selection soon, while the stock is complete.
Many years ago, while engaged in the general
practice of medicine I saw the dark and apparently
hopeless condition of nearly every sufferer from
CHRONIC DISEASES, as well a the utter futility
of the methods of relief (relief simply and not
cure) employed by the best in the medical frater
nity, and I speedily determined my course of ac
tion and wedded my professional life to the most
careful analysis and intimate knowledge of the pe
culiarities of this class of ailments, bending also
my energies to find some
NEW
Method of Treatment
Which would be alike satisfactory to my patents
and myself.
Not the work of a day, or a month, or a year, but
after MANY years of persistent application, I have
by actual proof and test fixed and determined a
line of treatment which for positive certainty of
results borders on the, marvelous and has aptly
been termed
A PRICELESS DISCOVERY,
And X can show, prove and demonstrate to any
reasonable, sensible, intelligent person that the
most difficult, long-standing and obscure CHRON
IC DISEASES will yield as if by magic to my Nswr
Rational, Scientific Treatment, and I have no
hesitancy in saying that in the large majority of
such cases I can not only give Relief, but can Core
them. My treatment, touching the foundation and
removing absolutely the cause of disturbance, rap
idly builds anew, invigorates with healthy growth
and recreates the original design.

Mb. F. B. Root:
Dear Sir Your last lot of Ointment received,
and already I 'save disposed of several boxes. I
will let you know how I was able to recommend it.
Last April my horse was attacked with pneumonia.
We all thought he could not live. Being a pet
horse, we did everything possible to save it. The
disease soon assumed a typl oid form and the doc
tor advised us to kill him. Th f evr Anally set
tled in his feet and he could not stand upon them.
We tried several preparations to help the hoofs.
Hearing of your Ointment I-purchased a box, and
1 assure you it worked wonders in this case. All of
my neighbors are surprised at the result. It is in
deed the beat Ointment in the world.

TIMELY PROTESTS.
One of the signs of the times is the protest
against political prohibition made by people
who have long and efficiently worked and
led ia the temperance movement. Mrs. J.
Ellen Foster Bays: I do not believe input
ting up men merely to go through the mo
tions of voting for them and to keep np the
party organization, when the result of such
party organization and third party voting is
to put liquor men or their sympathizers in
offices of public trust. The "third party"
vote does not represent five per cent, of the
prohibitory sentiment of the country. It is
smallest in those States where such senti
ment represented in law is dominant.
Not a little excitement has been created in
Minnesota by an article in the Northwestern
Chronicle, which is the personal organ of
BUhop Ireland of the Roman Catholic
church. The bishop is well known as an
earnest advocate of temperance. His paper
comes out in favor of the Republican ticket
and says: There can be no question as to
where the friends of temperance, of law and
order, of sobriety and of good government
must take their stand this fall. Between
Ames, with his "wide-open" policy, stand
ing on a free whisky platform with the Co
lumbia league at his back openly declaring
that they will capture the legislature' in the
interests of rum, and McGill, as the nominee
of thejparty pledged to high license and the
control of the liquor traffic, no advocate of
temperance, no total abstainer, no enemy of
the saloon can hesitate for a moment and be
consistent. We have advocated high li
cense for years; we have written and worked
against rum for so long, and we would be
untrue to ourselves, untrue to the principles
we proclaim, did we not declare ourselves
strongly In favor of the party that pledges
itself to the measures that we desire to see
enforced The Democratic party
prefers low license to high license a "wide
open" policy to legislative control of the
liquor traffic. It has made its choice. It
appeals to the friends of those measures to
support its ticket, and, as we are not nor
never havj been in sympathy with such a po
litical programme, it evidently does not de
sire our support and will not be disappoint
ed when it fails to get it.
There are, we are glad to know, many
men in Connecticut who would like to see a
prohibitory law made, but who are not will
ing to try to damage the only party that has
tried to restrain the lienor traffic. The folly
of political prohibition is daily growing
more apparent.
