COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute inflammation and dwelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent. it is called
CATARRh. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them /; hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates. the
whcle mucous surface of the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsIls have
become corrupt mass of ulcers, 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can RADICAL y cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
BRAZILIAN BALM is the only known remedy
immature that will accomplish this result.
1t will heal any old sore. Snuff solu-

Breakfast out OF the way, Jim threw on
a sweater and called out his dog. TO

direction of Empire.
Corbett does not fancy road work. He
claims that 1t stiffens his legs and inn
pedes his rapid footwork, which saves him
so many blows. After dinner, he juggled
with the wrist machine for a quarter of
an hour before taekllng the bag. Timing
himself, he hooked the bah with his left
continually for ten minutes, and punched
Il with vigor with straight right and

were to keep coming and he followed them

of "Ohs" went up from the female spec

Jeffries putting, but two little streams OF
perspiration trickling down Corbetts 4

been working. His bellows were operat-

It was Billy Woods. however, who IL

With his armor blown up he strutted out
only TO be pounced on like a wild cat.
Right and left, Jim slugged him on the
jaw, and when his guard went up he
caught 1t on the breast with long range,
straight drives, or lightning Upper cuts.
Each of the four men went through four

tary annually made more important de-
cislons involving property than did the
supreme court of the United States. The
head of this great department ought to be
equipped with legal ability. and a famil-
iarity with land matters to meet the in
tricate questions that would come before
1t, and for this reason. aud for this reason
only Mr.. Teller said, the nomination was
subject to criticism.
Mr.. Stewart, pop, of Nevada, spoke

what MIR. Teller had said about the i'm
portance of a head to this department
who would be able to deal justly ana ju-
dtciously in the matters in dispute con-
stantly coming before the court OF which
the secretary was the reviewing Judge.
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts, replied to
Mr.. Tellers criticisms by praising the
ability and qualifications OF MIR. Bliss and
addressing himself to the one point made
by Mr.. Teller, asserted that this could
be easily overcome by the selection of as
sistant secretaries who would have those
qualifications that would guide the Sec
retary in his rulings.
No other speeches were made. The

Grand total

Adding to this $S,442,O27 for the general
deficiency bill (Which was the sum voted
by the House,, and 100000 for miscellane-
Gus objects, the total appropriations for
1893 would be 1925, 545, 434, against $515,S4 1874
for 1897.
How to dispose of the four appropriation
bills, which failed to become laws is a
subject of much discussion about the cap
itol. 1t was said to-day that in order
to avoid the necessity for appointing all
the committees of the new congress, or If
possible to prevent reorganizing those COM
mittees, which usually have charge of
the hills that failed, namely the committee
on appropriations, on agriculture and on
Indian affairs, the bills will be introduced
as they were completed by the last con-
gress and an effort will be made to pass
them underAsuspension of the rules.
Speaker Reed has announced that he has
no policy to urge in regard to organization
for the special session, but there is a
widespread feeling among republicans that
1t would be a good thing to confine action
by the House in the matter of new legis-
lation to the consideration of the tariff
bill. But there would be difficulty it is
apprehended, in getting the Senate to fol-
low that example.
The "pocketed" bills of the session of
congress ending yesterday which failed
to become laws because not signed by the
PRESIDENT exclusive or the fOur great ap~
preparation bills elsewhere mentioned)
were forty-fve in number of which
eighteen were private pension and relief,
