The number iva receive is Vol. No. 1. Tho paper was issued on Friday, January , 1888. It discusses the political riucs tions of the day, and in very newsy in ev ry way. Its heading is printed in red, and it shouts for llain. Aside from the commercial travelers there is really no popular demand for the two-cent fare. Farmers are not asking it. Business men are not asking it, and are satisfied with the present fares, and so arc-the people. What i wanted is legislation on freights, and all fair and possible reduction in them. Des Moines (Iowa,) Jifltistt-r. Tim tide has changed and the bank cashiers arc coming to the United States, this time it is the cashier of the Central Bank of Toronto. He has left the direc tors in a bad xhapc. It is a poor rule that won't work both ways, and if a few more cashiers will just step over to thi aide, the British government will be more ready to modify the extradition treaty. A statement of the relative wagess paid in a woolen mill employing 221 hands in Providence. H. I., and a mill of the same kind and size in Bradford, Eng., fehows over 100 per cent in' favor of the American operatives. It is by such figures as these that the arguments of the free traders in this country arc easily and con clusively refuted. When a workingman is asked to favor a policy which is thus plainly seen to imply less than half as much pay as he is now receiving, he can only be expected to shake his head, aud vote for protection every liuie. Globe Democrat. The free traders evidently believe that no luty was ever placed on coal until the Republican party came into power. Nevertheless the truth is, as every one knows who is acquainted with the subject at all, there has been nearly all the time an impost on coal, since July 4th, 1789, when the first tariff act was passed. From 1824 to 1843 it was $1.G8 a ton, and dur ing the war it ranged from $1 to $ 1.10 a ton, and since 1872 it has only been 75c. This reduction was made by the republi cans, and all this howl about coal being $2 a ton higher than it should be on ac count of the tariff, is nonsense, as the tariff is only 75 cents. TriE simple truth is that Mr. Cleve land's use of the offices has bound the democratic party hand and foot. In no other administration since the founda tion of the government have there been so many important appointments made. In no other have there bean half bo many. It would probably be within bounds to say that in no other adminis tration have their been one-fourth as many important changes in appointive ofiices as Mr. Cleveland has made. These changes have been made, not only with the purpose of fortifying tha democratic party against the return to power of the republican party, but also with the effect of fortifying Mr. Cleveland against all other possible democratic candidates in 1888. Minneapolis Tribune. Thk free trade editors in the west are indulging in a great deal of balderdash over what they are pleased to call th? "iniquitious' tariff on coal. It is thi tariff, says these editors, that causes the high price of coal in the west. The duty on coal is about $2 per ton and these editorial wiseacres would have the people believe that their coal would be just that much cheaper per ton if the duty is removed. The foreign coal comes from Nova Scotia. In no other part of Cai ada is it found in paying quantities. This coal must be shipped to Portland, Boston or New York, transferred from the bar ges to the railroad cars and then hauled the entire distance from tho Atlantic seaboard. Will any sensible man believe that coal will be $2 cheaper in Nebraska with the duty removed 1 Hardly. Oa eztte Journal. Begs's Blood Purifier and Blocd Maker.

Klein's Invetlcatlons. Several months ago Dr. Klein and Mr. W. II. Power, of tho medical depart ment cf tho government board, estab lished tho relation Ijetween a disease found on the udders of some cows at Ilendon and scarlatina. The cow disease was not itself warlatina, but by cultiva tion of tho organisms obtained from cows tho sjecilic micrococcus of scar latina was produced. Moreover, this cultivation was made in milk, and it was the milk of the affected cows that caused tho warlutina epidemic which gave rise to the inquiry. Then it was proved that tho virus of the cow disease, if conveyed into tho human ldy by the medium of milk, develoiKd there into the germ of scarlatina; although liotweeii tho cow disease itself and scarlatina there is almost every jossible difference. This discovery suggested to Dr. Klein a further question. Ho had shown that the cow disease could set up scarlatina in tho human subject; he would now find out whether the scarlatina germ was ca pable of producing tho cow disease. From a number of patients in tho Fulham fever hospital Dr. Klein took minute quantities of blood. These were placed in tiny tubes and transferred to tho surface of nutri tive gelatine. In the result ho obtained clear evidence that in some of his experi ments the blood contained organisms. In other cases no positive results whatever were obtained. But in four cases out of nine tho specilic organism was detected, and tho organism so recovered from tho blood of scarlatina patients was fouud to be exactly the same as has been cultivated from the virus taken from tho teats of the Ilendon cows. Dr. Klein does not hesitate to name this organism the mi crococcus scarlatina, as having a special character and a definite mode of exist ence. Tho next question was whether, itself capable of being cultivated from the cow disease, it was capable of being transformed back into tho virus of that disease. With a. subculture of micrococcus scar latina?, derived from scarlet fever in a human being, Dr. Klein inoculated two calves. The first was killed after ten days, and from blood taken from it a growth was derived