tng-A Csution.
Professor Knight, OF the Harvard Medical
school, read paper not long ago before tho
Boston Society for Medical Observation on the
choice Of climate for consumptivs persona
Some OF the ideas advanced may be Of vaiue.
Patients who have cavities In their lungs,
and those who have severe hectic symptoms,
home; nor should those who have any ecute
affection Of the Lungs do 80 during the acute
stages Of the disease. II, In the early stages
Of consumption, complete cure can be Hoped
for, q climate II 30 be chosen In which the
patient can remain throughout the year. II,
bn the other hand, nothing moro than tenn
porary relief and some prolongation Of life
can be expected, o mild winter climate is rec-
commended.
While consumption presents q varsity Of
phases and conditions. making ft imponibse
to lay down flxed and invariable rules, II
may be said that in general the first object
aimed at by o change Of climate In 10 enable
tho patient 10 live an active, out door life
for the purpose Of assisting nutrition Of the
lungs, and this Is best attained In situations
at an altitude Of 1000 to {, 900 feet above the
sea level.
Dry and pure air, q good proportion Of
clear days, and raref1ed atmosphere which
compels greater activity Of the respiratory
organs, make mountainous country the bcst
for this purpose. Those for whom high aiti-
tudcs may be recommended ART.
a. Patients who show no more alarming
symptoms thnn morning cough and cxpec.
toration. For them Colorado and New Mexico
are suited. 2.j Those who have some con
solidations Of the lungs, but no cavity, nor
any serious constitutional disturbance For
persons who exhibit such disturbance high
pulse and temperatures lower altitude
should be tried first; say the pure regions Of
southern Georgia for the cold months, and
then, IL there is Improvement q more els-
waited region. B) Gases In which thsre Il
early and frequent hemorrhage, without
much other evidence Of diseaM, Tho moun-
tains are peculiarly suited TO persons OF this
class; and, a. Persons who are recovering
from acute diseases Of the lungs. But Of
these cases great care should be exercised,
lest the steps taken to ward c6 permanent
pulmonary disease have an evil effect upon
other organs weakened by sickness.
Patients in whom tubercular disease has In
vaded the larynx should on no account be
sent to high attitudes. They need mild and
moist climate, like that Of Southern Cali
fornia. Moreover, those who have tendency
TO irritability Of the bronchial tubes, and
nervous persons, do not do we'll in high alti-
tudes. A very high altitude should not, as
rule, be recommended for any patient over

Brahrna and HIS wsSA

One sees Brahma occasionally In The Enst
pictured In heroic size on The walls of houses,
or AZ an idol Of wood or stone, occupying Q
shed at the end Of village with his wtfs
Sarasvati. He IL also, Of course, 70 be seen
In temples, but not often. Sarasvsh ID
always represented as beautiful young
woman presenting a flower to her husband.
Like our own mother Eve, she was created
out Of portion OF her husbands body, a.
though the Hindoos do not distinctly ay .
rib.
When this happened Brahma was posessed
of but one head. Beholding this lovely,
newly created companion, however, he at
once became smitten with her charrna ea-
rasvati being shame faced maiden, mod.
estly turned away to escape his gaze. At
Brahma's wish to still behold her, q second
head issued from his body. Az the darnsel
skipped around to another position, third
head appeared, and then fourth. Atlength,
ia her embarrassment, Sarasvati sprang into
the sky. Not TO DO outdone, however, Brah-
ma instantly produced fifth head This
fifth bead was subsequently, struck or by
another god In dispute, which leaves him
only foar. - Thomas Stevens In Courier

Give US fewer laws and less govern
ment." demands the Wichita EAGLE II
fewer laws are better than many aud less
government than more then no laws and
no government must be better than any
quantity, however small. And this is the
logical demand of the anarchists. l.
Brother Murdoch a convert to the cham
pions of the red flags-Leavenworth Times.
Not to characterize the foregoing crit
icism in language fitting to its gall we
will say that the spirit and purpose of
the EAGLE in its opposition to the policy
of the legislature in imitless enactments
has been to prevent if possible the very
condition that it is charged, by indirec-
ton, with assisting in bringing about.
Aside from the question of justice and
common sense. it does not require a
prophetic vision to see the logical end of
the policy in vogue in this state in the
matter of excessive legislation, and if it
be anarchistic to condemn that policy
and vigorously oppose its further pro-
gress, then the EAGLE pleads guilty and
its critics may make the most of it. To
borrow q metaphor. it is not that the
EAGLE loves its party less, but loves its
state and tha rights and true interests of
its citizens more, that it speaks words
that often causes it more pain than salts
faction.

TWO WAYS TO ACCOUNT FOR IT.

