would not take away part of the widows

the daughter. 1t ought to have been lone

If the reported death by murder oi the
Ameer OF Afghanistan should be confirmed,
the Eastern question would once again as,
sumo a serious aspect. The situation
would at once become very grave and
troubles might be precipitated at once.
Russia is unruestionably simply awaiting
a pretext upon which to open Aostilities.
She has a large..army upon the border, inn
mense depots of supplies stored to their
fullest capacity, railway and telegraph
communication, and indeed everything to
Indicate that they have gone into the
country to occupy and hold it.
The effect of the death OF the Ameer,
upon the Afghanistans, who are at
best divided in their affections as
between the Russian and English, cannot
be estimated. The manner of his death
would weigh largely in the matter. The
present Amer has never been very popular
and has been able to hold his W up to
now only by the strong arm that was be-
hind him. The report is OF sufficient i'm
port to cause great uneasiness all over
Europe. and to affect the markets. 1t is in
all probability only IL stockjobbing canard,
though all sorts OF unexpected things are
possible in the Orient.

A LITTLE Chinese war has broken out in
st. Louis. Lou Johnson, Il member of the
Canton Society, was murdered by Il ''high-
binder who had come from San Francisco,
upon the payment OF 5000 by the Hong
Kong Society. The murderer, whose name
is All Lung and is said to be a villainous-
looking creature, has been arrested. He
admits that he served a seven years term
in the penitentiary OF California. He has
been recognized as a well known desperate.
The funeral of the victim will take place to-
day and a conflict OF the two societies is
feared. The "child-l like and bland heathens'
are spreading their secret crimes and dis
gustingly bad morals all over the country.
SO long as they confine their murders to
their own race we should make little COM
plant, but they reach out after the white
man too frequently. The country will
have to meet the Chinese evil more vigor-
ously and effectively than it has in the
mast. or serious trouble will ensue.

ID. III. MoFFATT, president OF the Denver&
Rio Grande Railroad, in a recent converse
ton as to the contemplated extensions OF
hat road, said: ''There are man. difficult
ties to overcome. While we are controlled
by strikers and dynamiters it is hard to
get Eastern capital to invest with U.S." He
made the further statement chat the little
narrow gauge employed 5000 men, to
whom it paid 70 per cent. of the earnings
of the company. There is nc doubt that
the recent strike on that road was a sense
less one and unjust to a corporation that
has always treated well it's employees. The
strike has injured the cause of labor and
done inestimable damage to the State. 1t
has been led by a few professional work
ingmen," who have had nothing at stake
and who make it a business to live off the
earnings of the working men. The Knights
of Labor and kindred associations should
guard against the demagogue. He ingrati-
ates himself into their favor and good will
and usually manage to live off them. Let
labor organizations be governed, controlled
and directed by the honest toilers. Send
the demagogues to the rear.

The BabyhOOd of Cocaine.

