Xbe City Prison Jag Cure*
The reporters and officials about
the City Prison have a cure for
drunkenness that has never been
known to fail. It will sobor up a
man quicker and keep him sober
longer than anything else on earth.
No bypodei mic injections that tie
his nerves into bow knots or
nauseating nostrums that turn his
stomach wrong side out are given,
but the treatment is none the less
severe.
When a' ‘‘drunk” is dragged into
the Qjty Prison limp and uncon
scious he is thrown into a cell and
allowed to sleep it off. When he
finally wakes it takes him about
half an hour to realize his position,
and then he falls a victim to red
hot remorse. He knows he is in
jail and more than suspects that he
was arrested for drunkenness, but
he recollects nothing of it and the
uncertainty is perplexing.
About that time a couple of
police officers come to his cell, he
is taken out, seated on a bench,
with an officer on each side of him.
He soramences to wonder what is
up.
“We are officers,” remarks one,
"and we want to know how this
happened.”
“Don’t know. Suppose I took a
drink or two too many.”
"Oh, I mean the killing.”
" What killing ?” and the
"drunk’s” hair commences to stand.
"Oh, you needn’t pretend that
you don’t know anything about it.
There’s the blood on your hands,
and we’ve got the knife sou cut
that woman’s throat with.”
"My God ! did I kill anybody ?
So help’ me, God, gentlemen, I
don’t remember a thing after I
took that last drink of whisky,”
and he commences to moan and
cry.
"What did you want to kill her
for ?”
"Who did I kill? My wife ?”
“Yes, your her throat
from ear to ear.”
The “drunk” nearly faints and
wails so loud that he attracts the
attention of every one in the
prison. l About- that time half a
dozen reporters flock around him
to interview him and they question
him <about the harrowing details.
He looks at the blood on his hands
and shudders, not suspecting that
it is from his nose. He pleads
that he remembers nothing of it
and must have been insane. Then
he is locked up again and the next
time he is questioned he tells a
long story to show that it was in
self defense during a drunken quar
rel. He swears he will never take
another drink so long as he lives
and is allowed to go with the
statement that his story of self-de
sense is believed. He sneaks home
to attend his wife’s funeral and
finds her alive and well. But he
stays sober for many a day.—S. F.
Post.
Sir Robert Ball, the astronomer
royal for Ireland, at a scientific
meeting stated that the time is
coming when power would be fur
nished for industrial purposes di
rectly from the heat of the suu,
and he exhibited a machine of that
character that was capable of driv
ing a small printing press,
A spoon in a glass filled with hot
water prevents the breaking of the
glass, because the metal readily
absorbs a large part of the hest of
the water.
We might as well permit our
enemies to direct the movements of
our armies in the field in time of
war as to permit them to direet or
control our manufactures and other
industries in times of peace. The
present pressure illustrates the fol
ly of Uncle Sam in assisting hi*
rival and creditor Johnny Bull to
demonetize silver. England buys
from fifty to sixty millions of silver
annually to use in her trade with
India, China and other Eastern
countries. When our mints were
open to free coinage she never
bought an ounce for less than $1.29.
Now she gets it for about half
price. Every ounce will buy as
much wheat and cotton in India as
it ever would, but, the silver ounce
costing less, the cost of these sta
ples delivered in Liverpool is re
duced one half through half price
silver. This regulates the price of
all wheat and cotton England buys
from us, and these staples form
nearly one half of our exports. —

From a bulletin issued by the
census bureau it is shown that the
entire receipts by the national state,
county, township and municipal
governments of the United States
combined, including schools and
postal service and all forms of tax
ation, reached in 1890 an aggregate
of $1,040,473,013. The total ex
penditures for the government of
the people, from the support of the
district school to the payment of
the expenses of congress and the
interest on the public debt in the
same year, amounted to $915,954,
055, leaving a balance of $124,-
518,958 in the treasuries of the
various states, cities and counties.
