The Governor and His Army.
Our first duty was to call upon the Gov
ernor, lieutenant in the army who has
seen nine years service in these possessions
and who resides in large wooden building
or residence with his wife and two pretty
full of six soldiers in charge of another lieu
tenant The Governor received us very
graciously after we had explained the OBJ
ject of our visit and presented our pass
ports. He invited us to dinner, but as we
were tired out and needed siesta we COM
promised by taking his chief of staff, lit
tie lieutenant, back to y o'clock dinner
with u.s. He looked very imposing, after
he had donned his dress parade outfit, as he
strobe along, his sword clanking at every
step, and his white helmet and gold lace and
aigrettes shining in the sun. This show of
uniforms and guns-there are two cannons
mounted in front of the barracks-is a
potent influence among the natives, al
though the little garrison would not be a
mouthful for one of the tribes if they
should revolt.

Electric Light In Surgery.

It is astonishing that the splendid work
now being done in this country by few Of
the leading and most progressive electro
therapeutists has been accorded so little
recognition outside the profession. This,
however, can be readily understood by
those who realizs the strength of profess
sional prejudice in the matter of advertis-
ing and the modesty of many earnest scien-
lists in giving publicity to the results OF
their investigations. It is gratifying to
know that an interchange of courtesies and
ideas between the electricians of New
York and their colaborers in the field Of
therapeutics is likely to be carried out in
the fall, when a convention will be held
in New York of the American Electro
Therapeutic Association. Such commun-
ion is calculated to do an immense amount
of good in directing attention to the admir-
able results that have been attained in
many departments of surgery and medicine
by means of electrical applications
Another outcome of such meeting can
be looked for with satisfaction. The field OF
electrotherapeutics is covered by three
pretty clearly defined classes of practition-
ers: the really earnest and scientific work.
er; the ordinary practitioner, who, recognlz-
ing that electricity is ''the thing now
adays," uses it in blind and pertunctory
manner, knowing, perhaps, that certain
causes give certain general results, but not
knowing or perhaps not caring to know why,
and the electrical medical humbug. 1t is no
small advantage that such an opportunity
can be afforded ct differentiating between
sound and questionable practice.

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH


Now in the days of Benjamin I, who
judged the land four years and may be
longer, and whose hat was so mighty that
not any man, no, not even though he be
fatter than Ebud the Moabite, might knock
it off with an exceeding tall pole, the
children of Unkelpsalm went up and down
the land in the caravans that journeyed on
the highways of iron, for so did men jour-
ney in the days of our fathers, before they
had learned to fly.
For all the highways of the caravans were
paved with steel. Therefore did men call
them the iron roadways.
And it was SO that if sojourner in the
land was exceeding rich in silver and gold
and stocks and bonds, that when he would
travel, the sons Of Ar-Ar, who were masters
of the highways, sent unto him free pass,
saying: "Of verify it shall not cost thee
a shekel to travel from Dan to Beersheba
and back again with thy family, thy men
servants and maid servants; art thou not
rich enough to have everything for moth
ing?"
But when poor man of the land desired
to fare to distant point, they bade him
pay full fare for himself and half fare for
the man with the pass, for they said: 1--WE
are not running this railroad for our health;
somebody must pay for it. Shall we ask a
man as rich as ourselves for money!"
Very Tough on Lazarus.
And it was hard lines on Lazarus. For
in those days there was no judge for the
trusts, but every corporation did that which
was right In its own eyes. And it was so

The women are net handsome by any

splendid forms. The Ga, oties women smoke

necessarily, perform all the household and

every sense are the hcwers of wood and

houses are of one room, raised on bamboo

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPArCH.I
An account was recently given in this
column of a so-called "electroforce boot"
which was being exhibited in the window
of London, Eng, store, accompanied by
description of the wonderful virtues Of
the "odic magnetism" which it was sup
posed to generate and impart to its wearer.
A London electrical journal called atten-
tion to this attempt ''to gull the public"
and spoke of it as unworthy the name Of
a respectable tradesman." The legal adj
wiser of the "electroforee" boot dealer has
written to the journal in question for a re-
traction and an apology for its remarks, un-
der penalty of a libel suit. The editor in
reply says:
':Many of our readers will recolleet the
man who was called to account for his libel
upon woman-'She was ten years older
than she looked Under threat of condign
punishment he retracted-'She wasn't ten
years older than she looked 1t is our mis-
fortune to be unable to take in all the rig
marole about 'odc force and 'odic magne-
tisu..' IF business men will tamper with
things they know not of they must expect
some sharp criticism. We have nothing to
retract from what we have said. The peo-
pie who are led to consider the buying Of
boots because of some high sounding far
rago and scientific nonsense have to depend
upon technical journals for words of warn
ing and advice. Most emphatically the
putting of a magnet in the heel of boot is
no more efficacious in curing bronchitis or
in renewing brain power than the rubbing
of the head with a piece of wood would be.
The shopkeeper is depending upon the
ignorance of purchasing public
in order to obtain higher price
for something that has absolutely
no value of the kind he puts upon it. A
good boot may be of immense value in
Keeping the foot dry, and so prevent pos
sibility of bronchitis, hut that magnet in
the heel of the boot will cure the bronchitis
is quite another matter. The moment the
gentleman aggrieyed will prove the efficacy
of the magnet so soon will we apologize to
any extent ne pleases. We shall be happy
to insert any communication that tends to
prove him correct in bis statements. Our
aim is to obtain facts, aud not to be satisfied
with the exuberant outpourings of the i'm
aginations of quasi-scientiic investigators.
1t is almost to be regretted that there is
little likelihood of the matter going further,
for lawsuit for libel based on the state
ments in question would be an immense
boon to the public, as it would result in
disclosures that would be more convincing
than any ordinary testimony as to the e1-
tent to which the eredulity of the masses is
worked upon more and more every year BY
bogus electrical and magnetic curative ap-
pliances.

