Dizziness and Consent.

The proprietors of the Brooks loco
motive-works of Dunkirk, N. Y, one of
the largest establishments of the kind in
the country, have dismissed some three
hundred mechanics ION account of
dullness. 1t was Mr. Blaine who in
formed the journeymen mechanics of
this country that their wages or their
employment could be reduced only by
their own consent. Upon this Blaine
theory the dizziness on account of
which the Dunkirk mechanics were
dismissed must have been caused by
their consent! Or, peradventure, in
the lexicon of protectionism, "dull-
ness" and consent" are words of the
same meaning. But more difficult case
to explain is that Of the jack-spinners
of Cohoes, N. Y, whose wages were
recently reduced ten per cent. with

NOTE THE DIFFERENCE.
Civil-Service Reform as Practiced by Re-
former Ben Harrison.

ASS'A
When President Cleveland had been
less than month in Office, the ques-
ticn of appointing General Pearson's
successor in the New Y ork postmaster
ship was very pressing, and it was soon
announced that Postmaster Pearson had
been reappointed to that important
Federal Office. Commenting on this
announcement in its issue of April /,
1885, the New York Tribune said
The reappontment Of Postmaster Pearson
gives general satisfaction to those citizens who
care for efficiency in that branch OF the public
service here. 1t satisfies the public. because ii
10 a good thing in itself; because Mr.. Pearson
is one Of many Republican officials who have
proved so cons ptcuously tit that their removal,
on whatever ground, and irrespective OF the
personal merit of any who may be selected in
the stead, would be positive detrmentto the
public service. Such an appointment is, OF
course to be commended most heartily as a
good Thing in itself In itself this ap-
pointment Is admirable Mr.. PearsoGs
unquestioned and superior fitness renders his
retention in office the clear duty OF Pres dent
who means to improve and not to degrade the
public service.
President Cleveland was a Demo
crat, and Mr.. Pearson never made any
disguise of the fact that he was Re-
publican. The Tribune is right, how
over, in saying that his superior fit
ness" had never been questioned, aud
Tor that reason, caring mainly for the
efficiency of the service, Mr.. Cleve-
land retained him in the Office which
he had filled to the satisfaction OF
Democrats and Republicans alike. Be-
fore Mr.. Harrison had been a month
in Office, Postmaster Pearson's term
expired, aud the question OF his sue
cessor again became a pressing one.
Nobody pretends that after four years
of additional experience Postmaster
Pearson's superior fitness" had be-
come less unquestioned than in 1885,
but the Tribune said not word in re-
gard to his superior fitness, or his
efficiency, or the general satisfaction
he had given to those citizens who care
for efficiency in that branch of the pub
lie service; and President Harrison,
ignoring all the reasons for the
appointment that had proved strong
enough to convince President Cleve-
land, has just given the postmaster
ship to Mr., Cornelius Van Colt, mar
who has had no experience whatever
in the mail service, who has no record
of efficiency and superior fitness, and
who had no advantage over General
Pearson in the matter OF Republican
ism, except that he is more accept
able to the machine and the spoils-
men. No single incident has more
clearly brought out the difference be-
tween the two administrations OF
President Cleveland and President
Harrison. Those who note it care
fully and grasp its significance will
understand why President Cleveland

No Chemicals.

In THESE DAYS when food adulteration Is
so common, it is comfort to find an article
for the table that is thoroughly reliable.
Walter Baker & Co.'s breakfast cocoa is
eminent III this limited class. No chemicals
are used IN it's manufacture and it is abso-
lutcly pure. 1t forms moreover delicious
and healthful drink, as refreshing, and moro
nutritious, than tea or coffee, and free from
the injurious effects that those beverages
sometimes produce. And 1t is very cheap
withal. The house of Walter Baker & Co.
has maintained for more than 100 years a
great and honored repute by the excellence
and purity of it's manufactures.

HINTS FOR HORSEMEN.