The revenues are made up from
various sources, the largest being
local taxation upon real and per
sonal property, which was $443-
096,574 The liquor dealers of the
United States contributed to the
support of the government the sum
of $24,706,496.
A bachelor says: Man that is
married to woman is of many days
and full of trouble. In the morn
ing he draws his salary, and in the
evening behold it is all gone; it
goes but he knows not where. He
spendeth shekels in the purchase of
fine linen to cover the bosoms of
his family, yet he is seen at the
gates of the city with but one sus
pender. He goeth forth as an ox
or an ass, and draweth the chariot
of his offspring. He ariseth in
chilly garments of night, and seek
eth the soranambulent paregoric,
which healeth the colicy stomach
of his offspring. Yes he is alto
gether wretched and full of misery.
Wide is the road and broad is the
way that leadeth to the gate of
matrimony, and many there be that
goeth in thereat.
The shipment of Mexican dollars
to the Orient continues unabated,
$7,774,455 having been forwarded
to Asia byway of San Francisco
during the last eleven months. The
demands of trade are constantly
expanding, and China is trying to
provide a medium of exchange taore
suited to the requirements of the
present time than the ancient cur
rency of copper. It will be a long
time before gold m onometalism will
be an accomplished fact throughout
the world. Silver is the natural
medium of exchange for all the
countries in Asia, and must be
kept iu the circulation of the
countries which wonld trade with
them —San Diego Union.

The primary object of transact
ing business, says a Chicago ex
change, is not to occupy one** time,
but to make money. A great many
people seem to iose sight of this
end and imagine if they are gelling
a large amount of goods or making
a vast number of machines they are
doing exactly the right thing. A
salesman who can beat the house of
Jones & Smith out of a large sale
is usually commended, though his
firm may lose money by the opera
tion Competition has become so
sharp in almost a'l lines that the
question of profit is lost sight of in
the mad rush for business. To
hurt a competitor is too often re
garded as the same thing as help
ing one’s self. Next to attempting
to do business on insufficient capi
tal; the practice of doing business
for the sake of doing business is
accountable for the vajst number of
failures of the present day. Cus
tomers secured through cut prices
are hard to hold, since they aro
always looking for like concessions.
It is bettor to sell a few goods and
make a fair profit than carry on a
“ land-office business” at a net loss.
Dr. C. O. Vaughn, dean of the
University of Michigan Medical
Faculty, believes that he has dis
covered a certain specific for tuber
culosis. The product is called
nuclein, and was but recently
made. The doctor has just re
turned from the International Con
gress of Hygiene at Buda Pesth,
Hungary, where he read a paper
on his discovery which attracted
considerable attention. He has
not proceeded far enough in his
experiments to declare that nuclein
will absolutely prevent tuberculosis
in men, but he has proved that it
will in animals. Albert A. Wat
son, a senior law student from De*
troit, has, however, tried the
nuclein. In nine months he had
gained twelve pounds and seemed
entirely cured.
The report of the board of prison
commissioners has been received by
Governor Hughes. It shows that
the per capita cost of the prisoners
has been reduced lower than ever
before in the history of the insti
tution notwithstanding the addition
of many improvements. It ap
proves the efforts made in the di
rection of securing perfect discip
line. The work of Sec. McKean is
highly commended as is also his
predecessor in office, E. J. Trippel,
The board recommends the pardon
of G. W. Rood and also that of
Isador Licano for the purpose of
restoring them to citizenship. The
commissioners recommend commu
tations in the cases of King Ussery
Nels Hansen and Jesse Castillo,
The court of private land claims
has just concluded a term wherein
much important business was trans*
acted. During the past year the
court confirmed the Spanish and
Mexican grants to the amount of
779,000 acres, and rejected such
claims to the amount of 3,814,000
acres. In Arizona none were con
firmed, and grants amounting to
199,000 acres were rejected, United
States Attorney Matt. G. Reynolds
of St. Louis, is entitled to great
credit for this favorable showing to
the government. The court will
meet again on January 25tb next,
when claims to the amount of sev
eral million acres will come before
it.
