Inveterate Smokers Are Dyspeptics.

Nearly all smokers who are inveterate
in the habit are dyspeptics, which is ex
planned by the fact of an overabundance
of saliva, the diminution of gastric juices
and stoppage of the ordinary functions
of the stomach. But in the addition to
the accidents of digestion there are others
which visit the lungs and the hearts Of
smokers. Pharyngeal troubles are very
common with people who smoke to ex-
cess. Irritation of the throat often COM
municates itself to the larynx and dry,
hacking cough frequently follows. Others
experience at night a passing depression
if they have smoked too much during the
day.
A certain kind of asthma has also been
noticed, caused by the abuse of tobacco;
but this, am certain, is quite rare, for ]
have never met it, though my life has
been passed among smokers. Accidents to
the heart are much more frequent. Ger
tain doctors even pretend that quarter
of the smokers show irregularities in. the
heart beats and pulse. do not Know
where their observations have been gath
cred, for have never seen such a thing

Tagging in English schools.

OF tagging generally even non English
readers can form some idea from the pages
of Tom Brown; but the extent to which it
is permitted is very different at different
public schools. Sydney Smith was I'M
fortunate in CHANGING upon Winchester
when it was in very neglected condition,
and he cordially hated the life of the
school. Even forty years ago writer
upon the Winchester of that day could say
with truth that flag might have been
called upon to do anything in the world
except to make beds and to black boots.
He was at the beck and call of some TWEEN
ty senior boys at the head of the school, in
whom were vested the general government
and punishment of the junior boys. This
system, with notifications, prevails in all
public schools, and though it has in par
ticular cases been found to work badly, ex-
perience has upon the whole, pronounced
in its favor.
Three distinct advantages-but there
are many others-may be here noted. A
little practical acquaintance with hum
bier duties in which habits of carefulness
and obedience must be exercised, is no bad
commencement for boys life in the small
world of school A little experience of the
duties and responsibilities of authority is
no bad preparation for boys start into
the larger world of life. And lastly an open
system of police on the part of the elder
scholars is an admirable substitute for the
vexatious interference of masters in the
minor details of morals and behavior. In
this way the senior boys secure the respect
of their juniors and enjoy the confidence
of their masters.-Harper's.

Ravages of the Black Death.

The beginnings of the black death arose
in China about the year 1893 with drought
and famine in the great river plains, which
were followed by floods so violent that
100000 people persisted. Great telluric
commissions occurred over the same tracts
The mountain Tsincheou fell in and vast
clefts were formed, from which it is said
that noxious vapors assembled. Anyhow,
food and famine were followed next year
by terrible plague, which carried off
5000, 600 of the wretched Chinese, while in
1897 a still more dreadful famine destroyed

The Egyptian Monopoly.

1t is favorite gibe Of tire anti
sub-treasury politician, that Joseph
established sub-treasury in Egypt.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. Joseph, by the direction OF
the king of Egypt, established a
monopoly after the most approved
modern methods. The facts arc, ac-
cording to the scripture narrative,
that the Divine Being warned Pha7
raoh in dreams Joseph the Hebrew
being interpreter) that there would
be famine of seven years dura-
zion; but first there would be seven
years Of plenty. AS predicted;
there cyme seven years of wonder
full plenty, and the crops we're
bought up by Pharaoh for a mere
song, on the modern plea, that
there was over-production. The
farmers, as now, had to sell to pay
taxes, and the taxes were applied,
in part, in building warehouses, in
which to store the grain; 50 it may
be claimed, that then, as now, the
farmers not only raised the grain,
but built the storehouscs. Money
was scarce, and during those years
of plenty, dollar" or an Egypt
ian coin, would "buy more grain
than ever before" As also pre-
dicted, there came the seven years
famine. The farmers of course
raised nothing. They had parted
with their crops fast as they matnred
and having sold below cost, had
nothing with which to buy food but
their cattle and land. The monopo-
list had no mercy. 1t WAS then-as
now-pay or perish. Cattle, land,
and finally freedom, were all battered
for food. The king was a great
spccuIator Had he lived to-day he
would have omtranked Old Hutch,
the Big Four, or even even Jay
Gould, for he accomplished in one
deal and within the short period OF
fourteen years, what it will take
orr SPECTATORS whole lifetime to
accomplish; but it may be claimed
that the king of Egypt had a walk
over. because of superior knowl-
edge, which is true, but he employ
ed exactly the same methods OF the
modern plundcrer, viz: When food
was plenty he bought at a price Of
his own setting; likewise, he sold at
his own figure. He held two
edged sword, and backed his
claims with an army that was even
better equipped than the Pinkerton
thugs

Letter from A PIowholder.

