 BLOOD POISONING.
 Bridgeport, Oct, 14.--,Aliss Alice Me Clellan, a member of the Park street Congregational church, is suffering from a serious attack of blood poisoning Last week she was one of a committee appointed to decorate the interior of the church for rally Sunday, which was celebrated yesterday. Wild flow CTS were the principal decorations, and among those used were encountered a number of deadly ivy vines. The pois- onous weeds came in contact with the young woman's hands and face, and now she is in a frightful condition. Efforts are being made to keep the trouble away from the patients eyes. If this is accomplished her physicians hope to pull her through safely.
 POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED.
 Bridgeport, Oct. 14.--W. F.

HOMEMADE BAROMETER.


Simple CoAtrivance by which Anybody
Can Weigh Air.
There Is one atmospheric phenom-
enon about which there Is wide mis-
conception. When the smoke lies TO
the surface Of the earth instead Of
moving upward as it generally does,
many people think It Is because the air
is heavy. The same people win tell
you, perhaps. that damp air is heavier
than dry air, for II is on days that the
air Is damp that the smoke lies close
TO the earth. On the contrary, damp air
Is lighter than dry air. and IL Is because
the air is damp that the smoke does NOT
ascend. II Is purely a question of grav-
ity, of weight. II the lower stratum
Of air Is heavier than the smoke the
latter viii go up; II 1t be lighter than
the smoke the smoke win not go up SO
readily. The barometer Is the instru-
ments used by the scientists to deter
mine the weight OF the air. As usually
made It consists Of cup of mercury,
with which is connected a graduated
glass tube. From the upper part of
this tube the air has been exhausted,
thus forming vacuum, and the height
of the mercury in the tube denotes the
weight of the atmosphere.
The explanation of this is quite sim
pie. The pressure of the atmosphere
upon the mercury in the cup forces the
mercury up into the tube, where 1t
meets no resistance because the empty
part of the tube is vacuum. Hence
the column of mercury will rise or fall
In the tube as the pressure Is greater or
less
Everybody Is familiar enough with
weather reports 20 know that we have
''high barometer" on clear, dry days
and ''low barometer" on damp days;
that the first indicates good weather
and the last stormy weather But
''high barometer" means that the coli
umn of mercury is well up in the tube,
and slow barometer" that IL is down.
We know, therefore, that as dry air
bears down more heavily upon the mer-
curry in the cup than damp air, it must
be heavier than damp air. A very sim-
pie and serviceable barometer may be
made at home, without cost. The only
things needed are wide-mouthed glass

ALL ABOUT sNEEzINo.


Caused by Irritation of the Nerve sopply-
Ihg Sensation to the Face.
Sneezing Is reflex act caused by an
irritation of some portion of the large
nerve supplying sensation TO the face.
Excessive sneezing may be the result
OF some irritant, usually of vegetable
origin, coming IN contact with the
mucous membrane lining the nose, or
IL may be associated with some general
disorder.
Whooping-cough and asthma are
often accompanied by violent fits OF
sneezing. Persons of 'gouty" ten
dency are often afflicted with frequent
sneezing, and the same is true OF per-
sons who possess a somewhat hysterical
or exceedingly nervous temperament.
A sneeze and a cough, says tho
Youths Companion, exert much the
same effect over different portions of
the respiratory tract. In sneezing an
effort Is made to get rid Of some SUBJ
stance irritating the mucous membrane
of the nose; In coughing the same thing
Is attempted for the throat.
Sneezing Is in some instances pro-
duced by looking at a strong light or
vivid color. Inflammation may be in-
creased, II not actually produced, by
excessive sneezing as well as by violent
coughing. In this way either Of these
acts may be harmful.
Sneezing is often indicative OF some
catarrhal" condition Of the mucous
membrane, and II much INDUCED In. IL
tends TO make this condition worse by
congesting the mucous membrane Of
the nose and pharynx, and in severe
paroxysms that Of the eyes and ears.
The inhalation Of dust or OF irritating
vapors tends TO stop up the head"
chiefly because sneezing Is thereby in
duced.
We often hear Il said, when one
sneezes: "You are taking cold"--an ex-
preston In which there may be some
truth; for chilling of the body drives
the blood away from the surface, and

vestipc of that ancient civilization van
lshed from the earth, and the place
which knew II became the theater of
the most groveling and stubborn igno-
rance and barbarism within tho entire
dominion of the Ozark Continent
But In the dispensation of human
affairs IL would seem that wise and
beneficent Providence had fairly COM
pensatcd for the loss of this early civil
lization in the north by giving birth to
ono more modern and vigorous and
permanent Ia the southern extremity
OF the continent, and which is now
making rapid strides northward.
From the establishment OF Cape Col
ony by Great Britain in the early part
OF this century, modern civilization In
Africa may be said TO date. The terri
tory Of the original Cape Colony was
small In area. and many years elapsed
before any perceptible progress had
been made. But British pluck and en-
terprise are not easily daunted; and
slowly, step by step, these sturdy pio-
neers penetrated the surrounding will
derness, teeming with savage beasts,
and yet more savage tribes of men,
and began the task of subduing both.
The hand of friendship was ever ex-
tended to native rulers which, 1t Is sad
to say, was less frequently accepted
than rejected.
In the latter case the native ruler
was summarily thrashed into subjec-
ton, given n scarlet coat and an annu-
lty of rum and tobacco, which never
failed to insure his friendship for life.
It was thus, from small and discour-
aging beginning, that large andprom-
Using country has been opened TO the
world, one which win afford happy
homes for millions yet unborn.

Of authority over the greater portion OF

made much Roadway In gaining either
the fear or respect Of the native tribes
Indeed II Is asserted that both pay
tribute to certain native chieftains for
the honor and privilege Of airing their
colors over designated territories.
On the other hand, wherever the
British standard has been planted evil
dences Of civilization have at once be-
come manifest. From Table bay,
with his face TO the north, the British
pioneer has steadily moved onward.

While South Africa offers rare in

his fact alone could never have led to
the phenomenal development OF coun-

The discovery of the fabulous dia-
mond deposits In Griqualand west,

world and brought TO the scene armies
of hardy, adventurous men from every
quarter thereof. But when hundreds
of square miles of ground had been
overturned and searched, and the spark

mine, where Kimberley has since sprung
up, many disappointed miners organ

monarchs. With his army OF 10000

gave the English no small amount OF

with modern implements OF war the
birth of Rhodesia would doubtless have
