CONCERNING NosEBLEED.
Facts That Are Useful to Know
About q Common Aff1iction.

From the Medical Journal.
Nosebleed is so common in childhood
that little account is ordinarily made
of it. Where 1t occurs repeatedly with
out apparent prOVoCatiOn, however
effort should be made not only to
check the immediate attack, but to as
certain the cause of the trouble. 1t is
well known that heart disease, con-
gcStiOn of the liver and other Condi-
tions affected by, or affecting the cir
culation of, the blood, predispose to
nosehleed, and considerable anxiety is
frequently felt lest the nosebleed of
childhood may be the result of serious
constitutional causes. Most common
ly the cause is local.
The best means of checking the inn
mediate attack Is pressure with the
finger on the upper lip, just beneath
the nostrils. a small pad of absorbent
cotton or piece of handkerchief may
be placed inside the lip and tightly
pressed against the gum from without,
thus compressing the two small arter-
les of the upper lip that supply the
nose. These can ordinarily be felt pull
satinG in this locality.
If the bleeding is profuse or pro-
lOnge1, the child should be placed in a
restful position, but with the head
elevated, while lie may be held to the
forehead or the back of the neck. To
decrease still further the blood pres
sure within the vessels of the nose
mustard footbath is of service.
IL the meantime, blowing the nose
must be avoided. Plugging the nos
trils both in front and back is a last
resort to keep the sufferer from actual
peril
The predisposing causes of nosebleed
are, az has been said, commonly local.
Careful examination of the nose is,
therefore, always necessary in recur-
rent attacks. Diseased areas in the
nose are usually found, in which the
vessels are spongy and unnaturally
turgid.
The depression Of the childs health
caused by repeated attacks Of nose-
bleed not infrequently requires atten-
tion. If the trouble is due to sys-
tematic weakness, attention is to be
especially directed to an improvement
of the general condition; while If the
lungs are themselves weak, repeated
attacks of nosebleed are sometimes In
dications of the need of a change of
climate or of proper physical exercises
at home,
The formation of scabs or crusts,
often attended in childhood with pick
ing of the nose, must not be over
looked as cause of nosebleed.
Watchfulnass may be required to pre-
vent the formation of an unfortunate
habit, but the affected spots must also
be treated with ointment or other
simple means of healing.

FIRE ON PENN AVENUE.
Debris in Basement of Klein's Store
Caught Fire.

Fire broke out about els o'clock last
evening in the basement of Joseph
Klein's wholesale liquor store at 4O4-
406 Penn avenue, the blaze starting in
a mass of debris lying on the ground.
Its origin is n mystery. 1t was discov-
cred by Edward Gilroy, q boy who
works in the place.
After closing the store about 6
o'clock, he was standing at a fruit
stand, across the street, for shelter
from the rain, when about GEO o'clock
stephen McKenna, of Penn avenue,
called out to him that he could see
smoke in the cellar Gilroy immedi-
ately turned in the alarm from Box 10,
at Penn avenue and Mulberry street.
The Crystals, Nay Augs, Phoenix
chemical and Hook and Ladder COM
panies all responded.
Entry was effected through a cellar
door in front of the store, and a large
amount of chemicals used in putting
out the blaze. The cellar was full of
smoke and it was difficult work sub
DUNG the fire, but after about half an
hours hard work it was over, with
very little damage done. 1t was pre-
vented from spreading to the upper
part of the store, and in the cellar very
little damage was done.

completed, but the Philadelphia hall
is unfinished and it is estimated that
additional appropriations of $4,OOO,OOO
will be needed to carry out the plans
of construction and elaborate designs
of decoration. The mayors office is
one of the most superb apartments in
the country-as splendid as the au-
dience chamber of a king-and it's dec
orations alone cost over $6O,OOO but
they are no more extravagant or eX-
quisite than those of the directors
office of one of the savings institutions
of Philadelphia.
The enormous cost of both buildings
has been due not only to extravaganza
waste and corruption, but to a vicious
system of making separate contracts
for every little thing that was done or
needed. 1t was no doubt of political
advantage to distribute the contracts
and the purchases of supplies among as
many people as possible, but it did
not promote economy, and one of the
great architects of the world told me
that the city hall here could be re-
produced today for half its cost If one
contract We're awarded to one person.
1t has been the practice to give the
contract for door knobs to one man,
locks to another, keys to a third and
hire a fourth to put them on, and as
each contractor was expected to make
a contribution to the political war
chest he added that amount to the
price. There have also been labor
regulations on both buildings which
have increased the rate of wages paid,
reduced the number of hours of labor