identical with tho micrococcus scarlatina. The second calf was killed after twenty days with tho same results. In both animals, an iden tical disease had been produced. Subse quently two calves were fed with milk mixed with the growth from several tubes of the same date and tho same source as used for tho other calves, and again the identical disease was produced, this diseaso bearing a great resemblance to that observed in the Hendon cows, exGcpt that there was no affection of tho skin. But threo out of four calves two of which were inoculated and two fed wcro differently affected. Sore patches appeared, and the 6kin became scurfy, and on each nostril of one of them there was a patch of eruption, which decided the matter. From these skins eruptions were obtained "beautiful chains of cocci" coinciding with those developed from the virus of the cows. The circle was thus completed. A cow disease which is not scarlatina, nor anything like scarlatina, causes the animal to have 6ore teats. Tho exuda tions find their way into the milk pail, and there develop into something which infects human beings with scarlatina. From the scarlet fever patient a few drops of blood aro (taken, and after the disease germ has been cultivated it is passed into the system of a calf, which forthwith be comes attacked by the identical disease observed in the original cow. But this is not all, A case of suspected condensed milk was brought under Dr. Klein's notice. Scarlatina had broken out and could be traced to no other source. Sure enough, the micrococcus scarlatinas was found in the milk, and experiments with it on animals yielded exactly the same results as before. Again, last January a monkey died at Wimbledon of scarlatina contracted by drinking the milk of cows among which there prevailed a disease similar to that at the Ilendon farm. Microscopic examination of the internal organs of the monkey revealed the same changes as occur in these organs in human scarlatina, and in the blood the scarlatina micrococcus was found. By means of this micrococcus tho Ilendon disease was again induced in animal?. Dr. Klein may therefore claim to have discovered a hitherto unsuspected cause of scarlatina, in the form of a little noticed and less understood cow disease quite distinct from the dreaded malady which after certain developments of its germ it produces in man. St. James' Gazette. Cod Fishing as a Sport. A traveler on Cape Breton Island says thot cod fishing is anything but an ex hilarating sport. He thinks the following is a very good imitation of it : Attach a thirty pound dumb bell to a thin line, about 100 feet in length, and throw it overboard. Pay out line until the bottom has been touched, wait a minute or two, and then pull up the line as rapidly as possible until the dumb bell has reached the gum ale of the boat. At this stage of the proceedings drop dumb bell and all into the water again, and repeat the process ad libitum. Be sure to get your self thoroughly wet from the line, or wear malodorous, second hand oilskins, and have your hands blistered in as many places as convenient. Meanwhile imagine that you are excited over something, and the whole performance will closely re semble cod fishing. Chicago News. Methods of Advertising. Ingenuity is now expended in selection of places and startling lettering. As soon as a new building on one of the city streets reaches the stage of growth that requires it to lc fenced in for tho protec tion of passers by, the advertising locusts descend upon the owner and bid for the privilege of using the screen for adver tising purjoses. Vacant lots arc filled out with big sign fences, and space is sold to advertisers and their signs painted on. New York Grapluc. Death by Drowning. The doctors differ in their opinion as to tho time at which death comes in drowning. Some say in three minutes, others in five, but none set a longer time than this, except the drowning person faints, when respiration and animation cease. -Youth's Companion. THE VIRTUES OF LAUGHTER. Country Schoolboys Turned Looie Lau j;h inn All Ovor fthoutlng- Happy. Now go to a school house in the coun try where the youngsters are let loose pell mell. Out they come with a rush, and every throat is doing its utmost to add to an uproar of sounds. Part of it is a bedlain of words, part a pure set of yelps like my dog. They run liither and thither, and stand on one leg. They turn handsprings, and do a dozen impulsive things that have no other purpose than to express happiness. I do not think it is any disgrace to the chaps so say it is an overllow of animal spirits, and in a way very much as my dog expresses himself. I should lie glad if my own condition could lie more generally of the same sort. Only there is no denying that if lys be allowiil to shout as they will they become shocking nuisances. Yes, young gents, you are a legitimate product of vitality, but one can't let you shout tho top of his head off. On the whole, if they will let you loose, 3011 will soon run quiet. Boys are a good deal like srouting geysers noisy and quiet by turns. But if we had never outgrown this boy eriod, and could get on without philosophizing, and printing, and editing newspaiers, and doing so many other exhausting things! Ah, yes if. But we did not stop at the right point, but went on into what we call rie years. There lias been too much evolution. We should liave been satisfied at the shouting happy point. The object of language of all sorts seems to be to express satisfaction or dis tress, joy or grief. Far buck of primi tive man, indeed at the very origin of life, there was some method of express ing satisfaction and dissatisfaction. When tho head was established and vocaliza tion achieved a great deal of language was left distributed all over the body. When a person