COLD IN THE-HEAD

Ia acute inflammation andswelling 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. 8. 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. heCatarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these uloerD is very
noisonous and soon impragnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, bead
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls 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 radically 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.
kRAzlLlAN BALM is the only known remedy
immature that will accomplish this result.
IL will heal any old sore. Snuff O solu-

Carroll ID. Wright, commissioner OF
labor, in charge OF the Eleventh census,
has sent TO the secretary Of the interior
n special report on the statistics Of oo-
equations. II shows for the first time
IN census work the number of colored
persons engaged in each occupation sep
hrate nnd distinct from the native and
foreign white elements Of the popula-
ton and other hitherto uncOmpiled fig-
ures. The most interesting feature Of
the report relates 20 the question OF the
unemployed. Similar data relative to
the unemployed were collected at the
census Of 1880, but were not compiled,
40 that this Is the first time in the fed
eral census that informationo OF this char
meter has been presented in connection
with the statistics OF occupations, de-
rived from answers mnde on the populn-
tion schedule. These figures simply
show the aggregate number Of persons
unemployed for different lengths Of
time, and to a very considerable extent.

census year.
There were 22,735,66l persons ten
years Of age and over engaged In gain
ful occupations in 1890, OF whom 49,

males. OF these, 3,Ois,ii7 males and

ntlertions from Records % Armeninn
Ontrnusa
One grows sick OF reading Of the
nbominabie outraees Of Turk and Kur'l
IN Armenia. and yet It Is history and
current history, too, the pity q it.
II. II. Van Meter, son Of Rev. w
G. Van Meter, for a long time mis-
nlonory In Armenia, has prepared Q
brief review Of the records Of Armenia
outraQcs These records have been
carefully prepared by Mr.. Van Meter
and arc fpll Of interest.
Mr.. Van Meter gives an account OF

key and the other powers, and the ef-
forts Of the Russians 10 protect the Ar.
menian Christians. Continuing. he
says;
IF an Armenian was seen speaking
with foreigner. he was cast into prison
and punished as a conspirator, and for
eigners were treated az spies Of the
powers and agiiators against the Turk
ish government.
sin 1898 Kurdish raids upon the Chris
tian villages, instigated and encour-
aged, II not actually ordered by the
Turkish government, to cause a de-
fense, to be declared a conspiracy, drove
the Armenians to desperation.
"Those brave mountnineers defend

"An army Of Turks, more cruel than
The cruel Kurds themselves, was sent TO
zee to Il that the diabolical work Of
rnpine, torture and determination was
not thwarted again by the bravery Of
the brawny mountaineers.
~The district Of Sassoun was declared
10 be In rebellion against the govern
ment.
Fathers and brothers, husbands and
friends lay dying or dead, mangled and
mutilated beyond recognition, while
women and girls were done 10 death by
imperial permits OF orders, 10 satiate
the lust OF their brutal ravishers.
"All who came 10 hand, women, chill
dren and young girls, were massacred
and the pursuit Of the others was con-
tinued. Previously the Kurds and SOL
diers together had set fire TO the
houses, plundercd the furniture, house
hold goods and cattle; the Kurds car
ried away their booty, but part Of the
cattle was reserved for the army, who
had the beasts killed TO feed the sol
diers. One portion Of the fugitives who
were destitute came with a priest TO
surrender to the soldiers. They made
these same people who came 70 surren-
der dig trenches. When night came
these people--that Is, those who had
surrendered-were brought to the
trenches, massacred with the bayonet,
and cast into the said trenches; some
who had not been bayoneted threw
themselves alive into the trenches."-

MICROBES NOT ADMITTED.
A Doctor Has Built a House from which
bacteria Are Excluded.


bacteria Are Excluded
DIR. w. Van der Hayden, a Dutch
bacterlologist who lives in Japan. has
built himself house In Yokohama
from which microbes are absolutely ex-
cluded. This is a very pleasant place
for a man who is terribly familiar with
the prevalence and powers of the mi
crobe.
The doctors house is a dust-proof,
air-proof, microbe-proof building Of
glass. II stands on the open, unshaded
grounds of the general hospital Of Yo-
kohsma. The house is a. feet high, 20
feet wide and IT feet high. large panes
Of glass, half an inch thie.' and about
four inches apart, are set in iron frames
30 as 10 form the sides Of a cellular
building block. OF these blocks the
walls are constructed. There are no
window sashes, the air escape being
through several openings around the
upper part Of the second story, but
through which no air from the outside
u admitted.
The mir supply is obtained from a
considerable distance, forced through a
pipe and carefully filtered through cot
ton wool TO cleanse II Of bacteria. To
insure further sterilization the air Is
driwa against glycerin-coated plate
Of glass, which captures all the mi
crobes the wool spares. The few mi
crobes brought into the house in the
clothes Of visitors soon die In the warm
sunlight with which the house Is
flooded.
The space between the glasses of the
building blocks is filled with q solution
Of salts, which absorbs the heat Of the
sun, so that the rooms Of this house are
much cooler than those protected by
the thickest shades. In the evening
the evening the interior is heated by
the salts radiating the heat which they
have absorbed during the day. So ef-
fective is the system Of regulating the
temperature that few hours Of sun
light, even IN freezing weather, will
render the house habitable. II Is only
when several cloudy days follow in sue
cession that artificial heat Is needed.
Then Il Is supplied by pumping in hot
air. Dr. Van der Hayden thinks he has
solved the problem Of complete germi-
eide on a big scale.-N. Y. journal.
