Il his discovery.
ny new ,uea has had to fight its
way into the world, and in the pro-
fession Of medicine the obstinacy of
the doctors has been greater than the
opposition. of the people. In fact, the
doctors constituted themselves guar
dams of the people, self-appoInted,
ofcourse, and have gone so far as to
urge and secur the passage Of laws
to protect, not the doctors, but the
dear people, against so-called quacks.
Under the law only ''~regulars'' are
privileged to call themselves doctors.
The fact that one of the greatest dis
coveries Of modern times is just
being put under the control Of man,
and that its power is being felt in
every venue of science, has no effect
on the compounder Of pills. The
knowledge of. scientifically applying
electricity to. the cure Of disease is
quackey, when compared to the
ability Of one who ~prescribes pills or
epson salts. The Ignorance of the
average doctor in applying one Of
the greatest agencies for the relief Of
suffering humanity is much more de-
serving Of indictment than this hon.
orable old. physician, who has prac-
ticed medicine for" so years, and is
to-day, perhaps, the beet info-ed
man on the curative, powers of cleo.
tricity in the United States. How
there can be any qpackery about the
scientific application. Of electricity to
the cure Of diseases, we are unable
to understand. The doctors should
not object TO honorable competitor.

In the case of the State against

cation for a change of venue, swear.

refused to sustain the application in
so far as it applied to Cooper, Moui-
teau and Morgan counties, whereupon
the defendant withdrew his applfca-
ton, and on Tuesday filed a mntion
to quash the three indictments, which

The Irish people Of the United
States are against Mr.. Parnell. The
people who have for years contribu-

party believe that there is something
radically wrong with this body, whose

Mark Antony and Cleopatra, or our

"Sing a Song of sIxpence."

A hidden meaning is saidto be concealed
in the familiar rhyme of Sing Song of
Sixpence," and the following pretty expla-
nation of it is given:
THE four and twenty blackbirds repre-
sent twenty four hours. The bottom Of
the pie is the world; the top crust is the
sky that overarches it. The opening of
the pie is day dawn, when the birds begin
to sing, and surely such sight is a
dainty dish to set before king
1.-The king, who is represented as sitting
in his parlor counting his money, is the
sun; while the gold pieces that slip through
his fingers are golden sunshine. The
queen, who sits in the dark kitchen, is the
moon, and the honey with which she re-
gales herself is the moonlight.
''The industrious maid, who is in the
garden at work before the king-the sun
has risen, is the day dawn, and the clothes
she hangs out are the clouds, while the
bird which so traRically ends the song by
'nipping off her nose is the hour of sun
set. So we have the whole day-in pie"

NEW YORK STATE MASONIC ASYLUM.
II embers Of the order The children are
To receive thorough education and instruc
ii On in the various trades. 1t TO be erect
ed on site of les acres just outside Of
Utica, Y Y.
The building will have three wings, the
frontage measuring 2OG feet and the side
lines through the wings about l25 feet
Each room will have at least one window
and will open on a hall connecting with
the main hall, thus making it possible TO
reach any room in the building without
passing through another. The entrance, a
spacious vestibule, is TO be at the head of
small flight of stairs outside of the build
ing proper. A partition divides the vesti-
bule from the main hall, from which cor
ridors will run east and west. Similar
corridors will run through the east and
west wings, connecting with smaller halls
leading to the lecture and dining rooms.
In the front part of the building to the left
of the main hall are to be the reception
rooms, library, parlor and reading rooms,
and on the opposite side the superintend-
ent's offices, the trustees room and par
lor All of these rooms are TO be separated
by sliding doors, which viii allow the en-
tire floor to be made into one large room il
necessary. Across the hall from the library
are to be the mems parlOr and smoking
room. In the west wing are eight rooms,
four of which are to be occupied by the
resident staff, while the others are to be
utilized as class rooms. AT the rear of
this wing there is TO be an officers dining
room, while at the rear of the main hall in
the same wing a lecture room, capable of
comfortably seating $50 persons, is to be
situated. In the second story are to be
rooms for the superintendent, matron and
other members of the resident staff. At
either end of the front Of the building are
to be the children's dormitories. Each will
hold twenty beds.
The fourth story extends only over the
center of the main building, and is intend
ed to be used as an infirmary. 1t is divided
into five spacious rooms, one of which is
to be used as ANAL for the recreation of the
occupants of the floor.
The style of the building is renaissance,
and it is to be built of quarry faced stone
and Philadelphia Croton pressed brick,
the former for the basement and the latter
for the upper stories. The trimmings are
TO be of Lake Superior redstoue. 1t is ex-
pected that the work will be advanced
enough in May next for the laying of the
cornerstone and the building completed in
the spring of 1892

rance women, as by a common i'm
pulse, turned TO prayer, and in many
places, especially HillsborO, Washington
Court House, Greenville, Aenia and the
villages of southern Ohio generally. there
was a cry for action. DIR. Dio Lewis was
then lecturing in that section on hygiene
and temperance, and in various places re-
lated the sad experiences of his childhood,
and how his mother had won his father
and others to temperance by earnest prayer.
He suggested general movement of the
Christian women, and in Hillsboro and
Washington Court House the suggestion
was at once adopted Tie first movement
was in Hillsboro. Seventy women there
formed a praying band, at their head Mrs.
Eliza Trimble Thompson, daughter of
Governor Trimble, one of the early gov
ernors of the state, and lady of venera-
bic and attractive appearance.
On cold December day this band met
and prayed in the church, then marched to
the nearest saloon, Mrs. Thompson at their
head, and ali singing;
Far, far above thy thought
His counSels shall appear
When fully he the work hath wrought
Which caused thy needless fear.
Many stories, both ludicrous and pa
thetic, are still told of that day. ''The
saloon was full of young fellows" says one
who was there, land our crowd was at the
bar when l heard the rustic of dress, and
looking around saw an apparition-Mrs.

her face, and behind her line of women

permission; at any rate they sang:
"All hail the power of Jesus name
Let angels PROSTATE fall
and then came the praying-such pray

The system seemed to fly all over south
ern Ohio. In Il hundred towns bands of
praying and singing women were at work
within two weeks. Every great daily sent

In two months over 100 saloons had been
closed in Ohio alone and the work spread
TO adjacent states. About 800 towns in
three states were cleared of saloons.

1868. and is consequently not quite % years
of age. He lacks one inch of being 6 feet
in height, measures 4219 inches around his

early age as naturally as muskrat and

Stansburys initial victory Of note was
the Lake Bathurst handicap outrigger
race il January, 1887, when with forty
second start he defeated such old oarsmen
as Peter Kemp, Neil Matterson and Chris
topher Nielsen. During 1857 and 1855 he
defeated Robert Campbell and Julius Wulf
and several other good men, and was
worsted by Nielsen in a match for $500 a
side. On July 10, 1888, he was beaten by
two lengths in pluckily contested race
with Searle. The time was ION. 543ls.,
the best ever made over the Parramatta

In beautiful pea green boat;
They took some honey aud plenty Of money
Wrapped in five pound note.
The owl looked up 10 the stars above
And sang to a small guitar:

What beautiful pussy you are"
Pussy said to the owl: you elegant fowl
How charmingly sweet you sing,
Oh let us be married, too long we have tarried;
But what shall we do for ringi"
They sailed away for year and day,
To the land where the bong tree grows;
And there in a wood piggy wig stood,
With a ring at the end Of his nose.

So they took it away. and were married next day

They dued on mince and slices Of ounce.
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand on the edge of the sand.
