DISTRESSING ASTHMA.
To Bc Cured This Disease Must he
Fought In Early stages.


In popular usage asthma Is a term
employed to describe well known
condition. yet Il is significant Of the
broadened knowledge OF diseases sin
general that. as a distinct disease the
name is applied in a more and more
restricted sense 10y physicians.
For example. the asthma OF which
DR. Johnson complains in his later
years. as recorded by Boswell, is so
clearly set forth by the faithful blog
rapher that the modern physician Is
even now able to determine that an
affection Of the heart was responsible
FOR IT,
Asthma is often a family affection
and is frequently traceable TO parents
grandparents or greatgr grandparents
Most sufferers are Of an excitable, emo
tional or nervous temperament. II
bears rather striking analogy 30 cpl
lepsy In that it's attacks are character
ized by suddenness and Influenced by
strong emotions. like fear or grief, and
not lnfrequently occur at night, when
the sufferer may be plunged from deep
sleep into an attack. In both diseases
excitement during the day is often fol-
lowed by attacks.
Physicians believe. however that a
high strung organization alone ia not
sufficient TO develop the disorder. but
that some other source of irritation
must be added-that is. some faulty
state OF the system elsewhere. like dis
ease OF the digestive tract. harmful
factors circulating in the blood. obsta-
cles 10 free breathing in the nose and
others
Whatever may be the source they
must be dealt wit energetcally and at
an early stage, since long standing
cases Of asthma invariably develop
changes in the lungs and heart which
are permanent The disease can then
be dealt with only by measures aimed
at palliating and cutting short the sep
arate attacks and with no reasonable
! hope Of an actual permanent cure.
| For the young sufferer and for those
| In the early attacks of asthma the
| writer would emphasize the necessity
Of a thorough search for and the re-
moval Of any ana every error in by
gienic living in order to avoid the suf-
fering Of the chronic asthmatic and the
further diseases which 1t brings in its
train.-YOuth's Companion.

while living In Paris Balzac locked
himself up in his for twenty-five
days and twenty-five nights, refusing
to see any one and keeping the cur
tains closed and the lights continually
burning even in broad daylight. The
only human being he saw during this
time was his servant, whom he rang
for when he felt the need of food and
which he washed down with numerous
cups of coffee. He would throw him
self on his bed only when entirely ex-
haustcd from lack of sleep, and he re-
manned In complete ignorance of what
was Transporting outside, the state of
the weather and even of the time and
day of the week. He only freed him
self from this voluntary captivity when
he had written the word END" on the
last page Of the manuscript he began
when he entered his prison.

whitman's Little Jokes.

One Sunday morning Whitman came
out to see me on Prospect hill, in Som.
erville, where l was then living, says
]. Il. Trowbridge in The Atlantic. OF
much Of that days talk l have a vivid
recollection, even Of its trivialities. He
was not n loud laugher and rarely
made Il joke, but he greatly enjoyed
the p~leasantries of others. He enjoy.
ell especially my allusion, serious or
ocular, to his poems.
When at dinner, preparing my dish
of salad, l remarked that l was en-
ployed as his critics would be when
his new edition was out, he queried,
"Devouring Leaves Of GrassY" mo-"
l said: "cutting up Leaves Of Grass"
which amused him more, l fancy, than
the cutting up did, which came later.
As the afternoon waned and he spoke
of leaving us somebody placed a book
before the face of the clock. l said,
"Put Leaves of Grass there; nobody
can see through that" mot even the
authory" he said, with a whimsical
lifting of the brows.

The Komnns Did Not Use Soap.
The Romans were not acquainted
with the use of regular soap, but they
employed an alkali, with which the
greasy dirt was dissolved out of their
clothes. This alkali, called nitrum, is
referred to by Pliny, but the cheapest
solvent was urine, which was mostly
used. The clothes were put in this,
mixed with water and then stamped
upon with the feet. This process was
performed by old people, while boys
lifted the clothes out of the tubs. The
white garments, after being washed,
were subjected to the vapor Of sulphur,
being stretched on a frame and the sui
phur burned beneath. Poor people in
Rome cleansed their bodies with meal
of lupins, called lomentum, which, with
common meal, is still used in some
places for that purpose.
