THE FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The Constellation of Nobodies Appointed
by the Grandson of His Grandfather.
All the charlatanism of the Repub-
lican party expressed itself in Gar
fields choice of Robert T. Lincoln for
Secretary of War. The persistence of
that idea was most notably proved by
the retention of Lincoln in a subse-
quent Cabinet, whence all but he had
fled. 1t was in keeping with this boz
gus Republican spirit that Frederick
Grant, partner of Ferdinand Ward,
was nominated for Secretary of State
in New York in 1887. Harrison's
haste to send Grant to Austria-Hun-
gary exhibited his faith in Republican
humbuggery.
The mission to the court of St.
James is now given to Robert T. Lin
coin, a gentleman who. left to his own
resources, would remain in an obscure
station through life Mr. Lincoln
goes to fill a place such as was in
trusted to the Adamses, Franklins
and Jeffersons when the Republic was
feeble. The idea must be that, in its
might. this Nation needs lower type
of ability.
Why Mr.. Harrison should pass OUT
side of politics to resurrect the son-of-
his-father idea as a joss for fools
worship can also be explained with
the argumentuns ad honainena. Mr..
Harrison is himself the beneficiary of
the son-of-his-father' propaganda.
Democratic Republicans should not be
thankful for such step toward mon
archy and aristocracy.
The appointments of Editor Rice. of
the North American Review, to Rus
STA, and Patrick Egan to Chill are in
the nature of wages due. Both these
gentlemen damaged their own reputa-
ton for fairness and intelligence in
upholding the war tariff.
The mission of Mr.. Halstead to
Germany was not to be idly criticised.
Mr.. Halstead, once out of Ohio, be-
comes a statesman. Doubtless he
would have reflected honor on his
country-at least the Herald has no
other thought. Merit and service to
his party award him conspicuous
place in our blue book. If he could
not have shone alone when set in such
constellation of nobodies as now for
the first time adorns our diplomatic
heavens, he would have disappointed
even those readers whom he has al
ready disheartened by his overweening
spirit of editorial partisanship.- Chi

ABOUT PARALYSIS.
In the Treatment of All It's Varieties Rest
Is Absolutely Essential.

In the Treatment of All It's Varieties Rest
Is Absolutely Essential.
A correspondent asks us about
paresis-its symptoms, treatment and
durability. and whether it might come
to young man of twenty-one who had
been very greatly taxed with study.
business and anxieties?
Paresis is an incomplete form of pa
ralysis. 1t may be quite slight, or may
rise in degree almost up to complete
ness. The cause. symptoms and treat
ment of both diseases are essentially
the same, and even paralysis may be
durable. We shall, therefore, speak
of paralysis in general.
This affection may have its existing
cause in the brain, in the spinal cord,
or in the nerves themselves. away
from both the nervous centers, in
which case it is called peripherai pa
ralysis.
Peripheral paralysis may result from
destructive injury to a nerve, or a
pressure upon it, Or from some disease
affecting it. The connection in these
cases is cut off between the muscles
and their cerebral, or spinal, center.
Spinal paralysis may be caused by
an injury of the spinal cord. In this
case, the paralysis is below the injury.
There may also be degenerative dis
ease of more or less of the cord. which
interferes with the free flow of the
nervous currents to the muscles from
the centerS of yOlution in tho brain
The strange gesticulations of ''loco-
motor ataxia'' are due to this cause.
Among the causes of cerebral paraly-
sis are distractions to arterial circuia-
ton in the brain by emboli (bits OF
coagulum) carried into the smaller
blood-vessels, most often from the
heart; blood clots from minute hemor-
rhages; pressure from over-distended
cerebral arteries, and from tumors.

The First and Second Harrison and the
Half-Starved Buzzards.
1t seems popularity of Presidents
of the house of Harrison that they at
tract to the place where the spoils car
cass is more of the buzzards called
otfice-seekers than do Presidents OF
any other family. During fifty years
from the organization of the republic
in 1889 the capital never witnessed
any thing like the countless hordes of
the hungry and the thirsty tn at
swarmed there upon the accession of
Harrison the First. Their numbers,
their opportunities by day and by
night, their incessant, ravenOus, hid
eous clamor for the loot and booty of
public places and employments. drove
the poor old man who held the APP
pointing power to delirium and death
in thirty days. Says a historian of
his brief reign: sometimes in his
delirium he would say: My dear
madam, did not direct that your hus-
band should be turned out. did not
know it. / tried to prevent it On
another occasion he cried out in broken
sentences: 1T is wrOng!-I won't con-
sent!-itis unjust! These applications
will they never, never cease? In
deed, it is an accepted fact of history
that the resistless assault of the army
of office-beggers was the cause of the
death of the first Harrison exactly one
month after his Inauguration.
The horde of buzzards by which Har-
rison the Second is now environed ex-
ceeds in number, as well as in raven
BUSINESS, those that killed his ancestor.
And it is the openly expressed opin-
ion of the Northern Senator from Illi-
nois that they will drive this Harrison
also to his death. ualess he shall pro-
coed at once to farm out the appointing
power to the Senators-''which ought
to be ours by right!' says that Senator.
Mr.. Farwell overlooks the fact that
Harrison the Second is much younger
man than was Harrison the First, and
the further fact that, being a graduate
az the political school of Indiana, he
is tough, sir! very tough!' There is
not so much danger, therefore, that
the spoils- beggars will kill him; but
the likeness in other respects between
the conditions following the installa
ton of the two Harrisons suggests
some occult and mysterious relation of
the house of Harrison to the Unsuitable
lust of the Presidential loot and booty.

