HAVE YOU NEURALGIA?

Soinethiug About That Maddening 111 That Flesh Is Heir To. Though it may appear strange to us who think wo are familiar with the commoner forms of neuralgia, or nerve pain, such as toothacho, headache and the like, it is not easy always to say whether the pain we are suffering be really a neuralgia pure and simple.

him for services in circuit court, which are separate from commissioners' court. The question is, if the officer hab allowances made to him oE over 5l,300_in two monthB, what will they all amount to in twelve months? Is there any wonder that candidates are springing up for the office all over the county? They are seemingly all willing to be sacrificed if allowances, such as the above, are mado

In point of fact,' neuralgia is a name for a condition rather than a disease, and only implies that in the course of the nerve in question there is pain that is not caused by any disease of the parts supplied by that nerve or of the nerve itself.

The causes of neuralgia, then, are to be found in conditions outside of the trouble itself. For instance, there may be a tumor pressing upon the nerve and continually irritating it. In the same way foreign bodies, such as bullets, may set up a persistent neuralgia. Ends of nerves, by becoming involved in the contraction of a scar, may become sufficiently compressed to give rise to unbearable pain. Sometimes veins that are near nerves, or follow their course through long, bony canals, become sufficiently distended to irritate the nerve.

Or there may be poison in the blood, like malaria, arsenic or lead, which, by lowering the general vitality of the body, contributes to a general nerve weakness and irritability.

In a large proportion of cases the real cause of neuralgia is so general an to bo quite obscure. Tho exciting cause—or occasion—of a single attack of neuralgia is usually getting chilled or overI exercising the part subject to the complaint.

As many of us know by experience, tho course of an attack of neuralgia is extremely varied. The pain maybe continuous, rem-f.tent or intermittent, temporary or persistent, located at one spot or diffused over a large area, and may be shooting, aching or burning in character.

By way of treatment wo may use locally any goo.l liniment, blistering, hot fomentations or electricity. Iron and I quinine are of tho greatest value internally, especially where tho system is run-down or there is a malarial taint I in tho blood. Antirheumatics must, of I course, be resorted to in cases of a rheu1 mafic origin. In these latter oases thorn is nothing like absolute rest and regular and nourishing diet. I Morphine or oilier opiates should be usod but sparingly in nc-uralgia, and never in cases of debility or old ago.—

Who's Gambetta?

Your improvised chiefs of the national defense are simply so many 'knights of tho pavement' (chevaliers du pave), sjiid Bismarck to Jules Favro at their interview at Ferrieres a fortnight after the fall of tho second empire.

ings of the courts of Europe with regard to the men whom we now complacently term "the founders of the third republic." Europe had heard of Jules Favre himself, of Jules Simon, of GamierPage, of Eugene Pelletan (the father of Caniille Pelletan), but Gambetta, Picard, Ferry, Glais-Bizoin and a half dozen others, who suddenly professed to pick up the sword that had fallen powerless from the hands of the marshals of France, in order to stem tho tide of foreign invasion, they did not know. It i3 doubtful whether the French thereselves, outside of Paris, knew much about their solf elected would be saviors.

When on the oth of September, 1870, Victor Hugo, his son and daughter, Mine. Drouais, and several friends left Brussels for Paris, where the poet expected a triumphal welcome, their train was brought to a stop at Maubeuge by the side of another containing part of Vinoy's army that had escaped the disaster of Sedan. Men and horses were huddled pellmell in cattle trucks, the men silent and depressed, brooding over their unexpected and blastlike defeat. Hugo tried to cheer them. He leaned out of liis carriage and shouted: "Vive la France! Vive la republique!" but there was no response, not even when Mae. Drouais told tho men who was speaking to them.

An Indian Taboo.

