HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item The origin of
Group is a common cold. Children who
are subject to it take cold very easily
and Group is almost sure to follow.
The first symptom is hOarSeneSS: this
is soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who
has heard it. The time to act is when
the child first becomes hoarSe. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon
disappear. Even after the croupy
cough has developed it will prevent
the attack. There is no danger in
giving this remedy for it contains
nothing injurious. For sale by Jones

The Piles wouldn't Stay Down.

One thing for which Harbor Springs is
noted is its numerous artesian wells A
pipe can be sunk in almost any part of the
town and supply of pure, sparkling
water will come gushing forth. The man
ner in which these wells were discovered is
quite interesting. A few years ago while
Charles Roe was driving some piles for "a
dock, he struck "A spot where they would
not stay down. The ponderous hammer
was let down full force, but the minute it
was raised up would come the pile. FL
nally pipe was driven down, and the first
of a series Of wells that have since made
the town famous was the result. Detroit

OF Magyar art music seems to have
gained the widest admiration. and it is
certain that musical cxccutants of the first
order, and in the case of List of unique
grandeur, have justified part of the expecta-
tions with which musical Europe has long
looked upon Hungary Magyar music can
be likcncd to nothing more APPLY than to
the exclusively Hungarian river Thesis.
CapriciOus and majestic tceming with life
and sitting up for miles, surrounded by
charming Torture of water lilies and alder
trees and suddenly again by poisonous
marshes and swamps, such is the Thesis,
such is Hungarian music-stirring, be-
wildering, unspeakably saddening, mex
prcssbly cXhilarating 1t is the music of
rhapsodic souls, of INVESTIGATION, of the bat
tlefeld, of wild war dances after the vic
tory. But, like the great river, it cannot
be regulated.
1t is mainly recitative beyond time, as
it were; its minor scale with the augment
ed fourth, its wild rhythms, its rebellious
bass and tOrtuous countcrpoint. its excess
i've use of en- bcllishments and the tropical
heat of its musical climate make it abso-
lutely inadaptablc to the proportions and
moves of classical music. The Hungarians
and Spaniards have by far the most en-
chanting folk music Yet neither of these
two nations has given the world first rate
composers. The Spanish, whose national
music has much of Latin beauty of form,
may still do so. L doubt about the Hun
garians. AS in Bohemian music there is
too much fat, so in Hungarian there is too
much fire. Probably no other nationality
can play musical instruments as well as
can Hungarians; but, except in rhapsodic
genres, the Hungarians will scarcely ever
do more than give surprising improvisa-
tors or successful imitators of the Germans.

A Bit of Glass.

Queen Victoria 5 favorite state Jewel is
the priceless Kohinoor, about which
hangs tale. When it came into the pos
session of the East India company in 1850.
1t was handed at a board meeting to John
Lawrence, afcrward Lord Lawrence, the
viceroy, for safe keeping. The precious dia-
mond was laid among folds of linen in a
small box, and Lord Lawrence slipped it
into his waiStcoat pocket and forgot all
about it until some days later it was sug-
gestcd that he should forward it to the
queen. One can imagine his CONSERVATION
when he rushed to his house to see if it
was to be found.
Have you seen a small box in one of
my waistcoat pockets" he asked breath
lessly of his servant.
Yes, sahib, " was the reply Il found
1t and put it in one of your boxes
Bring it here and open it and see what
1t contains, said his master
'Therc is nothing in it, sahib but bit
Of glass, the man replied in wonder
ment
The bit of glass was in due course dis
patched to the queen, whose crown it was
to adorn but she has preferred to wear it
on occasions as a magnificent brooch in the
center of her bodice The cutting of the
diamond was personally superintended by
the prince consort. 1t is always kept at
Windsor, facsimile being in the royal

The power loom was the invention of a
farmer boy, who had never seen or heard
of such thing. He fashioned one with
his penknifc, and when1e got it all done
he showed it with great enthusiasm to his
father, who mt once kicked it all to pieces,
saying he would have no boy about him
who would spend his time on such foolish
things. The hoy was sent to a black
smith to learn trade and his master took
a lively interest in him.
He made a loom of what was left of the
one his father had broken up and showed
it TO his master The blacksmith saw he
had no common boy as an apprentice, and
that the invention was valuable one. He
had n loom constructed under the super
vision of the boy. 1t worked TO their per
feet satisfaction, and the blacksmith fur
nished the means to manufacture the
looms, and the boy received half the profits.
In about a year the blacksmith wrote to
the boys father that he should bring vita
him a wealthy gentleman, who was the
inventor of the celebrated power loom.
You may be able to judge of the aston
ishment at the old home when his son was
presented to him as the inventor, who told
him that the loom was the same as the
model that he had kicked to pieces the pre-
vious year. Pearson Weekly

WOMEN AND CARD PLAYING.
The Gambling Feature and other Harm
full Influences Discussed.

