Republicans should remember that
u. S. Senator is to be elected by
the next legislature. A vote for Hol-
brook, Curtiss and Smith will help to
make Republican majority in the
Legislature, thus ensuring the Senator

When the result of the charter cleo.
ton in Newark, n. j., was first an
nounced the Democrats were boastful
that New Jersey would give Demo-
cratic majority this fall. Complete
returns show that the victory belongs
to the Republicans. Two years ago
the Democrats elected their Mayor
by 1900 majority. Now the Republi.
cans have a majority of goo on the
Alderman elected in the city. The
actual result dumbfoundeds Demo
cratic leaders. rs ..ut.,
The Republican nominee for State
Senator in this distric. is John Hol
brook, man of answering rectitude.
MIR. Holbrook has held the Office OF
supervisor, township clerk, township
treasurer, has been lecturer Of the
Michigan State Grange and was
elected to the State Senate two years
ago by vote of 7,I63 to 6,56o for
H. H. Pulver. Let every voter who
wishes to oppose the dictation of the
Michigan Liquor dealers association
vote for John Holbrook. o.
1t is reassuring to read the dis.
patch from Owosso, in Wednesdays
Free Press on the bright prospect of
Shiawassee county democracy. How
the farmers are asking for and
being literally supplied with cam
raigp documents enlightening them
on the Tariff, and Of the intense
crowds, and interest manifested at
the Demo rat meetings, in the var
ious townships. We would like to
say just at this point that there are
probably rot four townships in the
county that will give Democratic
majority and that Shiawassee county
will give an increased Republican
majority this year. Exactly the same
kind Of Democratic drivel is retailed
this year from almost precisely the
same drivellers as has formerly availed
nothing in the townships. The aver
age farmer has as little use for the
emarations from Burt's literary bu-
reau as he would have for Chinese
book of prayers. The call for Dem.
ocratic documents is evidently not
equal to the supply for so plenty
have they been that the chief distrib-
utter has scattered them along the
roadside The fact is that Shiawassee
county farmers reason, and it is now
just about five months since their
wool was marketed, and will be a
few months longer than that when
another clip will be ready to sell.
No fallacious representation of the
",arif is tax" from either campaign
documents or the pious predictions
Of the sanity Sharts will avail.

A speciae for Alcoholism.

A specific against drunkenness has often
been sought, but as yet there has been
found no remedy except that of moral de.

complished in this manner is encourag-
ing, there is a wide field for the use of
some physical method for the reclamation
Of besotted individuals who cannot be
reached by moral suasion. DR.. Porting.
slow, a well known physician and writer,
declares that the desire for drink is a dis.
ease, and must be treated by means f ther
Gpeutics He claims that as quinine is n
specific against fever. so are ~subcutaneous
injections of st%rychnine the absolute
means Of curing the passion for intoxi-
eating liquors. 1t appears that so far
back as 1878 this method of treating was
employed, but it attracted little attention
In 1884 the celebrated French physi
clan, Dujardin-B oimetz, was u most zeal
Gus advocate of this method of treatment
The preparation and application of the
injection is quite simple. One grain of
strychnine is dissolved in 200 drops of
water, and the patient receives an mice
ton of five drops daily for n week or ten
days. The effects of the injections are
surprising; after two or three of them the
drunkard has an appetite and is able to
sleep. If, after the expiration of several
months, the desire for strong drink re.
turns, the result of indulgence is so dis
tressiug, palpitation of the heart, head
ache and other equally disturbing effects,
that it becomes impossible for the inebri
ate to touch another drop. 1t is recon
mended to make the injections during the
drunken sleep, when the patient awakens
in the full possession of his senses and
will ask for a second or third application.
1t would be an admirable arrangement if
the police surgeons would test his

He Was lawfully Nice"

In the morning n party of st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Milwaukee people, about
100 in all, hired a train. went up to Wind
sor and thence up the Thames in stenn
launches. They were a merry crowd.
When the train reached Windsor the
party strolled through the parks sur.
rounding the castle. laughing and sing,
ing, much to the amazement of the simple
villagers and awe stricken attendants,
Half a dozen pretty western girls were
romping ahead of the main party at the
foot of the castle wall when they sud.
denly came upon a tall, military looking
young man in riding costume. carrying a
big bunch of ~primroses and wild flowers.
"Oh, what pretty fowers!' cried one of
the misses. Where do you get them,
sir?' she asked. looking inquiringly at the
young man, her face betraying not the
slightest sign of embarrassment.
II picked them over there. said the one
addressed, pointing to an Enclosure with
his riding whip. But you couldn't reach
them because that's private property
Suppose you take these. | can get some
more.
He handed over the entire bunch, lifted
his hat politely and walked back for more
flowers. The girls thought him lawfully
nice, but they didn't know he was Prince
Henry of B~attenberg, the queens son-in-
law, who, as n matter of duty, religiously
picks wild flowers for her majesty every
day.-London Cor. New York Press.

