THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.

The natural disposition is to laugh at
the idea that there is anything in the
experiments Of BRowN-SEQUARD in
the way of infusing new vitality into
the system by means of his little syr-
inge. 1t has been mentioned that his
inspiring mixture is preparation from
the tissues of young animals which he
injects under the cuticle of old persons,
which is said to have had a wonderful
rejuYenating effect when the eminent
and aged doctor tried it upon himself.
1t is now reported that another French
scientist experimental with three pau
pers ranging in age from ffty-four to
sixty-eight, who were ignorant of the
object sought. His statement is that
these tests show remarkable result,
the men feeling as if they had renewed
their youth and resumed the vigor of
life. The apparent absurdity of the
claim may not show that one of the
most eminent and learned specialists
of the world is a victim of delusion.
There are several almost as remarkable
things that were met with incredulity,
but it is as we'll to wait for further
demonstration before discarding other
means of prolonging life.

NICARAGUA CANAL.

Work is evidently progressing on the
Nicaragua canal, though not with full
force if less than a thousand men are
employed. The difficulty with Costa
RIGA does not appear serious, and will
be amicably adjusted. it is asserted.
There is little apprehension that the
efforts to prosecute the work on the
Panama canal will be successful, al
though some sort of government coun-
tenance seems to be claimed in France.
1t is quite certain that both of the canals
will not be completed. as one will be
ample for all the traffic, and it would be
waste of capital to operate two. If
the Panama one were completed it would
have some geographical and CONNER
cial advantage, but it would be under
foreign control, and the political inter-
ests of this country are strongly with
Nicaragua.

more every day. One
would think that after an intimate
knowledge of some of the incidents in

a number of other high English poten-

the part of pOtentateS. and now her
lofty DANES are indignant with the shah
for having as his attendant a young
girl dressed in boys clothing.
The shah doesn't force this pretty
creature upon his English entertainers,
but treats her in company as a king
thing seems totally unconscious of the
stony stare of the British matron, of
having been educated in her Circassian
home to think that the attendant of
shah was about the highest place an
humble born young girl could attain.
She hath most modest and unaSSum-
ing air and is charmingly pretty, with
short dark curlS, great gaZelle eyes and
a babyish face-the whole girl looking
very much, one imagines, like Marie
Jansen in the ''Oolah.''
When one considers the shah's pen
chant for wives he must be given credit
for not bringing several hundred in
stead of one into the heart of English
civilization, and the British matron has
Allah to thank that she was not deluged
with whole haram of big-eyed, allur-

The shah, it is said, is going to give
the Princess Louise something superb
on her wedding day, something that will
probably outshine all her other presents
in beauty and costliness.
The funniest freak of this altogether
queer foreigner is desire for volume
of BrOwning's poems, expressed to the
author himself. Did the shah do it from
politeness or was there method in his
madness? Did he really know about
those poems aud want them to give to
the wives he wanted to kill, with the I'M
Outstanding that the present meant
calculation or death? If this was his
design, the unfortunate victims are more
to be pitied than Blue Boards wives,
who died by tickling. Browning himself
even saw the joke of the request. and is
getting up gorgeous copy of his verses
bound in red and gold for presentment
to his shahship.

SUNDAY CHATTER.

The camp meeting season is still in
moderate activity, but it has not come
up to the old standards in this goodly

summer attractions have stolen much

captured an element, and the spiritual
enthusiasm that originally character
lied these gatherings has small and in
frequent evidence. A clerical clown

foot race between the preachers and

to heaven her eyes,
And moved her lips in prayer as her fingers
clasped the prize.

To unelasp poor woman letters and free her

While around dainty garment she seved

And at her feet her baby, dimpled, happy,

crossed their patent feathers and played
with the jeweled seals of their watch
chains. and talked stocks and railroads
and horse races and, incidentally, the
affairs of the great party of the people,
affairs supposed to be in their hands for
direction. The one furthest from
the door was tall and why and sandy
mustached and nervous and fidgetY;
he is worth $15.0O0.0O0. He is coal
king and railroad magnate and
horse-racer and stock plunger. He is
a Democratic leader-frOm the great
Republican state of Pennsylvania. The
little man next to him, with the bushy
chestnut hair and closely trimmed red
dish beard and sharp aquiline nose and
restless brown eyes, is also Democratic
leader-from the great Republican state
of Ohio, and more latterIy from Wall
street. He is worth a million and
half, and is railroad magnate,
and stock plunger and cor
pOration lawyer. The third, nearest
the door, was sharp-nosed and bright
eyed, like the other two, but, unlike
them, had a smooth face. He was
little heavier in weight than they, and,
like them, is railroad magnate, stock
buyer and coal and corporation pro-
mOter. But he isn't worth their mill
ions yet awhile. These three great
leaders in the peoples fight against
plutocracy were none others than those
famous chieftains William L. Scott,

their first meeting 100000, 10000 600
kisses. A little computation with his
pencil would show that, however pro-
longed the interview of the lovers, the
task assigned would be beyond labial or
physical capacity. II ADAM had kept
on repeating the initial kiss without
rest for repairs until this time, he could
not have reached the Florida figures, at
the best time on record. Some exagger-
alton can be overlooked in amatory
literature, but it is always we'll to have
in view the sound of the statements in
an open and unSympathetic court. ANY