In The Ladies' Home Journal Edward
w. Box enters editorial protest against
progressive card parties as they are at pres
ent conducted and against card playing in
the day time. Progressive card playing,
Mr.. Box contends, has passed from it's
primary misSion-a pleasant form of diver
sion-and taken aplace as asocial function,
creating yivalrics in the magniflcence of
the hospitality and in the value of the prizes
bestowed by the hostesses. In fact, the
writer asserts that 1.-THE progressive card
playing of today is nothing more nor less
than a system of gambling. 1t may be
proper and eminently respectable form of
gambling, but the element of chance has
come into the game and that most distinct
ly. 1t is simply question of how respect
able gambling can be made That is all.
With reference to the improperly of card
playing in the daytime Mr. Box asserts
that it is worse and more serious than q
waste of time 1T has bad moral influ-
ence; it engendcrs n spirit that is fatal to
woman's happicst way of living Imake no
distinction here. " he says, between women
who have home ties and women who have
not. The wrong of the thing is simply
question Of degree. The one has no right
to play cards during the daytime; the 9th
er woman cannot afford to. 1t is not my
pleasure, but my misfortune, to know some
women who are addicted to this card habit,
and the study of them is both interesting
and pitiablc. Evidently their thoughts
rarely rise above the ca A. liable Talk to
them about books, art music the theater,
the topics Of the day-anything 1 care not
what-and their answers are as monosyl-
Liable as their interest is lanquid. But
mention CarOs, AID in a moment a sparkle
of interest comes t. their eyes, and they
are ready for business What Il subject,
after all, to arouse interest when one thinks
of It'll What an ambition, what distinc-
ton, to he adj ddged good card rlayerl

Study tine women who are there. They
may be yoar friends But look at them
away from th9t standpoint. Judge them
impartially and quietly. stop and think a
little of what they represent. And then if

A Summarizing NJ. p.

The Right Hon. David Robert Plunket
lnow Lord Rathmore), who sat in the
house OF commons for many years as mem
Der for the University of Dublin, was a
stammerer and yet one of the most elo-
quent men in the house The impediment
in his speech was not slight one and at
times made him drop word that stuck
and substitute another While he was at
the Office of works and had to answer ques-
lions in the house for that department the
ftammering habit seemed to grow upon
him. In the glowing rhythm of set speech,
however, he was able to throw over this
weakness, and in his eloquence there was
more poetic feryor than the house is nova
days accustomed to, and he invariably sue
oeeded in impressing his hearers London

soMETHlNG ABOUT LAMPS.
How Argand Came to Invent the Circular
Wick and Glasa Chimney.

To the Egyptians has been given the
honor of invcnting the lamp, but it seems
more than probable that they received it
from the older civilization of India. The
lamps originally used by the Hebrews, the
Egyptians and the Greeks were simple fiat
vessels, with a small handle at one end
and at the other a little projection, with
hole forming a nozzle In the back was
larger opening into which the oil was
poured The oil was generally vegetable;
but, according to Pliny, it was sometimes
of liquid bitumen
The lamp commonly used in Egypt at
the present time is a small glass vessel,
I with a tube in the bottom, in which is
placed wick of cotton twisted around
straw. The common lamp of India is a
small earthcn saucer, with bit of twisted
cotton for IA wick. The ordinary traveller
torch or lamp in India is n bundle of
strips of rags on the end of n stick, with
oil poured over it, In bible lands" the
lamp commonly used is a small earthen-
ware plate, with the edge turned up to
make it hold a small quantity of oil
Among the most beautiful ruins of an
tiquity that have been preserved are a
great number of Egyptian, Greek and Ro-
man lamps, formed of clay metal, terra
Gotta and bronze. The museum at Naples
contains the finest variety of specimens to
be found anywhere. These were recovered
from the ruins of Pompeii and Herculane-
UNI. Some lamps were hung with chains
to bronze candelabra. Some were support
ed by beautiful brackets
In 1874 Ami Argand, a Swiss residing
in London made an entire revolution in
artificial light by inventipg n burner with
circular wick, the flame being thus sup
piled with an inner and an outer current
of air. To Argand we also owe the inven-
ton of the common glass lamp chimney
He was very DESTROYS of increasing the
light given ont by the lamp that he had
invented, and to that end had made many
experiments but all to no purpose.
One night, as he sat by his work table
thinking he noticed an oil flask lying
near off which the bottom had been bro
ken, leaving n long neclled, funnel shaped
tube He carelessly picked this up and
"almost without thought" placed it over
the flame of his lamp The result aston
ished and delighted him, for the flame be-
came a brilliant white light Argand
made practical use of the hint thus given
him by devising the lamp chimney. Phil

And Is Under Arrest In Consequence.

Saturday evening Patrolmnn Frank
Merrill arrested James S. Watson, a New
Brunswick man, and took him to the
station. The arrest was made at the re-
guess of Henry Thsriault, also of New
Brunswiok, who alleged that Watson
opened, read and destroyed letter ad-
dressed to Therisult. Deputy Hartnett
Investigated the case and found that
Watson, who has been at work in Deer
ing for some time, went to the post Office
at North Deering, and at the request Of
Theriault asked for and received letter
addressed to Thsriault Watson admit
ted getting the letter but stoutly asserted
that while 1t was addressed to Theriault
it was intended for Watson. He made no
satisfactory explanation Of this peculiar
way Of sending letter. "There was no
money in it," he said, and refused to
state whom it was from or what it was
about Thsriault pronounced the story
absurd. He said he and Watson are not
from the same section of New Brunswick !;
and that Watson IL not acquainted with a
single member Of bis family. Watson
was turned over to Officer Haskell of

AsERiOUS MATTER.


A case Of what was perhaps az attempt
to wreck Maine Central train was re-
ported in the city Saturday night. 1t
happened on the night previous, when
the train men on an inward bound
freight noticed on the outward track, OF
a curve near Cobb's lane, several miles
beyond Westbrook Junction, a sleeper
lying across the rail. The matter was of
course reported at the junction and the
sleeper removed. From the manner in
which it lay upon the rail, it made the
sectienmen suspicious that an attempt
had been made to wreck a train. The
sleeper was in suoh a position that had a
train struck it, the locomotive and cars
might have been thrown from the iron.
The railroad men thought that the Sleep
er was placed on the track after the east
bound Pullman had gone by, the would
be-wreckers, if such they were, mistak-
ing the time when the Pullman was due
at that point.
