sci. L. Barnes. Of Reno, Nevada,
,.,Cs off consumption by wearing q
/ silver tube, which passes between the
ribs into the lungs. In 1S49 Mr.. Barnes,
then living in Sycamore, De Kalb coun-
ty, Illinois, was declared an incurable
eonsumptive. The lung was tapped
and he recovered. In 1853 he was
again taken down by the disease, when
he once more resorted to the tube and
has worn it constantly ever since.
There Is daily discharge of matter.
Mr.. Barnes Is man Of very regular
habits, does not use tobacco in any
form nor stimulants Of any kind, hardly
ever uses any medicine, excepting
sometimes little iron for the blood; Is
always feeling well when the hole in
his side Is open, sometimes feeling
heayiness there, but has got used to
that. This case is certainly worthy of
the special attention of medical men.
1t seems to give man new lease Of
life, even when apparently as good rs
dead.
When Mr.. Barnes conceived the
idea of tapping his lung, all the physi-
clans but one secuted it as thing that
would prove fatal. However, he per-
suaded DIR. Woodman to perform the
operat ion. In 1853 Mr.. Barnes was in
Honey Lake Valley and was on the
brink of the grave. Now, again, the |
resident physicians were opposed to the
idea of an incision, and after repeated
appeals fer an operation, which was
refused, Mr.. Barnes borrowed lance |
and cut open his side himself. He then
inserted catheter, and drawing off |
nearly quart of matter immediate re-
lief was found. The cough and expec-
toration stopped almost instantly and
Mr.. Barnes was soon upon his feet |
again. Thus has he prolonged his life
over thirty years.

In an interesting paper on the prac-
teal elements of the labor question,
contained in the January number Of
the International Reriep, Mr.. Carroll
ID. Wright indicates the important
place which sanitary science must hold
in the labor question in the future. He
says that Statesmen, in their endeavors
to secure political advantages to their
country, too often fail to discover that
the Governments they administer can
secure through sanitary regulations the
highest order OF supporters. Agitators
do not find in this question so much
matter for popular demonstration
among the operative massives as they
do in the more superficial topics which
give them occupation. The value of
an hour a day from the working time of
men and women surrounded with bad
sanitary conditions without the added
hour Of leisure, bad drainage, bad VEN
tlation, unclean streets, constitute top
les for the most earnest discussion, and
are attraetingthe attention of legislators;
and when the working people them
selves Become aroused to the import
anee Of demanding purer conditions,
the necessary laws will follow, if, indeed,
they are needed. No corporation has
fairly realized the essentials to indus
trial prosperity whose management
cannot or does not appreciate the posi-
tive necessity Of the healthiest surround
ings. Social scientists, indeed, are doing
much to promote reform in the direc-
ton indicated, but education in sanitary
matters Is needed among the workers
themselves; it should become one of the
vital elements Ofthe labor question, vet
the labor reform platforms are rare. If
not absolutely unknown until recently,
that have embodied plank calling for
sanitary regulation. The state can and
should open the door Of every home,

SroCKs-The market which opened strong
soon experienced a break and reaction,
and the early tendency continued to the
close. The reaction to-day is most import
ant. Since the upward movement became
so furious a good deal of stock was sold to
secure the profits accrued, and a consider
able amount was sold "short." Whether
the reaction will continue tomorrow re-
mains to be seen. If it succeeds in liqui-
dating accounts in which there is
oyertrading by the use OF "stop orders
it will be healthful thing for the market.
There is good buying as the market de-

