DIR. Leonard's Duty to the Community
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
The enemies of Rev DR. Leonard. the Prohi-
bitionst candidate for Governor of Ohio, charge
that he is not wholly gutless of indulgence in
Intoxicating liquors, but he has met them with
triumphant answer. He has drunk liquor, he
confesses, but in each case it was necessary to
save his life. Upon the order of his physician
he cured an obstinate complaint of the digestive
organs with old stock ale. At another crisis he
defeated an attack of malaria with champagne,
and upon still another old Bourbon whisky was
the potent agent which rescued him from an in
fammation of the lungs. While confessing the
wonderful efficacy of the medicine in each in
stance, one can imagine the repugnance with
nauseous draughts. The wide range of disease
from which the Doctor has escaped is almost as
noteworthy as the methods of his cure. 1t is
SAID that whisky in copious rotations is sover-
eign remedy against the effects Of the bite of
rattlesnake Whether the Doctor was ever bit

The annual opening campaign speech of john

scathing rebuke Of the shortcomings Of the De-

Senator John Sherman opened the Ohio cam

will roll up for Foraker in October that the old

will attract universal attention.

THERMAL LEVELS.
How Discrepancies i'll Thermometers Marks
May BE Explained.

How Discrepancies in Thermometer Marks
May BE Explained.
The general fact that the tempera-
ture of the air varies with different
levels above the earth's surface has
long been recognized. M~etcorologists
tell us that there is usually a fsl] of
one degree Fair. for every 800 feet of
ascent above the sea level, with certain
variations for local causes. We may
call this a meteorological thermal tluc-
tuation, and it is always marked by a
fall of temperature with increased ele-
vat:on. But there is an equally i'm.
portant change Of temperature in the
opposite direction, of great Importance
to the farmer and fruit-grower, name
ly, a loss of temperature as we descend
into valleys. In early years l was a
country doctor. and had to take many
a long ride in the night. The road
passed from a high bluff into a deep
valley. with another bluff on the oppo.
site side. When the air was still I
could detect by the change of temper
ature the transition from the warm air
of the bluffs to the chilly air OF the val
ley. 1t was like passing into q cold
stream of water, and the change was
equally abrupt on passing into the
warm air on the opposite bluff.
l appreciate the fact that ones feel
ings a hardly be accepted as a re-
liable test of temperature, and thai a
Thermometer is better than u sensation
to furnish reliable physical data. The
temperature of the open air. for any
given locality. and for the same time,
is supposed by most persons to be a
definite and uniform quantity. If two
persons in the same neighLorhood re-
port different temperatures for the
same hour, it is supposed that such
difference must arse from a difference
in the correctness of the thermometers,
or some accidental variation of ex-
posture, it being assumed that the
temperature of the open air. for a
given locality and identical time would
be the same. Many persons suppose it
is a very simple thing to determine the
temperature of the open I; it is only
necessary TO hang the Thermometer out
doors till it has reached Il point of no
tluctuation and then read off the tenn
perature by the thermometer scale.
But when trial is made even with thrr-
mome.ers that compare favorably with
each other under identical conditions, u
m"rked discrepanc. is often observed
i'll lacns OF near hc:ghLorhood.

GAS TAR.
Its Value as a Preservative From Attacks
of Epidemic Diseases.

Its Value as a Preservative From Attacks
of Epidemic Diseases.
The serious outbreak of cholera with
which France has recently been visited
has caused inquiry to be made as to the
extent to which persons engaged in
particular manufacturing operations
enjoy immunity from or are rendered
more susceptible to the attacks of cpl
demic disease. 1t has been known al
most ever since the establishment of
gasworks that the exhalations arising
in the various processes Of gas manu-
facture-although, perhaps, not spe-
cially pleasing to the olfactory organs
are not detrimental to health, but,
on the contrary, highly beneficial in
special forms of diseases, such as
whooping cough and Group. The ex-
tensive use, in throat ailments, of prep
arations inwhich some form of carbolic
acid figures largely is a testimony to
the value Of this derivative Of coal tar
as a therapeutic agent. A recent issue
Of the Journal dcs Usincs q Gaz con-
tains an article in which particulars are
given respecting certain Investigations
made by DR.. Lemaire some years ago
into the subject of the influence
of coal tar and its derivatives upon the
health of the workmen employed in
the preparation Of these substances.
His inquiries were made chiefly in con-
nection with the employees of the Paris
Gas Company. He found that those
whose duties did not necessitate a pro-
longed stay in the parts of the works
where tar was to be found were liable
to all kinds of ailments, and formed a
considerable proportion of the number
on the sick list; while among the work.
men specially occupied with tar, only
three were sick in the course of seven
years. This result is all the more strik-
ing when the number OF workmen in
the service of the company at the period
referred to is considered. There were
altogether 2O,553 men, of whom 1854
we're engaged in some occupation con-
nected with tar. DIR. Lemaire also
cites the ease of the Bayonne gasworks,
where the wQrkmen had not only not
beea attackedby choleraduring its pre-
valcace. but generally enjoyedi Immunity
from skin diseases. M. Bouley. Il pro-
fessor at the veterinary school at AL
fort, foun1 as long ago as 1860 that gas
works employees escaped during cholera
epidemics, and the communication of
this fact to DR.. Lema;re causel him to
inst tutc his inquiries into the subject.

A Little Girls Success Through Obedience
and Persistent Effort.

and Persistent Effort.
Miss Havergal tells a story in verse
of a young girl named Alice, whose
music-master insists upon her practising
very difficult music. To Alice it seems
cruel that she may not play easy pieces
like other girls. The chords are diff
cult and the melody is subtle. Her
hand wearies, her cheek flushes, and
with clouded brow she makes q protest.
The master will not yield, and she
writes home to her father, who answers
kindly, but firmly, that her teacher
knows what is best. ''Trust and obey"
is her fathers advice. Persuaded to
try again, she at length masters Bee
%thoven's masterpiece. Years afterward
at q brilliant assembly of musical art
lists, when the gentle twilight fills all
hearts with thoughts of peace, Alice is
invited to play some suitable strains.
She selects the very piece that was once
so difficult, but which, thoroughly
learned, has never been forgotten. She
plays it with pure and varied express
sion, and secures the rich approval OF
one OF the masters of song, who con
fesses that even to him Beethoyel's
music had never seemed so beautiful
and SO suggestive as in her rendering:
Then swift up flashed a memory,
"A lon~g-forgotten day;
a memory OF tears once shed.
Ut aching hand and puzzled head.
And of the fathers word that said:
Trust and obey"
The lesson learned in patience then
Was lit by love and duty:
The tolling time was quickly past,
The trusting.time had tleeted fast,
And Alice understood at last
Its mysteries OF beauty.
Many a hard task may yet come tc
both boys and girls. Let them 'lso
trust and obey" and by little and lit
tie they likewise may become interpret
ers OF life's hottest music.-M. y. En-
a%7ai1ser.
