1cK-BoATING ON THE HUDSON.
A Mile a Minute Is the speed Often Made
by the Swift Flyers.

A Mile q minute Is tne SpeeQ OIUcn maoe
by the Swift Flyers.
Pearson's Weekly
The ice-boat is racing machine pure and
simple Its hull-if the few timbers FORM
ing that spider-like structure can be so
called-is put together in such a manner as
to obtain the greatest possible strength con-
sistent with lightnsss Every village along
the Hudson appears to have a few of these
boats The season for the sport rarely
lasts over 80 days, and some winters afford
but a week of good racing weather.
OF course there are many fine days scat
tered through the season, which the indi-
vidual ice-boat enthusiast watches for and
takes prompt advantage Of The main OBJ
stacles to the sport are light winds, rough
ice, and snow. Accidents are rare, and it
is seldom that any more serious harm
comes to the sportsman than a thorough
ducKing or frost-bitten hand or nose.
The most serious accidents occur from
collisions where the boats meet on opposite
tacks, or when one, stopped suddenly by
some unforeseen obstruction, is run into by
another too closely following its course.
The authentic runs of some of these boats
are really marvellous. Swift express-trains
are frequently overtaken and passed as if
they were at rest. A mile minute is often
made by hiers.

Hippophagy in Paris.

One of the most prosperous industries in
Paris is the sale and disposal of horsehesh
for food. There are in the city of Paris 1SO
shops for the sale of horsehesh, and in the
course of this year more than q, 900 horses.
81 mules and 275 donkeys have been killed
aud eaten by the Parisians. The most sin
gular point about this traffic is that the
price of the flesh is equal to that of good
beef, 20 cents q pound. It is only fair,
however, to add that two-thirds of this
meat has been converted into sausages, so
that it is more than possible that the con-
sumers are ignorant of the source of their
toothsome dish. 1t is now easy to under
stand how it is that good horses are SO
scarce in the Paris facres; at 20 cents a
pound fat horse would be worth more
when he was dead than alive

T0HEAR FROM NANSEN
A Suggestion That Birds Be Used to
Carry Back Arctic News.
EATING HORsEFLESH IN PARIS,
Drinking in England and Nickel-in-the-
Slot Plan for Tipplers.
NIGHT-CAPS NOT GOOD FOR SLEEPING
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH,

~
The periIs to which Arctic explorers are
exposed are enumerated in recent article
on DR.. Nansen's Polar expedition, and
among the suggestions made with view of
maintaining communication with the out
side world when the exploring party is in
winter quarters, is one which bears the
stamp of novelty. One writer, while
promising that the breeding quarters of the
Knot are as yet absolutely unknown, gives
reasons for supposing that they will be
found somewhere within the mystic Arctic
circle, and that there the intrepid explorer
will encounter them. As these birds
habitually visit the east coast of England,
where they are shot in large quantities in
the autumn, it is suggested that they be
employed as messengers of communication
between the ice-bound travellers and the
civilized world.
The ingenious originator OF this idea pro-
poses that q number of these birds should
be caught and marked In some way that
would attract the attention of sportsmen
and entrusted with missiyes, after the
method adopted with carrier pigeons The
expedition in question is apparently the
best designed attempt that has yet been
made to reach the unknown Arctic region,
aud it is the general impression that if ever
the North Pole is to be won it is now.
Nansen's scheme is not to force his way
through the ice in the manner hitherto at
tempted, but to place his little vessel in
such position that the ice shall carry him
to his destination. He believes that the
currents of the Arctic Seas set from the
Siberian Islands across to Greenland by the
way of the North Pole. His idea there
fore, is a simple one. He will run his ship
into the ice, and drift with it in the proper
direction,

1t Turns Out to Be an Excellent Antisep-
tic for Fresh Wounds.
Garden and FOrest1
The most valuable product Of the euca-
lyptus trees, which are planted in California,
are the essential oil and certain medical
preparations from the leaves. The dis
titled extract from eucalyptus, which resem-
bles in its method OF production the we'll
known distilled extract of witc-hazeI, has
come into prominence within a few years.
1t is concentrated extract from freshly
gathered leaves of trees that are at least
seven years old, and the older the better.
1t is used for most of the ailments where
the oil has been used, and has the adYant-
age, of being cheaper. 1t has been recon-
mended for headaches, nervous affections,
and as an antiseptic it has given good re-
suits when applied to fresh wounds, and for
inflammation Of mucous membranes and
insomnia; for cold in the head aud sore
throat it is OF service, while as disintect-
ant, it is useful from ihe fact that, like the
oil, it substitutes q pleasant odor for noxi-
Gus ones The oil has an established place
in the materia mediea, and there is evidently

BEFORE BURYING The DEAD.
Valuable Hints That Should Not Escape
Anybody's Attention.

