II. V. S. Groesbeck and NJ. Sach, while
on their way from Laramie to this city,
got to discussing the merits of the respec-
tive candidates for the Presidency. The
longer the discussion was continued the
greater was the difference of opinion. At
length it was decided to make a canvas
of the passengers on the train. The
palace cars gave Blaine a slight majority,
but the result was uncertain. When the
canvas completed the vote stood as fol-
lows: st. John 1, Butler ,, Blaine ~,
and Cleveland %.

Quite 4 serious accident occurred to
Nr. Charles Boulter on Saturday. In
company with her husband and two lady
friends, they started on a hunting and
pleasure excursion to the Natural Fort.
In addition to usual paraphernalia, Mrs.
Boulter's pet poodle accompanied the
party.
On Saturday the poodle, in the midst
of his pr%eambulations, wandered to quite
a dangerous position among the rocks,
and resisted all appeals from Mrs. Boulter
to return to terra frma. At length Mrs.
Boulter arrived at the same conclusion
that Mahomet did when the mountain re-
fused to pack up and move into his neigh
borhood, and started to bring down the
poodle II ct arms.
In climbing up the declivity where his
dogship was holding court, slipped and
fell over a small precipice. She suffered
no serious injuries by the fall, except the
severe nervous prostration incident to the
shock. The party returned on Saturday
night, and for several days Mrs. Boulter
has been in~disposed on account of the ac-
cident.

just what the object Of this excursion
means is a yet a matter of conjecture. 1t
is well known that the party have not
been on a pleasure trip, as they have
made a very careful examination of the
rolling stock, fixtures and other property

that Mr.. Kimball is booked for an i'm

cannot be learned. The railroad officials
have nothing to say about the matter and
claim to be utterly in the dark as to what
will take place.

"Hay Fever"


If the dates of attack and disappear
ance were erased from the history of
case of this disease, defy even an
expert to do better than guess the
season of the year in which it occurred,
nor could he make a better guess as
to the duration Of the attack. | am
unable, after very careful study OF
DIR. Wyman's valuable work, to per-
ceive the difference between the Spring
and Fall attacks of the complaint, ex-
cept that they almost uniformly occur.
the one in the Spring and the other in
the Fall; but the individuals who have
the attack uniformly in May, in June.
or in July, relate identically the same
symptoms as do those whose date of at
tack occurs in August or September
All kinds of this class of sufferers are
exempt from attack by resorting to the
same mountainous regions of the
country, and according to my expert
ence, all are relieved by the same kind
of hygienic management, and the same
kind of constitutional and local treat
ment. Cases are not at all uncommon
which may, for n few years, be affected
in the early Summer months, but, from
some unknown cause, pass the usual
period of attack, and experience it
either later or earlier than usual. |
have a young patient under treatment
now, whose first attack occurred in
July. the next in May, and the next in
September.
That others consider the name not
the most suitable is seen from the
following quotation taken from DR..
Boards work. He SAYS:
The appropriateness, or rather the
insuiliciency, of the term hay fever is
now quite generally admitted, for
even where the predisposition exists
hay of any kind, fresh or dried, acts as
an exciting cause in but minority of
cases, and rarely, if ever, is it tho only
irritant that gives rise to the par
oxysms."
The name shay fever" indicates that
hay alone is the cause of the attack,
which is very far from being the case.
! have u patient who can handle hav
at any period of the year without cx-
periencing the least Inconvenience;
another one who is not in the least
affected by it, as long as his scalp and
face is not moist with perspiration.
While this patient is pcrsplring during
: the Waru mOnLnS any KIM OF UuSt, OuL
especially that from an old carpet,
instantly sets him wild with an itching
sensation of his face and eyes, soon
followed by the same sensation in the
nostrils, and by sneezing.
The same objection holds good with
respect to the names ''rose cold, p"
'pollen fever" etc. 1t is almost uni
versally admitted that any one kind of
pollen, or any one kind of flower may
seriously affect some persons. and have
/ no bad effects on others. yet the
phenomena of the disease are alike in
all patients. whether they are attacked
in the Spring, Summer. Fall or Winter.

