Eastern Views of Western Matters.
Dakota Boll Man : The Now Enplane
Farm Monitor and Daily Guido think' !
that it has found a new source of woo'
supply. It feayB : "It would aoom as if i
rival of the ehcopas a wool-producer hai
arisen. The heretofore worthies !
we.storn jack-rabbit is being sheared ii
some quarters , and is said to produce
an article of wool equal to lamb's woo
and oven liner. "
Our eastern friend should not got toe
sanguine. There is no need to go'
frightened and go to selling off youi
sheep for mutton. If the editor of the
Farm Monitor should over go out on th (
prairie and see a jack-rabbit while i'
is walking slow , but nevertheless
presenting tlio optical illusion of i
gray streak two miles and a half long
wo would paobnbly think that it was al
right and that the doom of the shooj
was scaled. And it would bo if hocoult
fahear the streak. Tlio day ho walketl
along down one side of a streak of jack
rabbit for two miles and a half shearinf
an article of wool equal to lamb's woo
and oven flnor , and then mowed his wa ;
back the other side , would bo very coo
for tlio whoop.
But ho can't do it , you see. Ho can'
oven catch the rabbit nnd shear that. I
our dignified and scholarly 'Now Eng
land editor could got astride' iv quid
and active piece of chain lightning am
spur it up lively ho might possibly over
take a jack rabbit and shear it as hi
rode. alongside of it for a couple of hundred
drod miles. This seems hardly prac
tieablo , however , and it looks as if wi
would have to worry along with ordi
nary Y'ool for a while yet.
There is another point this able grow
ing crops and blooded cow journalist i
fcoino what mixed up on , and that is th
subject of hay llres. lie feays Hint ' 'ha ,
as used in many parts of the prairi
regions of the west makes an oxcollon
fuel and a very fair substitute for con
or wood. "
Ho didn't write this in the winter b ,
the warmth of a hny lire , though ; other
wise when ho got through the ink 01
both pen and paper would have beei
fro/.en , and when lie lifted > tp the pci
tlio paragraph would have peeled oil th
paper and come up , too , an unrocognb
ble tauglolike molas&e.- , poured aroun
on u buckwlieat cake. When ho hm
turned his hay Horn over und looked n
it and observed Unit it resembled u coi
of wire olT u broom ho would have lui
it carefully libido nud got up and gen
twisting moro hay.
A man who is twisting'hay for a ha
flro never stops to write anything
Somntimi's hu has boon known to sto
and hastily dictate his last will and tci
lament when ho foil ho could not hoi

Horns about the beauty of hay 11 res ur

for it while all the warmlh ho gets i
from the exercise and has to hold hi
mouth open to keep his tooth from free ;
ing togolhor never thinks of bay In
much in favor of anything.
Mr. Jngornoll could hardly nppronc
a man and attempt to convince him tin
the old and well-known idea of fulur
punishment is all wrong under more ui
favorable circumstances.
The trouble with running this style <
flro is that the stove has such an astoi
Uhing appctllo for hay. The stomuc
of Iho hay slovo is alwayb empty.
Josliih Gniston is the pride of Boltoi
Texas , because ho is 100 years old , luu

Philadelphia Record ; Custom has
long prompted the farmer to feed his
carbo-hydrates ( fat-forming foods ) , corn
being the principal' substance used , it
being supposed that heavy weights
could not bo obtained without excessive
fat , but now light has bcon thrown on
the system In the recent experiments
by Prof. Henry , of tlio Wisconsin ex
periment station , given in the Farm and
Homo , which is very valuable to every
farmer in the country. Ho fouml that
by feeding to obtain the largest pro
portion of lean meat not only the health
of the animals was promoted but greater
weight was obtained. Ho selected six
pigs , and began with them when they
wore ono hundred days old. Up to the
beginning of the trial the pigs had all
been fed alike , from the same trough ,
with a mixture composed of shorts ,
corn meal , buttermilk and skim milk ,
the pigs having boon cross-bred Jersey
reds and Poland-Chinas. The pigs
were divided into lots , of three each.
