Bronchitis and GIycerin.

A girl long troubled with bronchi-
tbs called in the family physician
during an unusually severe acute at
tack. He directed her to use glyc-
erin whenever affected by that pc
culiar dryness of the throat that at
tends bronchitis. Five drops Of
glycerin held as long as practicable
in the mouth, with lips closed,
proved indeed a wonderful aid. The
doctor further said that equal parts
of glycerin and water dropped into
the mouth would relieve much suf-
fering in illness where feverish con-
aitions existed.-Harper's Bazaar.

Pie-Eating Rabbit

The readers of the Times-Dis-
patch may possibly recall little
story told in that paper some
months ago of rabbit which,
when run down by some dogs at
the home of Mr.. Moon, in Flu
wanna county, was carried in tn,
house and there, sitting Upon its
hind legs, was fed upon slice of
pie, and later given handful of
persimmons.
The sequel of this story is told
by Mr.. Walter Moon. mail carrier
on route No. /. The same rabbit,
after being entertained in this
hospitable home for some time,
was finally released to return to
his native wild. One of the dogs,
belengingto Mr.. Moons father
chased after the rabbit again, and,
finding his efforts of no avail,
came back, stood in front of his
master, gazed earnestly In his face,
and dropped dead.
"Revenge is sweet" Either
the dog was tricked by the pie-eat-
ing rabbit in return for his per-
scouting, or the poor fellow died
of broken heart in his disappoint-
ment at not catching the cotton
tail. But the rabbit might have
had some manners, and remember
ed the hospitality of the master.

A Comprehensive Answer.

Diner-How comes this dead fly
in my soup?
Waiter-In fact, sir, ] have no
positive idea how the poor thing
came by its death. Perhaps it had
not taken any food for long time,
dashed upon the soup, ate too much
of it and contracted an infamma-
ton of the stomach that brought on
death. The fly must have had a
weak constitution, for when served
up the soup it was dancing merrily
on the surface Perhaps-and the
idea presents itself only at this mo-
ment-it endeavored to swallow too
large piece of vegetable. This, re-
naming fast in the throat, caused a
choking in the windpipe. These are
the only reasons ! can give for the
death of that insect.

KIT CARSON.
Some Of the Famous Scouts Exploits
as DisE ateh Bearer.

Some Of the Famous Scouts Exploit
as Dier atch Bearer.
There was needed messenger ia
the government at Washington,
Who better could be this than this
iron framed rider, Kit Carson
He started on Sept. IS, 1916, and
had won across the Rocky noun
tains when he met General Kear-
ny's column and was ordered to re-
turn to California. In this return
the Kearny column was assailed by
the California Mexicans, stern fight
erS themselves, who pushed Kear-
ny's forces into a desperate situa-
ton. The beleaguered troops need
ed a messenger out to San Diego.
Kit Carson and Lieutenant Beale of
the navy undertook the task. The
hardships of the march wrecked the
mind and body Of Beale, who was
an invalid for two years thereafter.
1t was nothing to Kit Carson. In
March, 1847, he was started once
more as q dispatch bearer to Wash.
ington. This time he met the In
dams on the ella, fought them, got
through, crossed New Mexico, de-
scended the Arkansas river and in
the month of June arrived at Wash
ington after having made 1000
miles in three months time. The
journey requires little more than
three days now, but we do not make
it on horseback.
At Washington as some sort Of
reward for his services Carson was
appointed lieutenant of the rife
corps of the United States army.
His commission, however, was new
er ratified, though this he did not
learn until some months later. He
was sent back to California with dis
patches. He crossed the Missouri
river, fought the Comanches at the
Point of Rocks and had won as far
through as the Virgin river before
he met his next Indian fight. He
and fifteen companions here stood
off 800 Indians In time he reached |
Monterey and later, simply to keep |
himself in practice, took service |
against the Mexicans on the border |
'or a time.
There was no man of all those |
nown to the army officers who had |
he resources or was so we'll quail
led as a dispatch rider as Kit Car
on. He was sent back once more
o Washington in the spring of 1S4S.
The physical frame of any man ex-
ept himself had been by these jour-
leyings too far racked to enable him
o make this long and hazardous
rip. The souls of most men would
ave failed them long ere this. Yet
his hardy, tough little man, just
ig enough for steady riding, cheer
ully undertook this third journey
cross a continent as dispatch bear
Hough in Outing.

SIGHTSEERS' HEADACHE.
Caused by Strain on the Elevator Mus
ces of the Eye.

Caused by Strain on the Elevator Mus
cles of the Eye.
Academy" or "sightseers' " head
ache is a not uncommon experience,
and some observations Of Simeon
Smell appear to throw some light on
Its causation. Allowing that in GER
tain instances astigmatism or other
form of ametropia is a factor in its
production, he yet argues that there
are other influencing conditions. In
support of this he quotes the expert
ence of lady who always suffered
from severe headaches after visiting
the theater when she had occupied a
seat in the pit, but was free from
such a disturbance when she sat in
the dress circle. In the first posi-
ton, it is pointed out, sustained ac-
ton of the elevator muscles of the
eyeballs is required in order to see
the stage, and this is exactly the ac-
ton which is required in studying
collection of pictures and more
especially in looking at those which
are hung "above the line"
The same experience has been not
ed by Mr.. Smell in the case of cy-
clists, particularly Of those who lean
over the handle bars with the head
lowered and who, therefore, in look.
ing ahead keep the eyeballs upward.
A further argument is found in the
experience of miners nystagmus,
which, it is suggested, is due to wea-
riness of the elevator muscles Of the
eyeballs, caused by the constrained
position in which the miner works.
There can be no doubt of the
physiological fact that lateral move
ment of the eyeballs is much more
easy and requires less muscular eff
fort than movement in a vertical |
plane. All this goes to show that
strain is involved in sus-
tanned upward movement Of the eye
balls, and this may well result in a
sense of WEAKNESS or more pro-
nounced discomfort.-Lon Hos
pital.

Vita-Pathy
tho "Eeffernan T

or. the "Heffernan Treatment"
is system Of Therapeutics originated by
DR.. Thomas J. Iefenan of Providence
II is based upon the theory that il man
lives a correct life, ate nothing bu; natural
food, breathed plenty Of pure air into his
lungs, clothed his body so lightly, that the
pores Of the entire body could breathe pure
air and cast off the carbouio acid gas from
the skin, abstain from the use Of poison,
dope, intoxicants, aromas, and tobacco,
and in addition TO eating natural food,
nourished his nervous ystem, through the
pores of the skin with liquid called nerve
food, barring accident he could live forever
that this was the original intention Of God;
that the sin Of Adam did not incur sure
death to all OF his children, that since the
eternal life Of man is here on this earth
there is no necessity for future existence,
and therefore the dead man is like unto a
dead tree, save that the spirit is continued
in the children, for which reason those who
die and leave no issue, are completely ex-
tinguished.
