Two severe earthquake shocks were
felt in the Northern States and Can
ada at nearly midday Monday. In
Montreal it was the most severe shock
felt for years. The people rushed
into the streets, fearing that buildings
would fall. The ice in the canal was
broken up. At St. Atbans and Bur
lington, Yt., it was equally severe,
lasting from ten to fifteen seconds
At Gerkham, New Hampshire, it was
very severe.. I ne two distinct shocks
were felt in New York State at the
following places: Malone, Rome,
Watertown, Canayohone, Cleyton,
Plattsburg. Ogdcnsburg and Troy.
From a recent issue of the Drug
(list's Circular and Chemical Ga
zette we clip the following for the ben
efit of our readers:
"In a recent issue of the New
York World there was published a
two-column article entitled Caught
by Common Salt,' in which that paper
stated how a firm doing business under
the name of the Koal Spar Co , was
reaping a rich harvest by putting on
the market in handsome lithograph
packages a substance called ' Koal
Spar,' which they extolled in extensive
advertisements as a 'great discovery '
for the saving of coal, and which
proved on analysis by chemists cm-
ployed by the World, to be nothing
more nor less than an impure quality
of common rock salt."
Judge Gunster, of the Lackawanna
court, has rendered a decision in
which he denies the authority of bor
oughs to compel raihoad companies
to build safety gates at railroad cross
ings within the limits of such boroughs.
In his opinion the learned Judge says:
"It is somewhat strange that the ques
tion before me has not been brought
to the attention of the Supreme Court,
Lut counsel for both parties inform
me that after diligent seaich they
have been unable to rind any decision
of it. I have been unable to
find any myself in the limited time al
. lowed me. The power claimed may
be desirable and in view of the im
mense growth of the population of the
Commonwealth may he necessary, but
unless the State has conferred it on
boroughs, they do not have it, and
comts have no power to grant it. We
are unable to find any law which
specifically or by implication confers
it. After carefully examining the
question we are of the opinion that
the ordinance in question as set forth
in the case stated is not valid or bind
ing upon the defendant company, and
judgment is entered on the case stated
in favor of the defendant.'' Wy
oming Democrat.
TIME TO DO SOMETHING.
It is now more than a year since
the people elected Grover Cleveland
President of the United States, and
placed the administration of the gov
ernment in Democratic hands. As it
was a great victory for the Democrat
ic party, that party had a right to ex
pect that it would be permitted to en
joy the fruits of that victory . Hut
time goes on, and, with the exception
of a few country postmasters, Repub
lican officeholders continue unmolested
in the enjoyment of remunerative po
sitions, and the applications and re
commendations of prominent Demo
crats all over the country are ignored,
ar.d there are beginning to be mutter
ings of discontent ah along the line.
In fact, one of the most potent fac
tors that created the apathy in the
Democratic ranks, which resulted in
disastrous defeat to them on Novem
ber 4th, is the slowness of the admin
istration in making appointments.
When the Republicans elect a Presi
dent, they are not slow in giving the
garnd bounce to everybody that has
a suspicion of Democracy about him,
and we honor thein for it. The party
in power is entitled to the assistance
of its political friends, and there ought
to be no further delay in making ap
pointments. Thousands of lives are saved an
nually by the use of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. In the treatment of croup
and whooping cough, the Pectoral has
a most marvelous effect. It allays in
flammation, frees the obstructed air
passages, and controls the desire to
cough.
How to Say Hawaii.
"How do you pronounce the name
of the island kingdom which wants to
be annexed to the United Stairs ?"
"s :i fien iri.t iiueslii u lercnl'v The
i'Mit coin m inly accep'd m th'KV is,
i 1 1 4 h wi e. ' the second syllable it .u:
' o-iifed, and the "1" ln-W as in "pin-,"
Tne qikMion w:is nnre a-kel -ot a
hhcaste Hawaiian lady, well educa
ted in her own and the English lan
guage. She answered :
'The proper pronounciation is
Hah vah-e-e. There is no "w" in our
I alphabet, and no letter 01 combina
tion of letters which takes the sound
of 'w,' as in English. The mission
anes who first translated our language
found it difficult to pronounce or ex
press the sound which is, to my ear,
correctly conveyed by the letter V
softened and made full. Our 'a' is
pronounced broad, as you pronounce
it in 'fall,' and our 'i' is like the Eng
lish 'e' The rule is to pronounce
every vowel, and as the exception to
the rule does not aflect the double 'f
in Hawaii you will see that the word
is 'Hah vah e-e.'"
These are the twelve letters of the
Hawaii xn language, with their pro
nounciation : A (ah), e (a), o (oh), o
(00), h (hay), k (kay), 1 (lah), m (moo),
n (noo), p (pay), v (vay). There is
no zound of "i," as in the English
language, except where "ai" follows
"w," or, as the Hawaiian lady would
insist, "v." There is a great differ
ence in the language as spoken by the
high and low caste Hawaiians. The
low casie speak with a succession of
explosive, staccato gutturals ; the high
caste with a liquid How that makes it
a beautiful language. The insistence
upon the "v" instead of the "w" sound
is considered, even by some of the
educated and all of the uneducated as
something of an affectation. Lan
guages. Pathology as Oppjsed to Physiology
Physiology relates to healthy actions
of the human body; Pathology relates
to diseased actions.
