How to Stop Shocking and Coughing.

Most of us have no doubt experienced the discomforts of being seized with a fit of coughing or sneezing at the most inconyenient times and places, and 1t is not usually supposed that any exercise of the will power can be made efficient in checking either cough or sneeze. Dr. Brown-Sequard. however, in one of his lectures said that coughing can be stopped by pressing on tho nerves of the lips in the neighborhood of the nose. sneezing may be stopped by the same means Pressing In the neighborhood of the ear may stop coughing. Pressing very hard on the top of the mouth is also means of stopping coughing.

He Natural.

If a woman cannot secure young man for a life mate by being herself, living her natural life, she would be far better off to remain single to the end of her days The cloak of deception universally worn by young women as we'll as young men during courtship cannot be continued through married life when together. The strain would be too great and the mask must and Is thrown off and trouble begins, Each one finds that the other is not what he or she seemed to be. What she or be in reality was would be just what some other young man or woman would want, for there is Jack for every Jill. When de- ception, lying or false swearing Is re- sorted to for material gain. 1t brings in its train Its own punishment every ime.-Philadelphia Times.

ANIMATED PHOTOGRAPHS.
Successful Use of the Cinematograph Ip
 Teaching Astronomy.

Successful Use of the Cinematograph Ip
 Teaching Astronomy.
 The Paris correspondent of the Lon- don Standard says: When tho first ami mated photographs were shown, few persons could have imagined that the oinematograph would shortly be used as O means of teaching astronomy. That Is, however, the latest application of the invention. NJ. Camille Flammarion, the we'll known French astronomer. has undertaken the task of photographing, or "cinematographing," the sky. The other day he informed me that he was we'll satisfied with the results he had already obtained.
 As there Is no cinematographto ma chino which could work from sunset to sunrise and as the apparent movement of the celestial bodies Is very slow. M Flammarion contents himself with talk ing between 2,000 and 5000 photo graphs of the Armament every night when the sky Is clear. He contends that they will Do amply sufficient to show the motion of the moon, stars and planets without any perceptible break in the continuity. It appears that the object glass he employs in his photo graphic apparatus Is such as to embrace 180 degrees, so that the whole f1rma- ment will be seen when the photographs are put into the cinematograph. Con- menoing at dusk, the moon and stars will as darkness comes on appear one after the other in proportion to their magnitude and be seen pursuing their course in the sky till the light of the rising sun In the east produces the in- verse of the phenomenon witnessed In the evening. Of course, as Is commonly the case with the scenes of terrestrial life reproduced by the oinematograph, the apparent motion of the heavenly bodies will be hastened so that their course from east to west will not occupy more than few minutes.
 M. Flammarion also told me that 1t was his intention to treat the spots on the sun in the same way and that he hoped very shortly to be able with the cinematograph to show to the inhab- itants of our little planet the move ments of those formidable vortioes of fire in the suns envelope as correctly as the movement of water and the break ing of the waves of the ocean are now shown

A Man Eating Canal.

Perhaps the greatest waste of human life ever recorded was caused by the cutting of canal In China. The work was begun in 1895, and though the canal was 23 miles long, 80 feet wide and 12 feet deep and passed through forests and marshes it was finished in six weeks from it's beginning. No fewer than 90, 900 men worked at 1t day and night, and 1000 died of fatigue

DON'T TREAD ON US.

The Reno Journal the other day
published the following senib:
~Storey county with her 1900 votes,
Washoe with her 1000, Ormsby with
1000, Lyon. Rongias and EsmerGlda
with 1000 cnmposes over one-haIf
the voting population OF the State"
The Journals assertion raised the
ire Of the Silver State and it COM
ments as follows:
aye Gods! Does the Journal think
that those hen coop counties with Il
battling mob Of hungry office seek
ers comprises The whole State? The
editor Of the journal may think
otherwise after election. 1t is true
that Humboldt has only 1900 and
that Elko has only 1900 and Lincoln
only 1900 and Lander and Eureka
but 1000 and Nye and White Pine but
700. Yet it has been these counties
whose loyalty to silver and loyalty to
Nevada has resulted in victory for
the Silver party in the past. You
may omit, Mr.. Journal, from your
consideration Humboldt, Lincoln and
Elko, but we wish to assure you that
Golconda, Tuscarora and DeLamar
will In two years cast as many votes
combined as your aesthetic and boss
ridden counties and then when you
want anything you will have to ask
for it. Golconda does not want the
Asylum, but she will have votes
enough to secure the capital IN 1900"
The Silver State is right. Eastern
Nevada is coming to the front rapid
ly and it Will not be long before the
removal of the State institutions from
Carson and Reno will be a necessity.
When that time comes, Elko may
concede Golconda the capital, but
she will claim everything else in
sight. We have plenty of room for
the prison, Orphans Home, asylum
and State University. We had fish
hatchery once which we will give to
Reno or Carson. Poor things! They
couldn't get along without some sort
OF State institution out Of which to
support their people. Reno AMI Car
son should beware how they Jump on
the growing East or they may stir up
more snakes than they can kill.

Another Good Democrat,

Jim Morris, the Democratic NOM
inee for State Printer, is the foreman
OF the Reno Gazette. 1t has been a
good many years since the State
Printing Office has been presided
over by thorough and competent
printer, but If Morris succeeds in be-
ing elected the establishment will
have at its head just such a man. He
has been foreman of the Gazette for
about nine years, ID sober and indus
trious, and would not have to depend
entirely upon foreman to see that
things were going right i'll his office.
