Terrible Struggle with a Name.

There is a good deal in a name, and especially
in a name so long as Hickenlooper. Hickealo0-
per is the name of the Republican candidate for
Observation-Disclosures of Ohio, who was nominal
ted TO prevent another man with a weird name
MIR. Seasongood-from carrying off the honors.
Hickenlooper is not very widely known in Ohio or
the West generally. and the news of his selection
was rather a surprise and a trial to the editors of
the country newspapers, who had TO guess and
gag at his name like chickens endeavoring TO
compass the deglutitiOn of an diversified earth
worm. One paper in Minnesota declares boldly
that Foster and LOppenhicker will sweep the
State by 10000" another in Illinois cries, " We
personally favored Taft and Foster, but the old
Western Reserve will come out solid for Foster
and Picklechoker - a third-and this in Ohio
says IN all the majesty of great black letters,
- Foster and Hoppenkicker-beat them who
can a fourth. in Iowa, protests that " Foster
and POopenhickle will awake such enthusiasm as
the Buckeye State has rarely resounded with -
the head lines of a fifth, in Wisconsin, are - Two
glorious men-Foster and Pickenchooper-the
nominees - a sixth, and again in Ohio, declares
that . the Democracy can find no ticket to sue
cessiully oppose Foster and Pickylooper :" a sew
enth, also in Ohio, hoists along with an eagle
and an American flag, : s Our stalwart standard
bearers-Foster and Choopenlicker - an eighth
still in Ohio, announces a = mass meeting to
ratify the nomination of Governor Foster and
General Pooklehicken,'' and yet another. in
Pennsylvania, where it fairly rains jaw breaking
names, enthusiastically yells at the top OF its
type, Tiger for Foster Rah for Chickle-
picken - 1t is perhaps not a very important mat
ter, still it would avoid confusion if the Republi-
can editors and orators would meet IN convention
and agree to shout for the second man on their
ticket under one name, whether it be Hekenloo-
per, Loppenhicker, Picklechoker, Hoppenkicker,
Poopenhickle, Pickenchooper, PockyloOpen,
Choopenlicker, Pooplehicken or Chicklepicken.
General HickenlOoper by any other name will be
beaten just as easily, and it will be better for the
family to have him dropped under an alias.-N.

An Arithmetical Wonder.

Staffel has invented an ~arithmetical machine,
in which three cylinders are so arranged that
they can work all the simple rules of arithmetic,
carrying multiplication up to millions by mil
lions. If the machine is required to solve an i'm
possible sum, such as subtracting a large number
from a smaller or dividing a smallsum by a greater,
it refuses, and rings a bell as an admonition.
Colmar invented an arithmometer, in which the
action is rather by plates sliding in grooves than
by rotating cylinders. Like Staffel's, it can per-
form addition, subtraction, multiplication, divi-
sion and evolution. Wertbeimer, by means of a
metal plate with indexes, notches, teeth and
holes, has contrived an apparatus for adding and
subtractIng sums of money. Baranowski's in
vention is for calculating wages, prices, interest,
and other sums of money 1t is well-known as
the Ready Reckoner, and is worked by means of a
handle which reveals figures or numerals in open
ings in a brass plate. SchOtt, Lalanne, Roget,
Maurel, Both, Slovinski and Scheutz have in like
manner invented machines for solving arithmeti-
admiration among scientific men Mr.. Babbage
highly extolled it, and deplored that it had found
a purchaser in America instead of England. 1t
can compute mathematical tables, calculate to
sixteen places of figures, and stamp on a plate of
lead the result up to eight places, producing a
matriX or mold from which a cHhe cast in type
metal can be obtained suitable for printing from
1t does its work at the rate of twenty-five figures
or numerals per minute, calculated, recorded and
stamped in metal-an error either in the calcu-
lating or in printing being almost impossible.

Milk and Lime Water in Nervous Dis
orders.

In a paper on Milk with Lime Water as Food
and Medicine in Nervous Disorders presented by
E.. \. Chapman to the Medical Society of the State
Of New York, at its recent annual meeting, the
author deprecates the warfare Of drugs against
disease which is now being waged by specialists more
vigorously and systematically than ever before.
Digestion and assimilation, be asserts, are ignored,
and the attention is absorbed by one or more promi-
nent symptoms in a part remote from the primary
source Of morbid action. Consequently the efforts
of the physician to cure his patient are TOO often I'M
ayailing. He states that having used, the last few
years, milk with lime water almost exclusively as
the diet of his patients, be has attained q success un-
known to him when he depended more on medicine
and less on food. To illustrate the ready assimila-
ton. the nutritive quality aud the remedial power Of
milk, when rendered digestible by lime, be presen-
ted notes of a number Of cases treated by him, en-
bracing a class involving the nerve centers, and
that are acknowledged TO be little under the COM
mand of accepted modes of treatment /; such, for in
stance, as marasmus, anamia, paralysis, lndiges-
ton. neuralgia, chorea, dementia and alcoholism.
In concluding his paper, DR.. Chapman remarks
that the efficacy of milk with lime water in the IL
Illustrative cases brought forward by him is equally
observable in others whenever, either primarily or
secondarily, the nutritiye functions are much at
fault. The milk with q pinch of salt) being rem
dered very acceptable to the stomach by the lime,
NAV almost always with advantage be made the
prime article of diet in the sick room, however d.
verse the conditions. 1t is the most digesuble and
at the same time the most nourishiug food that can
be given. 1t allays gastric and intestinal lrrltabllIty,
offers a duly prepared chyle to the absorbents, sup
plies the blood with all the elements of nutrition,
institutes heathful tissue changes, stimulates the Sc
GREETING and excreting glands. and, in a word, pro-
vides nature with the material required to sustain
herself in her contest with disease. If it be conce-
ded that nature always accomplishes the cure when
ever il is secured, and that drugs merely aid, direct
or modify her efforts to this end, 1t will be self-evi-
dent that the food which supplies that Wit. forces
with all the power of resistance they possess is a
matter of the first Importance, and that milk is ac-
ted upon by lime, provided it contains all the essen
tial properties of other articles epitomized, and is
more friendly than any or all of them, has a range
of application almost as extensive as the disease it
self, whatever its character and whoever the patient.

