A long time was required to reduce carbollc

various other hobbies in the form of RENE

numbers were rushing to drunkenness, lunacy

lately, but happily it costs SO much that 1t

possibilities are powerfully appreciated.
As marked as this craze for remedies Is
the medical habit of finding cause for every
disease. The savages regarded sickness as
form Of depravity, and used to exercise the
devils out of the patients. Modern therapeu-

"Patent Medicine" Advertising.

I met one Of the great patent medicine
manufacturers of the country last week on
the railroad. We got to talking about the
manifest decline in the business Of adver-
Using by means of painting signs on rocks,
barns and fences, setting up stands and
otherwise disfiguring the landscape, and he
said: 'My experience in advertising has
been that though such devices may pay for
awhile, as long as they are novelties, they
are bound in the end to cease to attract at
tention. The only advertising that lasts, is
that in the newspapers. I bad rather have
one days advertising of my medicines in a
paper than month Of three sheet posters
all over New York.
"a good many years ago had a smart
young fellow working for me. He could not
get along with my foreman and had to dis
charge him, though hated to do it. told
him that if could help him to get along by

to borrow $50 He said he had corn cure

He had tried it on himself and found it good
and he thought he could work up sale for
it. had not much confidence in it, but l
loaned him the money. He advertised the
thing first in some Sunday papers. A little
money came in-enough to let him advertise
a couple of times in the dailies. More money
was the result, and he kept on At the end
of year he was running snug business At
the end Of two years he was getting rich.
He had added other medicines to his list, and
became liberal and scientific advertiser.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
The Oklahoma Delegation Interviews The
President-House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29-The delegation
appointed by the Kansas City Oklahoma
delegation had conference today with the
president upon the questions involved in
the Springer bill to provide. territorial
government for Oklahoma and the public
land strip known as mo Mans land. :"
The president seemed well informed upon
the main issues, but made searching in
quiries into various matters of detail,
which were explained apparently to his en-
tire satisfaction. Accompanying the dele
cation were number of civilized Indians,
residents of the Oklahoma territory.
The delegation was introduced by DR..
Morrison Munford, of the Kansas City
Times, who spoke as follows:
Mr.. President: On behalf of the delega-
ton beg TO present to you the memorial
and resolutions adopted by the convention
for the opening of the Indian territory,
held at Kansas City. Mo-, February Sth,
1888. That convention was composed of
delegates from the states of Missouri,
Kansas, Arkansas Colorado and Texas,
the territory of New Mexico and Indian
territory. 1t was largely attended, earnest
and enthusiastic. and at the
assemblage. 1t was presided over by the
governor of Missouri. 1t had been called
by the board of trade of Kansas City, CO.
operating with similar organizations in
other western cities, to give voice to the
predominant and overwhelming opinion of
our people. In its composition it
represented every possible phase of
the question and every diversity Of views.
Among its members were the most prom
inent business men of the western cities.
Well known chiefs and representatives of
the civilized tribes of Indians from the ter
ritory were there, to present their views in
favor of the movement. There was also
represented that universal ele-
ment typified by the grand
sturdy, honest emigrant who seeks home
for himself and family on the few remain
ing acres of the public domain. All of
these elements were represented and had
voice in that convention and the result is
the memorial and resolutions which we
present and which we invite your con-
sideration

Smoke as an Instrument of Warfare.

Smoke as an Instrument OF Warfare.
Smoke will certainly play an important
part in the warfare Of the future At Mil
ford Haven and at Longford harbor it was
artifcially created in Large quantities in or
der to form screens, behind which attacking
forces might, unobserved, approach within
short range of forts and batteries. On each
occasion RATS laden with combustibles were
set on fire and foated into positions from
which the wind carried tho smoke in a sInore
or less dense cloud in the direction Of the de-
Tense.
On the other hand, ever since the introduc-
ton of modern ordnance and rapid rifle fire
it has been felt that the huge volumes of
smoke which would be belched forth during
q battle of the present day would probably
prevent the use of big guns to the best adj
vantage. Smoke, in fact, may, according to
circumstances, be either great assistance or
q grave impairment in warfare. The ideal
state Of things is, Of course, one in which the
production Of smoke shall be controlled, so
that either clear atmosphere or clouded one
may, as need may arise, be created around q
battery or ship in action. This ideal has
now, to some extent, been attained 1t is
found that smoke, as it issues from the muz-
zle of heavy gun, can be almost simutane-
ously precipitated by means of simple
electrical apparatus. The invention is based
upon the researches Of Professor Tyndall,
Lord Rayleigh and Professor Lodge, in the
action Of electricity upon floating dust and
vapor; and it should be Of considerable mill
tary value.-St. James Gazette.