AnyDody'S Attention.
New York SUM-
In order to call attention to the great care
necessary before burving the dead, the fol-
lowing extracts from q medical journal are
given, namely, five signs of death: First
sign, cessation of circulation and respir-
alton; second, cooling of the body from 900
to that of atmosphere, usually In "a hours
or less; third. rigidity, which begins in
about six hours after death; after some
hours there is relaxation; fourth, resistance
of muscles to galvanization; fifth, mortifi-
cation, which generally commences in about
40 hours after death, and usually shows first
over the stomach.
Physicians should always see the dead
person before giving certificate, even in
cases where they have been in attendance
Just before death.
On the authority of a physician, it is un-
derstood that, in embalming, slight in
cision. is made first, before going on with
the process, which seems a necessary safe
guard. But the safest way is to wait until
there are slight signs of modification.
The attention of mothers and nurses is
called to the covering of infants heads too
closely, lest they should not have sufficient
air to breathe freely.

Prof j. E Humphrey insists that the
treatment of fungus diseases in plants
should be preventive rather than remedial.
Giving the plant abundant nourishment is
not sufficient; the usual careless practice OF
leaving in the winery or orchard, lying on
the ground or hanging from the branches,
the dead fruits of the season which have
been destroyed by fungi may work infinite
mischief, as the dead fruits furnish to the
fungi which attack them the most favorable
possible soil for further and complete de-
velopment. In the next spring the air is
full of the spores of these fungi, which
find lodgment in the new leaves and fruits,
and so the trouble is continued.

What Crowd Poisoning Is.

The newest name for bad air is "crowd
poison" Two medical men have been en-.
deavoring to determine what it is that
makes the air of crowded places poisonous
to those who breathe it. Their object was
to find out whether the effect was owing to
the diminution of oxygen, as generally be-
lieved, or to the presence of deleterious
organic matter in the carbonic acid ex-
PEELED from the lungs, as the majority OF
psychologists maintain, or to the excess of
carbonic acid gas pure and simple. The
conclusion arrived at is that the excess of
carbonic acid gas is alone responsible for
the headache, feeling of suffocation, etc. +,
frequently experienced through the breath
ing of contaminated atmosphere.

Reformers must keep close TO nature If
they expect to convince the multitude
and lead them to victory. Deception and
ambiguity must be swept away, and the
sunlight Of heaven must illumine all our
social questions.
There is no such thing as cheap
money or dear money, honest money or
dishonest money. Money Is money. It
Is an ideal thing. It Is not wealth. ltls
an evidence that it's possessor, If he has
gained it honestly, has parted with SER
vices or commodities equal In value to the
denomination stamped upon 1t. So in
stead of being wealth, it Is the absence
of wealth. Money does not exist In ma
ture as thing, lt is q mere counter Of
values; yet the idea comes from nature.
When God gave the people the custom Of
barter, He taught them to count values
to use money, .. g., to number the value
Of things. The ancient Greeks had the
right idea when they called their money
nWmerata, !. e., to number. Money Is the
arithmetic of values. So the Arab was
right when he said "arlthmetlc came
from God" So it was that the first
arithmetic ever used was mental (money)
numbering, when men first commenced
to barter. The first written (money)
numbering (arlthmetic) was the red
feathers and shells Of the hunting and
fishing period, which were counters, and
as useful money as gold or silver count
ers (money(.
Now, q counter cannot be honest or
dishonest, cheap or dear. 1t ig counter,
or it is not counter. The custom of the
use of money, which is natural right,
may be so prostituted as to monopolize
these counters, make them scarce or
abundant, rob industry Of the fruits Of
ltg toll, and thwart the will of heaven
by taking from him that swests and Civ
ing to him that does not sweat.
A recent writer in the ADVOCATE says:
"Intrinslc value 10 natural power In the
thing itself to supply human want or
necessity. Air has the greatest intrinsic
value. Water has great intrinsic value;
80 also have food, clothing, medicines,
dwellings, light, heat, music, liberty
civil and religious, and whatever else
adds In itself a social or individual bless
ing. Money in itself fills no such con-
dltion."
Air, water, food, nor any Of the things |
mentioned have intrinsic value. The in
trinslc value idea has been 30 often ex-
plOded in the columns Of the ADVOCATE |
that it would be idle to notice Il sgain. |
Air has no intrinsic value, but It has In
trinSic properties. So also OF everything
In nature. Understanding this, men can
not be deluded with the cry of intrinsic
value In gold money.
The Peoples party does not have to re-
sort to Sophistry, ambiguity or fslsehood
to maintain It's principles. These are the
stock arguments of plutocracy.
Theodore Parker says: "Truth ls
part Of the celestial machinery of God,
and whosoever puts that machine in gear
for humanity hath the Almighty to turn
the wheel" The farmerS' alliance, the
knights Of labor, the trade unions, the
and last but not least,
the old greenbsck guard, have placed
this machinery in gear for humanity, and
