 CARIGNANO CARISBROOKE 789 cate a constitutional disturbance other and greater than could be accounted for by the lo- cal trouble. The prognosis would depend on the cause and situation of the disease, and the age, constitution, and civil condition of the pa- tient. Though nature might in many cases effect a cure, the process would usually be tedious, and assistance on the part of the sur- geon be necessary. Good food and air, proper exercise, and perhaps cod-liver oil, iron, and quinine, form the appropriate general treat- ment. Locally, mechanical support to coun- teract deformity and prevent the pressure of one ulcerated surface upon another, the judi- cious opening of abscesses, injections along the abscess tracks to induce a more healthy action, and finally, where practicable, the removal of the diseased parts, are indicated. CARIGNANO, or Carlguan, a town of Italy, on the Po, in the province and 10 m. S. of Turin ; pop. about 8,000. It is noted for its manufac- tures of silk twist and confectionery. It has several fine churches. Oarignano was acquired by the house of Savoy early in the 15th cen- tury, and Duke Charles Emanuel I. gave it in 1630 as an apanage to his youngest son, Tom- maso. This prince became the founder of the younger line of Savoy, which in 1831 ascended the throne of Sardinia with Charles Albert, and is now the royal house of Italy. A branch of this family received in 1834 the title of princes of Savoy-Carignan. CARINI, a town of Sicily, in the province and 10 m. W. N. W. of Palermo ; pop. about 10,000. It is beautifully situated on a small river of the same name, standing on a steep eminence about 3 m. from the sea, and has a fine old Gothic castle. Near it are vestiges of the ancient Hyccara, the birthplace of Lais. milvrillA (Ger. Kdmthen), a duchy in the Cisleithan half of the Austro-Hnngarian monarchy, bounded N. by Salzburg and Styria, E. by Styria, S. by Carniola and Italy, and W. by Tyrol; area, 4,006 sq. m. ; pop. in 1871, 337,694, of whom 69 per cent, were Germans and 31 per cent. Slovens, the latter living mostly S. of the Drave. It is a mountainous tract of country, the highest point being the Grossglock- ner, 12,776 ft. The Drave is its principal river, and the lake of Klagenf urt or Worth-See the only considerable lake. There are some manufac- tures, and a considerable trade in grain and cattle, but the principal wealth of the country is mineral. It produces annually about 1,340,- 000 cwt. of raw and cast iron, 72,000 of lead, and 20,000 of zinc. The total value of the min- eral products is 6,300,000 fl. The industry is almost confined to the manufacture of metals, especially iron ware. The diet consists of the Landeshauptmann, the bishop of Gurk, and 27 delegates. Capital, Klagenfurt. CABINCS, Marens Anrellns, the elder of the two sons of the Roman emperor Carus, who con- jointly succeeded to the throne in 283. The younger, Numerian, was supposed to have been murdered on his return from the East, and Carinus, ruling alone, became one of the most profligate and cruel of the Roman emperors. The soldiers having rebelled and proclaimed Diocletian, Carinus marched into Moasia to quell the revolt. In 285 a decisive battle was fought near Margum, in which Carinus gained the victory ; but in the moment of triumph he was slain by one of his own officers, whose wife he had sednced. CARIPE, a town and valley of Venezuela, 40 m. S. E. of Cumana. The valley is noted for a cavern frequented by a species of night hawk (caprimulffwi), the young of which are annually destroyed in great numbers for the sake of their fat, of which excellent oil is made. The cave is of limestone formation, 2,800 ft. deep, and for some distance 60 to 70 ft. high. Hum- boldt visited and described this cavern. The town is the principal station of the Chayma In- dian missions. IARISBROOKK, an agricultural village, once a thriving market town, of the isle of Wight, England, situated at the foot of a hill, near the centre of the island, in a parish of its own name, 1 m. S. of Newport; pop. of the parish about 8,000. Under the independent lords of Wight it was the capital of the island, and af- terward became the residence of the governor, who occupies a handsome mansion within the precincts of a ruined castle of great antiquity, crowning the hill back of the village. This castle is supposed to have been founded before Carisbrooke Castle. the Roman invasion ; was taken by Cerdic, the Saxon, in 530 ; enlarged by William Fitzos- borne, a relative of William the Conqueror, and first lord of Wight, in the llth century; and after many additions completed in the time of Elizabeth, when it covered an area of 20 acres. It has a well 200 ft. deep. It was the place of confinement of Charles I. after his removal from Hampton Court, and a window is pointed out by which the royal captive made a fruitless attempt to escape. After his execution it be- came the prison of his two youngest children, the duke of Gloucester and the princess Eliza- beth, the latter of whom died here. A ruined Cistercian priory, founded by Fitzosborne, oc- cupies an eminence opposite the castle. The priory church is now parochial, and the other
