antiseptic substance izal,
of which the journal mentioned says that
it is an oily liquid that can be derived
from certain forms of coal, and when treat
ed by ether it dissolves partially, giving a
limpid product of brownish color, with u
strong odor of cresylic acid. When mixed
with water, this oil forms an emulsion,
quite agreeable In odof, which, in proper
tioHs.,f pto 200, checks the development
of the greater Hambcr of microbes. 1t is a
noticeable fact that the bacillus of typhoid
fever resists it's action. This emulsion
of izal and water is said to have given cx-
cellcnt results in surgical antiseptics. 1t is
not poisonous, does not irritate wounds
and attacks neither the operators hands
nor his instruments. 1t is therefore pow
erful, harmless and convenient antiseptic,
destined, it is claimed, to be the antiseptic
of the future.

The Light Wheel Craze.

The craze for light wheels seems to be
on the increase this year. A writer in
Golden Days advises youthful cyclers that
this is very unwise. A few pounds make
very little difference in the speed of a ma
chine, but great deal in the wear it will
stand. He says: IF were to buy BIZ
cycle for everyday use, I should get one
weighing not less than 80 pounds. Such
a bicycle will wear much better than those
of lighter weight and will make just as
good time for all practical purposes. OF
course, If you are a professional racer and
can afford to buy new wheel every year
or two it is a different matter. But il
you are not get a roadster. Last year
England had a craze for light wheels, but
cyclists there have repented of their folly
and this year cycles are made in that coun-
try from one to three pounds heavier than
In 1S93."

Much interest is manifested both in Eu-

which Mr.. Maxim made for his flying ma

for eight or ten pounds of weight, and in

little over 1900 pounds.
Commenting upon these facts, the New

PELICAN AND SEA LION AT PLAY.

erybody by suddenly lifting one Of the
birds with his flipper. The pelicans would
be startled and then gravely watch the
PROSTATE animal for any signs of life, but
the sea lion was perfectly motionless and
to all appearances sound asleep. In few
minutes he would strike them again, and
once more the pelicans would stop plum
ing themselves and eye curiously the dis
turber of the peace.
If the birds moved away, the sea lion
would follow them, and then might often
be seen very pretty sparring match be-
tween the sea lion and one of the pelicans.
The pelican would quickly thrust its bill!
straight at the sea lions head, but hat an
imal would as quickly dodge it. Again
and again in rapid succession the bird
would strike at him. to the right, left, up
and down, but the sea lion would always
avoid the blow with wonderful quickness.
Sometimes, however, he did not move
quickly enough, and the pelican, with
wide open mouth, would clasp him around
the neck and look as though he were try
ing to swallow the big mouthful.
Often when the sea lion would jump into
the water for a swim, the pelicans would
make great fun for the spectators. Stand
ing on the edge of the stone basin, the
birds would wildly flap their wings, and
l am sure they must have said to the
swimming animal, in pelican language,
lyon can't catch me, you can't catch
mel' for the sea lion would hurricdly leave
the water, and in his funny wabbling gait
give lively chase to the pelicans. Then
they would flee as fast as legs and wings
could carry them.
During tho time that watched them
the pclcans and the sea lion were appar-
emily on the best of terms and seemed to
thoroughly enjoy the fun, says writer in
ST. Nicholas, from which this little story
and its amusing illustration are taken.
