Unexpected Meeting.

Not long after the close of the war, Mir. J. I. 'Irowbridge visited the field of Gettysburg. and held conversations with many persons residing in the neighbor- hood. One afternoon. on Cemetery Hill, he met soldier who was in the battle, and who, being at Harrisburg for few days. had taken advantage of an excur- sion train to revisit the scene of that ter rible experience.
 Getting into conversation we walked down tho hill together. As we were ap- proceeding a double house with high wooden steps, he pointed out the further one, and said:
 Saturday morning, after the fight, l got a piece of bread at that house. A man stood on the steps and gave each of us fellows piece. We were hungry as bears, and it was a godsend. should like to see that man and thank him." Just then the man himself appeared at the door. We went over, and 1 intro duced the soldier, who, with tears in his eyes, expressed his gratitude for that act of Christian charity.
 ''Ies," said the man, when reminded of the circumstance, i've did what we could. We baked bread here night and day to give to every hungry soldier who wanted it. We sent away our own chil- dren to make room for the wounded soldiers, and for days our house was a hospital. Youths Companion.

Curious Phenomenon.

What 1 am about to describe has been apuzzle to me for about one year and six months; and I think some reader of The Journal may be able to explain it. Something has developed in my eyesight. What it is do not know, but will do my best to describe it. This something can sec at will, and when I do not want to see it it will not come. 1 only see it in the light. It will take many changes, even changing its shape while am look ing at it. It seems to be composed of changing pearls strung together This line of shining pearls has been growing larger ever since 1 first noticed it-in each eye different line. One line will twist itself in all kinds of shapes while I am looking at it, and seems to be about four feet from me, in front. It has in- creased lately to Q great size.
 If look at the right line, then I do not see the left one, and looking at tho left one will force the other away. I am in perfect health and have first class eyesight Perhaps some doctor will say the phenomenon is caused by disease of the eyes. Will somebody explain the cause,-Rclisi Philosophical Journal.

The weavers are simply asking for what ought to be theirs in the light of the republican promises last fall. In 1884, just after the election of Cleveland to the presidency, wages were cut 10 per cent by the Fall River bosses, and in 1885 another cut of 10 per cent was made. Now the weavers simply ask that their wages be set back to the 1884 schedule. They were told, in common with everybody else in the land, during the campaign of last fall that the election of General Harrison would bring untold prosperity and fabulous benefit to the country. New industries were to spring up, old ones were to catch the breeze and go sailing along on the head winds of prosperity whole land was to bloom and blossom like the rose of Sharon with a grandeur of pros perity unprecedented in its his tory. With all this prosperity hang ing like a low of promise above the country, waiting for the verdict of the ballots to burst and shed allit splen- uOTS upon lue ldilu. tne Tali llheI weavers, just like their brother toilera , throughout the country, have been as tonished and disappointed thai it has not come. They have looked in vain during the days since Harrison's cleo tion for that wonderful revival that was to transform this land into an industrial Eden, and with the sickness of hope long deferred they have now determined to force from their employers some share in the benefits the bosses claimed would come from the triumph of pro- lection.
 The Fall River weavers are consistent. They are simply asking for their share of the prosperity that was to be the cer- tain result of republican success. The bosses cannot reasonably object, for they held up this prosperity in its most gilt, tering array, and they told their men in scare circulars and pay envelopes that the triumph of Cleveland meant the triumph of free trade and the death knell of American industry. If now the boot is on the other leg the mill owners and manufacturers have only themselves to blame. It is quite evident that the campaign of education didn't end with the election of Benjamin Harrison of Indiana.

THE WORK MUST GO ON.

The Massachusetts tariff reform league announces that it will continue work at the old stand, and sees in the popular November much to encourage it in it's work of spreading the light. The vote of the cities and manufacturing centers is proof to the league that the cause of popular education on this point has al ready made substantial headway, and that the wage earners are not to be stam- peded by wild alarms.
 The league announces that the message will be carried to the farmer who seems indifferent to the taxation the manufacturing monopolists may continue to draw their fat dividends and pile up trusts and syndicates to control Legislation in their interest. This is we'll The returns of the November election show that in the centers of manufactur- ing, where it might be expected that the free trade scare would work the most harm to the democracy, tariff reform was rightly understood and there was no stampede. It was in the farming dis tricts, where Quay got in his work and caught the democratic managers asleep, that the most progress was made in working the free trade scare. If the Massachusetts league and other similar bodies devoted to the cause of reducing our burden of taxation will supplement their work of last fall by carrying their mes sage of hope to the farmer, the cam paign of 1892 will be won before it is entered upon. Nothing can stop the demand for lower taxes, and the demo- cratic party must stand to it's guns in the great struggle that began when President Cleveland sent out his famous message of December, 1887.
 The good work of tariff reform must go on, and the democratic party must carry its eagles to victory.

Diplomatic TOmances.

These modern rOmanceS of American girls and foreign noblemen cannot match the alliance of forty years ago-the fa- nous marriage of the old Count de Bo- disco, the Russian minister, and Miss liar riet Williams, the Georgetown beauty. He was old and decrepit. It is said that he wore ''plumpers' in his cheeks and dressed his poor, broken old form so that he looked like a man of 40 after he saw the beautiful school girl at her fathers house in Georgetown. For she was a school girl-only 14-when he married her. He sent her to Europe to finish her education and when she came back she was the most beautiful woman in Amer ica. A magnificent, fair woman, with golden hair and brown eyes, was this young wife of the old Count de Bodisco. After leaving here her husband returned to Russia and she became the reigning belle of St. Petersburg.
 More pathetic than this story, for it was surely pathetic for girl of if to marry a man of 70, was the story of her sister, Miss Fannie Williams. At the time Count de Bodisco was minister he had with him as attaches two nephews of the same name, who in his last hours he acknowledged as his illegitimate sons. One of these nephews loved the sister of his incomparable aunt. The Count de Bodisco claimed that the Russian law forbade such an intermarriage, and the two were separated. She went to St. Petersburg with her beautiful sister, be- came engaged to a Russian nobleman, and on the eve of her Inarria re was fOrnC dead. with the ivory miniature of her first lover in her hand.

