THE LOGIC or DEBT.

And an Exploitation ef the Process by
w"ich RichMcI Often Find Thsm-
From Tia st. 1ous Republican. ::
The mistake which our people are
continually making, over and over
again, is that of imagining they can
grow rich by going in debt-that they
are rich ii they own houses, farms and.
stocks, oven though they are in debt
to half or three-quarters the value of
them. A man who owns 800, 900
worth of property, and owes $50, WDW of
debt, imagines he is pretty we'll off.
and is supposed by his acquaintances
to be rich. But is he-2 By mnthe"
NAUTICAL. calculation he appears to be
worth $50, OO0, since his debts amount
to one-half his estimated possessions.
But the fierce logic of legal r. ckon-
ing tells different story. As long US
skies are bright, confidence unim-
paired and business prosrcrous-so
long, in short, us his cleuitors do not
want their money-he manages easily
to 20 through all the forms of being
rich. But he forgets one important
fact, on Which the whole question
hinges, that his debts cannot depre.
ciate one half. A $1,000 debt cannot
grow smaller by any financla' disturb
ance that takes place; but $1,0O(
piece Of property, whether it be farm
or railroad bond, if put up at forced
sale for cash, ut u time when money is
scarce and nobody wants to buy, may
not bring more than $500. This is tht
simple explanation of the constantly
recurring fact that 800, 600 worth q
property, when freed iuto market b.,
the sheriff or administrator, only pay:
$50 600 debts, and leaves the man wllt
imagined himself rich absolutely pen

When Chubb's wife died we called

the subject of Mrs. Chubo's departure.

A STRANGE MURDER,
A Man Throws Jlis Companion Under

Paterson.

A Nan TArovvs his Companion Under
the Whocls Of: = Locomotive Near
Paterson. -
- ;. From the N. Y. Sun of Tuesday.
The engineer of an eastern bound
train on the Erie Railroad reported on
Sunday night, rs he arrived at Pater-
son, that while near Hawthorn, two
miles west of Paterson. he saw two men
fighting on the track. As the locomo-
tive approached, one of the men sud-
denly pushed the other directly III front
of it, and the wheels passed over him.
On account of the heavy grade the en-
gineer did not stop the train.
A locomotive was sent back. As it
approached the spot man was seen
skulking away in the darkness. The
body was found near the track, head
less. Several feet distant the head was
found. The wheels had passed over
the neck. The remains were taken to
Paterson, aud it is supposed that the
man was Michael Clintcb, a miner of
Sterling Furnace, New York. He was
arrested in 'Pxtterson on Saturday
night for drunkenness, and was re-
leased on Sunday. He said he had SIS
concealed by the roadside near Pater-
son. On Sunday night he and a COM
pan,on were elected from an Erie Rail-
way car for intOxication and disorder
At daybreak yesterday morning
James Malone, who says that he lives
in Forty second street, New York, was
arrested near the spot where the body
was found. He was in the act of cook

YELLOW FEVER.

How 1t Works Upon its Victims.
! The type of the disease varies from
year to year, and every great epidemic
has traits of its own; but the main
features are tho same, and an ex-
perienced and competent physician in
fallibly recognizes these in twenty four
hours. True, it is impossible for the
most skillful to distinguish between
these symptoms and those of the
Denguc, or "broken. bone fever" for
the first night and day. A man in the
enjoyment of uncommon health and
strength (for tho delusive disease

its dark ALTAR finds rigor, or slight
chill, creeping over, him, followed by
pains in the head and back, and fever,
which rises rapidly. The pains be-
come violent, excrnciating, and the
pulse ranges. from 1903 to- l2O. The
tongue is not coated or furrcl, but
assumes a red, classy appearance, aud
often swells TO far beyond it's natural
size; the gums begin to enlarge, and
black deposit settles on the teeth. The
secretions Of the body arc deranged
and often the bladder becomes
dry Us a powder horn, for the kidneys
fail to perform their function. Woe to
the patient when such is the case, for
tho urinary acid is almost sure to be
carried to the brain, producing the
widest delirium, aud If not quickly
relieved, issuing in speedy and terrible
death. The stomach is disordered, and
often there is a disposition to reich
n a -
and the restlessness is understandable,
while the eyes are painfully sensitive
to light, and the ears to sound. In
some cases the lips, the whole face,
grow red as crimson. Usually the full,
corded pulse throbs with sledge-like
stroke-the other symptoms undated
for seventy two. hours, when the
fever declines-the pulse still remain
ing quick, but like the trembling
vibration of a thread. BY this time the
patient is so reduced that he can
scarcely lift his head, or indeed raise
an eyelid. This is the critical period,
and in fact, forward from this time
until absolute, not apparent, GONZALES

kinship with other malarious affections,
and is distinctly poison of the blood.
Hence the constant tendency to extra
vasation of the blood into the gums,
eyes, ears, stomach for in some severe
cases, blood is thrown out from every
opening of the body. 1t is often forced
in large quantities into the stomach,

The Cost Of Square Timber.

The Bay City Tribune gives some
figures as to the cost of shipping
square timber. "The cost of the
square timber which is shipped from
this port in such large quantities is
very great at the port of its destina-
ton. The timber costs when in the
river here, ready for shipment, about
5000 thousand cubic feet. The tim
Der is shipped from this port to Kings.
ton at cost of about 300 thousand
cubic feet. At Kingston it is unload
ed, and RATED to Quebcc-the cost of
rafting being about the same as the
cost Of shipping from this port. This
makes the timber worth Mt Quebec
about $4oO per Thousand cubic feet.
At Quebec it is reshipped to the old
country, the timber costing at Liver
pool about 1900 thousand cubic feet
or 800 more than Mt Bay City,"

Something Lighter than Air.

A rather astonishing bit of chemical
news appears in Paris letter to the
Turf, Field and Farm. It describes a
discovery related at secret session of
the Paris Academy of Science on the
18th of last June. The discovery is that
hydrogen, hitherto considered IN ele-
ment, is in reality combination of
two elements, one of which is nine
times as light rs hydrogen, and twenty.
five times as light Us ordinary illumi-
mating gas. The new element is called
abaron, meaning weightlcss. It will
not burn, extingnishes flames, is with.
out odor, taste. or color. The discov-
erer is NJ Lebarro, a well-known
French chemist, and his discovery was
not IN accident, but the result of a
series of successful experiments. The
influence of the discovery, should it be
s,,l,stantiatcd, upon ballooning, will
be manifest. The tremendous lifting
power of abaron will render possible
the employment of metallic balloons,
capable Of resisting all strains and
shocks, and also of preventing the es-
c,lpo Of gaS by exOsmosis. :

A Pet Goat.

Everybody knows what a family pet is.
If he has not one himself. his neighbor
has; and that is often just as bad.
These dear creatures are continually
proving themselves such in a sense
other than affectionately. As an illus
tration of this, we have heard of fond
father who purchased a goat in the
city for mis- boy, and paid three dollars
for it. He gave three dollars more to
get it into the country for tho summer,
and then, not caring to take it back,
boarded it out ut farmers for the
winter. The next summer he found
the goat awaiting him, and bill of
fifteen dollars also, showing that the
hardy animal had only cost six times
as much to keep in the year as it had
cost to buy. THIS creature lasted for
six or eight years, and was Il constant
source Of comfort and expense-partic-
n1arly the latter.
