NEURALGIA.
Something About This Troublesome
Disease.

Something About Thl0 Tr0u6leo0ne
Disease.
Pain in a nerve may be due to many
causes, such as Inflammation Of the
nerve itself or Of the parts around 1t.
pressure by a 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 1t Is called neuralgia; but the
term is becoming more and more re-
stricted In Its APPLICATION as medical
science advances and new means Of de-
tecting disease In formerly inaccessi-
BILE 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 a
few hours to days or even weeks.
Children do not. as rule, suffer
from neuralgia In any part Of the body;
they may have hearaches. II Is true,
but those are usually due to 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 a time. SO as to be scarcely notice
able, and again becoming almost un-
endurable, stabbIng the poor sufferer
with ferociOus malignity.
The character Of the pain serves to
distinguish neuralgia from so-called
muscular rheumatism, the pain of
which is q steady dull ache rather than
q sharp. boring and paroxysmal agony.
There Is a curious form of neuralgia
which Is called reminiscent" 1t oc-
ours In persons. usually of a nervous
type, who have suffered from nerve
pain due to Inflammation. the pressure
Of a tumor. or some other removable
cause, and In whom the pain persists
after the cause has been removed. The
nerve seems to have acquired a habit
Of hurting, which continues indepen-
IDENTITY of the original cause.
The treatment Of neuralgia is often
most difficult and unsatisfactory, for
II 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 pOssi-
BILE only by means Of powerful an
odynes.
4 neuralgia sufferer is usually below
par physically. and, therefore. tonics.
nOurishing food and n change Of air,
when possible. almost always do good.

BEAUTIFUL KILLARNEY.
It Takes Three Days to "Do" It's At.
fractions ThorouUhly.


A certain tourist, who was doing all
the sights of the Holy Land with pain
full earnestness, was scandalized to see
an American arrive one afternoon,
hurry round all the sacred places, and
make ready to depart betimes on the
morrow. He ventured to inquire of
this bustling traveller why, having
come so far, he rushed away so quick
ly. Sir" replied the Yankee, Il am
timed to do Europe In fortnight. l
have thrown in the Holy Land, and If 1
stay here longer than one night / can
not see Killarney, which takes three
days" That American had been well
advised. Energetic, bustling tourists
have endeavored to see all the beau
ties Of the place in one day, and though
they have been delighted and over
whelmed by what they saw, they have
not been able to restrain pang Of re-
gret at the thought Of what they had
missed.
Killarney, II not In itself. at least
by description, is known the world
over, and has a great reputation to
maintain: but, unlike many other
places of renown, 1t does not belle 1t.
The lakes of Killarney may not prove
to be quite as the stranger anticipated,
but the impression he carries away Is
none the less one Of profound admira-
ton and wonder. The particular charm
which enwraps him is that of the
peaceful loveliness and serenity of the
whole, and this strikes home with in
creased conviction after passing by the
waterway from the upper to the lower
lake. The former sheet Of water, en-
veloped as it Is by ragged peaks and
gloomy, unelothed mountains, cannot
vie with the lower lake, whose mag
nificent stretch of silver waves Is
fringed and caressed by foliage and
trees, by rich meadows and sweet
smelling blooms. while the rugged out
line of the wild hills is softened by the
purple haze, and space Is lost In an in
finity Of graceful undulations. The
boat ride from the far edge of the
upper lake to the ruins Of Ross Castle
is an experience which cannot be de-
scribed. 1t must be enjoyed; and rest
assured 1t will linger In the memory
to the last day.-London TimeA

KEITH'S THEATRE, PHILADEL-
PHIA.

Never says the Philadelphia In
Quirer. was the value Of cleanliness
more strikingly exemplified than in the
success which has rewarded the efforts
of Benjamin Franklin Keith. No pro-
WIDER of theatrical amusement has
done SO much. no other man in the
business has been so powerful in ele-
waiting the stage in general. He has
demonstrated that the good in theat-
ricals il not always the most enjoyable.
but the most remunerative. He has
revolutionized the branch Of the bust-
ness to which his houses are devoted.
Sixteen years ago the variety theatre
was Stunned by women: to-day wo-
men and children constitute so per cent.
of the patronage of his Philadelphia
House. To-day no more enjoyable en-
tertainments are provided anywhere.
and the audiences that assembled In his
playhouses include the foremost people
of our city, as we'll as the most dis
eliminating theatre-goers. Mr.. Keith
is to erect a $1,000. 900 theatre on Chest
nut street. and house up town. Many
theatre parties from this city visit
Keith's weekly.

A Good Fire Rfndier.

On one Of our outings to the noun
tains we secured a quantity Of very rich
pitch pine which made such good kind
ling wood that when 1t was gone the
old way Of whiting shavings seemed
very unsatisfactory. and we set out to
find something better. Pouring kero-
sene on makes the fire start quickly. but
we have a prejudice against being
burned alive. After various experiments
we hit upon the following which Is safe
and cheap and good. Take a fat ten
pound lard pail Break corn cobs in
two and stand the halves on end In the
pail until the bottom Is filed. Then
pour kerosene enough over them to wet
the cobs and leave little In the bottom
Of the pail. 20 that half an inch or less
Of the cobs viii stand in the oil. One
Of these pieces Of cob laid in the crate
will light readily from a match and
burn strongly enough to start quite
coarse kindling, and prove a great help
