Pneumonia is one of the most fatal diseases, and If this weather continues for a few days it may slay some of those who have lived through the heat ed term. An interesting contribution concerning the treatment of pneumonia is made to the Medical Record by Dr. w. N. McArtney, of Fort Covington, New York, who has lost only two cases out of one hundred and twenty which he dealt with. His treatment is sim pie, and it is not new, but 1t has given way to new methods, founded on new conceptions of the disease. Its main feature is to induce and maintain CO., pious precipitation. Dr. McArtney prefers using hot bricks, moistened and wrapped in cloth, to inducing perspira- tion by drugs. The sweating was con- tinued from four to forty-eight hours. If the temperature went down to nor mal, the patient was allowed to dry off slowly. Of the 120 cases the attack was broken up in 67. Most of the cases were seen early, and in these there was a restoration of the normal tempera- ture, freedom from pain and cough, and easy respiration within a few hours; those taken later yielded only after orty-eight hours sweating and mercurial purge. A striking illustra- tion of the effects of the treatment is found in the fact that occasionally it (the disease) could be cut short when the lungs were completely consolidated and the brick dust sputum copious. ," When the pneumonia did not abort the patient was kept in a moderate per spiration throughout the attack, and the prostrating effect was never found to be of serious consequence. Alcoholic stimulants were not given in most of the cases, but when required were given freely. Phlebotomy was used with excellent results in a few cases that appeared hopeless.
 If other doctors should adopt and be as successful with this treatment as Dr. McArtney has been the deaths from pneumonia would be greatly lessened. But doubtless there will be the usual disagreement with him and his ways.

pent has been aroused among honest Democrats in favor of amending the election law and giving the minority parties representation on the election boards, The Democratic governor-elect has assured him that he Is in favor of having the law thus amended, which will free the State from being disgrac- ed at every biennial election because of machinery which dishonest men have at hand to use whenever they are dis posed to use it, "I have great faith, |" he adds, in the spirit of fair play that pervades the American people, and Arkansas people are American people, and when this sentiment is appealed to there will come response as it has come to me in this canvass"
 Honest elections in Arkansas and some other States would be good for those States and for the country, That they may soon come is the wish of all honest and patriotic citizens.

polnt. Observers ascending to great heights in balloons have been able to secure data of surpassing importance regarding meteorological conditions, and observations made at the depth of . mile afford positive information. The Red Jacket shaft has shattered some of the deeply cherished theories, and there are text books now extant in the higher institutions of learning Which must be overhauled because facts have succeeded theory. The mines of the Comstock lode in Nevada were the deepest in the world. The mines were very hot and on the deep- CT levels some of the more pious miners were quite positive that they smelled sulphur, and refused to go further down for fear of encroaching upon the dominions of the devil. According to deductions, the bottom of the Red Jacket shaft should be about the prop CT temperature to boil eggs. Careful tests have determined that the normal temperature of the rock is S7.6 degrees
 Fahrenheit at the bottom. The rock
 temperature at the depth of one hun dred and five feet was fifty-nine de-
 grees Fahrenheit. showing an access of 2S.6 degrees in 4,795 feet There was
 however, a gain of eight degrees in temperature in the last five hundred feet sunk, much more rapid increase than at lesser depths.
 | Notwithstanding the beneficial eff fects of ventilation and compressed air, men working at the bottom of the deep shaft do not have an especially easy
 berth, though literally paid. They are
 compelled to wear rubber boots and rubber coats, as the water found in the
 mine at that great depth is most corro-
 sive on the human body.

MORE CHEER FROM ARKANSAS.

The good news about the vote in Ar kansas was slew in coming, but it was cheering when it did come. So, too, is the evidence that in that election the feeling that honest elections are desira- ble played a more conspicuous part than it has in some other elections in for governor testifies to that effect. He says that the result of that election is turns show that the Republican vote increased 37 per cent. over that of two years ago, while the Democratic gain was only 21 per cent. This was achiev- ed, he says, ''in face of election meth ods in many of the counties of which the country is already advised, and which I believe have already disgusted many of the. best Democrats of the State. who realize the futility and ab- surdity of inviting immigration and capital to come within our borders to take advantage of our wonderful re- sources, and the first election they go to the polls in many of the counties they find they are disfranchised and deprived of the one thing above all others that an American citizen enjoys, and that is to express his will by ballot and have his vote counted for the per son voted for" He declares his convic- tion that already a great public senti-

DON'T MISS THE SH0H.

