BUGS WOLF !
Or Black Leprosy, is a disease which is considered
Incurable, bat it has yielded to the curative proper
ties of Swipts Srscinc now known all over the
world as S. S. S. Mrs. Bailey, of West Somerville,
Mass., near Boston, was attacked several years ago
with this hideous black eruption, and was treated by
the best medical talent, who could only say that the
disease was a species of
-LEPROST-
and conseqnently Incurable. It is impossible to de
scribe her sufferings. Her body from the crown of
her head to the soles of her feet was a mass of decay
masses of flesh rotting off and leaving great cavities.
Her Angers festered and three or four nails dropped
off at one time. Her limbs contracted by the fearful
ulceration, and for several years she did not leave
her bed. Her weight was reduced from 185 to 60 lbs.
Perhaps some fault idea of her condition can bo
gleaned from the fact that three pounds of Cosmo
line or ointment were used per week in dressing her
sores. Finally the physicians acknowledged their
defeat by this Black Wolf, and commended the suf
ferer to her all-wise Creator. -.
Her husband hearing wonderful reports of the nsa
Of SwrjT's KrKcrno (S. 8. 6.), prevailed on her to
try It as a last resort. She began its use under pro
test, bnt soon found that her system was being re
lieved of the poison, as the sores assumed a redand
healthy color, as though the blood was becoming
pore and active. Mrs. Bailey continued the S. S. S.
until last February; every sore was healed; she dis
carded chair and crutches, and was for the first time
in twelve years a well woman. Her husband, Mr.
C. A. Bailey, is in business at Blackstone Street,
Boston, and will take pleasure in giving the details
of this wonderful cure. Send to us for Treatise on

THAT BROKEN BRIDGE.
The recent disaster on the Boston and
Providence railroad is perhaps not yet fully
explained, bat enough has been made known
to indicate that the bridge which broke was
not a very well constructed or well guarded
affair.
The Engineering News sent a representa
tive to make a careful examination of the
wreck. He did so and found, says that
paper, "the two original parts which in all
human probability were the first to break."
It is further said: The general judgment of
engineers will bear us out in Baying that
more shamefully bad specimens of bridge
design, metal and workmanship can hardly
exist. We regret to hare to express so
sweeping a condemnation of the structure,
but the facts more than justify it, and it is
bnt right that in an occurrence of this kind
the truth should be pointed out and made
clear without fear er favor. It is appalling
to think of the tens of thousands of lives
which have literally hung by a thread in
passing over this bridge during the past
eleven years.
It appears that several persons who have
traveled on the road have long considered
the bridge dangerous. Mr. Brock testified
to that effect before the railroad commission
ers. It is said that a professor of the Boston
Institute of Technology took a student to
the bridge for the purpose of showing it as
an example of bad bridge construction. Mr.
Cleary and others say they went back and
forth on this road, always regarding the
bridge as a distinct danger and always feel
ing a sense of relief when it was passed. As
bearing on the manner in which the bridge
was inspected the following testimony is
interesting: In 1383 I was out driving, and
in passing under the bridge I saw one of the
nuts hanging down from the nnder side of a
stringer. There were three or four more
where the nuts were off entirely, and several
others where they were loose. I reported it
to the superintendent's office, and they said
it wonld be attended to. For several days
the trains slowed up almost to the rate of a
person's walking. At the end of a week the
nuts were not fixed and I reported it again.
The young man in the office told me I was
borrowing trouble. I said that there was
some strain on the rods or the nuts would
not get loose. No one could reach them
without a ladder or a rope to lower himself
by. Well, he said: "If you're afraid to ride
on the road you'd better go afoot."
There is an attempt to show that the fall
of the bridge was the result of a broken
journal, but the greater part of the evidence
thus far is against this theory. If it is
proven that the bridge was defective and
was not properly inspected the damages
which the railroad company will have to pay
will be very large.

The recklessness with which some minis

The city treasurer of Iowa City recently
received a letter from a former resident of
the place enclosing a handsome check, with
the explanation that the writer had been a
traveler for years and that the remittance
represented a sum equal to a proper tax on
the capital he had taken with him and which
had been taxed nowhere. It is significant
that this announcement will cause a great
deal of surprise, but we do not expect that
the New Haven treasurer's mail will be much
increased by followers of the Iowa City man's
example.
