Jones'" He confessed himself guilty
of running a bogus establishment and
was arrested. There was no more
legitimate basis for bis enterprise than
there is for lottery, and
yet thousands of people were ready to
invest in it who would feel insulted il
saked to buy a lottery ticket. They
were fascinated by a circular which
simply tread we'll" just as the rec

A Method of Treating Disease.
Hospital Remedies.

What are they? Tere is a new depart.
ure in the treatment of disease. 1t consists
in the collection of the specifics used by
Noted specialists of Europe and America,
and bringing them within the reach of all.
For instance the treatment pursued by spe.
cial physicians who treat Indigestion
stomsch and liver troubles only, was OBJ
tanned and prepared. The treatment OF
other physicians, celebrated for curing
catarrh was procured, and so on till these
incompatible cures now include disease of
the lungs, kidneys, female weakness, rheu.
matism and nervous debility.
This new method of zone remedy for one
disease" must appeal to the common sense
of all sufferers, many of whom have expe-
rienced the ill effects, and thoroughly real
ize the adsurdity of the claims of Patent
Medicines which are guaranteed to cure
every i'll out of single bottle, and the use
of which as statistics prove, has ruined
more stomachs than alcohol. A circular de.
scribing these new remedies is sent free on
receipt of stamp to pay postage by Hospital
Remedy Company, Toronto, Canada, sole
proprietors.

A disgruntled Ohio Republican
says the Democrats are better of
than if they had elected Cleveland.
In his opinion Harrison is doing more
to build up the Democratic party and
to assure its permanent control OF
National affairs in the future than
Cleveland could have done if he had
been President. While this individ.
ual opinion is probably founded upon
r---nnal disappointment and the re.
suitant sOurness vf tAnner which
arises in man when he wants
office and can't get it, still there is a
good deal of sound philosophy in it.
President Harrison's mistake is sup
posing himself an Andrew jackson,
The latter could rule and hold his
party together, but Harrison is max
ing a miserable failure of the dictator
role. That disgruntled Ohio Repub.
ican is probably right wheu he says
tho Inanncrats will ha tho -aol
benefciaries of the Harrison Admins
tration.

Munsey's Weekly: What thi:
country needs more than anything
else, just once year, is misht Christ

An enterprising gentleman has al
ready started an establishment where
one can dispose of duplicate wedding
presents, but person gets married
once only in bis life, while he or she, a:
the case or sex may be, eDdures many
Christmases.
How sweet and pleasant it would
be, for instance, if a young and pretty
clergyman who has been remembered
by seventeen or two dozen Of the eve
lambs IF his congregation with pair
of slippers from each, could trade of
most of them for, say, a meerchaum
pipe or some perpendicular linen col
lars.
Until such an exchange begins
to fill a long felt want, the daily pa
pers could help on the gooi work by
permitting their patrons to insert free
such advertisements as the following,
at holiday time:
GA boy of II wishes to exchange a
new copy of 'Josephus.' handsomely

The man who a few days ago sent
out from New York City a circular
headed National Bargain EN-.
porium" thought it was safe to test
again the strange fascination letter
head has over many people. His
circulars were accordingly prepared
a the best style of the printers art.
They showed that the company was a
large one, that the inducements 1T
offered were exceptional and that its
references were of the highest charac-
ter. 1t had special arrangements for
purchasing goods below market rates,
and these advantages, with a most
unbusiness-like disinterestedness, it
offered to share with its customers.
Baited in this way the circular was
spread broadcast, and the returns
quickly proved that the protector
was not mistaken when he decided
to make one more draft upon the
almost ineXhaustible reservoir of
human credulity. He found there
were plenty of women eager to get
ssblack gros grained silk, 81 inches
vide, and worth $1.25 a yard, for 30
cents yard; fine English cashmere
dress goods, double width, worth 40
cents, for Is cents yard, and extra
fine bleached muslin. warranted with
out blemish, worth 10 cents. for 4
cents assyard." The feminine anxiety
to purchase dry goods at halt price
was undiminished, and the National
Bargain Emporium" profted by the
fact. How many dupes the protector
ofthis enterprise obtained will probably
never be known. The former are never
anxious in such cases to admit that
they were victimized and the latter is
not compelled to criminate himself.
But one day the police descended on
the Emporium and. instead of the
esive-story building" where slow cut
prices were given by firm which
was using all its 'energy and business
tact" to serve its customers, they
found q front attic, a small
stove, a wooden chair, a pine table
and lots of letter-heads and stationery,
presided over by a smooth-shaven
man, who gave his name as "John

In nIohammedan Land.

