Plain Facts Plainly Spoken.

At one time a discussion Of the secret vice was en-.
tirely avoided by the profession, and medical works
but a few years ago would hardly mention it.
To-day the physician is of q different opinion; he lie
aware that 1t Is his duty-lisagreeable though II
may be--to handle this matter without gloves and
speak plainly about it; and intelligent parents and
guardians will thank him for doing so.
The results attending this destructive vice were or.
merly not understood, or not properly estimated; aud
no Importance being attached to q subject which by
Its nature does not invite close investigation, it was
willingly ignored.
The habit is generally contracted by the young
while attending school; older companions through
their example, may ba responsible for 1t, or it may be
acquired through accident. The excitement once cx'
perienced, the practice will be repeated again and
again, until at last the habit becomes firm and com
pletely enslaves the victim. Mental and nervous Of
~tictions are usually the primary results of self.abuse.
Among the injurious effects may be mentioned lassi.

debility. The boy seeks seclusion, and rarely joins

Newspaper Copyright.

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Daily News,
editorially, says: An effort has been made
to make the public at large believe that
congress will pass no law of newspaper
copyright. Doubtless those interested
in producing such an impression will pro-
coed on the principle that all is fair in
war, even misrepresentation. Primarily
the design of the measure is to put an
end to a sort of theft that has hitherto
gone unpublished because a daily news
paper is the only commercial enterprise
i'll the United States to steal from which
is not a crime. To illustrate this point
with perfect clearness let it be supposed
that a merchant imports goods from Eu-
rope at great cost and that they are
stolen from him, the consequences
to the thief being, in the event of detec-
ton, conviction and imprisonment for
his crime. If a type founder casts a new
and original style of type he protects it
under the laws relating to patents, and
no man may initiate it without becoming
liable to serious penalty. The purpose
of the merchant and inventor is the same.
Each goes to the preliminary expense of
his venture that he may sell what he has
imported or invented at a price that will
yield a profit. The proprietor of a news
paper who imports, so to speak, q valu-
able and interesting piece Of news from
abroad or from another place within the
union, or devotes his own time and talents
to the preparation, that is the invention,
of a readable and often important
matter. is absolutely at the mercy of any
one INSCRIPTIONS enough to steal either.
There may be in this case an outlay oil
money larger than that incurred by the
merchant or inventor. He goes to thai
outlay for the same reason they do, but
he is outside the law and wholly unpro'
tected from any II who may choose tc
appropriate the fruit of his brains or the
news he has purchased. Much has beer
said about the opposition of country pa
pers. There is no little misapprehensio,
of this branch of the subject
Few of the provincial publications, thu
weeklies, semi-weeklies and tri. weekliet
that are largely made up of what ar
known at ''patent insides," will b.
affected at all by the proposed law, tn
object of which is to patent the content
of a newspaper for Just SO long only, say
"a hours, as will prevent them iron
being stolen and used in competition
with a journal paying for them. TIL
country papers" therefore need no
be afraid. There is a class o
provincial papers, a certain kind O
local daily, that will find the operation
of the law very inconvenient. Indeed, j
is against them that its Trainer

city sheet that steals it news and dis
patches from early issues of the mornin.
papers. These two classes howl agains
what will check their dishonesty.

The New York Dynamiters.

Speaking of the explosion in the Vic
toria railway station, London, John j..
Breslin, n of the trustees of the skirm-
ing fund, said to a New York Herald re-
porter: 81 see no reason as yet to be-
lieve that Irishmen had anything to do
with it, but if they had / have no hesita.
ton in condemning their action. I am a
believer in dynamite. If an arsenal, or a
ship of war, or a royal dock-yard, or a
battalion of troops can be blown up,I say
well and good. That is legitimate. These
are quarters in which it is right to attack
England but to blow up a railway station
"a place designed for the use of all man.
kind, l may say-and to take or to en-
danger the lives of civilians-innocent
people, who are simply mlnding their
own private business-that is simply
murderous and infamous. and nothing too
severe can be said in condemnation of it.
There seem to be other people in Eng
land capable of using dynamite besides
Irish revolutionists. There is a socialis-
tic element in London that seems quite
capable of resorting to the use Of dyna-
mite.
"Yes, / think it was some Irishmen's
work. | think it was done in pursuance
of the SYSTEM" said O'Donovan Rosa.
1--WE have been very quiet of late, but
| think the work will go on faster than
ever in a little while. There is a new
agency at work now raising money and
more work will therefore be possible. All
we undertake to do on this side of the
ocean is to aid the men at home. We
send them money. In spite of all the
laws that England can make the chemical
agents necessary can be procured over
there. We are learning simpler and
better ways of making the explosive stuff
all the time, and they have men ready
and willing to carry out the plans among
themselves. Thus, you see, We know very
little of what is going on. We send the
means and await the results"
"But would the blowing up of a rail.
way station be within the scope of your
plansi"
Yes. Our arm is to convince the com
mercial classes of England that it is
cheaper to give up than to hold Ireland,
Therefore any means by which we can
attack the wealth of the country comes
within our lines. This explosion took
place at night. Well, there is no desire
to slaughter people needlassly, and so ]
can understand that night would be
selected for an attack on a great oommer
cial center like the Victoria station, in
order that as few people might be hurt as
possible"
"Do you still find support in this coun'
try for dynamite projects2"
80, yes. Since the execution OF
ODonnell there is a great popular cry for
vengeance-justice / call it-and the dy-
n mite policy has more supporters than
ever before.
The new agency spoken OF by ODono-
van Rosa for the raising of funds for
dynamite purposes is a certain Irish,
America newspaper, which was noted moi
long ago for its strenuous advocacy ol

they struck a COB of beans would fly
out, and before they were half down the

from head to foot. They shut their
eyes and let the sled event"
A girl stood by the crossing as they
passed, and as the sled strucka hummock
n handful of beans hit the girl in the hair,
and as the hot mass began to heat up she
felt that the hairs of her head were num-
bered, and put her hand to her head, and
when the beans burned her hand she
yelled fire and went away on a gallop.
A dog ran along beside the sled and
barked at the boys, but a quart of beans
struck the dog and the weather was too
warm for him, and he ron away
with a hot box. The sled finally
turned over, and boys, beans and
sled rolled and slid for half a block,
and the street was paved with good in

up, scraped the beans off their clothes,
thought the matter over for n minute,
each took hold of a side of the
empty pan and they carried it down to
the armory and reported to the committee

The Dirt-Burning Locomotives.

General Manager Wootten, of the Phil
adelphia and Reading railroad company,
in his report for 1883 says that the num-
Der of engines burning coal dust is III.
These consumed during the year 100, LOG
tons of dust, and Manager Wootten
estimates the saving on this account at
1878 ,OtO. Eighty.three per cent of the
main line coal tonnage was moved by
them, at . cost for fuel per train mile of
2 3.iO cents, against IL 4.lOcents for
those using ordinary prepared anthracite.
II required So pounds of fuel to haul 100
tons one mile against "a pounds in 1882.
Mr.. Wootten says that continued expert
enoe with the dust. burning locomotives
prove the reduced cost of maintaining
them. The temperature of the furnace
is lower, and therefore the wear on the
ere sheets is diminished. He mentions
