Plain Facts Plainly Spoken. At ono time a discussion of the secret vice was on. tlrcly a\oldod by the profession , and medical works but a few } ears ago w ould hardly mention It To-day the physician Is of a different opinion ; ho It aware that It U his duty disagreeable though II may bo to handle this matter without glotosand Hpoak plainly about It : and Intelligent parents and guardians will thank htm for doing so. The results attending this dcatructl\ Uce \ > cro or- uicrly not understood , or not properly estimated ; and no Importance being attached to a subject which by Its nature docs not Invite close tin estimation , It wa wlllhi gly Ignored. The habit Is generally contracted by the young while attending school ; older companions through their example , may bi responsible for It , or It may be acquired through accident. The excitement once ex perienced , the practice will bo repeated again and again , until at last the habit becomes tlrin and com pletcly cnskuos the victim. Mental and nervous nl tilctloiis are usually the primary results of sell-abuse. Among the injurious effects may bo mentioned lassl- ude , dejection or Irrascibility of temper and general debility. The boy seeks seclusion , and rarely Joint In the sports of his companions. If ho bo a young man ho will bo litUe found In company with the other BOX , and ii troubled with exceeding and annoying bashfulness In their presence. Lascivious dreams , emissions and eruptions on the face , etc. , are also prominent s ) mptoms. H the practice Is v latently persisted In , more serlout disturbances take place. Ureat palpitation of the heart , or epilcptlo convulsions , are experienced , and the sufferer may fall Into a complete state ot Idiocy be fore , tinally , death relieves him. To all those engaged In this dangerous , practice , 1 would say , first of all , stop It at once ; make eiery possible effort to do so ; but if 3 ou fall , if your nervous .8) stern is already too much shattered , and consequently quently , your will-power broken , take some ncr\e tonic to aid j ou In your effort. Haing freed yoursell from the habit , I would further counsel > ou to RO through a regular course of treatment , for It Is a great mistake to sumwsn that any one may , for some time , be te\erysolitt'e gltohimself up to this fascinating but dangerous exUtenieni without suffering from itt ev 11 consequences at some future timo. The numner of young men who are incapactrttcd to fill the duties enjoined by wedlock Is alarmingly large , and In most of such cases this unfortunate condition of things can be traced to the practice of self-abuse , which had been abandoned years ago. Indeed , a few months' practice of this habit Is sulUcioiit to Induce spermatorrhoea ] later years , and I hao many of such cases under treat , men at the present day.

Ono Maine firm has cut 7000 tons of ice from the Androscoggin river , and 2. 000 from n pond on Capo Klizaboth , All of 75,000 were cut on the Ponobscolt , 55,000 tons of which is for export. Most of this ice wai cut near Jlaugor , and it is from fifteen to twenty inches thick. A largo crop was harvested along the Kim- nobock , but the quality is not believed tote to bo quito up to that of the Ponobscot. The Groylock Manufacturing com pany of Pittsfiold , Mass. , reduced wages 10 per cent , on March 1. The men have made no sign of resistance as yot.Tho The supply of shad in the Connecticut river has boon sharply declining since the season of 1881 , when 351,000 were taken out.