Our red headed girls have at last got
the joke on the public. Every time a
pretty girl with red hair enters an ele.
waited train heads are stuck out of the
windows and necks are GRAINED to see if
there isn't a white horse following the
train. If she gets on to a ~ferryboat people
look as if they expected a species of Per.
seus of some kind to pass the boat. She
has got tired of this and of the miniature
white horse that the Broadway dude wears
ON his watch chain and flaunts insolently
In her face as she enters u car. She has a
new scheme-a counter i~rritant. It's n
white horse breastpin made of celluloid,
which she wears conspicuously at her
throat. Instead of staring at her and the
road alternately, people give her undi.
vided attention for a minute, and when
they discover the joke they smile and pass
on, glad for a chance to attend to their
w brsiness.-New York Telegram.

rluency of the Sign Language.

Before spoken language was there wero
signs; before speech stepped in there were
gestures; the face did duty ms a r~cvealer
of the emotions, and the hands accom-.
panied by ges~ticulation. as that of ideas,
and for all the ordinary purposes of life
the code is amply sufficient. Watch two
deaf people as they use it. They have
plenty to say and know how to say it.
Their talk may not last more than ten
minutes, but if all that talk was written
out it would cover an astonishingly large
amount of space. Politics, social topics,
all may have been discussed with equal
facility.
True, the deaf make a free use of the
manual alphabet in connection with signs,
but the cause lies rather in muscular
WEAKNESS than in any inadequacy on the
part Of the signs themselves. AS devel.
oped in the schools for the deaf. the sign
language has a capacity for thought ex-
preston absolutely marvellous Moreover
1t Is swift, comprehensive-and vet con.
densed-and above all, it is silent. a
universally understood code of signs
would do away with the strident and oft.
time profane efforts to understand and be
understood, which are at once the dread
and torment of the average tourist.-De
troit Free Press.

paris and London compnred.

Paris interests me more, or at least en-.
tertains me more, than London 1t is
more foreign. more brilliant in its shops
and drives and more volatile in it's dispo-
sition. The climate, too, is better. 1t is
not quite so warm as the day we sailed,
but the sky is blue, the sun warm. u
breeze blows and all Paris is in the open
air The fog and smoke that darkened
London, and which make every "inhabitant
n smoke consumer there, are both hap
PLY absent in Paris. Then, again, the
eating here is infinitely superior. Eng
land is more c~eremonious, more dignified,
and London is more ponderous. 1t strikes
me as a great physical and intellectual
force. Paris, per contra. is organized to
minister to the eye and ear and passion.
to physical enjoyment in it's most stump
tuous and sensuous forms. While at thu
Metropole gentlemen were expected to
wear dress suits every evening at table
dhote and to stalls at the theatre, and
ladies to go without bonnets, and, as a
rule, to dress decollete; in Paris a dress
suit or a dress open at the throat are ex-
ceptions.
There are Americans here at this hotel
by the score, but it is a wonderfully quiet
place when contrasted with the Metropolis
in London. The comparison is fair, be.
cause each in it's own city is regarded as
of the very first rank. The strawberries
here are phenomenally large and of su.
perb flavor, and do not have that hard
and insipid core that large American Der.
ries have. The lettuce differs in looks
from ours, and is decidedly better. As
you know, the French chef knows how to
blend his oil. vinegar, salt, pepper, etc,
that you cannot detect the special taste
of any one of the ingredients, but where
IL most toothsome compound flavor re-
suits. For salads and sauces, of course,
everybody knows the French are perfect,

A singular effect of a gale of ice and
snow in the northwest during a cold wave
last winter was to freeze the eyes shut
and then form an ice mask over the face.
The wind would drive the fine, hard snow
into the eyes, causing them to water.
The snow would mix with the water, be.
tween the eyelids, and the cold wind
would at once bind the lids together by
an ice band. The repeated removal of
this would in1ame the eeyeballs SO that a
film would form, ~obscuring the sight.
After this film formed, the presence of
the ice was a relief to the inflammation.
The eyes would soon be frozen so close
that nothing but steady artificial heat
would relieve them.-Boston Budget.

1t has been proposed to do away with

portion of which is filed with n mixture

which collects in the condensers of the

to the requirements in this case the cart.
ridge is put in its intended place md then,
by suitable mechanism, the acid is allowed
to flow into the zinc, hydrogen is then
evolved. and by it's expansive force the
rock is broken down without combustion

According to L'Industrie Parisienne, a
laundryman in the vicinity of Paris has
discovered a very ingenious method of
cleaning linen without soap. Ee uses no
soap or I've, nor chlorine, but replaces
these substances by boiled potatoes, with
which he rubs the linen. This curious
process. it appears, is much superior to
those hitherto employed. and the worst
soiled cotton, linen or silk. cleaned by
this method, are made whittier than thev
could be by the use of an alkali. Besides,
the method has the advantage that brushes
can be dispensed with and well water be
used.-Erank Leslie's.

HEAVEN AND EARTH.

There G:- no shadows whore there is no sum-;
There is no beauty where there is no shade:
And ell things in two lines of glory run,
Darkness and light, ebon and gold inlaid.
God comes among us through the shrouds of air;
And his dim track is like the silvcry wake
Left by yon pinnace on the mountain lake
Fading and reappearing here and there.
The lamps and wells through heav'n and earth
that move,
Go in and out, rs Jealous of their light,
Like sailing stars upon a misty night.
Death is the shade of coming night; and love
Yearns for her dear ones in the holy tomb,
Because bright things are better seen in glooml