Ed. AG1TAToR: With your con
sent, l would like to have littl'
talk through your paper with my
1 brother laborers. :.
We find, in reading thelreport Q
the secretary of the treasury fol
1882, he says it is estimated that
at the present receipts and expendi
lures, the public debt could be paid
in ten years. He says: "1n view
of the large sum that has been paid
by the present generation upon thai
debt, and of the heavy taxation thai
now bears upon the Industries anC
business of the country, it seems
just and proper that another genera
ton should meet a portion of the
debt, and that the burdens now laid
on the country should be lightcncd. .
He says other considerations have
been presented, such as, if the pub
lie bebt be fully paid, and all gov.
ernment bonds retired, the best and
safest basis for the national bank
system will be gone, and that 9
desirable mode of Investment fol
savings banks, trust companies anc
fiduciaries' representatives, will ba
taken away, and that the return O.
the large sums paid to the holders
of bonds to seek reinvestment
through other channels will disturb
the business of the country.
Now in the first place, have we, as
laborers and producers, receive
any benefit from the reduction OF
the tax that he speaks of! The
income tax that was taken off was
in the interest of those who were
able to bear the burdens, and did
not benefit the masses; and in the
second place, funding the bonds
only kept a system of robbery in
vogue that the people have to be
taxed to keep up. He says: ri
the debt is fully paid, the money
will have to seek reinvestment. "
That is what all business needs, OK.
cept the money-loaner. 1t would
likely hurt him, and that seems tc
be whom our Lawmakers are look
ing after.
Now, brother laborcrs, if this
money was put into circulation, and
started into speculation other than
loaning it, do you not think that
we could lave better chance to
get an honest living?
Hear O. p. Merton: There is
gathered around the capitol of this
nation a gang ofspirates, who thun-
der successfully at the doors until
they have driven this government
into the most preposterous acts of
bad iaith and legalized robbery that
ever oppressed free nation since

CRATE son, one long-drawn express
sion of sympathy for the old man
went up from the plutocratic press
all over the land; and every party
serving whipper-snapper joined IN
the refrain. To them it was ex-
tremelye cruel that the old man

Young Fields was taught to spec

ever honestly earning a dollar hlm-
self. His father was his tutor, and
he should not whine like a coward

But do any of these papers sit IN
sack-cloth and ashes when any OF
the victims of the elder Fields
school of fnanciers are robbed!
When the small tradcsmen, the
merchant with little capital, or new
enterprises struggling to get an ex-
istcnce in the business of the nation
are throttlsd by the monsters, do
any of these papers ever express
any sympathy for them? DO they
offer any coincidence or suggest
that laws be made to help and pro-
tect the weak against the piracy of

our great cities is simply and purely
business of robbery; the strong
and villianously shrewd robbing the
weak and coniding. Examine the

feature there prominently presented
is the effort to rob one another.

BosToN, Dec. 22.-Four motormen
perished in the burning of the big car
stables of the West End Street Railway
Company on Ferry street, Everett,
Wednesday night The fire broke out
shortly after 1880 o'clock in the engine
room and spread to the oil room, and
in five minutes enveloped the entire
structure. John Clarke, Luke Glen
non, George Wallis and John Magin-
ness, all motormen, were engaged in
the pit" cleaning electric motors, and
their escape was cut off. The bodies
of two were taken out at midnight
One was identified as Clarl's, but the
other is so badly burned as to be un-
recognizable. The loss is S125, 900.
PARIS, Dec. GA most disastrous
confiagration has occurred at Berson,
village of Gironde, and fourteen of
the villagers were either burned to
death in their homes or were killed
while attempting to escape. The flames,
famed by high wind, spread with
great rapidity and it was early seen
that the efforts of the villagers to fight
the fire would be fruitless. Attention
was then turned to saving the aged
and little children, and it was in this
work of rescue that several of the viii
layers lost their lives. The greater
part of the village was destroyed and
the inhabitants are in great straits
owing to the lack of food and proper
clothing. The residents of surrounding
villages are doing all in their power to
alleviate their sutferings.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 24.-President
Harrison may, if he be so minded, have
the privilege of appointing another sec.
retary of state before the close of his
official term. Hon. John w. Foster
will lay down the portfolio OF
state on February and leave
for Europe. His objective point
will be Paris, where the court of
arbitration in the Behring sea contro-
versy will hold their sessions Some
months ago, before Gen. Foster was
appointed to succeed Mr. Blaine, the
president had selected him to represent
the United States as special counsel be-
fore the court of arbitration. 1t was
expected after Gen. Foster became sec.
retary of state that another gentleman
would be chosen as special counsel. The
president, however, feels that Gen. Eos.
ter's experience fits him especially to
discharge the duties of the place. and
that at his suggestion Gen. Foster will
leave the state department in time To-
attend the first meeting of the board
From the time of his departure until
the 4th of March next Mr.. Wharton
will discharge the duties of secretary,
work for which his long connection
with the department has admirably
fitted him,