Speaking of the explosion in the Vic- oria railway station , London , John J. 3rcalin , one of the trustees of the alarm- ng fund , said to a Now York Herald re porter : " 1 see no reason as yet to bo- iovo that Irishmen had anything to do nth it , but if they had I have no hosita- Ion In condemning their action. I am a oliover in dynamite. If an arsenal , or a .hip . of war , or a royal dock-yard , or a atUlion of troops can bo blown up , I say roll and good. That is legitimate. Those ire quarters in which it is right to attack England but to blow up a railway station a place designed for the uae of all man- ' : ind , 1 may say and to take or to on- .anger the lives of civilians innocent icoplo , who are simply minding their wn private business that ia simply iiurdcrous and infamous , and notniug toi ovoro c.ui bo said in condemnation of it There seem to bo other people in Eng 'and capable of using dymanito betides 'riah ' revolutionists , Thuro is a socialise , ic element in London that seems quit capable of resorting to the use of dyna mite. 'Yes , 1 think it was somp Irishmen work. I think it wan done in pursuance if the system , " said O'Donovan Koasu , 'We have been very quiet of late , bu think the work will go on faster thai iver in a littlu while. There is a nnv igoncy at work now raising money , an nero work will therefore bo possible. Al wo undertake to do on this aide of tin icean is to aid thn mon at homo. Wi end them money. In spite of all th aws that England nan inako the chemical igonts necessary can bp procured eve thoro. Wo are learning , simpler am bettor ways of making the oxpbsivo slut all the time , and they have men readj and willing to carry nut the plans among themselves. Thus , you see , \ro know very little of what ia going on. Wo send th moans and await the results. " "But would the blowing up of a rail way station bo within the scope of you plane I" "Yes. Our arm is to convince the com ncrcial classes of England that it i cheaper to give up than to hold Ireland Therefore any means by which wo cai attack the wealth of the country come within our lines , This explosion tool place at night. Well , there is no doiir to slaughter people neodl aay ] , and so can understand that night would b selected for an attack on a great commcr cial center like the Victoria station , ii order that as few people might bo hurt as possible. " "Do you Btill find support in this coun try for dynamite projects ? " " 0 , yes. Since the execution O'Donnoll there is a great popular cry fo vengeance justice I call it and the dy n mite policy has more supporters tha : over before. The now agency spoken of by O'Dono van Rossa for the raising of funds fo dynamite purposes is a certain Irish America newspaper , which was noted no long ago foirits strenuous advocacy o Michael Davitt's maxim ; "Land for the landless people land without striking a blow. " Early in January this paper j tart d an "emergency fund. " In the , J appeal for contributions for this fund it is set forth that Ireland must do "as her unomy , Kiigland , has done and is doing slay , burn , destroy. " This nppoal was supplemented by the following declara tion of principles : "Tho object of this fund is to aid the active forces on the other aide in every practical mode of warfare for the recov ery of Irieh national independence , to stimulate to deeds of heroism , to punish informers , to reward heroes while living , and to honor their memories when they have pasted from the scone of actionand to look after the dependents of mini who may fall for Ireland , but who before they have fnllcn shall have struck successful blows against the common enemy. " Down to and including last week the total amount of contributions to the 'emergency fund" was announced to bo $4,01)2.0(1 ) ( , a weekly average of over KIiKGTItlOAti SCIEMCK.

Ono answer roallj com prehends all , 1 believe that in time it will bo the almost universal form in which energy or power will bo used. All who are interested in electrical science have a certain stock of questions which are asked over and over again whenever an opportunity presents itself. 1 have made a small collection of those oftoneat propounded , and will horn an swer some of them. Ono asks , "Will electricity ho the uni versal boaat of burden of the future ? Will it cm ry us and our parcels , how our wood , draw our -water , cut our grain , cook our food , heat and light our houses as well as furnish the motive power for our mills and factories ? This beneficent result will , I think , bo attained when electrical science has reached the point when electricity can bo produced directly from the oxidation of combustibles in stead of interpolating a boiler and steam engine in the process. Prof. Tico defines electricity as the soul of the universe , the vital element of all moving matter ; a id 1 am nskod I am of the same opinion. 