Cheeseborough draw consolation from the
story of rejected Ms. The truth is, un-
questionably, that the road to publication
is beset with more difficulties, and en-
numbered by more obstacles, than any
other path in life. It is also true that
fully seven-tenths Of the Ms. prepared for
publication is not fit for it, How, then,
can the authors of three-tenths that is of
fair and fine quality find encouragement to
struggle from beneath this mass of rubbish ?
If Cable, Adelaide Proctor, James Bushnell
Lowell, Nine. Durand, Hawthorne, Shell
lerS, Goldsmith, DR.. Holland, Miss Harris,
McMaster, Aldrich, Miss Austen, and
long line of past and present authors, were
met by rejection, what is there to encour-
age those who have neither money nor in
huential connections to bring them into
favor with the publishing autocrats?
Publishers may deny as hotly as they
please that "a name" in no wise influences

A Hint to Puny People.

From their arrival on this planet to their
usually early departure from it, people OF
weak constitutions and angular physiques
pass sort of half-existence. Like dormice
they burrow in their home retreats, afraid
of heat, afraid of cold, constantly afraid
that the shadow of the dread reaper will
materialize and exact the forfeit which
he demands from all sooner or later,
No finer medicinal assurance of compara-
tive vigor for the feeble exists than that
afforded by Hosteter's Stomach Bltters.
Used with persistence-not with spurts
and spasms-this genial and professionally
commended tonic will do much toward
infusing strength into puny system, and
rounding off scrawny angles IN the human
figure. Appetite, nerve tranquility and
nightly repose are encouraged by it, and a
malarial, rheumatic, bilious tendency over
come. 1t re-establishes digestion and pre-
vents kidney troubles.

the form of caffeine simultaneously. and
administered tea containing l.5 per cent of
theme, and with the subject under the in
iuence of the drug measured his reaction
time. and the times necessary for simple
psychic processes. He found that the
simple reaction time tended to become
shorter in the drugged than in the normal
condition; the time necessary to choose
between several modes of reaction (choice-
tiIne) was not affected one way or the
other; while the time needed to find an
association for word or similar process
was shortened and the variations in the
times reduced under the influence of
coffee, and was at first shortened and then
heightened under tea. This double effect
of shortening followed by lengthening is
also shown under alcohol, but alcohol
affects the choiee-time, while tea does not.
Again, in the appreciative processes the
shortened times under tea last for some
time before the lengthening sets in, while
the corresponding period is brief with al
cohol. The general effect of alcohol is to
excite, while tea induces fatigue

A MATTER OF BLANKETS.

The Hospital Service of the army last
year needed 1000 four-pound woolen
blankets. The Democratic Administration
advertised for bids to furnish them. En-
glish underbid American manufacturers
by thirty and four -tenths cents per pair.
The Democratic Administration gave the
contract to the foreign country, and today
1000 new blankets used in the Hospital
Service of the United States Army bear
the mark and stamp of the English manu-
facturer, in order that the Government
may save the paltry sum of S6OS. This
same Administration passed these English
made blankets into the country free of
duty, as it had the power to do. But if
the English manufacturer had been re-
quired to deliver the blankets, duty added.
he could not have done so against the
American bill.
so, then, 1t amounts to this, that the
Administration took an unfair advantage
OF the home manufacturer, and hence of
the home workers in wooden mills, by free
ing the bid of his English competitor from
the Custom-house duty Does any Ameri-
can citizen believe this was fair play. or
far trade, or anything else than mean
and pusillanimous bit of stinginess? Was
1t worth while to thus slap American labor
IN the face that raises up independent citi-
zens to the Republic, and Of which
our conditions Of civilization demand a
state Of life in keeping with free institu-
tions Was it worth while, for S6OS
saved to swell the " surplus . that so grieves
the Democratic heart, to put the ill-paid
labor and low conditions OF English factory
workers into unfair competition with the
workingmen and women of America?
The Administration was well aware of
the whole proceeding, and authorized it.
1t required an order of the Secretary of
the Treasury to bring the blankets in free
OF duty, and an order of The Secretary of
War to authorize the application to do so,
and to accept the English bid Is there
any Democratic newspaper, or any Demo-
cratic orator in the land, that can give
good and defensible reason for the action
of the Administration herein described?

singers and artists for the public cere-
monies. Fort Bliss furnished the Fifth
Regiment Band for two days steady music
and the elite of Ell Paso went to the jnde-
pendence ball.
The consequence is that the-old feeling OF
sullen rancor has entirely changed to a
hearty friendship. The civil and military
authorities of Paso del Norte have openly
announced that hereafter nothing but
friendship and good will between the two

WhistIiDg

Speaking of Mrs. Alice J. Shaw, the
American whistler, the Saturday Rerieu of
London remarks that many people have
been asked out to hear her, regarding the
whole thing as a joke, and have come away
in simple wonder at the unloolSed-for dis
play OF her powers They have found her
a sound musician and subtle mistress Of
her particular art They have found that,
through her special medium, she could fill
the Covent Garden with ecstatic trills or
sink into the softest whispered notes, the
execution of which only years of rehearsal
could achieve. 1t may be difficult to con-
celve a whistling prima donna; but the
fact is that whistling as a fine art is
worthy of attentive study.
