GENEALOGICAL CHAIN RECORD.

Any one who has ever made the at.
tempt to trace their family record
knows that there is curious fascina-
ton about it, and it is with consider
able pleasure that each link Is discov-
cred which connects the present with
time long past, especially If 1t be
found that some ancestor held a prom
inent position in affairs, either as a
statesman, soldier or business man.
Numerous devices have been thought
out for the convenient recording Of
the names and history of these ances-
tors. the chief difficulty being that in
bringing ali branches of an ancient
family down to the present, the
branches are 80 numerous that 1t is

idea being presented herewith. In

connected one to the next by small
rings or links, the branches being indi-

Whooping Cough. = A physician
named Leureaux announces that he
has discovered the serum Of whooping
cough, which Is injected under the
skin In the abdominal region. The
first effects are apparent about forty
eight hours after the incubation. The
serum produces early cessation of the
coughing fits and a great diminutiOn
Of the normal period Of illness. If the
injection is made Immediately on the
manifestation of the usual symptoms,
the malady can be cured in eight or
ten days. The usual course is from
six to eight weeks.
Govt. - This distressing complaint
does not arise, as Is popularity sup
posed, from high-living, but is fully as
common in the beer drinker as in the
champagne, and besides 1t Is more
likely to occur among the poorer class
es, on account of their surroundings.
Treatment Is as follows: Soak the toe
In hot water night and morning and
apply an ointment Of ichthyol one
ounce, lanoline three ounces. Every
three hours take teaspoonful In a
wine glass full Of water Of the follow
ing: Iodide Of potash, one-half ounce;
wine of colchium seed, one-half ounce;
fluid extract Of stillingia, one ounce;
compound syrup of sarsaparilla, six
ounces. At meals take five-grain
tablet Of citrate Of lithia in a glass
Of water.
Gluttony.-We all eat more than we
require. In a most primitive state Of
society meals were more irregular and
the amount Of food tailed more with
the efforts expended in obtaining It,.
Now we eat because 1t Is a meal time.
Too many Of us eat not by rule but to
repletion, while probably all Of us eat
again before we are really hungry.
Day after day little more Is taken
than Is used and this excess disturbs
the liver leases the stomach or leads
to torpor. or sometimes Is put by in
the form of fat. Thus we never have
opportunity Of striking proper bal
ance between intake and output I'M
less we follow the wise maxim Of the
church and fast once week-not
merely abstain from the mere tooth
some delicacies but fasting honestly
even to emptiness and discomfort.

The Crowded Street Car.
From the Chicago Tribune.


With the spectacle Of the crowded street
car before US 1t will not do to boast too
loudly of the achievements of civi,iza-
tion." For this packed vehicle Is one OF
the greatest Of uncivilizers. A man NAV
enter a car a gentleman and come out a
savage. and though we have it on the
best authority that a lady Is lady what
ever be the conditions, still no woman can
feel like a lady while she is being banded
about in a crowded car. Culture has not
yet arrived at that point when 1t can bear
with equanimity the trampling Of its toes
the squeezing of its person, or the piercing
OF Its sides with elbows. Pleas for seats
IN cars used to be based solely on the de-
sire Tor comfort and convenience but now
tney might be demanded in the name OF
numanitartanism. The fatigue of the
street car posture often proves the last
straw that breaks tired humanityss hack.
ana several cases have been cited of indi.
Vlouals who have succumbed to this riding
WEAKNESS. or course, 1t might be said that
when people have reached the point of
collapse 1t matters little where thew are
ana that they would be as likely to suc-
cumR In their own parlor as in the less
commodious car. but seat at the right
moment often prevents collapse, and the
Individual who pays for one has a right
to expect 1t. Whether near or far the
time is bound to come when to part with
q nickel for street car fare instead of
meaning the parting with ones comfort
and dignity at the same time will be the
signal for the assurance Of a seat and the
comfort that can never be known In cars
while there Is standing room only.
