THE GRAND OLD MAN.
I have just been reading James Whit
comb Hiley's respond to "The Old
Man" at the annual dinner of the In
dianapolis Literary Club, and his refer
ence to Methuselah lias awakened in
' my mind many recollections and ronii-
niscences of that grand old man. Wo
1 first meet Methuselah in the capacity of
a son. At tho agj of sixty-live Enoch
arose one night and telephoned his
family physician to come over and as
sist him in meeting Methuselah. Day
at last dawned on Knoeh's happy home,
and its first red rays lit up the still red
der surface of tho little stranger. For
three hundred years Enoch and Methu
selah jogged along together in the ca
pacity of father and son. Then Enoch
was suddenly cut down. It was at this
time that little Methuselah first realized
what it was to be an orphan. He could
not at first realize that his father was
dead. Ho could not understand why
Enoch, with no inherited disease,
should bo shuffled out at tho age of
three hundred and sixtv-livo years.
But tho doctor said to Methuselah, "My
son, you are indeed fatherless. 1 have
done all i could, but it is useless. 1
had told Enoch many a tinio that if he
went in swimming beforo tho ieo was
out of tho creek, it would finally down
him. but ho thought lie knew better
than I did. He was a headstrong man,
Enoch was. Ho sneered at mo and al
luded to me as a fresh young gosling,
because he was 300 years older than I
was. ilo has received the reward of
the wilful, and verily the doom of tho
smart Aleck is his."
Methuselah now cast about him for
some occupation which would take up
his attention and assuage his wild, pas
sionato grief over the loss of his father.
Ho entered into tho walks of men and
learned their ways. It was at this time
that ho learned tho pernicious habit of
using tobacco. We cannot wonder at
it when wo remember that lie wa now
fatherless. lie was at the mercy of tho
coarse, rough world. Possibly lie learn
ed to use tobacco when lie went away
to attend business college after the
doath of his father. Ho that as-it may,
tho noxious weed certainly hastened his
death, for COO years after this we find
him a corpse!
Doath is ever a surprise, even at the
ond of a long illness and after a ripe old
age. To those who aro near, it seems
abrupt; so to his grandchildren, some
of whom survived him, his children
having died of old age, tho death of
Methusalch came like a thunderbolt
from a clear sky.
Methuselah succeeded in cording up
inoio of a record, such as it was, than
any other man of whom history informs
us. Tune, tho tomb-builder and ama
teur mower, caino and leaned over tho
front yard and looked at Methushlah,
and ran his thumb over the jagged edge
of his scythe, and went away whistling
a low refrain, lie kept up this refrain
business for nearly ten centuries, while
Methuselah continued to stand out
amid tho general wreck of men and na
tions. Even as the young strong mower go
ing forth with his mower for to mow
spareth the tall and dignified drab hor
net's nest and passoth by on the other
side, so Time, with his Watcrbury
hourglass and his overworked hay
knife over his shoulder, and his long
Mormon whiskers, and his high, sleek
dome of though!, with its gray lam
brequin of hair around the base of it,
mowed all around Mothuicla and then
passed on.
Methuselah decorated the graves. of
tlioso who perished in a dozen dillerent
wars, lie did not enlist himself, for
over 900 years of his life lie was ex
empt, lie would go to tho enlisting
placo and oiler his services, and tho
officer would toll him to go homo and
encourage his grandchildren to go.
Then Methuselah would sit around
Noah's front steps and smoke and cri
tise tho conduct of tho war, also tho
conduct of the enemy.
It is said of Methuselah that ho never
was tho same man after his son Lainech
died. He was greatly attached to La
niech. and when ho woko up ono night
to find his sou purple in tho face with
membraneous croup, ho could hardly
roal.zo that ho might lose him. The
idea of losing a boy who had just
rounded the glorious morn of his 777th
year, had never occurred to him. Hut
death loves a shining mark, and he gar
nered lit l lo Lammie and left Methuse
lah to moan and mourn on for a couplo
of more centuries without him.
Methuselah finally got so that ho
couldn't sleep any after four o'clock in
tho morning, and lie didn't ee how
any one else could. Tho older lie got.
and tho less valuable his tinio became,
tho earlier he would rise, so that ho
could got an early start. As tho con
turies filed slowly by, and Methuselah
got whero all ho liad'to do was to shuf
!le into liis loose-littingclothes, and rest
his gums on tho top of a sleok-headed
cano and mutter up tho chimney, and
thou groan and extricate himself from
his clothes again and retire. Ho rose
earlier and earlier in the morning, and
muttered more and moro about tho
young folks sleoiing away iv) l est of
tlio day, anil sa'ui ho Iiail no doubt hut
that .sleeping and snoring till breakfast
tinio helped to carry oft' Lain. Hut one
day old rat hor Tinio caino along with
a now scythe, and ho drew the whot
stono across it a few times, and rolled
tho slcovos of h'n red llannol undergar
ment up over his warty elbows, and
Mr. Methuselah passed on to that un
discovered country with a ripo exper
ience and a long, clean record.
Wo can almost fancy how tho physi
cians, who hail disagreed about his case-
all the way through, came and insisted
' on a post mortem examination to prove
which was right and what was really
tho matter with him. Wo can imagine
how peoplo went by shaking their heads
and regretting that Methuselah should
havo tampered with tobacco when ho
know that it atlectod his heart.
Hut ho is gou. Uo lived to sco his
own promissory notes rise, llourish. no-
iiirn interest, pine away at last, and
lmally outlaw. Ho acquired u largo i
farm in tho very hoart of tho comity
boat, and refused to move or to plot it