I. Claiborne, Jr., writes to the Herald OF
Health as follows:
Since the invention OF vaccination and
the discovery Of general anesthesla as a
consequence of the inhalation of chloroform
and ether, no more wonderful and simplese-
cret has been filched from natures healing
stores thar that revealed through the re-
cent discovery Of the local anasthetic, CO.
caine. The discoverer, in the course OF
chemical experiments, accidentally noticed
that an application Of a two per cent. solu-
ton of the muriate cocaine to the eye rem
| dered it insensible to contact with the fin
ger. He was quick to realize the scientific
Importance OF his discovery, which has
since been fully established by numberless
experiments both in Europe and in this
country.
Cocaine is an alkaloid belonging to the
same class of chemicals as quinine, strych-
nine and atropine. 1t is obtained from a
small tree six or eight feet in height, the
lea yes of which, when green, are said to re-
semble the tea plant. 1t grows wild, and is
also cultivated in South America, chiefly in
Peru and Bolivia. It's wonderfully stimu-
lating properties had been recognized by
the natives long before medical men had
any knowledge OF them. By chewing the
leaves together With a little vegetable ashes
conta ming some a!kaii, tie natives OF these
countries are ena Dled TO bear WITH ease the
tolls OF long journeys in the heat OF ii trop-
ical summer. In such high esteem was it
held among these people that they called it
the 'Divine Plant" It's leaves, madei nto
amulets, were secretea aDout the persons OF
the young and old as a talisman against
evil spirits and disease. In 1869 the first
medical treatise upon the plant was writ
ten by a physician OF Seville, and in 1749
it was first brought to Europe. Since the
latter date it has steadily found favor with
the scientific world, until in the fall Of 1854
scientific research eliminated in discover
ing its anesthcStic properties when applied
locally upon any of the mucus membranes
OF the human body. As the Alkaloid it.
self, cocaine, is not freely soluble in water,
its s~oluable.salt, the muriate OF %coaine, has
been used, and is found to possess all the
properties OF alkaloid.
The local an:psthetic effect of the drug
has proved itself OF incalculable value in
enabling surgeons to perform the most del
cate and otherwise tOrtur1ng operations on
the eye without infliction OF pain. All the
operations performed upon the eye, save
those upon the lids, can now be done pain
lessly, without the necessity 0 the patients
undergoing the general insensibility pro-
duced by ether or chloroform.

The Christian churches of Butteare doing
good and effective work, but they might
extend it by establishing commodious and
attractive reading rooms, where young
men and Others might spend their evenings
pleasantly and profitably. Such IA place is
badly needed. At present there is no place
where the young can spend Il pleasant hour
or two and they naturally drift into the
saloons, gambling rooms, or concert halls.
private rooms occupied by these mer
rarely attractive; usually they are
small, untidy, cold and cheerless. They
are rarely occupied save foractual sleeping;
the balance OF the time is spent upon the
streets or such places Of resort as offer the
greatest attractions. Many of these II
men could be saved to lives of honor and
usefulness by Il few dollars expended upon
a cheerful, cosy and homelike room or
rooms, furnished with books and innocent
games. Cannot the churches of the city
unite upon such a work? 1t is a field for
genuine missionary effort.

WITHIN a few weeks, or to speak more
definitely, on July LIST, the following very
important changes will occur in the rates
OF postage in the United States:
/. Any article in a newspaper or other
publication may be marked for Observa-
ton, except by written or printed words,
without increase of postage.
2. All newspapers sent from the office OF
publication, including sample copies, or
when sent from the news agency, to actual
subscribers thereto, o. TO other news agents,
shall be entitled to transmission at the
rate of l cent perpound orfraction thereof,
the postage to be prepaid.
3. The weight of all single-rate letters is
increased from one-half of one ounce each
or fraction thereof to one I'M each or
fraction thereof. The same increase Of
weight is allowed on drop letters, whether
mailed at stations where there is a free de.
livery or where carrier service is not es.
tablished.
4. A special stamp OF the value OF 10
cents may be issued, which, when attached
to a letter, in addition to the lawful post
age thereon, shall entitle the letter to i'm
mediate delivery at any place containing
1000 population or over, according to the
Federal census, within the carrier limit oil
any free delivery Office, or within one mile
of the postoffice coming within the provis-
ions OF this law, which may in like manner
be designated as a special delivery office;
that such specially stamped letters shall be
delivered between Z a.. m. and midnight;
that a book shall be provided in which the
person to whom the letter is addressed
shall acknowledge it's receipt; that messen-
gers for this special delivery are to be paid
80 per cent. of the face value Of all the
stamps received and recorded in a month,
provided that the aggregate compensation
paid to amy one person for such service
shall not exceed $50 per month, and pro
vided further that the regulations for the
delivery OF these specially stamped letters
shall in no way interfere with the prompt
delivery Of letters us provided by law orex-
listing regulations.
These changes reduce the rate OF postage
on letters about one-half, making it the
cheapest service in the world. The other
changes make it the promptest and best in
the world. The Postal Telegraph service
would perfect the system.
