Neal Dow. war on smoklnr.

Gen. Dow is strongly opposed to the
use of tobacco, and has carried on a life
long crusade against it. He always has
claimed that tobacco dulls the moral
sense. Many years ago before there
were any railroads, a man travelling in
a stage coach. with Dowone day lighted
a cigar.
81 wish you would stop smoking, sir"
said Dow.
SIS smoking offensive to youY" the man
asked.
Eyes, SIR"
well, I'll stop as soon as I've finished
this cigar"
Without another word Dow suddenly
reached forward, pulled the cigar from
the mans lips and threw it into the road.
The man fired up, but looked at the
well knit figure of his fellow passenger,
regarded the bright light in his eyes
and cooled off.
81 recall an incident coming down the
Rigi, while 1 was travelling in Europe"
said the general. European railroads did
not provide a separate smoking car then,
and 1 don't know as they do now. A
passenger in our car was complacently
smoking his cigar.
You're an Englishman, sir, aren't
your 1 said to him.
"'Oh, no. said he briskly, I'm an
American
"'Whatl you an American and smok-
ing in the presence of ladiesl'
ii stopped smoking, but with poor
grace, and he looked as if he would like
to eat me.
II was of a different type from a
man whom 1 met on u steamer in the
English channel. l asked him to stop
smoking, and he did so with profuse
apologies. 1 told him that / believed
that tobacco dulls the moral sense, but
he smiled at the idea.
"'You furnish a proof of my theory,
sir said l. You were smoking when
you ought not to nave been, and you ac-
~knowledged it as 500 as 1 called your
attention to it Tobacco dulled your
moral sense. '"-Lewiston journal.

wnlls Collins. wopdrou, Talent.

Dining one evening with Wilkie Col
Inns, he spoke of the difficulty Of imagin-
ing a place or character which had not
its original in real life. After he had
described the house in "Armadale," a
gentleman called upon him and upbraid-
ed him for putting his residence into
print. The description was exact, al
though Wilkie Collins had never seen
the place. He invented a man who was
30 careful about his food that he weighed
it In little scales at table. A gentleman
was introduced 20 Mr.. Collins and said:
You had n 10 right, sir, to caricature me.
! weigh my food in little scales, sirl
Here they are, sirl 1 always carry them
about with me by advice of my physi-
clans. But is that any reason why ]
should be held up to ridicule, sir p In
vain Mr.. Collins protested that he had
never before heard of such a habit

Good Advice Thrown Away.

A Berlin judge the other day, when adj
dressing a locksmith who appeared as a
witness, spoke as follows: "I should have
thought you would dissuade your work
men from going to law for such a trife."
Witness-Thats what 1 did. L said,
children" said 1, "the clerk at the law
yer's will take your coat, and the lawyer
will strip off your shirt, and as for the
judge, why, man, he'll skin you ahvel"
You see, 1 talked sensibly to the folks
like that, but it was all of no usel-Zeit-
gest.

Pliny speaks of his great work ON nat
ural history in thirty-seven books as an
encyclopedia. Quintilian, Galen, Vitru-
vius and Zonaras apply the term to the
'doctrinarum omnium discipline" The
word was introduced into English in the
Sixteenth century by Sir Thomas Elyot,
who speaks of 1.-THE world of science and
circle of doctrine, whiche is in ole word
of greke Encyclopaedia" But the Middle
Ages had their encyclopedias also, the
greatest of which was the "Speculum
Mundi' of Tincent de Beauvais, who
was lector or librarian to st. Louis, in
the Thirteenth century. 1t was reprinted
in four folio volumes as late a. 1924 by
the Benedictines of Arras.
We pass over q number of similar
works to which the revival of learning
in the Sixteenth century gave birth, all
of them having been frequently reprinted
and in general use, until we arrive in
the Seventeenth century 1t the historical
dictionaries of Moreri and Bayle, which
still retain their place in our libraries.
The first alphabetical encyclopedia in
English was the work of John Harris, a
London clergyman, who was secretary
of the Royal society and a friend of New
ton. But this Lexicon Technicum"
was superseded by Chambers Universal
Dictionary, which was the most popular
book of reference of the Eighteenth cen
fury. Mr.. Lyons mentions that Abra-
ham Rees produced an enlarged edition
of this work in 17Ss, but he fails to do
justice to the far more important and
complete publication known as "Rees'
~Cyclopedia," which belongs to the earlier
years of the present century, and is still
in many respects a book of much utility
and vafue.-The Edinburgh Review.

