CANCERS AND TUMORS.
The Difference Between the Two Ailments
Explained In Plain Language.

Explained III Blatn
Few ailments are more dreaded than
cancers, both because of their fatality
and on account of their slow and pain
full disorganizing progress. They are
more frequent with women than with
men, and there are probably few wo-
men who do not suffer more or less
from fear of them.
But the disease is really somewhat
rare. Few cases come within the
knowledge of any one person. 1t is
true of nearly every disease that moth
ing is more potent than fear in bring
ing it on. Fear produces depression,
and physical depression is an open
door to prowling morbid elements.
Cancer is a malignant tumor; but
every malignant tumor is not cancer
All bodily growth is cell-growth-
growth by multiplication. Tumors
are thus formed. They are known as
'new growths."
There is no distinctive difference be-
tween the cells of cancers and those Of
other tumors; but cancer-cells are
crowded peculiarly into vacant spaces
in the substance of the part, and this
arrangement is characteristic. No
tumor should be pronounced cancer
until an expert has seen this arrange
ment with his microscope. The trou-
BILE with these cells is their low vital
ity, their lack of recuperative power.
Almost every organ in the body is
more or less liable to be invaded, but
especially those covered with mucous
membrane. Some cancers have their
seat in the skin, particularly on the
dividing line between the skin and the
mucous membrane, as on the lips, eye
lids, etc. These are less likely to re-
cur, when removed, and complete re-
covery may take place.
A cancer is of purely local origin.
The health for time may otherwise
be good, but the lymph-vessels gener-
ally transport the cancer-cells to neigh
boring glands, thus originating second
airy cancers. Sometimes the blood
vessels transport them. The most
common period of development is after
tns age of forty. The tendency to
cancer is inherited. 1t may, however,
overleap generation. When this ten
dency exists, a blow or other injury
may develop the disease.
The medical profession, as general
thing, do not have much confidence in
the success of surgical operations ex-
cept in skin cancers, or, in the case, of
others at very early stage. Opera
tions that do not cure may prolong life
year or two, or they may hasten the
fatal result.
To prolong life the chief attention
should be given to keeping up the gen.
eral health. Ionic medicines are help
full. The food should be nutritious and
easily digested. The mind should be
kept free from care and anxiety. All
hygienic surroundings should be good.

THE EIFFEL TOWER.

are admirable. The admission to the
Exposition grounds is only twenty
cents for all the departments, and
once in it is unnecessary to leave
them until the hour for closing at night
There are ample resources for feeding the
multitudes within the grounds at moderate
prices the restaurants being under official
control. Most of the railroads give excur-
sion rates.
In spite of the extraordinary increase in
population, Paris does not present the
aspect of being crowded, and despite the
inevitable annoyances inseparable from the
period it is certain that the visitors who re-
gard the rights and sensibilities of others
will gently find their own rights and sensi-
bilities respected

OIL UPON WATER.
A Simple Explanation of Its Action I'm
0uieting Rough Waves.


Quieting Rough Waves.
The pouring of oil upon rough water
to secure the safe passage of vessels
was practiced by the ancients, as Plu-
tarch and Pliny refer it, but it is only
within the last six years that our sea-
going people have given it much
serious attention. Benjamin Franklin
made a study of the subject, and he
has left on record the result of his ex-
periments. This is how he explains
the action of tbs oil:
The molecules of water move With
freedom, and the friction of air in
motion produces waves or undulations
These increase in size, according to
the depth of water and other condi-
tions. They are often the precursors
of storms, and sometimes reach a height
of forty feet. Yet boat or ship can
ride them in safety. IT, however,
sudden gale comes up, the swell be-
comes raging sea.
The friction of the wind, rapidly
moving upon the exposed slope of the
swell, produces little Irregularities ON
lllt NdNClclS dTc tilSh
driven up the rear slope of the swell to
its summit, while the forward slope
has more and more protection from
the wind, and becomes sleeper and
sleeper. AS the wind continues to
blow, the crest of the storm wave con-
stantly sharpens, until it is finally
thrown over with irresistible force. A
ship can not rise up its abrupt front,
and the water falls on the deck,
sweeps every thing before it, and often
engulfs the vessel itself.
Now the oil changes the storm wave
into the heavy swell. 1t floats on the
surface, spreads rapidly and forms a
film like an extremely thin rubber
blanket over the water. The friction
OF the wind can not tear the film and
send those wavelets up the slope of the
swell, and the ship is enabled to ride
ii in safety.
So it is seen that the effect is purely
mechanical change in the form of the
wave; there is no apparent chemical
change. Philadelphia Times.

