A New York reporter interviewed
three of the most eminent Psychologists
and scientists of that CITY and learned
from them that beer drinking, habit to
which so many thousands of Americans
are addicted, is, even in moderation, a
pernicious thing. The impurities of
beer, and they do not admit Of absolute
ly pure beer, give rise to fatty 4egenera-
ton of the heart and 10 diseases of the
kidneys. 1t interferes with the healthy
action of the liver, and everts an iniur-
ious effect upon all the organs of the
body, the brain most of all.
The electric light is not the only rival
which mother invention has raised up
against coal gas. A company, with So,
100000 capital, has just been organized
to make gas by the decomposition of
steam and liquid hydro-carbon on highly
heated lime. The operation produces
almost pure hydrogen, which being car
bureted, results in a gas of between
thirty and forty candle power The
process, which was discovered by a
French chemist and improved by Pol
ish one, is said. to be economical, and it
is hoped that the new gas will super
sede coal for running engines, and pos
sibly in domestic heating and cookery.
1t is made without coal-oil being used
in its preparation. Some New York gas
companies are proposing to substitute
it for the ordinary article, and if half
that is told of it proves true, it is des-
tined to work great notifications in va
rious operations connected with light
and heat.

American Courtship.

..They don't adore you over here"
writes the American girl returned from
Europe to her European friend, in Hen
ry James, Jr's Point of View" in the
December Century, ''they only make
you think they are going to. Do you
remember the two gentlemen who were
on the ship, and who, after we arrived
here, came to see me toar de role? At
first l never dreamed they were making
love to me, though mamma was sure it
must be that; then as it went on good
while l thought perhaps it was that and
/ ended by seeing that it wasn't any
thing. 1t was simply conversation; they
are very fond OF conversation over here.
Mir. Leverett and MIR. Cockerel disap-
peared one fine day, without the small
est pretension to having broken my

ed on me to think they had. All the
gentlemen are like that; you can't tell
what they mean; everything is very con-
fused; society appears to consist of q
sort of innocent jiltinpn

Bill Nys's Engagement Broken.

81 have just received q letter from
my friend Bill Nye, of the Laramie
City Boomerang, wherein he informs
me that he is engaged to the beautiful
and accomplished Lydia E. Pinkham, of
Vegetable Compound fame, and that
the wedding will take place on next
Christmas. To be sure | am expected
at the wedding. and I'll be on hand if L
can secure clean shirt b. that time,
and the roads amt too bad. But / am
somewhat at loss what to get as 8
suitable present, as Bill informs me in
postscript to his letter, that gifts of
bibles, albums, nickel-plated pickle
dishes, chromos with frames, and the
like, will not be in order, as it is utterly
impossible to pawn articles of this kind
in Laramie City.-1he Bohemian"
We are sorry that the above letter.
which we dashed off in a careless mo-
ment, has been placed before the pub
lie, as later developments have entirely
changed the aspect of the matter, the
engagement between ourseif and Lydia
having been rudely broken by the young
lady herself. She has returned the soil
taire filled ring, and henceforth we can
be nothing more to each other than
friends. The promise which babe fair
to yield SO much joy in the future, has
been ruthlessly yanked asunder, and
two young hearts must bleed through
the coming years. Far be it from US TO
say aught that would reflect upon the
record of Miss Pinkham. 1t would
only imperil her chances in the future
and deny her the sweet satisfaction of
gathering in another guileless sucker
like US. The truth, however, can not
be evaded that Lydia is no longer
young. She is now in the sere and sal
low leaf. The gurgle of girlhood and
the romping, careless grace of her
childhood are matters of ancient history
alone.
We might 60 on and tell how one
thing brought on another till the quar-
rel occurred, and hot words and an as
sault and battery led to this estrange-
ment, but we will not do it. 1t would
be wrong for p great. strong man to
take advantage of his strength and the
public press to speak disparagingly of q
young thing like Lyd.. No matter how
unreasonably she may have treated US,
we are dumb and silent on this point.
Journalists who have been invited and
have purchased costly wedding pres
ents may ship The presents by express
prepaid, and we will accept them, and
struggle along with our first great heart
trouble, while Lydia goes on in heT
mad career.-Laramse Boomerang.

Shinnad

On a very dark June evening I lis
tened TO an awful story of the incorri-
gible badness of a young man who was
dragging an honored name through the
mire. l said: sBut what will they do
with him?n The answer was: ooh,
he'll have to be shipped" Though the
phrase was new, the imagery was ex-
pressive, and one was aware what was
meant. All get the black sheep out of
sight, somewhere beyond the great sea!
My friend went on to say, speaking of
certain great city: when you get there
you will hear people saying, Mr.. Smith
has two sons shipped and the like,
just as matter of course" Too much
pocket-money, and lads getting their
own way, result in this. And the poor
father and mother sometimes though
not by any means always go about bro
ken-hearted to their life's end. Some
take it quite easily, out of sight being
with them Eout of mind. Or, as the
schoolmen said: de non apparentibus
ct non existentious eadem est ratio"
Some folk merely think of getting the
trouble away from here. They are able
to forget that the shipped one lives on
still, though far away. Out of sight
with them is tantamount to having
ceased to be. l suppose we have all
some vague feeling that when human
being goes out of your door, or turns
the corner Of the street and passes out
of sight, he disappears wholly; in any
case that there is marked break III
his life. All, to the man that lives, life
is continuous whatever it may be to
those that look at him or think of him.
Your brothers. your brother still. though
starving on the streets of Frisco. And
10 say that it serves him exactly right
is not much comfort. All that can be
said is that the shipped black sheep
goes to destruction where it does not so
conspicuously disgrace those at home.
Likewise, that when there is a dinner
party at home it is not quite so real
that he is cold and hungry in Colorado
as if he were so in the street below your
windows and in hearing of your hospi-
talities. All the same, used to Won
der how some fathers and sisters man.
age to live at all knowing the facts 1
know. wonder yet. Has it come to
this, that the best you can desire is
quite to forget the bright little boy
whose childish ways bring tears to your
eyes when you remember them; W no is
dead, dead utterly. in the sodden, hulk
ing scamp, liar, and cheat whom you do
not hope to see again in this world or
any other? 1t is bitter world to many;
but one might find heart to bear nearly
anything rather than hat,-Fraser's
Mauazine.