Tlio first ( lot A ) was fed n. ration
compobod of six parts dried blood , six
parts of shorts and fourteen parts of
skim milk , by weight , while the second
lot (13) ( ) wore fed all the corn meal they
could consume. They had small baelc
yards for exorcise , and were fed for 1150
days. Lot A consumed in the 130 days
3H02 pounds of skim milk , 1415 pounds of
shorts and U.'t6 pounds of dried blood ,
while lot 11 consumed 1090 pounds of
corn meal. Of the actual digestible
matter of the food that of lot A con
tained 428 pounds of musclemaking food
( protein ( and 8IW pounds of fat-produc
ing food ( carbo-hydrates ) , and that of
lot B contained 168- pounds of musclo-
producing food nnd 1193 pounds of fat-
forming food. The weights and rela
tive proportions of loan and fat on the
oarcabscs of each lot were : Live weight
of lot A , CGOt pounds ; dressed weight ,
542J pounds ; external fat , 150 pounds ;
lean meat , 244 pounds ; live weight of
lot B , 5011 pounds ! dressed weight , 451
pounds ; external fat , 150 pounds , and
lean moat , 178J pounds. The
hogs fed for lean meats were
1 ! ) per cent heavier when alive ,
the carcasses when dressed were 21 per
cent heavier , the bones 23 per cent
heavier , the tenderloin muscles 38 per
cent heavier and the blood 58 per cent
heavier. Of all the meat that could bo
cut from the carcasses of lot A only 38
'
per cent wns fat , while the fat from' lot
B was sO per cent. Tlio professor 1ms
demonstrated that by u judicious system
of feeding hogs can bo mace to contain
a larger proportion of loan meat and
weigh more in the same period of time
than hogs fed exclusively for fat , but ho
Tails to give the proportionate cost of
the food , which is the most imjxn'Umt
item. The question with farmers is
whether a lean moated hog can bo pro
duced with as little cost as ono contain
ing more fat and of the same weight.
Dried blood cannot bo easily obtained
on.somo farms at a low cost , being a
staple product , will bo given the pref
erence. Tlio experiments , however , arc
some of the mobt valuable over conduct
ed , and will at some future time work i\ \
revolution in the present system ol
swjne feeding.
Forest Tree Seeds.
Western Farmer : Many of those whc
attempt to raise forest trees from tin
seed moat with disappointment from nol
preserving the seeds properly , or from
not knowing thntsomo trees ripen theii
seed in spring or early in summer , anc !
that these must bo sown as soon as ripe ,
Success in raising forest trees from seed ;
depends upon having the seeds proporlj
preserved durfng the winter. Thoj
must not bo allowed to got to dry , not
must the moisture and temperature be
such that germination will bo com'
moncod before they are sown , nor should
they bo exposed to such a low tempera
ture that the vitality of the embryo wil
bo impaired. When in doubt how U
best preserve a tree seed mix it will
about twice its bulk of damp sand not
wet sand , but good sharp sand , just as ii
is dug out of a bank. The seed thu-
mixed with sand should bo placed whore
it will bo ut an oven temperature of f
few degrees above freezing , and whore
mice or other vermin may not get at it ,
Nuts of the hard-shelled kindospociallj
should not bo allowed to got dry ; tin
hickories , walnuts and butternuts s'houh
bo placed in heaps of a few bushels , ant
carefully covered with sods from an oh'
pasture , and the turf covered will
several inches of earth. If turf is no
readily procured , cover the heap will
straw , and place on this several inchei
of toil. Those heaps must bo in a dri
place , where water will not accumulate
and in ono where vermin will not dis
turb them. Chestnuts , which are vor ;
apt to got too dry , may bo preserved ii
sand , as mentioned above.
Farmer' * ! Institute.