1 believe it is merely one form of motion , and the "lighoat yet discovered. Uon. S. S. Cox is quoted ns having said that in the future , perhaps , no other agent of locomotion , heat , light or power , will bo rcaortod to. This opinion ia well founded , and is shared by all who have given studious thought to the possibilities of electrical science. As to the changes which will bo affected by electricity within fifty years in the city of Now York , I would say that I be lieve oleetricty will propel the cars of the street and elevated railroads , light the city within and without ita buildings , furnish power for all ita purpoaes , work telephones and burglar alarms , deliver the opera , convoy parcola , detect and aig- nal fires , operate fire engines and possi bly displace animal locomotion for vo- hicles. "Tho expression , 'storing electricity' ia in common use , " say one. "Is such a thing possible ? " In point of fact it Is done every day , although as yet not eco nomically enough to warrant its intro duction as a commercial undertaking. Another wants to know ii the sun is not the indirect source of all the electric ity in the world , or oven in the universe ? The tun , of course , is the aourco of all energy in our comparatively small plane tary system. This energy takes various forms , one of which wo call electricity. The question I am oftonost asked is , Can electric appliances for light , heat , nd power ever bo sufficiently cheapened o become available to the poor ? " This tago of electrical development has nl- cudy been reached in light and power. Jloctricity will prove itself a boon to the ioor by breaking up aggregated indus- nca. This , I believe , will bo ita groat- ist mission. It will subdivide power so , hat each operator can have his own , nt trifling cost , to do what ho pleases with. My belief is that in fifty years , or pos- .ibly sooner , wo shall roach the electrical milcnnium the day when electricity will do its perfect work , und bo the general icrvitor of the people. The perfection > f electrical science will , I think , have ivon a greater effect upon the industries , ionsequontly upon the general condition if the people , than the introduction of iteam , . As electricity is a more infant , it is < fro- * juontly asserted that its full growth will ' 'ovolutionizo ' almost all t/ho practical in- , orosts of the world. Already , through io telegraph and telephone , it is rovolu- lionizing all commercial methods , and will continue to dp so at a much greater axtcnt as it is utilized and developed in othitr directions. "Will electricity ovnr bo the motor which propel 9 ships ? " Yes , if it can bo produced by direct oxidation of combuv tibln material. "I nulievo , alto , that electricity will do Creator wumlura in transmitting and pre serving sound than it has dono. The electrical era is not nil in the future. 1 1 has already begun. Probably fifty thous and puiviuns throughout the world are engaged with the applications of elec tricity. When it lias reached its full develop ment electricity will not only lighten labor , it will enhance the safety of trav elers and producers. "Will it ever bo as useful to the farm er as to the manufacturer ? " some ono asks. I think not at least , not soon though it may bo. A woman wants to know if it will over lighten the labor of the household as well aa the factory , a question I am happy to answer in the pfllrmativo. TIIOMAH A. Eniso.v. Tlmo. Journal , A lot of merchant travelers in Now York were watching the time-hall about noon one day with their watches in their hands , betting aa to when it would drop. "I've got a watch that never fails mo , " said ono , "and I've a dollar that says it will drop in four minutes and a half. " "Done ! " says another ; "my watch says six minutes , and hero's my dollar on yours. " "Both of you are nil' , " chinned in another. "I've got the regulator , and she says the ball goes down in five min utes. " "I've got a watch and two dollan which says she will go down in three minutes and a half , " put in a nice little Broadway fellow. "Hero's a fiver that suya she will go down in throe minutes , " sang out a Claflin traveler in a high collar. "Ah , gentlemen , " interrupted a newman { man , joining the gang , "betting on the I ball , eh ? Well , I don't bet usually , but all'vogot ? 50 in my missionary pocket ! ' I that I was cointc to pay my pew rent with , but if I hear no objections I'll ' put itMt up against a like amount that she doesn't drop in ton minutes , " and ho pulled out an old tin watch , with n gato- hinge case on it , and looked into iU dirty face in a tender , loving way. The boys gave him the l.uigh , nnd covered his pile , and then they nil stood and watched the ball with their time pieces in their hands. Ono , two , throe , Jour , live , six , seven eight , nine , ton minutes , and the b.vll ntill remained up"Thunder and Ifuhtning' " shouted all of thorn at once , except the little man , who rennrkod as he stull'iid his winnings into his pocket : "I'm sorrow for you , gentlemen , and glad for my pow rent , but , you see , I'm the partv that takes care of the clock , and alien out of repair , and that ball won't drop until next week , unless my mon are faster than usual with their work. So long , " And ho skipped around the corner before the boys recovered from their astonishment. WHAT HOT UAKii : ) 1MOANS 1)11) . Tito ImiiKliithln Incidents CniiNril Ity a Few Itoyt ntul n Slcii. Vrom 1'ock'fl Sun. Probably as laughable a thing as has been seen in a long time took place at Janosvillo at the Grand Army reunion a few weeks ago. There was to bo a baked bean banquet fwr the visiting veterans , and half the families in town furnished a nan of baked beans for the occasion , send ing them to the armory late in the after noon piping hot. A couple of boya. sons of a soldier , were