A LOOK FOR RID.

Looking backward has been very popular lately, but there are some looks forward that are rather interesting. The Hospital takes @ look forward and sees what may happen when all the microbes have been pursued to their lairs. Whom that time comes the chil- dren will not run through the present gamut of infantile disease, but they will probably be subjected to inoculation with various mi crobes every few months. First they will be vaccinated for smallpox. When they have recovered from that they will be taken to a Pasteur institute to have a mild form of rabies. Next they will be given dose of the comma bacilh to prevent cholera, and soon through all the ever-growing series of disease microbes. Thus does the Hospital go on: Ohl luoklsss child of the futurel You will never be i'll and never be we'll; your health will be swfully monetonous; you will never know the weariness of the first night of measles, when 1t was so nice to lie in moth- CTS lap and feel her cool hand on your fore. head; you will never know the joys of con- valescence, when oranges were numerous and everyone was kind to you because you were not we'll, and your end will be to die of de. bility. How glad we are that we live in the present, with all it's ups and downs of health to lend variety to life and death.

ran away from the university. Joining a band of strolling musicians, he wandered for several years through the Spanish provinces, breaking many a fair lady's heart, and hav- peasant girl of Aranjuez. His friends final- 1y found him and secured him government position in the postal department at Madrid. But he deserted this. Then he wrote poems which were gladly printed, but would not sell. Soon he sang in opera; but fame was too great lsggard. Then he publicly an- nounced that he would become the most fa- nous bull fighter of Spain. Spain laughed at him. That alone gave him note. Then he gave the Spanish people this saying: 'sNot king, but g tenor or g bull fighter only, can enslaye Spainl" He is still young. He is always gentleman. He has already amassed wealth and is the only rival of the peerless espada, Francisco Sanchez, in the affections of the people of Spain.

SOME IMPRESSIVE FACTS.

SOME IMPRESSIVE FACTS.
 The free traders are fond of telling how the manufacturing industries of New Eng land have been hurt by protection, but there are some facts which they will find it hard to explain away. For instance. in 1865 there were 265, 1928 spindles in the Fall River cot- ton mills. In 1889 there were 9, ,12s, ,2ss. Every year but one since 1865 has been an increase in the number and the 25,OOO lost in that year,-18s4, were recovered in 1885 and nearly thirty thousand more. added. Another fact in connection with cotton mills and cotton goods Is of especial inter- est. Sinne the close of the war the prices of print cloths have steadily gone down. They long ago reached degree of acheappes equal to anything known before the war, and are now still lower. The very lowest price touched for print cloths up to 1859 was four cents and . quarter per yard; the very high est price which has been brought by print cloth since 1881 has been four cents and @ sixteenth per yard, and the price, has fallen as low as two cents and niuety-eight one hundredths. ss:
 This seems to be one of the results of 'sa war tariff" and very cheerful one 1t Is, too.

NOT ALL nam AGES.

Tie decision concerning elevated railroads which has just been rendered by the New York court of appeals is more equitable than some of the decisions concerning them have been. The general rule of law has been that, where land or other property is actually taken for railroad purposes, the real damage from the taking must be paid, no allowance being made for any benefits which may have accrued. The decision does not affect this, but touches . question of even greater interest. A lessee of property at the corner of Rector and Greenwich streets sued the Manhattan company for damage to him by a deprivation of light and air. In tho lower court he was awarded damages to the amount of about $10, 900, he having had lease for fifteen years at $7O0 year. The lower court ruled that the company could not offset the claim for damages by showing that the plain tiff had been benefited by the road. The company carried the question to the highest court in New York, which has reversed the decision of the lower court, and holds that the company is entitled to show that the damages have been wholly or in part offset by advantages for which bsttsrments should be allowed.
 This is fair. The elevated railroads in New York have greatly helped some property along their lines.

 in that direction. Field, in long editorial,
 condemns the scheme, declaring that the side saddle Is better seat for the woman than the cross saddle, safer and more com-

 A prelate in attendance on the Pope writes: The Pope is looking extremely well, has quite lost his cough, and has received a great many people this week. At the very hour the Roman papers were informing their readers that his Holiness was at his last gasp, he was seated in my presence tak- ing basin of broth and drinking his usual small glass of native wine. Prince Bonoom- pagni was with us, and the Pontiff. who had been talking with great earnestness and regret over the illness of the Duke of Aosta, suddenly rose from his chair and looking out of the window toward the Quirinal, said: King" He had barely uttered these words when telegram was put into his hand. It was from the Duchess, of Aosts, imploring his benediction forthe dying Prince.

