opium's Varied Effects.

Opium produces more varied and op
Iosite effects upon the human system than
any known drug. Even in small doses it
will act ON the same individual as slim
ulant and as a sedative, as an astringent or
laxative, and in large doses to those who
are habituated to its use it acts as pow
erful stimulant or even intoxicant, such in
toxication being followed by muscular re-
Taxation and mental torpor. The action of
most drugs, or at least of very many, varies
according to the dose which is admins
tered, thus ipecacuanha will act as an
emetic in large doses, but If given in small
quantity will arrest sickness. Ammonia
will cause or arrest sickness, according to
the quantity taken, while many drugs
which in small doses will operate as febri
fuges will in large doses induce fever

An Electrical Retouoher.

Photographers have lately introduced q
pencil for use in retouching negatives
which is rapidly revolved by small cleo
tro motor, so that the point of the pencil
spins and is rubbed on to any spot by
simply moving the point gently over in any
desired direction, thus doing away with the
necessity Of the tiresome, confined motion
of the operators hand. A German idea in
this line which possesses merit consists in
fixing the negative of the photograph in a
frame, which is vibrated rapidly by an
electromagnetic apparatus. Mention is
made also of still later device of this
kind of English origin, in which the pencil
point is very rapidly vibrated through an
exceedingly small stroke by simple cleo
tro-magnetic contact breaker, so that the
pencil has only to be guided by the opera
tor, while the electromagnetic performs the
necessary rubbing at an exceeding rapid
rate-about 1000 strokes per minute.-New

Ocean Depths.

A newspaper item announcing the ar
rival of the United States fishery steamer
Albatross at Victoria, b. c., says that YES
sci claims to have made the deepest sea
soundings ever known off the coast of Alas
ka.
The depth reached was $500 fathoms.
There is mistake somewhere. Either the
Albatross is reported wrongly or those Civ
ing the information are a bit "off" as far
as past records are concerned
A depth of $500 fathoms is less by 81
fathoms than at one place north of Porto
Rico and 155 fathoms short of another ly-
ing off the northeast coast of Japan.-Re

AN INTRUSION.

The brougham that whirls us from the play
Has only seats for two;
Deep in your furs you rest; distract
silent sit by you
And take in mine the listless hand
do not dare to press
And dream still can hear the band
In Waldteufel's "Tendresse."
But as we pass a line of light
see your pale, proud face,
A cloud like that of winter night
Shrouding its nameless grace.
-
And in your lovely, longin.; eyes
Like violets wet with rain -
The look of those who agonize
Through years of bitter pain.
Why do you turn to me and smile
Through deepening mists Of tears2
Would you with that pretense beguile
My life of its dark fears2
AS In my corner back lean,
Your heart is all revealed;
The phantom of what might have been
Kisses the hand yield.
The brOugham holds three instead of two,
The lover, long years dead,
Usurps place, escorting you,
Silent and gaunt and dread.

EH-Sherif Of Ulster County
Hon. David Winnie Owes His Health to
DR. David Kennedy's FavOTIte Remedy.

Hon. David Winnie Owes His Health to
DR.. David Kennedy's FavOrIte Remedy.
SHANDAKEN, n. Y.-One of the most
prominent men in Ulster county is the
Hon. David Winnie of this town. His
reputation is not confined alone to this
county. where he held the office of sher-
i'll for three years; he was alsu this dis
trlct representative in the New York
State Legislature. For years Mr.. Whine
has been suffering from complicated
case of kidney and bladder trouble and
congestion of the liver.
Upon the advice of friends he decided
to try DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy.
He was not disappointed, for in a short
while after he began its use, he was in
better health than he had been in years
before.
In speaking of FavOlite Remedy to
your correspondent, Mr.. Winnie said:
1T has done mole for me than all the
physicians l eyer employed, and l most
unhesitatingly recommend it to any one
suffering from kidney or liver or urinary
troubles, for it will relieve their suffer
ing and cure them"
DR.. Kennedy's FaYorite Remedy is to-
day the acknowledged specific for all dis
eases arising from acidity of the blood,
and will cure dyspepsia, rheumatism,
! kidney, liver and urinary troubles. scrof-
ula, eczema, and all ailments brought
about by this cause.
In recent issue of New York Medi-
cal Journal, DR.. w. II. Morse, F. b. S.,
of the New York City Medical Institute,
says: 81 must endorse DR.. Kennedy s
Favorite Remedy, for have knowledge
of its efficiency
Rev. | w. Hill, Past + Methodist
Church of Accord, N. Y, says: Il have
used Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,
and it cured me OF blood disease, and !
can speak of it in the highest terms"
No man or woman can afford to trifle
with health and life. Putting off treat
ment when dangerous symptoms exist, is
only slow suicide. To avoid their fatal
effect, there is but one way. and that is
by the aid of DR.. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy; it has restored thousands to
health and strength. Try it and be con.

