Mnscle.Beatins.

In Riga. Russia. there is gymnasium
at which many diseases are cured by
beating the surface o! the body with
the hands, or instruments callel mus
cle-beaters."
These instruments consist Of three
elastic tubes fastened together at the
handle; the circumference of each tube
is about that of q finger. its length, rs
also the thickness OF the material of
which it is made, varies according to
the different purposes for which it is
made. "t i.-.1isl ~ ir1
DIR. Klemm. the manager of the insti-
tuition. holds that. rs 50 much refuse
matter is constantly thrown off through
the skin. it is OF the utmost importance
that this organ should be kept in the
best possible condition. and that the
best method Of doing this and promot-
is muscle-beating. s-
He further holds that the advantage
of this manipulation over all others, Is
that it makes the texture Of the skin
softer and more elastic, and that
its action spreads deeper and not only
promotes nutrition Of muscle. but also
the activity of the blood-yessels of the
bones
1t is especially beneficial in cases of
rheumatism and all chronic diseases re-
sulting from an impaired circulation of
the blood.
II the surface of the body is cold at
any point. it is an Indication Of an OBJ
structed circulation, and by slapping
with the hands or beaters. till the parts
are warm. the equilibrium of the circu-
lation is restored. and serious conse-
quences to health are often avoided.
1t is very old custom to treat the
diseases Of the human body BY me-
chanical means. The most ancient
peoples. the Egyptians aud Indians, had
in use many different manipulstions and
exercises OF the body for the purpose Of
aiding the curative tendencies Of nature.

POLICE SPIES IN RUSSIA.

1t was on Sunday afternoon, the 10th
of July, that we arrived at Wierzbolow,
the first Russian station on the railroad.
Hitherto, from Berlin to this town, we
had been passing through old
Prussia. But here although only one
mile from the last Prussian station, the
change from Germany to Russia was
striking beyond description.

At every station from Wierzbolow to
St Petersburg. the beggars appeared,
crossing themselves. bobbinS their

WOrkingmen's Complaints.

Except for the labor troubles and
the increase of silver and decrease of
gold in the treasury, the trade and
financial outlook is highly satisfac
tory. The spring business has been
very heavy, settlements have moved
along promptly and easily, and there
is Il promise of full crops during the
coming season. There is, indeed,
something alarming in the accumu
latinn of silver in the treasury but
it is probable that Congress will, at
the present session, repeal the com
puisory coinage law, and permit the
department to exercise its own judg-
ment to stop the heaping up of the
big dollars in an excess over the
amount that can he placed in circu-
lation. Nearly ali of the most radi-
cal even of the silver money advO-
Gates now agree that the process of
accumulation has reached the point
of ab.ur,lity, and that halt should
he called upon the coinage, until
some proportion of the surplus gets
into the hands of the people. 1t is
ridiculous to continue Il coinage that
strengi hens in no way the financial
position of the government. and only
to limited extent goes into general
circulation.
But while Congress can very easily
correct this trouble, the agitation
among the labOring classes is OF very
much more Importance, and presents
ii question which is worthy of the
earnest consideration of all men who
have an interest in our future peace
and welfare. All over the country
the working people in the various
trades are holding meetings and set
, ting forth their grievances, and it is
particularly noteworthy that this il

why not do the same as to the last :?
But it is said we ought not to prevent
people from becoming drunkards
against their own will. If drunken
ness is likely to injure others besides
the victims, why not prevent man

pox? If there were a vaccination
that would be preventive of drunk
enness, don't you think the State
would have as much right to make
1t compulsory as the vaccination to
prevent smallpox? To the voters
we say, you are the State, and 1t de-
penis on you, whether or not these
preventive measures shall be taken"
Laws, If they are good laws, always
look to the preventive of wrong as
their chief end rather than its pun
lshment; and they almost always in
yolve interference with some personal
right in their enforcement. 1t is
time this nonsense was put stop to
OF Directing to prohibition laws be-
cause they do what all other laws of
a preventive character do-that is
because they prevent people from
doing as they please in a matter
which affects the general welfare. No
law was ever perfectly observed or
enforced where there was any con-
siderable temptation to its violation.
But prohibition laws have been en-
forced in the local option counties of
Maryland as well as the other laws.
1t is said theSunday laws are violated
in this city. This is, unfortunately,
too true. They are shamefully, and
almost detiantly violated. But does
anyone for this reason want these
laws repealed? 1t is said that any
religion is better than no religion,
and we say any prohibition of whis-
key is better than no prohibition.
The time is coming when Prohibition
will extend over this broad land, and

nation let us remember "The mills

K. D. Morrison on Temperance.

Mr.. Robert Morrison, a prominent
member of the Baltimore bar, in an
address delivered in that city recently
on the subject of Temperance said:
"When an individual finds himself
in a condition of ill-health, it is his
duty to himself to seek for the cause.
and, if possible, to remove it. A man
who has gone some distance on the
voyage of life finds that his digestion
is impaired, his nervous system shat
tered, his brain unsteady in its opera
tions, and seeking for the cause of this
condition, he awakens to the fact that
it is all due to the excessive use of
intoxicating liquor. What had at
first been INDUCED i'm as q social
pleasure, what had afterwards been
resOrted to because of the pleasant
ness of the taste or the exhilaration
of its stimulus, has at last gradually
and imperceptibly become necessi-
ty. What is that mans duty to him
self? 1t is, cost what it may, to
assert the mastery over this perni-
cious body and soul-destroying habit
if ne can. When city finds itself
in an unhealthy condition, when epi-
denies are raging, and the reaper,
death, is doing his most rapid work :.

to seek for and remove the cause.

pauperism prevalent, jails and peni-
tentiaries crowded, the percentage OF

areat their maximum when the liquor
traffic is allowed to flourish untram-
meled, and at the minimum when
that traffic is prohibited, can there be
any doubt that it is the duty of the
State to wipe out and destroy that
traffic? Drunkenness is found to
prevail. What is the remedy? Vel

day, March 18th, the house of Mr..
Phineas Miller, near Maple Run,
Preston county, w. Va, was entirely
destroyed by fire, together with much
of its contents. The loss is estimated
to he over $500, not including the
building. The fire originated in the
garnet, and was not discovered until
it broke through the end Of the house.
and was first discovered by Mr.. Mil
Ter, who was working in field some
distance away. When he reached the
house other members of the family
were engaged in trying to extinguish
the fire, but believing this to be i'm
possible, they, with the aid of some
neighbors who had arrived, succeeded
in saving a few articles of clothing,
bedding and furniture. Mr.. Miller
had one hand painfully burned, and
his wife was so severely burned upon
her hta hands and arms that doubts
We're entertained for few days as to