An Indian Messiah.

Gen. Ruger Of the department of
Dakota U. S. A, received letter
from Major Carroll, Fort Custer,
Mont, stating that the Indians of
the Tongue river agency were great
ly excited over the expected APP
pearance of the Savior. This is Pc
culiar case and presents many
strange and interesting features.
Accounts that can be gathered of
this coming Of an Indian Christ
are very fragmentary, but the be-
lief is thoroughly grounded in the
minds of the Indians, and under
the leadership of their medicine
men, they have worked quite a reli-
gious revival and are confidently
waiting the appearance of their Saw
ior. Some time ago an Indian in
terpreter at the Cheyenne and Ara
pahoe agency, in the Indian terri
tory, wrote personal letter to the
interpreter at the Tongue river
agency stating that the Cheyennes
and Arlpahoes there are greatly
excited about Christ's coming
among some of the northern tribes
of Indians. The Arapahoes have
been getting letters from the North
ern Arapahoes in regard to it.

The Under Current.

Says the Phoenix Herald The
body Of water that underlies this
valley at the depth of about twenty
five feet in a layer of cobble stones
. and coarsa.gravel is amazing. The
Phoenix Water Works Company on
Wednesday began the operation of
sinking the huge well at the pump
station, and when, by the use of Il
pump lifting 2,20O gallons of water
per minute, the bottom was reached
the inflow of water from the gravel
layer was like a torrent pouring in
to the we'll from all sides. 1t was
found that the pump continued to
lift 1900 gallons per minute, or
about 349,S75 cubic inches per
minute. By-lowering the well, it is
expected to cut additional layers of
waterbearing gravel and increase
the capacity of the we'll large
ly. The water is perfectly pure,
limpid and soft as the finest spring
water; the supply is apparently
inexhaustable for this layer of wa
ter-bearing gravel, some five or six
feet in thickness, is found in all
parts of the valley where wells have
been sunk, and always permeated
by the fine water found in the well
at the water works. Apropos of
this increase of the capacity of the
we'll the company will raise the
tower fifty feet.

Had a Gem in His Arm.

"There's the most beautiful dia-
f-ond I have ever seen during my
,set ). ti,i..J y....s Nth the
sparkling gems" said a Western
diamond merchant to an Inquirer
man as he held up a stone that
seemed to live in fire. 1t was easily
worth $4,000.
"That stone has a tragic history"
continued the man of jewels. 'It
comes from the De Beers mine in
South Africa, and was discovered
by a coolie employed by the COM
pany. His practiced eye saw that
the gem was a marvellous one for
beauty of color, and a desire to
steal it overcame him. Well, he did
steal it, and to conceal the diamond
about his person-for the coolies
work almost naked in the diamond
mines-cut hole in the flesh un-
der the arm. But the wound did
not heal, and the observant eye of
the foreman saw what was the mat
ter. A few days after he charged
the coolie with having stolen a dia-
mond, but the man denied it.
when Jack, the foreman, reach
ed for his sore arm the thief made
a dash and ran toward the out
skirts of the camp like a deer. The
foreman followed him. He knew
that a severe punishment awaited
him if captured, and he centered all
Hs efforts on getting away with the
stone, whose value would have made
him rich for life. But Jack was
equal to the emergency, and draw
ing his pistol he shot the coolie
through the back just as he was
taking to the hills. His dead body
was dragged back into camp, his
arm cut open and the beautiful gem
in the rough was taken from the in
cision. ."-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Pool Played by a Cat.

The Kadel Brothers, proprietors
of the Star Hotel in Port Jervis,
n. Y, have a remarkable cat. This
Icat is not only a good all-round
gymnast and acrobat, but he has
developed striking sporting procliv-
tiles. He is good for standing
high jump of six feet at any time,
and q leap of twelve feet from
dead rest he accomplishes with
ease. He can turn somersaults,
stand on his head, walk on his
hands, so to speak, and do various
acts of contortions. The accom-
plishment most admired in this
wonderful cat, however, is his abil-
ity to play pool. He is extremely
fond of pool, and will sit by the
hour and watch the players if the
game is a good one, but will leave
the table with a meow of disgust if
he finds the game a poor one. The
moment pool is called this cat will
go to the winner and rub against
his leg and purr congratulations.
This generally means glass of beer
for him. which he will lap in gen.
uine enjoyment. When thekaol

mounts it and has fun with the
