The New York Commercial Bulletin still
calls on President Harrison to urge on
Congress a r,peal Of the Sherman law
with so much force as TO compel action
thereon. The President in his last mes
sage distinctly suggested that all financial
legislation be left to the next Congress,
and perhaps that is the reason why he
perslstently remains client regarding this
measure. II he allows the Sherman bill
to be repealed by the rext Congress. how
ever. he will be playing directly into the
hands Of the Democratic party, because
the people. in indorsing the Democratic
platform, declared, with that platform.
that the Sherman bill was a "cowardly
makeshift." fraught with danger to the
country. II the incoming Democratic ad-
ministraton effects a repeal Of this OBJ
noxious act, therefore. II will respect the
will OF the people. and the Democratic
party will be established thereby more
fully than ever in public confidence.

Some active and imaginative Republi-
can has suggested that a new State be
formed out of the Northern sections OF
Michigan. Wisconsin and Minnesota. &c
be called Superior. because 1t would
fringe the lower boundary Of the great
lake of that name. This is indeed bril-
liant conception; but the genius that
originated IT will be dead long time be-
fore the Republican party will ever gain
two additional United States Senators
from that source.

JOHNNY DAyENPORTIsM.

1t Is not to be expected that the pres
ent Congress. with its Republican Senate,
will pass a bill repeating all statutes re-
lating to the Federal supervision Of cleo
tions-in other words. Daveportism. These
Statutes were placed in the Federal law
books by the Republican party for the ex-
press purpose of enabling that party to
carry elections. In spite of the will Of the
voters, and therefore II would be UNI
reasonable to expect a Republican Senate
President to sanction its action. even II 1t
should. miraculously, become fair-minded
enough to pass a repeating measure.
The Democratic Congress. which is COM
ing into power. however, will be very likely
to promptly look after these pernicIous
laws. which have enabled Davenport to
disgrace the Republic. The first duty OF
that Congress will be to restore the
States to full control Of their own cleo
tons, and give them their constitutional
rights. which they enjoyed before Johnny
Davenport and men like him were clothed
with authority to make livings for them
selves by interfering with elections, and
forcibly subverting popular government.
When these laws have been repealed,
and such men as Davenport are compelled
to make an honest living in a legitimate
way. then the country will breathe more
freely than 1t has done for a long time.
because one Of the most serious me-
naces to popular liberty with which the
country has ever been threatened will be
removed.

DOCTORS AND cLERoyMEN:-

The Former M1ch tho 6Aortsr LIVED. Their
AEduous work Being tho Cause.
The deaths Of several well-known
medical practitioners lately at ages
but little beyond the middle period of
life have given q shock to good many
of their professional brethren. And
no wonderl One of the first things a
doctor naturally aims at is the preserva-
ton of his own health and life. If he
cannot keep himself alive and well, the
prospect is certainly not encouraging
for his patients It is commonly be-
heved that doctors are short-lived
class Is the popular belief well found
ed? 1t is, according to the London
Hospital, only too well founded. In
his "Vital Statistics" DIR. Arthur
Newsholme informs us that of every
1000 clergymen between the ages of IS
and G5 only 1. % die annually. But of
every 1000 doctors between the ages of
IS and 65 no fewer than 29.O3 Gle every
year: That is to say, the mortality of
medical men is almost double that of
clergymen. And the rate is increasing.
Twenty years ago it was only "a instead
of %. These are facts to make us
pause. They seem to throw an ugly
doubt upon the competency Of our pro
fessional skill. It may perhaps be
argued that clergymen are financially
more prosperous than medical men;
but that would be quite fallacious, be-
cause DR.. Newsholme includes in his
clerical class the ministers of all tho
nonconforming denominations; and,
class for class, there is no doubt that
medical men are much better off than
the body of clergymen rs thus consti-
tuted. What is the reason, then, for
this portentous death roll2 1t is to be
found in the arduous nature of the doc
tors daily work. But then the doctor
knows the righteousness of his work,
and if he had faith in physiology he
would counterfeit the effect of that
righteousness by more holidays and by
combining with his fellow doctors to
diminish the killing strain. This is a
matter which is generally talked about
and then dropped.

HOW TO WIN At EUcHRE.

