The Most Despicable Man.

The man whom thoroughly and pos
itively hate. and against whom as a type
| would warn young women, as the
board of health officers warn the public
against infection with scarlet fever
card. is the domestic tyrant, the man
who is bully in his own family, the
man who is a hero at home and a coward
among bigger men than he. When he
was boy, he loved to torture kittens,
trap rabbits and tease birds by breaking
up their nests and cracking their eggs.
But yearling calf or sitting hen would
always make him run. Now he is man,
he swears at his wife and nags her life
away. He sends the cold chills down
the children's spines whenever his steps
draw nigh and is as pompous and big
feeling among the women folks and the
helpless boys and girls as fussy old
turkey gobbler with his hens.
Fun can no more thrive where he is
than pansies can live in coal gas. He is
civil to the black man who gives him his
dinner, to the boy-provided he is full
sized-who blacks his boots and to who
ever is richer and stronger than he. but
politeness for his wife was laid away
with his wedding garments, and he curses
his daughters and his sons for every
trifing misdemeanor in way that would
rouse a newsboy to thrash him if he
spoke to the lad with equal insolence.-

A Foreigners Idea.

The correspondent of prominent
newspaper in France who has been sent
to the Chicago Worlds fair to write up
matters of interest has i'll one of his let
tiers touched upon the contemplated
meeting of the bankers of the United
States in Chicago in September The
following is IA translation of the part of
his letter that relates to this subject:
The bankers of the United States hold a
meeting or convention in Chicago this autumn.
it is society of all the banks. great and little,
and financial institutions of the United States
for cultivating the amenities of language and
department.
The usual conversation OF the fresher mon
eyed men Of the woolly west (occident a la laine)
is, am told often quite shocking tun coup TO
the more cultured fnanciers of New York and
Philadelphia.
The language Of the checks, the drafts and
the wire messages is frequently ungrammatical,
full of solecism and far from being CONNIE il
faut
The banker who keeps the store and sells the
groceries-what they call the grub stake-in
buckskn robe and sOmbrero will meet the
banker from New York. from Boston, from
Philadelphia in stovepipe (chapeau habite)
and broadcloth. From the Indian Territory
Will come lluhntltFN IN Ttu DlduktlS anu nose
rings and from the prairies and cotton fields
the cashier and the paying teller in blue and
drab jeans and straw hat. From Kentucky
will come money changers in coonskin caps "a
la Daniel Boone).
For some years a great professor in one of
the universities of finance has been hired TO
teach the moneyed men the rudiments of their
business. The professor has the knowledge,
and the bankers have the money. What more
simpler
Some of the bankers learn for the first time
at these seances with the professor that they
have been taking interest whenever they dis
counted n note. Like our distinguished COM
patriot who was informed by Moline that for
years he had been unconsciously talking prese,
the members of the society are naturally de-
lighted.
In some states when a loan is made the bOr-
rover returns the note. The professor will
correct this
To render these teachings more easily retain
able a truly American idea is soon to be put in
practice. A chair of poetry will be endowed in
the university for an eminent man of learning
and of great and versatile genius, who will oc-
cupy himself in arranging the lectures of the
professor who instructs the financiers into
metrical rhymed couplets. when call loans
are cheap and low then the gold abroad will
flow;" or, "Dwiggins, the iaybird, sits on
limb and makes the depositor look for him."
etc.
The foregoing shows how talented
foreigner can adorn and enhance a nat
urally dry subject, although the extracts
lose much in the somewhat imperfect
translation. 1t may be remarked that
the French are usually quite accurate as
observers, Max O'Rell being case in

Sugar, Molasses and Honey Are Nowhere
In Comparison with Saccharine.

