JACK FROST AS A eERMIcIDE.

Extract From n Lecture by DIR. j. H. Kel-
logg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
There are great many people who
say that the weather does not affect
them at all, but the weather does affect
everybody. 1t was reported some years
ago that a man in Philadelphia was so
sensitive to the weather that he could
tell with accuracy every time there
was storm at the gulf of Mexico. Be
that as it may, the weather affects us
all. When the barometer goes up our
spirits go up, and when the barometer
goes down our spirits go down.
When the barometer is high we
get more oxygen and the vital
fires burn brighter, and when the ba-
rometer is low the reverse is true. 1t
is no wonder that a person subject to
rheumatism or neuralgia feels these
changes in the weather with particular
force. When the barometer rises the
skin does more work, and when the ba-
rometer falls the skin does less work.
When the skin does less work, the kid
neys, liver and other eXcretory organs
have to do more work.
But the changes in the weather are ex-
actly what we need as stimulants to the
system, and the reason why people who
live in tropical climates lack in vigor
and wilt down quickly under diseases,
is that they have none of the bracing
effects which come from changes of
temperature. A dead level of temper
AZURE results in feebleness and physical
weakness while changing temperatures
tone up the system and give vigor. They
may be called a species of physical
gymnastics. 1t is exactly like living a
sedentary life to live in q climate in
which there is no change.
Jack Frost is the best friend we have
He kills off myriads and myriads of
germs which otherwise would produce
epidemics of disease, and the alternate
freezing and thawing of spring and fall,
have the same effect upon certain dis
ease germs, typhoid fever germs for in
stance, as it would have upon a field
of corn after it had sprouted. Germs
that will stand either a great deal of
cold or a great deal of heat, are killed
by a sudden cold snap, after they
have been started into life by
a few days of warm weather,
just in the same way that field of
| corn a few inches high would be cut
down, whereas the seed corn itself be-
fore the termination would stand a
great deal of cold without injury, and
also quite a high degree of heat. The
alterations then of heat and cold in
the springtime and fall are particularly
| beneficent in their influence upon life
and health. If people were not so care
full to preserve typhoid fever germs in
cesspools and wells this disease would
be entirely exterminated by the action
| of changes of the weather upon it's
germs. Considering these things then
we ought not to find so much fault
with the weather nor be so much dis
contented with it's changes.-Reported
by Helen L. Manning.

THE report that General Sherman in
any way resembled General Grant in
money matters is highly erroneous.
General Sherman was never known to
engage in doubtful speculative schemes,
nor did he ever squander money. 1t
was the effort of his later years to accu-
mulate enough by saving to keep his
widow and daughters after his death
without 'having the hat passed
around" as one of his friends expresses
it in quoting him. He was SO far from
resembling General Grant in this re-
spect that he practiced habitual self
denial, and was even suspected of undue
parsimony by some who did not realize
the motive of his efforts to leave his
family in comfort without engaging in
enterprises which might possibly bring
discredit on the name he left them. And
his wishes ought to be respected. The
hat ought not to be passed around in
the case of his family because the
Grant family have indorsed the prece-
dent.

contrary, runs about seeking the man,

growing ashamed of his handkerchief

tranquil. There is nothing so dreadful
in .the mere word ''discharged;" it is
frequently a more honest word than

Secretary Fosters Plan for DeferrinG the
Redemption of Bonds.

Redemption of Bonds.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Secretary Fos-
ter's plan of deferring the redemption of
1-2 per cent. bonds at the date of ma
turity September l, meets with favor in
financial circles, many of the most promi-
nent financiers and capitalists of the
country having indicated by letter and in
personal interviews with the secretary
their approval of his scheme.
This plan carries with it the redemp-
ton of these bonds, at the pleasure of the
Government after proper notice, and I'M
til they are thus called in they are to
draw 2 per cent. interest after Septem-
Der l.
The amount Of 1-2 bonds unredeemed
is about $43, 10000 OF these about $780,
000,0 900 are held by National banks to Sc
cure the deposits of Government money,
81, 726, 900 are held by foreign holders and
about $11 500, 900 are held by private par
ties, mostly banks and security companies
in trust for estates, etc.
Advices received at the Treasury Depart
ment indicate that perhaps three fourths
of the present holders of the 1-2 per
cent. bonds are DESTROYS of retaining their
bonds. BY law 1t requires three months
notice to the holders of these bonds of the
secretary's intention in regard to them.
A circular setting forth the secretary's
proposition will be framed shortly, follow
ing in It's general outline the circular
issued by Secretary Window April u,
1881. He extended the payment at the
option of the government of $195, SOC, 400
six per cent. bonds.

