Pmots Worth Knowing.
In all diseases of the nasal mucous membrane the remedy used must be non-irritating. The medical profession has been alow to learn this. Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs powders, syringes, astringents or any similar application, because thev are all irritating, do not thoroughlv reach the affected surface* and should be abandoned as wom» than failure*.

Induced Magnetism In Iron Vessels.
The other magnetic qualities of a ship are comparatively tables, but this is treacherous^ and changeable to a degree that necessitates constant viligance to prevent disaster. On
the
great fleet of transatlantic steamers it is mote likely to load into danger than on other routes tho ships steer a generally easterly course going to Europe, and a westerly one coming to New York the magnetic influence on the outward trip is the opposite of that returning: the ships run at a high rate of speed, and the induction varies on different ports of th» route, according to the intensity of the magnetic field passed over, the smoothness or roughness of the sea which affects tho motion of the ship, and the warmth or coolness of the weather.
I ustead of attributing the loss of vessels when approaching a coast to the magnetic effects of fogs and land, and other improbable influences upon the compass, it were much more reasonable to ascribe it to the changed conditions of her magnetism by induction during the passage, and which has not been discovered or kept account of by frequent azimuths previous to closing in with the land. Suddenly, a course that the captain thought perfectly safe carries the ship upon a shoal or rock, and the fault is laid upon the compasses, whereas they but obeyed the magnetic influences that became altered, during along passage, from what these influences were when th^ ship was last swung to determine the deviations of her compasses.—T. A. Lyons in Popular Science Monthly.
Garter Snakes and Their Younff.
"Garter snakes have a habit of swallowing their young, which, if a good brood, will frequently be as many as 100 and up as high as three times that number. One day," said the manager of a traveling circus in St. Louis, "a countryman hitched his team in the back yard and told the doorkeeper he had a big snake he would trado for admission for himwOf and family—nine altogether. I got the snake and put it in a box. It was a big one—some nine feet long and mighty heavy. That night we came back from supper and found the place chock full of rising young garters. The largest was no more in size than a lead pencil The place was full of them. You couldn't sit down in a chair but what they would climb up all six limbs. They were in our hats, chairs, desks, cages, on the floors, everywhere. Where in the world did they come from? was the question. By chance some one struck the gong. In a minute the mystery was solved. The hordes of little varmints began scampering to their mother. She quietly opened her mouth and in they ran. Country snakes were put into tight boxes after that till such a time as we became well acquainted and knew whether it was ono serpent or a serpent's skin full of sprouting snake seed—St. Louis Letter.
Great Dock Dogs.
T.llra the Newfoundland, the Chesapeake Bay dog is still to be found—with tho same capacity and aptitude for his calling—in several strains, sizes, coats and colors, long haired, short haired and curly coated rod, brown, or yellow, or sedge grass in color. Having gunned on one of tho choicest shores of the Gunpowder river for more than twenty years, and consequently outlived many early prejudices, I can say that by far the most satisfactory dog for the true sportsman is the medium sized, "otter coated," dead grass color, tho shade of your shooting suit. This settles tho question of color advantage. They do not carry doad water to shake over you like any long haired animal, and consequently suffer leas from cold themselves, having a fine fur next the hide. They are powerful, fast swimmers, with scent equal to any dog of the best breed. Tho large dog tires quicker, is hard to keep out of sight, and of course is in tho way about tho blind. Tho endurance of these dogs as a breed and their intelligence for their business is almost beyond belief. But they aro unsatisfactory for any other purpose they know duck—duck and nothing else.—Forest and Stream.
A Iinlly Old Kinp.
Two American boys made tho acquaintance of tlio king of Denmark under very peculiar circumstances. They wero skylarking in tho streets of Copenhagen, and one boy tossed the other's hat into a tree. While the victim was trying to dislodge it there came along an old gentleman with an unbrella under his arm and his head buried in his book. "Please, sir," Baid the hatlcss boy, "will you get my hat?" Tho old gentleman fished around with his umbrella for about five minutes, and failing to dislodge the hat, allowed the boy to mount his shoulders, and, with tho umbrella, finally captured the hat. As tho boy dismounted and thanked the old gentleman, another gentleman camo along, who saluted and called tho ono with tho umbrella "your majesty." Being an American, our boy was not paralyzed, but he thinks tho lrfng deserves his kingdom. In fact, tho king of Denmark is a capital fellow. Ho loves to minglo with tho people in their amusements, and there is no fol-de-rol of royalty about him.—Golden Days.
Effect* of Heavy Hatr.
"I do not believo that heavy hair takes away strength," said a leading physician the other day. "Heavy hair may bo burdensome to weak people by its weight in tho same way that a heavy hat or bonnet might be. Its growth is only weakening in tho same sense that all growth may be, and the growth is ordinarily compensated for by food. In any event there is no way of retarding the growth of the hair cutting only stimulates it, but it may relievo the sense of weight. "We should do nothing for the hair of a child beyond keeping tho head clean. Many children are extremely slow in getting hair, but it comes ultimately, and, so far as observation is an authority, just as abundantly as in other children. The growth and development of children is vary often fitful and uneven, one part growing seemingly at the expense of another for tho time. "—New York Mail and Express.
Singular Fatalities.
It was somo years ago that four trusted and popular employes of a certain well known firm here pulled out and started in business for themselves in the same lino. For a timo everything went along smoothly, and tho orders rolled in from their old customers. Then the head at the firm went east on business, and a week or so later the startling news came that he had fallen into the machinery of a mill and had been crushed to death. It was not many months later that tho junior member of the firm went away, and whilo traveling he was killed in a railroad accident Theo the third member of the quartet was mysteriously murdered, and now the surviving member Is wondering if an untimely death is to be his lot. It was a singular succession of fatalities —Chicago Herald.
