TENDERS WANTED"
HOW THE FARCE is PLAYED.


The Board of Health has spent
$13,S05 during the last two years
for drugs, and Mr.. Gibson stated the
other day that they had been bought
here, because they were obtained as
cheaply here as abroad. Since
Benson, Smith & Co. signed the
anti-ministerial petition however, a
change has come over the spirit of
the old mans dreams.
The first thought that came in to
his head, was "Benson, Smith &
Co." must be punished. So in his
usual i'll considered autorcratic style,
he orders the secretary to order the
Government doctors to buy their
drugs of Hollister only. after a
resolution had been introduce in the
house which would bring this orders
to light n second series of orders
was issued countermanding the first,
and ordering the doctors to send
their orders to the secretary of the
Board, instead of to Hollister. Mr..
Gibson says that the first order was
a mistake. Mr.. Gibson makes a
mistake" when he says so, and by
the new phonetic spelling that kind
of mistake" is spelled Lie.
The willy old fox thought that by
having the orders sent direct to the
secretary, he could then distribute
them to suit himself but then the
poi contract style of calling for
tenders occurred to him as being an
improvement and he forthwith put
the following advertisement in the
Daily Advertiser for three times.
"TENDERs WANTED.
Office of the Board of Health,
July ID, 1884, {
''For a supply of drugs for the
Board of Health; contract to com

''Tenders marked Tenders for
drugs to be sent to this office not
later than Sept. /, 1884.

Mr.. Gibson very conveniently for
gets that he is already buying as
cheaply now as can be had abroad.
Why then does he wish to change the
system. The system of "Tenders, - as
carried on at present, is farce. If the
above call is made in good faith,
why is the notice not put in more
than one paper? Why are not the
terms given in full? "Further infor-
nation as to TERMS" is q conven-
lent way of whipping tue devil around
the stump, and giving the informa-
ton to the party who is already sure
of the contract.
The method of receiving and open
the tenders is also q fraud on it's
face. Instead of the tenders being
sealed, and opened in the presence

be here until Christmas. He would
offer au amendment that no notice
of bills be given after to-day.
Mr.. Widemann said he did not
approve of such folly as this trying
to shut the door in our faces to pre-
vent ourselves getting out, if we wish
to. No member is exceedingly

ried.

The Effect of an Arctic Climate.

Lieutenant Ray says: "The effects of the climate upon materials and men are exactly the same as in tropical coun' try. The boards which were unloaded from the ship to make our house shrunk and cracked open as if under the infiu- ence of tropical sun. And I have suf- fered from thirst there even more scutely than on the arid planes of Arizona and New Mexico. The natives suffer terribly for want of water in the winter time and before the cold season thoroughly sets in. Iprovide I against that for ourselves by cutting and cording up lot of ice about foot thick, which We melt as needed. The natives pleaded with me often for drink, and as that was some thing there need be no lack of as long as our fuel lasted, they had two years of plenty in that respect. As in the tropics, the children reach the age of puberty in few years. Extremes do meet. By wise provision some of the ordinary demands of nature are, in 8 measure, suspended in that latitude, and c mini mum of inconveniences secured. Some of the natives, however, abuse even this indulgence, which may extend over a period of two weeks without hurtful re- suits, and the most frequent calls upon my physician's stores were for laxatives. " "How deep does the snow fall ?" "Only about foot during the season. You see there is no evaporation to speak of, and consequently no precipitation, and the snow is very light. It drifts in the gales, ard after we had got our house built it was not long until it was covered. We ran tunnels then to our ice pack and to two observatories, some distance from the house, and all the time VIC were there the tunnels were our only lines of com mupinafiOn u

THE TERRIBLE RYDRoPHOBIA.
Reported Remedy as it Is Given by a
 French Physician.

