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. ?New York World. , ^ , Fitzsimmons, the pugilist who is to fight Corbett, was boxing 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.

Notes of Travel! Editor Telegram FoJ sev 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.

Sew Corf For IHpkdierla, Croup, 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.

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 I Journal. 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 aurg Sentinel. fbe Thought of (iod.
