NEW VOfftC ALUM AND NERVOUS DISEASES. tamptltlon l"M> nt the Drue In Food CtMet M»oy Illnesses. The frequent cases of nervous pros tration or utter collapse of the nervous system under which women “go all tr. pieces," as the saying is, have caused much thought and investigation on the part of physicians. Certain inorganic1 substances are well known to cause va rious forms of nervous diseases which are readily traced to the poisons pro ducing them. Further research leads to the belief that alum is a prevailing cause of so-called nervous prostration, for the symptoms it produces on the nervous system after its absorption Into the blood are very remarkable In deed. Experiments physiologically made upon animals by Orflla, Profes sors Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and oth ers show that alum frequently pro duces no visible symptoms for many days after its introduction into the body. Then follow loss of appetite and other alimentary disturbances, and finally a serious prostration of the whole nervous system. The most prom inent physicians now believe that "nervous prostration" and many affec tions of the nerve from which both men and women suffer are caused by the continued absorption of alum intc the system. It is probable that many medical men are unaware of the extent to which salts of alumina may be in troduced into the body, being undei the impression that the use of alum in bread is prohibit <»d. Alum, however, is still used surreptitiously to some ex tent to whiten bread and very largely In making cheap kinds of baking pow der. In families where baking powdei is generally used great eare should be exerclsed to procure only those brand made from cream of tartar. The alum powders may generally be distin guished by the lower price at which they are sold.

The Lancet: A long series of expert* meats has recentlv been made by Prof. H. Griesbacb, of Basle, up6n the rela tive acuteness of tbe senses of hear ing, touch, taste and smell in the case of the blind and those who possess normal vision. The results are con tained in Pfluger’a Archiv. The obser vations were made on those who were otherwise healthy. In the differentia tion of tactile impressions no remark able differences were observed between the seeing and the blind, or if small differences did exist they were in favor of the seeing. In those born blind the tactile sharpness was somewhat less than in the seeing, and in some cases the 8ensorium generally was equally defective: The blind in particular feel less acutely with the tip of the index finger than do those who see, and in many cases the tactile acuteness of the two index finger tips differs. In the blind, especially in the region of the hand, a stronger impression is re quired to produce a tactile impression than in those possessed of sight. In the capability of localizing impressions of sound no difference exists between the blind and the seeing. In both great individual variations occur. As a rule, both in the seeing and the blind the use of the organ of both sides gives better results than the use of one alone. No difference in the acuteness of hearing exists between the blind and those who see. No relation was observed between the acuteness of hearing and the power of localizing sounds in either the seeing or the blind. No difference was observed in the two classes in regard to the acute ness of smell. In the execution of manual labor the blind become fa tigued sooner than do tnose or equal age who see. The blind are more fa tigued with manual than with mental work, which Is not the case with the Melng of the same age. If any differ ence exists in regard to exhaustion af ter mental labor it is in favor of those of the same age who see. Both among the blind and the seeing there are persons who have many, others who have only a few, and others again who have no illusory or erroneous impres sions of touch. These results are in many respects opposed to generally re ceived opinions, for it is usually sup posed that deprivation of sight lea^ to exaltation of the acutpngj^ oiTthe other Renses,„ja^^ttuy of“ the touch TACK IN HI9 LUNO. fw Sevan Years It Bad Been There Until He Coughed It Up. A boy 17 years old, a driver by occu pation, writes Dr. Andrew V. Jova of Newburg and complained of having had a sevefe cough with expectoration for seven years. Last April he said that the cough had been worse for three weeks; he was unable to eat and felt weak. He had a slight hemorr hage a few days before. The tongue wag thickly coated. Expectoration was profuse and fetid. Respiration, 44; temperature, 104 degrees Fahrenheit; pulse, 146. Physical examination of the chest showed, on the left side, percussion normal; there was an exaggerated respiratory murmur over the entire lung, with slight rough ness. On the upper side percussion was normal. The respiratory mur mur was slightly bronchial. In the lower part, especially over the back and side, percussion was dull, and there was almost complete absence of the respiratory murmur. Two or three nignta later lie coughed up a tack seven-eighths of an inch long, well preserved except that it was covered with ruRt and thick, dark mucus. On the following morning the respiration was 