Some Important F?et?.
The evenings are long enough
now for every person to devote
some time to reading. The best
literature is the daily newspaper,
and the best daily newspaper is
the Pittsburg Times. It is com
plete in every department,gather
ing promptly the news from all
parts of the world and presenting
all sides of every pnblic question
fairly and intelligently. Its
market reports are models of ac
curacy; its department for wom
en readers and for the farmer are
useful and entertaining and its
serial stories are by the most,
noted writers. The aim of its
publishers is to make the Times
a paper for the home above
everything else, and they have
succeeded admirably.
The Times is delivered by
agents for one cent a day, or will
be sent by mail for thirty cents
for one month; fifty cento for two
months; seveuty-five cents for
three months; $1.50 for six
there is no agent for the Times
in your locality write for sample
copies, which are sent free, and
terms to agents.
How a Kan Go?* to bleep.
"Order is heaven's first law,"
and the old truth is manifested
even in the process of going to
sleep. When a man drops ofT to
sleep his body does not do so all
at once, so to speak. Some senses
become dormant before others,
and always in the? same order.
As he becomes drowsy the eyes
close and the sense of seeing is
at rest. It is quickly followed
by the disappearance of the sense
of taste. He next loses the sense
of smell, and then after a short
interval the tympanum becomes
insensible to sound, or rather the
nerves which run to the brain
from it fail to arose any sense ol
hearing. The last sense to leave
is that of touch, and in some
hyper-sensitive people it is hard
ly ever dormant. Even in their
case, however, there is no dis
criminating power or sense of
what touched them. This sense
is also the first to return upon
awakening. Then hearing fol
lows suit. alter that taste, and
the eye becomes able to flash im
pressions back to the brain. The
sense, of smell oddly enough,
though it is by no means the first
to go, is the last to come back.
The same gradual loss of power
is observed in- the muscles and
sinews as well as in the senses.
Slumber begins at the Teet and
slowly spreads up the limbs and
trunk until it reaches the brain
when unconsciousness is com
plete and the whole body is at
rest. This is why sleep is im
possible when the feet are cold.

before an audience last week
with his trainer Kiordan when
a blow from his powerful fist
felled Riordan to the floor from
whence he never arose alive. He
died from the effects of the blow
and Fitzsimmons was put under

eral weeks I have been on the
move and concluded that Stew
?otes in regard to the colntryj
and the people would he oJ in
terest to the readers of the Tei.e
I GRAM. On the 11th of October I
left home, bound for the east, at
6:22 p. m. I was off for the east
on the B. & O. with a ticket for
New York city; when our train
reached Newburj? at the foot of
the mountains the second iron
horse was hitched and soon we
were ascending the mountain at
the rate of near 99 feet to the mile.
Just thinir of this splendid train
of hundreds of tons weight giid
ing up the mountains. The night
was cool and clear and the moon
shed her soft light over the
mountains,revealing a view which
wap in beauty, grand beyond my
power tjo describe. We were soon
across the mountains and sweep
ing down the Potomac. "We had:
passed Washington and Baltm.
before the mantle of night was
lifted. At 10:55 a. m. we arrived
at New York. It is almost a
continuous town from Philadel
phia to New York. A hurried
trip on the elevated railroad and
?we are at 34th street ferry?
then across on the ferry boat and
for the first time I am in Long
1 Island city. A wait of 2 hours
and we are off for
miles nuu'S?'*lit! Ocean snore,
where I remained until Tuesday
attending the New York confer
ence of the M. P. church.
It is useless for me to tell you
that I had a good time?two
things were at uncommon inter
est too me. The first was an ad
dress by Rev. J. H. Robinson, of
Patterson, N. J. Bro. Robinson
is a splendid man-a genuine
Irishman?highly educated. He
kept a large audience in a roar
of laughter for one hoar. He
told of his visit to Blarney Castle
in Ireland, and how he succeeded
in kissing the Blarney stone.
Weli, I am sure he was "blarney
ized.
On Tuesday morning early 11
was called on to join a fishing
party. We went down to the
great fish pond called the "At
lantic ocean," Soon our boat
was set with full sail and was
pulling at the anchor, which be
in* lifted, our boat moved off up
the harbor with speed as a thing
of life. Soon we reached the
outlet, .where the waves were
rolling in, fringed with white
foam on their crest- Our wise
captain tacked from side to side. I
Our boat stood against the waves
with surprising strength. With
difficulty we reached (as seamen
call it) the outside. As the great
ocean roiled in splendor before
me I could bat feel how wonder
ful is nature, how glorious is
the great and eternal God. The
waves rose higher and higher,
wheu our captain said "a strong
'Sou-Wester' has set in" which
cut short our fishing, so we
turned our frail craft amid the
battling waves, which seemed to
be rushing one after another to
die in anger on the shore. We
were driven before the wind, the
water dashed against our boat,
dashing the salt water all orer
us. As our boat is turned be
fore the wind my face is wet and
I have some water in my mouth.
We will soon get inside, till then
the scene around me is truly one
of ocean glory. Oh, these bin?
waves, sparkling and foaming
along the 6ide of the boat, so
clear, so pure, so strange, so
boundless?well, I must hold fast
now, I will tell you more by and
by. Benjamin Stout.