Two white teachers, with ten negro girls
from the Clark university, took seats in a
gospel tent in Atlanta the other afternoon,
The students were asked to change their seats
for those reserved for negroes; but their
teachers told them to sit still. Then a police
man was called, who insisted that the girls
must change their seats. This resulted in
teachers and students all quitting the tent,
Said one of the teachers to the other:

difference in a chnreh before the Lord."

F. W. Clarke, writing to the Epoch of the
origin of "saccharin, " says it was derived
from toluene, itself a derivative from coal
tar. Mr. Constantino Fahlberg, a student at
Johns Hopkins University, was the actual
discoverer, though he was acting at the time
under the directions of Professor Bemsen
Saccharin or "benzoic sulphinide," as it was
first named, while many times sweeter than
sngar, is physiologically inert, passing urfal
tered through the system. For this reason it
is harmless and may be used by diabetio suf
ferers, who are uuable to consume oane
sugar. Mr. Clarke says that the new sub
stance is a powerful antiseptic, "so that it
may be used in place of sugar, though in
much smaller quantities, for the preservation
of fruit."
It is related that when Mr. Charles P.
Clark, the new president of the Consolidated
railroad, called on President Cleveland for
the purpose of withdrawing the papers that
had been filed in his behalf for one of the inter-state
commerce commissionersfiips, he
was astonished to receive a big package of
letters, signed by prominent merchants and
business men from all over New England and
the Middle States, testifying to Mr. Clark's em
inent qualifications for such an appointment
Most of thew riters of these letters had not
been approached by Mr. Clark or any of his
friends in order to secure their endorsements,
and many of them were strangers to him
personally. After lookiDg over these docu
ments Mr . Clark concluded to hand them
back to the President, with the request that
they be returned to the writers or destroyed.
"If I kept these letters," said Mr. Clark to
the President, "I should always fear lest I
might do something that might cause these
kind friends to regret that they had written
such kind things of me."
The phonopore is the latest claimant for
attention in the telegraphic field. It is a de
velopment of telegraphy by sound, without
the passage of electrio currents. It is the in
vention of C.Langdon Davies of London, and
is thus described: In exterior form the
transmitter appears to be an ordinary Morse
key mounted on a base about four inches
high. This base contains an instrument
which somewhat resembles an induction coil.
The impulses are generated in a primary cir
cuit of improved construction, over which is
wound, in place of a secondary circuit, a
phonopore of two wires insulated from each
other throughout their entire length and at
both ends, each of these wires being, howev
er, connected at one end only to the line.
The number of phonoporic impulses gener
ated in the transmitter per second is regulat
ed by the vibrations of an organ reed placed
in the primary circuit. Another reed tnned
to the same rate of vibration is placed as a
receiver at the distant station in front of an
electro-magnet, and the phonoporic impulses
from the transmitter cause it to vibrate. A
new form contaot-breaker, operated by the
receiver-reed, completes a local relay circuit
when the reed is still, but breaks it when
ever the reed vibrates,, thereby setting in
action any required instrument in connection
with any battery.
More "Yachting for the Public ."
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
Becent statements that the "Mayflower" is
surely to be sent to England and that the
Burgess-built schooner "Sachem" is also go
ing there make welcome and pleasant reading
to those who are usually interested in yacht
ing. It will also prove to De agreeaoie in
formation to a host of recent yachting re
cruits made np, among others, from the fem
inine contingent, wno win nerearter snare
with father and brother enjoyment of the
inevitable victories and with them will look
for the long since familiar sight of the Amer
ican eagle rampant ana screecning on trie
left hand upper corner of the
morning paper, while the stars
and stripes wave . exultingly at the
head of long columns, bulging and overflow
ing with the story of renewed triumph, won
by sloop and schooner. The mere word
racing' is sometimes looked at askance. At
its mention and as if brutal abuse of much
enduring horses were necessar ily referred to,
long faces are pulled, forgetting that the
business man raees for money, school chil
dren for prizes and position, young men and
women for husband and wives, ministers for
the vacant pulpit and all of ns for such mat
ters of honor or income as we specially de
sire. For my own part and personally, rac
ing anything for downright, bare money is
not pleasing; it smacks too mach
of coarse and common gambling
which virtually it often is not.