The penalty for violating, even unwittingly, tiio taboo of a gens is a visitation of sores, livid spots, inflammation of the eyes and even blindness. The In-shtasnnda, or thunder gons, do not touch reptiles, toads or beetles. Some years ago the vegetable garden of the Omaha mission was visited by the potato bug. The good missionaries in charge engaged the children in tho work of exI termination by offering a bounty of 5 cents a quart, solid measure, ior defunct bugs. As the extinction of tho specios became imminent, some of the young wits adulterated their hugs by the addition of spurious beetles. About this time one of the littlo girls became suddenly covered with sores. Her parents, hearing of it, came in consternation to tho mission. She belonged to the thunder gens, and tho child's bug income ceased at once. She had uuwil tingJy been carrying

GENESIS OF A SONG.

ItA Author Tells an interesting Story of Its Composition—Within an Hoar After the Idea Came Four Gentlemen Were

Lu Richmond, little town of less

Just at this timo Samuel Fillmore Bennett was graduated from Ann Arbor, Mich., and began a newspaper career at Elkliorn, Wis., on The Independent. J. P. Webster, tho musical composer, was living in tho same town, and it was only a few months before tho editor and tho musician were collaborating. The war intervened, and Lioutenant Bennett of the Fortieth Wisconsin volunteers returned to Elkhorn to open a drug storo and resume lii.s verso writing. He and Mrs. Webster began in 1867 to work on a Sunday school songbook, called "The Signet Ring," which was afterward published.

This period of his life is the most precious of all his experiences to Dr. Bennett. Not long ago he told tho whole story to an interested group of listeners, his eyes filling with tears as he vindicated his friend from calumnies: "Currency has been given to tho shameful story that Mr. Webster was drunk when he wroto the music, and another account has it that wo were both drunk. I am thankful to do justice to one of the noblest men that ever lived —a fine, sensitive soul, with tho true artistic feeling. Again, it has been said that wo were both infidels, and the song the ribald jest of a carouse. As to my religion, that is my own affair, but the hope and longing of every immortal soul as expressed in that song were the faith of both of us. To both creation would have seemed a farco if infinite love and immortality had not overshadowed us and promised a life of bliss beyond tho grave. "Mr. Wobstor, like many musicians, was of an exceedingly nervous and sensitive nature, and subject to fits of depression. I knew his peculiarities well, and when I f(jund liini given up to blue devils, I just gavo him a cheerful song to work on. One morning ho came into the store and walked to tho stove without speaking. 'What's up now, Webster?' I asked. 'It's no matter. It will be all right by and by.! "The idea of tho hymn came to me like a Hash of sunshino—'The Sweet By and By.' Everything will be all right then. 'Why wouldn't that make a good hymn?' 'Maybe it would.'he replied gloomily. Turning to the desk, I wrote as rapidly as I could. In less than half an hour, I think, tho song as it stands today was written. Here it is: "Thorn's a liuid that la fairer than clay,

And by faith we can seo it afar, For the Father waits ovor tho way To prepare us a dwelling place there.

CHORUS.

"In tho sweet by and by Wo shall meet on that beautiful shore— In tho sweet by and by

We shall meet on that beautiful shoro.

"Wo shall sing on that beautiful shore Tho melodious songs of the blest, And our spirits shall sorrow no more—

Not a sigh for tho blessing of rest.

"To our bountiful Father abovo Wo will offer tho tribute of pralso For tho glorious gift of his lovo

And the blessings that hallow our day3. "In the meantime two friends, N. H. Carswell und S. E. Bright, had come in. I handed the verses to Mr. Webster, a little tremulous with emotion. As

I'ublinherH and Librarians.

The future of the publishers' work for a higher standard of literature depends largely upon the libraries and library associations. Larger library funds and better methods of distribution will make the next generation of scribblers better fitted to scribble. The books# which puzzle publishes the most are* those which a few people could use to great advantage. If wo publishers could be assured that 500 publio libraries

than 1,000 inhabitants, almost on the would buy them, it would be possible for southern boundary lino of Illinois, lives tis to.publish many books which are now tnA nnthnr r»r n** 1 rerusod, but which would bo 111 demand

tbo author of "In tho Sweet By and By." Ho is practicing physician and Js.under GO years of ago. The immortal hymn was written when ho was only 81 and is the single song of his life.