True TO Their Allegiance,

EDITORS HERALD-In my missionary
labors, walks and talks with the citizens
from the Old San Gabriel river to the
confines of the Santa Ana river, have
interviewed many citizens in regard to a
new county, commencing at the Old San
Gabriel river, extending east, taking a
part of the proposed Orange county, in
cluding Anaheim, Garden Grove and
Westminster, and terminating at point
on the Pacific near the headwaters of La
Bolsa Chica Bay; thus taking from the
proposed county of Orange about two
and half millions of taxable property,
which will make in the aggregate Cat a
low estimate) county worth seventeen
and half millions of taxable property,
well populated, which exceeds and sur
passes any like territory on this coast for
prcducuveness, natural advantages and
prosperity; in short, the within de-
scribed boundaries will make the i'm
perial, the banner county of the world.
The center of attraction of this imperial
county for county honors and patriotism
will probably be Norwalk or its immedi-
ate vicinity, which is located nearly in
the center. Either one of two things is
beyond controversy; should Santa Ana
succeed in her scheme of Capitalization,
the western portion of the proposed
county of Orange will surely make appli-
cation in 1891 for new county or pray
the old county Los Angeles) that they
may return to their first love-Los

EDITORS HERALD-I have noted with
pleasure the interview with Mayor
Spence, published in this mornings
HERALD, and have been able to note
its good effects on the street. Accord
ingly, having the interest of this country
at heart, l would respectfully suggest
that the HERALD follow up the good work
by publishing interviews on the same
subject with other prominent financiers
in our midst God knows the enemies
OF this country are doing enough to
inspire distrust of our outlook, and il
comes in very timely from such true
friends as the HERALD has ever been to
do some such thing to counteract their
baneful effects, and this is the more
especially delightful task, since it re.
quires nothing but that the truth be told
concerning our advantages. W.

The ounce OF prevention.

Under the above heading the New
York World OF February 10th, contains
an editorial, of which the following are a
few extracts:
physicians and unprofessional men
of sense agree that if people would take
little OF the pains to prevent disease
that they do to have it cured, that the
civilized world would be much less like
a vast hospital than it is now.
But the idea of a regular
and stated physical examination, even of
persons who are apparently well, is an
excellent one. The approaches of pull
monary complaints, kidney troubles, and
many of the other ills that flesh ia heir
to, are so insidious as not to be apparent
to their victim. In nothing
is it truer than in disease that 'an ounce
OF prevention is worth pound of cure. D"
There is great deal of wisdom in
what the World remarks. individuals,
as rule, do Eot give their physical well
fare attention. and it is only when
alarmed by the presence of disease itself
the consciousness Of failing strength
that attention is given to such matters.
Much has been said and written in re-
cent years concerning the extreme and
oftentimes fatal danger which results
from delay in the treatment of kidney
diseases.
Physicians admit that they cannot con-
troll advanced disease in those organs.
and it is doubtful whether they can con.
troll it in any stage without the assist
ance OF Warner's Safe Cure, which is
established as the only known means
which will reliably prevent and cure this
class OF disease.
Besides, it has been definitely ascer-
tanned that kidney disease is the real
cause of i'll health in most cases where
consumption, heart, brain or nervous
disorders are supposed to exist, and in
consequence of such belief many fatal
mistakes have been committed by our
best physicians in treating such dis
orders, which are but the symptoms of
the disease, whilst they have allowed the
real disease-disease of the kidneys, to
escape their notice until too late.
There is no safer or surer way by
which health can be preserved and d.
sease averted an the occasional use of
Warmers Safe Cure, which will benefit
the ''engines of life'-the kidneys, even
if they are in a normally healthy state !;
while the good that will result in case
disease is Threatened, or is already pres
ent, cannot be over-estimated,
The most careful examination made by
a skiilful physician sometimes is unre-
liable, since this clsss of disease is ex-
tremely deceptive, and seldom openly
manifests itself until the unsuspecting
sufferer is beyond assistance.

CONTRADICTORY RUmORS.
Regarding the Steamer Ontario o
the Beaver Line.
lcoNrINuED FROM FIFTH PAel


MONTREAL, May Silt is rumorec
here that a terrible steamship disaster
occurred in the Gulf yesterday. The
story goes that the Beaver line steamship
Ontario, Captain Campbell which left
here Wednesday for Liverpool with 6
fIll list of cabin passengers, has gone
down with all hands. From the last re-
ports of the vessel received here she
should have been in the neighborhood Of
Anticosta, and as it is known that q
terrible storm has been raging on the
Gulf for the last few days, the worst is
anticipated.
The steamship Lake Ontario WAS a
vessel cf 1888 tons.
MONTREAL, May 31.-The steamship
in the Gulf yesterday with all hands,
passed Rimsuski going out yesterday
afternoon. She was then all right.
Telegraph offices below Rimsuski
have heard nothing to indicate that she
had met with an accident.
Signal Service reports for Anticcsti and
other points down the st. Lawrence, re-
ceived this morning, make no reference
to any marine disaster.
LONDON, May 31.-Officials here, of the
Canada Shipping Company, have re-
ceived no information to confirm the re-
port that their steamer Lake Ontario
foundered in the Gulf of st. Lawrence.
CHICAGO, May 3l.-Chicago agents of
the line to which the steamer Ontario
belongs have received telegram from
the Montreal owners, saying that the
steamer passed Fame Point yesterday,
and that was the last news which
couldIhave been received of her.
MONTREAL, May 31.-There is no
truth in the report that the steamer Lake
Ontario has been wrecked. Inquiries at
various points along the coast of Anti
cost elicit the same answer. Nothing
has been heard from the steamer since
she passed out to sea Wednesday.
