THE DAILY BEE OMAHA , FRIDAY , JANUARY 18 , 183J. Palo , Poor , Puny , and Patlfd. Considering all the ills that attach littlu children , it is a wonder that any of the poor little youngsters live to grow up. There arc children who arc truly objects of pity. . They scent almost bloodless. Their cheeks are thin and pinched ; their eyes arc hollow ; and their skin 13 tightly Irawn over their foreheads. There i : ; nothing hearty about them. They do not enjoy their lives. They are buffering from the debility that leads to marasmus. Poor things I Do a good deed for the pale , poor , puny , pallid child. 1 land its mother u bottle of flrown's Iron flitters. Here is life even for the most deli cate , the most debilitated ; for the child almost ( riven tip for dead. Iron in the blood is what the child needs , to bring it up. The little digestive apparatus will recover. The pale checks will fill out. The weary groan of the child will be exchanged lor the merry prattle of infantile glad ness. Your dmggist will tell you what wonders ftrowrfs Iron flitters has done for very sick children , n Oil i : . C. WIIST'H Ninvr.

New York Trllmn * . "Docidcdly watches nro queer things , " said D. II. llonkinson , of The Jeweller's Circular , seated in the easy chair of his editorial sanctuary. "Thoy possess some unaccountable peculiarities , ' 'or in. stance , nome titno about the beginning of last summer , when thcro had boon n suc cession of line displays of the Aurora bproalis , it was estimated that in n single night in the city of Now York the main , springs of not losi than three thousand watches broke This estimate is bsood on actual inquiries. Fine sensitive watches are particularly liable to bo affected by electrical atmospheric disturbances. Dur ing the months of Juno , July , and Au gust , when these phenomena nro most frequent , there nta moro main-springs broken than during nil the remaining months of the year. They break in n \ arioty of ways , sometimes snapping into ns many ns twenty-seven pieces. "It isti fact that since the introduction of the electric light 1ms bocoma so gener al n largo number of watches Home of them very line ones have become mng- notiyed. While in this condition they are usolcss ns timekeepers. This defect used to ho considered incurable , nnd , be cause of it thousands of watches have been thrown away after much money had been spent on them in vain nttompta to porauado them to keep good timo. Among the methods resorted to were washing the parts in garlic juicorollnish- ing , and passing them through the iiro. But nil these devices were entire failures or only in part effective. I * know of a man who had n fine und valuable move ment -which kept excellent timo. lie transferred it from a silver CHSO to n Hccond-hnnd gold ono. Immediately it lost nil its chnrnctcristica of steadiness and reliability , nnd , in fact , did not keep time at all. When replaced in the silver caao it kept good time again. The jewel er , puzzled hinsolf nnd experimented in vain to discover the cause of this tttrango partiality on the part of his watch for sil ver. At length , ho sent , it to an expert. Ho discovered that the lifting-spring of the gold case had become magnetized. On substituting another for it the watch kept as good time in tlio gold case as in the silver caso. "Thcro nro cases when it is n very serious - rious matter to have your watch magne tized. The most striking instance in point is ono which lately came underjmy notice. Capt. W. II. Smith commands the steamer Dolowaro , which plies be tween Novr York nnd Now London. Before - fore putting to oa on n recent voyage ho was invited to inspect an electric light dynamo machine , nnd examined the parts closely. Soon after getting on board the steamer he observed that the compas bo- catno strangely affected when ho p- proachcd it. Whether ho stood on the right or loft , or immediately in front of the compass , the needle would invariably point to him. The compass was worse than useless when ho came near it. It waa dangerous nnd might wreck the ship. You can imagine that this phenomenon alarmed and puzzled Cnpt. Smith not a little. At llougth ho recalled his visit to the dynamo machine , and the true solu tion of the eccentric behavior of the ncodlo Hashed upon him. His watch had become magnetized. When ho removed it the noodle resumed its constancy to the polar star. On his return to the city ho took the watch to Mathoy Bros. & Mathoy , who demagnetised it for him. This firm has invented some machine the mechanism of which is n secret , by which they demagnetize n magnetized watch speedily und effectually. They got watches sent them from all parts of the world to bo thus treated. "Wntchcfl freqqontly got magnetized in iron mines or in machine-shops , ffhoro they are incautiously brought near swift ly-running bolts. I know a workman who used to hang his wutch between thu parts gf a , running bolt , JJo expended a small fortune eli main-springs. "It is a well-known fact nmoiiK horo- legists that no wntoh will keep the same irith two people. The cause has not yet H'en dofnmtcly ascorained , but it would icoin that in some mysterious way a watch is affected by the temperature of : no wearer. The moro phyaic.il diljorinco in f.iiit and movement between different [ > ooplo is not sullicient to account for all ho variations that have boon observed.

