PHYSICIANS

A contributor, who has probably
sends the following to the HERALD:
. There are all kinds of physicians in
this world. Some are good, educated,
others are bad, Indifferent and I'M
educated.
"There are others who are old
women to gossip, and some are scan
dalmongers. They carry from house
to house what they hear, and a great
deal that they manufacture and never
hear, except when they speak it them
selves.
When a man hangs out his shingle
he has taken upon himself great re-
sponsibility, and the community look
upon him as an honest and good man.
When we send for physician to the
bedside Of our loved ones, we expect
that he can render some service and
is, at least. able to diagnose the case.
But we often find that he knows
nothing of the case, but commences
to practice to see what effect differ
ent medicine will have.
There are a great many hearts that
ache today, throughout this country,
caused by the ignorance and stupidity
of some physician. In great many
cases, disease and death has been car
ried into families on account of stupid
doctors, and there is no reason in the
world why this should ever be the
case. We expect assistance from ply
scianS, and not sorrow and trouble.
In many instances members of the
medical profession do not keep abreast
of the times and are not given to
study, and to all such we would say,
you had better take down your sign
and 90 at some other means of liveli.
hood, safer to the sick and more con.
genial to your tastes and abilities, anC
the sooner the better. We need good
honest, conscientious and educated
doctors, but not quacks."

How to Mend Granite Wear.

The exact medus operandi is this: If the
hole to be stopped is not large enough for the
wire or rivet to be inserted it must be en-
larged. This can be done with a file. Put
the rivet through the hole from the inside
of the kettle If too long it can be cut off
with a chise1 or pair Of pincers. The
rivet or wire should be long enough to go
through the hole and come just beyond it.
When inserted, place an iron under it, and
pound down lightly with the hammer until
it is "riveted." 1t is no hard matter, and
the mending really takes less time than it
has taken me to describe the method.
81 supposed" says the correspondent Of
The Housekeepers' Weekly, who recon-
mends the foregoing, that the pounding
down would be heroic, but l was surprised
to find how lightly this could be done"

The washers of nice lace form a class Of
labor quite by themselves, and few people
have an idea of the amount of labor in
voved in the cleansing operation and of
the skill and knowledge required. The up

simple thing in comparison. A table is
cushioned and covered closely with a spot
less cloth, and on this the lace is stretched
with an intricate care that is amazing
Through every mesh pin is placed to hold
it in place, and the whole pattern is thus
pricked out till every leaf and sprig is firmly
fastened, so that it cannot shrivel or con-

up in preparing a single yard of the lace,

LAWYERS

Webster said there was room at
the top of the ladder" when asked his
opinion about a chance and room at
bar; and he said wisely, for it applies
not only to the legal, but to every pro-
fession.
The difficulty with a great many
lawyers today is they imagine there is
no room at the top and are content to
remain at bottom constantly gaz-
ing upward. A great many lawyers,
after practicing for years, wonder
why they do not better succeed. The
cause is very simple one. They do
not apply themselves; and often when
they do find business, they want all
there is in it without leaving anything
for the client.
There are too many in the profession
who should be at other things. The
attractions Of the political arena
allure many into the profession of the
law.
Fut the people are somewhat in

DEATH OF ALBERT PIKE

General Albert Pike died last We'd
nesday evening in Washington city.
His patriarchal face and figure were
well known in the capital and many
other parts of the country; his fame
was international, especially as a poet
and Free Mason. He was one of the
greatest Masons that ever lived, and
much OF his literary work was devoted
to that ancient order.
Albert Pixies life was a poem and a
romance. When a very young man,
and when some Of the most populOus
of the states were almost UNEMPLOYED
regions he had adventures in the far
west and south, in New Mexico, Texas
and Arkansas. He was a school
teacher in Arkansas as early as 1888.
and editor Of an Arkansas newspaper
a year later. He was an officer in the
Mexican war and participated in the
battle Of Buena Vista. He was brig
adier-general in the Confederate army,
and was afterward editor of a Mem
phis newspaper and then a lawyer in
Washington City. His biography, a
sketch of which is printed elsewhere
in these columns this morning, will be
exceedingly interesting reading to
those who are fond of following the
lives of remarkable men; men of gem
ius in literature and in war.
Free Masonry has lost one of its
great shining lights in the death Of
Albert Pike. Literature loses one
who has ornamented its shining field.
The order Of grand and noble gentle
men has great gap in its ranks. He
will be close to the Throne in the king
dom Of the Mysterious Hereafter.

There is u fashion now of having chintz
or printed satin quilts for throwing over
the bed, the patterns being revival OF
those Of Queen Anne's time, and very
quaint and pretty. They are made with a
deep bordering of lace. Fine old lace is
turned to this purpose, and linen embroid-
cred all over in fantastic and conventional
designs; but the fashion of the season is
rather for satin trimmed with lace.
In muslin curtains for the coming sea-
son the hem stitch will be considerably
narrower, the styles changing in these
goods as they do in handkerchef5.
Five O'Clock tea cloths are as elaborate
as they can be. They are of the finest lin
en-, ornamented with exquisite stitchery,
and the edges are drawn into lacelike pat
terms and bordered with costly lace. The
embroidery is sometimes done in pale blue
or pink. The newest and daintiest MKT
ure, however, is white and gold.
A handsome cot cover recently seen was
of white wooden cloth embroidered with
field fowers-forget-m -nots, daisies and
the like-and bordered with ball fringe.
A pretty pin cushion of lowered white
satin is of large square shape. 1t is fur
nished with two full pockets for holding
trinkets or buttons and on the other sides
are laid, in half handkerchief shape, folds
of white velvet, through which are run the
button hook, scissors, or any little article
needed for the toilet.