| The I,ouisvill Courier-Journal is very
naturally disguised at the way in which
Mr.. Tanner, pension commissioner, pro
poses to run his department of the ser
vice, and tells the following anecdote t6
explain how Mr.. Tanner grew from a
corporal in the late civil war to be a pen
sion commissioner:
The information that Doctor Tanner III
tends to supplant even the Democratic
doctors ON the boards of pension examiners
is convincing proof that the malodorous
corporal is or was the identical boy de-
scribed by popular minstrel. The father
OF this youngSter was much concerned
about choosing vocation for him and de-
v!sed plan to determine what he was
fitted for. The old gentleman placed on a
table in the family room bible. an apple
and silver dollar. His idea was to send
the boy into the room by himself, wait a
few minutes and suddenly open the door
to observe what he was doing. II
the youth was reading the bible, the
father reasoned that it would
indicate an aptitude for the ministry and
he would make him preacher; II he was
eating the apple he would bring him up
as farmer, and if he was lingering the
money he would give him business train
ing. Carrying out the preliminary ar
rangements of his scheme, the expectant
father walked into the room and beheld
his boy sitting on the bible, munching the
apple and with the dollar in his pocket.
With a look of disgust the parent ex-
claimed: "He's id hog; I'll make him
a politician" And the boy grew up to be
pension commissioner.
There is usually more than one way to
account for thing. If there was not,
the conflicting theories Of philosophers
and scientists would be cloves labor
lost" The Omaha Republican suggests
the following explanation of Corporal
Tanners promotion for the Courier
Journals consideration. 1t is the pro-
duction of little western prodigy of a
religious turn of mind, aged years, and
the story contains quite as good moral
lecture as that of the Courier-Journal:
"Once there Were two colts. One of
them belonged to a man who had God,
and the other one belonged to man who
didn't have any God. One of them looked
over the fence and didn't have anything to
eat. His man didn't have any God. The
other colt ate lots and lots of grass in his
pasture, and he grew, and grew. and grew,
till he got tail and buggy to him. His
man had a God"

PAPER PENCILS,

Paper pencils are the subject of q pat
ent which promises to lead TO large in
dustry, says the London Inventor, as ii
understands that the price at which
they can be produced is marvelously
low. Ordinary cedar wood pencils, as
everyone knows, are made by glueiug
two pieces of wood together, after hav-
ing placed into slot made in one of
them prepared slip of graphite or
other marking material. But though it
seems so simple there are great many
operations to be performed IN doing this,
such as cutting the large wood into
strips Of the right size, making the slot
or groove IN which the lead has to be
placed, preparing the leads of the re-
quired size, firing these to make them
firm, then placing them by hand in the
slots of the wood strips. glueing these
wood strips together, and after the glue
is set the two pieces of glued wood have
to be rounded off and polished, etc.
The idea OF using paper instead Of
wood for pencils is not new, but an OBJ
lection TO pencils thus formed was the
difficulty Of sharpening, paper being 50
tough that even with the sharpest knife,
the jerking from the paper to the lead
caused the latter TO snap of. Then,
again, the paper having 70 be folded
round previously formed and hardened
marking material, was tedious and
expensive labor. The objections TO the
use of paper are overcome by Mr..
Green's process,
The paper is first made into tubes,
gross or more of these are placed IN a
frame forming the lower end Of cylin-
der, and the substance TO be used as a
marking material, which now forms the
center of each tube, is hardened by
gradual drying during six days al in
creased temperatures Up TO this point
the paper tubes are simply tough cases,
but, by plunging them into melted par
affine wax, the paper becomes Of such
nature that it can be cut as easily Is the

Governor Francis refused to commute
the sentences Of the Bald Knobbers who
were doomed to suffer death yesterday
at Ozark. In declining to interfere
with the action of the law in their cases,
he holds that the extenuating circum-
stances set forth in the petition for COM
mutation balanced poorly with the enor-
nifty of the offense committed, and that
a careful examination of the facts shows
no reason why the asperity of justice
should be softened in dealing with a
crime of which the condemned men
were unquestionably guilty. "The
state" says Governor Francis, ''guaran-
tees security to every citizen, and its ex-
eoutive authority cannot be better en-
ployed than In throwing about its child
rem the mantle Of its protection" The
Kansas City Star assumes that ''this
position by the governor of the state will
serve notice to the world that human
life, the rights of property and the sane
tity of the home are accounted sacred in
Missouri, and that the lawless element
which has iurked in its remote corners
is to be rooted out and obliterated by the
strong arm of the law"

BEAVER BITY, May z, 1889.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
No Mans Land is open for settlement
The last session of congress placed il
under the jurisdiction of the United
States courts at Muskogee, l. T., and
Paris, Tex. Being under the protection
of law all are safe in life, property and
the pursuit of happiness. The next SEES
sion congress will make it land district
and establish land offices. No region in
the United States or world is attracting
more favorable attention today than this
imperial territory Of the American new
southwest, and none is or could be more
worthy of such regard. Nearly 4,000,-
900 acres $4,000 homes) are embraced.
Soil, climate and capacity of production
are unsurpassed. 1t is an empire grander
than many of dominions for which kings
have wrestled in bloody strife during all
the ages. Every acre of all this vast
area is rich in agricultural pastures as
green as can be found on the continent
1t is traversed by rivers and streams and
dotted with springs. 1t is a land fair to
the eye and immeasurabiy rich in re-
sources; its climate invites; all the cereals
grow well; wheat is the fayorite crop.
Corn yields abundantly. Orchards do
well and the entire region smiles with
bountiful harvests.
The years are hardly out of sight
in which we. all admired the
lovely valleys and prairies and
pronounced them the ranchers
paradise Now are seen the thousands
of farm houses and scores of busy peo-
pie, the long trains of emigration from
Oklahoma to this country is now coming
in, and they all say that this country is
much better than that of Oklahoma; and
they also report there will be large col
ony arrive here at Beaver City on the 9th
day Of May, with the intention of locat-
ing at Beaver City.
Parties who harmonic with us in
their convictions we cordially invite to
come, and will aid them as far as posi-
bic in securing the best locations. Ladies
desiring to take claims will be specially
cared for. The cattle mems days are no
more in this fair land: the cowboy and
his employer look on ruefully as they see
their nutritious ranges turned under by
the plow. 1t is inevitable. Large herds
and unlimited range will soon be no
more in No Mans Land. Experiments
have shown conclusively that the soil is
rich and the hardy home
5teader is taking possession. Small
herds of cattle will continue: stock grow
ing and farming both will be profitable
here. A. MUNDELL.
