senator, Ed Murphy. 10 very offensive
10 the Cleveland wing of the democ-
racy. Something must be done to get
him out of the way. With remark
able shire wdness the New York Herald
dominates Charles A. Dana, the phos-
phorus-eyed editor Of the never-say-
die sun to head him off. Dana
is just as much Tammany man in
spirit rs Murphy, but Dana has brains.
III brains can be made to down Doodle
in such . campaign, Dana may be
elected--but the chances are against
HIM. He is too erratic. His paper
wobbles. One days utterance is no
criterion by which to judge Of the next
days utterance. He may be for his
party today and "agin" it tomorrow. He
was unusually constant to his" force bill"
program OF attack in the late election,
but he used it as a subtcrfuge to con-
ceal his dislike for Grover. The mu-
tations of politics are incomprehensible.
Once Cleveland hated Dana as Lucifer
hated snow. Dana called Grover =
"Stuffed Prophet" He called him
other hard names and it grieved
Grover. Now Grover wants Dana to
DO q candidate for senator to beat Muir
ply and outwit Hill; it is fair to pre-
sumo that he does because he banks
on the New York Herald. Other
considerations will enter into the prob
abilities. The fact that the pathway OF
New York journalists to Office and
fame is ktrewn with thistles and broken
eggsheIls will have depressing effect
on his chances. From Greeley TO Reid
no New York editor has secured official
station by the votes of the people or
their immediate representatives. The
outlook for Dana is dubious. He's .

The lack of personal attention is probably
more noticeable in California among the wool
growing community than in other agricult-

decrease in the yield of that commodity dur
ing the PAST decade. The first record of yearly
production of wool was made in 1854, when
the output was 1875, ,000 pounds. A large in
creased product followed each season, until it
reached 56,550,97O pounds in 1876, after
which the falling off in yield began, and 1t has
continued until but 32, ,000,0O0 pounds was
returned Tor the past season. as will be shown

rated as the world advances. We would say
to the present generation, in no field of use

IN the cultivation of the soil; in no otEer yo-
cation is to be found more independent

The Meaning of Hobson's Choice.

The expression IHobson's 5 choice is of
ten heard, but comparatively few persons
recall its origin. Wide Awake explains it
thus: Thomas Hobson was born in l544.
He was for sixty years carrier between
London and Cambridge, conveying tu and
from the university letters, packages and
passengers. Inaddition to his express bust
ness, he had livery stable, and let horses
to the university students He made it Il
rule that all the horses should have. ac-
cording to their ability, proper division of
work and rest They were taken out in
regular order as they stood, beginning with
the one nearest the door. No choice was
allowed, ard if any man refused to take the
animal assigned to him, he might 90 with
out any. That or none. Hence the phrase,
'Hobson's choice. In the spring of lG50
the plague broke out in England. The
colleges Of Cambridge were closed, and
among the precautions taken by the author
tiles to avoid infection, Hobson was forbid
den to SO to London. He died in January,
165l, partly, it is said, from anxiety and
fretting at his enforced leisure. Hobson
was one of the wealthiest citizens of Cam
bridge, and did much for the benefit of the
city, to which he left many legacies His
death called forth several poems from mem
bers of the university, officers and students,
among them two by the poet Milton, then
a student at Christ's College"

To Prevent the Grippe.