THE LAMP OF VALOR.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

+@Rics, in its heroes" Greece was rich, and Rome
And sturdy Sparta, poor in all beside,
And ancient France; and, set mid foaming seas,
England, our kindred land, and once our home,
Sfiows her heroic roll with steadfast pride:
And have nothing then to match with these
We sae young land which older lands have fed,
The mighty babe of sires whose boards are grey,
Who smile, half leased, half puzzled, as we
grow
HsVe we no heroes then i? not trained or bred
I'm school or FORUM but in sterner way,
To cope with wild woods aud the savage foe?
Have heroes? Answer they who died
AT Concord, Valley Forge and lexington;
Antietam, Gettysburg, She Chesapeake;
who cut the swath of Sherman straight and wide:
Some on the mountains sleep, the sea has some,
And the wide prairie and the bayou-creek,
Each ballowed dust the germ of glory is;
Quick with sleeping message which snail stir
When the sharp crisis comes and calls for men.
Inheritance of valor is in this.
Dead faith to living faith shall minister,
And in the sons the sires shall fight again.
Hand unto hand the Lamp of valor gives.
The hands may perish, but the lamp burns still.
Souls catch and follow the inspiring ray.
TIse fame may fail, may flicker, but it lives,
and still the oil renewed is, ana still
1t leads its own to-day yesterday.
ah- truest hero of our modern age
Whose just-won rest nations tears bedew,
Bending above thy grave yelled brow
Through all the brave days OF thy pilgrimage
Thou heldest the Lamp of Valor strong and true.
What hand shall raise and bear it for us now?
So asked the Romans Ger their Cesar dead
So questioned the sad peers at Roncesvalles
We will not dare to cavi or to fear:
Some hand God steadied, shall receive the trust,
And when for aid the land in peril calls,
Doubt not some dauntless voice shall answer,
"Herel" Christian Union.

FASHIONABLE FANCIES,

WHAT is called the Worth ruffling is
three graduated rows of finely crimped
hsse, each edged with very narrow vaien-
ciennes.
The most fashionable women do not
wear earrings with street costumes or
with morning toilets either at home or
abroad
PLUSH window curtains are the latest
IN house decorations. Those of crimson
are very elegant and are very expensive.
VISITING cards for gentlemen are
smaller and narrower than formerly, with
the prefix Mr.. For time it was the
mode to use the full name only.
BRAIDED dresses will be all the rage in
the spring. Ultra fashionable people
are wearing them now. Braiding is a
particularly graceful style of trimming,
and is quiet and elegant.
New WORKERS have adopted the Euro
pean fashion of buying ready-made
dress skirts In satin, velvet, silk, alpaca
and soft wool, and wearing them with
independent basques and the ever-useful
polonaise. The latter has taken a new
lease OF life, and appears as an overdress
in cloth of many different styles.
The prettiest of pocket-muffs are made
of bleached beaver, in the most exquisite
shades OF old gold and cream. They are
lined with amber or cardinal satin, and
are ornamented with heavy silken cord
arranged in double loops across the front.
They are very small.
PAINTING on silks, satins and other
stutfs is taking the place very largely of
embroidery. Scent satchets, lamp screens
and toilet sets are now almost altogether
painted, and generally in water colors.
Painted parasols will be greatly used an
other season. Lace is painted with fine
effect, especially for evening wear.
VERY high draperies and full paniers
are used on evening dresses. A lining
of white crinoline muslin is put inside
most trains, no matter how rich the fabric
is of which they are made; and the wide
bayaleuse hounces of pleated muslin
and lace at the foot is made heavy
and full enough to support the end Of
the train.
BLACK satin dresses deliberately trim
med with black lace and solid Jet trim
miDgs are the favorite black toilets for
dinner and receptions. Spanish lace Is
most used ON them, and is shown in pure
silk, hand made lace, with new designs
OF fruits and flowers. The bodices of
such dresses are straight across the front
and deeply pointed behind.
COSTUMES for street wear all have the
short, round skirt, and the short skirts
also appear in toilets for carriage and
visiting wear, while being allowable
with dinner dress, and evening toilette
for young ladies. Walking and carriage
costumes are frequently made with
short polonaise as the overdress; or the
drapery is attached to the skirt, the waist
is pointed basque, and the tournure
being hooked up over the back of the
basque, the effect is of the waist and the
back drapery in one, or in the princess
stvla

Prescribing for Child by Telephone.
North Adams (Maa..) CORES. Albany August

North Adams (Mas:.j Cores. albany Argus.1
A few evenings ago a physician was
called by telephone about o'clock at
night The call came from Briggsville,
about two miles away. a child there
was suffering with the Group and in
critical condition. The night was dark
and stormy, and the doctor found moth
ing pleasant in the contemplation of the
trip which he was asked to make. When
preparing to go out in the darkness and
rain his mind conceived bright thought,
which was Immediately followed by acts.
He called the Briggsville House, in
which the little sufferer lay. and request
ed the parents to bring it to the tele-
phone transmitter. This was done. The
child coughed it's croupy cough, and the
doctor listened intently to every sound
which came from his patient. He pre-
scribed remedy, and one of the mem
bers of the family prepared and admin
istered it. The relief was immediate,
and the recovery rapid. The doctor
waited at the telephone until he heard of
