HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

Group is terror to young mothers

Group is a common cold. Children " ho

and Group il almost sure to follow.
The first symptom is hoarseness; this
is soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized aud
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

Famine In India and Ireland.

Indian advices show that whether
rain falls or not there must be keen
distress in the northwest provinces
and in Dude, and the Indian govern
ment must be prepared to succor the
population. Orders have already
been given to these officials to pre-
pare for an immediate enforcement
of famine measures. The code pro-
vides for advances to landholders in
order to enable them to carry out
works for the benefit of their ten
ants. The government only fur
nishes food supplies in exceptional
cases, but it gives money through re-
lief works, trusting to trade to bring
food to meet the demand where there
is m oney to pay for it. The govern
ment, however, controls the rate for
freight, and the grain rates have al
ready been reduced. In addition,
when necessary, the whole carrying
power Of the railways will be de-
voted to warding food.
One great obstacle in the work of
relief is the fact that religious differ
ences Of a serious nature exist
among the population. Many of
them prefer to starve rather than
work beside different castles.
Relief kitchens and rest houses by
the roadsides will eventually be
established.
While famine is threatened in
India through the drought, the west
of Ireland is declared to be face to
face with famine, owing to heavy
rains, which have caused failure of
the crops, especially in the case of
potatoes. Throughout September
and during the beginning of October
there was an almost incessant down
pour of rain. There have been
great floods in the northwest of the
island. The hay crops are floating
in the fields, causing the gloomiest
outlook for the poorer peasants de-
pending upon potatoes. Many of
them must feel the pangs of famine
before Christmas, the situation being
already compared to that of 1879,
when a disastrous harvest led to a
revival of political disorders in
Ireland.

Electrical Wonders.


"Imposslbi.ities made possibl, by
means of the modern inventions in
the electrical field' furnished the
theme of lecture by Professor G.
Queroult, in the Paris academy of
sciences. During some Of his ex-
periments he hit upon the idea to
turn around Photographic records
and also the series of pictures seen
through the kinetoscope, whereupon
he proceeded as follows:
Having photographed a plant at
regular intervals, and shown in the
kinetoscope the growth, the develop
ment of the stem, leaves, buds. flow
ers and fruit, the same sequence of
Photographic pictures reversed was
presented to the eye of the aston
ished academiclans, who wondered
at the fruit turning into flowers,
flowers into buds, buds drawing back
into themselves and disappearing,
the leaves closing, getting smaller
and disappearing, the stem getting
shorter, until the earth closed over
it. The most Incredible things are
developed before the eyes of spec
tator, if a most ordinary series of
pictures is reversed.
A drinker takes up an empty glass
and replaces it full upon the table; a
SIN oker sees the stump of cigar fly

his mouth and sees the smoke origi-
nate in the room, draws it up his
mouth and into his cigar, which is
gradually heightened, and finally re-
placed in the pocket. A wrestler,
who has probably thrown away his
garments, is recovered with them by
their, so to speak, walking up on

can understand nothing, because we

From the Springfield Republican, lst inst.
One "f the most enjoyable gather
ings that Springfield can boast of for
many years was the banquet rendered
last night at the Metropolitan hotel
by George II. McCann to the party
who have been spending two weeks
at the opening Of st. Louis park in
Tabey county.
The party, composed of Charles e.
Hallowell aud wife, DIR. Jester and
wife, Mr.. Litton, wife and daughter,
and Capt. Gum and wife, all of St.
Louie; Mesdames Herndon, Frank
Massey, Albert Marzetti, Mr.. George
II. McCann and wife, Rev. Joseph
Moran, wife and two children, and
Mr.. ana Mrs. Thomas IIallowell of
Springfield, arrived here from Taney
county on the Chadwick branch train
Friday evening, and repaired to the
Metropolitan hotel.
Yesterday the party chartered con-
veyanccs and were driven to the Nc
Cam stock farm where, after looking
over the interesting selection of stock,
etc., they luncbeoned lightly in the
dairy and returned to the hotel.
At 8 O'Clock the selects entered the
banquet hall at the metropolitan hotel
where snow-white coverings were
placed on q long table which was
weighted down with the most rare
and rich of floral decorations. An
exceedingly pleasant hour was spent
in toast m aking and general and spicy
con versation followed by a vote of
thanks to Col. McCann for his ex-
quisite kindness, after which the ban
queters broke ranks.

In an article ON the relations of the
blacks and whites of Virginia, Mr..
John II. Smyth of Richmond, who
served eight years as United States
Minister to Liberia, makes the fol-
lowing statement: Gas between the
upper or aristocratic class and the
black citizen there are points of con-
tact discoverable alone by residence
in the STATE, and of friendliness be-
tween the whites and blacks entirely
out Of harmony with the written and
spoken words, politically, of the
aristocrats of the negroes and
of the negroes concerning the
aristocrats. This is the result
of conservative sentiment among
the aristocracy or upper class of
whites, which changed racial condit-
ions have in no sense Influenced or
affected; condition which evo-
luton has oad no bearing upon;
condition without a parallel. It is
the fixed cavalier idea that neither
character, education. nor business
progress with its golden rewards Of
competence possessed by the negro
citizen ever places him in the line of
citizenship parallel with the humblest
and most ignorant white citizen. This
fixed caste sentiment finds it's first
illustration in Virginia. The cavalier
in the early history of the settlement
at Jamestown and Wllliamsburgh,
with his poverty, laziness, and illi-
teracy. held himself superior to the
ndpstrious English mechanic, the
ye oman, and laborer. So do the
descendants Of this class bear them
selves in 1896 toward the negroes,
though the race has produced Liea-
tenant Governors. State officials,
United States Senators, and Com
gressnen."

NO cav roI, LONGEVITY.

Sir Benjamin Richardson, the dis
tinguished English physician and
medical writer, says that seven out
of every ten sound and reasonable
people ought to live to be ITO years
old, and would do 90 if they ''took
care of themselves.
The fact that there have been
ceptenarisns and that some are still
living in every country of civilization
is proof, says the New York SUI, that
the human machine is capable OF
lasting as long as Sir Benjamin says
it ought to last. If the few can live
90 long. why should not the many be
able to reach equal fulness of years!
Very careful examinations have
been made to discover the secret OF
the now exceptional longevity, the
methods of life, the regimen, and the
peculiar physical constitution of the
cen:enarians. But the difference be-
tween them and the run of their
neighbors in these respects does not
seem to have been marked. At any
rate, no facts have been obtained
from which can be deduced anything
approaching . law that can be laid
down for the attaining Ct such long,
evity. Some Of the centenarians are
remarkable for their abstemiousness
and the scrupulous care they take OF
their health; but the run of them
have been found to live like the rest
of people who do not wantonly throw
away their stock of vitality. They
have got so old without special and
deliberate efforts to reach the dis
tinction. OF course, they mus: have
constitutions capable of great endur-
ance, bnt in that particular they are
not peculiar. Many of their contem-
poraries who died at much less age
would have been passed by life in
surance examiner as having an
equally long expectation of life. The
physical machine of the dead was as
good as that of the living, according
to scientific tests applicable by a
physician. The physical machine
which lasts through hundred years
and more of life, is no better in its
construction than u hich wears out at
20 or 80.
Why, then, has not DR.. Richardson
reason for saying that the existence
of centenarians, few though they may
be proportionately, is sufficient evil
dence that equally long life is not
only possible for all who have sound
constitutions, but ought also to be
the rule among them? 1t is proved
indisputably that the machine can
last very much longer than the run
of men keep it going; that of itself
It is good for 110 years to which DIR.
Richardson says the majority of
people of good constitutions should
live.