intrusted with a largo pan of red hot baked beans to take down town , and they put the pan on n hand-sled and started. Arriving at the top of the big hill , where the road runa straight down into the business street , the temptation to ride down wia ton great , and the boys got on the alod with a pan of beans in front of them , steam ing hot. They started. Every crossing they shuck a gob of beans would fly out , and before ti oy were half down the hill the boya were covered with beans from head to foot. They shut their eyes and lot the sled "wont. " A girl stood by the crossing as thov passed , and as the sled strucka hummock a handful of beans hit the girl inthehair , and as the hot mass boi m to heat up she felt that the hairs of her head were num bered , and put her hand to her head , and when the beans burned her hand she yelled fire and wont away on a gallop. A do" ran along beside the sled and barked at the boya , but quart of beans struck the dog and the weather was too warm for him , and ho ran away with a hot box. The sled finally turned over , and boys , beans and sled rolled and slid for half a block , and the street vaa paved with good in tentions and baked beans. The boya getup up , scraped the beans oil' their clothes , though1- the matter ever for a minute , whoii each took hold of a side of the empty pan and they carried it down to the armory and reported to tliocoinmitteo on beans. The circumstance was related to the soldiers , and the empty pan , the hand-sled and the boys decorated with beans created as much amusement for the old veterans aa any ono thing. Copyright. CiucAao , March 4. The Daily News , editorially , says : An effort has boon made to make the public at largo believe that congress will pass no law of newspaper copyright. Doubtless those interested in producing such an impression will proceed - coed on the principle that all is fair in war , oven misrepresentation. Primarily . the design of the measure is to put an end to a sort of theft that has hitherto gone unpunished because a daily news paper is the only commercial enterprise in the United States to steal from which is not a crime. To illustrate thin point with perfect clearness lot it bo supposed that a merchant imports goods from Eu rope at great cost and that they are stolen from him , the consequences to the thief being , in the event of detec tion , conviction and imprisonment for his crime. If a typo founder casts a now and original style of typo ho protects it under the laws relating to patents , and no man may imitate it without becoming liable to serious penalty. The purpose of the merchant nnd inventor ia the same. Each goes to the preliminary expense of his venture that ho may sell what lie has imported or invented nt a price that will yield a profit. The proprietor of n news paper who _ imports , HO to speak , n valu able and interesting piece of news from abroad or from another place within thu union , or devotes his own time nnd talents to the preparation , that is the invention , f a readable and often important natter , is absolutely at the mercy of nny mo unscrupulous enough to steal either , 'hero may be in this case nn outlay of noney larger than that incurred by thu norchant or inventor. Ho goes to that iiitlay ior the aamo reason they do , but 10 is outside the law and wholly unpro- cctod from any one who may choose to ippropriato the fruit of his brains or thu news ho has purchased. Much has boon said about the opposition of country pa ters , There is no little misapprehension ) f this branch of the subject. Few of the provincial publications , tlio weeklies , semi-weeklies und tri-wooklics Llmt are largely made up of what nro known at "patent insides , " will bo affected nt all by tlio proposed law , the object of which is to patent thn contents of a newspaper for just so long only , siy 24 hours , as will prevent them from being stolen and used in competition with a journal paying for them. The "country papers therefore need not bo afraid. There is n class of provincial papers , a certain kind of local daily , that will find the operation of the law very inconvenient. Indeed , it is against them that ita fratnors aim , and a species of evanescent little city shoot that steals it news and dis patches from early issues of the morning papers. These two classes howl against what will check their dishonesty. Tlio Dirt-IJiiriiliiK IjocoiutHlven. Oonornl Manager Wootton , of tlio PJiil- adolnhia nnd Reading railroad company , in his report for 1883 says that the num. her of enginoa burning coal dust is 171. Thcso consumed during the year 180,100 tons of dust , atid Manager Wootton estimates the saving on this account at 8378.0CO. Eighty-throo per cent of the main line coal tonnage was moved by thorn , at a cost for fuel per train milo of 2 IMG cents , against 12 4.10cents for these using ordinary prepared anthracite. It required 88 pounds of fuel to haul 100 tons one milo against ! 1 pounds in 1882. Mr. Wootton says that continued experi ence with the dust-burning locomotives proves the reduced cost of maintaining thoin , The temperature of the furnace is lower , and therefore the wear on the are sheets is diminished. Do moniioim t'.ono engine of this chss , No. 408 , winch has been in service for seven years , < nd hmiun 1KI.W04 imles , yet there in no I aoparent deteri"ration in the fire sheets.