GOOD HORSE STABLES.

How They Should be Constructed. Ar
ranged and Ventilated.
To have healthy and hearty horses,
due care must be taken to provide
them with suitable stables. These
should be warm. dry and weh-yentilat-
ed. If the roof is of straw, let it be
matched so that it does not leak. No
farmer can afford to have water Leak
ing down upon his horses. Have first
a roof that does not leak. next see that
the sides of the stable are free from
cracks, so that there will be no draft
upon the horses. Have the ventilators
so that they are under your control.
After you have a good roof and tight
sides, properly ventilated and lighted,
it is proper to consider the floor
of the stable. This will keep
the feet of the horse in good con-
dition, and needs only to be kept
level by filling in the holes made by
the stamping of the feet of the horses.
If you have an earth floor be sure to
keep it free from a ridge over which
the horse must hang when it lies down.
The next best floor is made of blocks
of wood, such as are used in paving
city streets. If the stable is not put
on the ground level, of course a floor
will need to be of plank. OF whatever
the stable floor is made, have a drain.
This win facilitate keeping the horses
clean, and the stable clean and
healthy. Have the stalls wide enough
to allow the horses to lie down COM
fortably. 1t is well to have the parti-
tions high enough to prevent the
horses reaching each other. Be sure
to have no projections in the stable
upon which horses can hurt themselves
in lying down or raising their heads.
This will necessitate having the CELL
ing high enough to clear their
heads when they jerk up suddenly.
Have the feed-box and rack just high
enough to allow the head to be in q
natural position while eating. Have
both these so arranged that there will
be no waste OF grain or hay. To save
time in feeding have grain bin and hay
handy to stable. When the stable is
made comfortable. convenient and
healthy, see that the surroundings are
the same. Don't have great pile of
manure just in front of the door. Have
a small drain to carry the water from
the stable, SO that it may be ap-
preached handily, and at the same time
more healthful, because free from stag
nant water. Spring is the best time
of the year to put the stable in good
shape.-Agricultural Implement and
Hardware.

THE GERMAN MISSION.
Halstead's Nomination Rejected by tn
Broad Hand of Boodle."

Halstead's Nomination Rejected by tho
abroad Hand of Doodle"
When Mr.. Murat Halstead. of Gin
cinnati, said some years ago that ''the
broad and greasy hand of DOODLE was
on the five Republican Senators who
recently voted to reject his nomination
as Minister to Germany, he expressed
a patent truth in inelegant language.
The broad and greasy hand of Doodle
is on them, and not on them alone, but
on the entire Republican Senate and
the whole Republican party.
Mr.. Halstead is not q consistent man.
The fact that he stated this great truth
about the Senators of his own party
shows that he has lucid intervals in
which he values truth more than con-
sistency. 1t is the Halstead of these
lucid intervals for whom the Republic
has sincere regard. In one of them
he told the truth about James G..
Blaine in Cincinnati English not even
surpassed in force by the above sample
of what Cincinnati English is at its
best and worst. He no more scrupled
then to describe Blaine as freebooter
and huckster of public trusts than he
did to tell the truth about the Repub-
lican Senate.
That he is now willing to take Office
under Blaine is as much a part of his
personal weakness as the truth he was
inconsistent enough to tell was a part
of his strength.
It is true that only in paroxysmal
moments is he inconsistent enough to
tell such truth, but it must be remem-
bered that his nature is paroxysmal in
nearly every thing.
Where there is no question of public
policy at stake, we do not believe in
political revenges, and We think it pc.
culiarly unfortunate that Mr.. Hal
stead should have been made the vic.
tim of the truth he told. He has not
had such spasms too often to have them
fixed on him as habit. He needed
encouragement rather than rebuke.
His language was that of Cincinnati,
but it was truthful. It was the broad
and greasy hand of Doodle that filled
the Senate with Republican money
sacks; that bought New York and In
diana; that put Harrison in the Presi-
dency, Blaine. Window. Proctor and
Wanamaker in the Cabinet, and that is
now controlling the Government of the
United States against the majority Of
the people.
Since Mr.. Halstead put away the
Bloody Shirt we have forgiven him.
Now we thank him. He can not have
such paroxysms too often.-St. Louis
Republic,

Three Famous Women More Noted for In

Isn't it bit odd that the women
who more than any others have con-
troled the fashions within the past
twenty-five years have not been beau

whom it may be said that they gave
the cue to La Mode. and these are the

de Metternich had an ugliness that,
like a Japanese teapot of any value,
was SO ugly it was unique-the ugli-
ness that has more of a cachet than
mere beauty, for merely beautiful
women can be found every day, while
absolutely ugly ones, blessed with
wonderful wit and a peculiar charm of
manner, are noted when found. Sara
Bernhard was never beautiful wom-
an; at the same time, even about her
personal appearance, there was some
thing fascinating, and when she is

black very chic; before her time it had
been dedicated to the bourgeoise; the
second made frills of lace, loose-ftting
gloves, picturesque hats and all styles
specially suited to slender women the
vogue, while the last gave to the high
military collar. the dainty little bon
net, and simple arrangement OF the
hair the seal of her approval. Each

to make fashionable exactly the be-