During the civil war a wave of moralj

elevation and intellectual activity passed over the country. In this grand awakening of tho conscience there was a flood of music—martial, religious, domestic. Georgo F. Root and Stephen J. Foster were both writing songs that lived, and Sunday school liymns passed out of the driveling period into one of elevated simplicity.

Hero in New England you are doing your full share in this direction of catering to the most scholarly taste of readers, but many of you lack funds, and what we need all over this country is a better understanding of this need and library endowments which I shall mako it possible for us to publish I those works that would be of benefit to I libraries and to the very best class of readers.—Mr. G. H. Putnam to Massachusetts Library Club.

Weight and Quality Unimpaired. A man at 0110 of tho hotels tho other night told an interesting story of how tho freighters in the far west used to supply thomselves with whisky. Ho said that some years ago, when all freight

011

tho frontiers was hyuled in

wagons, he happened to make a trip of several hundred miles with a train of wagons carrying merchandise to remote stations. Nearly overy wagon contained ono or more barrels of whisky. "The first night out I noticed," said he, "groat activity around the whisky barrels. Tho wagons each had a hatchet and a gimlet. Tliey would knock up a hoop, bore a hole, draw all tho whisky they wanted, then put about as much line gravel in tho barrel as they had drawn out whisky, drive a plug in the hole, and put the hoop back in place. "I learned afterward that the barrels were weighed and tho whisky tested beforo it was turnod over to the freighters, and that when it arrived at its destination it was again woighed and tested. The gravel supplied tho weight and bulk and tho quality remained the same, and this was why it was used instead of water to sunply the place of what had been taken out."—Louisville CourierJournal. •V .Yl'ciiguins of Possession Island.

It was most remarkable to seo what a regulated .system of roads the inhabitants of Possession had arranged. From the beach a broad main track led straight into tho middle of the island, and from this secondary roads wont out to all parts, the whole forming a network of roads apparently ruled by a most civilized department. With beak and feet the ponguins had carefully put away most of tho pebbles and stones from their footpaths, and where snow covered the grounds tho roads had by constant uso become so smooth and so neat that Macadam in all his glory would have acknowledged himself beaten. The most curious thing of all was tho way in which the penguins seemed to maintain order in these paths. Currents or penguins were continually moving from and toward tho beach. While tho fat new arrivals always kept to the right, tho thin penguins, which were moving off to the continent, always kept to the left, and I never saw any fighting among them. The colony evidently formed one peaceful community.—C. E.

The Intended Compliment. In an old fashioned home of New Orleans there was company at dinner, and the ladies were discussing the woman question. Says The Picayune of that city:

A gentleman prosent, after hearing all the pros and cons, facetiously remarked that two preachers were discussing tho same problem, recently, in his hearing, and they botji agreed that it portended evil, and "that women were responsible for most of the evil in the •world—in fact, that women were worse than men.''

One of tho ladies indignantly retorted, "Indeed they are not women are

the galt of tho eart

gentlemen were singing that song. Mr. "Dat's so, honey," put in old Annt B. It. Crosby came in, and with tears sufian from the kitchen "dat's

in his eyes sajd, 'Gentlemen, that hymn truf, for shore. Women is do salt ob de is immortal.' Wo wore all excited, elated. Within two woeka the children of- the town were singing it on the streets. "In 1808 'The Signet Ring' was pub-1 lished, tho published distributing circulars to advertiso it and on tho sheets was 'The Sweet By and By.' On the strength of that one song nearly 250,000 copies of tho book were sold. The song I was afterward brought out in sheet mu-! sic, and it has been translated into a number of foreign languages. "Webster, Crosby and Carswell are all dead. S. E. Bright of l'ort Atkinson, Wis., and mysolf are tho only living witnesses to the origin of the song."— Louisvillo Post.

There has been designed by a clever Englishman a little electric light fitting for tho bedroom that deserves to be widely appreciated. It is intended more particularly for tho uso of invalids, especially in houses still unequipped with the electric light. The lam)) is of two candle power and gives a beautiful, aoft illumination. It can bo fastened to any part of tho bedstead and concentrated in whatever direction may be required. Tho accumulator is contained in a small box, which may be placed beneath the bed.
