The habit of administering quinine IN
powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial
inaladies, was once dangerously common;
Happily this practice has undergone wide
reform. Not only the public, but professional
men have adopted, not wholly, of course,
but largely, Hostctter's Stomach Bitters as q
safe bontanic substitute for the perniciOus
alkAloid. The consequences of this change
are most important. Now fever and ague sui
ferers are cured-fOrmerly their complaints
were only for the time relieved, or half cured
the remedy eventually failing to produce
any appreciable effect, except the doses were
increased. A course of the Bitters, persis-
tently followed, breaks up the worst attacks

Dr.. Hunter McGuire's Reflections
While at Sea.

DR.. Hunter Mcclure writes as follows
to the Richmond Dispatch from on board
the ship Umbria, under date of August
9Th: l wish some of your readers, a
you yourself, could enjoy the physical
and mental rest sea-voyage gives an
over-worked and tired man. The change
and rest take the lines out of the weary
and worn face and bring back an equili-
brium of forces. The merchant or the
professional man who runs his brain III
the same groove for years wears out
portion of the machinery of life, and TO
wear out a part is to threaten wreck Of
the whole. Day after day, and week at.
ter week, for years to go over the same
work, the same drudgery; suffer the same
cares and anxieties please the same peo-
pie; prepare the same briefs write edi-
torials for the same readers; preach to
the same hearers; relieve the same di-
seases often hurried for time and hur-
ried for money-life is shortened, and
that which remains is lessened in happi-
ness and value.

A Washington Star reporter called the
attention of Senator Kenna, chairman Of
the democratic congressional committee, TO
the communication Of ex-Civil Service
Commissioner Thoman published Friday.
This letter severely crticises Senator Ken
ma for statements contained in bis campaign
text book. After reading over the printed
lip Mr.. Kenna said.
Judge Tboman addressed letter to the
committee which see by comparison was
the same as that he has published. but he
marked that personal, and thus precluded
any public notice being taken Of it. do
not intend that Judge Thoman or any 9TH
er defender Of past republican methods
shall draw this committee into any contro-
yersy. As to the campaign books / will
-ay this: 1t was published after mature de-
liberation. and its contents are statements
of facts have no apology TO make for it
We stand by all its utterances."

POETR u.
WAIFS OFA WORLD.

Long ere Columbus in the breeze unfurled
HIS venturons sail to hunt the setting sun,
Long ere he fired his first exultant gun
Where strange canoes all round his flagstaff
whirled,
The unSailed ocean which the west wind curlec
Had borne strange waits to Europe, one b
one;
Wood carved by Indian hands and trees lik'
none
Which men then knew, from an untrodden
world
Oh, for waif from DER that wider sea
Whose margin is the grave, in which VT
think
\ gem -bepebbled continent may be-
But all in vain we watch upon the brink;
No waif floats up from black infinity,
Where all who venture out forever sink.

A Yankee Trick.

A six-foot Yankee, seated upon load
of brooms, drove his team up before the
door of an establishment where he ex-
pected to find a purchaser. Jumping
from his seat he entered the store and the
following colloquy took place:
"Yankee-"Can't | sell you a load of
brooms to-day mister?"
Dealer-"No, don't want any"
Yankee-"Better take 'em-sell 'em
log cheap"
Dealer-"Don't want 'em; got enough
brooms."
Yankee-"I'll tell YOU what I'll do.
If you'll take the lot, I'll let 'em go for
dollar dozen you know they're worth
double that"
The dealer stroked his chin for mo-
ment as if in deep thought and then re-
piled: "Well, don't want any brooms
as told you, but don't mind making
trade with you"
Yankee-"What sort of tradeY
Dealer-"Well, I'll take your whole
load at a dollar a dozen, and pay you
one half cash, you take the other half in
rade."
Yankee-"Noyou don't mister You'll
charge me such an ALFRED profit on the
other half that | might come out at the
little end of the horn"
Dealer-"Oh, no, promise you that
you shall have the goods at just what they
cost me-"
Yankee-"Wall, mister, that's what |
call squar' dealin'. It's bargain" And
he commenced TO unload the brooms in n
pile on the sidewalk. When he got
through he walked into the store. "There
you are, mister; fourteen dozen, which
calculate makes just 81 comm to me-"
Dealer-"l es, that's right there's the
money. Now what goods do you want
for the other ST.
Yankee-"Wall, dunno-You see,
mister, hain't much posted in your other
truck, so guess III take brooms"

Jim Mason, Of the West Virginia Dem
ocrGt, has a crow to pick with Senator Cam
den, and because the West Virginia news
papers will not join him in his quarrel he
prolaims that almost the entire press is
hired 10 create false impression that the
Democrat il destroying element in the

papers filled with extracts from the Demo

extracts in Democratic papers He also

The alarm is raised by London medical
journal on the question Of the length at
which the human hair should be worn.
The uncomfortable suggestion is made,
that, as the hair is a conductor Of electrici-
ty to the brain, it is absolutely necessary

part Of the rising generation is to be avoid
ed-that the practice Of indulgiDg in

If the Republican papers Of this the sec
ond district, lay supinely on their backs and
fail TO show up 10 the voters of this the sec
ond district VIM. l.. Wilson in his true
character as a dcmagogue and a machine
politician, they will fail TO do their duty.
The habit he has of crawling through on a
general reputation of being high.toned,
moral candidate, has lasted long enough.
II is time this district should wake up 10 the
fact that il has been misrepresented for the
past four years by altogether the vainest and
most demagogical man that ever went TO
Congress from West Virginia Phiippi Re-
publican.
Hon. W. II. II Flick, the Republican
candidate, doesn't agree with the indecent
editor above quoted. Mr. Flick said, in ac-
cepting the nomination, that his opponent,
Mr. w. L. Wilson, was a scholar, gentle
man and a statesman; and that he expected
no mud throwing in this campaign; that he
appreciated Mr.. Wilson in that he was a
true man; that it would be no disgrace TO be
defe lted by him; to defeat him would be
-orious victory"
