COUGHS AND COUGHING.
Natures Method OF Clearing the Air
PassaGcs-CseIess Coughs.

Natures Method OF Clearing the Air
PassaGcs-UseIess Coughs,
A cough was intended by nature az
a means Of removing some offending
substance from the air passages, and
Us such it is Of the greatest protection
II the irritation of the mucous mem
brane of the farynx and bronchial
tubes, caused by the presence Of some
strange body or of the usual mucous
secretion in too great quantity, did not
excite the expansive act which we cali
coughing we should be in constant
danger of sufocation every time we
had a slight, attack of bronchitis or q
cold in the chest
If cough were occasioned only in
this way it would be a most useful
measure, and there would be no more
need FOR cough mixtures than for rem,
edies to arrest breathing, but the hu-
man machine sometimes gets out of
order, like any other mechanism. This
wires get crossed. and a message sent
from some distant organ, like the liver,
for example, may get switched over to
the nerve center which regulates the
complex series of movements produc-
ing cough. This center, receiving a
stimulus from somewhere, responds
Just as if the message came from the
larynx, and cough is established.
This liver cough" does no good, and
the sooner it is stopped the better.
Again, the mucous membrane Of
some portion Of the air tubes, instead
of secreting too freely, may become
dry. The nerve center is warned me
chanically that there is something irri-
tating the larynx or bronchial tubes,
and it starts q cough to get rid Of it.
This cough, too. is useless. and worse
than useless. for it serves only to irri-
tate still more the infamed mucous
membrane.
Cough may also be excited by abb
normal conditions in the nose, ears
or gullet or may occur as a symptom
Of disease Of the heart, kidneys or
nervous system. In such cases 1t is
the endeavor Of the physiciIn to arrest
the cough by discovery and removal
of the cause, if possible, or, If this
cannot be done, by the administration
Of cough remedies.
In cough due to dryneSs Of the mu-
cous membrane Of the air tubes the
remedies employed are those that will
promote a flow of mucus to moisten
the offending part This can sometimes
be accomplished without medicine. by
the Inhalation Of the vapor rising from
q pitcher Of hot water to which tea
spoonful of benzoin has been added.
Until the cause of a cough is known
the use of powerful cough medicines,
most of which contain paregoric or OPT
UNI in some form, is most inadvisable

WINeLEss BIRDS.

New Zealand Swarmed with Them
Before It's Occupation by Man.
For ages before its occupation by
man New Zealand swarmed with great
wingless birds, which found there no
carnivorous enemies, but an abundance
Of vegetable food The moas not only
existed in vast numbers and for thou
sands Of years, but had such diversity
Of form as to embrace no less than sew
en- genera containing twenty-five spe-
cies, a remarkable fact which is IN
paralleled in any other part Of the
world. The eommonest kinds in the
North island were only from two and
one-half to four feet high. Those Of the
South island were mostly from four to
six feet tall, while the giant forms,
reaching twelve and thirteen feet, were
always rare
Immense deposits Of moa bones have
been found in localities to which they
appear TO have been washed from the
hills in tertiary times. Skeletons on
the surface Of the ground, with skin
and ligaments still attached, have Civ
en- the impression that these birds have
been exterminated in very recent years,
but other fScts point to a different con-
clusiOn. Tradition seems to show, ac-
cording to F. NJ. HuttoR that the moa
became extinct in the North island soon
after the arrival Of Maoris in New Zea-
land-that is, not less than 400 to 500
years ago, and In the South island
about 100 years later.
The fresh appearing skin and liga'
ments are supposed TO have been pre-
served by unusually favorable eondi-
tons.

SENATOR PLAT
(Memp1is COmmercial-AppeaD
< x & Z < < & & 4; z < <

We notice that State Senator Brack.
EFT of Saratoga has introduced a reso-
luton in the New York senate calling
on chauneey Depew to resign his pos
ition as United States senator from
New York.
While the resolution is timely and
ought to be adopted, we see no reason
why it shOuli not, be amended to in
clude Senator Plat. Senator Depew
has confessed to receiving money
from an Insurance company to repre-.
sent it's interests. He does not say
that the representation thus baTgained
and paid for consists of his services
in the senate Of the United States but
by that process of logic called elimi-
bnation many are convinced that it is
this or nothing, and these many have
a deep-seatcd belief that not even in
surance companies pay out money for
nothing
Senator Plat acknowledges the re-
ceipt of insurance moneys to be used
in political campaigns. In this the
senior New York senator is not quite
so far in the mire as is his junior con-
fere; but # we remember rightly, Sen
ator Plat, last year, openly avowed
that the postal package system was
hostile to the interests of his express
company, and for this reason he ac-
complished the death of the measure,
providing such a system.
Surely here was representation Of
the express company and not Of the
people. The senator's services may
not have been paid for by a fixed sum
as seems to have been the case with
Senator Depew. nevertheless he re-
ceived for them the remuneration Of
the protected PROFITS of his company.
So far as morality is concerned the
representation given insurance by
Senator Depew is not whit less mi
quitous than that given his express
company by Senator Plat. There.
fore, If the New York legislature is
going to ask the junior senator to re-
sign, while it is engaged in the good
work the invitation shoul1 be extend.
ed in an equally peremptory manner
to the senior senator.

Take Car. of Your teeth.

All decay of the teeth begins from
without. Consequently if the teeth's
surfaces be kept scrupulously clean
they cannot decay. Let the child early
acquire the habit of using small
toothbrush dipped into chalk favored
with some aromatic drug, and let il I'M
derstand that the places most needing
the brush are those between the teeth.
That is the place where decay almost
invariably appears. Mucous secretions
and secretions of food are always found
between the teeth after a meal. They
may be removed with toothpiek. It
is almost an art to use a toothpiok.
One must beware of injuring the fleshy
parts and leaving splinters, which 10
some cases may cause the loss Of a
tooth. Metal toothpicks should be al.
together avoided. Those OF dull and

The Outlook

The Montgomery Journal takes an
optimistic view Of the political out
look from a democratic standpoint
believing that the country at large
would welcome a change in the ad-

say along these lines:
Congressman are already gathering
IN Washington preparatory TO the
opening Of congress. There is every
inclination that the remainder Of the
present session will be one Of the
liveliest and fraught with more inter
EST 10 the country than any held in
the last twenty years.

tiers 10 be discussed, in which the
country feels a vital interest. and
there is such a wide difference OF
Orinion among the dominant party as

we shall see the next congress con-
trOlled by the democrats and not the
republicans, and this is something 0'e-
cevoUtly 10 be wished. The country
Is ripe for a change, not only in the
complexion Of congress but in a
change Of the chief executive The
outlook is most encouraging for a
democratic victory in the congressiOn-
az election in 1906. and in the preSi-
Dental election in 1908. Coming