most intelligent Republicans of
the country believe that the re-
auctions in tariff duties by the Nc
Kinley act were Insignificant in num-
Der and amount, and that the measure
was really what the Mugwump and
Democratic newspapers characterized
it. Now, the Republican party could
not have made tariff bill to answer
the admitted demands of the people
for lower duties on any other princi-
pie than that on which it made the
Mckinley bill. 1t might, to be sure,
have carried reductions further than
it did, and it might have declined to
raise any duty whatever. But in so
increasing the free list as to make it
comprise fully one-half our imports,
in reducing a large majority of all the
duties existing under the tariff law
of 1888, and in putting an increased
duty on agricultural and other pro-
ducts not adequately protected, it ex-
actly fulfilled its promises of 1888, and
revised and reduced the tariff on pro-
tective lines.
1t remains, therefore, only to pre-
sent the new tariff before the people
just as it is. specifically and intelligi-
bly,, and to show by chapter and verse,
by incontrovertible facts and figures
that the falsehoods which have been
uttered concerning it may be APP
parent.

an example, reproduced from The Decorator
and Furnisher, is here given of a Louis
XVI bed, recently exhibited in Paris.
This highly decorative piece of furniture
differs from many others of that period in
being of very practical utility for regions
where the mosquito abounds.
As shown in the cut, the four posts are
fluted and carved and carry the followed
ribs supporting the dome, and these ribs
are completely hidden by the four looped
curtains. The dome ribs, cornice, plumed
ornaments, posts and rails are simply
painted white. Every other part is up
holstered with light blue twill silk work
ed with cream colored design of a vase
and a Tyre alternately, surrounded by
roses and divided into diamond shapes by
light flowing ribbons.

A new English game is called ''The Bob

A highly recommended plan for tougher
ing the glass of lamp chimneys is to place
them in cold water, heat the water slowly
to boiling point and then let them cool
very slowly. Those who have tried it tes-
tify that cheap chimneys thus toughened
can be used for months.

THAT AWFUL MKINLEY BILL.

Every day the best kind of evidences
are being given to the public that the
tariff bill passed by congress during
the last ession, and which is known
as the Mckinley bill, is giving most
gratifying results. 1t should have
been one of the most popular laws that
have ever been made by congress, and
would be but for the continual, never
ending, unfair, unjust and demagogic
earnings al it by the Democrats.
They have singled it out as the hobby
horse which they propose to ride in
definitely, and they will ride it to
death, just as they have always ridden
their hobbies. Last fan before the
new law had been tried thousands
were misled 10y the Democratic howl
and the result was the election of a
majority Of Democrats. mugwumps
and whatnots, opposed to the Repub-
lican party.
The boomerang is already reacting
and its stroke will be more severe
when the public is more fully Informed
as to what the actual law, made by
Republican congress really is.
We agree with the Lowell, Mass,
Courier that, the Republican
party owes il TO itself to
have prepared and placed before
every voter, an exact and specific
statement of the changes made in the
tariff schedules by the Mckinley law.
There has been any amount of gener-
alization and assertion, but as far as
we know, there has been no detailed
comparison published, which was so
authenticity verified as not to be
gainsaid. As Republicans we assert
that the Mckinley tariff, instead of
being ian increase all along the line"
is measure Of reductions, by a large
majority. Not only does it reduce the
duties in very many more instances
than it increases them. but it reduces
very largely the total revenue, and the
average rates Of duty"
But all this goes for moth
ing, unless il is shown TO the
dullest and most prejudiced COM
prehension, on just what articles re-
auctions have been made, just what
the amount Of reduction is in each
case, and just how many articles have
been reduced, just how many have
been increased, just how many re-
main unchanged. And this compila-
tion should be verified by some man
who is known to the country, and
whose word would carry conviction to
every honest citizen. When such a
document is prepared, it should be put
into every house in the country, and
into the leading opposition newspapers,
in order that the systematic falsehoods
which have been so persistently stuck
TO by every Democratic and mugwump
newspaper ever since the passage Of
the Mckinley BILL may at last be
effectively replied to.
1t seems hardly credible that in an
intelligent country the very news
papers which make the highest pre-
tensions to fairness should so wilfully
and persistently misrepresent meas
ure, as they have done in this case. 1t
is almost equally incredible that in
telligent citizens should accept their
statements so readily. But it is be-
yond doubt that very many Of the

MILITARY ACADEMY

Each year there are hundreds of our
| young men sent from this state to
California and Oregon to be educated
at military academies.
This should not be allowed. There
should be in this state first-class
military academy where our young
men could have a thorough English,
classical or scientific education with
the necessary military instructions.
The academy would be largely
patronized from its opening, and each
year it would grow and prosper until
1t had gained firm hold on our peo-
pie, and could receive much substan-
tial aid from the state in the way Of
arms, ammunition, accoutrements
and artillery.

will only wonder why we were so slow
in moving in this direction.