Rural World : The reason rapidly approaches
preaches in which the agriculturists o
the country will meet together to con
suit with each other and talk over am
discuss questions apportaihing to thoii
general business. Of these the Grangi
and kindred associations will take i
leading part , and will do more to ud <
to their numbers , develop their own in
torcbts and perpetuate tlio existence o
the several bodies to which they belong
long , than liny thing else. The farmer'
institute is another and very dilToron
thing. Generally speaking it is undo
the management of the state board o
agriculture , and affords the professor
of the agricultural college an opportun
ity of mooting the farmers and of talk
ing to them face to face about their the
ones and practices , their experiment
and results , nnd generally bring tin
class-room , the labratory and the experiment
rimont to the farmer , and within speak
ing uibtanco , that all who wish may usl
questions , question results , make point
of of homo experience and discuss matters
tors generally.
The Farmers' institute is u thing o
recent birth , but the most offectiv
means to an end yet reached. Ifafford
all , high and low , learned in the collog
nnd on the farm , an opportunity t
moot on a level and discuss , not enl ,
their experiences , but their ideas ani
impressions , and heroin in the value c
the institute idea , for "as iron sharpen
eth iron , so the countenance of man hi
friend , " nnd after the name fashion i
developed the wit and wisdom of prncti
ail and experimental farming at sue !
meetings as these.
and Suggestions ,
Every farmer will find it to his ad van
tngo to laj in a largo supply of dry uirt'
for winter uso. It should bo kept undo
cover , nnd may bo used in the stalls o
wherever an absorbent will bo required
The Ilubbard squash is a good' white
ceopor , and may bo stored 1'n the barn
or collar , where the tompcrntu.ro does
not fluctuate. It is excellent , both for
lock und for the table.
Gccso lay from fifteen lo forty eggs in
i season , the best breed for laying bo
ng the White China , while for market
ind feathers the Etubdon is considered
luporlor.
All perches and nests in the lion-
IOUFO should bo so Arranged as to bo
easily taken out and saturated with ker
osene oil , which is a sure remedy for
ice.
ice.Clean
Clean up all the dead vines of pota-
oos , pumpkins , etc. , nnd if they bo dry
enough burn them. If partially green
brow them on the manure heap.
Sows that have farrowed can easily
vean off the pigs and got in good condf-
ion to bo fatted for slaughter by Christ-
nas. It is too late in the season to use
horn as breeders , as no more litters
should como in before spring , nnd it
vill not pay to keep the sows over BO
ong. Where a sow is an exceptionally
good mother , however , she should be
otaincd.
In saving the pumpkins store only
hose that are ripe and fully matured.
Should any bo imperfect or partially
ripe only , cook thorn and add ground
grain to the mess. By thus disposing
of the inferior ones now only the host
will bo kept over for winter. The seeds
) f pumpkins should bo removed before
'coding , as they arc injurious.
A sick horse is as unfit to work as is a
lick man , and animals that are kept
loused moat of the time are easily in
ured by exposure to storms. It is not
advisable to blanket hortcB in stables ,
sxcopt for a little while when brought
, n after working nnd when wet either
'rom sweat or rain. The change to n
iiorbo blanketed in the stable when
; akon out in cold or stormy weather
'
makes the animal cspepially'liable to
iJiko cold. In a barn the natural covor-
, ng of hair over a horse is sulllcient.
Animals exposed to the storms and
changes of weather incident to farm
work should not bo clipped.
Seed corn for next year should bo se
lected from thobo&t fetnlks , and only the
choicest ears and grains should bo
chosen. The cars should ho kept
thoroughly dry and hung where they
will not freeze , and a damp place must
DO avoided.
The 'ate sweet corn should bo dried
for wiptor uso. If preferred , however ,
it may bo cooked and scaled in glass air
tight jars. Lima beans will "uso keep
in a green condition if tretiied iu the
same manner.
