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

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. "

Hjit.-UHo the Cincinnati Corom rcial ( litittc.
WABUi.snxoK , January Jl. 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.

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.

An Interesting Monopoly. 4
Atlanta Constitution.
There in no article of household decor
ation moro ornamental or more useful
than wall-p.ipci , and no other article is
necessary to the comfort of those who de
sire lo inako homo attractive at a com
paratively trilling expense. 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.
