Facts Worth Knowing. l
In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be non-
irritatiug. The medical profession has
been slow to learn this. Nothing satisfac-
tory can be accomplished with~ douches,
snufis, powders 0i syringes because they
are all Irritating, do not thoroughly reach
the affected surfaces and should be aban-
doned us worse than failures. A mul-
titude of persons who had for years borne
all the worry and pain that catarrh can
inflict testify to radical cures wrought by
Ely’s Crcum Balm.
Acids Good 'for the Stomach.
A writer on hygiene says that the common
use of soda. to correct acidity in the stomach
is an error. A counter acid is a safer correc~
tive than an alkali. A little lemon or lime
juice, properly used, will remedy the trouble
as often as anything. In some cases a. very
little sugar occasionally, alternated with cold
water, is fdund effective. Sometimes hot
water is the best thing. Sometimes nothing
is as good as external warmth applied over
the stomach. Lemon juice before meals will
be very advantageous as a preventative to
heartburn. Acids, as a. rule, decrease the
acid secretion of the body and increase the
alkaline. When acid is given for the relief
of dyspepsiait should be taken before eating.

Chances of Death in War.
No doubt every reader has seen the state-
ment that it takes a. man‘s weight of lead to
kill him in battle, and they may have consid-
ered it to be merely a. rhetorical hyperbole,
suggested by the fact that comparatively few
out of the whole number of shots fired in
heat of battle take effect. Marshal Saxe, we
believe, first made the assertion which forms
the base of the above, when he said it would
take 125 pounds of lead and 33 pounds of
powder to put each of the enemy in the long
trench. lVild and visionary as this may
seem, it appears that there was more truth
than poetry in the remark. With all the im- ‘
provemcnts which have been made in the art
of war since the days of Saxe, Cassendi, the
French savant, proves that the great mar-
shal’s philosophical remark still holds good.
At the battle of Solfcrino, according to Cas-
sendi’s carefully deduced calculations, a com-
pzirisou of the number of shots fired on the
Austrian side with the number of killed and
wounded on the part of the enemy shows
that 7 00 bullets were expended for edch man
wounded, and 4,200 for each man killed. The
average weight of the ball used was 30 grains,
therefore it must have taken at least 126 5kilo-
grams, or 227 pounds of lead for each man
killed! Yet Solferino was a most important
and bloody battle. In the Franco-Prussian
war the slaughter caused by the needle gun
among the French soldiers shows how much
superior that gun is to the Austrian carbine;
yet with that deadly weapon 1,300 shots
were fired for every soldier destroyed in the
enemy’s ranks. Verily there Was good founda-
tion for Bogert’s ungrammatical remark:
“War is awful, but the noise of warfare is
awfuler.”——St. Louis Republic.
A Diamond Dagger.
There are two tiers of boxesin the Metro-
politan opera house in which the ladies wear
full dress. The lower tier projects further
into the body of the house than the upper, so
that any object falling from the latter might
readily strike a person sitting in the former.
One night a. much—bejeweled woman in one
of the boxes in the second tier chanced to
lean over the rail to gaze at the orchestra
stalls. The movement shook a piece of dia-
mond jewelry from her hair, and it fell
swiftly down into the box beneath. Under
some circumstances the ornament would have
been lost, but it so happened that it found a
sweet and safe resting place. A fresh, big
eyed beauty in the lower box suddenly start-
led her friends by clutching her pretty neck
and exclaiming: “01 I think I’m stabbed!”
Everybody bent solicitously toward her,
demanding what was the matter. She tapped
her chest and gasped: “I felt a. sharp weapon
strike me here.”
Her mother looked keenly at the girl’s
throat, but there was no sign of a. wound. Of
this she strove to assure her child. I
“It is lower down,” whispered the young
woman. .
At that moment a gentleman entered by
the door at the back of the box.
“Pardon my intrusion,” he said, “but my
wife in the box above dropped a jewel from
her hair a moment ago and she said that it
fell in here. Have you seen anything of it?”
The lovely girl who thought herselfstub‘oed
sat upright in her chair and looked a trifle
frightened. Then she (lashed into the back
room, from which she presently returned, her
face wreathed in timid smiles.
“Here is the jewel,” she said, holding forth
a handsome diamond daggerx—New York

About Neuralgia.
As to neuralgia, from which probably as
many persons suffer all its agonies of gun-
shot wounds zis full in battle every ten years,
and which is a settled modern scourge of the
human race, Dr. Gray gives in The Medical
Annual :1 very good summary of the latest
methods of treatment. In twenty-seven
cases of obstinate neuralgia chronic constipa-
tion was regarded as the cause of the disease.
Against this the treatment was principally
directed, in shape ' of moist, warm packs
about the abdomen, massage, rubbing with
cold water and encliiata. This was carried
out continuously from two to six weeks, the
diet being carefully regulated and aided in
some cases by galvanism, massage and nerve
stretching. Out of the twenty-seven cases
fifteen were cured by these means and nine
improved.