walked home. Now the way was exceeding
long. And he beat upon his breast and
cried, "Woe is me, for I am undone!' But
the sons of Belial Knocked and cried after
him, "Nay, but thou art done up" And
it was so. And when he came unto his
tent he told his wife all that had befallen
him.
But she said unto him, 'Let not my lord
be cast down, for he is all right. I knew
thee, that thou hadst no head on thee-at
least, when thou wentest away from home
and knew that thou wouldest surely lose
thy ticket Wherefore did 1 secretly take
it from thy inside pocket and tie it in the
corner of thy handkerchief Lo, here is
that which thou thoughtest thou haddest
lost"
And size held her head high and said,
sLo, what would become of these poor
stupid men were it not for their wives
And she said within herself, ''Now will I
surely wear bloomers and vote"
But Haiseed the son Of Thistlepod was
wroth. And when he had thought it all
over with his mouth, he cried, Truly
thou hast made me to be byword and
scorn."
And he smote her great many times
plus more, across the shoulder blades with
a hickory ram-rod. and cast after her the
sandals of the hired man as she fled into
the corn patch.
And he abode in his tent, for he said,
"verily the way of the traveller is hard; and
if so be that he is innocent Of wrong doing,
and his hands are free from wickedness and
he knoweth not the way of iniquity, yet is
his way the rockier by way ofhis innocence.
I will dwell in my tents, and lay for the
caravans of the sous of Ar-Ar with all my
crippled stock, with the weaklings of the
flock, and with the yearlings that cannot
sell by reason of old age"
And it was so.

Wedding by Electricity.

A great source of annoyance and expense
to railway companies is the encroachments
of the grass which grows around the rails Of
their lines. An effective mode of getting
rid of this nuisance has just been devised in
the shape of an electrical vegetation de-
stroyer This consists of q wire brush, very
much in appearance Ike an ordinary scrub
bing brush. This is connected by wire
with dynamo in the nearest available cleo
trio light or power station. A powerful
current Is turned on and an operator drags
the fully charged brush, which is supplied
with a wooden handle, over the grass, kill
ing it instantly. There are many ways in
which this ability to instantly destroy vege-
tation can be utilized. Gardeners especially
are likely to be grateful for such ready
method OF getting rid of noxious weeds on
garden walks as well as in flower beds.

E.,er.ntna,.nc the Food ,e,.h.

The cupidity of the fisherman on the
Atlantic coast is rapidly destroying near
ly every kind of sea food upon which the
people have been accustomed to rely
The complaints of the men who control
the fish markets are long and loud that
the supply of fish is much less for this
season than it was the last. The lobster
factories on the MaineScoas are all
closed, and one has to go down as far
east as Prince Edward island to find a
lobster with shell on his back at fair
price. The herring factories have be-
gun to exhaust the immense schools OF
herring that gather around Grand Ma
nan and work their way. into the Bay of
Fundy
The mackerel have been SO scarce dur
ing the season, from the wholesale de-
struction of schools, that a single mack
erel is today more expensive than a
pound of beef The bluefish are still
plenty, but there are signs that even this
species of fish is beginning to be preyed
upon by the methods employed by the
fishermen in catching them. The fisher
men say that they are obliged to use
these destructive methods IA order to
protect themselves; from the encroacb-
ments of those who refuse to keep to the
old methods, aud so the wholesale de-
struction goes on without restraint.
The time has come when If the sea, Is
to yield to us much longer the delicious
food which makes life on the Atlantic
coast a delight to the people Of the west,
as well as to the natives, different
methods Of catching the fish, and pro-
lection for them in the close season,
must be established by law, for which
the proper enforcement must be ar
ranged. The necessity is urgent. There
is not single species of fish used for the
table which is not now in great danger
of extinction. The salmon and the shad
have been protected, but protection is
equally demanded for the cod, the her
ring the lobster and the mackerel.

MARKET REVIEW.

THE DALLEs, April 2s, 1892.
The city market is lifeless. Business
is fairly good in all lines, prices unchan-
ged. The grocery market is in statu quo.
Sugar remains at former quotations, but
an advance may be expected soon as the
fruit season is near at hand. Coffee,
beans, and rice continue firm.
The wool market is completely off.
There are no buyers, nor quotations to
mention. Receipts are becoming more
frequent, and is beginning to attract at
tention. Last years prices will not be
realized, as stocks on hand are without
purchasers.
