A Typical America..
John rianklntontvas r millionaire, and
that is nfl definite aa kla wealth can bo
estimated, although a man In position to
know Bays it will exceed $10,000,000.
His Interests wore almost entirely in Mil
waukee. Mr. Plankinton camo to Milwaukeo in
1844 at tho ago of 24 years, and the char
acteristics which made him famous as a
liuslnoss mart and a citizen were brought
tnto action within a fortnight after his
arrival. A native of Delaware, he re
moved with his parents to Pittsburg at
the ago of of 13, received a scanty edu
cation, and in 1844 camo to tho city of
bricks before tho utility Of tho mud had
been discovered. When ho reached tho
village, a practical young butcher, ho
found that the friend with whom ho was
to havo formed a copartnership had mado
better arrangements with another, and
made tho excuse that young Planklnton's
capital was inadequate to the enterprise
designed. Angry at the betrayal of con
ildouco, a business failing which ho never
forgavo in any ono during his long ca
reer afterward, he resolved to start in
opposition. Po'wessing $425, he rented a
house to shelter his wife and child at $8
er mouth, bought a cow for $9 and
;urnod her out to pasture and fatten oa
the open wild laud where his palatial
In iiiso now Btands on Grand avenue, while
he rented land and proceeded to erect a
butcher shop, which cost him $108.
fourteen days after his arrival ho was
retuiling his meats.
Industrious, honest, economical, lie bo
camo tho leading butcher of the town,
;md his business tho first year averaged
neurly $1,000 per month. Ilia increasing
uiifliness demanded new quarters, and h
moved, but it was a peculiarity of his
life to retain tho title to nil roalty which
lie had onco occupied, and at tho timo of
'iu death the land upon which ho first
inmid a home in Milwaukeo was in his
name. In 1850 ho entered into n partner-
hip with Frederick Lay ton, and the new
.inn began the packing business, which,
..t the timo of dissolution in 1881, had
reached proportions equal to any house,
west of Cincinnati. For threo years Mr.
Plankinton continued alone, and in 1804
united with P. D. Armour, under tne
firm name of Plankinton & Armour.
.The business was extended to cover the
low famous establishments of Chicago,
j 'Jew York, Kansas City, and elsewhere.
I ji 1881 tho firm.dlvided, Mr. Plankinton

Hero is a story of a practical joke
flayed by an ex-Confedrate officer, Col
onel Aylett, upon some of his old com
- anions in arras, lie. had a company of
lriends at liis country place, near Rich
nond, and ono evening a display of fire
v. orks was announced. Toward tho close
." tho evening Colonel Aylett called ino
id two or three young follows to Mm,
.udsaid: "I want you to help me fool
omo of tho old soldiers, it you will. "
Of course wo jumped at tho chance,
"ml asked for orders.
"What I mean to do," ho said, "is to
make these veterans believe that I am
)ting bomb sholls from my shot gun.

,'irow a cracker into the air as high as
ossible, so that it will explode before

Wo slipped away in the darkness, and
'c guests were invited out upon the
wn to see the Colonel shoot some small
mb shells from his gun.
The signal was given; and the gun was
.'red. In a few seconds a bright flash
:is seen in the air, and a loud explosion
illowod. The shots were repeated until
x had been fired.
We could hear tho exclamations that
inllowed each discharge, and in a few
.inutcs were baok again mingling with
. is crowd, and listening to the comments
. J tho veterans.
"It reminded them of the war," they
--.id. Some of them could "distinctly
. aco the flight of tho shell from the in

Wo begged Colonel Aylett not to un

i.-ould bo "wrong to leave them under a
Aso impression. The whole affair
loived wliat strange pranks imagination
will sometimeS'play with sober reason.

Catarrh.
Catarrh is an Inflammation of the mu
cous membrane. As tho membrane lines
every cavity of the body that lias an out
let, there may be as many different forms
of catarrh as there are such cavities.
Tho closod cavities aro lined, not with
mucous membrane, but with one that
secretes a thinner fluid serum for lubri
cating purposes, which is readily absorbed
after doing its normal work. Still, the
serous membrano also maybe inflamed,
and its secretion abnormally increased.
Thus wa may have pericarditis, with
ita "water" around the heart, from in
flammation of the membrano that lines tho
hcort bag, or pericardium , pleurisy, with
its fluid crowding against tno lungs, ami
sometimes causing their complete col
lame, from inflammation of tho mem
brane that lines the chest! peritonitis, so
painful and dangerous.f rom inflammation
of tho membrane mat lines ine cavuy oi
tho abdomen j synovitis, with its painful
and puffed out joints, from inflammation
of their similar lining memorano,
A. common " cold " is an inflammation of
the air passages. When it is confined
mainly to the nostrils, it is popularly
known as a cold in the head, but medically
as coryza.
When it is confined mainly to the
bronchial tubes, it is called bronchitis,
which, when it has gained a permanent
hold, greatly resembles "consumption,"
and is often mistaken for it by the people.
Catarrh of the ears and catarrh of tho
Eustachian tubes often cause deafness.
Catarrh of tho stomach loads the stomach
with tough phlegm and interferes with
digestion. Catarrh of the gall bladder
obstructs the outflow of the bile, which is
absorbed into the circulation, and thus
gives riso to jaundice. Catarrh of the
bladder is a dangerous disease, from tho
difficulty of getting rid of the mucus.
Two forms of catarrh are due to pollen ;
one, in summer, known as "rose cold" or
"hay foverj" the other, in autumn,
known as "autumnal catarrh. " "
Tho word catarrh, as popularly usod,
means either nasal catarrh or bronchitis.
Nasal catarrh is often helped by snuffing
up, so as to carry it into tho mouth, a
weak solution of salt and water, repeat
ing the operation several times a day.
Where tho disease is very persistent, it is
well, whon possible, to try a change of
climate. In bronchitis the case should
be attended by a physician.