The Post ( Dem ) in considering the claim of certain Ohio democrats that Air. Payne will bo the nominco of the national convention of the party , says : _ It has boon boasting * ly said by the friends of Air. Payne , Standard Oil nonator-elect from Ohio , that only four years ago in the Cincinnati convention ho developed greater strength as a presidential candidate than any other Ohio man , although ho did not receive a single vote from his own state. It will doubtless now bo urged in his behalf as rm Ohio man , and Air. 1'ondlo- ton's successor in the senate , that his chances for n presidential nomination have been indefinitely multiplied. It is true that upon the first ballot in the Cin- cinati convention , Air. P.ijno received eighty-one votes , of which Eovonty wore cast by the state of Now York ( which flopped over on the second ballot to Air. Randall , nix by Nebianka , two each by Connecticut und Iowa , and ono by Michi gan. Ohio , which had not at that time sold herself out to the Standard Oil com pany , gave her forty-four votes to Allen G. Thurman , th'u friend of the people and the fee of motiHpolios , Mr. P.iyno's lumo was thereupon with drawn. The strength uhich ho hadjdovel- oped was of u factitious character , with neither substance nor influence. But now wo are told that the SUndard Oil company , having laid its pipes so success fully as to capture a democratic majority of the Ohio legislature , is in a position to dictate terms instead of anking favors , and that Henry B. Payne has been ' b'rought to thu front by ouch an indorse ment and with tuch cmiBp cuous promin ence as to give his presidential aspirations an ovorbluduwnig and commanding height. Judging by the manner in which the nowB of Air. Payne's nomination has boon rece'ved ' by the democrats of the country outside of Ohio , they neither share in thin belief nor have any fears of its realization. Wo can conceive of cir cumstances under which the nomination of Air. Payne would have given him something of the strength and position which will now bo claimed for him by his partisan adherents , but they are not the circumstances of the late senatorial caucus at Columbus. A nomination which cut the democratic party of Ohio adrift from its legitimate moorings and sacrificed ono of the truest roprufontattvca of its princi ples to the personal malevolence of a dm- roptuitblo ring at Cincinnati and to the gruud of a gigantic corporation at Clovo- laud will not bu likely to advance the beneficiary of tlmt nomination to the confidence and support of the national democracy for the office in their gift. They can not take thu matt- without taking the recreancy to principle which hu represents , and the democratic party of thin country is not prepared to put on the yoke which the Ohio democracy have so cringingly and coruptly consented to wear. Mr. Payne may have possessed the strength of uighiy-ono votes at Cin cinnati , but ho will find that in the dem ocratic national convention , to bo held this summer , thu efficacy of Standard Oil stock will bo oven less potential than it thou.

SIGHTS IN JAVA ; An American Circus The Upas Tree The Cor. New Or'cam Times Democrat Probably the most interesting thing I saw in Java was an American circus , and it was curious to BOO the crowds ofAIulays and Chinese as eager to catch a glimpse of the lion or to get a seat nozt the ring as the average American small boy. It was American in every respect , and I believe they are gutting to bu an institu tion uf our country. To get a warm re ception anywhere all thu manager has to do is to advertise it aa auch ; draw attention tion to the bareback riders all as Alias Emma , or some such good English name , instead of Alllo. Luciu do la Vure , its is the custom with us , and that Sam John son , the great American negro lion tamer , will give an entertainment with his live tame lions captured in the wilds yf Mis souri. Yes , the American circus is gain ing a world-wide reputation , and oven here in Bntuvia waa the excitement of the week. Ja\a is the homo of the upas trees , and as it is only recently that true scientific explanations have been given uf them , prjbably ono theory may bo interesting. Wonderful stories were told about the volleys whoio they grow. No living creature wuu able to live an instant ex posed to its elfucta , and even birds in Hying over would drop dead , so that the whole valleys were covered with their skeletons. When scientific men first be gan to inquire into it , they could only with the greatest difficulty induce the natives to accompany them to the spots , with such dread and superstition were they held. A peculiar feature in the earthquakes in thiapartof the world soon solved the problem and exploded thu theory as to the trees themselves. It was found that at certain times the sulphur ous vapors and noxious gases escaping through the cracks in the earth in these valleys were so dense and poisonous as to bo destructive to animal lifo , and at such times had so atl'octcd the natives thit they had retained the memory of such places and avoided them forever afterward. No evil effects were experi enced by these who traversed the valleys though there was unmistakable evidence that at periudio intervals they were deservingly - sorvingly to bo avoided. I can not close without a last word about thu earthquakes. I was in Batavia only a week from the time they happened and from what I saw 1 must say that the newspaper accounts at homo were very much exaggerated , The destruction was great enough when it happened , but why extend it to Batavia iUulf , when , save for a few ashes that feel harmlessly around , and for a tidal wave tliat throw down a few hundred yards of breakwater , they were perfectly eusuro. According to soono of the papers at homo it was totally destroyed , whereas I think the city was never in a raoro healthy or enter prising condition , and hoard loss of the earthquake than the people at home.