Pigs must bo cared for in bad
weather , or else you can't expect much
of them. They should have warm , dry
bods.to sloop in ; if you cannot get any
thing better good dry straw will do to
make their beds of , but loaves are much
bettor. Sleeping in straw , osoecially
if the straw bo wet , will give them the
mango.
Farmers not crowded by their neces
sities should slack up on market crops
when it don't pay to grow them , seed
with clover and plow it in to make the
land more productive when it does pay.
Many farmers would profit in the long
run by plowing and cultivating their
foul fields several t times during the
season without raising a crop. The prac-
tieo of sowing "wheat after wheat ,
grain crop after grain crop , " without
seeding to grass , has helped materially
to overload the market , impoverishing
farmers and their land , too.
Give the hens a variety of food.
Throw them a lock of early cut hay oc
casionally. They &oom to prefer June
grass or red-top.
When the comb of a fowl is largo and
bright colored , showing it to be full ol
blood and shaking with every activity
of the bird , she is in a healthy laying
condition.
Clover hay is ono of the best of foods
for sheep. Sheep that are old and. out
of condition will improve surprisingly
on clover hay , and sometimes become
quito fleshy.
Unclean eggs should bo washed 01
wiped when gathered. The shells arc
porous , and pungent filth may penetrate
and spoil the meat. Eggs for long keep

in the udder is bettor than to allow hot
to retain a portion. She remains in
service longer , while the last milk is
said to bo the richest. It frequcntli
happens that a cow-ulrics off sooner
when not completely milked than would
have been the case had it been stripped ,
The milking should be done at regu
lar periods. The cows would soon be
come accustomed to the regularity ,
They could in that manner bo taught tc
como up from the pasture at certain
hours.

tory Tlio National Outcome.
NKW YOUK , Oct. 31. [ Correspondence
of the Bun. ] The political situation in
this state this fall is perhaps the most
cmarkablo over presented to the
voters , and the most important in its
hearing on the future of the two great
parties who will again struggle for
national supremacy next year. Shrewd
observers bco very clearly now that
lie result of the next presidential
election will bo clearly foreshadowed in
lie returns of the election that will bo
decided hero on the 8th of next Novcm-
) cr.
cr."As
"As Now York state goes , so goes the
intion" is an ophoristn well sustained in
, ho experience of every presidential
election of recent times. And every
mlicntioti tends to show that as New
York stale goes in 18S7 BO will it go in
1SS8.
1SS8.But
But how will Now York go in 1887 ?
The man who n\ this writing can an
swer this question promptly , HUOCOSS-
'ully ' and without qualification may bo
said to be a prophet wise in his day and
generation. For , never was there a
) olitical contest involving so many
diverse and uncertain conditions as the
Btrutrgjo for votes that is now waging
lotly from end to end of the great com
mon wealth. Ordinarily the state
might bo sot down as domo-
: ratic , nnd * this year the democrats
liavo placed in nomination what is gen
erally regarded as an exceptionally
strong democratic ticket. The republi
can ticket , headed by Colonql Fred
Grant , the not particularly distin
guished son of a distinguished father ,
is acklowledged to bo not over strong ,
jut it has enlisted the sympathy and
services of Senators Evarts and Hiscook
and the best republican orators of the
state , who are whooping it up to the
voters of the interior In tlio
most burly fashion. But the domocrutio
campain managers are not behind them
in energy or oratory , and are also mak
ing the liveliest kind of a lively cam
paign through the stato.
Keeping in mind then the fact that
Iho state is ordinarily democratic , wore
Lhoro no directing influences , it would
bo safe to gamble on the proposition
that Frederick Cook , the democrat , and
not Frederick Grant , the [ repub
lican , would bo the next sec
retary of stato. But there are
diverting influences. Influences novel
and peculiar , which are tending to
make this the most interesting cam
paign of recent years and the most im
portant in this bearing on the national
campaign of next year. The head and
chief of these influences is Henry
( * eorgo and the united labor party.