Australian Sheen Become Hairy,

High prices are sometimes paid by Aus
tralian sheep growers for thoroughbred
rams A breeder named Russell once gave
5000 for an animal bred in Victoria. This
is because Australian bred sheep when in
bred for three or four generations, lose their
wool and become hairy. A somewhat sim
liar change is observed in rabbits. To
check this tendency sheep herders import
thoroughbred rams and pay almost any
price.-London Truth.

that "The parties owning the bank res de

such wealthy capital SITS are unknown

The Persistence of the Tramp.
NORTH American Rsuie,o.

1t is the fashion of "labor" orators to aft rm
that tramps are rapidly Increasing in number
under prevailing industrial conditions, and
even such writer as Henry George has esti-
mated them at millions" in this country
alone. OF course no proof of the tremendous
multiplication is offered, for there is none to be
had. doubt il there are so many tramps in
proportion to eur population as there were so
years. and my doubt is founded on tho notori-
Gus facts that the workingman's wages have
more than doubled in that time and the cost of
almost everything that the workingman has to
buy has been reduced nearly one-half In
other words, an hours labor will buy. and
actually does buy, three times as much as it
would buy so years ago. In regard to "tramps"
only one thing is nsw-that is, the name The
very same genus was known to my mother but
she called them "codgers"; the very same
genus was known to my grandmother, but she
called them "shaeks." What my great grand
mother called them l do not know, but doubt
not that the professional FOUNDERS were as
common then as now. There were no "tramps
then, because the name was not invented till
our armies were disbanded. There were no
"dudcs" then, either, but there have been
daDdies swells. fops, beaux, aud exquisites scat
tered plentifully down the centuries. Names
change; the thing persists.

s4itooaG Gazette. ]


An incident that has probably never appeared
in print WIS related by Hon. Schuyler CoIfax
regarding Abraham Lincoln. It was during
the dark days of 1863, the evening of a
public reception given at the White House.
The foreign legations were there, gathered
about the staiwart form Of the great Presi-
dent
Ayoung nobleman, one of England's finest" +"
was doing" the country. and was just being
presented to tire President. Inside the door,
evidently overawed by the splendid assemblage,
was an honest faced old farmer, who shrauk
from the passing crowd until he and the plain
faced old lady clinging to his arm were pressed
back to the wall The President, tall and in a
measure stately in his personal presence, look
ing over the heads of the assembly, said to the
English nobemau: "Ezcuse me, Eiy lord,
there old friend of mine"
Passing back kward to the door, Mr.. Lincoln
said. as he grasped the old farmers hand
Why John. Pm glad to you; haven't
you since you and made rails for old
Mrs - in Sagamon County in 16i7. How
are yOuI"
The old man turned to his wife with culver.
ing lip and without replying to the Presidents
sautation said: Mother, he's just the same
Old Abel"
"Mr. Lincoln" he said finally. "you know
we had three boys; they all enlisted in the
same company. John was killed in the seven
days nght;t sam WcS taken prisoner and
starved to death. and Henry is in the hospital
We had little money. and / said: Mother,
we'll go to Washington an see him An while
we were here l said we'll 60 up and see the
President"
Mr.. Lincoln's eyes grew dim, and across the
rugged, homely tender face swept the wave
of sadness his friends had learned TO know,
and he said: John, we all hope this miser-
able war will soon bs over. / must see all
these folks here for AN hour or SO, and / want
to talk with you" The old lady and her hus-
band wero hustled into private room in spite
of all their protests, aud the greatest man of
any age showed he had never felt himself above
the common people who made him.