CHAMBERLAIN, D. T., May 1.-THE bluffs

with the white prairie schooners and tents
of hardy farmers from Iowa and other
States who have here cast their
tents in anticipation of the speedy
opening of the Sioux reservation, when
they will locate claims in the rich

lands in the reservation, when finally
opened for settlement, will resemble the

Death of a Noted Criminal.
Cincinnati Enqu uirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
 The history of Isaac Newsome, 6 fa- nous criminal who died recently in this city, reads a chapter from TO- nance. Newsome was born in Eng land, received 6 fair education, pos sessed 6 pleasing address and became a leader of daring crooks who operated in England and on the continent. Newsome was 6 genius at planning robberies, and he was welcomed as . guest in many wealthy houses which he thus had an opportunity to study and plunder. His victims were found throughout all Europe, and his con- federstes were nervy, audacious and we'll disciplined.
 Having reaped a golden harvest in the old world, Newsome came to the United States, settled in Cincinnati, and repeated his tactics. He used to frequent John Brenazo's saloon, and raked in rich spells until he got load of buckshot in the back while robbing 6 store on Fifth street. He never wholly recovered from the wound then inflicted. He was betrayed by Brenazo through jealousy, and was sent to the penitentiary in 1854 Ra- ther than work he chopped of his own fingers with an ax. Released in 1860, he went to Europe, and there, 1t is said, was one of & gang who disposed of the jewels and precious metals, with assistance from Mother MAndel- baum when required. Newsome wan dered back recently to Cincinnati, 8 wreck of his former handsome self, and soon died in penury, after having squandered princely fortunes.
 On opening the body four buckshot, flattened out and matted together, were found encysted in the lumbar region. When they had entered the body they had struck against the bony tissues of the spinal column, and had, by pressure on the nerves, produced partial paralysis. Their presence caused also constantly recurring ab- scesses. These had either bnrst or re- lief had been given by lancing through the back, opening them. The post mortem was performed in the presence Of several students of the Ohio Mcdi- cal College, aud the body was then sent to one of the surgical institutions.

BARNUM's JOKE.
San Francisco wasp.

Paul Smith and Barnum are bosom friends. They spend many pleasant hours together. But the ever vicious snowman must have his practical jokes, and even his friend Paul was made one of his victims recently.
 These two celebrities met on the grand piazza of a New York hotel after breakfast and passing the usual morning greetings Paul Smith said !:
 Well, friend B&rnum, how do you find things here this year7"
 "I am delighted as usual" " replied the cheerful snowman, "and 1 par ticularly admire your enterprise in erecting 30 many new cottages, and in introducing running water and steam heating into your big hotel"
 "Glad to hear you like it, " said Paul. "Praise from 6 man of your years and experience give me . new heart and courage. But I will thank you still more heartily if you will frankly tell me whenever you discover any thing about my hotel that is not clean up to the highest mark. I am as proud of providing the very best of every thing as you are in your big show"
 "That's right" responded Barnum, "a true friend will always tell us our faults. And this reminds me that there is one thing that I noticed on your table which I thought I ought to mention to you. You know that the most of our food and drinks are adulterated. Yours have generally found fresh and pure, but the ground black pepper on your table is largely mixed with peas."
 "You don't say SO 1" exclaimed the old poineer. "Why, I buy all my groceries from =, the whole sale dealers in New York, and they stand high for goods of pure quality" ]"
 "Can't help it." said Barnum; "you investigate it, and I'll give you one hundred dollars if you don't find all your so-called pepper is st least one- half pees."
 T will write my grccers to-day and give them fits. Half peas,' indeed 1 That reminds me that thirty-three years ago l ran . boat from New York to St. Johns, Canada. often brought cargoes of peas from St. Johns and delivered them to the large coffee dealers in New York. But these gro- cers shall not swindle me-"
 Paul 6mth's son immediately wrote a letter from his fathers dictation, blowing his grocers sky high tor sell- ing him adulterated pepper. He told them that P. T. Barnum declared it was st least half peas, and threatened them with instant withdrawal of his patronage if they did not immediately send him box of pure ground pepper without . single pea in 1t.
 Three days afterward Paul received an answer from his grooers, in which they humbly asked his pardon. They oon1bssed that thsre were psas in thsir