EDITORIAL. MOTES.
The Providence Journal hopes that the
proceedings of the American Board of For
eign Missions will not be largely read by the
heathen whom it is desired to convert. It is
also to be hoped that the dead heathen are
not obliged to pay attention to the proceed
ings. In 160 of the 185 congressional districts
now represented by Democrats party conven
tions have been held and fifty-six of the
present members have not been renominated.
In 117 of the 140 Republican districts twen
ty Republican incumbents have failed of re

San Francisco. The captain of a ship from
Liverpool ref uBed to put his pilot ashore on
the Irish coast or to stop and put him on
any returning vessel, but carried him clear
to San Francisco, aronnd the Horn, while
the pilot protested at thus being dragged
away from a rich wife at home. He sued
for $50,000 damages and the court decided
for him, leaving the amount to be fixed by a
commission.
There are men in Chicago who do not al
low anybody to get far ahead of them. A
Madison street saleon keeper attraoted cus
tomers by displaying war relics. Genuine or
not he labeled them "A sword from the Val
ley of the Shenandoah; a bullet from the
field of Gettysburg; a sword that went
through the war," etc., eto. Whereupon a
rival in Canal street displayed what he called
"A nail from Noah's Ark; a back tooth from
the whale that swallowed Jonah; a piece of
iron from one of the picks that Cyrus used
in getting into Babylon; a piece of brass, all
that was left of a suspender button that Dan
iel left in the lion's den, and the core of the
apple that William Tell fired at."
Electricity works strangely. Messrs. Walsh
and Tweedy of the United States Geological
survey were caught out in an eleotrio storm
while sketching from a high peak near Dixie
Butte, Oregon, recently. First there was a
bnzzing sound, apparently coming from un
der the drawing table that Mr. Walsh was
using.- He put his hand under the drawing
sheet and received a severe shock. Tweedy,
who was lying down, was also disturbed and
jumped te his feet, but went down again
quickly, for where he stood the electrio fluid
entered in such quantities aa to produce an
almost unbearable prickling sensation. Both
men felt tremendous shocks, their hair stood
np like bristles, their muscles twitched and
in all respects they felt as if connected with
a powerful electrio battery. Through it all
the projecting rocks gave forth a musical
humming sound.
It is not very pleasant to see that one of
the New England States Vermont is los
ing ground in educational matters. In 1880
the number of children enrolled in school ia
Vermont at some time during the year was
73,952, while in 1886 it has sunk to 71,667.
, Aathe last census Bhowed 09,463 persons of
school age, it follows that only 72 per cent,
of the children now enter a publio school,
against more than 74 per cent, six years ago.
The present proportion falls below that in
four of the southern States Delaware, West
Virginia, Florida and Texas 79 per cent, of
all the children being enrolled in the last
named commonwealth, while Missouri is
within four per cent, of Vermont's record,
and even South Carolina falls but nine per
cent, behind. In Missouri the average daily
attendance is 75 per cent., against Vermont's
65, in Florida 73 and in South Carolina 69.
"Smoker by Compulsion" writes to the
St. James Gazette: Allow me to say that
my own case more than bears ont Dr. Mich
ael Foster's views with regard to color-blindness.
It is undoubtedly true that color
blindness is the result of sticking to one kind
of tobacco. A few years ago I learned to
smoke to oblige a friend. I never liked it.
One day I called a blue color yellow and a
red one green. My occupation is one in
which ability to distinguish colors is essen
tial. Much alarmed, I consulted doctor after
doctor in vain. I got worse and worse. One
day a medical student called. By the mer
est accident I mentioned my malady. "What
do you smoke?" he asked at once. I said,
Bird's eye." "And you never vary UP
f'Never." Without another word he handed
me his pouch. It contained "Honeydew." I
smoked for three hours, and next day I was
whole. 1 The cure was wonderful. I con
tinue to smoke taking care to- vary my to
baccosfor when I leave off L find that the
color-blindness comes back. I also find it
advisable to keep a box of cigars. They,
too. are a change. " In my opinion, no one
who has once smoked should ever giye np
the practice for this reason: Of two evils
we shonld always choose the least. I am
told that this medical student has been
plucked ten times. It seems a shame.

