The Efficacy of Cold WATER In Cases OF

way further South when taken with ty.
phoid fever. His guard found him delirious
when waking him to continue his march.
They consigned him to the care of q farm
er's wife who looked kindly upon the suf-
ferng prisoner. She gave him a spare
room and religiously shut the windows lest
he should have draft of Heavens air and
die; she denied him the cool water Of the
well, because the country doctor said so.
The patient lay still in the midnight
hours and the kind watcher by his
bed slept the sleep of the righteous.
Awakening suddenly the nurse found
the sick bed empty The patient
had gone. Running out to the front yard
she heard spluttering noise, which she
traced to the deep, cold mountain well. Get

Yankee soldier, up to his chin in the cold
water. He had escaped while she slept and
had sought for GOODNESS and found it. 1t
took some time to rouse the sleepy negro
man, who was farm hand and general fac
totum. After an hour or moro the soldier
was rescued. He was holsted up, and, for
the first time in many hours, he was con-

many forebodings Ct death Sweet sleep
ensued, and tho next morning appetite re-
turned. A few days and strength returned.
The man was cured by Natures remedy. He
never saw Confederate prison, for the
kind woman plotted him over the mountains

An Old Lady Who Is Put to Sleep by the
Beating of IA Drum.
Among the queer people in this part of
the world, says letter from Findlay o., is
Mrs Ann Shaffer, famiiarly known as
"Aunt Ann She lives on farm with
her husband about ten miles from this city,
is over seyenty-nine years old, and in full
possession of all her faculties. Her chief
peculiarity-for she has a number--is that
she can not sleep unless her husband beats
drum in front of the house for at least an
hour; and summer and winter, night after
night, the roll of old Jacob Shaffer's drum
can be heard by the neighbors for miles
around as he leads the charge which his
wife Is making into dream and. He has
snare drum which he made for himself
during the early years Of the war, and, as
he was incapacitated from gong into the
army by reason of physical disabilities, he
did what he could for the country by
acting as the drummer for a company of
"home guards" which drilled in his neigh
borhood
1t was during this period that his wife
first developed her strange mania. Being
of highly nervous temperament. and
much wrought up over the war, sne could
not sleep at night unless her husband was
until his wife had first journeyed INTO the
realms Of slumber, he put IN the time prac-
ticing upon his drum. In this way Aunt
Ann" grew into the habit of falling asleep
to the systematic music of the drum, and
soon 1t became necessity. She could not
sleep without its solacing sound, and thus
the years have gone on, every night the
same About eight o'clock Uncle Jacob gets
out his drum and goes to work as if he
were leading charge on u battery, and
then gradually drops into slower and more
soothing music until at the end Of an hours
steady beating he feels convinced that his
wife is sound asleep. Then he puts aside
his sleep producer and joins the partner of
his joys and sorrows on her excursion into
Sunderland.
The Skaters have nice farm and are in
good circumstances, and barring this drum
popularity, are quiet people and good neigh
bors Both husband and wife belong to tho
Methodist Church.

NATIONAL FIRST, THEN IN
TERNATlONAL.

We have it at last from no less an
authority than the official organ Of the
New York Produce Exchange that
trusts exist under both free trade and
protection True, this important l.
mission is qualified by the remark that
the policy of protection often strength,
ems the trusts by shutting out foreign
supplies, and giving them costly mon
opoly of home markets. in other words,
that the policy of protection promotes
the formation of national trusts. But
it might be argued with as much force
that the policy of free trade would
necessarily induce the formation Of in.
ternatonal trusts, which in the course
Of time would control all the markets of
the world. Both positions are true in
part, and false as q whole. They are
true in what is granted on both sides
and false in the conclusion that either
of the two policies can quicken or delay
the march of the trust system, the tend
ency of which is to become interna-
tional, regardless of free trade or pro-
lection.

public burdens, Capital, to greater
extent than ever, would monopolize
what George calls, in his unscientific
Technology, natural opportunities"
Capitalists only could pay the tax; cap
italists only could build, improve and
apply the machinery by means Of which
all but capitalists are now debarred
from availing themselves Of the land and
other natural opportunities"
Ingersoll saw that long ago, and the
evolution of his sympathies is not in the
direction OF the single.tax superstition.

THE PRESS AND THE SCHOOLS
Onward for eight hours !