From Our Dumb Animals,
The Boston Herald of January 10th
says
Mr.. Geo. I. Angel, president of HUI
name Society, said yesterday -
GA gentleman calling on me to-day tells
me that he has seen in one of the Boston
dailies letter from physician recommend
ing as preventive of grip the putting of
powdered sulphur in the stockings, so as to
be constantly walking on sulphur.
'tSome years ago Casey Young, member
of Congress from Memphis, Tenn, told me
that, during the great yellow fever epidemic
at Memphis, in which | believe thousands
died, he and various other gentlemen of
his acquaintance saved their lives by con-
stantly wearing powdered sulphur in their
stockings, while others of his acquaintance
who refused to use it died,
In one Instance he stated that out of a
considerable number of gentlemen assembl-
ed in his Office, who discussed the subject,
every one who used the sulphur escaped,
and every one who did not had the fever.
1t is well known that few doses of sui
phur taken internally will pass through the
body, clothing, and pocketbook, and SO
blaeken the silver in the pocketbook as to
make its reception doubtful It is also
equally well known that men working in
malaria districts in sulphur escape malaria.
| think it my duty to state these facts,
which may be of value in preventing sick
ness and saving life"
To all our readers we add to the above =
II, after consulting your doctor, you con-
clude totry the experiment day or two, you
will find that you are, when warm, surround
ed by a very perceptible sulphurous at
mosphere.
We have asked the dean of our q Harvard
University Medical School to have expert
ments make in regard to the effects of sui
phur on dangerous germs, which we hope
may result ip some important discoveries.

Use of Mustard.

Mustard is very valuable remedy. No
family should be without it, Two or three
teaspoonfuls of ground mustard stirred into
half pint of water acts as an emetic very
promptly and is milder and easier to take than
salt and water. Equal parts of ground mus
tard and -four or meal, made into paste
with warm water, and spread on thin
piece of muslin, with another piece of mus
lin laid over it, forms the often indispensa-
BILE "mustard plaster" 1t is almost speci-
ic for collie, when applied for few minu tes
over the spit Of the stomach For all in
terpal pains and congestions there is no
remedy of SUCH general utility. 1t acts as
q eounter-irritant, by drawing the blood to
the surface, hence in severe cases of Group
small mustard plaster should be applied
to the back of the child's neck The same
treatment will relieve almost any case of
headache. 4 mustard plaster should be
moved about over the spot TO be acted up
on, for If left too long in one place it is Ii
able to blister. A mustard plaster acts as
well when at considerable distance from the
affected part. An excellent substitute for
mustard plasters is what is known as SINUS
tard leaves. They come dozen in box
and are about four or five inches in size;
they are perfectly dry and will keep for a
long time, For use It is only necessary to
dip one in dish of water for minute and
then apply il.

Saved by His Wife's Wit.

The Rev DIR. Clinton Locke, the popu-
lar Episcopal clergyman, of Chicago, made
bad break the ether day, but was helped
out by the quick wit of his wife. On the
day in question he saw lady about to call
whom he was anxious not to meet. So he
said to his wife: "Now I'm off, my dear
I'll run up stairs and escape till she goes
away" After about an hour he quietly
tiptoed to the stair landing and listened.
All was quiet below Reassured he began
to descend, and while doing so he thought
lessly but emphatically called out over the
bannister:
"Well, my DEAR has that old bore gone
at last ?"
The next instant a voice from below
caused the cold perspiration to bedew his
ministerial brow and rooted him to the
spot, There came response which
sounded inexpressibly sweet to him just
then. 1t was the voice of his wife, who,
with true womanly tact, replied, Eyes,
darling, she went away over an hour ago,
but here is our good friend, Mrs. Blank >,
whom | am sure you want to meetr'

Sleep as a Medicine.

A physician says that the cry for rest
has always been louder than the cry for
food. Not that it is more important, but
it is often harder to obtain. The best rest
comes from sound sleep. OF two men or
women, otherwise equal, the one who sleeps
best will be the most healthy and efficient
Sleep will do much to cure irritability of
temper, peevishness aud uneasiuess. 1t
will restore vigor to an overworked brain.
1t will cure a headache. It will cure a
broken spirit, 1t will cure a sorrow. In
deed, We may make long list of nervous
and other maladies that sleep will crre.
The cure of sleeplessness requires a clean,
good bed, sufficient exercise to promote
WEAKNESS, pleasant occupation, good air and
not too warm a room; clear consciepcaand
avoidance of stimulants and narcotics. For
those who are overworked, haggard, ner-
vous, who pass sleepless nights, we commend
the adoption of such habits as win secure
sleep, otherwise life viii be short, and what
there is Of it sadly imperfect.
