An Alaska Volcano in Action.
Passengers on the steamer Arngo con
firm the report tlrat Mount Bogoslov,
Alaska, is in a state of eruption. Tho
steamer left Ounalaska July 3,andatthat
time lanre volumes of steam and smoke
could be seen issuing from the volcano,
wlule at night a pillar of fire thousands
of feet in height was discernible for miles.
BoOslov has been in a state of active
eruption ever siuce. The sight is a grand
one, and mariners hope the activity will
continue, as it serves as a light house m
guiding vessels through Ounamak Pass.
Steam and smoke havo been seen to issue
from the center, and fire and lava were
daily expected to be seen issuing from

who has done much to make China a
maritime power, lias been driven into
resigning and his' place is taken by a
native commander. The Chinese evi
dently mean that no European p.wer

their military or naval affairs. Tlie Chi

one which properly officered would
prove a formidable naval antagonist in

it !ia,i this advantage over mor- preten
tious remedies, that seldom in case of
over zeal or mismanagement can it be
made to lo mischief. If it doesn't h al
it won't kill, at any rato. Here ai some
of the things it is good for:
Heated dry aud applied to the outer
surface over the seat of i till am mat ion or
congestion it will give utmost instant
relief, while applications of a strong hot
solution of .-alt in water or vinegar acts
like magic uioii toothache, earache, neu
ralgic headache, aud all that brood of
districting ills.
For catai rind aHections and Mire throat
a spray of warm water and salt is al
most a siweific, and is one of the stand
ard prescriptions of the "nose and throat"
specialists. For hay fever and those
other slighter forms of nasal sensitive
ness that induce a constant sneezing
there is no remedy more quickly pallia
tive and often curative than the vapor
of heated salt and alcohol.
Put b th in a tin vessel and heat over
a flame. When there is a good showing
of vapor place the vessel underneath a
covering that envelopes the head as well.
and inhale the vapir through lioth nose
and throat. For influenza and ordinary
colds this treatment is also excellent
Salt water baths are an excellent tonic;
taken warm they are delightfully re
freshing when one is boated or tired, and
taken cold they are the best preventive
in all the world of too great suscepti
bility to colds. One delicate woman who j
used to insist that she "caught cold on
coming into the world and had never
been without one since" became as in
different to damp and draughts as a
sailor after a year's trial of salt baths.
For those who have sensitive gums in
clined to bleed on the slightest provoca
tion, a mouth wash of salt and cold
water awl once or twice a day will har
den the gums and prevent soreness. As
salt Is a styptic any slight bleeding may
usually be checked by treating tho jart
with salt and water. Persons who havo
tender feet will find them growing much
less sensitive day by day if treated to a
daily brisk rubbing w ith cold salt and
water.
There is an old lielief that salt water
injures the hair, and a delightful old lady
once explained to the writer the reason
therefor.
"You see," she said, "tlie salt in the
water is stronger than the hair in your
head, and so the salt just draws the hair
right out. Assuming this to be true,
that salt water will draw the hair out of
the head when it isn't otherwise spe
cially inclined toward coming out.by good
homeopathic reasoning we come to the
conclusion that when the hair insists
up hi coming out of its own accord a
vigorous treating with salt and water
will put a stoji to it. Whether tlie rea
soning bo true or not, the fact is. Not
all the tonics you can buy at the hair
dresser's will do your hair half the good,
if it manifests a tendency toward falling
out, that a daily scalp bath of strong salt
and water will.
Besides all this, salt is good for the
stomach. A pinch of it in hot water,
taken either just before or just after a
meal, is a valuable aid to digestion, and
a cupful of very hot salt water will some
times quiet the most persistent nausea.
Anything more that salt will do? Yes,
the most grateful of all cure the tooth
ache sometimes. Will it really do that?
A little girl who was told to put some in
an aching tooth says so. "I just put in
a little salt, " she said, "and in a few
minutes I felt the naughty aching nerve
curl right down and go to sleep. "
But there is one caution toolfer. How
ever lieneficial the theraiieutic action of
salt may be, there is no question but salt
taken into the system with the food in
too great quantities is extremely harm
ful. It was the excessive use of salt,
quke as much as the nervous strain of
his campaign, that killed Horace Gree
ley, and there be those who dectore that
with many women the use of salt is
species of dissipation. Too much salt in
the system dries up the blood and the
healthv moisture of the membranous
eurf aces, and Is evidenced by a dead yel
low pallor of the skin, with a blanching
of the lins and cheeks and a morbid
craving for the condiment which noth
ing but its use in enormous quantities
will satisfy.

the Government, Harlan $130,000, Gray

amounted to $80,000 in cold casli. Each

Brttiiklng Up the Map.
If tins tiling keeps on, said a nnp
printer the other day, "we'll all hare to
go into bankruptcy. We hadn't pot our
United States maps fixed up with North
and South Dakota before the Brazil rev
olution knocked South America endwise,
and now Wyoming and Idaho axe turned
into States. Africa, has to be fixed over
every sfx months, and the latest and
most serious of all is in tins Gorman-En
glish arrangement to knock out Heligo-
land from the British empire. That ton t
a big change, but it is plenty big enough
to spoil all our maps of Europe. It would
almost pay the map makers to chip in

to make a present of it to England, and
