This will he distressing intelligence for the silver men, who are trying to frighten the country into the belief that the currency is Ueing contracted. Anarchists and socialists would d well to take note of the American voice this centennial year. The stars and stripes are good enough for Americans, and if th; off scourings of the old world wish to float any other they will have to go back home to do it. They don't be long upon this side of the Atlantic In ter Ocean. It is quite true as asserted by- an able contemporary, that there were three dan gers threatening this country a hundred years ago tlavery, secession and free- trade. Two of them have been forever removed, thanks to the loyal soldiers of the rebublic; and the third received a backset last November from which it ia not likely ever to recoyer, thanks te the intelligence and patriotism of the people who vote the republican ticket Globe Democrat. A prominent manufacturer remarked recently that he had advertised for yeais, but failed to appreciate the value of Lis "ad" and read the secret of its power. until he made aa extended trip west to risit old and seek new trade. Not until then did he do his "ad"' full justice. Hundreds of miles from home, in a land of strangers, he learned the silent yet potent influence of bis "atV in a trade journal. Ilis name and reputation had preceded him, and though a stranger, his "ad" was the "open 8?same" to many an otHce. To put it homely, though un acquainted with his face, they were ac quainted with his name. Harness. Ock Canadian neighbors who profts to be so greatly exasperate. over the action of this government in closing tl.e Behring sea against their prowling ee;il fisherman will gain nothing by indulging in threats. The United States will not c frightened from J.Ijs policy deemed nectsiry and proper in the circuiusi&ces by Canadian blmter, from whatevr Bourse it may proceed. The question of the exclusive jurisdiction of this country over Behring sea, by virtue of a treatj made with Kusia when Alaska was pur chased, will doubtless, in due time b. determined by an international conven tion, but meanwhile this government will insist upon its claim to such juris diction, and will maintain it, reardle? of Canadian opinion or menace. It could not open this sea to Canadian fisherman without permitting those of otln r countries to enter and this would mean the speedy destruction of the fisheries. No such folly is likely to oc cur under the present administration -Bee. That wai a noteworthy meeting of the Southern Manufacturers' Association held at Augusta, Ga., on the 1st inst., and President Lick man, in his opening ad dress, struck the keynote of industrial progress. He said: "We should control the markets of South America and Mexico, and to ac complish this end we should invoke gov ernment aid. Our flag should float over every bale of goods which leaves our ports. The British government, taking advantage of the supposed trouble be tween China and our government, will' the hope of prejudicing that country against our goods, has passed a law re quiring every piece of goods manu factured in this country and passing through England to China to be branded 'Manufactured in the United States of America.'' We would like to have our goods reach China without passing tl'rough England, and without use of English bottoms. Give us American ships. Let China see the American flng. If our government would lend a helping hand in placing our products in foreign land it would not be long before yon would see "manufactured in the United States of America" on goods made in Manchester, England. There is genuine patriotism as well as business sagacity in that kind of talk. Ice Ice Ice. We have started our Ire wagon and are ready to contract and deliver Ice in any quantity.