As a case in point the Dauntless-Coronet
ocean race is sailed for a considerable purse,
but it need not be put down as gambling in
its bad sense, because the prime object of a
contest that is deeply interesting ruling
minds in civilized nations is not simply a
vulgar scrabble for a sum of money. In this
connection it is also well to remember that
the whole purse of $20,000 will not pay the
racine expense of either yacht; so that, at
the close, either yacht even the winner
will be out of pocket, and this he well knew
before starting. If this is gambling there
will soon be less of it. Let him, however, of
the stern fore-finger presumably such
type of man as the Chicago brother, who de
clines to add his snarling whine to the chorus
of clerical sympathy (too heartfelt and gen
erous to be sectarian and which united
Protestant and Catholic in a common sorrow),
which was sent to the family gathered
around the deathbed of the great Brooklyn
preacher, or, perhaps the other brother, who,
even in this life claims to be positively sure
that he knows all about the mysteries of the
life to come and is super-solicitous that
heathen brothers, whether red, yellow or
black, should not have their taste
perverted by teachings from any other ver
sion of future-state matters than the
one, infallible, determinate plan, whioh he
claims distinguishes his ewn, or perhaps once
again, the very particular young theologue
for whom the instruction given at Yale is
not good enough to suiter him to remain,
nor are faculty or professors satisfactory, so
that he would have a university specially en
dowed for the completion of his invaluable
clerical indoctrination, vale! young man,
vale! Sternly turn your back upon your
Alma Mater dissolved in tears of well, in
tears, and so hence firm and clear in convic
tion that you are advancing rapidly along the
straight and especially the narrow roaa tnat
leads to Chicago! But this is digression
I repeat, let him of the stern fore-finger
panse before aiming it with abundant ven
om at yacht racing! With regard to com
ing international contests it is possible that
we ought to be more thankful than we are
for permission to enter our centerboard
yachts on any terms among the stow bnt
royal British cutters. Such conditions as
are now allowed by special recent enactment
really change the centerboard yacht into a
keel boat for the time being, and deprive it
of its peouliar excellence and advantage, that
of adapting its keel to the need of the mo
ment and lessening, at will, resistance to the
water, thns making it deep with a strong
grip for sailing close-hauled on the wind
and removing it altogether when not wanted
in running before the wind. It stands to
reason and to common sense that to be able
to do this mnat be an advantage to any sail
ing vessel, as is the actual fact.
We do well to remember how serious an
effort is required for the Briton to make any
change whatever and thus understand that it
may take long years and countless defeats
before John Bull learns to appreciate and,
what is still harder for him, consents to
adopt a new thing or a good thing that is not
of British origin. For such reasons it is fair
ly probable that grandchildren of the slug
gish royal cutter of to-day may use the cen
terboard naturally and enjoy "its manifold
advantages without knowing or caring six
pence for the origin of the improvement.
Even the limited concessions made to the
expected American visitors call out the
growler, and his protesting voice is beard
across the Atlantic, and perhaps our cousins
are wise to be afraid, as some surprising eye
openers are preparing for them. The rules
adopted and concessions made are that our
centerboards may enter races with the royal
cutters when the board is fixed in any one
position and is sealed there to the sat
isfaction of the appointed examiner, and the
substantial adoption by English clubs of the
New Tork Yacht club rules for time allow
ance based on the computation of length
and sail area.
