A BRUISED CHEST.

Are you inviting disease? >

And are you'preparing to make it comfortable when it comes?

It is well enough to make your friends happy and comfor-
table, but why treat your worst enemies—~the germs of dis-
ease --in this way ? " .

' You are certainly issuing a very tempting invitation to con-
sumption when you neglect your cough.

Every cough is as a rough file, tearing and destroying the
delicate membranes of the throat and lungs.

The “soreness in the chest ” is the same as the soreness
from a bruise. Do not neglect these bruises of the lungs.

If you are very strong and well you may escape; but if there
is any family history of weak lungs, or of consumption, and if _
your general health is not quite up to the average—
Look out! There is danger ahead.

And perhaps not so far ahead as you think!

changes these things entirely. There is a sharp turn for the
better. The outlook is brighter. .

It heals those inflamed and congested tissues. The lungs
are fed and strengthened. The soreness is removed, and the
disease is checked before serious damage is done.

‘ SEVERE STORM.
Torrents of—ligrand a Plenty
of Lightning and Thunder.

A Hole Tom in an East Norwalk House
by the Electric Fluid.

Another one of those storms that
usually follow in the wake of a hot
wave visited N orwalk at an early hour
Thursday morning. The rain fell in tor-
rents deluging cel.ars and sewers, and
the lightning cut up capers in differ-
ent sections of the town, but did com-
paratively little damage.

Cellars that received a sort of deluge
were located on Mechanic, Chestnut,
South Main, Water and other streets
in South Norwalk.

The sewers were found inadequate
ito carry off the water and it washed
quantities of sand upon the walks and
over the electric railway tracks to a
depth that materially hampered the
progress of the cars. This was especial-
ly true on the Tramway line, the con-
ductors of which early this morning,
were armed with hoes to rid the track,
at certain points, of its burden of sand.

Lightning struck the Mrs. Margaret
Voorhees house on Betts place, East
N orwalk, and tore a large hole in the
roof of the house, through which the
rain poured down and did considerable

of his family escaped injury.

It is reported that the electric fluid
also found its way into theipolice head-
quarters at South N orwalk, which is
being wired for incondescent lights and
did more or less damage.

Lightning struck a barn belonging
to Hezekiah Fillow at Rowayton and
did damage to an amount not in excess
of fifty dollars which was fully covered
by insurance in the O. E. Wilson
agency. _

It also paid its respects to the Nor
walk and South Norwalk Electric Light
station and after dancing around on
the wires, burned out a meter and then
left the building.

DIPTHEEILGERMS.

Bacteria Found in Patienl’s
Throat at County
Home.

The Boy Had Been Apparently Well For a
Week.

The Children’s Home, on the West-
port road, has been under quarantine
for} some weeks owing to two of the
children having been attacked by dip-
theria. .;»

The last case, that of a boy, had been
considered conquered and the patient
had been up and around for a week ap-
iparently as well as ever.

As the youngster was apparently
well did not require the attendance of
a physician, the County Commissioners
made application to Health Otiicer, Dr.
Tracey, to have the Home fumigated
and the quarantine lifted.

‘ Dr. Tracey suggested, however, that
before this was done a “culture” from
the child’s throat be sent to a bacteriol-
ogist for examination and report.

The Commissioners acquiesed, and
on Saturday last a “culture” was taken
and forwarded to Dr. Lynch, the bac
teriologist of the Bridgeport health de-
partment.

Thursday morningDr.Tracey received
word from Dr. Lynch that the diph-
theria bacteria was still alive in the
patient’s throat and to quarantine the

 

lad for another week.
Dr. Lynch’s orders have been com-

plied with, and on Saturday next an-

other “culture” will be sent him, when
if the germs are dead the boy will be
released and the Home fumigated and
the quarantine lifted.

Put Him Up.

There is’no’t probably the least doubt
of the renomination of Congressman
Hill by the Republicans. He has, in
the distribution of Federal patrozage,
made some active enemies in his own
party, but every Congressman undoubt-
edly does so and the number is not
usually large enough to alone prevent
a renomination, though it may some-
times prevent a re-election. Mr. Hill
has “played his cards” very skilfully
throughout his term, keeping in con—
stant view the desirability of a renom-
ination. The identity of his Democratic
competitor is as yet unknown. Names
have been mentioned, but not in such
a way as to indicate any certainty of
nomination. Probably tax-Congressman
DeForest, if he could be induced to ac-
cept, would “make it very interesting”
for Mr. Hill.——Bridgeport Farmer.

 

“Little Boston” will be the scene of
a Rhode Island clam-bake next Sun-
day given under the supervision of Col.
H. A. Saunders. The place is located
at Winnipauk and the "Col.” promises
a feast for all who are lucky enough to
secure a. ticket. The bake will be
served from 2 to 5 o’clock p. m., and
any one who inclines to the belief that
he has not received more than his-
money’s worth will be presented with
a freshly. minted silver. dollar.

 

 

LONG FINGER NAILS.

lndlcate Rank and Good Breeding In
Many Oriental Countries.

The countries where the long finger
nail is most affected are Siam, Assam,
Cochin China and China. The approv-
ed length varies from three or four
to twenty-three indies. A Siamese
exquisite permits the nails on his fin-
gers to grow to such an extent that
his hands are practically useless. The
aristocrats who affect these nails can-
not write, dress themselves or even
feed themselves.

The‘Siamesehold the long finger nail
in the same reverence we hold the
family tree. Many of them never have
had their nails cut from the day of
their birth. On the first-fingerrthe nail
is of moderate length—three or four
inches-while on the other fingers the
nails grow occasionally to two feet.
The-thumb nail. which is also allowed
togrow long, after reaching a certain
length curves around like a cork-
screw.

In both China and Siam the owners
of long nails wear metal cases over
them to preserve them. made of gold
or silver, and jeweled. While long
nails are not regarded as singular in
China, they are rarely met with except
on fanatics and pedantic scholars.

Among the fakirs in Hindoostan, a.
peculiar custom is that of holding the
hand tightly clinched and in One po-
sition so long that at last the nails
grow through the palm, emerging at
the back of the hand and growing
thence almost to the wrist. When the
wasted muscles refuse to support the
arm any longer it is bound in position
with cords.

In Nubia the long naisl is regarded as
indicative of good breeding. The aris-
tocrats constantly subject their finger
tips to cedar wood fire to insure a good
growth.

The inhabitants of the Marquesa Isl-'
ands are among the most expert tat-
tooers on earth, and not even the
crown of the head, the fingers and the
toes are exempt from the needle. The
hands are ornamented with utmost
care, all the fingers having their own
pattern, 30- the hand would look as
though incased in a tightsfittingglove
were it not for the ‘fipger ' nails of
enormous length,~ which complete the
hand adornment of the wealthier'nw
fives—Chicago News.

Dewey Got Even with Farragut.
When Dewey was first lieutenant of
one of the gunboats which Farragut
used as n dispatch'boat the admiral
used often to come aboard and steam
up nai- the levee to reconnoitre. The
Southerners had a way of rushing 3
field piece to the top of the high ham
firlng point blank at the gunboat and
then backing down again. Upon one
such occasion Farragut law Dewey,
dodge. “Why don't you stand firm,
lieutenant?" said he: “don’t you know
you can’t jump quick enough?" A‘
day or so after the admiral dodged a
shot. The lieutenant smiled and held
his tongue, but the admiral had a
guilty conscience. He cleared hll
throat once or twice. shifted his atti-
tude and finally declared: “Whu, sir,
you can’t help it. sir. It’s human na-
ture. and there’s an end of ltl"—-Ar-