It has been remarked : 'A physi
cian that could enumerate a sick per
son's symptoms without being told
where the pain was located must be
very clever." It is understood that
the expression of the countenance is
something of an index to the physical
condition. A physician as a detec
tive in ferreting out diseases, it is pos
sible for him to glance at the gestures
and countenance of an individual,
and from the drawn, distorted and
pallid features recognize the presence
of disease. And it is possible in some
instances to pronounce the name of
the disease. But it is not possible to
do so in all diseases without a careful
phvsical examination and the natient's
effort to aid him. If he should jump
at a conclusion and make no mistake
as to the name of the disease, he
wou'd' have no difficulty in enumera
. . .t . t i-
uiig me symptoms, ior every disease
has symptoms peculiar to itself. A
specialist would know how and where
to look for them, and the means of
care. Havinir examined a natient.
, 1 7
and satitfied with his diagnosis of a
disease, if he chooses to ouestion
further for the patient's satisfaction
nis question would lead to the symp
toms, ('ocality and character of pain.)
The patient would answer in the f.
firmative. It should make little dif
feience to the patient what the name
of his disease except to satisfy a mor
bid curiosity. It would be satisfac
tory for him to know that he had been
cured, and no symptoms of disease re
maining. A true physician would not
hesitate to pronounce the name of a
disease when it was requested of him.
wnen an individual is sick he general
ly knows from his sensations the char
acter of pain and about where it is lo-'
cated. Some diseases approach sud
denly without warning, others come
on gradually, insidiously, and without
definite culmination which makes it
difficult to prevent sickness, and re
quires skillful management to break it
up in the start as well as to cure it
after it has become established The
principal obiect in this is to enumerate
some of the most notable symptoms
in some chronic diseases of a grave
character under respective numbers.
Sufferers will readilv recoenize a sim
ilarity in their sensations to the de
scription herein given.
Healthy people will scarcely nive it
attention as it will seem like a medi
cal advertisement. There are many
however, that will certainly experience
the symptoms I will presently write,
and with this reminder they would
know when to seek medical aid, and
if no one can be found to properly
diagnose their diseases the wri'er
ttould do so, and effect cures. The
symptoms under the first number are:
No I.
Muscular debility, general weakness.
pale lips, inner surface of eye lids pale,
and other mucous surfaces pale,
tongue flabby and generally indented
oy tne lectn.musmass in vessels of the
neck, shortness of breath, nalnitatinn
of the heart, hands and feet cold and
sometimes damp, head light, ringing
in the ears and head, motes before the
eyes, numbness of the limbs, depres
sion ot the spirits, pain in brow over
the eyes, thirst and sometimes con
vulsions. The causes that produce this train
of symptoms are numerous and some
of them tend to sudden death. They
are curable if medical treatment be
applied in time.
No. II.
The symptoms under this number
nr not variable, rxcept in intensry,

j the Uni), from their sensations wi I
pi-rceive a correctness 111 description
neie j;iven. The capital feature is
pain. This may be either lancinating
or contusive. The ' lancinating is
sharp, paroxysmal, shooting or dart
ing from place to place. The con
tusing is a dull aching, burning,
boring, bearing, tensive and compres
sive pain. The pain may be deep
seated or superficied, and even in the
skin. In all this there is a pressure
exerted due in a measure to changes
in temperature. The next symptom
is tenderness on pressure. A contu
sive pain can be excited at anv time
j when pressure is exerted. Whereas
the lancinating pain is always paroxys
mal. To develop pain by pressure,
this must be directed on the part ef
fected. The seat of pain being very
small, not more than a quarter to a
half inch in diameter. Lancinating
pains are produced from various causes.
Sometimes the parts arc not only pain
ful but wasted and paralized. The
longer the disease is neglected the
longer it will take to cure it.

An officer connected with the Tacony
Station house, Philadelphia, has had se
vere battle with a monster, or a demon,
ho hardly knows which to call it. Wo will
let him tell tho story iu his own words:
" I Want to Say a Word
about what Hood'i S.ir-mp:irllla did for me. I
was troubled the worst way with dyspepsia.
Why, I could aot mat anything ut breakfast
without distress, ami when I did nmuago to eat
a Uttlo it would all come up again. I tried
almost everything I heard of to ilnd relief, but
still I suffered. At last I was told Juat how
I frit aud what Hood's Sarsnpurilla would do
for me by an advertisement In a paper. I de
cided to try the medicine, and rnlizrri all the
bvnottl priultd. It was what flood's Sarsa
parilla actually did for mo that
Convinced me of Its Merit
I cannot praise it enough. I can eat heartily
now, although two months ago I did not know
what It was to keep anything on my stomach.
Hood's s; Cures
Besides being cured of dyspepsia, I have been
relieved of sovero pains In the kidneys. I am
willing this should bo used to toll others how
to be cured ot dyspepsia." Officer Kohf.sb
