Annles as Medicine.

The German analysts say that the
apple contains a larger percentage of
phosphorus than any other fruit or veg
etable. This phosphorus Is admirably
adapted for renewing the essential
nervous matter, lIthlein, of the brain
aud spinal chord. II is perhaps for the
same reason the old Scandinavian ira
dilion represents the apple as the food
Of the gods. who, when they felt them
selves growing feeble and infrm, re-
sorted TO this fruit for renewing their
powers of mind and body. Also the
acids of the apple are of signal SER
vice for men of sedentary habits, whose
livers are sluggish In action. these acids
serving to eliminate from the body noX-
ious matters which, If retained, make
the brain heavy and dull, or bring
about jaundice, skin eruptions and 9th
or allied troubles. Some such expert
enee must have led TO our custom of
taking apple sauce with roast pork,

Trncos. n Goat. an Ode.

The word tragedy, derived from the
Greek tragos. goat. an ode, song.
originally denoted the song or chorus
that accompanied the sacrifice of a goat
to the gods. Comedy. the Anglicised
form of the Latin comaedia, comes
from the Kreek komos, festive pro-
cession. and aeideni, to sing referring
to the ode sung during the procession.
Farce is modern term, founded upon
the Latin verb facire, to stuff. This
was an allusion to the ancient buffoons
padding ont their clothing to abnormal
dimensions. Later the padding was
dispensed with, but the wide garments
retained.-Detroit Free Press.

Both the Dumas hands are those of
busy men. but the elder Dumas could
go ON forever. He never stopped to
punctuate One of his literary canons
was that clear style punctuates itself
There is good deal in this. The son
never missed comma, semicolon, colon
or full stop He had not the fathers IA
cility, which resembled a tropical veg
citation at the end of the rainy season.
The younger Dumas beat his brains
terribly and forced them to bring forth
plays. But his letters were jeux
d'esprit. He ought to have been a
preaching monk or an advocate. He
liked to preach and point morals and to
kick his fair penitents to give them real
cause to cry But he was not the brute
he liked to pass for being. Nothing can
be more refined than his handwriting.
The original manuscripts Of his plays
are scarcely legible. the corrections and
erasures are so numerous. But he did
not let the eopyist or indeed any stran-
ger see them, but rewrote and added
pungent and pregnant sentences as he
did so. The first thoughts of some au-
thors are the best; they were the worst
of Dumas fills unless when he was an
swering letter Answering, mind. 1t
was then a case of steel responding to
flint. Sparks flew II <.ere was an OK

communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at

ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to a woman.

confidence between Mrs. Pinlkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that

In return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, Is very
foolish II she does not take advantage

NASAL CAFARRH.

There is no more prevalent disease
than catarrh OF the nose passages,
The reason Of this is not far to seek.
1t is mainly because the lining mem
brane is subjected to cold air. hot air,
warm air, dust and all the evil inllr-
enceS the atmosphere can exert; and
SO after q time becomes chronically in
famed and thickened. But is all this
a serious matter? To a certain extent
yes The chief office, be it noted. Of
the Interior OF the nose is to strain and
warm the air before passing it into the
lungs To do this work effectually
there are situate within eaSh nostriI
three sets Of bones covered with mu-
cOUS m~embraneS), which are rolled up
on themselves like scrolls. Through
these scrolls it is really that the air
has to pass. BY far more air is thus
warmed and strained than would 9TH
erWise be possible. These bOny scrolls
are associated with the sense of smell.
and in ON animals, such. for exam
pie, as the dog, they are much more
deliberately developed than in men; and
Iliuo we l1io tHS SSIiSS VI SLtlGil lEicll
keener in the former. What is catarrh?
An inflammation of a mucous men,
brane, accompanied with more or less
discharge, is perhaps d good popular
definition. Sometimes the discharge
is mucous, and whitish or nearly col
orless; and, again, it is purulent and
yellowish. and sometimes streaked with
blood. The condition known as ca
tarrh is one in which the tissues be-
come permeated with ~eXtraneous cells,
and in which the tissue elements them
selves seem to have but one potential
property, viz, that of dying. Catarrh
of the nose passages may extend along
the passages until it has produced ca
tarrh of the throat. Catarrh of the
threat, in turn, it is alleged. may ex-
tend down ward until it cause bron-
chial or gastric disease. and even in
the end consumption. The ease with
which catarrh may frequently be cured
renders it all the more remarkable that
so many should be troubled with il SO
long. tor' We have known it to last
for many years. If an absolute cure
is to be effected, obviously the mucous
membrane must be cleared of infam-
matory deposits, when the thickening
will quickly vanish.

