TALK TO MEN.

One OF the most interesting services OF the
day was the meeting for men held OF the
Young Mems Christian Association at T..
Nj. over 200 men were present and Rev.
Mr. AtwilPs talk on WOrldliness," which
was mastorly effort, was listened to with
the closest attention.
After showing the frothiness OF the allure
monls offered TO men by the world and the
emptiness Of those things for which men are
sellishly striving to-day, the speaker turned
attention 10 a noble ie-the Cbristian-and
showed the noOlcDo-s OF living unselfsby
for something grander in this life and more
enduring in the world 10 come. In glowing
language he showed the victorious warfare
OF the man of God over the sinful nature,
and taking the life Of Daniel showed how
God had blessed aud helped him In living up
TO his " lie principle" The speaker closed
with an earnest appeal TO young men 10 for
sake the evils Of worldly life aud begin the
lie Of a Christian.
The singing was in charge Of male
chords led by Mr.. Il. :. NJ. Valentine, and
vas especially good. Master Carroll Red
ford, a boy Of twelve years, who sings with
Brown and Avis, the eyangehsts, sang n
solo very sweetly.

"patent n1edleinen Advertising.

1 met one of the great patent medicine
manufacturers of the country last week on
the railroad. We got to talking about the
manifest decline in the business of adver-
Using by means of painting signs on rocks,
barns and fences, setting up stands and
otherwise ~disfiguring the landscape, and he
said: "My experience in advertising has
been that though such devices may pay for
awhile, as long as they are novelties, they
are bound in the end to cease to attract at
tention. The only advertising that lasts is
that in the newspapers. / had rather have
one days advertising of my medicines in q
paper than a month of three sheet posters
all over New York.
"a good many years ago 1 had a smart
young fellow working for me. He could not
get along with my foreman and l had to dis
charge him, though l / hated to do it. L told
him that if 1 could help him to get along by
himself 1 would do SO. One day he came to me
to borrow $50. He said he had n corn cure
that some old countryman had given him.
He had tried it on himself and found it good
and he thought he could work up a sale for
it. had not much confidence in it, but l
loaned him the money. He advertised the
thing first in some Sunday papers. A little
money came in-enough to let him advertise
a couple Of times in the dailies. More money
was the result, and he kept on. AT the end
of u year he was running q snug business. At
the end of two years he was getting rich.
He had added other medicines to his list, and
became q liberal and scientific advertiser.
He died n couple of years ago, leaving over
u million and a business that keeps on grow
ing, because his successors follow out the
plan of advertising he inaugurated SO sue

Smoke will certainly play an important
part in the warfare of the future. At Mil
ford Haven and at Longford harbor it was
artiicially created in large quantities in or
der to form screens, behind which attacking
forces might, unobserved. approach within
short range of forts and batteries. On each
occasion RATS laden with combustibles were
set on fire and fioated into positions from
which the wind carried the smoke in a more
or less dense cloud in the direction of the de
tense.
On the other hand, over since the introduc-
ton of modern ordnance and rapid rifle fire
it has been felt that the huge volumes of
smoke which would he belched forth during
a battle of the present day would probably
prevent the use of big guns to the best adj
vantage. Smoke, in fact, may, according to
circumstances be either a great assistance or
q grave impediment in warfare. The ideal
state of things is, of course, one in which the
production of smoke shall be controlled, so
that either a clear atmosphere or a clouded one
may, as need may arise, be created around a
battery or ship in action. This ideal has
now, to some extent, been attained. 1t is
found that smoke, as 1t issues from the muz-
zle of n heavy gun, can be almost simultane-
ously precipitated by means of a simple
electrical apparatus. The invention is based
upon the researches of Professor Tyndall,
Lord Rayleigb and Professor Lodge, in the
action of electricity upon floating dust and
vapor; and it should be of considerable mill
tary value.-St. James Gazette.

A FRESH BATCH or PATENTS.

Sixty-two patents, the most of them
covering land in Laramie county, but in
GLIDING filings in Laramie, Albany, Car.
bon and johnson counties. reached the
local land Office yesterday. The arrival Of
these patents at this time causes general
satisfaction, as it sets at rest any doubt
that may have rested on these titles, while
at the same time it is an indication that
Wyoming filings have been reached in
the process Of investigation, and the just
claims of the settlers will now be more
speedily settled. Final receipts have
heretofore counted for little or moth.
ing in the way of collateral
owing to the uncertainty that has hung
about the issuing of patents. 1t is now
quite evident that everybody who is hon
estly entitled to a patent Tor the land upon
which he has filed will receive it, while
Others will not and should not.
This will do much to stimulate a more
rapid settlement of Il country while it
will ut the same time place a better value
on all the public lands in the territory.
We hope to see the good work go on.

