Why I Am q PrOtectiOnist.

I am a Protectionist because in our
history trace all our prosperity as
nation to the Protective system and all
our periods of financial and business
distress to the abandonment or threat
ened abandonment of that system;
Because as read history, all expert.
ence shows that nation can only be
prosperous or become wealthy or long
remain so under system which pro.
tects the labor of its citizens, creates
diversified industries, and enables it to
produce at home largely the articles it
consumes
Because I believe it to be the duty of
the Government and wise statesmanship
to provide, 80 far as legislation will &C.
complish It, that the people who labor
with their hands and who in this country
are in majority and are to control the
destiny Of this Government, and upon
whom the prosperity and perpetuity of
the nation depend, shall be permitted
to do our work, instead Of foreigners
across the sea, and to receive for the
same such compensation as will enable
them to live comfortably, educate their
children, prepare them to perform their
duties as American citizens intelligently
and independently. J.N. DoLpH,
U. 8. Senator from Oregon.

Moreover, women are to enjoy special
privileges on practicing In female hos

THE DEATH AGONY.
A Physician Says 1t Exists Mainly In the
Eel,older's Ina aginatlon.

A Physician Says 1t Exists Mainly In the
.Eeholdcr's Imagination.
"Many persons wonder" said house
doctor of a well-known hospital to O
New York Telegram reporter, ''how
physicians can watch unmoved the
death Of person whose dissolution is
seemingly accompanied by evidence of
great suffering, and the remark is a
common one that doctors are heartless
and unfeeling. This harsh criticism is
founded on wrong idea Of things.
The fact is that what is known as the
death agony is largely restricted to the
imagination Of the watcher at the bed
side of the dying person. The visible
spasms and distortions Of the facial
muscles which in many cases mark the
ending Of life are not only painless, but
take place unconsciously so far as the
dying person is concerned.
Even in case Of death by hanging,
where the prolonged agony Of the suf-
ferer is feelingly described by wit
nesscs, it is reasonably certain that in
few moments the person becomes un-
conscious and dies in that condition.
Such has been the experience OF per-
sons accidentally OF purposely hanged,
but afterwards resuscitated. It is q
fact that people who have been nearly
drowned agree in the statement that
after few moments Of painful strug-
gle feeling Of tranquility ensues.
"The suffering is while the re-
suscitated person is being brought back
to consciousness. Then it is he often
suffers physical pain and mental misery.
1t is merciful dispensation of God and
nature that, when the last moments Of
the dying man are at hand, vital forces
give out, and the long-drawn-out gasps
for breath come and go, the apparent
sufferer is happily in comatose condi-
ton, and SO passes painlessly into the
other life." Ft NfF

We've heard Of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle Of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bot
tle-wrapper that1l get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And "Favorite
Prescription produces health.
Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when
there's a guaranteed remedy
in the nearest drug store.

DISEASE AND coNTAoloN.
The Period During which Contact IL
Dangerous.

The Period During which Contact IL
Dangerous.
Among the practical questions connect
ed with the subjcc of contagious diseases
Is one which relates to the length of the
period of special exposure. The Bos-
ton Medical and Surgical journal says
that the contagiousness Of measles,
mumps and whooping- cough disappears
with the patients recovery; that there
rs probably no danger of his conveying
the disease to others for about week
after he himself was exposed to it
Chat is to say, during the so-called period
OF incubation; and that the contagious
ness of measles does not extend beyond
fortnight.
Some authorities affirm that the con-
tagiousness of whooping-cough ceases
after six weeks, howeverlong the cough
ing may continue; others think 1t, pru-
dent to isolate the patient until the
paroxysms are over. ....
In scarlet fever and diphtheria the
period of incubation is brief, few
days only; and during this period there
Is no contagion. 1t is very important to
know that in scarlet fever the period Of
greatest danger is after the disappear
ance of the fever, the period OF des-
quamation or pceling. From ignorance
Of this fact many lives have been lost.
Persons have gone into society before
the peeling was completed, and almost
of course have communicated the dis
ease. The factuis that every particle
Of the scales contains thousands of mi
crobes.
A lady who was recovering from scar
let fever wrote letter to distant
friend. AS she wrote she blew from the
paper the "dust" which peeled from her
hand. The letter conveyed the disease
to the friend and her little daughter, and
the daughter died.
A servant nursed scarlet fever pa
tient, and on leaving the place put her
clothing into trunk. A year after
ward she unpacked the trunk, and a
little girl who stood by took the dis
ease. --
In diphtheria the virus resides In the
false membrane, and for that reason is
less likely to be carried to distance;
but the particles long retain their power
of infection. The contagiousness of
consumption lies in the patients expec-
torations and discharges. If these are
carefully received in disinfecting fluid,
there is almost no danger to attendants
and frie nds.

STORY OF A DIAMOND.

It Was Obtained by Surgeon from q
brazilian by Sharp Practice.
A rare diamond, weighing nearly four
carats, now in New York, has q re-
markable history. It was found, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, in the gold
district OF Brazil by a native who did
not know its value, but kept 1t as q
''luclx" stone. One day while journey
ing 70 camp Of traders with his gold
dust he was bitten by serpent. Ap-
plying the antidote known to the peo-
pie Of that country, he proceeded on his
way, but had not gone far when he was
again bitten. He treated himself for
the second wound and continued on his
journey. While STOPPING to drink from
. brook the fsngs Of snake were fas-
tened in the bag which contained the
stone. On reaching the camp he was
found to be succumbing rapidly to the
effects Of the venom, and when ques-
toned by the camp surgeon told how
the snake had seized the bag at his
throat.
The surgeon was permitted to see the
stone, and, suspecting its real charac-
ter, he told the native that It was ex-
tremely dangerous to have it about him,
~ II attracted venomous reptiles, and
advised him to sink 1t In the neighbor-
ing brook. The superstitious finder of
the diamond acted upon the suggestion,
and the covetous surgeon, having
watched the proceeding, availed him.
self OF the first opportunity to fish the.
gem from its hiding place. The dia-
mond was purchased recently from the,
outer In Europe by Edwin A. Thrall, of
New York.

From calculations recently made by
the British board Of admiralty, It is
evident that the naval engagements Of
the future will be expensive affairs. It
was estimated that one vessel. carrying
two one hundred and ten-ton guns,
would, in two ordinary engagements,
use up guns and ammunition to the
value Of six hundred and fifty Thousand
dollark
