Billiards Hard on Smokers.


One of the coolest days recently, pedestri
ans on Clark street stared in amazement at q
big man who shuffied along apparently nearly
overcome with heat. He carried an enor-
nous coons1in coat on his arm, his big fur
cap was pushed back from his forehead, his
coat was unbuttoned, and the perspiratlon
stood in beads on his brow. He was looking
anxiously at the store windows, as If in
search OF something that he'd got to have
and have right off. Along about Washington
street he gave it up as bad job, and tackled
q shivering Chicagoan who was hidden in q
fur collar, and was trying TO keep from
freezing to death.
SAY, strangerr he remarked feebly, wip.
ing his forehead with the back of his hand

The Chicagoan was too much astonished to
reply, and stared blankly at the speaker.
whats the matter with this here durn
town, anyhow" continued the big man,
taking off his cap and unbuttoning his vest.
'All the soda water masheens is done up in

"Hot weather." broke in the other man.
For the Lords sake, man, it's five below!'
'Goshz Is it hot's that?" said the big man
hopping his face and moving into the shade.
'Where'd you como from, anyway" asked
the Chicago man in an awed voice.
"Dakota-an' in the last blizzard l wuz-''
"Oh, / see," said the Chicagoan, "been
pretty cold up your way lately, and you amt

That's it, that's it," responded the Dako-
ia man, drawing himself up with conscious
pride. "Why, In the last blizzard 'twuz so

the experience of two years, years in which
many questions deeply affecting the welfare

glimmer of light she will lie awake and ask
questions, but as soon as bandage them she
goes to Sleep"
Sure enough, not another word was heard

Senator Stanford has been giving some
observations on poverty and the best ways
to abolish it. His theories of the origin of
the troublesome condition may not be quite
so charming as Mr.. Henry George would set
forth; but they are simple; and two of them,
at least, are old acquaintance of every OBJ
serving person. "The sale and use of liquor
and Ignorance of how to save money!" and
especially the latter, were admitted causes Of
poverty long before Mr.. Stanford saw beg
gars in California in 1850, IN places where
'any man could 60 out with tin pan and
earn five dollars before breakfast" Mr..
Stanford's other theory, that much poverty
is caused by lack Of manual training in
schools and colleges, is less venerable as well
as less readily accepted. Mr.. Stanford
thinks that if so many people could be
taught trades that the entire product of this
country should be doubled next year, the
wages would be doubled, either in increase
of money or received or in the smaller cost
of the necessaries of life; and that poverty
will rapidly diminish when everybody
knows how to do some difficult and useful
thing. my great hope" he says, sis in my
university, which / wish to build so tall and
deep and broad that the rudiments of every
useful trade and occupation may be taught"
Whether Senator Stanford's hopes will be
realized at once in his California university
is doubtful. 1t would not be surprising If
the proportion Of carpenters, masons and
maehinsts turned out of Leland Stanford,
Jr., University should be as small as the pro-
portion Of farmers turned out by the Maine
Agricultural College. People have not all
come yet to recognize that the lack Of
trade may be as bad as a taste for liquor or
propensity tosquander; and for some reason,
perhaps the wages have much to do with
it, trades are not esteemed so highly as
clerkships and other employments of appar-
ent ease and gentility. But when great
university backed by millions Of money,
throws the weight of its influence in favor of
system that trains the eye and hand as
well as the memory and the reasoning pow
ers, and sends young men out in life as well
fitted to become successful specialists in the
trades as in law or medicine, leavening
lump will be introduced into society, the
workings of which Senator Stanford may
live to see.

Senator Blair ought to esteem it fortunate
for the bill that bears his name that the
Senate has voted on it, for the longer
il remained under discussion the weaker it
became. The ranks of its friends have great
ly thinned since it was first announced as
the great panacea for iliteracy at the South.
One by one educators who gave it their adj
hesion on the superstition that it would
prove what its author supposed it would. a
help to education, have fallen away from it
until now the mos distinguished college
presidents and educators North and
South are numbered among its en-
emies. This change Of sentiment
has been the result of examination and the
consequent conviction that the bill would
not do what it was advertised to and would
retard rather than advance the cause of edu-
cation at the South. The constitutionality
of the bin is very doubtful, and this also has
had much weight

No work could be more useless than some
of the Notifications which have been planned

coasts Canada should be fortified so that the

Catarh to Consumption.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. 1t is
therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make 1t the object OF
their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive RENE
dies concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical
knowledge have weakened the confidence of the
great majority of sufferers in all advertised RENE
dies. They become resigned to a life of misery
rather than torture themselves with doubtful pail
Natives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and combatted with all our might. In
many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage OF the noSe the
organs of hearing of seeing and of tasting SO af-
fected as to be useless the uvula so elongated, the
throat SO iDfamed and irritated as to produce
constant and distressing cough.
