Still no Sipn of Tascott.

New York World: William B. Tas-
colt, the murderer of Mr.. Smell. is dead
at least that is the deliberate opinion
of some of the most skilfull detectives
in Chicago. They say that beyond a
doubt the Smell family might just as
we'll increase the S5O, 900 reward now
offered for the young man to 81 600, 600.
1t Will never be paid.
What makes you think he is dead?'
asked a reporter of the local superin-
tendent of well-kuown detective
agency
Because. unquestionably, if he were
alive he would have been caught long
ago" was the reply. I'm the whole
history of crime there never was such
a hunt made for a man. To begin with,
the reward offered for his arrest is very
much the biggest ever offered for any
criminal. That alone would probably
have secured his capture if he were
not in his grave. Then think of the
way his description has been scattered
over the civilized world. There isn't a
postofflce in the United States where
his appearance is not as well known as
1t is here in ChicagO-thcre is hardly
such a postotlice in the wide world.
The circulars Offering the enormous re-
wards have been translated into every
European language and sent around the
globe. How Tascott looks and what he
is wanted for are known in Paris and
Borneo, in Vienna and Melbourne.
Even the islanders in the Pacific ocean
have heard of him. There are spots
he might hide in. where he would be
safe, like Kamtchatka, or some place of
that sort. but it would be impossible for
him TO reach any such place without
being seen on the way by hundreds of
people who would afterwards remember
him from the descriptions in the reward
circulars, even if they did not recognize
him at tirst.n

Medical Value OF Peppermint OIL.
In addition to being, from its potency
and other advantages, the best Of sur
gical antiseptics, it is possible that there
lies In oil of peppermint power for good
and field of therapeutic utility vaster
in extent and importance than any yet
known or suspected. Some cases Of
phthisis, in which I have employed it as
an inhalation, lead me to hope that we
may find in it remedy against the
scourge to which we pay annually q
tribute of 10, 900 lives.
In diphtheria, the greatest of all de-
siderata has always been such an anti
septic as this-one which may be fear
lessly applied in the greatest quantity
and the greatest frequency; which is in
nocuous, whether It be swallowed during
its application, or be respircd into tho
air passages, and which, by its absorp-
ton into the blood and its ready vola-
tility, is enabled to penetrate to every re-
cess, and be carried through all the It's
sues. Two cases of typical diphtheria in
male adults, part of 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
potent weapon in diphtheria. Recover
ing so completely and SO speedily as they
did, their progress resembles neither that
of ordinary" liberated pharyngitis,
treated or not by the usual means, nor Of
diphtheria as it has progressed in cases
have seen treated by the inefficient local
antiseptics in vogue.-London Lancet.