Advice to Young Men.

Remember, son, that the world is older than you
are, by several years; that for thousands OF years
1t has been so full of smarter and better young
men than Yourself, that their feet stuck out of
the dormer windows that when they died the
old world went whirling on, and not one man in
ten million went to the funeral or even heard of
the death. Be as smart as you can, of course.
Know as much as you can without blowing the
packing out of your cylinder heads shed the
light OF your window abroad in the world, but
don't dazzle people with it. And don imagine
a thing is SO simply because you say 1t is. Don't
be sorry for your father because he knows SO
much less than you. do remember the reply of
DIR. Wayland to the student of Brown Univer-
sity who said it was an easy enough thing to
make proverbs such as Solomon wrote Make
a few, tersely replied the old man. Not more
than two or three, anyhow. The world has
great need of young men, but no greater need
than the young men have of it. Your clothes tit
you better than your fathers fit him they cost
more money, they are more stylish, your nous
tache is neater, the cut of your hair is better,
and you are p~rettier, oh, far prettier than g pa.
But young man, the old gentleman gets the big
gest salary, and his homely, scrambling signature
on the business end of a check will drain more
money out of the bank in five minutes, than you
could get out with a ream of paper and a copper
plate signature in six months. Young men are
useful, son, and they are ornamental, and we all
love them, and we couldn't engineer a picnic
success fully without them. But they are no
novelties, son. Oh, no, nothing of the kind.
They have been here before. Don't be so modest
as to shut yourself clear out, but don't be so
fresh that you will have to be put away in the cool
TO keep from spelling. Don't be afraid that your
merit will not be discovered. People all over the
world are hunting for you and If yon are worth
finding they will find you.-[Hawkeye.

The y. Y. Star prints what IL calls the full text
Of Grants letter. referring 10 his travels in China
and to the schemes for building the ship canal across

Il have now been in Picking three days. and
have seen all OF interest in the city. l have found
China and the Chinese much aS you have often de-
scTibed it and them. Ii Is not a cOuntry nor a
people calculated 10 invite the traveller u make a

chauics. market gardeners and servants from Bonn

a thorough appreciation of the necessity for inter
have a horror Of Introducing them with foreign
capital and under foreign management. Their
idea seems to be rather To educate a sufficient
number OF their own young men abroad. TO fit
them As engineers. macbInists. soldiers. sailors.
etc. and then make their improvements with their
own men and money. Ny belief Is that in less
time from now than half a century Europe will be
complaining of the rapid advance of China"
Respecting the ship canal. Grant fully agrees
with Ammen that the Nicaragua route Is the most
feasible Of all routes ever surveyed. and that a
canal through that country would be not only adj
vantageous 90 the of the world. but es-
pecially 80 10 the commerce of the United States.
The Nicaragua route can be constructed in less

that when Grant returns home he will lend his in

Prince Napoleon's Death.

LASDsMAN's DRIFT, UPOKo RIVER CAMP, JUNE 10.
The Court OF Inquiry into the circumstances of
the death Of Prince Louis Napoleon has concluded,
and the following l. the finding
The Court is Of opinion that Lieut.. Carey did
not understand the position in which he stood to the
Prince and in consequence failed to estimate Alright
the responsibility which fell to his lot. Q%uatermas-
ter General Htrrisou states in evidence that Lieut..
Carey alluding to the escort says DO not cOusid-
or that | had any authority over it After the pre-
else and careful instructions Of Lord Chelmsford,
stating, rs he did, the position the Prince held, and
that he was invariably 10 be accompanied by an es-
cOrt in charge of an officer, the Court considers that
such difference of opinion should not have existed
between officers of the same department.
Secondly, the Court is OF opinion that Lieut..
Carey is much 10 blame in having proceeded on duty
with part Of the escort detained by the Quatermas-
ter-General. The Court can not admit the plea of
responsibility on Lieut.. Carey's part. inasmuch as
he himself took steps to obtain the escort and failed
moreover, the fact that the General
was present on the Itelezi Ridge gave Lieut.. Carey
the opportunity Of consulting him on the matter, of
which he failed 10 avail himself
Thirdly, the Court Is of opinion that the selec-
ton Of the kraal where the halt was made, surround
ed as it was by cover for the enemy, and the ada
cent difficult ground, showed lamentable want OF
military prudence.
"Fourthly. the Court deeply regrets that no eff
fort was made TO rally the escort and show a front TO
the enemy, whereby the possibility Of aiding those
who had failed TO make their retreat might have been
ascertained."
No action has yet been taken on the Courts report.