A Louisville Player Gives the Secret of
Her Success Last Winter.
There are Us many superstitious peo-
pie in the world to-day as there ever
were, says the Louisville Courier-J our
nal, and the belief in signs, charms and
o0ens has by no means passed away.
A charming young married woman
won almost all of the prizes at the pro-
gressivc cuchre parties she attended
last winter. She plays well, but, as a
friend told her. "the best players have
to hold good cards to win" At the end
of tae season she tald what she Thinks
has been the cause of all her luck 81
never fail to cut my finger nails before
breakfast every Monday morning." she
said, "and t!Oat is nay magical charm
against bad luck for tao whole week"
A pretty little woman, WIS was visit
ing here frora neighboring town,
locked adrairingly at her own dninty
fingers and anxiously inquired eff
filing would not de Us well, for cutting
the nails injuries t1cn Co." but the
lucky one was positive it would not,
and tAe pretty nalIs wouIa nave to be
sacrificed If their owner wished to win.
Ono of the best women know shows a
piece of silver to t.,c new In son each
nonta, and if she las to turn bacl,
after she starts anywhere she carefully
spits before she sets out again. The
most cherished possession Of one of the
most successful singers now on the
stage is pair of old stockings she wore
on the night of her greatest triumph,
and she is so sure that SO long as they
remain with her SO long her Incl, will
last that she would part sooner with
her costhest gems than with these worn
silk hose. 1t is said the late Mr.. Bel
mont would bet heavily if fight of
birds crossed his path while he was on
his way to the race course. And so on,
from high to low, everyone has pet
superstition carefully hidden away or
laughingly confessed.

Excusablo Ignorance.

tits often said that one of the best
ways of learning n thing is TO teach it
to others; but the rule does not al
ways hold good. Says n correspondent
OF the Boston Transcript: One day my
brother went to buy a bushel of buck
wheat for sowing. The man of whom
he was to get it was away, but his wife
was at homo, and undertook to make
the sale. She got peck measure, and
they went To the granary. There the
woman filled the measure twice, poured
the contents into the bag, and was pro-
ceeding to tie it.
"But Mrs. r." said my brother,
cit takes four peclis to make bushel."
"oh, does it?" said she. "Well, you
see, I never had any experience in
measuring grain before was married.

Eas a Finger -Reduc:n, Patent.

The Patent Office has granted pat.
ent on device worthy of the ancient
Greeks. 1t is system OF fnger-taper-
ing and joint-reducing bands. The idea
is to make thimble-shaped bands of thin
and plant aluminium in sets of various
sizes to fit the fingers and thumbs, and
by wearing them at night gradually pro-
duce the slender and tapering digits SO
much admired by the fashionable half of
the world. The aluminium bands are
provided with rings which are crowded
down on the outside so as to compress
the fingers and drive the blood back to
any desired state of f.diminutiveness. The
letters patent do not state whether the
use of this new device is attended with
pain or not. 1t is said these bands have
been thoroughly tested by several of the
best known women of fashion in Wash
ington and New York, and they speak of
them in the highest terms of praise. The
leading merchant in cosmetics and toile t
articles in Chicago is forming stoc k
company to buy the patent and boo m
the finger taperer at the Worlds Fair.
The patentee says his idea will go lik e
wildfire, as have so many other inven :
tions to produce beauty, and he thinks
his patent is worth at least $50, ,000.-

Antiquity of the Saw.

The saw is an instrument of high an.
tiquliy, its invention being attributed to
either Dedalus or to his nephew Perdix,
also called Talos, who, having found the
jaw of a serpent and divided a piece of
wood with it, was led to initiate the
teeth in iron. In bass-relief pub
lished by Winckelmau, D@dalus is rep
resented holding saw approaching very
closely in form to the Egyptian saw. St.
jerome seems clearly to allude to the
circular saw, which was probably used,
as at present, in cutting veneers. There
are also limitations of the use of the Gen.
ire bit, aud even in the time of Cicero it
was employed by thieves. Pliny men,
tions the use of the saw in Ancient Bel
gium for cutting white building stone;
some of the oolitic and cretaceous rocks
are still treated in the same manner, both
in that part of the Continent and in the
south Of England. In this case Pliny
must be understood to speak of proper
or toothed saw. The saw without teeth
was then used just as it is now by the
workers in marble, and the place of
teeth was suppliei, /, according to tho
hardness of the stone, either by emery
or by various kinds of sand of inferior
hardness. In this manner the ancient
artifcers were able to cut slabs of the
hardest rock, which consequently were
adapted to receive the highest polish,
such as granite, porphyry, lapis-lazuli
and amethyst. Scientific American.