Nervous Cough.

lent cough, and yet the hums, bronchial
tubes and larynx bo in a perfectly nor
mal condition.
bays Flint: "In most of the eases of
this kind which I have seen, the cough
has had a peculiar barking tone, am
the pitch lias been low, showing that
the glottis was dilated at tho instant of
coughing. In some cases, however, tho
tone is shrill and the quality of the
sound croupal, showing spasm of the
glottis. In a ease recently under ob
sorvauon, tne eougn consisted ot a mii-
rle. short, hoarse bark, often repeated
several limes a minute, it is some
times in paroxysms, having a reseni
bianco to those of whooping cough.
ino peculiar sound ot the eou-rli. to
gether with its frequent recurrence, and
sometimes its violence, renders it dis
tressing to those whoso sympaties aro
excited, and annoying to others. "
It is mostly confined to females of
hysterical tendencies. It may be in
duced by voluntary irritation. A school
for girls was oneo broken up by it
Ihe slightest changes of temperature
excite it, as do also penetrating odors.
It is constantly attended by sneezing
and snuffling.
Shadewald, who has recently given it
special attention, found it could bn pro
duced oy gentlv touching a certain
point within the nostrils. 'J his point is
the termination ot one of tho filaments
of the trigeminal (or trifacial) nerve.
and it is to its irritation that Sliadewald
regards this cough as due. Hence he
calls it the trigeminal cough.
It bears a striking resemblance to
nervous asthma, and tho latter is now
thought to be the most pronounced form
of trigeminal cough, with its seat with
in tho nostrils. Haniilications of the tri
geminal go to the pharynx (tho bael
part of the mouth,) and also to a por
tion of the ear, ami hence this cough
may sometimes bo duo to trigeminal ir
ritation of these parts; but it is most
frequently met with from irritation ot
tlie nerve within tho nostrils.
Ul course, no treatment directed to
tho throat or lungs will be of any avail,
and its persistance against all ordinary
remedies may cause the gravest fears.
Hut the peculiar barking (one of tho
cough and a certain nervous character
of the patient may suggest its real na
ture. The medical attendant should at onco
suspect its trigeminal origin, if lie fa. Is
to find any organic explanation of it.
All treatment should b.' directed to the
nasal nerve, and the main object should
bo to lessen its undue exc lability.
Galvanism is warmly recommended.
Cauterization is often utVectual, and so,
for a time, is a slight bleeding of the
parts. The copious secretion to which
iodide of potassium, administered inter
nally, gives rise is helpful, by washing
out tho irritating particles. In lighter
cases, this and the inhaling of vapor
aro often sufficient. youth's Compan

earlier half of this century that one of
the great music publishers of Loudon
told me, when ho took tho business
from his f.itln r. the most valuable part
of their stock was Hoxa's harp music.
However, the inexorable tyrant fashion
lias driven it out of the scion, and very
nearly out of the concert-room, to be
replaced by that other universal tyrant
the piano, "which in ills turn will proba
bly havo to give way to some other fav
orite of tho capricious goddess. The
guitar, which now occupies us as bjing
ono of the preferred instruments of
raganini, is, in my humble idea, of tho
most ancient origin. Wo find in thai
oldest of all records, tho Old Testament,
Jubal, "tho father of all those who
made music," was tho inventor of an
instrument called kinuor or kinra.
This instrument, called in Arab kisra
or kitra, 1 have seen engraved on two
Jewish coins in the Hritish inns inn,
and thorn it resembles an iiistruiiiJiit in
olden times in use with a South Afri
can tribe (tho Berbers.) Niebuhr,
the famous llornian decipherer of
hieroglyphs, describes it in his jour
ney tlirough Syr' a. However that
may no, uio Aruoi having made uiai
kitra their portable musical companion,
tho Moors brought it to Spain, and
there it was called kittara. If you com
pare to this what you might call a gui

pendicular guitar for those harps had
neither tho power nor tho tone of our
Erard's doublo-actlon harps and if you
look at one of those ancient instr.i
nients, tho Dalway harp, exhibited in
South Kensington in 187-', inscribed
"Ego sum Hogina Cithuraruiu" (tho
same word), 1021 in fact, if you take
tho whole family of these pinohed-string
instruments together, the guitar does,
1 vonturo to suppose, really come from
tho Syrian kinra (Srian and Hebrew
aio not very dillbrent from each other),
so that tho guitar seems to bo ono of
tho most anoiout instrumonts known.