The census returns nhow that in 1880 thcro were 9,000,000 dwollinghouscs that is to say , 9,000,000 homos and if the increase - crease in thu whole country since that time lias been up to the average in crease in Atlanta , the number has been ( jreatly augmented. A writer in The Continent , Judge Tourgeo'a weekly mag azine , estimates that in five-sixths of these homes , wall paper is employed for purposes of comfort or to satisfy the taste. No figui es are given as to the amount imported , but the census shows that there are twenty-five firms which manufacture more than six and a quarto ? million dollars worth of paper hanging every year. In order to give strength nnd protec tion to these firms the tariff imposes a duty of twonty-livo per cent , on wall paper , but this would bo no protection at present prices if competition were allow ed to have its way. The manufacturers , how over , are too smart for this. Not satisfied with the protection which the tariff gives , they have undertaken to pro tect themselves , and the system under which they operate is so nearly perfect that they find little dilliculty in eirrying out their plans. In point of fact , those energetic manu facturers of wall paper bcliovo not only in protection , but in self protection , and they have organized a government , a rinp , un association , a pool of their own , under the shadow of which all competition or hope of competition dies. In their way they are more powerful and just as odious as the quinine monopoly which succeeded in compelling congress to levy a blood tax in its behalf for so many years. How is the wall paper government run ? It is very simple and very effective. For twenty-six years the manufacturers of the article have succeeded , not only in killing out competition in trade but they have succeeded in shut ting out competition in manufacture. For more than a quarter of a century no ono has been able to successfully start a manufactory of wall paper , for no now concern can hope to fight against the ironclad rules which govern the present ring. The writer in The Continent who gives the facts declares that mnrchants \\lio handle wall paper are compelled under forfeiture of a heavy bond not to buy of any outside manufacturer in this country. Should there bo any violation lation on the part of a merchant , from the large dealer who is able to furnish the bond , to the small fry who buy from the middle men , ho is compelled among other penalties to pay "maximum prices , " on which thcro could bo no pos sible profit. The same writer says that the salesmen are required to make oath not to violate the contracts of their em ployers in any particular , and the puuish- mont for such violation is discharge and inclitibility ; to any similar position with a wall paper firm. The penalty for underselling Ameri can goods is the forfeiture of bond , and the pool can thus order the prices of home and foreign products to remain the same. A Chicago dealer who imports moro than fifty per cent of foreign made wall paper entering the United States , is placed under a yearly bond of § 30,000 , and ho is compelled to make the bond before ho can buy the American made wall paper which comprises half his stock. Fifty-four firms in the United States pay $2,000 each annually for the privilege of getting fifteen per cent dis count on regular prices. The name of this monstrous monopoly is "Tho American Wall Paper Manufac turers' association , " and it was formally organized five years ago , though the un derstanding between the makers has amounted to a pooling arrangement for many years. The salaries of the com missioner and other ofliccrs amount to 8108,000 a year. The capital of the pool is § 10,000,000. The decision of the com missioner is absolute , so that in this re public wo have a monarchical business concern exacting tolls , not only from the merchants whom it owns , but from the public in general. The pool proper is composed of thir teen names , and thcro are ten acquiesc ing firm. Ono of the latter has not turned a wheel since the pool was formed , but has been paid a largo sum annually not to manufacture a particle of wall paper. Wo present these facts for the consideration of the public , which , if not interested in the price of wall paper , is at least interested in crushing out such mon archical monopolies as the wall paper manufacturers' association. Cnro ol'FowlH. Neglect is the prime reason why so many people huvn what they call "poor luck" with fowls. Never forgot that fowls eat a great deal of grass in tlio course of n year , if they can got it. They must have something green. If there is a largo accumulation of coarco manure put it wheru thu fowls can reach it. They will not only scratch it tea a line condition , but bo benefited by the exercise. The smaller a hen yard the oftener it should bo turned over with a plow or spado. Sow grain upon it and turn that under for the fowls to scratch out. It keeps them omplo ) od. In nmkingorlocahng a hon'anoatalway have an eye to the hen's preferences for partial secrecy , She's modest and wants to bo a little out of sight when engaged in maternal duties. On very cold , damp niqhts thu fowls should be given a good feed of whole corn before they go to roost , as it is moru promotivo of heat than any other kind of feed that is usually fed. It is also advis able to change to wheat occasionally for the sake of variety. As the fowls hoirin to mature many of them become 'atliicted with scurvy leg. This is duo to parasites and increases with the ago of the fowl. It is very un sightly , and is an indication of neglect. It is removed by greasing thu logs once a week thrco or four times with a mixture of sulphur and lard , or lard to which a little coal oil is added. The cockerel cannot bo judged for form , plumage and carriage until they are in full feather. To discard and re ject them when young may occasion thu loss of the best unknowingly. Some times the moat unpromising are thu best , aud in order to cull the flock judiciously tlio cockerels should bo allowed to mil- turo whenever such course is not incon venient.