Mr. George , in his candidacy for secre
tary of state , is making a fight that is
onl\ comparable in its marvelous vigor
and headway with , the astound
ing six weeks' campaign for the
mayoralty ho made in Now York
last year when ho polled 68,000 votes
without organization against a united
press and the well managed machinery
of both of the old parties. That vote
was generally regarded as a. protest
against corrupt methods in localpolitics
rather than an endorsement of the land
taxation reform which is the chief item
of Mr. George's political creed. But
since then the united labor party has
boon thoroughly organized in every
ward of the big cities of Now York and
Brooklyn. In the interior the move
ment is yet , to a largo extent , in em
bryo , although in largo industrial
centres like Rochester , Troy and Al
bany , it appears to have made much
headway.
At least ono million votes will bo
polled in the state this fall , and of this
number conservative calculators are
disposed to give Mr. George 12o,000.
His partisans claim 200,000. ' ' Two-thirds
of the total labor vote will probably bo
polled in the cities of Now York and
Brooklyn , and two-thirds of the total
vote may bo sot down as coming from
democratic sources. This defection
from the democratic ranks would bo
easily sulflccd to insure the election ol
the republican state ticket beyond pos-
bibility of doubt were it not for another
uncertain element iu the contest.
That uncertainty is the prohibition
voto.
voto.Tho
The prohibitionists polled 35,000
votes in the slate last year. This year
they are unquestionably stronger than
over before , and they have been making
a warm and oiithtiHiastie canvass of the
stato. A safe estimate of the prohibi
tion strength is to place it at 50,000.
Thirty-Jive thousand of ' these votes al
least will como from republican sources ,
But as the nominal democratic majority
in the state cannot bo put at higher
than 2-5,000 , and as the democratic de
sertion to the George ticket appears
to bo lit least twice what the republican
defection to the prohibitionibts is , ii
may bo sot down as a reasonable cer
tainty that Now York will go republican
this year.
And how about next year ?
Every sign of the times is that the
labor vote is growing steadily. The
principle of taxation that Mr. George
and Dr. McGlynn and the other effect
ive orators of the party are prcachinp
is evidently a thing that has como tc
stay and grow. Their campaign in the
interior this year is already being made
the basis for a great educational move
ment by which every now convert it
learning to bo a partisan and a practl
cal politician at the same time. Thii
educational movement will bo pushet
during the year to como so that the nev
party may make an effective fight foi
the governorship next year. And it ii
a perfectly conservative assertion tc
maKO , in view of the marvelous growtl
of the now idea , that the possibilities o
the gcorgo people getting the governorship
norship are not slim. The editor of th <
BEK knows that the writer of this prog
nostication is not a reckless calculator
ns ho Knows that the writre hasfacllitic
for figuring as closely as anybody in UK
Btato of Now York.
What will a great labor vote in Nov
York mean next year ?
In view of the strong probability tha
there will 'bo no labor candidate for tin
presidency , it will mean that the thirty
live eloctorial votes in the Empire staU
will bo given to the republicans.
And as Now York state goes , so goethe
the nation. C O'C. HEN'NiWsv.

A WONDERFUL RIVER.

I.lko Marble.
A Pine City special to the St. Paul
jlobo pays : There are two conllomon
cmpornrlly stopping hero who have
jocn spending the summer in the north
west territory. They report u river of
small volume , tributary to the Susknt-
: ho\van , whoso waters are so thoroughly
mprogtmted with carbonate of lima
.hut nay substance immersed therein
mn dlatoly turns tostono. They have
nany specimens of petrified wood ,
, cavcs , etc. , showing the oxaot texture
of the original article. A sirloin steak
of beef immersed in the water for a few
moments comes out rugged and solid
ind suitable to take rank witli the best
quality of building stone. Animals
iccidentally killed are found in its
valors hardened and preserved. The
jody of an olllcor in the regular
irmy , killed in 1111 Indian skirmish and
oft beneath tlio Immortalizing waters
of this placid stream , was found months
iftor. petrified with such completeness
.hat it resembled the finest grade of
i'arian marble , and the features ro-
uinod such distinctness that hu was
readily recognized by oven casual no-
luaintancos. These discoveries have
od to the idea of forming a syndicate to
utilize this stream and do away with the
repulsive idea of cremation and also the
attendant horrors of the tomb. The
company can bo called the Great North-
ivcstoan Petrifaction association ( lim-
ted ) , and its business might consist in
providing a cheap rate of transportation ,
) r perhaps running a regular cadaver
.rain transcontinental , damming the
water's of the river and anchoring
.ho inanimoto freight until salura-
, ion does its complete work , and
[ oturning them to their surviving
'riends , with texture and symmetry far
surpassing any known work of art.