How to Get Rid Of BeSgars,

There are more ways of killing dog
than choking him to death with butter,
and there are several ways OF getting
rid OF beggars besides telling them TO
go to Halifax. When an unfortunate
mendicant applies to G;lhooly for aid,
that philosopher cheerfully responds:
"Oh, certainly. Have you got
change for dollar?"
I'm ninety-nine cases out of a hun
dred the mendicant replies that he has
not.
I'm sorry. but I've not got anything
smaller. l am always happy to help
the deserving poor"
In cnse the beggar says that he has
got change for dollar. Gilhooly howls
out:
Police! Police!" and denounces the
unfortunate man rs an impostor for
begging when hc has got his pockets
full Of money, which he must have
stolen from somebody, whereupou the
mendicant skips of.

krupp's New Gunpowder.

Krupp, the great gunmaker, has in
troduced new kind of powder, which
is deservedly creating quite sensa-
ton among experts, inasmuch as it
may lead to the disuse of the black
powder. 1t is known under the mod
est name of brown powder, owing to it's
peculiar color, which resembles that of
chocolate or cocoa, and owes its dis
covery TO mere accident. According
to the reports on the trials hitherto
made, the brown powder has decided
advantage over the black in producing
n greater velocity, with an equal
pressure of gas, and being applicable
10 guns of every caliber. The remark
able fact about it is that it explodes
only in n tightly closed space, while in
the open air or in the powder box it ig-
mites slowly and without explosion, al
though it is said to consist of saltpeter,
sulphur and charcoal, like the black
powder, the difference consisting in the
relative proportions of these ingredi-
ents. 1t is supposed that the degree of
carbonizaLion of the wood from which
the charcoal is made plays promin-
ent part in the new discovery, as the
color of the powder seems to indicate;
as also that the dangerous explosions
in mixing and Preparing it may hence
forth be prevented. OF special strate-
gic importance is the fact that the
smoke of the brown powder is much
thinner, and hence will more quickly
disappear than that produced by the
black powder. Trials are now max
ing in all the large artillery services
on the Continent, and if they confirm
the Improvements claimed there can be
no doubt that the new invention may
produce an entire revolution in the
military world.

The Best Filter.
The japanese use porous sandstone

The Japanese use a porous sandstone
followed in the shape of an egg,
through which the water percolates
into a receptacle underneath; the
Egyptians resort to q similar device;
the Spaniards use porous earthen pot.
But these and other similar contriV-
ances can not be thoroughly cleansed; :;
after the most thorough rinsing, some
impurities will remain in the pores of
the stone. Spongy iron and carferal
are open to the same objection; they
will answer we'll for n short time, but
soon become contaminated by polu-
tion retained in their pores. Sponge,
cloth, and felt, unless cleaned every
day or two with hot water, will do
more harm than good, and the average
servant girl will not clean them or any
other filter unless under the eye of her
mistress.
The various forms of filters that are
screwed to the faucet have only to be
hastily examined TO be discarded, as
there is not sufficient filtering material
in them to, be of much utility, and they
very soon become foul and offensive.
Buck says, There is no material
known which can be induced into the
small space of a tap p-filter and accomp-
lish any real purilication of the water
which passes through at the ordinary
rate of flow."
The various complicated closed
filters, filled with any material which
can not be removed for cleansing, con-
denim themselves. No amount of
pumping water through them at differ
ent angles, which is at all likely to be
used, can cleanse them of the impuri-
ties that adhere to the mass and in the
pores of the tiltering material used.
Parks, in his Manual of Practical
Hygiene" says: '.Filters, where the
material is cemented up and cannot be
removed. ought to be abandoned al
together"
The various metal filters in which
the water comes In contact with me-
tallic surfaces, either iron, lead,
timed iron. or zinc. are Objectionable
from their appreciable influence upon
the water retained in them for any con-
siderable time. Pure black tin is the
least Objectionable of any of the metals.
The aim of most nlters is to remove
impurities from the water speedily-as
rapidly as it escapes from the faucet
Experiment shows that effective iiltera-
tion can not be accomplished in this
way, as the water does not remain
long enough in contact with the filter
ing material used to become purified of
much that might be removed by slow
liberation or percolation through the
same appliance. Or all the filtering
materials mentioned it seems to me
, that sand and charcoal are the two that
; accomplish the best results, and OF
these vegetable charcoal is the BEST

new set of balls which obtained direct
from the well-known maker, Mr.. Brown,
has lost in weight in travelling 1000
miles in my machine. Every 200 miles
cleaned and weighed the balls with
all the care and accuracy that the re-
sources of physical laboratory will per-
nit. The set of twelve, when new,
weighed %. .SO400 grm. After 1000
miles they weighed %. S008S grm., the
loss being g. u mgrm., which is equal
to 1-20.S grain; that is. in running
1000 miles each ball lost 1850 grain.
This corresponds to 4 wear of only