is thoroughly happy tho tongue is altogether insufficient to tell of it. Laughter is a remnant of the old sort of language, only we have a facial laugh ter that often supersedes a real aU over laughter. But I know a few men who always laugh from top to toe. Ihcre is the shaking laugh, that is likened to the quiver in a bowl of good, thick set jelly. When it begins it goes in ripples from side to side, and perpetual motion seems absolutely to have set in. And there is the roaring laughter that throws the practitioner into convulsions until lit must hold his sides and gasp for breath. A really good Inugher is a healthy man. I have seen many a patient cured by a good story. I have in mmd oner who was in a despondent melancholy that had brooded over him for weeks. A cat had nestled by his side, and he involuntarily had stroked it. Pussy turned up her nose to touch liis hand, when a flash of electricity leaped from it, and pussy was both shocked, confounded and insulted. Drawing back in great dignity, and with an appearance of vast intellectual amaze ment, she gave him two cuffs of a de cided sort and stalked off. The man in stantly broke into a laugh, and, as ho ex pressed it, "couldn't stop." His whole system reacted from depression. He laughed till ho was sore; and was cured. Of course there Is liable to be a touch of tho hysterical about such a break up; but it will do no harm. I recommend laugh ter as a preventive against disease, and as a cure for illness of both body and mind. Children should be encouraged to laughter. They should be taught to laugh loudly, strongly and all over. Laughing can become a matter of educa tion as well as talking or singing. Have them stand up, with their hand on their hips, and begin. It is a capital exercise. You need only start the roar. It is catching. As soon as one urchin has ex ploded the rest will be at it. It will run up and down the line, and you will end by having all your pupils on their backs, shouting liappy. So if you aslf me what I consider most essential to health, vigor and longevity, I answer a plenty of laughter and a plenty of shouting. Wo should never check children from a reasonable amount of noise making, and never got beyond it oui-selves. If possible have some place, a grove or, if no better, a barn, where you can shout as loudly as you please and blow out good full draughts of the purest air. We ought never to get beyond play. A good game of quoits, or tennis, has half its advantage in letting our lungs have f uli play. We can laugh as loudly as we please and shout with the young folks. Nearly all old age is folly, a use less drying up, owing to false notions of manhood and propriety, Mark this, my friend, don't outgrow the shouting liappy point. M. Maurice, M. D., iu Glolje Democrat. Tho Food Question. The subject of food has never yet re ceived a common sense consideration. There is no doubt but a vast amount of wholesome food products are yet over looked. During the grasshopper in vasion it was proved by Professor Riley and some of our normal school teachers that such creatures may serve as an ex cellent article of food, yet the people preferred semi-starvation to even tasting them. Snails are luxuries in France. It was long before frogs found a market in this country. Mr. Wallace tells us cgg3 are never eaten by Pacific Islanders. Strawberries are rejected by some of the tropical races. Esquimaux reject all vegetable food. The people of New Guinea pronounce bread a detestable affair. Milk is used very little in some of our southern states, as it is seldom tasted by tribes in Africa that keep large herds. One tribe in New Guinea abhors sugar, but devours salt. Snakes are an article of diet quite largely in Asia. Globe-Democrat. Durability of Gutta Percha. As illustrating the durability of gutta percha, there was recently shown a speci men of it that had laid immersed in water l?tween Blackwell's island and New York for a period of thirty-seven years, and is still in first class condition. The only indication of wear on the gutta percha is where it rubbed against the rocks on tlie bottom of the river, and that is very slight. Another specimen is of a ten conductor gutta percha insulated underground cable, which was recently taken from tho grounds around tho Capitol at Washington, where it was laid in 1873. Tho cable of which this is a section is still working, and the specimen gives every indication of being as good as when first put down, fourteen, years ago. Frank Leslie's. Who MuLo t'.io ::nt Kuiloro. Tho American able seaman is a tiling of the past. Indeed, ho isn't wanted. His veiy Americanism places him nt a disadvantage in seeking a berth. He is not a good subordinate. And ho knows too much for his own good. The best sailors, from the masters' standpoint, are Scandinavians, Norwegians, Swedes and Dutchmen. Italians and Frenchmen are in more demand i:i the winter for southern voyage;;, as being In tier acclimated, but at other times are not preferred. Negroes do not mako the Le.-it sailors, but Mil useful iu tho cabin, and there aro usui'ily two or three altoaid every ship. But the best seamen are rarely anything more. The men who rise to l.e officers aro almost always Americana, English men or Germans. Edwin At well. Starvation Among tho Eskimo. When the food supply of the Eskimo village is reduced to that point whero physical weakness ensues among the memliers, the distribution of i. among the people is 110 longer equal. The good, able Ixxlied hunters among them btill re ceive from the amount enough to keep them in strength, and when this is no longer sufficient to go around among all of them, the letter of these even yet aro on full rations, until it gets down to tho best hunter, who is kept in good physical condition until the last morsel di:ap- tears.
