ENLARGED LYMPH GLANDS.
What the Jumps Mean and How They
should He Treated.

ShOuiu Ase AreAteu.
"What are these Jumps in my baby s
neeks" is a question often asked the
doctor.
Lumps, or kernels as they are often
called, because they feel like grains or
seeds under the examining fingers, are
lymph bodies, or glands.
The system Of lymph glands and
tubes covers the entire body. II IL were
exposed to view, it would have the ap-
pearance of meshwork. Lymph ducts
lead from the skin, from the mucous
membrane, and from bone to lymph
bodies which are further connected
with one another by the same means.
At any point where there is an In
flammation, q sore, a breaking Of the
skin or mucous surface, there will DO
found open mouths of lymph ducts into
which waste matter is liable to enter.
This waste matter sets up an irritation
and an enlargement of the lymph bod
les to which it finds its way. 1t will
now be easily understood how such an
enlargement or inflammation of the
lymph bodies always points to a state
of inflammation at some point, perhaps
at a considerable distance from the
Jumps themselves Thus felon on the
finger causes enlarged glands to appear
in the armpit
Jumps in the neck may sometimes be
plainly traced to eczema OF the scalp.
Sometimes tho mouth is the seat of the
trouble. Large and infiamed tonsils may
be present, or the teeth may be decaying.
When the ear is the seat of an alb
scess, either before or during the course
of purulent discharge enlarged glands
are common.
Enlarged lymph bodies just behind
the angle Of the jaw are sometimes sig
nificant of catarrh of the nose and the
adjacent portion of the throat.
The existence of enlarged lymph bod
les for few days, or sometimes for a
longer interval, cannot BIO said Co be in
itself dangerous. The case is different
when Jumps exist for several weeks or
longer. They become changed in char
acter after this time and begin to break
down and form purulent matter This
stage, too, is more difficult to cure, as
surrounding tissue may become affected
The skin over the glands is involved
and becomes part of the large, soft, red
or purplish swelling, now called al abb
Ecess, which either breaks or is lanced
by the surgeon.
These engagements may become in
vaded by the tubercle bacilli, from
which consumption of the lungs or a
general consumption may develop
During the course of an infectious
disease, when the glands in the neck
sometimes become enlarged. the care Of
the throat must not be neglected. The
use of an antiseptic solution on the
affected parts will often produce an inn
mediate good result Youths Com

Rugs and Moving.

A certain man who owns o row Of
dwelling houses over In the northwest
quarter Of the town has learned wisdom
by bitter experience. A friend of mino
went to him not long ago to rent ono of
the houses.
''Do you lease it by the month or by
the Year, she inquired.
"That depends on what you are going
to have on your floors = answered the
landlord Are you going to have car
pets?"
"No," answered my friend; 1--WE
have rugs,
You'll have to sign years lease
then, !" the landlord made reply, smil-
ing craftily. IF you bought carpets and
had them fitted to the floors, know
you d stay in the house as long as you
could, but these rugs are too easily adj
iusted to any sized room. You'll have
to sign years lease If you have rugs.
There are seven houses in my row, and
six Of thom haven kept tenant longer
than two years at time for the last five
years. The seventh house--well, the
people in it had carpets made and laid
for it five years ago. and they haven't
thought of moving. Carpets, I'll rent
by the month; rugs, years lease. -

Just what it is that induces poison
ivy to play its injurious pranks ON some
people at some times and not at others
is still profound mystery. One thing
is certain--the number Of people
susceptible to the poisoning influence
must be extremely few, from the fact
that in the vicinity of Philadelphia the
highways and byways are oyerrun with
the plant to an enormous extent. 1t Is
frequently impossible for people to go
by without brushing against it, and If
it is the vapor or some emulation from
the plant which causes the trouble thou
sands of persons must be under the in
fuence to every one who suffers from
1t. The writer Of this paragraph knows
of tract Of land on which the plant
grows profusely and on which many
scores of laborers are employed. These
laborers are frequently set to wedding
and pulling out the plant by the naked
hand, and, SO far as the writer knows,
none of these men was ever poisoned by

Apretty Good World.

This worlds pretty good sort OF world,
Taking it all together,
In spite of the grief and sorrow we meet,
In spite of the gloomy weather.
There are friends to love and hopes to
cheer,
And plenty Of compensation
For every ache for those who make
The best of the situation.
There are quiet hooks for lovers of
books,
With nature in happy union.
There are cool retreats from the noon
tide heats.
Where souls may have sweet com
munion,
And if there's spot where the sun
shines not.
There's always lamp to light it.
And if there's wrong we know ere
long,
That the God above will rightit.
SO it is not for us to make fuss,
Because of life's sad mischances,
Nor 10 wear ourselves out to bring
about
A change in cur circumstances,
For this worlds pretty good sort OF
world,
And he to whom we are debtor
Appoints our place and supplies the
grace
TO held us to make it better