CABBIES OF PARIS.
An
American Wno Waa Erlentened
ay tne Hackmen.
Paris Correspondence of the Boston Herald.
Two years ago I saw here in Paris great
fear shown frequently by one of the biggest
gamblers of New York. He has been a
"sporting man" all his life; he has been the
referee at several prize fights: he has had to
do with roughs and "crooks" of all kinds
since he was a boy. A better on horse races,
he also "bucks the tiger" and plays for big
money at "short cards." Noted always as a
man of iron will, nerves of steel and un
flinching bravery, he has more influence over
thieves, gamblers and ruffians generally than
any American ever knew. For some time he
was the manager of John L. Sullivan I
shall continue to write very respectfully of
that individual as long as his "left duke"
holds its own and was the only one ever
able to make that you know what I mean
behave himself.
Well, a few years ago this very particular
sport passed some very miserable days in
Paris simply because he became thoroughly
frightened by the publio hackmen. He was
very anxious to hear Patti, then singing at
the Nations. It was only a few steps from
his hotel to that theater and I suggested that
he had better walk there. "Walk I Catch
me in the street on foot. I wouldn't walk
from here to the other side of the boulevard
for a thousand dollars. I never step out of
this house but I take my life in my hand,
and I tremble with fear until I get back
again. There are cabmen out there who do
nothing but wait for me. Wh.n they see me
attempt to cross the boulevard or the Rue
Scribe they head their hones straight at me
and try their best to run over me." It final
ly happened that he wouldn't walk a block if
by doing so he'd have to make a crossing.
He always got into a fiacre or a private car
riage. There is no doubt about it, Paris cabbies
are very peculiar in their ways, and it cer
tainly does seem as if some of them were
bent on driving over all pedestrians whom
they can possibly find in their way. But I
am rather inclined to think that this is not
because of any viciousness on their part, but
rather because of ignorance. It is astonish
ing what poor drivers the publio hackmen of
Paris are. Chevaliers of the whip on private
carriages are as good here as you will find in
any city, but the "oocher de fiacre" is as
stupid and indifferent, as lazy and uncon
trollable as any communist that ever was.
Still if there is one class of persons with
whom we have more to do with than another
it is these same pnblio hackmen. Here more
than elsewhere is he the necessary collabora
tor in the three great events in the lives of
the inhabitants. He will drive a merry wed
ding party in the morning to the Bates Chau
mont. In the afternoon he may carry
mourners behind the hearse to Pere-la-Chaise
r Montmatre cemeteries; and then on his
way back is as likely as not called on to take
a new born babe to the tnairie of the ward
for registration as a French citizen. He
drives lovers to their rendezvous,- gaping
tourists throngh noisy thoroughfares and
business men to wholesale houses. Travel
ers engage him going to and coming from the
trains; all the world are his clients and few
of us can manage to get along without his
services. If he were not a drinker of ab
sinthe or bad brandy, an eater of garlicky
dishes and a smoker of vile cabbage leaves
or cut straw he would be a great deal better
fellow than he is now.Ho has contracted
the habit of passing his time when unem
ployed in the drinking saloon nearest to his
stand, and he leaves on the zinc bars of these
merchants de vins not only his earnings but
aiso his health, his politeness, good nature
and all the other qualities which the exercise
of his calling demands. When you go np to
a Paris cab stand the chances are that the
driver is not in his box; presently he comes
out of a saloon, his face red with the bad
stuff he has been drinking, and he is not at
all well-disposed toward you for having pre
vented him from winning another dram. He
gets angry if you ask him to drive faster,
manages to run into another vehicle, to let
his horse fall down or to do something else
which delays you, and if he does not do this
he keeps his whip continually cracking over
the. ears of his wretched beast, meanwhile
taking good care to hold it in at a walk all
the time.