M. Louis Pasteur, the celebrated French chemist, claims to have made a discovery of complete cure, or rather antidote, for hyhrophobda. In an in- terview with a Figaro correspondent M. Pasteur says
 "Cauterization of the wound immedi- ately after the bite, as is well known, has been more or less effective, but from to-day anybody bitten by mad dog has only to present himself at the laboratory of the Ecole Normal, and by inoculation ! I will make him completely insuscepti- bIe to the effects of hydrophobia. even if bitten subsequently, by any number of mad dogs.
 "I have been devoting the last four years to this subject. I found out, in the first place, that the uirus rabique loses its intensity by transmission to cer- tain animals, and increases its intensity by transmission to other animals. With the rabbit, for instance, the ViruS ra6ioue increases; with the monkey it decreases. My method was as follows I took the virus direct from the brain of a dog that had died from acute hydro phobia. With this virus I inoculated a monkey. The monkey died.
 "Then with the virus-already weak ened in intensity-taken from this mon- key I inoculateda a second monkey. Then with the virus taken from the second monkey inoculated third monkey, and so on until I obtained virus SC weak as to be almost harmless. Then with this almost harmless virus I inocu- lated rabbit, tue virus being at once increased in intensity.
 "Then with the virus from the first rabbit inoculated second rabbit, and there was another increase in the inten- sity of the virus. Then with the virus of the second rabbit I inoculated g third rabbit, then 8 fourth, until the virus had regained its maximum inten. sity. Thus I obtained virus of different degrees of power. I then took dog and inoculated him, first with the weak. | 0SL NhuS IU1n Luc IdDDlbS Lu6A W1Lu buS virus from the second rabbit, and finally with the rabbit virus of maximum inten. sity. After few days more inoculateo the dog with virus taken directly from the brain of dog that had just died o acute madness. The dog upon which ] had experimented proved completely in susceptible to hydrophobia. The ex pertinent was frequently repeated, al ways with the same successful result.
 "But my discovery did not end hert I took two dogs and inoculated then both with virus taken directly from { dog that had just died of acute hydro phobia. let one of my two dogs thu inoculated alone, and he went mad ant died of acute hydrophobia. subjected the second dog to my treatment, giving him the three rabbit inoculations, be ginning with the weakest and ending with the strongest. This second dog was completely cured, or rather becam, completely unacceptable to hydro phobia."

Post Office Secrets.
RULE OF THE DEPARTMENT AS TO M.
 PARTING INFORMATION.

"There is law of the Post Office Department that requires absolute se- crecy upon the part of employees as to the business of the office. If stranger comes to inquire for letter, or concern ing letters sent, we can give him no in- formation unless he is the party directly interested. It is the same in the money order department. We are not author ized to make known amounts of moneys sent or received. In fact the employees cannot give away any of the business secrets-and this order is of long stand. ing"
 'How does the rule affect the letter. carriers ?"
 ''It is the same as 1 have said con- corning the other departments of the office. Order No. A applies directly to these, and sets forth that as carriers have special opportunity to get hold of information of private character con- corning persons on their routes, they should rigidly guard themselves against repeating any of 1t, or ill any way inti- mating that they have facts which would prove injurious to the persons inter ested. And they are forbidden to give any information as to letters sent or re- ceived by persons on their routes, this latter provision going so far as to include even members of the same family, whether they do or do not live in the same house."
 ''Is the order obeyed literally ?"
 "No complaints have ever been heard, and the gentlemen on the force are such as would not violate the unwritten law of common honor, nor the strict in functions of the department. This order to forget secrets that come in the way of business, is enforced in banking es. tablishments and no infractions are tol. erated. The Post Office Department is likewise emphatic in demanding that the rule shall be obeyed.

Cooking With Oil Stoves.

Mrs. Lincoln, the Boston lecturer on cookery, says: When one tells you that there is 'tno trouble" in using an oi stove you may be morally certain that she does not know what she is talking about. To be sure you are saved addi- tional heat and dust in the summer when you have so much of both from nature herself; but unless you are careful you will have a smoky atmosphere and a disagreeable odor. You needn't have either if you choose to manage properly; the "no trouble" people will have it all the time. The way to avoid it is to keep the burner perfectly clean, and entirely free from the gummy burner deposit which even the best oil will have on the polished brass burner. Every day the burner should be washed in hot, clean studs, thoroughly dried and the wick re- placed; the little brass network about the base of the burner should be care fully wiped and kept free from every particle of dust. The wick should be cut squarely and evenly with sharp scissors, and not even thread should be left that is higher than the rest. When the blaze is extinguished, the wick should be turned down at least half an inch below the edge of the burner. If it is left above, or even with the top, it will absorb oil, and the oil will run over the top, making it greasy and soiled, and emit an unpleasant odor. The best quality of oil should be used, as, after all, it is as fully economical; there is less sediment in it, it will burn to the last drop, will not smoke so badly and does not leave such a rank odor. The stove should be filled after using, and when it is first lighted the blaze should be watched, because it increases in intensity and very soon begins to smoke. It can then be regulated and left for some time, especially if you are baking; if you have water on boiling, as soon as the water reaches the boiling point the flame will increase again and must be turned down. The reason for this nobody pretends to explain, but the | fact remains.

