The Toast for a Sailor.

Sweethearts and wives; ill up the glass
With crystal clink and clatter,
And drink the liquid jewels down.
May the former become the latter.
When raging winds and waves unite
To raise mighty chorus,
We know that sweet and gentle lips
At home arc praying for us.
Sweethcarts and wives-the precious
names
That makes our hearts grow warmer:
Through every storm on sea or shore
May the latter remain the former.
Though pillows surge and tempests roar
+ And straining hawsers sever,
Our thoughts upon the Keeling deck
Are with them both forever!

NEURALGIA.
Something About This Troublesome
Disease.

Something About This troublesome
Disease.
Pain in a nerve may be due to many
causes, such as inflammation of the
nerve itself or of the parts around it,
pressure by tumor or swelling some
where along the course of the nerve,
disease at the point of origin of the
nerve in the brain or spinal cord. and
the like.
When no cause can be discovered for
the pain it is called neuralgia; but the
term is becoming more and more re-
stricted in it's APPLICATION as medical
science advances and new means of de-
tecting disease in formerly inaccessi-
bic parts of the body are devised.
The pain is intermittent in character;
that is to say, attacks of pain alternate
with pain-free periods. The duration
of the attacks, as well as of the in
tervals between them. varies from q
few hours to days or even weeks.
Children do not. as a rule, suffer
from neuralgia In any part OF the body;
they may have hearaches, 1t is true,
but those are usually 'd,ieeto eye-strain
or to some distinct nervous trouble.
The pain of neuralgia is usually very
acute and cutting. and Is constantly
varying In intensity. now dying down
for time, so as to be scarcely notice
able, and again becoming almost I'M
endurable. stabbing the poor sufferer
with ferocious malignlty. pW "A
The character of the pain serves to
distinguish neuralgia from so-called
muscular rheumatisns the pain of
which Is a steady dull ache rather than
sharp, boring and paroxysmal agony.
There is n curious form of neuralgis
which is called reminiscent" 1t oc

type, who have suffered from nerve

cause, and In whom the pain persists
after the cause has been removed. The
nerve seems to have acquired a habit
If hurting. which continues indepen-
| IDENTIFY of the original cause.
The treatment of neuralgia is often
most difficult and unsatisfactory, for
| IL the cause cannot be determined the
physician must work at random. The
first step must be to relieve the pain
during an attack. which Is often posi-
BILE only by means Of powerful an
odynes.
A neuralgia sufferer Is usually below
par physically, and, therefore. tonics,
nourishing food and change of air,
when possible, almost always do good.

Dold killed six hundred hogs yesterday

about the railroads allowing their hogs
to remain from one to two hours on
the downtown switches before taking
them to the stock yards.
Very nearly the whole force at the
stock yards slipped down town yester-
day to see the flower parade. Henry
Wales remained to see that the yards
and exchange did not get away.
Joe Scott, the popular shipper at Peck,
admitted that he got more for his hogs
on this market yesterday than he ex-
pected. The shippers who sell hogs hero
know they are getting more money for
their stock than they would bring IN
any other market
