The Two Kinds of Goitre.

4 man or woman may have a goitre
so large that its weight is several
pounds, yet experience no particularly
serious effects. other than the discom-
fort of the swelling and the appear
ance of the tumor.
And another patient will suffer
the most serious departure from
health, become a helpless invalid
from a goitre which no one but the
doctor can detect.
The first form, so obvious yet so
harmless, is simple goitre. 1t is n
cystic overgrowth of the thyroid
gland without any increase in the
function of the gland.
The OVer-Active Gland.
The second form, which causes
no noticeable local enlargement in
the neck in many cases, but does
cause the severest nervous and cir
culatory trouble, is called "exoph-
thalmic goitre''-the adjective mean
ing prominent eyes. In this form
of goitre the thyroid gland is ex-
cessivelv active, throwing into the
circulation an undue quantity of its
internal secretion, which overstimu-
lates the nervous and circulatory
organs.
The few symptoms caused by simple
goitre, such as hoarseness. stertorOus
or noisy breathing. are entirely due
to the pressure of the large tumor on
windpipe and larynX. The many, and
oft-times misinterpreted symptoms of
exophthalmic goitre are wholly due to
the abnormal functional activity of
the gland.
The Characteristic symptoms OF an
exophthalmic goitre. which appears in
younger people. and most frequently
in young women. are: % prominence
OF the eyes. giving the patient
staring or frightened appearance; (2)
rapid pulse. with frequent severe at
tacks OF palpitaTTon. and more or less
permanent eXcitability Of the heart;
90 n fine tremor OF the hands. best
noted by having the patient hold the
hands out straight and stretch the
fingers apart: and "a in some cases
a visible fullness or swelling at the
root OF the neck above the breast
bone. which probably expresses itself
I'm tightness OF the neckbands.
Remedial Measures.
Operation IS the surest treatment
for either form Of goitre. though by
no means the only successful treat
ment Some simple Goitres respond TO
various local and internal remedies.

PARIS. Feb 7-Defenders of the tango are planning rally in Paris to return the fire of adjectiVes with which they have been denounced.

 LONDON, Feb. 7.-The next gen e-al election will see the retirement from parliament of at least d dozen men of the "old guard" who have spent the best part of the last quarter of a century there and who have not taken kinGl- to the new order of things at Westminster. The most notable retirement is that of Joseph Chamberlain. but as he was known only by name to the majority of the present house of commons, he will not be missed as much as will some of the other old-time!s who vice. With Mr Chamberlain retires Jesse Ceilings. member for Bordes ley division of Birmingham. probably the most devout disciple the great protagonist of tariff reform had. Only on one occasion during his B Eeals in the house of commons did MT. Ceilings really attain fame and that was when he moved an amend ment to the address in reply to the speech from the throne calling at tention to the condition of the farm ldDOiefS, dnu ille carrying CT Nllcn caused the resignation of the first Salisbury government From that day Mr. Ceilings made the condition of the farm Iaboret his one care, and although he was not the real in Nentor of the phrase, Three acres ana a coW' he became the sole pat cntee and proprietor. His old cry that the farm laborer should have enough land and d coW'' to eke out his miserable wage has now become the settled policy of both political parties.
 MT Ceilings came of humble ori- sin, and it was the hard experience of his early life that filled him with enthusiasm for the farm labOrers' cause. Outside of this he was satis- fled to act and vote as AIr Cham berlain should decide He followed i Jim on the home rule and fiscal questions and in fact it is doubtful l whether he could say, as did Austen l Chamberlain, that once he had voted aga inst Joseph Chamberlain

At present the O'Brienites hold not only the two seats of the city of Cork, but the whole of the seven seats of the county of Cork. with the exception of one division Even though he thought there was q chance of winning one of the seats it is doubtful if MT. Redmond leader of the nationalist party. would take ur the challenge thrown down by MT. O'Brien. It is the policy of the nationalist leader to keep in tho background as much as possible any differences between the two wings of the party. and an election in Cork City would have just the opposite effect. If he should decide to fight Mir. Roche, who was the cause of the challenge. would doubtless be the nationalist candidate

The result of the stand taken by the church has been viewed SC seriously by the dancing masters as unwarranted interference that test suits for damages against some of the clergy are pending and ii successful they doubtless would be followed by many such cases.
 The stand which the academy is taking in defense of the present craze win be amusing to those of good memory who recall that three years ago this same organization set it's stamp of disapproEal on the whole lot of imported dances by characterizing them as "epileptic evolutions hostile to society But times have changed and the dancing master who doesn't tango has no place in Paris today.