Though the walls of NicRa are imposing,
and the remains Of the Greek theatre massive
and unique in that department, we could not
help feeling more impressed st first with the
Mohammedan relics that We saw. The green
mosque of Nicea is one Of the pret1eSt IN
Islam, and was built, as an inscription over
the porch told Us, by a general Of Sultan
Murad, the capturer Of Salonica, as an expi-
alton for the sin of not visiting Mecca once
in his life, because the exigencieS Of public
affairs prevented him.
1t was erected in 1878: its architecture is
Saracenic, and the minaret, incrusted with
blue and red tiles, is infinitely superior to
anything of the kind in ConStantinople. Close
to it is the fast decaying imaret, or almShouse,
where soup and pilaff were once distributed
to the poor-a building Of excessive beauty
IN its decay, its crumbling walls and domes
having taken nearly all the colors OF the rain
bow.
One Of our party sat sketching here, and q
dervish who was contemplating the operation
with undiSguisod disgust, not knowing that
he was understood, was heard to say, ''See,

that when We have to give it up they may
know the exact number" / myself got into

An Able New Potato,

At meeting of the Paris Academy OF
Sciences NJ. Anne Girard gave some interest
ing information respecting the Emperor, or
Richters Imperator, potato De stated that,
after testing it Oh a small scale for some
years, he grew it largely in 1855 and 1889, and
also gave out tubers Tor experiment to forty
growers in different parts of France. 1t APP
peared that, while the average yield of tubers
in France does not exceed $500 kilogrammes
Say 147 hundredw weight to the hectare, a
hectare being "a acres, the variety known
as the Imperator may, under certain condi-
tions, yield as much as eco to 10000 kilo-
grammes per hectare of tubers, with more
than 20 per cent. of dry starch.
These figures were quite borne out by NJ.
Girards own experience, his crop Of 1889
yielding $4,000 kilogrammes of tubers per
hectare, with 20 per cent. Of starch, equal
TO 1856 kilogrammes of dry starch, which is
more than the general average weight Of
tubers themselves il France. In thirty-three
out of forty experimental cases throughout
the country the general result was a yield
ranging from 81, GOO to $4,000 kiIogrammes
per hectare, with proportion Of 20.s to 24.2
per cent of dry starch, the average yield
being $1,000 kilocrammes per hectare and
Z. 900 knogrammes Vt dry starch.-London

of the grammar schools about mile sway.
For this purpose she chose one Of her bright
scholars and dispatched him with note di-
rected to the young lady. When the mesSen-
ger arrived at his destination the teacher
CHANGED to be Illustrating some lesson to her
pupils at the blackboard She therefore sent
word to the boy to take a chair. When at
leisure she summoned the boy, who. was sup
posed to be seated in the corridor, but he had
disappeared. The young lady was nonplused,
but the mystery was solved when, some time
later, the boy returned bearing with him the
chair which had been given him to sit upon.
lie had accepted the invitation Ito take a
chair" and had carted it upon his shoulders
back to the school he came from. The teacher,
after she had recovered from the shock Of
seeing him drag the strange chair up to her
and deposit it by her side with a conscious air
of duty well performed, had sent him back
with it. He was pretty well tired out when
he returned, and his only explanation was a

Musical Kites,

Musical kites are provided with a bamboo
resonator containing three apertures, one In
the center and one ct each extremity. When
the Kite is flying the air, in rushing into the
resonator, produces e somewhat intense and
plaintive sound, which can be heard at great
distance. The transverse rods of the frame
of this kite are connected at the extremities,
and give the kite the aspect Of two birds
wings affixed to a central axis.
This kite sometimes reaches large dimen-
sions-say, ten feet in width. There are
often three or four resonators, placed one
above another over the kite, and in this case
a very pronounced, grave sound is produced.
The musical kite is very common in China
and Tonquin; hundreds Of them are some
times seen lowering in the air in the vicinity
Of Hanoi. 1t is believed among the supersti-
tious TO have the power of charming evil
spirits away, and with this object it is often
tied to the roofs Of houses during the preva-
lence Of winds, where, during the whole
night, it enits plaintive murmurs after the
manner of an Aolian harp.-New York