HOBBIES oE The MEplcos.
Arnica Thirty Years Ago-The Great
Observation-Disclosures

Arnica Thirty Years Ago-The Great
Observation-Disclosures"
Nearly every physician has a hobby
Medicine itself has hobbies. Sometimes
these relate to remedies; other times to causes
Of disease. Thirty years ago arnica was the
panacea for everything. A drop Oh a lump
of sugar taken internally would cure all the
diseases between and including influenza and
cholera morbus. A few drops on the hand
rubbed over any external injury would
almost supersede the necessity of surgery,
abolish rheumatism, exterminate cramps,
make the lame man leap like a hart or the
tongue of the dumb sing for joy. Arnica
had its run for nearly ten years. The indif-
ference of men, the enthusiasm of women
and the curiosity of children, with their in
capacity for resistance, created an oppor-
tunity for arnica that entities it to rank
high among the fallacious factors of a
science founded on conjecture and improved
by murder.
Following arnica came carbolic acid. 1t
was a great germicide. All disease existed in
germ form. Therefore, carbolic acid was the
remedy for all disease. If you inhaled a lit
tie of it you would cure original sin If you
rubbed the back sof your neck with it you
would be relieved of bunions. If you lubri-
Gated your shins with it baadache would dis
appear. If you sat in the same room with
it your mind and body would be rejuvenated.
A long time was required to reduce carbolic
acid to the respectable role of a modest disin-
fectant and to the humble position of an
alleviator of aching teeth. There have been
various other hobbies in the form of RENE
dies. Bromides and chlorides divided en-
pire, until it was found that women in vast
numbers were rushing to drunkenness, lunacy
and suicide. Cocaine has had the call until
lately, but happily it costs 50 much that it
cannot be generally used, and its paralyzing
possibilities are powerfully appreciated.
As marked as this craze for remedies is
the medical habit of finding a cause for every
disease. The savages regarded sickness as a
form of depravity, and used to exercise the
devils out of the patients. Modern therapeu-
tics may be said to be saddled with this devil
theory also. One devil was called indigestion;
another wasting. There are many more;
they often rage at the same time; but the
most frequent, fashionable and fantastic devil
which calls for the exercising power of doctors
is malaria Is a child a gluttonl 1t is suffer-
ing from malaria Docs a woman gorge her
self with food and let her muscles stagnate
for want of exercised 1t is malaria. Do
families, by disregarding all laws of health,
fall sick amid the mountains or by the sea or
in steam heated city housesi 1t is malaria.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATF0EM.

We cannot agree with the Sun that be.
cause the plank in the Democratic nation
al platform relating to the appointment
of territorial officers from among the resi-.
dents f the territory has not been en-
forced, President Cleveland's admins
tration must therefore necessarily be OPP
posed regardless of political lines.
The Democrats of this territory strongly
endorse President Cleveland's admins
tIation generally and at the recent meet
ing of the territorial central committee,
which by the way was one of the most
harmonious and satisfactory ever held,
the delegates to the st. Louis conven-
ton were pledged without qualification to
support Cleveland for denomination.
We realize here, as the people 90
all over the country, that be has made an
admirable executive, and with the added
experience of four years in national af-
fairs there will be very few things in the
whole complicated machinery OF gov
eminent which will escape his attention.
MIR. Cleveland's aim has been to give the
country a clean and honest administration,
and the people of Wyoming have more to
expect OF a man guided by these princi-
Piles and with his experience than they
could possibly expect of an untricd man,
no matter how good his intentions might
be.
1t is for these reasons andthe fact that
we realize the territories will receive a
Just amount of consideration when the
facts are properly placed before him, that
the Democrats OF Wyoming will cordially
and unanimously support President Clevc-
land for denomination. We can see
nothing inconsistent in this position. nor
can We see any reason why the Demo
cratic party of the territory should not be
crystallizcd into unity standing on such a
platform.

The power OF imagination is supposed to be
stronger in women than in men; but this
was not shown in a recent hospital expert
mcnt. DR.. Durand, wishing to test the prac-
teal effect Of mind diseases, gave 100 pa
tients a dose of sweetened water. Fifteen
minutes after, entering apparently in great
excitement, lie announced That he had by
mistake given a powerful emetic, and prep
a%rations must be made accordingly. Eighty
out of the 100 patients became thoroughly ill
and exhibited the usual result of an emetic;
twenty were unaffected. The curious part
of it is that, with very few exceptions, the
eighty ''emeticized' subjects were men, while
the strong minded few, who were not to be
caught with chafR, were women.-Chicago

great compliments in a recent lecture.
He said that sculpture and architecture

Richardson-who, with real genius, had
brought out an almost new kind of work
on old lines" On principle, Mr.. Herko-
mer regarded architecture as of the first
Importance, then sculpture, then paint
ing. The Americans pose naturally and
willingly, and without the anxiety shown
by English sitters. And finally the
speaker said that A nerica would eventu-