Our extensive report of the great
mass meeting held at the Cooper Union
last Wednesday under the auspices of
the School Conference speaks for itself
No editorial comment is necessary.
We must, however, observe that the
New York press, which advertised so
extensively the Worlds Fair meeting.
had little or nothing to say of the de-
monstration in favor of the schools either
before or after it took place,
In one case there is, most plainly, a
conspiracy of silence; in the other a
simultaneity of outburst Why?
This enterprising press of ours tells us
every day that the prime mover of on
terprise is self-interest. We may not be
unfair, then-indeed, we must be quite
right--if we seek in its own splGshness
the motive of Its different behavior in
two matters of at least equal public
interest.
Now mark this. A Worlds Fair in
New York would largely increase the
sale of our great metropolitan dailies
and fill their columns with advertise.
ments, whereas school houses and com
pulsory education would deprive them
of their n9wsboys.
But the School Conference will not
and shall not be silenced. 1t is composed
Of men and women who can fight ignor-
ance and the newspapers combined, 1t
will hold other meetings, bigger than
the first, and i'll all parts of the city f.
1t will, if necess AIRY, have its own press.
In the meantime ten thousand copies
of its startling report are being printed,
and d committee has been appointed to
devise means of agitation upon a scale
far more startling even than its report.

CHILD INSURANCE.

That is startling statement made by
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children in New York-that the
system of securing assurances on the
lives of children is powerful tempta-
ton to depraved parents to maltreat
their offspring, in the hope that they
may die and thus become a source of
profit.
1t is alleged that there are hundreds Of
thousands of children in this State who
have what is known as a burial insur-
anCe" upon their lives, and the society
claims that in three. fOurths of the cases
of neglect and inhuman treatment of
children that it attends to in year, the
guardians, parents or step parents of the
children have insurance on the children's
lives.
Most people will be unwilling to draw
the inference which the society seems
inclined to draw from these facts. We
must maintain faith in human nature,
even though there are exceptional cases
of depravity Morning Journal
This monstrous speculation on the
lives of infants by IT, ir own parents
and the resulting infanticides are by no
means a new feature of our "civiliza-
ton. Such a condition of affairs has
long prevailed in the manufacturing
districts of England, and a few years
ago some terrible revelations of the
same character cast deserved Odium
upon our own State of Pennsylvania.
Nor is it true, as the Journal intimates,
that the cause of it is to be found in the
natural depravity" of some" human
faced devils. Nature never made human
monsters in such numbers. The deviitry
of our social system-poverty and ignor-
ance worse in the midst of our civiliza-
ton than in savagery-can alone trans
form fathers and mothers into blacker
devils than cannibals.

GROWTH OF INVENTION.

Statistics lately collected by an Eng.
lish specialist illustrate most st1kingly
the development of mechanical applian-
ces and other improvements in the
methods of production, by showing the
number of patents applied for and
granted in the manufacturing countries
during the last twenty-five years, The
United States heads the list with 80, 797
applications and &c, sos grants in 1883, as
against $685. applications and 5,025
grants in 1864. Great Britain comes
second with a proportionate advance
from 2,024 grants in 1864 to 9,4l0 in 1888.
France ranks third with $500 patents
granted in 1888; but the advance in
that country has been comparatively
small, for in 1864 she stood ahead of
both Great Britain and the United States
with 5, 653 patents to her credit. At that
time the French engineers we've cover.
ing Europe with works and industries,
and their activity extended to other
continents. Since then their energies
were largely diverted from industrial to
military fields, and this of itself would
account for the slower rate of inventive
progress in France than in the United
States and in England. But if we con-
slider, in addition, the Inducements
offered to inventive exertion by the vast
territories, increasing populations and
unlimited resources at the command of
the latter countries, we cah only wonder
that France is not more greatly distanced
than appears from the aforesaid figures.
A remarkable fact is that little Bel
GUM is in advance of the whole German
Empire to considerable extent. In
1883 there were 4,770 patents granted in
Belgium, as against 1898 in Germany.
What a comment this is upon the blood
and iron policy of the grim Chancellor
We have, of course, no means of
ascertaining the reward of inventors for
their intellectual activity. That they
are revolutionizing the world, we know.
That they are multiplying the means of
producing wealth far more rapidly than
the capitalists who finally get the control
of inventions are multiply ing wealth, we
