A Negro Family Turning White.

Ina clinical lecture at the College o.
Physicians and Surgeons, DR.: Henry, j.
REYNOLDS called attention to the peculiar
case of colorcd boy in the city whose
skin is gradually turning white. Such
cases are rare, the doctor said, but this
case was especially peculiar in that,
while the father and mother of the boy
were botn negroes. the mother and six
of the twelve children were also spotted.
One of the remaining children had whlte II,
hair over q rart of his scalp, while the
other five were all black. The changes
in all the spotted members of the family
began while they were still young. The
disease which causes this change was
known as vitiligo, and was probably due
to an impaired function OF the nerves
that presided over the nutrition of the
rart, which produced an imperfect sup
ply or distribution of the pigment or
coloring matter of the skin. The family
are ali otherwise healthy. - Chicago Fe''s.

Traits Of the Turks.

General Lew Wallace, in the course Of
a lecture on the Turks, said that jealousy
of each other is distinctive character
istic of the Turk. He may be relied
upon to keep his word, but the difficult
ty is to induce him to make promise.
When he does his word is as good as
bond. He is not artistic in any sense.
He speaks IN idioms or parallels. His
libraries consist entirely of books of COM
mentaries on the Koran. The tendency
of his literature is to reflection, which
runs from reflection into frenzy. The
faith of the Turks has undergone no
change. They still believe that 'God 10
God and Mohammed is His Prophet"
The General saw many drunken men in
Constantinople, but never one drunken
Turk. The love of the Turk is for chill.
drcn and all dumb animals, and it is i'm.
possible not to see the respect which they
have for women. The cultivated Turks,
old and young, are habitually courteous
among themselves and with strangers.
They arc also the devoutest of people.
They are poor mariners, but courageous
soldiers, and it will not do at this late
day to deny or underestimate their mill
tary valor.

Frightened to Death.

Never frighten children. A man in
Trenton. whose fourtcen-year-old boy
got to staying ont too late nights, put a
black mask on his face, hid in dark al
ley, and jumped out at his son with fear
ful yell as the boy passed by. But it
happened that policeman was strolling
along at the same time, and as he caught
sight of the masked figure lie shriekcd
with terror, ian four miles at the top of
his speed and dropped dead, while the
boy, hastily calling togc her mob OF
his fellows, pursued his father down the
alley, with tricks and language, both
hard. And yet, in spite Of these terrible
lessons, there arc grown people who
foolshly delight in frightening children.
Still, the same person isn't liable to scare
the same boy oftener than once In cen
tury,-BrookEyn Eagle,

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Labor is the girdle of manliness.

Labor is the girdle of manliness.
At every stage of life he reaches, man

Much of our waking experience is

Teach self-denial and make its practice
pleasurable, and you create for the world
a destiny more sublime than ever issued
from the brain of the widest dreamer.
It is certain sign of an ill-heart to be
inclined to defamation. They who are
harmless and innocent can have no graf
ifcation in that way; but it ever arises
from neglect of what is laudable in
ones self, and an impatience of seeingit
in another.
There are few souls who are so vig-
orously organized as to be able to main
tain themselves in the calm of strong
resolve; all honest consc:ences are capa-
BILE of the generosity of day, but almost
all succumb the next morning under the
effort of the sacrifice.

TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT.
Drinking in Kansas.

It is about time that this lying about
drinking in Kansas should come to an
end. There is less drinking in Kansas, and
the people are more temperate, than in
any other State of the American Union.
A temperance millennium has not been
established, it is true; but, on the other,
hand, n;ne-tenths of the drinking and
drunkenness of former years has been
abolished. Further, the temperance SEN
timent is steadily growing in this State,
growing steadily and firmly. Tens of
thousands of men now 60 to bed every
night sober and sclf-respecting who went
to bed every night four or five years ago
soaked with liquor. Thousands of women
and children hungry and in rags five
years ago are now comfortably clad and
sit down every day at the tables pro-
vided with all the necessities of life.
Four-ffths of the people of this State,
knowing that what we assert is true, have
resolved that they will not return to the
old order of things.

and gone to stay. y.-Atchison Champion.

Discussed Blessings.

Disguised Blessings.
I know that trial works tor ends
Too high for sense to trace,
That oft in dark attire He sends
Some embassy Of grace.
May none depart till have gained
The blessings which it bears,
And learned, though late, I entertained
An angel unawares.
So shall bless the hour that sent
The mercy Of the rod,
And build an altar by the tent
Where have met with God.

The encouragement of drunkenness
for the sake of profit on the sale of drink,
is certainly one of the most criminal

adopted by the bravos of any age OR

Sudden Change in the Governorship of
Wyoming.