The business of street hacks was com
menced in Paris during the reign of Louis
XIIL, at which time they got the name of
fiacre, by which they are now universally
known all over France from the fact that the
owner of them kept his vehicles in the stable
of an inn which had a picture of St. Fiacre
on its signboard. Louis XIV. made certain
regulations concerning fiacres, but Napoleon
was the first monarch to require them to
have numbers and fixed places at which to
wait for customers. Of late years their num
ber has increased rapidly. There were five
thousand in 1852, but there are now more
than three times that number, principally
owned by two large companies, the General e
and fre Crbaine, "bernd. which there are
two or three others of lesser importance,
also a certain number owned by drivers or
hired by them from stablemen. A volume
would hardly suffice to contain all the com
plaints Parisians are in the habit of making
against these "chevaliers da fouet." They
are never satisfied with their ponrboires,
they walk their horses when you take them
by the hour, and they arrogate the privilege
of accepting or refusing customers according
to their personal fancies. It is true that one
can force a "coacher" to drive him if one can
manage to get into the fellow's vehicle, but
he generally takes care to find out where the
fare is going before he lets them do that, and
then if the distance is too long for the pour
boire he feels sure he will receive, he de
clares that his horse is tired and that he is
on the way to the stable to change it. On
holidays he insists on charging special rates,
and sometimes the rates are quite as high as
a fine livery carriage would have cost you
for the same service, and when he is in a bad
humor he tries to run over people, an ex
ploit quite frequently accomplished, and for
which he generally escapes punishment.
Library Rook-It .etc..
I From the Buffalo Express.
The book-racks in course of construction
in the Buffalo Library building are marvels
of perfection in the application of the mul
tnm in parvo principle. The idea upon
which they are constructed originated with
Mr. J. N. Lamed, the superintendent ot the
library, although they are based on the prin
ciples employed in the racks of the Harvard
and several other libraries. It is said, how
ever, that nothing approaching the present
racks for neatness and convenience, as well
as safety, has ever been constructed. In all
large modern libraries the glass case with
doors has long been abandoned as being
more troublesome than useful; and the plan
of building the racks in tiers of two, three
or four stories is now also generally em
ployed. The present racks are almost entire
ly of wrought iron. They are placed in
aisles, those on the side being about half as
broad as the main aisle leading down the
center of the book-room. All the uprights
of the cases are of iron pipe about one inch
in diameter. Light iron staircases lead to
the upper stage at intervals, giving free ac
cess to every book In the room without the
necessity of using a stepladder. Between
the uprights are small double wooden
shelves about four feet broad, holding two
rows of volumes facing outward on both
sides.
The only cast iron used in the construction
of the racks is in the floors of the upper
aisles, which are bordered by an open-work
cast-iron pattern, into which are let plates of
ground glass, thus giving light to the lower
aisles. Every available square foot of the
two book-rooms is occupied by the racks,
and yet so light, airy and free from cumber
some features are they that air and light
have free access to all parts of the rooms,
and the work of dusting and cleaning is re
duced to a minimum. It is intended to al
low only employes access to the book-room
unless with special permission, and it is
believed that the contemplated arrangement
of the books will greatly facilitate their
rapid delivery to members. The almost
fire proof construction of the racks is also
au important feature in their general ex
cellence. It is hoped another week will
see the racks in readiness for the recaption
of books.
A Laval Incident.