What is the difference between Buff falo Bill and Bill Bryan? asked the sage and then answered. Buffalo Bill has a show. How is the Boy Orator like Buffalo Bill? can also be asked,
 and the answer can be, Each is show. When Buffalo Bill comes to town he is an interesting spectacle and thousands line the streets to see the hero of the western plains and the eastern dime novels. And when the Boy Orator comes to town thousands line the streets to see the Man of Destiny, who has the guarantee of a properly-pre- pared rabbits foot that he will be the next occupant of the White House. The Boy Orator will come to this town if the people of this region have as much curiosity as the people of some other regions, they will turn out in large numbers to see the show and hear the wind blow And tomorrow morning, if the Boy Orators faithful press agent does his duty we shall

Nickel coinage has been lately pro- posed to the French government to re- lieve the scarcity of copper coin. An ingenious method suggested to obviate the difficulty of mistaking the nickels for silver coins of nearly the same shape is to have the new coins made with a hole through the middle so that they may be strung like Chinese cash.

FASHION NOTES.

We have been told that the bang is entirely out of fashion, but for youthful faces, with round cheeks, young eyes and roses, it is not banished, and many a nondescript, wholesome little maid cuts hers in down-cu i'll the mid- dle of her forehead and adds the one more touch of catchy "out of line" ef- feet to her face. By so doing she is be- ing charming in way all her own, and can afford to let the others talk of what the styles in hair dressing are. Then for the face that does not possess the mentioned qualities, suggestion of the bang is permissible, and it is quite easy to effect it without giving an envious critic a chance to say that bygone

England Is deep in the discussion as to whether man when he goes on his annual vacation should take his wife with him or send her to some other place. It is stoutly maintained by large faction of men and women in that country that. even in the most harmo- nious families, it is best that the hus- band and wife should have vacation from each others society, Laying aside the fact that man needs physi- cal rest, his vacation is not going to be so much of a change to him as hers is to his wife, for it is, after all, only an- other view of the sarne world in which he always lives, On the other hand, his wife generally sees nothing of the world of any kind except when she throws off the cares of a house and family and ventures out for peep at the doings of men and things. She is resting her weary body and at the same time freshening up her narrowed brain, This fact of brightening her intellect on her vacation is particularly empha- sized by those people who advocate her getting away from her husbands influ- ence, and it is insisted that the wife, when thrown on her own resources and deprived of the stronger mind on which she has learned to depend, is made to do her own thinking and gets back to her old-time basis of independence.
 In a discussion on the disposal of household garbage, at the recent meet ing in Buffalo of the American Public Health association, there appeared to be a unanimity of belief that each household should dispose of its garbage in some effective way, without calling in the aid of the municipal authorities. The doctors and health officers present agreed that the garbage can was nuisance and a menace to health, an offence to the eye and the nose, disa- greeable at all times, and more partic- ularly upon it's periodic trips to the curb to await the slow coming of the garbage wagons. Kitchen crematories found favor with the majority of the physicians, but the novelty of the dis cussion was furnished by Dr. Gihon of the United States navy, who declared that "the best way of disposing of the greater part of the household garbage is to eat it." In explanation, Dr. Gihon told of friend in France who had a cook who understood the exact eating capacity of his family. There was nev- CT anything but bones and the merest scraps, such as could readily be burn ed, after meals. The family came to this country, settled down to house. keeping in Boston and for the first time in his life the man found his household provided with a garbage can. As a consequence, his household expenses doubled We provide more than we can eat. Let us remedy that and we will have solved half of the refuse problem" concluded the doctor.

Germany means to have as much of the worlds trade as she can get. Consul J. c. Monaghan, United States consul at Chemnitz, writes: Machines made in England, of which she long had a monopoly, are made here now by the hundreds, and hardly less perfect than those made in England. The Ger mans care little that England calls them copyists. They go on building and bettering till they take away markets in which England maintained for years an exclusive supremacy. Nor is it because labor is so much cheaper here than in England that Germans are succeeding in getting trade in parts of the world whose ports, before 1870 and even in 1880, had never opened to German ship. It is because it is better organized, more easily satisfied, and jess restless.