Tike Women ot IntlU.
The ago nt which marriage may bo
legally consummated in India is 10 years.
The physical, mental, and moral objec
tions to marriage at such an early ago ic
qulreno explanations; tlicy aro patent
to all. That a child is in no senso lit to
become awifo and mother, that her own
health often pays the penalty, and that
tho race that springs from her is likely to
lose in physical and mental vigor, nro
facts which do not admit of contradiction.
Marriage, however, will always take
place in India much earlier than in Euro
pean countries, nnd that it should ln
postponed for two or three years is all
that tho most ardent reformer can hop.
or expect at present. It is calculated tha;
in India ono woman in five is a widow :
of these a very largo proportion must b
women who, having been betrothed at
any time between the cradle and 10 years
of age, have become widows without ever
having been wives. To Understand tiif
full misery of their condition ono must
realize that marriage is the very Alpha
and Omega of an Indian woman's exist
once, and that the whole bent and train
ing of her mind points to a husband as
tho end and object of lite. He is, in fact,
her only ralson d'etre; and when, there
fore, she either altogether misses the ful
fillment of her destiny, or loses her hus
band early, she fa, both in her own and
in public estimation, a most unhappy
being. The Bhorn head, the plain clothes ,
the absence ot ornament, the abandon
ment of all luxury, are not gratuitous
cruelties j they are but tho symbols of nn
overwhelming misfortune, and seem to
be accepted as the natural expression of
a hopeless grief. It is not plain to see
how this sentiment with regard to widow
hood is to be modified by any reforms
that we can suggest. It is only by th
education and elevation of women tha
any change can come over the feeling o
the people with regard to marriage, and
it is only when public opinion ceases tu
regard her as a chattel, and begins to
recognize her as a helpmate, that a
woman's condition, whether as wife or
widow, can become more honorable and
mora worthy of respect

Carriage NoincnclntArc.
It is probable that the idea of a vehicle
with wheels, to be drawn by auiinals,
must have occurred to men soon after tu .
domestication of tho horso and ox. Tl
first attempts in this direction were vciy
rude. In this country tho prevalent mode,
of traveling for the first two ccnturli-i
was on horseback, the roads preventin;;
any very extonsivo uso of wheeled vehi
cles ; but aa the country has increased in
wealth, and the highways, city and town
streets have improved, the demand for
public and private carriages has grown to
be very large. A writer in tho Detroit
JVee Press gives tho origin of the names
of some of the most common vehicles
now In use.
The popular Hansom derives its distin
guishing title from a certain Mr. Hnniom.
The Brougham, which was first used by
the famous Lord Brougham, took its till '
from that nobleman.
Landau, a city iu Germany, was the
locality in which was first mado tlu
stylo ot vehicle bearing that namo.
Hacks originally were termed hackney
coaches, because they were drawn by
hackney a name applied to easy goin
horses.
The Gig was given that name from ito
peculiar jumping and rocking motion,
the word being taken from the French
gigue, signifying the jig or a lively
dance.
The term Coach Is derived from tho
French coclie, a diminutive form of tho
Latin conchula, a shell, In which form
tho body of such conveyances was
originally fashioned.
Coupe Is French in origin, being de
rived from the verb cooper (coopay) to
cut. This was considered nn appropriate
designation because It greatly resembled
a coach with the front part cut off.
Seldom, if ever, is the full term Omni
bus applied to those lumbering vehicles.
With the characteristic brevity of Eng
lish speaking races tho title has been
clianged to Bus. These were first seen
in Paris in 1827, the original name being
nothing more than the Latin word signi
fying "for all."
Cab is an abbreviation ot tho Italian
capriola, which is changed to cabriolet
(cabriolay) in French. Both words havo
a common derivative oobriolo signify
ing a goat's leap. The exact reason for
giving it this strango appellation is un
known. V

Tlio head should bo bathed dally In o
water, into which a little eau de color,
lias been poured. Tlio scalp should tl,

treatment is recommended iu all ca