FEED your horse three times daily, but
never overfeed.
WATER before feeding, but not while the
horse is hot from work
Use the whip very little, and never when
the animal SHES or stumbles.
NEVER leave horse standing unhitched.
It is tie way to make them runaways.
Do NOT storm and fret. Be quiet and
kind, and the horse will be so, too, in most
cases.
GIVE the horse large stall and a good
bed at night. 1t is important that he lie
down to rest.
Do NOT expect your horse to be equally
good at every thing. The horse, like the
man, must be adapted to his work.
NEAR the close of journey let the horse
walk. If covered with sweat rub off with a
rag, to prevent too sudden cooling.
KEEP horses bedding dry and clean
underneath as we'll as on top. Standing in
hot fermenting manure causes thrush.
COLLAR gals and bruises are benefited by
washing with salt water. Wash shoulders
daily when using the horse. Brine is good
also for stiff joints.
LET your horse stand loose, if possible
without being tied up in the manger. Pair
and WEAKNESS from confined position in
duce bad habits.
NEVER allow any one to tickle or tease
your horse in the stable. The animal only
feels the torment and does not understand
the Joke. Never beat the horse when in the
stable, as nothing so soon makes him per
manently vicious.
USE the currycomb lightly. When use;
roughly it is source of great pain; brush
ing and rubbing are the proper means to Sc
cure glossy coat. Let the heels be brushed
out every night. Dirt, if allowed to cake
in, causes sore heels.
WHEN horse comes in from journey
the first thing is to walk him around unit
he is cool. The next thing is to rub hin
dry. This removes dust, dirt and sweat
and allows time to recover and the appetite
to return. Also have his legs well ruhi'ef
by the hand; ncthing SO soon removes !,

CURING NEURALGIA.
The Singing of "A Wasp is Said to BE an
Eilicacious Remedy.

Eficacious Remedy.
Having read with much interest the
tenn concerning DR.. Terc and his new
cure for rheumatism, the writer wishes
to offer the following account of a
somewhat remarkable veriiication OF
the theory in question. 1t occurred in
New Jersey, near Paterson, about
twenty years ago, and the writer is
able to vouch for the truth of every
detail:
An Irish girl, employed as cook in u
well-known family there, had been
troubled with neuralgia for some time,
and at last 1t grew so severe that she
became almost frantic with pain, actu-
ally knocking her head against the wall
in the hope of inducing insensibility.
Then her employer, who had
heard that the sting of u
wasp or bee had been used by some
Southern physician with the best re-
suits in similar cases, asked the poor
girl if she felt willing to have such an
experiment tried on her face. She
consented at once, probably with a
courage born of despair, and a wasp,
torpid from the winters cold, was pro-
cured from rafter in the attic
After being we'll warmed by the
kitchen fire the wasp was easily pro-
voked to sting the sufferer, and was
applied just where the pain was most
intolerable. Within few moments
there was a sensible diminution of
pain, and when half an hour had passed
the patient fell asleep and did not wake
for several hours.
But the most important fact of all is
that there was never any recurrence
of neuralgia in the case, though the
woman remained for many months
thereafter in the service of the same
employer. and had been subject to the
disease for years. Cor. N. Y. Sun.

YALE'S ABSURDlTY.
The Most Ridiculous Educational Propo
siti0n Eyer Made.

The Most Ridiculous Educational PrOpO.
sition Ever Made.
Nothing is quite so ridiculous as the
proposition to endow a chair of protec-
ton at Yale college, consider it from
any standpoint whatever. Political
economy, if taught at all should be
taught with some regard for scientific
truth, as is shown when geology or
biology is explained to the students.
There can not be two theories of any
science, directly antagonistic and
equally true. Protection" is not a
science, at best it is a makeshift, a
piece of empiricisu in thought and
charlatanism in application. To en-
dow chair to teach Protection is
simply to set up the fsavorite device Of
the Middle Ages, in contrast with the
latest conclusions of scientific investi-
cation.
If we are to have chair of PRO
tection," let us have also chair OF
Astrology to counterfeit the evil effect
of scientific astronomy; chair of Al
chemy as an antidote for the evil in
huence of the teaching of modern
chemistry; then let Yale send for Rev.
Jasper, of Richmond, Va, to deliver a
series of lectures in the support OF
his belief that the 'earth do move"

sides of the question should be pre-
sented So we suppose it would have