80; pulse, 100, and temperature, 102 degrees Fahrenheit. From over the lower part of the lung came a gurgling sound and over a circum scribed space about two inches in di ameter cavernous breathing. Three days later the respiration, pulse and temperature were normal. The patient j rapidly recovered and soon was able i to resume his occupation, but he still ! coughs a little, and there is some dull ; ness over the lower part of the lung. 1 with broncho-vesicular breathing. His mother says that seven years ago, when he -was 10 years old, he swal lowed a tael; while playing. He had experienced a slight choking sensation at the time, but it soon passed away. He had coughed ever since, however, ab> consulted several physicians, 'Who ridiculed the idea of the tack and - Mid her the boy had bronchitis.—New >.*♦** ’'World. i fS ■ < i . *ri.".mni7i ir.T iu.iur j $ y of tiv' E/roo • ' • • ' m :y-faur wMeb* ,ii»sWMd»W<il><swat - I , meMfer W6<hft«, 4» the state of Wash < ithgawrf, mvmm WfMMW Caseadt range i : ww iw.eeuti*' the »<•«&<; of i t%: Withos! wam- i A 9jy itAihr or >Um mm, !« ** M jamrt JteSi km: \ i i*" fftW vM*** ■■*>*» ***m M Wrbef'wp** K4W&P**#''< oh hue :hf i a sttAW* 'o labeled “Theodore ttooefeu ’(Mil i>« mod advertisement for Uic barher il^ej. ts a matter of fact ihav goyeiinie j.»bOir w not patronise apy... of Ui«.ejs>op'|,.j ^ : seta shaved In the 'private room j ,Uil^ u s executive chamber. j , Ewing, Feb. 27.—Mr. Editor: The action of the board of sup ervisors in awarding the printing of the proceedings of the board to The Frontier seems to have disturbed the minds of the men who Ihink they own and control the popnlist party of Ewing precinct. They seem to be very indignant at the action of W. W. Bethea, supervisor of the Fourth district, and decided to call a meeting to express their indignation and expel him from the party. Parti cular pains were taken to have only those present who blindly fol low the dictation of the O'Neill ring, but unfortunately for them their plan leaked out and when the time for the meeting arrived the rank and file of the party were present. Also, Mr. Bethea, whose presence was something they were not expecting and which neces sitated a little change in their program. After a private confer ence the meeting was called to order and the healers proceeded to show forth their wrath and indignation at a populist official who would dare to assert his own manhood and cast a vote on a business proposition that concerns the interest of all the taxpayers without asking their advice, and censuring him for even speaking to a re publican. After talking long and loud they condescended to ask Mr. Bethea if he had anything to say, thinking no doubt they were conferring a great favor on him by allowing him to speak in his own defense Mr. Bethea then took the floor and for about fifteen minutes exposed some of the workings of the populist ring. Among otherthings he told them they were the heelers and strikers of the worst gang of political theives and robbers that ever infested Holt county. Among other things he told them that the newspaper trust controled by one, Eves, in O’Neill, had charged the taxpayers of Holt county the sum of $285 for the same work that was after wards done in Omaha for $49. Mr. Bother s remarks paralyzed the gang and the resolutions they had intended offering are in the in side pocket of ong gf jtheir number. At that time another^ set . of - resolutions, which we append below, were offered and adopted at the ratio-of 10 to 1. The honest farmer and business men on one side aod the gang on the other. The meeting then adjourned, the result of the same being satisfactory to all eho love Justice. j RESOLUTIONS j i ) ! i i Whereas, certain persons representing themselves Ur be popu lists, have taken particular pains to circulate stories and rumors bringing into question the honesty and integrity of W. W. Bethea, supervisor of the Fourth district, Holt county,censuring his actions as such supervisor in voting for the proceedings of the board ot supervisors to be published in The Frontier, a republican paper,- as well as in two populist newspapers, therefore be it resolved, tb«t we, the populist of the Fourth supervisor district, in meeting assem bled, do hereby exonerate the saidW.W. Bethea from all such frivo lous and foolish charges and do also justify his fearless actions in voting for the publishing of said board proceedings so that all classes of voters regardless of politics might be given an equal opportunity of informing themselves as to the business of th» county. And be it further,resolved that we have the utmost con fidence in the said W. W. Bethea, both as an official and a citizen, and also in the members of said county board who, as populists, voted for such a method of publishing the proceedings of the board, thereby demonstrating to the voters of Holt county that they were in fact as well as in name men who represented their constituents, and not a gang, clique, or combination who are doing business solely for the purpose of robbing the county of Holt mid the citizens of Holt county. i i i 1 | ! is » 1 Cow* ^^VlM 'WfAf UiMMM* 0*ttl« with spectacles are to be #sen >n the Russian steppes.