Mr.. LAMBoRN was camping in Mime

the dragon fly was rampant devourer
of mosquitoes, flies, and other insects.
His idea now is to artifcially breed the
dragon fly, and perhaps spiders also, as
another enemy of insects. He noticed
dragon fly take in thirty-six house
flies, land still was eager for more. Some
of the scientists seem to agree with him
that it may be possible to eXterminate
noxious insects by artificial multiplied
ton of their enemies. If he can pro-

quitoes and flies, he will remove an in

idea that the best time
to Marry. to marry is when one
wants to and can con-
veniently and comfortably. But there
are some people who have more or less
prudence about marrying, and some
even have so much that they never
marry. A writer in the Hospital, who
dare not say whether he is married or
not, attempts to tell women when they
should marry. He addresses himself to
what he calls the average civilized
woman, and he advises her to marry
at any age between twenty-fOur and
thirty-siX. 1t is not said that no
woman shall marry earlier or later than
either of these ages, but youth and
health and vigor are ordinarily at their
highest perfection between these two
periods. Very early marriages are
seldom desirable for girls, and that for
many reasons. The brain is immature,
the reason is feeble, and the character
is uniformed. The considerations which
would prompt girl to marry at seven
teen would, in many cases, have very
little weight with her at twenty-four.
At seventeen she is a child, at
girl has intelligent parents, the
oCFCh yCoIS UVIWCCH oCFCu1OCh anu
twenty-fOur are the period when both
mind and body are most amenable to
wise discipline, and best repay the
thought and toll devoted to their de-
velopmenl. Before seventeen, but few
girls have learned to understand what
life is, what discipline is, what duty is.
They cannot value what is best, either
in the fathers wisdom or in the mothers
tenderness. When married at that
childish period they are like young re-
cruits taken fresh from the farm and
workshop and carried off to long cam
paign without any preliminary drill and
training; or like SchOOlbOy removed
from school to curacy without being
sent to the university or to a theologi-
cal hall. Who can help grieving over
a child-wife. especially if she have
children, and husband who is an in
experienced and possibly exacting boy
man? The ardOr of his love soon cOolS.
The visionary bliss of his poetical i'm
aginatIon vanishes like the summer
mist, there is nothing left but diSap-
pointment and wonder that what prom
Used to be so beautiful and long day
should have clouded over almost before
sunrise.
This seems to be sensible. It could
be wished that it had appeared in some
other place than the Hospital, but we
must take things as we find them. We
commend it TO those civilized women
who have reached the age of twenty
four and are not yet married. also to
those who thlrty-SiX and are still single.

will make it favorite with all ages and

being becomingly obviated. In the
form of a tricycle., the family is to be

need is a motive power in the shape of
compressed air, stored electricity, soda,

SUMNER OUTING.

1t requires practice and discipline to
go out to the lakes and camp and fish
and get the real juice out of the thing.
A party of visitors to the Twin Cities
from the lakeless regions Of the South,
week or so ago, came up buoyant with
the theory that the most merry and
satisfactory week of their earthly
career was to be bounded by their COM
ing and going to the outrageous shades
of White Bear lake. 1t was their first
experience at camping. They had
tents and some wagon loads of equip
ments and eommissary stores, and in
their joyous caravan the gleeful bird in
the heart tuned up for a seven days
song. Aside from shower or two that
should but give the needed variations,
the weather was Arcadian, Italian, or
perfect. But the gush of enthusiasm
flowed too rapidly. 1t was exhausted
just as the current of felicity should
have got under good Roadway.
One day started decentralization and de-
sertion, and the second night the folded
tent had disappeared, and the lacus-
trine dream of life in the white bosom
of the canvas was a confused and
weary memory of disgust. They had
simply not learned how to find enjoy
ment in that way. Others spend weeks
by the still waters in tents and find it
satisfactory, and not at all detrimental
to the physical or mental economy.
Still, if it were questionable to find
rest, recreation and enjoyment out at
the water sides, the average citizen
would get more comfort and vigor out
of morning, and at times evening
bath, and star-gazing loll in the ham,
mock, free from the exertion to find
rest and enjoyment at the lakes. There
have been very few days this summer
when the questionable individual
could not find as much comfort in st.
Paul as at any resort about.