D. . METHODS OF KEEPERS WHO OPER ATE ON MENAGERIE TOOTHACHES. Pullluic the Hippo's Tooth with Illock and Tackle .Sponging Out the Mouth of m Ferocious Hyena Gratitude Displayed by the Wild Ileaats. There is a new profession. It is that of animal dentistry. The increased value of fine animals, as well as tho growing popularity of menageries, have called at tention to the importance of preserving tho health of tho more expensive mem bers of tho brute creation. A man who owns a $10,000 horse, a $1,000 dog, a $5,000 pig, or a $5,000 bull, is ready and glad to pay an animal den tist to euro some dental disorder which, if left alone, might seriously injure, if not kill, the suirerer. The case is equally strong with the showman who pays far up in tho thousands for lions, tigers, ele phants, hippopotami and rhinoceri. Tho treatment of domestic animals is of course familiar to all. They are so accustomed to look to man for the grati fication of their wants that it is not sur prising they undergo the pain of a den tal oieration without any greater resist ance than that shown by a little child or a very ignorant man. Tho most surpris ing thing is the conduct of the wild ani mals under similar circumstances. A BIO THING IN DENTISTRY. One very interesting Lnstanco was that of the unwieldly hippopotamus in Bar num's "greatest eIiow on earth." The animal seemed sick for at least a week and neglected its food to such an extent as to alarm its keeper, George Conklin. It groaned and showed deep distress day and night. Whenever Conklin ap proached the huge beast it opened its mouth and moved its tongue. At first the keeper thought that it was begging for an apple, a boiled onion or carrot. When it rejected the delicacies be threw into tho distended jaws, he concluded that it was sickness, and careless of tho risk examined the tusk like teeth. The hippo never moved during the ex amination until tho bad tooth was touched by the keeper's band. Then it groaned and licked the ivory with its tongue. Conklin, satisfied with his study, procured some aconite and sulphuric ether and a pair of powerful pincers, attached to a steel chain and tackle. He arranged the latter so that the rope passed over a heavy beam in the cage and then rubbed the gums of the giant brute around the painful spot with the anaesthetic until nearly all the sensation was destroyed. He then applied the pincers and screwed them down until ihey would lift a ton. The hippo scarcely moved during the operation. The only sijni of emotion it displayed seemed more of j-aiisfaction and relief than anything else. Conklin gave a sioal and the rope was violently pulled by the menagerie attendants. There was a sudden strain, a pause and then the great fang 6prung out of the jaw and dangled in the air overhead. The hippo gave a thunderous grunt, plunged into the tank and washed its rnouth until tho bleeding ceased. A n hour afterwards it was eating na turally. When Conkling approached it showed every symptom of gratitude 1 1 oiii endeavoring to rub its slimy head against liis body and wiggling jts funny little taiL The tooth was eight and a half inches long and was ulcerated near ly all the way from th bottom of the roots to the edge of the gum. A SLIVER IN HIS JAW. Another case which more strongly il lustrates the mastery of man over the am.ual jvorld was afforded by a fierce and very dangerous hypiia. II? was so ferocious that he attacked his mate in tho same page upon the smallest provo cation, end on one occasion tore pff the end of tho latter's nose. His keeper, though a veteran in the business, seldom ventured into the cage, and then did so only when armed and accompanied by in. fellow employes. One day in gnaw ing a very largo and bard bone, the hyena in crushing it, split it into splin ters, one of which pierced the jaw. So great is the muscular power of the brute's mouth that the splinter was driven down at least four inches Jixto the gum. The hyena did his best to get it out, but to no avail. Inflammation set in and within forty eight liours he was almost crazy with agony. The keeper in the meantime, at tracted by tho animal's constant roars and groans, had passed nearly all his time in front of the cage. On the third day the hyena became very weak and could hardly stand. Suddenly he craw led over to the bars and called the keeper, if using the same sounds they employ toward each other can be so termed. The keeper rose from his cage and went to the bars. As he neared them the hideous carnivore opened his mouth, revealing the terrible wound. Tho keeper, a rough and fearless man, prof ured a pair of very strong forceps and, calling his associates to stand around tho cage in case he was attacked, opened the door and sprang in. The hyena turned without growling, wagged its tail and again opened his mouth. The keeper took hold of the splinter and with a iowerful pull extracted it from the in flamed and swollen flesli. Then with, some lukewarm water he sponged out tho interior of the mouth. The hyena recovered entirely from the accident, but ever after displayed a warm friend chip for the valorous keeper. Lluns end tigers are subject to two troubles. One is the breaking of a small piece oft from a tooth and the formation of a sharp point or edge. Another, which is far less frequent, is the abnor mal growth of a tooth, especially a ca nine one, from not having enough bones to crunch and gnaw upon. The treat ment in both cases is the same. The great cat is "thrown down" and bound so that it can neither move nor inflict injury upon the attendants. The mouth is forced open and kept so by wooden wedges. The broken or overgrown tooth is then filed down, the former until it in round and smooth and