A well-known physician in British
India wants to make criminals who
have been sentenced to death useful as
subjects of experiment for the purpose
of ascertaining how to treat cholera
successfully. He would take any pris-
oner under sentence of death who
gave his consent, experiment upon
him, and if the experiment itself did
not result fatally, spare the prisoners
life. As the number of capital con-
victions in British India is between
300 and 400 a year, there would prob
ably be plenty of candidates for the
chance Of escape thus afforded.

A new case of fraud in preserved
food has been disclosed by French
paper. A sample of preserved toma-
toes when examined differed from a
normal specimen by containing much
less dry extract, potassium bitartrate,
and total phosphoric acid. The infer
ence is that the sample in question
contained but little tomato and was
chiefly composed of carrots and pump
kins, the whole being cOlOred with
some aniline dye.

Recent statistics show that in 1884
the number of boiler explosions in the
United States was 152, being less than
in the previous year. There were 254
persons killed and POI injured in them,
however, and the number is much
larger than it should be. Fifty-six Of
the explosions took place in sawmills,
where the so-cal!ed engineer finds atoO
facile fuel in shayings. Men chosen
for such positions should have the
gumption to perceive that such firing
generates steam too rapidly for safety
These people can reduce the general
death rate if they wish, and can espe-
cially reduce the present high per
centsge of mortality among sawmill
engineers.

A correspondent to the Philadel-

of Japan is always pointed at as
model in its way-one of the foremost
departments of the Europeanized gov
eminent. And, indeed, it must in all
fairness be acknowledged that much
credit belongs to Japan for swiftness
in the dispatch of mails, while fettered
with lack of railroads. In the first
place every train carries a mail, and in
Japan, be it known, the imperial rail
roads run through passenger trains
every two hours, and on the Yokohama
railroad nearly every hour. Thus,
while in America three mails each
way, daily, would be esteemed the
climax of facilities. the minimum be-
tween the various cities here is about
ten each way. daily This applies
merely to the railroads. Of course.

Carlsbad, the great German resort
for invalids, was very full the past
season, and there were many Ameri-
can visitors. The population proper
numbers 1900. Till the year 1852
visitors were welcomed with a flourish
of trumpets from the top Of the tower
of the Town Hall; now they receive a
demand on arrival to pay tax Of Is
forms for the privilege of drinking
the waters and listening to the bands
which play in the morning. The prin-
cipal industry of Carlsbad is that of
housing, feeding, and curing invalids.
Though the place is small, as many as
10000 strangers can be accommodated
at a time. During the season, which
begins on the LIST of May and closes on
the LIST of October, nearly 10000 per-
sons spend not less than three weeks
in Carlsbad. There is great industry
there in needles and pins, which are
hand made. When Goethe was here
in 1908 he sent a pound of pins as
present to his Frau Won Stein.

This, from the Missouri Republi-
can, is well said, and we endorse
every word of it:
Really, it begins to look as if
Eustis' denunciation was benefit,
instead of a disadvantage, to the ad-
ministration. President Cleveland's
policy thus far has been experimental
He is feeling his way. He is anxious
to fill thepublic Offices with frst-rate
Democrats, and no others, even if it
takes time to do it-and the Louisi-
ana senator's complaint has afforded
an opportunity to test the opinion of
the party on this course. That opin-
ion, now plainly expressed, is that
the president is doing well. He has
not proceeded as rapidly as some
Democrats desire, but every step of
his progress is in the paths and
through the maxims of the party, and
he is entitled to the party's hearty
and united support"

The phase of European affairs has
entirely changed recently, and Eng
land now occnpies very much the
same position upon the Afghan from
tier that she does in the Soudon, and
has about thrown up the sponge. It
would seem that the Russian minis
ter was nearly correct when he de-
clared England to be a dead dog
upon which Russia could trample at
will. We have always had, and still
have, the highest opinion of English
craftsmanship and English pluck
the present Premier excepted-and
hope to see the good name of Eng
land preserved and her good fortune
achieved. The Russian bully GER
tainly deserves good thrashing.

Mrs. Gee. Gilbert, Bryan, Ohio, writes:
ada. 3. B. HARTa6AN & Co., Columbus,
Ohio: / commenced on the ffeh bottle Of
your PERuNA this morning, and shculd
just as soon think Of doing without my
meals as without my medicine. I
have been doctoring for about four
years, and kept getting worse all the
time and was just giving up in despair
when I got one Of your books, The Ills
of Life" was in bed at the time. /
read and re-read your book and felt like
trying your medicine. My folks thought
there was no use in trying anything more,
! was too far gone, and might as well
make up my mind to die. l told them
PERUNA was the medicine needed, and
! intended to try bottle. It proved suc-
cess in breaking the chills, and If it had
not done one thing more; would have
been satisfied. But it has done more, and
/ feel like another person. Everybody
that sees me is surprised to see me looking
SO well, as they all thought l was dying
with CONSUMPTION, and now my own folks
have as much to say for the PERUNA as
/. I recommend it to everybody I see.
There were two of Our tleighbors in yes
terday inquiring about the PERUNA. /
gave the one my book to read; told her
to tring it back, as priced it very high
ly. The other got the name Of the Pr
RUNA to send to his son in Chicago. He
is telegraph operator My disease Is
something similar to Mrs. Milo migrants,
though nothing compared to being so bad.
There was lump raised on my collar
bone, and it was a long time Before It
looked like opening. The doctor said he
would have to lance it in a few days, but
thought would attend to that myself,
so put a little fly blister on it and it
opened; then put poultice on and then
salve, and kept the salve on all the time.
It got SO bad and spread upon my left
shoulder, and one place under my left
breast. Then there were two places on
my head, one near the temple and one
back Of my ear that was just dreadful.
No tongue can tell what suffered. MY
head felt SO strange sometimes, thought
was going crazy. Since / have used
the PERUNA II don't use the salve any
more) my sores healed up right away.
And oh, what a relief it is to get around
without chilling and having to suffer with
my sores. feel like letting everybody
know all about it."

Love is its own perennial fount of
strength. The strength of affection
is proof not of the worthiness of
the object, but of the largeness of
the soul which loves. Love descends,
not ascends. The might of a river
depends not on the quality of the
soil through which it passes, but on
the inexhaustibleness and depth of
the spring from which it proceeds
The greater mind cleaves to the small
er with more force than the other to
it. A parent loves the child more
than the child the parent; and partly
because the parents heart is larger,
not because the child is worthier.-
The Savior loved. His disciples in
finitely more than His disciples loved
Him, because his heart was infinitely
larger. Love trusts on-ever hopes
and expects better things; and this, a
trust springing from itself and out of
its own deeps alone.

From every quarter Of this great
country there comes up an almost
unanimous expression of approval of
President Cleveland's course. The
people of this country have way Of
reasoning which is, perhaps, not
scientifically logical and it may be
unique; and philosophers and logi-
clans may harp upon induction and
reasoning a prsori but our people
have homely way of arriving at
truth which defes all their laws and
theories, unless, indeed, it be as
Macaulay says: that all persons
naturally reason logically. One thing
is evident, they are Influenced in their
judgment of men and principles, by
strong desire for good, and this sup
port of Mr.. Cleveland evidences this
fact. Thousands were clamoring for
an universal sweep of ofice-holders,
and yet the deliberate course of the
President to t:make haste slowly" is
accepted by them as the best course.
Our deliberate judgement is, while
some of his acts have clashed
with our sentiments, that he is actu-
acted by an honest desire for right
and justice, and that there has not
been in the Presidential chair an
ADLER, more honest or more conscien
tious public servant since the days of
noble "Old Hickory"
