Curious Trick With Billiard Balls.


People who play billiards, as we'll as

against the cushion, and and push it
against the balls still in line. You

Wash Out Your Mouth.

The New York Herald calls editorial
attention to the Importance of an anti
septic treatment of the mouth as a
preventive Of disease. Inquisitive
physicians have found secreted in the
folds OF the mucus membrane Of the
mouth the microbes of pneumonia,
measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria,
and say that more pathogenic germs
can be found there than in any other
part of the body, and to prevent their
entering the system germ-destroying
dentifrice should be constantly en-
ployed, especially after eating. NJ.
Unna, OF Hamburg, recommends
finely powdered chlorate OF potash as a
more effective germicide than the
tooth-powders and mouth-washes sold
by the druggists, but the Heralds
medical correspondent thinks that
chlorate of soda is much better, as it
has all the therapeutical properties OF
potash, is much more soluble and q
great deal less poisonous. Few people
know, what is nevertheless fact, that
the chlorate of potash, especially with
children, is liable to cause serious
gastric trouble.

WILSON SPEAKS ON THE TARIFF
COngressman DoOlittle, of Wash.
ingion, interrupts Him, Bnt Is
SquelChed.

|
In the House OF Representatives
on Tuesday, VIM. L. Wilson made a
forcible speech on the tariff bill. In
referring to the unfair protests of cap.
italists and monopolists against the
pending bill, he stated that employees
were forced and frightened into sus-
tanning protected industries, and al.
luded to the time when the effort was
made to abolish slavery in the South
and when petitions came from large
nnmher OF slaves thAtit might he oon-
tinued. At this point Congressman
Doolittle, of this State, jumped to his
feet and asked:
"And do you compare the laboring
men of this country to the slave ele-
ment of the South?"
Wilson, think such a question
would not be asked by any one above
the intelligence Of slave. Cloud and
prolonged applause on Democratic
side.)
Much confusion followed Wilson's
answer. Doolittle said he did not
catch the answer, and asked that it be
repeated, with the evident purpose OF
making protest against it.
Wilson, desire to be courteous to
every member in this debate, 80 l will
now withdraw the answer ! gave the
gentleman.
Reed of Maine-But you can't with.
draw the Democratic applause. Oaugh-
ter.)
Wilson's peroration was forcible and
eloquent and began with reference to
the legend which he said had always
been inscribed on the Democratic ban
ner, Equal rights to all and special
privileges to to none." The people
had brought the Democratic party
into power on the broad principle OF
equal justice to all. That the Dem.
ocratic party may continue in power
we will plant the banner here. We
mean to have fight, and will call
every true believer in Democracy to
rally to our side. Let us labor for a
country free to all, equal to all, with
opportunity planted in every home, in
every humble freside in the land.
After Wilson had taken his seat,
Doolittle still seemed anxious to quar-
rel. and made some sighting remark
regarding Wilson's associations before
the war, but this ended the incident,
and Barrows, of Michigan, took the
floor in reply to Wilson.

with 1872 per cent, or nearly II in

ported liabilities in excess of theil
abtual assets amounting to $403,O0O,.
600, in round numbers, or nearly four
