the knowledge of some means of pro-
longing human life beyond the limit
set By nature, some means ut regal ming
youthful viriiity and spirits when old
age has already set Its snowy seal upon
the brow has been the secret souhgt by
learned men. Astrologers alchemists
aud explorers have turned their talent
and their pains to its discovery. The
philosophers stone with its fabulous
power of turning base mentals into gold
has not had half 50 many devotees.
Despite the cynic, the desire for life
is more firmly rooted in the breast of
man then lust for gold.
Ponce de Leon sought the fountain of
eternal youth in Florida aud found in
stead a grave. The growth of geograpL=
zeal knowledge and the spread of CON-
mon sense has made the appearance of a
new Ponce de Leon unlikely, but in no
wise diminished the desire of mankind for
the secret of perpetual youth. 1t is in
chemistry that men to day seek the
saving elixir.
1t is but few weeks since the dis
tinguished chemist Brown-Sequard of
Paris announced that the great secret
was revealed to him. The elixir of life
was his. The yltais of rabbit aud Of
guinea pigs torn from the gentle
animals still breathing and Galpitant, he
brayed in mortar. He made thereof an
extract which being injected into the
veins of decrepit paupers, made them
cast aside their canes crutches, leap with
JOY and deport themselves as young men.
So far as has yet been made known
the effect of the magic fluid was confined
to relieving their decrepitude; they re-
manned pauper as before. Their shriv-
elled veins were filled with new blood,
but the aching void in their pockets re-
manned untitled.
The news of the remarkable discovery
spreading to the United States led to
loud discussion, both scientific and ig-
norant. DR. Hammond, whose eminence
in his professions no we'll Informed
American will question is himself con-
vert Adopting the Brown-Sequard
theory, he slightly modified the French
physicians method. Discarding the
guinea pig and the rabbit, he went to
the little lamb for the chief constituent
of his elixir From this complaisant
animal he took certain parts which are
not unknown to the epicure, and which
though not unrelated to spring lamb,
are never eaten with mint sauce. There
with this American physician repeated
the triumphs of his Gallo contempora-
ry, and sundry suddenly rejuvenated old
men bear witness t. the saving grace of
lamb fries when taken hypodermically.
Is this all humbug? Are two scientists
SO eminent as Brown-Sequard and DR.
Hammond to be accused lightly of play
ing charlatan? Let some one else do it
then. We will not, nor will we declare
that by the methods of modern chemis-
try, guided by the light of modern ply
sioiogy compound may not be devised
which shall revivify failing vitality and
extend, within the period of reason, the
limits of human life.-K. C. News.

The failure of the salt trust has caused
at least momentary alarm in other com
bines. The shares of the sugar, cotton
seed oil, lead and distillers trusts have
fallen off, in one nearly SIS and in others
from 50 to Sc. The trust system is of
foreign birth, and is not sure of its foot
hold here. So conspicuous a failure to
materialize as this pretentious salt com
bine presents communicates shock all
along the line; perhaps this is due to re

pie followed closely on the opening of

A SCOTCH SHIP CANAL.

~ Proposed Improvement Of the Canal
Between The Clyde and Forth.
The agitation in favor Of canals and
waterways, which has been waged in
England for some time back, has at
Last extended to Scotland. Such agita-
tions are contagious, and it is not,
therefore. surprising to hear the revi-
val Of an old suggestion from the North
on the subject. The proposal is to
improve the present existing canal be-
tween the Clyde and the Forth, so that
ships might be able to pass through.
The canal was constructed century
ago. and Is IS miles long. extending
from Bowling on the Clyde to Grange
mouth on the Forth, the line being al
most due east and west, and there is a
branch of q miles to Port Dundas in
the north Of Glasgow. Il rises 156 feet
and hAs 50 locks. At the present time
only very small craft can be passed
through, not only because Of the short
locks. but also owing to the depth of
water being about nine feet. 1t is pro-
posed that It should be made suitable
for deep ssa-going ships.
There ere no great engineering diff
Sulties IN tAe way. The cost IL vari-
susly estimated between FL. 500, 900
end 81, 000. 000-a sum which, it is
thought might b easily raised by a
company. It u coutended that, being

A QUEER DISEASE.
What . Sceptieal Victim Has to Say About
Klept0mauiacs.

What . Sceptical Victim Has to Say About
Kleptomauiacs.
1.-THE kleptomaniacs who confine
their attention exclusively to lewelry
stores are multiplying to an alarming
extent. A few years ago we used to
read about their exploits in dry goods
houses and wonder how it was that
they would be tolerated, We know
now.
II venture the assertion without fear
Of contradiction that nearly every re-
tail jeweler in New York has his regu-
lar kleptomania customers. Well
dressed women of respectable appear
ance generally seem to be afflicted with
this disorder. They attend church and
have families. When caught walking
of with some of our property we have
to politely remind them that they have
picked up something by mistake. To
accuse them of theft, would result in
an action for damages in most cases.
Their pastors come TO US and plead;
their husbands also put in an appear
ance, and what can we do except with
draw our charges and keep quiet? If
we don't. their friends trade elsewhere
and denounce us as villains.
Why is 1t that men are hot subject
to this disease. and If they are. how is
it that they are sent to prison? Posi-
bly, kleptomania attacks the gentle sex
only; but don't see why it should, nor
how it is that there is not some disease
by which the persons afflicted would
have an Unsuitable habit of leaving
their personal property in stores in
stead Of taking out ours without paying
for il. "-Jeweler's Weekly.
