Safeguards Against Catarrh. Both from the obstructions occasioned by incipient catarrh, and from habit, young children breathe through the mouth. If parents would make it an axiom of the nursery and the playground, ‘Breathe through your nose only," the cure would be well begun. Let tne lesson be repeated, enforced, and insisted upon, until it becomes second nature with t e child. Let it be more familiar than the daily routine of exercises, and as necessary as the meals. Het it as a part of the pu-rils education that he shall walk a certain number of roi uds of the play ground at a rapid rate with his lips tight!v closed. Make the opening of them during the round a demerit, and the completion of the task in aoonunos with directions, a merit. Increase the distance and the speed daily.— When a boy or girl can walk, at a rapid pace, or, better, run, three hundred'yar. s, breathing only through the note, and repeat the performance thrice during the day, there need be small fear of chronic n"sal catarrh. Even when the disease has'become seat, ed in a young person it may be eradicated by persistence in this exeioise. which, as everyone knows, increases the lung powei and benefits the circulatory system at the same time. It is a very simple remeefir, but, persevered in, it is a perfect one. In persons of any age, a very efficacious remedy, often curative, if used regularly, is salt water, snuffed Into the nostrils ninht and morning. A strong solation of seasalt (or even common table salt) in water should be kept in a bottle, and when needed a sufficient quantity diluted with warn water so that the liquid will have only a sli htly salt taste. A large glassful is sufficient, and the salted water should be used at blood heat. It can be used at any time, though it is best to take it jwst before retiring, and immediately upon rising in the morning; but i ever before going out-of-doors.—From “Sanitarium," in Demorest's Magazine for February. Demorest's Family Magazine, for Feb ruary, has been rece ved, and is brimfull of entertaing, instructive and valuable reading. No household should be without without it. Could Be Sold at a Profit. Cleveland, Jan. 15.—A woolen mill in this city is now employing 300 persons day and night and the proprietors attribute the increase of orders to the free rdmlssion of wool which they say was the hardest blow France and Engl and ever received commercially from this country, two English experts whv examined the products and prices of this mill say the cloth could be sold at a profit in Bradford, England.

A Credit to His State. Western Christian Advocate. Governor Matthews, of Indiana, is 6 credit to his State. His recent message rings clear on all questions of good morals. The glaring iniquity of the Roby Fair As- > ociation, not inaptly styled Indiana’s MotrteDarlo almost impregnably intrenched behind law, he recommends th? Legislature to make impossible. He iske nly sensitive to the d sgraee of prize fighting, and asks its clearer definition, with a view to its absolute prohibition. He asks that the Governor be empowered to suspend sheriffs or other executive officers who neglect or refuse, to enforce the law in case of riots, etc., so that all possibility of anaiohy may be removed; and to clinch his authority for good order, he asks power to bring action against railroads and other common carriers to restrain them win carrying passengers to engage in unlawful enterprises, and making such carrying a cause for forfeiture of their franchises When suoh a man is elected to the presidency, even his political opponents can but be proud of him.

Twenty-four years ago electricity as a mechanical power was unknown. Now $900,000,000 is invested in various kiuda of electrical machinery. Doctors are among the most self-sacri-ficing men in the world. They often put themselves in danger while in attendance upon those afflicted with infectious or contagious diseases. One can always find a ooctor who will take any ease, however dangerous it may be to himself. Many a doctor risks his life in the practice of his profession. Many a one has fallen a martyr to duty. Two years ago, when cholera threatened this country, scores upon scores of doctors and medical students hastened to otter their services in the hospitals. Let plague come upon any plaoe, and there is rarely ever a lack of doctors to contend with it. If few of them were desifous of attending the Chinese leper who recently died in New York, it was because his case was hopeless from the first, and because the disease might be spread by any one who ctme in contact with him; yet this leper was not left without medical care. The community honors the medical profession, so many members of which sacrifice their lives for the sake of the community.

There is no use walking the floor with a felan. Wra» a cloth loosely around the felon, leaving the end open. Pcur gun jowder in the end and shake it down until he end is covered, then keep it wet with camphor. In two hours the pain will be re'ieved and perfect cure will follow quickly. There is a peculiar sameness about the deaths of Governor Gr-.y |and General Manson. They died in the same month. General Manson was carried from a Monon train at Frankfort unconscious and died shortly aftsr being taken to a hotel. Gove nor Gray was found unconscious in a Pullman sleencr when he reached the Mexican capital and was conveyed to a hospital where he died before regaining conseiousness. But two weeks intervened between the dates of their deaths. In life they were closely associated together. General Manson was elected lieutenant governor in 1884 when Governc r Gray was chosen governor. A little more than a month ago they were together at the Jackson day banquet at Indianapolis,

Warren Knowles, by his attorney, D. H Chase, was about to bring suit against Nick Fries, the Northside saloon keeper, demanding damages in |the sum of SSOO, when a compromise was effected. Fries pays Knowles $250, the latter’s doctor s6i>, his attorney SSO and the sister of St. Joseph’s hospital $26. The action was based upon the tact of Fries having sold liquor to Harry Warden, who shot Knowles.— Logansport Pharos. The result of the meeting of the Populist convention at Kansas City is a fight between the Omaha platform element and the Populist national committee headed by Taubeneck. An odd palindromic sentence—one which reads the same backward as forward—is ’Draw pupil’s lip upward." If a coat of paint were applied to the ■kin of a human being death would ensue tn a few hours.