Sugar. Molasses and Honey Are Nowhere
In Comparison with saccharine.
An industry still young, but unques-
tionably with a great mercantile future,
il that of saccharine, a product of coal
tar. 1t is substitute for sugar, has
none of its bulk and is so powerful that
it is 800 times sweeter. The history of
its discovery is interesting
In 1879 DR.. Constantine Fahlberg, a
Russian by birth, but who had been ed
heated in Germany, became connected
with the Johns Hopkins university in
Baltimore. There he conducted series
of experiments on the toluene sulpha-
mides, in order to investigate their oxi-
dation products.
The outgrowth of this investigation
was the discovery of saccharine. BY
oxidizing pure orthotoluene sulphamide
it was found that it would yield re-
markably sweet compound. The amount
obtained, however, was too small to be
of any practical value for manufactur-
ing purposes. The problem thenceforth
was to find other reactions which would
give better yield of the sweet body. A
long and exhaustive series of laboratory
experiments extending through several
years were necessary for the satisfac-
tory development of the chemical proc
ess of production
AS might be expected, a discovery of
such practical utility had to run the
gantlet of much hostile criticism. 1t
formed fruitful subject for discussion
in various scientific societies and jour
nails Attempts were made to show that
it was not only deleterious, but danger
Gus. 1t is only fair to say, however, that
these arguments seem to have been sue
cessfully controverted. An overwhelm-
ing mass of expert testimony is recorded
in favor of saccharine. Eminent profess
ors, like Sir II. E. Roscoe in London,
Leyden in Berlin, Paul in Paris, Won
Barth in Vienna, and host of others,
after thorough tests, have certified that
the effects of saccharine upon the phys
ical and psychical functions Of the brute
and human systems are entirely harm
less.
Saccharine in its pure condition is
white powder Various exclusive ad-
vantages are claimed for its use in the
arts, household and medicine. To emu
merate few: 1t is so small in bulk that
the saving in storage and freight is of
course very great; its valuable antiseptic
qualities make it especially available in
preserving as well as sweetening articles
Of food. such as jellies, fruits, etc. In the
distilling of brandies and liquors and in
the brewing Of beer saccharine has been
used with signal success. Mixed with
glucose. saccharine has a sweetness equal
to the finest refined sugar. Further,
saccharine serves a distinctly medical
purpose. 1t is employed to disguise the
unpleasant taste of medicine and in the
preparation of indicated wines and 9TH
er cordials 1t has also been highly in
dorsed as a substitute for sugar for those
suffering from diabetes and from fat
ness Unlike sugar, it does not go to
form surplus nourishment. Finally it
may be added that this highly concen-
trated sweetening substance requires
only little intelligence to be successful
ly used in the household. Washington

There was called meeting of the
business men of New Whatcom held at
Lighthouse hall last evening which
was fairly well attended, but which ac-
complished nothing, simply because
there was no definite object i'm view in
calling the meeting, and because no
one seemed to have a reasonably intel
hgent idea as to what means should be
pursued to bring about an era of gen.
eral prosperity. Everyone realizes that
the condition of affairs is not what it
should be, but the difficulty is not one
which can be cured by a business mems
meeting in a single city, from the mere
fact that the causes producing the
present depression in business enter
p-ises are not to be found i'm a single
section of the country. They are wide
spread not only throughout the United
States, but everywhere, and will in all
probability remain so with occasional
fluctuations, at least i'm this country,
until President Cleveland calls IA session
of congress, and compels his party to
declare its policy. Urgent appeals are
being forwarded to the president from
all parts of the United States to convene
congress. This he refuses to do. 1t is
supposable that his reasons for refusing
are satisfactory, at least to himself. In
the meantime the business men of New
Whatcom must exercise their patience,
unless some question of. purely
local interest arises, and then, in the
immortal language of Colonel de There,
let them "get in and drill"