the latter until it is normal size. Philadlphia Times. Ijomloii' Dliutbled Harm. Mr. V. IL Ross, secretary to Harrison & Barber, horso rfaughterers, told to a Pall Mall Gazette reporter tho other day that they liave seven slaughter bouses in tho metropolitan area, tho largest being that in tho York road, Camden town. They slaughtered 25.000 horses a year. When a horso broke a limb or sustained other irremediable injury on the street tho iolice at once communicated with their nearest depot. Tho company had frequently been charged with cruelty in allowing maimed horses to lie about for hours before sending men to end their Bufferings. The truth was they were very particular in this respect, and if 6uch delays occurred it was through no fault of theirs. Was horseflesh much used for food? Yes, to a considerable extent, he should say. Their charter did not allow of their selling horseflesh for food purposes, but there were such establishments in the city. He had himself eaten horseraeat in France, and at the company's annual dinner it was served to the guests, some of whom declared they would not have known it from beef, had they not been told. Fine fat horses were slaughtered every week, horses that were perfectly sound, except for 6ome accidental injury, and ho 6avv no reason why this flesh should not be eaten. He had often seen street gamins buy a 6lice of dried horse flesh, place it between two bits of bread, and eat it as a sandwichl Of course, most of the prepared horseflesh passed under the name of catsmeat, but it seemed incredible that the cats could consume it all. Every part of tho horse was put to some use flesh, hide, hair, hoofs and bones. Now that (and Mr. Ross held up a small vial of beautifully transparent oil) was horse oil. One would scarcely think such oil as that could be got from the horse. Those other bottles contain oils of inferior quality. They were used for lubricating purposes and for soap making. Most soaps nowadays contained horse grease. Armed with a cigar and an order from the secretary of the company, our re porter made his way to the premises in York road. Tho obliging manager said they had had only four horses in today. But alxut 7,800 were slaughtered here annually. Most of the animals were cab, 'bus or tram horses. The establish ment turned out about twenty tons of horseflesh every week. They had forty six dead and twenty-one live horses in now. They contracted with the various cab, 'bus and tram companies f p? injured horses at 80 shillings each, alive or dead. Most of the live horses they got in were injured internally by overwork or fall ing. A few were gone with congestion of tho lungs. The work of slaughtering went on day and night, there being two gangs of men for that purpose, Hocsc-o were killed at night by three "knack ers." Fifteen horses were considered a good night's work. The sufferings of tho poor brutes were soon at an end. as they were rendered insensible by ' blow from a heavy ax. Pall Mall Gazette. A Prophetic Dream. Some days before the late disaster at Samoa the wife of an officer at Mare Island awoke from her first sleep, trembling and in tears, and related to her husband a fearful dream experience. Sho thought she had been in her divam transported to the island of Samoa, from tho shores of the harbor of Apia looked upon the American pnd German fleets.' Suddenly a stoim 'arose, and the harbor was swept by a fierce tornado. Ship after phip went ashore, ant the spectators united in offering up prayers for tho preservation of the remaining vessels. Lastly the Vandalia and Tren ton dragged their anchors, and, as the former vessel was dashed upon the reef and almost immediately sank, Mrs. witnessed ' the death of Capt. Schoon- maker, Lieut. Sutton and Paymaster Amies, the three officers who were the victims of the actual disaster of March 10. The picture was so vivid and real that Mrs. for days was nervous and agi tated, thinking only of her dream, and relating it to others, always insisting that the vessels and friends so recently gone from Mare Island must certainly be exposed to some fearful peril, and when tho fictitious story of the sinking of tht Nipsic reached us she concluded this to bo the interpretation of her dream. The falsity of this fctory being proved, Mrs. was, of course, disposed to make bglit of her vision; but now comes a tale of disaster infinitely more sad than tho fiction which agitated our country for so many days an event corf esponding most closely with this apparently prophetic dream. ' In this Btory capable of perfect au thentication wo havo a good record for tho archives of the psychical seventy. Yallejo Times. A Ship in a Cyclone. What a Samoan hurricane is like and what chance a ship has whila at its mercy, may be imagined efter reading Abercromby's "Seas and Skies Jn Many Latitudes." He says: "Much has been written about han dling ships in hurricanes and elaborate maneuvers have been described which they are to perform near the center of typhoon. Many a ship has been saved by skillful sailing on the outskirts of a cyclone, and even after the characteris tic 6qualls and driving rain have begun. But when near the center sho gets in the kernel, as it were, of the hurricane, and the wind comes in great gusts which no canvas can withstand, when the roaring of the wind is so tremendous that no voice can be beard, when the sky and cloud and spindrift are mixed up in dislinguishably from one another in a general darkness, then it is as impossible to give an order as to obey it, and the sailor can only hope that her timbers may not open so as to spring a leak, and that her steering gear may hold sothafc sho may not broach to and be over whelmed by the waves."
