A PHYSICIAN Of BOSTON offers q sug.
gcstion which is well worth weighing.
lie thinks that humane people who are
SO fond Of raisiug funds for the nnfortu-
nate in foreign lands might more wisely
do something for the consumptivcs of
their w country. In New England
there are at least fifteen thousand con
sumptivcs. half Of whom might be ben
Gifted If they could afford to live in an
other climate. And the same thing is
true Of the whole region. which he calls
the ''consumptive belt" lie thinks
that oil consumptives ought to 20 to
New Mexico. where consumption is
altogether unknown among the natives,
and he calls on the churches to start a
consumptive emigration movement to
that territory.

Several years ago the R~0thchilds
held a large quantity of cotton in
New Orleans, which they instructed
their agent in that city to sell when
cotton should reach a certain price.
The agent, believing that the price of
cotton would 90 beyond the figure
named by his employers, held ON till
he was able to sell it at a price which
netted $4,000 more than he would
have got fer it If he had obeyed his
orders from London. lie joyfully
informed his employers of his sue
cess, supposing they would share his
satisfaction at the result. Imagine
his surprise and chagrin when he re-
csived q reply, saying, in substance:
"The $4,000 you made by disobeying
your instructions is not ours. 1t is
yours. Take it. Mr., your sue
cessor, will start for New Orleans by
the next steamer" This incident H.
illustrates the inflexible discipline en-
forced by the Rothchilds.

armed men it maintains, upon what
terms these men are used or can be
employed as militia, and TO report
whether such and organization, either
in its charter or its operations. vio-
lates the Constitution of the United

investigation. There is q very gen.
-eral siRtiment among labor organiza-

are sometimes used for purposes of
oppression, and that men are sndow-

lswless acts escape punishment be-
cause, as they are brought froma dis
lance, they are difficult to identify.