Prof. McAdie says that before long science will succeed in measuring Hi* energy of a lightning flash, and also In ! demonstrating the nature of the au rora. That the aurora is an electrical phenomenon has long been recognized An intimate relation seems to exist be tween the aurora and sun spots. In 1882 the astronomer at Greenwich sent out notification of the appearance of an enormous sun spot on Not. 17 of that year. For three hours on the morning of that day not a wire of the Western Union Telegraph company could be used, and not even the mar ket quotations could be distributed. At n'ght there was a brilliant auroral display and all telegraph service was again interrupted. Cables to Europe and wires to Chicago were alike un workable;. but some messages were sent as far as 700 miles by cutting off the batteries and utilizing the atmos pheric electricity. Over half of North America, across the Atlantic and over northern Europe it seemed as if le gions of ethereal demons were busy inciting electric and magnetic appara tus to strange and mischievous antics. The artificial production of an electric fire-ball by Prof. Richmann is unique, though electricity in this form is not unfamiliar. Sometimes such balls are seen to run along the surface of the sea, and when they appear on land they usually burst with a loud noise, often with disastrous effects. Nobody has yet been able to explain these balls, which appear to be a very con centrated form of electricity. When the experts say, as most of them do, that electricity is merely a form of mo tion, the explanation is more or less unsatisfactory, but how is one to ac count for the presentation of a form of a motion in the shape of a luminous sphere?—Boston Transcript. IS A THING OF THE PAST. IiOnr-Horned Steer Took Too Much Spaeo and Hold Too Decided Opinion*. Ten years from now the visitors at the stock yards in Chicago will look at the massive horns nearly six feet from tip to tip that hang over the doorways of offices and hardly be able to believe that they were taken from the head of a "beef critter” on the Texas ranges, and that hundreds of thousands of cattle with such horns once ran half wild on the ranches and plains of the Lone Star state. For the passing of the long-horned, long* legged, uncertain colored and still more uncertain tempered -Texas steer is a thing of today, and in his place one finds a stockily built, red or roan iz> mal, with short, stubby horns, or no horns at all. The Texas steer of to day is not properly descended from the Texas cattle of the past. He has sim ply supplanted the others on the ranges, and the former animal has either migrated farther south or has gone out into space and is no more. The Improvement—as it most certainly is—has been brought about in many ways. The first great change came when the cattle man decided that car space that could be filled up by good, salable beef, was more profitable than that taken up by the picturesque horns of the Texas steer, and began to dehorn the yearlings and young steers. More could be gotten into a car, as they could stand closer together. It was but a step to then begin to improve the quality by crossing the cows with fine bred bulls, Durham, Hereford and Angus, and the Texas steer of 1900 will compare very favorably with the cat tle in Missouri. He has taken on weight, and will average 100 to 150 pounds heavier than in former days. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

In the very In teresting resume of his life which Mrs. Annie Fields has just contributed to the Beacon Biography series, there are several pictures of young Haw thorne’s life in Bowdoln College which show that the first great American novelist was not guilty of airing an un comfortable superiority of tastes or demeanor. Once, unwilling to wait for -.the appointed college vacation,he wrote to his sister Louisa: “It is expedient gor me to return to Salem imrhediate fy.” and proceeds to give his reasons. Sample country college though Bow iWtai was at the time Hawthorne at tended it, the studsnts now and then permitted themselves amusements such as “gaming," which scandalized the faculty. Young Hawthorne was one of the culprits, and the president of the college wrote to his mother to ask her co-operation in the attempt to in duce your son faithfully to observe the laws of this institution. The presi dent added, apparently for the sake of sparing the mother’s feelings: "Per haps be might not have gamed were it not for the Influence of a student we have dismissed from the college.” Young Hawthorne, having seen this letter, assures his mother in indigna j tie*: "I have a great mind to commence ' playing again, merely to show him that I aooTU to be aeduced by another into jutytiling wrong.” Itu Kind Yau Haw Msa/s Buigjdt ———— has traiy mum legal advertisements.
