Koch's Lymph III Louisville.

lI.oul>!lIlc Io>t.]
The arrival iii the city of Il small guam
titv of the celebrated koch's lymph seems
to be the all ab>orbin. topic of converse
ton among the physicians, most OF whom
have been anxiously awaiting the precious
fluid. The conSumptivcs, who since the
great German physician and scientist pro-
claimed TO the world his discovery have
been filled with hope OF obtaining new
lease ON life, are interested even more
deeply than the doctors and arc bcscglng
the hospital and college authorities with
requests for inocculation. While most of
tn physicians regard the Koch discovery
with much favor, a few, who style them
solves conservatives and who in the par
lance OF their more sangnlnc conl@rcs are
croakcrS. have taken absolutely 40 stock
in thc rcputcd consumption cure and arc
predicting IN unqualified failure in the
near future of DR.. koci,'s pet remedy. All
the physicians agree that the lymph, when
used by burglars, is more deadly than the
most potent drug. Notwithstanding the
great danger connected with the use OF
the lymph, there are hundreds Of victims
OF tuberculosis in .hs vicinity who are
anxious to have the rank poison resulting
from Il double culture of the tubcrculal
bacili infused into their impoverished

After man is shot in battle, between

a remarkable instance may be found
IN the case OF Capt Nolan. of Halaklayia
Nolan assumed to guide the light brigade
in the charge and with frantic cxciama-
ton and gesture with his upliltcd sword
he rode to the right obliquc in order to
draw the six hundred ont Of the Valley Of
Death, which lay directly in their course,
toward the line Of rcdoubS which thcy
had been ordered TO attack and where
victory and not disaster doubtless awaited
them. When he was 4 few PAGES to the
right of the leading ranks piece OF shell
struck him in the chest, tearing into the
heart

and began To @alop back upon the front
OF the advancing brigade. Then, from

There arc a good many people who do
not know why it is that the BARRIERS signs
are always alike. viz: a white pole strip

or Il bath tub fastened TO the top Of them.
The origin of this sign WAS rs follows:
Many wears ago the barber was The only

curing all diseases was blood letting. The
blood WAS always drawn from the arm

In 1880 the rate on tilSt-cla frcigh:
from Chicago TO Fort Dodge was % cents
now il is 10 cents. We should explain
that 10 cents was the rate in force until a
few weeks age. At present. however, this
rate is cut. but it will probably be restored
to somewhere near the old figure before

CONCLUSION
This closes the comparison OF prices or
What the farmer, mechanic and lahorcr
has to bny. 1t is beyond dispute that Gle
development Of the age has accomplished
4 large reduction in all manufactured ar
'iclcs. Now, unless there has been cor
responding reduction in the products Of
the farm and in the wages ofthe mechanic
aTd the laborcr. we have established cui-
claim that never in the history OF the l,u-
man race would day labor hny so many
comforts as to-day. We clip from tic
Messenger the following report of the
prices of agricultural products in 1850
and 1850.
The Big Stone post. (Big Stone Gap, Va.) 1890-1892, 1891-02-06
There was no market for w!icl! in 1891

There was no market for wheat in 1890,
as the farmers iii this locality have ahan-
doncd growing ii entirely. and now grow
coru, oat>, hogs and cattle instead
We submit to the candid farmer
whether, with his hountiul yield of last
wear, and his implements, barb wire and
supplies of all kinds reduced as above, he
is not in better relations with the world
now than in April, 1850, with prices OH
produce as above aud his supplies at the
old figure
And now what about lhc mechanic ana
laborin@ man? Is i, not fact. undis-
putcd. that labor OF every kind is rs well
paid now rs in 1880: As a rnlc in The
cities labor is constantly fighting for Il
5ctiermcnt gifts condition and constantly
gaining either an increase of wages or
shorter hours American workingmcn
wcrc never more alert to their interests
than they are to-day, and their movement
for less hours Of labor and better pay
never has commanded the interest and
the sympathy that ii commands to-day.
They were never 80 intelligent as they are
TODAY, and that means both that they de-
serve more and that they know how to get
more. The workin"man is winning on
both sides of the question, more hours to
himself and better wages on one side and
cheaper living on the other side. 1t is
doubly false, then, TO assert that the de-
vclopmcnt OF the age is not bcnctting the
Wurkingman.