NyODliHS.
CHICAGO, December 9th.-Commenting
on the appointment of Thomas Moonlight
as Governor of Wyoming the Washington
correspondent of the Daily Netcs telegraphs
that about six weeks ago he was appointed
to this place. Mr.. Baxter is a young man
who graduated at West Point in 1876, and
after few years service in the army re-
signed to go into the ranching business in
that city. Baxter is son of Ex-Governor
Baxter of Arkansas and recently married
a daughter of Mr.. Maghee the richest man
in Tennessee. Baxter was not a candidate
for the Governorship, but came here on his
bridal trip, and was introduced at the
White House and spent several evenings
with Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, and i'm
pressed the President so far that the latter
gave him the appointment but to-day,
instead of sending Baxter's name to the
Senate, the President named Tom Moon
light, of Kansas, a professional office-holder
and politician. Moonlight was one of the
earliest settlers of Kansas, and as an Aboli-
zionist he fought beside John Brown at
Ossawottomie. He served through the
war in Kansas regiment, and was after
ward elected Secretary of State. His pres
ent appointment was a surprise to Kansas
people in Washington, and 1t was even a
greater surprise for the friends of Baxter,
and they have been to the White House
and to the Interior Department to inquire
how it happened. Baxter did not seek the
office, but has not declined, and while in
the city few weeks ago he claimed that he
took much trouble to arrange his business
affairs so that he could perform the duties
1t is said that the reason Governor Baxter
was not nominated is that he is large cat
tie owner and that his sympathies are with
the ranchmen, who are fighting the Gov
ernment on the fencing of public grounds.
He arrived here tonight to protest against
his removal.
The Times Washington correspondent
ascribes as the reason of the President ap-
pointing a successor to Baxter, that Baxter
himself fenced in Government lands.

Points on Rheumatism.

1t is truly matter of the greatest regret
that so many people are ignorant of the
true nature OF rheumatism, and of its inti-
mate association with the economy of di-
gestion. They come to spas thev drink
the waters, they use the baths. they live
regular lives, and avoid excess they enioy
quiet and freedom from business. and lol
their pains and stiffnesses and wearinesses
leave them they are young again, and al
most forget they ever were ILL.,
But away they go back to business, and
perhaps to pleasure, perhaps to unbridled
license in the luxuries of the table: and,
alas back comes the foe with rush. and
in mind and body they are worse than they
were before.
The same holds good as regards a course
of treatment taken without going to a spa.
You take any of the hundred and one
medicines vaunted as compile cure of rheu-
matism; you take also a course Of Turkish
baths; and one way or another you man
age to drive the acid on which your trouble
depends out of your system. And all
would be well and good if stricter attention
were paid to the rules of correct living, and
errors of diet more carefully avoided.
The worst of rheumatism is that every
attack leaves the sufferer more liable to
another; that changes take place in the
sheaths of tendons; that deposits occur
around joints; that the smaller arteries
the minute, hair-like ramiicatIons that
supply the siLews and joints-become ossi-
fed that capillaries may lose their elas-
ticity and become Ossified, and liable TO
burst even in vital parts; and that hope,
which is often cure in itself in other dis
eases, is the worst friend rheumatic per-
son can have if it flatters him, and blinds
him to all sense of danger.
leaving spas out OF count therefore
leaving medicinal treatment on one side
this paper will not have been written in
vain if / can only get those of my readers
whom it concerns TO remember that this
heart breaking disease, rheumatism. de-
pends upon an acid condition of blood and
system, which, though it may be palliated
by medicine and a course OF waters, baths,
etc, can only be held in check by most
careful attention to diet and clothing.
Most people will do well to reduce the
diet by even one-half. All will do we'll to
live abstemiOusly and TO abiure stimulanls,
or let the doctor prescribe them, because
he will tell you that they must only be
taken tvth food
Woolen clothing, then, regulated diet,
avoidance of everything likely TO cause
acidity, regular exercise, the cold bath be-
fore breakfast open air exercise-not vio-
lent-and an annual and complete holiday
these will do more good in quelling rheu-
matte tendency than medicine or anything

was reported yesterday that Rev. Dr. Ed
ward McGlynn, pastor of st. Stephens Ro-
man Catholic Church, had been deposed
from his priestly office in consequence OF
his political activity in connection with
Henry Georges Mayoralty campaign. This
is not exactly true. DIR. McGlynn has not
been silenced as yet, but he has been sum-
moned to Rome to explain certain political
utterances and acts of his that have not
met with the approval of his immediate
successors. This assertion rests upon the
authority of Archbishop CoIrigan.