a DISCOURAGED Lover,

She may be giddy, but she's just
about sized you up in shape. and NO
doubt if you keep on trying to love her
without her knowledge or consent she
will hit you with something and put a
Swiss sunset over your eye. Do not
yearn to win her affections all at once.
Give her twenty or thirty years in which
to see your merits. You will have
more to entitle you to her respect by
that time, no doubt. During that time
you may rise to be president and win a
deathless name.
The main thing you have to look out
for now is to restrain yourself from mar
rying people who do not want to marry
you. That style of freshness will. in
thirty or forty years, wear away. If it
does not, probably the vigorous big
brother of some young lady of IT. will
consign you to the silent tomb. Do not
try to promenade with a young lady un-
less she gives her consent. Do not mar
~ one against her wishes Give the
girl a chance. She will appreciate it;
and. even though she may not marry
you, she will permit you to sit on the
fence and watch her when she goes to
marry some one else. Do not be des-
pondent. Be courageous, cad some
day perhaps you will ge. there. At
present the horizon is little bit ioggy.
As you say, she may be so giddy that
she doesn't want steady company
There is glimmer of hope in that. She
may be waiting till she gets over the
agony and annoyance of teething before
she looks seriously into the matter of
matrimony. If that should turn out to
be the case we are not surprised. Give
her chance to grow up, and in the
mean time GO and learn the organ
grinders profession, and fix yourself so
that you can provide for family
Sometimes a girl only IL years old is
able to discern that a young intellectual
giant like you is not going to make a
dazzling success of life as husband.
Brace up and try to forget your sorrow
and you may be happy yet.-Laramie
Boomerang.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT TT.

Mess. Robinson & Hinrichs:-Wet take
this means of attesting our high opinion
of Hinrichs' american Corn Cure. Our
opinion of its value in removing Cor7as
and Warts is based on the fact that we
have used it and have found that it will
do just what you claim for it. As cure
for Corns and Warts it is deserving of
the highest praise. and We take pleasure
in recommending it to all who are afiict-
ed, knowing that it will effect cure in
every instance.

The Comet and the Pah-Utes,

Chief Winnemucca, of the Nevada
Piutes, is dead. He was a great person
age among the Indians, and the medi-
cine men of his tribe say that devils
made uncommonly persistent and clever
efforts to capture his soul. They were
seen sneaking about the neighborhood,
assuming the forms of various beasts;
and trying to get inside the mystic circle
which was drawn around the dying
man's couch, and they might have sue
ceeded had not the comet been sent
to light up and Illustrate their evil de-
signs. Winnemucca died when the
comet was at its brightest, and it is 'ow
bearing away his soul to the realms of
bliss.

Three Mourn for One.

In one of the rooms of the Census Of
fee are two young ladies. Both are
dressed in mourning. One of them has
been in the Census Office for some time,
the other was recently transferred there
from the Land Office. They were both
engaged to the same young man, who
was clerk in the Census Office. He
died some weeks since. One did not
know that he was engaged to the other
until few days since. In one of the
rooms of the Patent Office young lady
grieves the loss of her love. The lover
was the same young man. How he
would have managed if he had lived no
one knows. The two ladies in the Gen.
sus Office look daggers at each other

THE NEW YORK SUN.

More people have read THE SUN during the yeaI
just now passing than ever before since it was
printed. No other newspaper published on this
side of the earth has been bought and read in any
year by SO many men and women.
We are credibly informed that people buy, read
and lise He SUN for the following reasons,
among others:
Because its news columns present in attractive
form and with the greatest possible accuracy
whatever has interest for humankind; the events,
'ia deeds and mlsdeeds, the wisdom. the philos-
clhv, the otabie folly, the solid sense the i'm
proving ncnsense-all the news of the busiest
at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in its remarks
concerning parsons and affairs THE Sun makes a
practice of telling them the exact truth to the
nest OF its ability. three hundred and sixty five

when support ed by general approval. THE Sun
mas absolutely TO purposes to serve. save the in
formation OF Its readers and the furtherance OF
the common good.
Because it il everybody's newspaper. No man
is so humble that THE Sun is Indifferent to his
welfare and his rights 20 man is so rich that it
car allow injustice to he done him. No man, no
association OF men, is powerful enough to be ex-
empt from the strict application of its principles
OF right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for a dozen
years, without intermission and sometimes al
most alone among newspapers, the fight has re-
shifted in the recent overwhelming popular ver-
dict against Robesonism and for honest govern
ment. No matter what party is in power, The
Sun stands and will continue to stand ike a rock
,or the interests of the people against the am BIZ
lion of bosses, the eDcroachments of monopolists
and the dishonest schemes of public robbers.
ali this is what we are lold almost daily by our
friends. One man holds that THE SUN is the best
religious newspaper ever published, because its
Christianity is undiluteG with cant. Another
holds that it is the best Republican newspaper
PINNED because it has already whipped half of
tue rascals ont of that party, and is proceeding
against the other half with undiminished yigor.