Etc,
If the facts placed before the
"fgienic Congress held at Bud*
t last month be not everstat
tlien the whole world owes ?
?ep debt of gratitude to the
hing French savant, Dt. Roux,
for the patient and heroic re
searches which have lead to tjie
very of an effectual cure for
up ami diphtheria, and opened
way for further results not
is startling. Such is the intro
tory announcement in the
ndou Daily Graphic, which also
vis the following:
The distuingished Dr. Marsan
ints out how the new method
vv>i- established. Diphtheria is
produced by microbes which
tfant themselves in the mem
txrane of the throat and multiply;
but unlike the bacilli of other in
fectious diseases, they remain ob
stinately in the same position,
neither penetrating the system
nor the blood. But if the deadly
animalcules remain at the door,
still able to secrete a
n of extreme violence, called
which quickly penetrates
circulation and infects the
body. This toxin, thanks
achievements of science,
now be isolated, and in the
of fine powder will cause al
immediate death when in
into animals. However,
been found that if a very
dose be introduced into
animals, especially the
V * feeble reaction is
By repeating the op
with gradually
flappflri
mal fnmi^evoltg, and
not only impervious to the toxin,
but destroys it, and from this sin
gular result is due the origin of
the new substance with which
Dr. Roux wages war against
diphtheria. In a word, it is the
basis of a great revolution in the
medical world, which henceforth
will recognize in ''Serum the
rapy" a heaven-sent system to
root out most of the diseases con
nected with childhood. As Dr.
Marsan well says, there are tox
ins and anti-toxins for all inic
robic affections. Serum therapy
will eventually discover a remedy
for all infectious diseases. Yes
terday it was tetanus in animals
that it qured, to-day it is diph
theria, to-morrow it will be tu
berculoise. If you go to the In
stitute Pasteur, you will find com
fortably stalled in the garden
some ten or a dozen cab horses,
in prime condition, aged from
six to nine years, whose mission
in life is to furnish the precioub
fluid which every day snatches
many a young life from an un
timely grave. They are in their
measure unconsciously solving
the problem of how to stop the
depopulation of France. They
are well cared for, there is no
cruelty in the process. 110 suffer
ing entailed. The first process is
to inject the deadly virus?the
toxin?into the shoulder of the
horse. This of course, at first
causes a slight indisposition, but
after a while no ill effect is felt
the second step is to draw from
the neck of the "prepared" ani
mal a judicious quantity of blood.
If the blood be allowed to sta'nd
for a while, the red corpuscles
settle to the bottom, and the
operator can then draw off the
fluid, of a yellowish hue, resting
above and containing the serum,
or antioxin. This, in its turn, is
injected under the skin of the
patient by means of a syringe an
alogous to that used for injecting
morphine.
'It is now thought that Ex-Con
gressman Wilson will be given a
place on the Supreme Bench if
Justice Howell Jackson's present
sickness necessitates his resigna
tion or results in death. The
Prrffessor is now on a lecture

Our Democratic'' oxehanges
? seem to be coosidenb^^^^H
? up over the fact that the newly
I fn^ ^e"ri8latnre is Republican
in both branches. But they try
to console themselves that the
apportionment actor 1891 cannot
be touched and that the Kerry
manderthen made must stand.
We think our Democratic friends
are plagued with their gulltv
consciences and that they lose
sight of the fact that the infam
ous gerrymander law is clearly
unconstitutional and unfair and
that a new Legislature can on
constitutional grounds revise and
? correct the inequalities and in
justice of that act. If the lie
publican Legislature chooses to
pass a new apportionment act it
will stand, for it is the law-mak
ing body and the judge of the
qualifications of its own mem
bership.
In this connection it is well to
I note that the Legislature to be
elected in 1890 will have eleven
hold over Senators out of thir
teen. To elect three Senators
only will hold the upper house ;
while the House can be safely
carried by the Republicans. Wo
are sure as we can beof future po
litical events that the noxt Leg
islature will be Itepublican.
That is, if the Republicans act
wisely and well. We have faith
There Is some that the
Legislature cannot enact laws
without the Governor's assent or
? two-thirds majority in both
branches. This is a mistake. A
majority in each house is suflici
ent. If the Governor vetoes a
biM it goes back to the house
where it originated, to be recon
sidered. If it then pass again by
a majority It goes to the other
house, which also may repass it
by a majority vote. If it passes
both houses in this manner, it
shall become a law, nothwith
ing the objections of the gover
nor. A bill remaining In the
governor's bands five days un
signed becomes a law unless the
Legislature shall have adjourn
ed in the meantime. So it will
be seen that the Legislature by
moving promptly can pass all
needed legislation.?Parkerabnrg

A Pffrstlc Tiew.
I Col. Jno. T. McGraw don't
want Goff elected to the Senate.
He says, and perhaps his argu.
ment is a good one on political
grounds, that the Democtats can
not afford to have Judge Goff in
politics in West Virginia. It is
far better for the Democratic
party that the carpet baggers
and corruptlonisU have full
sway as bosses. In the judicial
chair Goff is harmless. As an
active participant and leader he
is always a menace and a danger
to Democratic success.?Parkers

fbe Thought of (iod.
I For one soul saved by scolding
and fanlt-flnding, ten are saved
by sweetness; for one soul saved
by fear of helL ten are saved by
the thought of God. A gentle
voice and a smiling face make
religion beautiful to the misera
ble and sinful, whereas gloomy
looks and a harsh or condescend
ing manner make religion seem
a thing to be avoided. Do you
wish to draw souls to God ?
Then let your souls reflect His
love. Be iwntle, be patient.
Practical people may condemn
you, but only this way you imi
tate Jesus.