Gen; C'fllhk’s Romantic Courtship.
The story of the courtship of Gen. Crook is
romantic. Early in the war Crook. then a.
captain, was stopping at the Queen City
hotel, Cumberland, Md. He was there assist-
ing Gen. Kelly in organizing regiments and
defending the state of West Virginia from
invasion. Gen. Kelly was at the same hotel.
The proprietor of the house was John Daily,
who was also proprietor of Glade’s hotel at
Oakland, Md, a famous resort. Mr. Daily
had two daughters, the eldest'of Whom, Miss
Mary, was a charming and pretty girl. She
had sonthernsympathies, for her mother was
a member of a. notable old Virginia. family
who lived at Moorfield. .
During Crook’s stay at the hotel ho was
much attracted by the young lady, but she
was a spirited girl and refused to be gracious I
to the Yankee, although at heart she liked
him.
The eldest of Boniface Daily’s children was
a son James, who was devoted to the cause
of the Confederacy. He took offense at the
persistent and open attentions of Crook to his
sister, and finally organized a band of about
fifty young and daring spirits like himself
and saw that they were well mounted and
armed. When everything was ready about
a dozen of. Daily’s band crept into the hotel
after midnight, seized Gen. Kelly and Capt.
Crook, gagged them, and in a. few moments
they were all on their way to Richmond. The
Federal lines were passed without detection,
and the prisoners were safely landed in the
Confederate capital. Afterward they were
exchanged.
Crook went into active service and: was
badly wounded. He was sent to Oakland
with other wounded officers, and singularly
enough was quartered at Glade’s hotel. Miss
Mary then showed her true feelings, and
nursed her brother’s late captive through
What at one time was thought to be a. fatal
illness. When he recovered he proposed. but
was refused, her political sentiment still being
in the ascendant. Twice after that the con-
queror of Cochcz and Geronimo attacked the
fair fortress, and at last it surrendered. The
general has been happy in his married life.—

0 Fresh Flowers’iii Germany.
It appears that from the beginning of No-
vember, 1888, to the end of May, 1889, cut
flowers to the value of over £142,773 were
sent abroad from Cannes, of which the ma-
jority went to Berlin and other large towns
in Germany. The art of arranging fresh
flowers artistically is said to be most success-
fully practiced by German' lady florists, a.
large number of. whom make a. comfortable I
living by this employment. The trade has
during the last few years been particularly
flourishing, gifts of fresh flowers being very
popular with all classes in Germany. Not
only is every family festivity made the occa-
sion of gifts of flowers, but the custom of be-
stowing bouquets or posies on the parting
guest or friend is greatly increasing. The
rich lady takes her magnificent baskets and
fanciful bouquets into her carriage as she
takes leave of her friends at the station, and
the poor woman curi'ies away her pot of
fuchsia. or mignonette, wrapped in a piece of
pink tissue paper and ornamented with a bit
of ribbon—Pall Mull Gazette.
A New Me had of Treating" Disease.
23' pital Remedies.
What are they? There is a new depar-
ture in the treatment of disease. It cou-
sisls in the collection of the specifics used
by noth specialists of Europe and America,
and bringing them within the reach of all.
For instance the treatment pursued by
special physicians who treat indigestion,
stomach and liver troubles only, was ob-
.tained and prepared. The treatment of
other physicians, celebrated for curing
caturrh was procured, and so on fill these
incomparable cures now include diseases
of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness,
rheumatism and nervous dchilily.
This new method of “one remedy for
one disease” must appeal to the common
sense of all snfl’ercrs, many of whom have
experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly
realize the absurdity of the claims of Pat-
ent Medicines which are guaranteed to
cure cvcry ill out of a single bottle, and the
use of which, as statistics prove, has ruin-
cd more stomachs than alcohol. A cir-
culur describing these new remedies is
sent free on receipt of stamp to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company,
Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors. Re-
liublc zigi-uts wanted.

