avOws that he is in the ranks OF those

ALoER's BOOMLET.
Next Year 1t VIII he Buried Too Deel
FOR Resurrecti0n.

Next Year Ii VIII he Buried Too Deep
Tor Resurrection.
Gen Russell A. Alger has long been
possessed of the desire TO occupy the
white house. He has encouraged the
desire The public has not nor viii it.
1t Is difficult for even the most acute
observer to understand why the eN-
governor of Michigan persists in fos-
tering his presidential boomlet. He is
utterly void of the qualities of a states
man and possesses not the first requis-
lite which one looks for in the first man
of this nation He can rest his claim
for the support OF the people on one
foot alone, and that Is, he was in the
late war He has received a moderate
share OF applause at &. A. r reunions
and encampments and this has given
rise in his mind to the belief that the
people of this country viii not be salts
ned until he wears the mantle of Wash
ingtOn- Never was there greater mis-
understanding Of popular sentiments.
Gen. Alger was a mediocre governor
who could not succeed himself. Re
publican congresses made him
wealthy man, and on this wealth he
depends for support at national con-
ventiOns. His presidential bOOmlet in
1SSS was poor, siclzly thing, and was
kept alive on liberal doses Of money
The Michigan delegation, while Os-
tensibly aiding 1t, wore large-sized
sleeves so as not TO cramP their laugh
ter.
Gen. Russell Alger in 1855 had one
thing to commend him-his franlSness-
Early in the season he declared him
self a candidate and commenced to lay
his wires accordingly. -Four years
later we find him again yearning to
become the choice of his party. by
his side stands his barrel ready TO be
tapped and the contents drawn off.
After the convention he will repair TO

DoctorIng the wild Animals.

Hospitals for cats and dogs are quite
common in the large cities, and many a
feline and canine pet has been successfully
nursed through severe illness by the ex-
pert doctors who spend their time In study
ing animal diseases. With the exception
of wounds and injuries, the great majority
of the complaints which the pets suffer
from come as a direct result of too high
living. Sweets, cake, candy and highly
seasoned food will in the course of time
make even the dumb brutes sick, and the
animal doctors frequently find that all
their patients need are little physic and
plain living. Two weeks of such common
treatment generally restores the pets to
health and strength again.
But of late years the importations to
this country of wild animals for circuses,
menageries and exhibitions of various
kinds have been so large that there has
sprung upa regular system of doctoring
for wild animals. Their complaints gen
orally are very few. AT first they are
homesick after leaving their forest jun
giles, and they pine away in their cages I'M
less they are carefully watched. The wilder
and fiercer ones refuse to be consoled, and
they often injure themselves in their frantic
efforts to break through their iron, cage.
Then the heat, change of climate and food
and occasionally old age, bring on com
plants that must be checked by expert
physicians.--New York Epoch.

A Narary of Disease.

The curious vagary of disease was in
stanced in the case Of young woman not
long recovered from an unusually severe
illness with typhoid fever. She is an only
daughter, and has always greatly deplored
this fact, wishing many times for sister.
In her delillum, which was unremitting
for many days, the desired boon was grant
ed. A vivid personality, the longed for
sister, named and identified, never left her
They lived together In her fancy a coherent
life, sleeping. rising, eating, visiting to-

veloped suggestion, alteration and admira-
