I ours truly,
MATT. Ell. CARPENTER

Commenting upon these letters and
the purpose which has prompted the
Tribune und Journal to persue Mr..
Carpenter after his retirement from
official life, the Chippewa Herald very
appropriately says:
Wa are not great believer in the
law of libel, but we do think that it S
about time these unjust assaults upon
Mr.. CARPENTER ceased He is out
of politics out of Office; and prac-
ticing law in order to earn his daily
bread. His career is not now pub
lie one. and hence newspapers have no
excnse for their course in attacking
him.
Mr.. CARPENTER is now an attorney
for several parties charged with com.
plicity in the whiskey frauds. That
position he has a perfect right to take
But that he was their attorney during
his term as Senator; that he had any.
thing to do with those frauds, directly
or indirectly; we do not believe any
one thinks, and under these circum.
stances, his suit against those Journals
that charge him with almost crimina,
conduct, ought to be prosecuted tc
the bitter end.

The fact that Henry Wilson's
brain weighed more than the average
gives rise to the renewed statement
that weight of brain determines a per-
sons ability. A London cartman had
the heaviest brain ever weighed. Quail
ity, not quantity, gives greatness. A
Cow has a bigger brain than mosqui-
to, but she could not keep man awake
half the night trying to hit her all

Canned Vegetables.

An exchange says that in the
city of Burlington, N. j., 1900
900 cans are packed annually.
OIe day last summer $4,000 cans
of cora were put up at a single
il use. The grain was cut from
cots by expert boys and girls,
with knives, 10000 ears being
used for this days work. In 9th
er towns in that state the bust
ness of canning is carried on ex.
tensively. Baltimore has several
firms engaged in canning, exclu-
sive of the oyster trade. In
Maine there are seventeen facto-
ries which in the aggregate put
up 100000 cans. The corn
used is grown on 1882 acres, and
upward of 1000 hands are en-
pIoyed during canning season, be.
sides the can. makers. The value
of corn canned is $1,000, 000.-
large quantities are exported, and
we also import the same fruit and
vegetables.

Colds.

If a cold settles on the outer
covering of the lungs it becomes
pneumonia, inflammation OF the
longs or lung,iever, and IN many
eases carries off the strongest man
10 his grave within a week. 1t a
cold falls upon the inner covering
of the lungs it is pleurisy, with
it's knife.like pains, and It's slow,
very slow recoveries. If a cold
settles in the joints, there is rheu-
matism with the agonies OF pain,
and the rheumatism of the heart,
which in an instant snaps asun'
der the cords of life with no
friendly warning. 1t is of the vi
most practical Importance, then,
in the wintry weather, to know
not so much how to cure a cold as
how to avoid it. Cold always
comes from one cause-some part
of the body being colder than nat
ural for a time. If a person will
keep his feet warm and never al
low himself or herself to be chilled,
he or she will never take a cold
in lifetime; and this can only be
accomplished by due care, warm
clothing and avoidance of draughts
and exposure. While multitudes
Of colds come from cold feet, per-
haps, the majority comes from
cooling off too quickly after be-
coming a little warmer than is
natural. from exercise or work, or
from confinement TO warm
apartment.

The Fate ofstock-Thieves

On Tuesday morning we were
summoned on a COroners jury by
Justice Kahn, to view the bodies
OF two men found hanging to an
elm tree a short distance fromthls
city, in the direction of Point lsa-
bel. a ride of twenty minutes
brought US to the spot, about D
miles from the city, and few rods
from the main road we found two
men, who were recognized as An
tonic Guerra and Pedro Carr |.
The bodies were hanging near to-
gether, one his feet about 8 inch
es from the ground, the other
about 2 feet. Their clothing had
not been removed, nor their peck
cts examined. 10 one pocket was
found 374 cents and two pawn
brokers' tickets, given in Matam-
oras, and in the other ones a flint
and steel, etc.
Their arms were tied at the ell
bow with pieces of hair-rope, and
they were hung with the common
rope, found for sale in every store
in the city. Two saddles and
brides, blankets, etc, were lett
under the same tree.
After the inquest the bodies
were taken to the Market square,
where they were viewed by about
1000 people, after which they
were returned to their friends for
interment.
We have always been on the
side of the stock raisers against
the thieves, but we cannot indoTse
such brutal murder, even of bad
men.-BroacnSUiWe (Ter.) Ran

Burn Kerosene the Right
Way.

A correspondent Of the New
York San calls attention Of all
consumers of kerosene oil 10 the
pernicious and unhealthy prac-
tice of using lamps filled with
that article with thewicks turned
down. The gas which should
be consumed by the flames is by
this means left heavily in the
air, while the cost thus saved at
present prices would scarce be
one dollar year for the lamps
of Il household. His attention
was called particularly to this
custom by boarding in the coun-
try where kerosene was the on
ly ayailebIe light. A large fam
lily of children living in the
same house were taken i'll one
night, and on going to the nur-
sery the mother found the room
nearly suffocating, with lamp
turned down, whcreupon the
physician forbade the use Of a
lamp at night, unless turned at
full head. He says he could
quote many cases, one ofayoung
girl subject to fits of faintness,
which ifnot induced, were great
ly increased by sleeping in a
room with lamp almost turned
out. Beside the damage to
health, it spoils the paper and
curtains, soils the mirrors and
windows, and gives the whole
house an untidy air and an I'M
wholesome odor.

SoreThroat, Night Collars

Says an exchange: Gan emI
hcnt physician, who devotes his
whole attention TO diseases of the
throat and lungs, told us the 9TH
or day. that about three.fourths
of all the throat diseases would
get.well by wearing very loose
collars, and no necktie at all.
lie said that often singers would
come to him for throat diseases
and loss of voice, and he would
tear open the cravats and cure
them by no other treatment what
ever. "The pressure of the col
lar on the arteries of the neck is
very bad for the health, said he.
He also added: eff you have the
disease OF the throat let nature do
the curing, and the physician
just as little as possible