'SAOur balance of trade with Europe
is in most satisfactory condition
During the first four months of the
present fiscal year the balance in fa-
vor of the United States amounted to
$I64. 600. 900, and at this time it is in
the vicinity Of 5000, 900, 600. Exports
continue on large scale and are
greatly in excess of the imports, so
that the foreign trade balance is not
only growing in our favor, but this
condition OF affairs seems likely to
continue. This would naturally sug-
gest correspondingly large inflow of
gold to this country. and the reason
that there is not is explained by the
fact that large amounts of money due
from Europe are allowed to remain
there because there is no particular
use for it here and the rate of interest
which it will draw there as a temper
airy investment is greater than in this
country.

Another great increase in iron pro.
duction in the United States has been
made. breaking all previous records.
The Iron Age gives figures show
ing the weekly capacity of fur
naces in operation December to be

tons during November. Ever since
July of the present year there has
been steady increase in the output
of pig iron, and the indications are
that the demand will continue una
bated The Illinois Steel Company
has orders now nearly double those OF
year ago. As business indicator,
the pig-iron figures are Of great i'm
portance, iron and steel entering
largely into all branches OF industry

The developments OF the next few
months are likely to shut the mouths
OF those papers which are calling for
another revision of the tariff, looking
to more revenue. The receipts Have
steadily increased month by month
since the Dingley law went into effect
and are larger from December than in
any previous month. The expendi-
lures, for that month, on the contrary,
have been light and the result has
an actual surplus. In January the
expenditures will be large and though
the receipts will undoubtedly be
larger than in December, there will
probably be deficit again. But the
revenue is constantly increasing, and
with the earnest effort being made by
the Republicans to keep down the ex-
penses, it is only question of short
time when regular monthly surplus
will be the order of things. The
claims made by the friends of the
Dingley law that the end of the pres
ent fiscal year would show a total
wiping out Of the deficit seem to be
about right.

Rods, although they may not entirely
protect building, may preserve it from
being seriously damaged. The jefferson
physical laboratory of Harvard univer-
sity is protected in the following man
net Each Of the chimneys is provided
with rods which are connected with
conductors running along the caves
From the corners of the roof conductors
are led to the ground and are connected
underground with conductor which
entirely surrounds the building and
which is connected to permanent wa
ter supply at least ten feet below the
surface of tho ground. Iron pipes are
driven to reach this water supply. This
is as near an approach to a cage as cir
cumstances would permit.
A trolley car has lightning rod in
its trolley, which is connected through
its motor with the rails and the ground.
1t is not beyond possibility, however,
that discharge descending the trolley
arm should refuse to go through the mo
tor and should seek quicker oscillating
path through the car. This is not likely
to happen often, for the network of the
trolley wire and the telegraph lines of a
town or city, together with the electric
light wires, separate and divert into
many channels the electrical disturb
ance. The great increase Of wires in our
cities serves to protect from great dam
age by lightning, for many paths are
offered to the discharges which are
thus broken up into more or less harm
less sparks. Professor John Trowbridge

Old Uncle Clayhrook Is very reli-
gious old darky and holds converse
with his Maker twenty times day or
oftener. His habit is to pray and then
turn off into what appears TO be one
sided conversation with the Lord, but
il is evident that there is another party
to il as far as he Is concerned. To hear
him reminds one very much of u tele-
phone conversation.
The other day he was going through
his customary devotions, and whom no
got to the point of expressing thankful
ness for the many blessings of life no
broke off into recounting OF them,
says Cicero 4. Sutton of the Ovens
boro Inquirer. An den, OARS possum,

And then "old uncle" began to hum
quaint negro camp meeting tune and
stopped to look at piece of liver in o
butchers stall as the best substitute for
his loved postum or as best suited to
the small piece Of money which repre-
sented his total movable wealth.

Ii is confidently predicted in Lon
don that the price of silver will de.
cline still further within a short time
Silver is worth about 81 cents per
ounce. making the silver in a dollar
worth less than "a cents. Flurries in
the price OF silver have comparatively
little effect IN this country, or in any
country doing business on gold ba-
sis. but are serious matter to silver
countries like Mexico and China.
The last drop 10 silver almost brought
about panic in Mexico. 1t has been
suggested that Mr. Bryan stay down
in Mexico until the next slump. He
will then have an opportunity to
make some interesting aud profitable
observations.

During the first ten months of 1897
the expectations of domestic manu-
features amounted to $234,728, oo7
against only $2o8, 276, I85 during the
same period of 1896. This must be
rather annoying to the Democratic
statesmen who held forth last summer
on the remarkable increase in the
expectations of manufactured articles
during the operations of the Wilson
law. and predicted their rapid falling
off as soon as the iniquitous Dingley
law should go into effect, for these
expectations continue to increase rap