'1 ‘ AN ENIGMA; ‘
Kind and cruel is her play,
Fierce and gentle both is she,
Pickle as the winds astray,
Constant as the heavens be;
Her caprices without number
Every shape and color take. I
Sometimes joyous, sometimes somber,
Smiles and tears together wake.‘
Child she is, and woman, too:
Fought more mild or harsh can be.
What! you think I speak of you?
Hay! I‘m talking of the sea.
Now ‘tls troubled, now ’tis calm;
Now it soothes like 'song of birds— .
' Often angry, then like balm,
Lispiiig sweet and loving words.
Devil ”Us and angel bright,
Now inviting, now repelling,
Its fair face and blue eyes light
Woo men down to death’s cold dwelling;
Naught more mild or harsh can bc.
Wound it gives, but healing, too;
What! you think I mean the sea?
Dearest, nay! I speak of you: =

Around the \Vorld in Sixty-nine Days;
A copy of The London Times was. sent
around the world, three years ago, through
Canadian Pacific bonnections, in less than
sixty-nine days. This occurred without pre
arrangement, and a similar trip. could be
made today in much shorter time. The-Mar-~
quis of Huntley, while in Japan, received a.
copy of The Times via. Suez, on the; day a.
Canadian Pacific steamer was sailing for Van»
couver, and it occurred to him to try the ex-
periment.
He forwarded the paper by mail to The.
Times with the result of‘ its reaching the
office the sixty-ninth day following its date
of issue. This time, however,. can soon be
reduced to fifty-eight days, for-the fast steam-
ships of the Canadian Pacific, new building,
will soon bepl‘owmg the serene waters con»
iiecting Vancouver" with- Hong Kong. The-
trip from London to this British port in the
Orient can then be easily accomplished in
twenty-eight days, and the average time of
the Peninsular and Oriental steamers between
Hong Kong and London, via Suez and Brin-
disi, is but thirty days—Walter P. Phillips

The Angry Tree. 7
There is a. species of acacia which is com-
monl y called the angry tree. It reaches the
height of eighty feet after a rapid growth,
and somewhat resembles the century plant.
One of these curious plants was brought from
Australia and set out at Virginia, Nev.,
where it has been seen by many persons.
When the sun sets the leaves fold up and the
tender twigs coil tightly, like alittle pig’s
lull. If the shoots are handled the leaves
rustle and move uneasily for a time. If this
queer plant is removed from one pot to an-
otbcr it seems angry, and the leaves stand
out in all directions like quills on a porcu-
pine. A most pungent and sickening; odor,
said to resemble that given off by rattle-
snakes when annoyed, fills the air, and it is
only after an hour or so that the leaves fold
in the natural way—Chicago Mail.
A Boy's Essay on Breathing.
A Kentucky school boy, of 12 years,recent~
1y wrote the following essay on'breathing:
"W'e breathe with our lungs, our lights, our
kidneys and ,our livers. If it wasn’t for our
breath we would (lie whui we slept. Our
breath keeps the life agoing through the nose
when we are asleep. Boys, who stay in a.
room all day should not breathe. They
should wait until they get out in the fresh
air. Boys in a room make bad air called
carbonicide. Carbonicide is as poison as mad
A lot of soldiers were once in a black
dogs. ..
l hole in Calcutta and cai‘bonicide got in there
I and killed them. Girls sometimes ruin the
l breath with corsets that squeeze the diagram.
A big diagram is best for the right kind of
breathing.”
Sutmi as a’ Gentleman.
A friend who has great faith in the cate-
chism, and teaches it with a pertinacity which
would challenge the admiration of Calvin
himself, is also very particular in instructing
his children to Speak politely on all occasions.
The result of his teachings is sometimes amus-
ing. This was the case one day when he was
putting the youngest of four through his preo
paratory course The question was asked,
”Who tempted Eve?" ‘
The little fellow, after a moment’s thought,
with an air of confidence replied: “It’s the
gentleman who lives in hell; I’ve forgotten
his namo.”—Lewiston Journal.
The Horseslioe’s Powers as a Mascot.
Among tlie'odds and ends of a. somewhat
famous junk shop under Essex market- build
ing are some thousands of horseshoes. The
are not sold, however, to either blacksmith
or iron founders, but are bought eegerly a
ten cents apiece by East sider's,‘who still have
faith in the horseshoe’s powers as a mascot.
A great many East side shopkeepers hav
horseshoes snugly hid away in their money
drawers. Many a cheap apartment in th