4 Model Ice-Chest,

During the month of March I built an ice-chest for this summer. It was not handsome but 1t was roomy, and would be very nice for the season. of 1884, thought. It worked pretty we'll through March and April, but as the weather begins to warm up that ice chest is about the warmest place around the house. There is actually glow of heat around the ice-chest that I don't notice elsewhere. I've shown 1t to sev- eral personal friends. They seem to think that it is not built tightly enough for an ice-chest. My brother looked at it yesterday, and said that his idea of an ice-chest was that it ought to be tight enough at least to hold tho larger chunks of ice so that they would not escape through the pores of the ice-box. He says he never built one, but it stood to reason that refrigerator like that ought to be constructed so that 1t would keep the COWS ont of it. You don't want to have refrigerator that the cattle can get through the cracks of and eat up you strawberries on ice, he says. A neighbor of mine who once built a hen resort of laths, and now wears thick thumb-nail that looks like Brazil nut as memento of that bullet corral, says my ice-chest is all right enough, only that it is not suited to this climate. He thinks that along Behring Strait, during the holidays, my ice-chest would work like acharm. And even here, he thought, if could keep the fever out of my chest,
 there would be less pain. .-BmL ME.

The Indiana Poet.

James Whitcomb Riley, the Indiana poet, whose verses have made him justly famous, was once hotel-keeper, and he has had strange career. He was born at New Bedford, Mass, and there he lived for many years. His father was the captain of a whaler, but the son never took to the sea. Captain Riley gave the young man an ample fortune when he attained his majority, and young James invested the bulk of it in a hotel, which he named the Ocean View House. Riley sold his hotel in the win. ter of '7S, invested his money in Penn sylvania oil, lost everything, and then moved to Indiana to try farming. Un, til within the last four years he never wrote line of poetry.

To BE TRIED.-There is an inven- ton spoken of which it is thought may abolish the bit. It is called the carrago, or anti-horse torture. It is composed of steel band placed over the front bone of the horse's nose, and to this appliance the reins are attached. The inventor claims for this substitute for the bit that it gives complete control to the driver over the horse without inficting the least discomfort or torture on the animal itself. It has been tried with satisfactory results.

THE WOOL GROWERS.
OrgB niZed Effort to Secure the Restoration of the Tariff of 1867 on Foreign WOOls.

Columbus Delano was chosen President of the Wool Growers National Convention at Chicago. The resolutions say that the product of wool for 1888 reached 320, 900 pounds, valued at more than $100, ,000, 900, and that the value of the sheep slaughtered for food was more than $50 900, 900; and that $500, ,000 900 of capital are invested in it; that the act reducing the duty on foreign wools if fcontinued will great ly diminish, if it does not substantially destroy, the production of sheep and wool in the United States. It was therefore resolved that by or gauized effort they will do all in their power to restore the wool tariff of 1S67 and will vote for such men and with such party organizations only who will favor the restoration of that tar if or its equivalent. A committee of five was appointed to draft an address to all wool grow

Ward in Jail.

Ferdinand Ward, of the firm of Grant S Ward, after spending the greater part of Thursday comforting with his lawyers, friends and relatives, came to the conclusion that it was useless for him to attempt to furnish bail in the proceedings brought against him by the City Chamberlain for obtaining S320, ,000 under false and fraudulent representations, for the reason that if he regained his liberty there was every prospect of his being rearrested on other essary to take him out of the hands of the Sheriff. At late hour Thursday afternoon, therefore, he decided to go to Ludlow Street Jail, and was driven there in company of the deputy sheriff who has had him in charge since his