COLD BATHS FOR TYPHOID.

Cold water is a pretty good article of health, generally speaking-and pretty pleasant too when the thermometer is right-but it has not been generally pre- scribed for typhoid fever patients. Dr Simon Baruch, attending physician to the Manhattan General hospital, has found out, however, that cold baths are an excellent remedy in cases of typhoid fever. The doctor recently published a paper in the Medical Record on the treat ment of typhoid fever which is of great interest to physicians and people gener- 1 ally who are aware of the dangers and startling mortality that attend this dis ease.
 Dr Baruch shows that under the present e&pectant, antipyretic treatment which consists in nourishing the pa tient, ,:placing him in good hygieneic sur rounding5, combating complications and reducing the telnperature-the death rate is appall g. Accordn g to the re- port of the New York city board of health for 1S.5-1SS5, out of 7,7l2 cases of typhoid fever there we.e 3,1Si deaths, or 41.2S per cent. The deaths i'll tha l New York hospital in 1885 were 4.6G
 per cent. 1n Germany, under similar l treatment, out of LIZA cases repor ted upon there were 21.7 per cent of deaths. This side of the c ise, however, does not n ed statistical fortifcation. l he mortality in typhoid fever cases is too well known. Dr Baruch advocates the abandonment of the present method of treatment and
 the substitution of the cold bath treat
 ment as successfully practiced in the German military hospitals. Without burdening the reader with the methods of the cold water system, which are the province of the physicians, it is worth while to note the valuable results attain ed. Out of 19,O57 cases treated with ''an kinds of cold baths' there was a
 mortality of 70 per cent. Out of 2,4S1 cases in which the treatment was ''in- termediate with water" the mortality was 1.22 per cent. Out of 2,19S cases treated with "strict cold baths" the mor- | tality was F per cent, and in the same cases 2,15O patients who were treated | before the disease had progressed five days all recovered.
 Dr Baruch has made out strong case for his new method of treatment, and the facts he insta1 ces certainly deserve the careful consideration of physicians. The difficulty with the cold bath treat ment is in i1S incOnvenie,ue tba- rap,,o nance of patients and the indi sposition of physicians to pursue methods involving g an abandonment of settled practice. But if cold baths will cure typhoid fever cold baths should be insisted upon. We are living in an age of progress, and medical principles must keep pace with approved results of experimental treat ment. Anything that will check the dreadful mortality of typhoid fever should be accepted in the practice ot f medicine.

HE DEMOCRAT. TUESDAY MARCH F. 1sss
VIII Shoot Oyer Ten Miles.

|. A St. Louis shoemaker named Custer has applied for patent on remarkable gun. The inventor will not display tue affair itself. as he believes it to be ''the coming gun" but from the drawings and obscure description offered by the owner a vague idea can be gleaned.
 The gun is d smooth bore. very similar to Martini-Henry rifle, and hammer less. On the left hand side of the breech block is a magazine containing cartridges so arranged that on firing the recoil of the charge opens the breech, at which q spring presses a fresh cartridge into place.
 But the peculiarity lies in tho cartridge and the rear end of it. A very light charge sutfices to start it.
 After it has gohe but few rods the extreme rear one of a series Of secondary charges explodes, giving the missile re- newed impetus. These explosions are continued until the series is exhausted or the projectile has reached its object.
 -ihe advantages claimed for this odd weapon are that much lighter gun can be used and that greater execution can be wrought. besides getting longer range, do tlS SidiEiS St StIl ot III eo UGH miles. and even further, according to the number of propelling charges, always providing that nothing gets in the way.
 trequires 2i inch cartridge for a ten mile trip. and one-quarter inch addi- tional for each subsequent mile. One thing that has always been a source of annoyance to gunners is surmounted by this, the trajectory.
 The projectile, i'll place of making a bee line, has heretofore described an arc, necessitating raised sights for long distance shooting, as the continuous force of gravity would drag the bullet downward below direct line to the tar get.
 The inventor claims that his system of relays, acting as they do as instantaneous forces, overcome the continuous and cause the missile to move directly to the mark.-St. Louis Globc-Democrat.

THE FALL RIVER STRIKE.

The wage earners of America are fast learning that all that glitters is not gold, and every day brings renewed proof that there was good deal of glitter about the promises of the republicans last fall. Close on the heels of the suspension of the Reading iron works, throwing sev- eral thousand men out of work, and close on the announcement of failures, lockouts and strikes comes the news that six thousand weavers in and about Fall River have struck for an increase of wages.

Britannia's proud boast that she rules

Britannia's proud boast that she rules the wave seems rather empty just now in the light of the ministry's explanation that there is practically no British navy and that they have been compe He'd for this reason to ask the country to vote them one hundred millions or so in order to put them on their feet again. One of the accusations against the ministers was that the existing English fleet was of no use because the ships had no guns. The ministers now explain that the fail ure to supply the guns was owing to the deficiency of the lnings." The govern ment experts no doubt could tell where the deficiency" occurred. ard the leak might be traced to the ''linings' of pockets that are not found in guns.

 vince the wage earners of some things

AS there are not enough offices to go around there is likely to be music from the great army of the left.
