TO STOP A CRYING EVIL.

Synopsis of the Immigration Bill Which
Congressman Ford Wants Passed.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov. 20.-Con-
gresham Ford, chairman of the con-
gressional committee, which has been
investigating the subject of. pauper i'm
migration, is now in this city. He states
that he will issue call for the commit
tee to meet in Washington on the Mon
day or Tuesday before congress con-
venes.
Mr.. Ford says that if his views are
adopted the bill to be presented to con-
gress by the committee will provide for
the appointment of consular inspectors
to every foreign land that sends large
numbers of immigrants to this country,
and these inspectors will be attached to
the American consular and ministers
services in the several countries. Those
who desire to come to this country shall
file applications, giving age, birthplace,
occupation, purpose, pedigree and other
important or material points, thirty,
sixty or ninety days, as may be decided
upon before taking passage, and during
that time the inspectors shall investigate
the past lives and records of the appli-
cants, and then act according to the
finding. If the candidate is honest,
sober and industrious, he will receive
his passport and be welcomed to our
shores. But if he is found to be pauper,
an idiot, a criminal or insane; if he is
depraved and dissolute, or wants to come
over in fulfllment of contract, he
would be rejected.
Mr.. Ford uses some very strong lam
guage in denouncing the wholesale and
indiscriminate unregulated immigration
which has become such crying evil;
and also says that the importation of
contract labor to compete with our work.
ingmen must be stopped. The bill which
the committee will introduce will, If
passed. put an end to that evil

The A4loms Are lew.

In speaking TO his daughter Of his early
struggles for an education, the late Judge
Jere Black told her that in his youth he
considered the multitude Of law books
and despaired Of learning law, Recover
ing himself, he set TO work manIuliy and
became one Of the greatest lawyers Of the
country, not, as he tells Us, by learning
all the books contained, but by learning
that all right law rests or a few plsin
principles. The mastery Of these and the
ability % apply them makes tho great
lawyer 10 whom the world looks as TO
one ''who speaks with authority
1t Is so in every department of human
knowledge. The aXioms are few. The
difficulty is in reaching them, hidden as
they are under a vast multitude Of con
illusions, legitimate and Legitimate, true

correctly, that it has no result reaching

Medical yalue Of peppermint Oil.


In addition to being, from its potency
and other advantages, the best of sur.
gical antiscptics, it is possible that there
lies in oil OF peppermint a power for good
and a field Of therapeutic utility yaster
in extent and importance than any yet
known or suspected. Some cases of
phthisis, in which / have employed it as
an inhalation, lead me 70 hope that we
may find in it a remedy against the
scourge TO which we Jay annually a
tribute OF 10000 lives.
In diphtheria, the greatest OF all de-
siderata has always been such an anti
septic as this-one which may he fear
leSsly applied in the greatest quantity
and the greatest frequency; which is in
nocuous, whether it be swallowed during

tiity, is enabled TO penetrate to every re-
cess, and lie carried through all the It's
sues. Two cases of typical diphthcria in
male adults, part of a small epidemic,
some among the victims Of which died
with its worst features, have been treated
by applications of oil Of peppermint.
These cases afford ground for believing.
therefore. that this drug may be also a

Giuttony Versus intellectually.

Gluttony tends TO cynicism. Coarse
ness and extravaganza of speech and
manner 60 hand in hand with dietetic
excuses, as, for cognate reasons, the re-
pulsiveness of voracious animals is gen.
orally aggravated by a want of cleanli-
ness. Among the natives of the Arctic
regions, where climatic causes make
gluttony q pandemic vice, personal clean
illness is an almost unknown virtue. and
Kane's anecdotes of polar householdhab
its depict a degree of f~.aalor that would
appall q gorilla. Habitual abstemious-
ness, on the other hand, is the concomi-
tant Of modesty, thrift, self control and
evenness of temper, and is compatible
with heroic perseverance, though hardly
with great energy Of vital vigor. The
dietetic self denials Of Luigi Cornaro, q
Venetian nobleman of the Sixteenth CEN
Jury. enabled him to outlive the third
generation Of his cpicurean relatives.
During the latter decades Of his long life
he boasts of having enjoyed q peace Of
mind unattainable by other means.
There are intellectual v~oluptuaries
whose enjoyment Of mental triumphs in
controversy or cositation seem, for the
time being, actually to deaden their cray

Treatment for Sick Headache.

The headache Of indigestion, accom-

ordination, it is easily cured by common

ful in much water-say four 10 six table

hnd if not relieved repeat the dose. The
