Not Up on American Politics.

Rutherford B. Hayes was an OCCASION
al visitor to New York after he had
moved out Of the White House, but I'M
like ex-President Harrison he was not
averse to being interviewed on subjects
that were not political. One of the New
York papers on the occasion of his last
visit to this city sent young English
man, who had recently joined the staff,
up to the Fifth Avenue hotel with in
structions to interview Mr.. Hayes on the
subject Of chickens Mr.. Hayes received
his visitor and chatted with him for half
an hour on various subjects, and among
other things he assured his interviewer,
laughingly, that he had gone into chick
en- raising as business When the Eng
lishman arose to go, he said:
by the way, Mr.. Hayes, want my
report to be acurate, and would you
mind telling Of what you were once

Mr.. Hayes, and when the EngIishman
arrived at his office he told the city edi-
tor that Mr.. Hayes was great was.

HAVE YOU NEURALGIA
Something about That Maddening Ill That
Eleah La Heir To.

Something About That Maddening Ill That
Flesh Is Heir To.
Though it may appear strange to us
who think we are familiar with the
commoner forms of neuralgia, or nerve
pain, such as toothache, headache and
the like, it is not easy always to say
whether the pain we are suffering be
really neuralgia pure and simple.
In point of fact, neuralgia is name
for condition rather than disease,
and only implies that in the course Of
the nerve in question there is pain that
is not caused by any disease Of the parts
supplied by that nerve or Of the nerve
itself.
The causes Of neuralgia, then, are to
be found in conditions outside of the
trouble itself. For instance, there may
be tumor pressing upon the nerve and
continually irritating it. In the same
way foreign bodies, such as bullets, may
set up persistent neuralgia. Ends Of
nerves, by becoming involved in the
contraction Of q scar, may become suffi-
Diently compressed to give rise to un-
bearable pain. Sometimes veins that
are near nerves, or follow their course
through long, bony canals. become suffi-
ciently distended to irritate the nerve.
Or there may be poison in the blood,
like malaria, arsenic or lead, which, by
lowering the general vitality Of the
body, contributes to q general nerve
weakness and irritability.
In large proportion of cases the real
cause of neuralgia is SO general as to be
quite obscure The exciting cause-or
occasion-of single attack of neural
gia is usually getting chilled or over
exercising the part subject to the COM
plant.
AS many Of us know by experience,
the course Of an attack of neuralgia is
extremely varied. The pain may be con-
tlnuous, remittent or intermittent, tenn
porary or persistent, located at one spot
or diffused over large area, and may
be shooting, aching or burning in char
acter
By way of treatment we may use To-
cally any good liniment, blistering, hot
lamentations or electricity. Iron and
quinine are Of the greatest value inter
nally. especially where the system is
run down or there is malarial faint
in the blood. Antirheumatics must, of
course, be resorted to in cases of rheu-
natio origin. In these latter cases there
is nothing like absolute rest and regular
and nourishing diet.
Morphine or other opiates should be
used but sparingly in neuralgia, and
never in cases Of debility or old age

THE ROANOKE TIMES, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY ). 1896.
Rank Extortion.

An instance Of the way in which the
simplest problems in mathematics some
times present strange difficulties is told
by an eyewitness of an amusing incident
in New England street car. An old
lady handed the conductor o 10 cent
piece which was Canadian money. The
conductor handed tho old lady q cent
piece, not discovering ut the moment the
character of the coin he had received.
As soon as he saw his mistake, he
turned back ana said, LADY, I am
sorry, but we arc not allowed to take
Canadian money" And so saying he
handed her the 0 cent piece.
faro you sure that's my money!" ask
ed the old lady sharply.
Yes. 'am, aud I'm sorry I made
the mistake" snid tho conductor.
"Oh, I'm willing to take it back, if
you re sure it's mine, I" returned his pas
senger obligingly, slipping the dime in
to her pocketbook.
And your fare, please, ma'am," said
the conductor respectfully, after pause.
What? Why, don't see how you
calculate that. It's real mixin to me, {"
said the old lady. flushing, as she took

conductor.
"Well, but. ma am, I haven It had your
fare yet, said the conductor patiently.
Don't you see how it is?''
mo, young man, don IT," said the
old lady, looking severely at him, "but
rather than have any talk about it, I'll
give you another 5 cents"
She counted ont five pennies and pour
ed them into his hand; then she replaced
her pocketbook in her bag and sank back
into her seat with very red cheeks
Do you see how he figgered it,
child?" she said, turning helplessly to
the young woman next to her moment

THE MEN WHO BUY NOT.

Vhy Newsdealers Sometimes Slip Rubber
Bands Around Their Magazines.
The man who gets up early in the
morning SO he can have look at his
neighbours paper before the rightful
owner has chance to take it in from
his doorstep does not stand very high in
the estimation of the Dewsdealer. This
is because he spoils trade,
There is another man, however, who
Is even more cordially detested by the
vender of periodicals. He is the fellow
who never buys anything, but has the
habit Of dipping into the weekly papers
and magazines. The keeper of news
stand makes tempting display of his
stock, for he knows that strong pic
ture or even pretty cover often brings
him stray customer, but he expects
the mere locker on to be content with
this much, and he is likely to frown
upon the man who resorts to all kinds
Of schemes in order to get peep at the
inside pages.
The stands in the ferry houses and
railway stations suffer the most from
these penurious cranks, for there is
nothing else to attract their attention
while they arc waiting for q boat or a
train. They run through the leaves Of
the latest books and magazines and
have been known to draw the tacks ont
of papers nailed mp against the stand SO
that they could see what was on the
other side of the sheet. But it is not
what they see and read for nothing that
worries the newsdealer. He would be
willing to put up with that if they did
not injure his stock. Indeed, he would
much rather have man take up mag
azine bodily and carefully examine ev-
cry page than to have him grab it by
one corner and bend up all the leaves
in q surreptitious attempt to see the
pictures. He wonld also rather have
you ask him to hand you periodical
than to have you shove his stock all out
of line while trying to see the half Of
the page that is hidden by pile of 9TH
or papers.
So great is this nuisance that the
newsdealers had to adopt schemes for
their own protection. The most success
full, SO far as preventing the leaves from
being turned, consists of placing rub
Der band around the top and bottom Of
o magazine and using it on the top Of
each pile.-New York World.