This would do away with all the "baso
uses , " and prepare future imperial
Casars to beautify and adorn their an
cestral homes , instead of becoming a
more lump of plastic material , which
would only servo to "stop a hole to keep
Iho wind away. " Our friends can comeback
back from the hands of this syndicate
with a durability that will rival any of
'
the sedimentary rocks , nnd bo consp'icti-
ously sot up to watch with their agate
eyes the nianuor in which their heirs
and assigns manage the parental estates.
Wo .who live to bo great-grandfathers
may do service at the front gates of our
worthy descendants as hitching posts ,
and the line fences of future genera
tions may bo composed of the serried
columns of their adamantine ancestors.
The art possessed by the ancient Egyp
tians pales into a miserable insignifi
cance when compared with this now
process. Shriveled cadavorousncHS will
bo replaced with rotund plumpness , and
the shrunken , distorted features by the
pleasant smile with which the righteous-
is said to greet the death angel.

If you have pain in the back , pale and
nnd sallow complexion , bilious or sick
hcadacho , eruption of the skin , coated

How JockcyH Ilcduec Their Weight
Now York Sun : Getting rid of tlu
surplus flesh that keeps him from rid'
ing is not the pleasantest task for i
jockey , especially if ho has bcon in tlu
saddle several years , like Fitzpatrick
who is the heavy-weight among the
riders in the cost. It is not only diffi
cult , but extremely dangerous , and it is
the more so when it is done over nighl
to get down to the minimum weight foi
a next day mount. Two or three yean
ago McLaughlin reduced his flesh nine
pounds in one day in order to ride Ford-
ham in his great match race. That was
when ho was young , though , and will
ing to make any sacrifice to win such ur
event. Ho could not stand such phys
ical exhaustion to-day.
Bobby Swim , who was the grcatesi
jockey on the American turf ton or t
dozen years ago , reduced his weight
eleven pounds in one nightwhen ho was
riding on the Mobile , Ala. , course
Swim was riding for Price McGrath
who was known as the Irish Prince
from the fact that ho always ap
peared at the Lexington track or
opening day in a suit of green broad
cloth. Swim became dissipated , am
when the great race between Majoi
Thomas' Ilimyar and Cnmmio F. wai
run , Swim was refused the mount 01
Ilimyar. Ho thereupon went to tin
owners of Cnmmio F. and offered t <
ride that horse for nothing if ho los
and $500 if ho won. This was the daj
before the race , and the jockey vrouK
have to reduce his weight eleven pound
to ride Cammio F. , but nothing dauntci
the "jock" sot a.bout the work , his offe :
being gladly accepted. That nigh
Swim was rolleel in three heavy blankets
ots , after having taken a Turkish bath
Then ho was laid out for the greato
part of the night before a blazing wool
tire , und sweated until the blankets hate <
to bo chadgcd. In the morning ho wa
given another Turkish bath. When hi
entered the paddock in the morning hi
was so weak ho had to bo supported Ii
the saddle. Ho won on Cammio K.
finishing a length before Himyar , win
had boon a heavy favorite.

CATARRH DESCRIBED.
The Symptoms Attornllng that Dl e no
Which lipacln to Consumption.