The case is fairly parallel tq that of a
one-armed man preparing to fight an antago
nist with two arms. For the occasion In
, question, the one-armed man is right to de-
mand that one of his opponent's arms shall
be secured immovably, he is prudent to try to
obtain for himself every fair chance. But,
when he insists that a man with one arm san
always fight the hardest and best and wonld
have all fighting men lop off one arm in or
der to be like himself, he urges an absurdity
that our reason as well as our experience
cannot allow. If the one-armed fighter ever
proved himself the best man, if he only
sometimes overcame his opponent and forced
him to beg, there might be grounds for be
lief in his assertion and some occasion for
reasonable argument; but so long as physical
laws, now existing, remain unchanged and
so long as the two handed fighter wins easily
and always, we shall remain confirmed in
our present belief that for fighting two
hands are better than one. F. W. F.

A NEW BUSINESS.
fflConer made by Snowing t Strangers
the Ntable men r New York.
From the Washington Post.
Western energy and dash was never bet
ter demonstrated than in the case of a young
man who came to New York about a month
ago to seek his fortune. His capital would
hardly hare been sufficient to pay two
months' board bill. He answered innumer
able advertisements, and visited a number of
business houses in hope of securing employ
ment; but all his efforts in this direction
were in vain. He was about to despair, and
finally was trying to concoct some way by
which he could secure transportation home,
when he chanced to visit a place where the
wax images of some of the famous people of
the country are on exhibition. There he was
siezed with an idea that has resulted in his
building np a paying business, and which
promises before long to be lucrative. He
noticed how interested the people were as
they viewed the images of Gen. Sherman,
Col. Ingersoll and others more or less fam
ous, when this thought struck him:
'If these people are willing to pay fifty
cents to look at wax images they would
certainly pay that or a larger amount
to see the originals. Why, almost ev
ery day I could show them fifty men
whose names are a household word by tak
ing them to the corridors of the leading
hotels."
He saw one party of gentlemen, evidently
from the country, very much interested in
the image of a man who can be seen almost
any hour of the day in the corridor of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. He made bold to ask
them if they would like to have a number of
flesh and blood distinguished men pointed
out to them. They were delighted with the
idea, and immediately started off with him
to visit the hotel corridors. The young
westerner bad travelled considerably, so that
he knew a number of prominent faces. He
was extremely fortunate this day in meeting
a number of distinguished men, and when
he got through with his party was lib
erally rewarded. This inspired him with
confidence in the practicability of his
scheme and he resolved to make a business
of it.
The next day he had cards printed stating
the nature of his business, and went at it in
a methodical manner. At first he looked
for his customers from among the people
who visit the place where the wax images
are exhibited and among the second-
class hotels. His business now is fairly
well known among the hotel employes, and
it is not infrequent for customers to come to
him.
"I am now making a good deal more than
I could as a clerk," said the young man,
"and, besi des, I think there is a good future
for me in this business. I have not opened
an office yet, but I expect to before long. -It
is certainly a very interesting vocation, but
it has to be worked in a systematic manner,
like all other businesses. You can only
find men around hotels in the morning and
evening, so that during the middle of the
day I spend my time looking np custom.
The morning, though, is decidedly the best
time to find notables. You can usually find
fifty to one hundred persons of nation
al reputation in the hour's walk through
the corridors. A good time to see theat
rical people gathered about cafes is in the
afternoon.
"There are a lot of prominent men who
know my business and are generally around
at certain hours so that I may be able to
point them out. There is a distinguished
Congressman at the Hoffman House who
passes regularly every morning and evening
for my enstomers. I find that nearly all the
public men like to have people look at
them. Not long ago there was a prominent
United States Senator stopping at one of the
hotels and some one made him aware of the
h fact that I was exhibiting him to several cus
tomers. Shortly after the Senator entrapped
ms in a conversation and began to pump me
about what my customers had said and
thought about him. Their remarks had been
complimentary, so I told the Senator what
had been said. He was delighted, and
gave me five dollars for my trouble. He
also told me confidentially that whenever I
had customers in the hotel and he should not
be around I might send for him, and he
would, as a matter of accommodation to me,
respond.
"The theatrical people regard it as an ex
cellent advertisement for themselves, and
many of them are very glad to have me in
troduce them to my customers. The fact that
I have the entree into nearly all the theaters
shows best how they appreciate my services.
For a business of only a month. I think I
have done well, but it is yet in its infancy.
In the fall I expect I will have two or three
assistants. Of course as I prosper I expect
opposition."
