A coLoRED man by the name of Abet

A coLoRED man by the name of Abed-
nego Young, was in Eatonton, Ca, the
other day, who is slowly turning white.
He was very sick last year with typhoid
fever. When he began to recover
white spots showed themselves on one
side Of his face and ear, and on differ
ent parts of his body, which are gradu-
ally spreading, and the prospect is that
eventually, If he lives long enough, he
growing out of the spots is white, other
wise it is black.

DR.. NORRIS, of Sault Ste. Marie, had
his valise stolen, and the thief was sub
sequently drowned. Some one found
the body with the valise and immedi-
ately assumed that it was Norris re-
mains. This led the local paper to give
the doctor a free obituary notice much
longer and more flattering probably
than it would have been had he called
more promptly to claim his valise.

It is inhuman to confine human
beings within the walls OF our prisons
and keep them there for years with
out allowing them to work. AS 1t
has often been said, it should be the
aim of the state to reform and make
better men of it's criminals, and not
torment them, so that when they
leave the prison they do 80 with a
feeling that they will have revenge
for having been deprived of their lib
erty. Report comes from the prison
at Sing Sing, N. Y, that the inmates
who have been confined there for a
few years without labor, are becoming
insane at fearful rate. Only a few
days since three young man, one 10,
one % and one "a years ofage. become
violently insane and were taken to
the asylum for the insane at Auburn.
Principal Keeper Connaughton says
that men are going insane owing to
their having no work. ST trust" he
says, "that the legislature will do
something very soon for the convicts.
If they don't we will be kept busy all
summer sending insane prisoners to
the ASYLUM" This should indeed
serve as a warning to Minnesota law
makers. Pr ~-

AlbertLea Standard: The managers
efthe state normal schools, and their
local benefciaries are, as usual, de-
handing of the legislature big appro-
priations, and in conjunction With
the managers Of the ether state insti-
tttdittions, they will undoubtedly, as
usual, combine their influences, and
dictate to the Legislature that their
extortionate demands be granted.
The normal schools as local educa-
tional institutions are we'll enough,
but otherwise they are great humbugs
and outrageous impositions on the
taxpayers. It would be blessing
to the state if they could be donated
altogether to the respective ambitious
cities in which they are located, and
one-quarter of their annual cost dis.
tributed among the various,state high
schools, which exist In nearly every
county. It is remarkable that among
the well-posted and level headed
members of the legislature there Is
not one to rise up and protest against
and resist with all his might the
enormous subsidies that are being
demanded and absorbed by these local,
so-called normal school.

A Norwich (Conn) correspondent of
the New York Sun says that Eastern
Connecticut is overrun with skunks this
spring and that skunk hunters are bag
ging immense numbers of these savory
animals. The pelt of the skunk is valu-
able to make into American sable, by q
process that only the Russians had the
courage to discover, and which, after the
method-that Of addition, extraction
and silence-has been applied, is shipped
back to America, cut up into strips, and
sold to ladies, with which to fringe their
cloaks, muffs and necks. 1t is very fash
ionable. The oil is good for rheumatism,
Group and the ear-ache. In about every
old fashioned house in New England a
vial of yellow, sticky oil may be found
in the fall and winter, tied by twine
string about its neck TO nail over the
fire place. 1t is skunk's oil. The oil is
rich creamy, balmy and emollient. Rheu-
matism and Group fly before it. Often
the approach of it, long before it has
come within easy range, will bring a
croupy child to his senses.

bill into the senate to improve the
civil service of the state. 1t provides
that the governor shall appoint three
commissioners, who shall serve one,
two and three years respectively, from

existing laws for the selection of
persons to fill offices in the govern
ment of the state. These rules must
have the governors approval. No
person using liquor shall hold an
office under the state. aad no money
to be used for political purposes shall

John W. Shu11, in an article on Faith
and Providence" which appears in the
March number of the chronological
journal, very truly says: Children,
youth, men and women, in the prime of
life, or in old age, sicken and die, and
ministers impress US with the strange
ness and inscrutability of the ways of
Providence. We are given life, and the
blessings of health and happiness, we
know not why, but on conditions whose
fulnllment Is wholly matter of choice.
Failing fulfllment, pain, sickness, and
death ensue. Nor are we left to chance
in choosing, for intellect discerns the
laws of life and health with as great GER
tainty, as 1t does the laws Of the morgan
ic world. If reason demonstrates tho
falsity of belief in Providence it il
degrading to the Christian profession to
believe in 1t, and Christian ministers
should be first to enlighten the minds of
the laity. The sooner we shall divorce
ourselves from prejudice, and from er.
ror, venerable with age, and sanctioned
by monkish or scholastic names, the
sooner we shall be free to consider the
ways of God to man. and receive the
blessings of worthy service rendered In
diligently, in accordance with His laws,
and not in blindness of ignorance and

Deafness Can't Be Cured

By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucus lining
of the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but all in
famed condition Of the .mucus sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we can not cure by TAX