From the Boston Ceurier.J
One of the most delicious examples of the
feminine method of doing business has just
come to light in New York, and not even the
fear of the indignation of the Woman's Jour
nal can restrain us from telling it. A wealthy
Englishman who had married an American
wife, with whom he lived in a good deal of
luxury, lost his property by unlucky specu
lations; and after all sorts ef other expedi
ents had been tried his wife mortgaged some
very valuable Paris gowns to a fashionable
friend. Some time, after the husband re
turned to England and the wife ob
tained employment, so that at the
end of a couple of years she found herself in
a position where she could raise the money to
redeem her clothes. The possessor, however,
declined to part with them. She had a fond
ness for the sort of lace with which they were
adorned, she found the handiwork of Worth
quite to her taste, and to all overtures she
returned a courteous but decided negative.
The lady for whom the gorgeous raiment
had originally been fabricated, although she
was by no means in circumstances where the
wearing of such raiment was appropriate
to her condition, became only the more will
ing to undertake her cause on speculation,
and through him she brought suit to recover
the valuable gowns. The case in due time
came on. Experts testified to the value of
the property, tub receipt of them as a pledge
was not denied, the original owner testified
to having proff.red principal and interest for
the loan, and the lawyer for prosecution closed
his case with a complaoent assurance that he
had won the suit.
The counsel for the defenoe simply submit
ted to the court a single paper,bnt this was an
agreement, drawn at the time the loan was
made, and signed by the borrower, that if
not redeemed within a year the gowns should
become inalienably the property of the lend
er. Asked if she acknowledged the signa
ture to this document, the borrower naively
replied that she signed something at the time
of the transaction, but of course she did not
suppose it would prevent her getting back
her gowns when she wanted them I
The incident is sufficiently lndicrous, but
it really has a pretty serious moral. The ig
norance of womankind of legal forms and
obligations has been often commented upon,
but apparentiy the sex are as a rule quite as
far as ever from appreciating the disastrous
consequences which may follow from their
neglect to inform themselves in this direc
tion. The lady in question left the court in
tears and her speculating ooansel retired in a
bine mist of profanity; but they left a moral
behind them which it would be well if all
women would heed and ponder.
An Extraordinary Interview.
From the Washington Post. ,
The first interview I ever had with the
Jersey Lily was a memorable one. I was
sent as an ambassador extraordinary to offer
her one hundred dollars for a column article
for an important New York periodical. 'I
met her in the lobby of the Albemarle Ho
tel, New York, and was presented by a
friend of mine who happened to be with her.
"Come up to Wallack's at one," she said;
"I have now an appointment, but will be
there then at rehearsal."
I went and made my way through the
darkness baek of the stage. She was in
street costume and was at the footlights go
ing through the rehearsal of "Galatea."
Just as I had arrived at the conclusion that
she would rank about the twenty-seven thou
sandth among the handsome women I knew
she came up the stage to where I stood.
I told her my errand. "I couldn't write
anything that anybody would want to read,"
she said with a laugh. I murmured some
thing about her ability being no doubt equal
to her modesty, when without noticing it she
went on: "But " you could. You could
write something and I could sign it. How
would that do!"
Jt wouldn't dq at all I answered; what we
wanted was some sketch of herself and her
friends, and her going on the stage and all
that.
"Ah, well, yes; then Mrs. Labouchere
here will write it; won't you, dear?"
That worthy chaperone said she would
try, "and we can fuss it up together."
"A hundred pounds you said," mused the
beauty demurely. I corrected her and said
one hundred dollars twenty pounds.
"Oh, it's nothing!" she broke out; "for a
whole column tool"
I assured her that no paper would proba
bly pay any more; at any rate I was not au
thorized to offer it.
"And I got one hundred and twenty-two
pounds," she continued, "for just signing
my name to a certificate of soap yesterday."
I pleaded that this would be different;
"signing a nice article all about your pro
fession your home your tastes ambition
different from soap, don't you see?"
She opened her big eyes and looked with
Esthetic inquiry at Mrs. Labouchere, then
ack at me. "No, not a shilling less," she
said; "what's the difference?"
I feared that she was becoming bewildered
as to the qualities of things and turned sad
ly away.