In the appointment of George f.
Atkinson, of New Whatcom, and II. b.
Bateman, of Fairhaven, as members of
the board to locate a site for the What
com county state normal school, Gov
ernor McGraw has followed a wise
course. These gentlemen are pre-em-
inently well qualified for the duties
imposed upon them, and may be relied
upon to forget all local preferences in
their selection of site for the school.
Had the law required third member,
Lynden would doubtless have received
recognition at the hands of the gov
ernor, as he was very favorably inn
pressed with the representations from
that section. 1t is but courtesy to
County Clerk Peirce to state that upon
his arrival in the city, Governor Nc
Graw fully expected to appoint Mr..
Peirce as a member of the board, he
having received a petition signed by a
large and representative number of the
influential residents of the Bay and
county, requesting Mr.. Peirce's APP
pointment, but realizing that some
question might be raised as to the wis
dom of having both members from the
same location, Mr.. PIERCE generously
declined the honor and insisted that
someone be appointed from another
part of the county to which the gov
ernOr consented. Mr.. II. b. Bateman,
of Fairhaven, who was the unqualified
and unanimous choice of every resi-
dent Of the city who could be consulted
on the subject, and who may be relied
upon to give fair and impartial devo-
ton to the duties imposed upon him,
was appointed.

The Children's home of Fairhaven is
worthy institution and is deserving
Of the fullest support not only of the
residents of the Bay cities but also of
the entire county as well as the coun-
ties of San Juan and Skagit, as it is in
tended to cover the requirements of
these three counties. Quite number
of needy children are finding the COM
forts of home at the institution, and
the lady managers are finding consid-
cradle difficulty:in keeping it supplied
with bedsteads, cribs, bed clothing and
the other essentials of well regulated
home. Reference is made to the needs
of the home in the local columns of to-
days issue, but the demands are inn
perative, and it is to be earnestly hoped
that those who are able to make con-
tributions to this worthy institution will
not hesitate to send in their names,
which will be gladly received at the
HERALD Office.

The Geary Chinese law, though it may
not be enforced in this country, is al
ready doing its mischief in China, where
our missionaries and merchants are es-
tablished. If these are mobbed and
murdered from time to time, as has al
ready been done in some parts of the
Chinese empire, no one need be sur
prised. In the province where Amer
lean missionaries have one of their main
strongholds an antiforeigner society has
been formed among the natives, violent
tracts are circulated, and songs are sung
appealing to the mob spirit among the
Chinese to rise and rid their land Of the
hated white men.

The Swimmers.

If one were asked where the best
swimmers in this country are found, he
would probably reply, ION the Atlantic
coast" Yet he would be mistaken.
The swimming experts are those who
learned the art in the interior states in
fresh water 1t is 50 much more diff
cult to keep ones self at the surface in
fresh water that when the country lad,
who learned to swim in the shallow lit
tie creek or river inland, comes to try his
powers in the dense water of the sea he
floats like duck and distances the salt
water boys without trouble.
1t has been observed that the people of
the south and southwest very generally
can swim, while the greatest number of
persons who cannot are found in New
England. Why is it; One would hard
ly guess at first that the reason is mat
ter of climate. In spite Of the fact that
Newport and Bar Harbor and Old Or
chard beach are on the New England
coast, the waters of that coast are too
cold for the swimmer TO remain in them
with comfort for any length of time.
Hours of soaking do not seem to injure
one in the warm waters of the gulf and
southern Atlantic states. but in Maine
and Massachusetts, little of it really
goes a good ways.
What we started out to say, however,
was this: Learn to swim this summer
if you do not already know how, wheth.
er you are man, woman, boy or girl.
The drowning season is in full sweep.

often exchanges interesting clippings.
The latest bit received at this office was
the following, cut from a small paper
published in North Dakota: 1.-THE many
friends of Mrs E. will be pleased TO
learn that she is not in serious danger, as
the shock is not so severe as at first sup
posed. The particulars of the unfortu-
nate affair are interesting. 1t seems that
Mrs. E. while going up stairs saw a
mouse run behind a barrel. Her cries
were heard by the hired man, who has
tened to the scene. armed with his gun
and followed by his faithful bulldog.
Mrs. F. then took courage and poked
the barrel with her broom. The mouse
ran out. the dog started in pursuit, the
hired man fired. the dog dropped dead,
Mrs. E. tainted, and the hired man,
thinking he had killed her, and that he
would be arrested for murder, took to
his heels and has not been heard of since.
The mouse escaped. Boston Budget.
