Man the dissatisfied Animal.

Progress and Poverty" by Henry George.
Granted that man is only a more
highly developed animal; that the
ring-tailed monkey is a distant rela-
tive who has gradually developed aero
batic tendencies, and the humpbacked
whale far off connection who in early
life took to sea-granted that back CT
these he is kin to the vegetable, and is
still subject to the same laws as plants,
fishes, birds, and beasts. Yet there is
still this difference between man and
all other animals-he is the only ami.
NAL whose desires increase as they are
fed; the only animal that is never sat
iSfed. The wants OF every other liv-
ing thing are uniform and fixed. The
OK of today aspires to no more than
did the OK when man first yoked him.
The sea gull Of the English channel
who poises himself above the swift
stream, wants no better food or lodg-
ing than the gulls who circled round
as the keels of Caesars galleys first
grated on British beach. OF all that
nature offers them, be it ever so abund-
ant, all living things save man can on
ly take, and only care for, enough to
supply wants which are definite and
fixed. The only use they can make of
additional supplies or additional oppor-
tunities is to multiply.

Save Your Wiuas

When man has been so fortunate as to
wed a bright eyed, joyous, happy-faced
girl. he should be especially careful of her
health. An invalid wife or mother is
greatly to be pitied; and yet, sometimes,
l.. spite of love, and care, and tenderness,
our women-fOlks do get sick. Beginning
with irregularities and dyspepsia, the gen.
eral health begins to fail, and weakn' IS,
nervous prostratioD, sleeplessness, etc..
make life miserable. The cheeks become
pale, the eyes grow listleSs, the hearts
action enfeebled, the pulse weak, and de-
cay of the pulmonary, digestive, and urin.
airy organs is the result. For restoring
sickly women to health and strength, DR..
Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla
excells all other medicines. 1t is a true
tonic. Its principal ingredients are Yellow
Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juniper, Iron, Buchu,
Celery, and Calisaya bark. 1t builds up
the female system, and will positively
cure falling of the womb, IRE gularities,
leucorThGa, dyspepsia, etc, Ask your

LaWlessness.

The amount of lawlessness along the

Arizona railroad, says correspondent
of the Tombstone Nugget, is scarcely
credible and fearful to contemplate.
There is gang of thugs and thieves

constructionists who scruple at nothing
and regard murder and robbery their
legitimate vocation. A party of these

The Little Shoes Did 1t.

Hartford Times 4,
A young man who had been reclaimed
from the vice of intemperance was
called upon to tell how he was led to
give up drinking. He arose, but looked
for moment very confused. All he
could say was: "The little shoes, they
did it." With a thick voice, as if his
heart was in bis throat, he kept re-
peating this. There was a stare OF
perplexity on every face, and at length
some thoughtless young people began
to litter. The man, in all his embar-
rassment, heard the sound, and rallied
at once. The light came into his eyes
with fash; he drew himself up, and
the choking went from his throat.
Yes, friends" he said, in a voice that
cut its way clear as deep toned bell.

told you the truth-the little shoes did

holding out her feet to her father to
look at her fine new shoes. 1t was

no fist ever struck me such a blow
as those little new shoes. They

Milk a Solvent of Quinine.


1t is not generally known that milk
is not only good solvent of quinine
but that it also DISCUSSES its bitterness
A writer in medical journal states
that, if one grain of the sulphate il
dissolved in one ounce of milk, the so
luton is scarcely perceptibly bitter. A
dose OF FIVE grains may be taken ir
two ounces of milk without rendering
it unpleasant, and, if taken in q
tumblerful of milk, the bitterness dis
appears. Another surgeon recon.
mends the use of solution Of quinine
in glycerine, in the proportion of one
grain to one drachm, the dose to be
taken in a wine-glassful of milk.