Democratic Theory vs.. Price Fact.

Mr.. Bryan's trip through the south
last week is understood here 10 have
been made with the purpose Of trying
to strengthen the waning cause Of sill
yer in that section, and at the same
time to encourage fusion, which has
been coldIy received by the PoDuiists
of the south generally. The tone of
the Populist press has been far from
satisfactory to the fusion leaders. and
great anxiety is felt among the friends
of silver lest this last attempt 10 unite
the voters of the three parties in its
support will prove an absolute fail
ure. The Populist press of that section
is insisting that the party cannot
march under Democratic banners. and
is carefully emitting the active support
of the silver cause which characterized
the earlier history OF the party and
press. The rapid Improvement Of
business conditions in the south and
the advance in prices of farm products
generally. in the face Of the steady fall
of silver since 1Er. Bryan's nomination.
are causing the average citizen TO lose
confidence in those assertions which
were the basis of the silver campaign
in 1896.
Notwithstanding the claim that
prices could not rise without the free
coinage Of silver, there has been q
steady advance in practically all farm
products since the date OF Mr.. Bryan's
nomination, and this has happened in
the face of a steady fail in the price Of
silver. Silver, which was GO cents per

Great Increase OF Work and Wages DUR
ing the Past Year.

ing the Past Year.
Convincing testimony as to the fE1-
proved condition Of organized labor il
given by Commissioner John T. Nc
Donough of the New York state bureau
Of labor statistics in his annual report.
According to this report, on March 81
last 927 labor organizations reported a
total membership of 142, $40. : At the
close OF the next quarter, June 30. 80
unions reported a membership OF l5l,-
2O6, and on September so, 1.009 organ
i~zations reported 167 Asa members, OF
whom 5,702 were women The in
crease in the number of organizations
reporting for the third quarter was
mainly due to more complete returns.
On March 81 1851 members Of
unions were reported as out of work at
that time, or 1866 per cent. Three
months later, on June 30, 27,3IS were
returned as unemployed. or 1871 per
cent, while on September 50 1920 were
so reported, or 1879 per cent.
Reports as to the number of days
each member worked show that dur
ing the first quarter the average mum
Der OF days of work per member vas
for men, So; for women, GO. In the
second quarter it was % for men and
81 for women, while for the third
quarter it was 81 for men and G6 for
women.
From the increase of the number of
days each male member of a trades
union worked from So days in the first
quarter to SO in the second and 81 in
the third quarters of the year 1897, as
well as from the marked decrease in
the percentage of the unemployed
$50 per cent on the 31st of March,
ISL per cent on the Both of June. and
1873 per cent on the Both of September
the conclusion is plain that there has
been an enormous increase in the gross
aggregate of employment and wages
during this year of protection to in
dustries and to labor.
What is true of New York is true Of
every state in the union. In some of
the states-for example, New Jersey.
Pennsylvania. Indiana. Ohio and Hi
nOis-the full statistics would doubt
less show q still larger increase in the
percentage of employment furnished
and wages paid.
The total sum for the wage-earning
and wa~ge-Eaying classes of the whole
United States would, if Obtainable, pre-
sent a gain for the year amounting TO
many hundreds Of millions of dollars.

date of Mr.. Bryan's nomination, w3s
ON Wednesday of last week 54.3 cents,
while meats, provisions, dairy products
and all kinds of grain have advanced.
The excuse which the supporters OF
silver in Washington have constantly
offered for the advance in wheat has
been that of the shortage abroad, n
their explanation of the advance In
other classes of grain has been that IL
has been due to sympathy" with tn'
advance in wheat. An examination,
however, of some tables just issued by
the bureau of statistics shows that the
advance in prices, which attracted most
attention with reference to wheat, has
been equally felt in practically all ar
ticles of farm production, and that all
this has happened in the face OF a
steady fall in silver.
These tables, which show the range
of prices in silver and various farm
productions. are too lengthy to repro
duce in full. 1t is practicable, how
ever, to present in a single table the
history of the upward course Of prices
in all classes of farm products in the
face of the downward course Of silver.
These facts. coming to the surface as
they do just at the time of Mr.. Bryan's
tour through the south and his pros
pective visit to Washington, are espe-
cially interesting and make the table
n well worth the study and preserva-
ton of everyone interested in the COM
ing campaign. The articles selected
for comparison with silver represent
the three great classes of farm produc-
tion-breadstuffs, provisions and wool
while other articles of the classes
thus represented have advanced in an
equally marked ratio. TIE comparison
includes the period from July 10,
1886, the date of Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
ton, to March 10, 1898. The table fol-
