Masters of Sword and Pen.

Gen. Sheridan handled the pen as
deity as the sword. When his autobi-
ography was concluded it was submitted
to a distinguished literary critic. When
asked for his opinion of the style, the lat
ter replied that he became so absorbed in
reading about Sheridan's fights that he
forgot all about the style of the nara
tive. 1t is notable fact that great SOL
diers are usually successful when they
lay aside the sword for the pen. Caesar
and Xenephon described their own cam
paigns better than any historian who
eyer attempted the task. Napoleon's let
tiers will stand as modtSso of style for all
time. Cardinal Newman considers We'll
lington's dispatches the best specimens
Of compact English III existence. Gen.
Grants book has now universal praise
for its disectness and simple purity of
style. Won Afoltke, too, though ..silent
IN seven languages, is most vigorous
end eloquent writer, as his letters from
ihe Orient testify.-once Week.

Fatth Not the Only Panaeea Found Outside
the PharmacoPeeia-< Queer Remedies.
The beneficial effects of faith have
probably come Under the observation of
us all when It has become question of
change OF doctors. The old medical
atteIdant does not please, a new one who
has been highly recommended is engaged,
and 50 great Is tile patents faith in the
new conner that the progress Of a fatal
disease often seems arrested. It is, of
course, but temporary check, and it Is
only a question OF time before another
new doctor Is looked for. SOMETIMES
OF the other hand. when It is not q case
of the destruction of the vital organs, a
quentiy, too, patients become impressed
with the curative value of certain niedi-
cines. and doctors of long standing have
been puzzled to say where Imagination
or faith ended and reality begfn.
taltn, however, has by no means been
the only panacea found outside the phar-
macopoeia, as the shrewd manufacturers
OF eIxirs, Charms, amulets and magnetic
thlngumboos very well know. Even tho
wlsest OF men are not free from the pecu-

bishop berkeiey, whose loea concerning
the westward course OF the star OF empire
has become proyerbial, was very clever,
very sedate and very good man, yet he
was victim to the ldea that he had dis
covered cureah. The universal restor-
awe IN ms case was tar water. Stir
quart OF tar In gallon OF water, and
drink three glasses OF this water daily,
sarc the nishop, and You would never
Know what It was to suffer pain or even
discomfort. Berkeley was not content
with calling the tar simple remedial
agent, but he went SO far as to write
DOCKS ABOUT his larry water, claiming that
tarccntalned the vital element of the uni
verse. For time tar water had pro-
digious success. Tar water warehouses
were established, and every one was
going to be cured of everything. Then
the people began to remark that there
was Just rs much sickness about as ever,
and gradually the fad died out.

The Wonderful Human Brain.

According to the novel computation of

culating the aggregate cell forces of the
human brain, the cerebral mass is COM
posed of at least 10000, 600 of nerve
cells, each an independent body, organ

Germs its vital functions, but subordinate
to higher purpose in relation to tho
function of the organ; each living a sep

subject to a higher law of function. The

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
L. is stilI an Issue Say the DEM
Ocratic National Committee.
New York Times.

The members of the National
Democratic Committee consider that
the cause of tariff reform toe which
the Democratic party is now COM
mitted will be more promoted by
the party being in opposition than
if President Cleveland was re-elect-
ed and the party should not have a
majority in both branches of Con-
gress. One of the members of the
committee said last evening". "Gen.
Harrison should he assume office,
will first have to confront the ques-
ton of the offices. Will he stand
by the principles of civil service re-
form or will he yield to the 'swork-
ers" of the party, the practical poll
ticians, and "bounce" the Democrats
incontinently2 Whichever course
he might adopt would create dissen-
sions in the party. Again, he must
meet the question of the large and
continually increasing surplus. He
must advise something. Will it be
the abolition of all internal revenue
duties and the expenditure of large
sums o. money upon Notifications
or "internal improvements He
will find the people much more
educated upon the subject of tariff
reform than they were four months
ago, and far less bigoted than they
used to be in favor of high protec-
ton. So the education upon tariff
reform would go on during all the
ensueing years, and in 1892, the
Democracy would be able to win the
fight with comparative ease"

New Jersey will send a Democr.

New Jersey will send Democrat
to succeed Mcpherson in the United
States Senate, If it shall turn out
that the Democrats have lost the
Delaware Legislature, which is not
yet determined, the Senate will still
be tie, the Vice President having
the casting vote. The Senate at
present stands 80 Republicans to
81 Democrats. The election of
Barbour in Virginia to succeed Rid
dleberger makes the parties equal
in strength. Had the Republicans
carried New Jersey they would
have broken the tie, but they didn't,
thank you. Sorry that Morton and
not the Old Roman will be mpire
in that august body.

New Material for Paper PuIn.

The discovery of new use of the cot
ton stalk, for paper pulp, is followed by
the discovery of a method of utilizing the
tops of pine and spruce trees for the
same purpose. This ut once makes mar
ketable a vast mass of hitherto waste
material. 1t is sort OF waste that has
led TO untold mischief in numbering
regions, because, having become dry, it
has been the originating place of nearly
all forest fires in lumber districts. Here
after the tops and branches OF all ever
greens will be gathered, and being
steamed to extract the resinous matter,
will be ground into dry pulp. This is
portable TO any distance, when it can be
used in paper manufacture. The effect
of the two discoveries on paper produc-
ton will be enormous, and for the adj
vantage of the press and people. 1t is
impossible TO avoid the conviction that
i, due time we shall discover that moth
ing need be wasted, but that all things
are useful when properly understood.-