Mr.. HammersIough's Electric Light,

MIR. Hammerslough's Electric Light.
Saturday Evening Herald
went to Mr.. Hammerslough's cleo
tric light matinee on Thursday night.
He showed me his new engine, furnace
and machinery for manufacturing the
light. 1t cost him $4,000 to get ready
to make his own light. He used to
burn the Brush electric light. Six
burners cost him Sc each night. With
his new engine and machinery he uses
ten burners night at cost Of $2.75.
That is what I call economy. 1t is
just such careful management that
enables Mr.. Hammerslough to sell

as anybody, and sometimes "leetle
lower" than other houses. The three
large sales rooms in Mr.. Hammer
sleugh's and Mr.. HAIRS store are as

beautiful electric light. / have heard
a good many say that Mr.. Hammer
slough, if he would consent to run for

OF nearly everybody in town. He has
lived here so long and has always been
such a live, enterprising, go-ahead citi-

ment, that he deserves the highest
honors Kansas City could give. He is
SO pleased with his new electric light
that think if he should be mayor, he
would go to work and get the whole
city lighted by electric light. If the
city, thus lighted, could save as much
in proportion as Mr.. Hammerslougl
does in Lighting his store, taxes wouldn't
be so high and the streets would bs
splendidly lighted. Oh. if Mr.. Ham
merslough should run for mayor, and
the boys Of this town could have g
vote, he would be elected by bigger
majority than any man ever had in this
city.

Domestic Electric Lighting.

London Times,
A lecture on electric incandescent
lamps suitable for domestic lighting
was delivered in the concert-room of
the Crystal Palace on March 18th by
Professor Sylvanus p. Thompson, of
the University College, Bristol. So far
back as 1841 the attempt had been
made to construct little electric lamps
by enclosing in glass bulbs thin wires
of platinum or thin strips of carbon,
which on the passage of an electric
current grew white hot. This method
of procuring light from electric cur
rents was revived in 1873 by Mr.. Edi-
son, who at first attempted to construct
platinum lamps, which, however, in
spite of many ingenious contrivances
to protect them from over-heating,
could not be kept frem fusing up.
Eventually Edison settled upon a fila
ment of carbon, but not before a SINH
lar suggestion had been made by Mr..
Swan Of Newcastle. Edison prepared
his flaments from bamboo fibre, Swan
from cotton thread. In each case the
carbonized fibre was fixed in a small
pear-shaped globe, and exhausted as
perfectly as possible of air by mer-
curial air pump. a filament of car
bon thus treated became as elastic as
steel. Similar lamps had been con-
structed by Lane-Fox and by Maxim,
with slight differences of detail in the
manufacture. These little lamps gave
light OF about equal brightness to
one bright gas jet. They were destined
to work revolution in domestic light
ing, since, when supplied by currents
from a central station, they would not
only be cheaper than gas, but would be
far more readily managed and kept in
order. There was no unhealthy smoke
or products Of combustion produced,
very little heat, no smell, and no risk
of explosion. The incandescent lamps
lent themselves with extraordinary IA
cility to the purpose of decoration, and
would doubtless rapidly become the
fashionable mode of lighting. The ex.
perience of the Savoy Theatre showed
that it was practicable to apply them
to large building. The public safety
demanded that no time be lost in max.
ing electric lighting imperative in al
theatres and public buildings. 1t ought
also to be male compulsory to use
electric lamps In coal mines. In few
days the experiment would be tried OF
lighting the Holborn Viaduct and sur
rounding houses by Edison's lamp:
from central station. This would bt
but small sample of the method il
which domestic electric lighting coult
be carried out on large scale. The
lecturer predicted for this method o.
lighting, results far more importan
and wide-reaching than those which
any other kind of electric lightin,
could possibly attain.

Pet Animals and Contagious Diseas s

~ SNHlUldlS anu OOUIdRI DlSedS s.
Journal OF Comparative Medicine.
The fact that pet animals can carry
contagion, and thus be the means of
spreading fatal diseases, is not widely
known or duly appreciated. We have
heard of authentic cases in which scar
let fever was communicated from one
person to another by means Of a cat.
DIR. Hewitt of Lake Superior relates a
somewhat similar instance in which
diphtheria was communicated by the
same animal. He had noticed for sew
eral days that his pet cat was suffering
from an enlargement of the glands of
the neck, he also remarked the same in
other cats. His cat found a resting
place in the wall behind the stove, and
there died. The day the animal was re-
moved diphtheria, IN its most violent
form, broke out in his family, resulting
in the death Of two or three of his chill
dren. the doctor himself barely escap-
ing with his life. Up to this time the
community was remarkably free from
sickness OF any kind. 1t was the start
of a severe epidemic. We refer to this
subject in hopes that more facts bear
ing upon Il may be communicated by
our readers. Such facts are at present
few, but little attention paid to the
matter would, no doubt, secure much
that would be Of importance to com
parative and to preventive medicine.