When catarrh has existed In the head nml the
upper part of the throat for any lenuth of time
tlio patient living In a district wliero people
are tmuject to rntiirrhul uirertlon and the dis
ease luis been left uncured , the catarih liimrl-
nbljr , sometimes slowly , extends down the wind-
plpo ami Into the bronchial tubes , which tubes
convoy the air Into the dllTmtint parts of the
lungs. The tubes become alTcctod from the
swelling nnd the mucous arising from catarrh.
und. In soimt Instances , become plugged up , so
that the air cannot get In us freely as It should.
Sluirtiii'ss of breath follows , and the patient
breathes with labor and dtlllculty.
In either ruse there Is ft sound of crackling
anduhcezlnu Inside thechobt. At this stnge of
the disease the breathing Is usually more ninlil
than n hen In health. The patient has also hot
dashes over his body.
The pain which accompanies this condition I *
of a dull character , felt iu tin ; chest , behind the
breust bono or under the shoulder blade. The
pain may como and go last a few days and
then be absent for several others. The cough
that occurs In the tlr.st stages of bronchial ca
tarrh Is dry , comes on at Intel-Mils , hacking In
character , und Is umially most troublesome Iu
tha morning on rising , or going to bed at night ,
and it may bo Iu the llrst evidence of the dlBCKBB
extending Into the lungs.
Sometimes there am Ills of coughing Induced
by the tough mucus HO violent as to cause vom
iting. Later on the mucus that Is raised Is
found to contain small particles ot yellow mat
ter , which indicates that the small tubes in tha
lungs are now affected. With this there Are of
ten streaks of blood mixed wltli the mucus. Iu
some cases the patient becomes very pale , haa
fever , and expectorates before any cough ap
pears.
In some coses small masses of cheesy sul > -
Ftunce are spit up , which , vlii'ii pressed between
the lingers , emit a bad odor. In other eases par
ticles of a haul , chalky n.itnro are spit up. The
raising of cheesy or chalky lumps indicates se
rious mischief at work In the lungs. /
in some cases catarrh will extend IntAthe
lungs In a few \\Ceks ; In other cases it may bo
months , and even years , before the disease at
tacks the lungs sulllclently to cause serious In
terference with thn general health. When the
disease has developed to such a point the pa >
tlent Is said to have catarrlml consumption.
With bronchial catarrh theio Is moro or loss
fever which \Uththedlirorcntpartsof

SNEEZINGJJATARRH.
What It Moans , How It Acts , and
What It I * .
You sneeze when you get tip In the morning
you try to sneeze your no.so oir every tlmo you
are exposed to the least dratt of air. You have
a fullness over the f i out of the forehead , anil
the uoso feels as if there was a plug In each nos-
till , which you cannot dislodge. You blow your
nose until your cars crack , but it don't do any
good , and the only result Is that you succeed In
getting up u very red nose , nnd you so irritate
the lining membrane of that organ that you are
liimhlo to breathe through it at all. This Is a cor
rect and not overdrawn picture ot an acute at
tack of cut in rh , or "Snoozing Catarrh , " us It la
called *
Now , what does this cond1 ! Ion Indicate ? First
a cold that causes mucus to bu poured out by
the glands Iu the nose ; then those diseased
glands arci attacked by Mvarnu ot little germs
thocatarih germ that tlout In the air In a lo
cality where the dlscaho is piuralent. These an-
imalculae , in their oiroits to II ml n lodgment ,
irritate the sensitive membrane lining of the
node and natuie undertakes to rid hur.selt ot
them by producing u lit of sneezing.
When tn nose becomes filled ttlth thickened
diseased mucus the natural channels for tha in
troduction of air into the lungs is interfered
with , mid the person MI uflected must breathe
tluongh Iho month , and by such means the
throat becomes parched and dry , snoring la
produced , and the catarrhal disease guhui toacty
uccefea to the throat Ind lungs.
