Popularity of New Medicines.

From time to time some form of treat
ment for disease or some medicine be-
comes suddenly popular. Physicians OF
repute give their testimony and record
their belief in the new specific, and the
patients who have been benefited mani.
fest that strange enthusiasm to get 9TH
ers into trying their remedy which is SC
marked characteristic Of the average
man and woman. The newspapers find
out the latest craze, and reporters be-
come learned in many long words tech

the body or Ct the action on these of the
new treatment.
For time he who reads or listens to
the talk of Others would believe that The
elixir has been found at last-that elixir
of which Pythagoras dreamed and which
Lord Bacon thought might exist. the
wonderful cure all which is to vanquisl,
every disease-and then, within six
months, Il year, two years at most. the
new remedy has been forgotten or has
sunk into a modest place in the pharma-
cop9ia, and the new treatment is old
and of small respect. The part which
medical men play in putting these fads
into prominence and reputc is a most
important one. Without their connte-
nance and Endorsement nothing could be
done. That they SO countenance and in
dorse them may be attributed to several
causes, some inherent in medical science

Evolution OF the Lecture.

Editor Charles Dudley Warner con-
tributes to Harper's Monthly an enter
tanning dissertation on the. transforma-
tions that have taken Place in the pop
ular lecture since it first started on its
rounds. 1t originated of course in New
England. The Puritans were accus-
toned to meet for "midweek lecture"
The evening lecture, popular for many
years, was an attempt to instruct as
well as reform the outside sinners who
could not be held by the old fashioned
sermon. Accordingly the lecture was
and still Is often given in churches
Frequently it is accompanied by stereop-
ticon views. This, however, was the
second stage in the evolution of the lee
ture. In its early days it was merely
an essay, often learned and scholarly,
sometimes otherwise, and it was read
in a dignifed manner, without attempt
at humor. This was realizing literally
the idea Of instruction.
But the age became more giddy. 1t
finally voted the instructive lecture as
great bore as the old fashioned sermon
and clamored for amusement. Then the
lecture evolved into sort of variety
show, with music, recitation and magic
lantern pictures. This oustcd the real
lecture, but it would not be killed. 1t
specialized itself, and the professor who
had something particular to say about
art, science, hygiene, the industries, ETC.,
won field anew, though not SO extern
sive as the old one had been. One thing
Mr. Warner does not say, however, and
that is that as long as there are speakers
who are eloquent and magnetic just SO
long will the world be glad to hear them
lecture, and they can earn goodly sums
of money.
Mr.. Warner thinks the lecture of the
| future will be more in the nature of a
brilliant talk about some SUBJECT of
which the speaker is full. In brief, the
new demand of an audience on a lecturer
will be spontancity. He may and should
prepare his subject carefully and con it
over. SO as to be familiar with its head
ings, but if he cGn train himself TO let
his spoken words DO those that come to
him at the moment, ike new struck
coins, he will chain tho attention of his
hearers as o speaker can do in no other
way. Thiswiil require u peculiar talent
and much hard woII ard practice; but,
in the words Ct Gr. Warner, "is there
any reason Why ;sla.n who is not able
sAot.l.i lectu.~.." :" Net If We know it.

The Women Suffragists :,


HARDwICK, June 30.-The annual
meeting of the Vermont Woman's Suf-
frage association, in session here this
week, adopted the following resolutions
before adjournment
Whereas, We, the Vermont Wom-
ans Suffrage association, in convention
assembled, recognize God as our leader
and accept the principles taught in the
Sermon of the Mount as our creed;
and
Whereas, Governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned, and women are governed; taxa
ton without representation is tyranny,
and women are taxed; therefore,
Resolved, That we deplore the pres
ent subordinate condition of women in
church and state as wicked injustice
to woman-hood and an unwarrantable
usurpation altogether unworthy of the
utilization of the 10Th century
Whereas, Women now have full
suffrage in the state of Wyoming, mu-
nicipal suffrage in Kansas and Michi-
gan, and unmarried women and widows
have municipal suffrage in England
and Scotland and many of the British
provinces, and school suffrage in 81
states and territories; therefore,
Resolved, That in this progress the
cause has already made we recognize
the leading hand of Providence; and in
this large acceptance of the principles
of equal rights we see promise of the
ultimate triumph of our cause;
Resolved, That we do hereby present
congratulations to the Woman's Suf-
frage association Of Michigan on hav-
ing secured from their legislature law
extending full municipal suffrage to
women, and for the generous vote given
the bill by the legislature.
Resolved, That we hereby tender
our sincere thanks and high apprecia-
tion to the members of both houses of
the Vermont legislature Of '92. who
favored and voted for the bill granting
municipal suffrage to women.
Resolved, That as an organization
and Individually we will use our in
fiuence to elect men for our next leg
islature who are favorable to equal suf-
frage, and we do heartily indorse the
''enrollment plan and recommend a
vigorous prosecution of this work in our
own state.
The resolutions we're signed by G..
L. Story, Laura Moore and Elizabeth
Colley.

Hiring Hand Organs.

The music Of the great Italian com
poser, Verdi, enjoys a high degree oi
popularity. One form which its popu
larity takes is its frequent application tc
hand organs and piano organs, which
grind upon Verdi's music until the com
poser himself is almost compelled to re.
gret that he over wrote it.
One summer not many years ago Verdi
went for season of rest to the noun.
tain resort of Montecaliere. Here q
friend called upon him and noticed be-
fore he entered that Verdi had taken q
rather pretentious apartment.
But when he entered the house he was
astonished to find that the composer was
using Il single room of the FLAT" as sit.
ting room, dining room and bedroom.
Tho visitors looks expressed his sur.
prise at this arrangement.
"Oh," said Verdi, II have two more
large rooms here, but they are just now
occupied with some objects which have
hired for the season."
He opened the doors of these rooms
and revealed to the visitor great pile
of hand organs-apparently 100 of them
at least.
"These organs" said Verdi, contain
i'll their repertories music of my own.

We have been time and again

asked the question why the Chiffon
Paints have such high gloss. The
Chiffon Paint Co. in buying linseed
oil, contracts for "prime, well-settled,
old-fashioned, raw linseed OIL" This
is, being Interpreted, oil crushed from
prime or first quality faxseed and
which has been tanked and allowed
to settle. The oil is then drawn from
the upper part of the tank, leaving
undisturbed the lower part. "Old-
fashioned linseed oil'' is from seed
crushed and pressed instead of re-
cent method called the naptha pro-
cess. Having obtained this oil, the
Chiffon Co. tank it again, and the oil
gradually loses what little moisture it
originally possessed and becomes very
heavy bodied. 1t is this cause and
the seven mixings and grindings CIV
en- each shade, crushing and grinding
each particle of pigment into each
particle of oil hatproduces the lustre.
On well painted houses this gloss
alone has been known to last three
years; ordinarily the gloss on newly
painted houses where common paints
are used vanishes in from six months
to one year.