THE SAYWARD CASE
Practically Abandoned by the
English Government.
THE HEARING AGAIN POSTPONED
Lord Salisbury Will Seek to Settle the
Contest by Arbitration.

Secretary Fosters Plan to Stop Bond Re-
Financiers and Capitalists-Nlajor Nc
Kinley Recovering from His Illness
The Big Race Meeting.
WASHINGTON, April 27-The postpone.
ment until October Is of the hearing in
the Behring Sea fisheries test case is very
generally believed to mean a practical
abandonment by the British government
of the contest It has been making in the
United States Supreme Court. Nearly
six months will elapse before the time
fixed upon for the resumption of the ar
gument arrives. Meantime it is pre-
sumed that Lord Salisbury will seek to
secure by arbitration what he has thus
far failed to realize by diplomatic and
court bluffs. By competent judges here
Attorney General Miller's brief is regarded
unanswerable.
The points he makes will stand as a
summary of the position assumed by the
United States government almost from
the beginning of the controversy, and
from this neither the President or Secre-
tary Blairs are disposed to retreat. The
Acknowledgement briefly claims that tn g
United States Supreme Court cannot ex-
anime evidence heard by the Alaskan
court. Evidence in the trial court show
ed that seals were seized by the Sayward
within the three-mile limit, and there
fore she deserved the punishment dealt
by the United States government. The
claim that the United States has territor-
hal jurisdiction over Behring Sea waters
for at least 100 miles from the Alaskan
shore II emphasized, while the Attorney
General drives home the issue that the
place Of seizure and seal taking was in
the territorial jurisdiction Of the United
States, and therefore of the Alaskan
c0urt

tariff law, under the resolution adopted
by the senate at the last session, Sena-

begins work next week, and it is already
apparent that an attempt is to be made

MARSHAL Won MoLTKE, whose death
we chronicled Saturday, was regarded
by common consent as the foremost
soldier in Europe and the greatest
strategist of the age. But his laurels
came to him very late in life. Born in
1900, and in service under one flag or
another from his youth up, he had
reached his Goth year before the over
throw of Austria in the marvellous
seven weeks war brought him the fame
which ripened five years later in the
capture of Paris and the demolition of
the French empire. After these great
achievements the marshal held so high
a place in public estimation that the
world may well be excused for for
getting how little it knew of him till he
was twenty years older than Napoleon
was at Waterloo. His ability up to that
time was SO nadequately recognized
that many military critics rated him as
inferior to Gen Benedek, the COM
mander of the Austrian forces, and
actually expected that the encounter at
Koniggratz would result in Won Moltke's
defeat.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

One American manufacturer shipA
one thousand lumber wagons to South
America every year, and yet the natives
come into cities like Buenos Ayres with
carts of the same style and make as
were used one thousand years ago. It
takes one yoke of oxen to draw even an
empty cart, but the people don't care to
experiment.
On the accession of new emperor
of China, he goes in solemn state to the
Temple of Heaven in Pekin and formal
ly announces to his imperial predeces-
sors the new titles and dignities which
he has assumed. These ancestors are
then dutifully invited to the banquet of
commemoration, where seats are duly re-
served for them.
AT Vienna the typhoid mortality
was 200 per 100, 900 while the inhabitants
drank surface, hence often polluted,
water, but this mortality fell to 10 per
100000 on thoroughly good supply
being obtained. At Amiens, among the
military population, the typhoid NOR
tality fell from Ill per 10, 900 to when
pure supply of water was secured by
artesian wells. At Rennes the inhab-
itants formerly drank from contami-
mated wells, with the result that ty-
phoid fever was always endemic. The
introduction of pure water reduced the
deaths from typhoid among the military
population from As per 10, 900 to 2.
