There is no use walking the floor
with felon, says a gentleman who
has had some experience in that di-
rection. Wrap cloth loosely around
the felon leaving the end open. Pour
gunpowder in the end and shake it
down until the felon is covered. Then
keep it wet with camphor In two
hours the pain will be relieved and a
perfect cure will surely follow.

sorts of seals. pups, mothers and every
thing slse,. II this be true. the Antarctic
sealing grounds will soon become de-
populated as badly as those off Cape
Horn. New Zealand was q great sealing
ground up to 1860. but its rookeries now
afford no living at all to the seal hunter !;
and while Alaska is really the best of
the worlds sealing grounds, her tim Der
is more valuable than her seal rook-
cries.
OF course there will be no war between
England and Norway over tritiing
matter of this kind. There will be ar
hitration, however, with a possibility OF
the United States being made one of
the refeeres. Certainly ii it was right
to restrict sealing in American waters to
American vessels exclusively, the same
principle should hold good IN British
waters against other nationalities. The
question will probably be settled by an
international conference, and that with
in few months.

CULVER OTIS AND THE LILLIPUTs.

1t is we'll known that the newsboys of
this city have organized themselves into
a union, in imitation of the "boys OF
larger growth" who have associated
themselves into unions for protection in
their respective calliEgs. A circular
before us. signed by the president and
the secretary of the Newsboys' union,
informs Us that such OF the boys as have
patronizsd the newsboys' homo have
been notified by the matron in charge OF
that institution that they must either
withdraw from the union or quit the
nome. Tho boys say in their circnlar
that they have unanimously decided to.
cult the home rather than submit to
libcrtse." The boys further say: "We
consider that We are paying nearly all
our keeping is worth. and are not
under any obligation to the asso-
ciation," i. O., 'home, that would inn
pei them to submit to this species OF
coercion. When the public are informed
that the "home," which is ostensibly q
public institution, but is really sup
ported in the main by the money paid
by the boys for their keeping has made
this coercive movement at the instiga-
tion OF tho editor of the Times. there is
no difficulty in accounting for the milk

ANOTHER FISHERY TROUBLE.

Scarcely has England gotten out of
her Bering sea fuss with the United
States. over the taking OF seals off the
Alaskan coast, than she gets into sn
other "blarstsd row" over the sam
question, this time with Norway. 1t
seems that some Norwegian whalers went
down to Macquarie island, several hun
dred miles south of Taa mania. locality
out of which the New Bedford and Nam
tucket whalers made colossal fortunes
in the early part of the century. There
they found but few whales, but great
many fur scale, which they butchered
right and left, throwing the skins on
the European market and breaking
down prices generally. Macquarie
island is recognized as part OF Tas-
mania for all judicial purposes.
When the Boring sea arbitration was
decided in favor of America, all the
American vessels accepted the syllabus
OF that decision in good faith and with
drew from the British waters eouth Of
the equator. They could not reason =
ably expect British vessels to relinqu h
poaching on the Alaskan coast if Ameri.
can vessels did the very same thing in
Tasmanian waters. So the American
vessels started off for Alaska by way oil
Japan and the Kurile islands, leaving
Macquarie island to the sons OF John
Bull.

FROM FULTON TO PIERCE.

The last number of the steamboat
mems magazine, "Seaboard, tells the
story OF the completion of the largest
steamer for inland passenger travel IN
the world. She is called the Priscilla"
and is owned by the Fall River Steam
boat line, and her chief designer ia Capt.
George Pierce. Her extreme dimensions
are 4401., feet over all, breadth OF beam

feet draft OF water. Her registered tom

York to Fall River, the frat eight miles
OF which lin and about the city, is linn
tied by law to 10 miles per hour, after
which she increases her speed 80 as to
make the entire trip in 10 hours.
In her propulsion Capt. Pierce has dis
carded the beam engine, and the only
wonder is that it has not been done be-
fore. AS single engine the beam was
comparatively economical and required
the least repairs of any engine known.
But as soon as they began applying the
compound principle to it the unequal
strain on the beam, where it connected
with the high pressure cylinder. caused
no end OF repairs. Therefore the beam
WAS thrown aside and double engines
were placed on each shaft below deck,

engines worked vertically. the cylinders

Reles to Pomona is but 33 miles, it will
be eesn that the thrifty professor gains
large, round silver dollar by reckoning
the distance to suit himself, and in utter
disregard of all the distance tables pub
lished by the railroad companies.
We have figured out that if the afore-
said gentleman will but keep the same
number of miles for the basis OF his
reckoning he will have the neat little
sum Of forty dollars per annum to the
credit of his system and for the remun-
GRAFTON of his bank account.

mona to Los Angeles at $3.50 for mile
age, while the real cost ia but $3.50, is q
good paying investment for any pro-
fessor of the tribe of Thrift.

$3.50 in the way OF mileage and $5 addi-
tional in the way of salary is consum-

The OMNIPRESRNr TEUTON.

You cannot keep down our cousin
Fritz. He will come to America, he will
work. he will save his money Gin spite
OF all the beer he drinks) and he will
build himself "howess" as he calls it.
This done. he sends back to the Father
land and brings out Gretchen or Kat
rina to help fill America with a thrifty
and energetic population.
Sir Thomas McIlwraith. prime min
ister of Queensland, ia now visiting in
London and was recently banqueted by
his friends. In the course OF his speech
ne was interrupted by a question as to
whom ne deemed the most desirable
colonista. His view OF the prop osition
was that while the British can admin
lister the affairs OF colony to the salts
faction OF all concerned, yet in the mat.
ter of colonizing, the Teuton holds the
first place.
''Olr best colonists are the Germans,"
replied Sir Thomas, warming up to his
subject. "Aud will tell you the rea-
son why. The Englishmsn, the Scots
man. and the Irish man come out, and
the great am btion is to fnd a master
who will give them 10s. a day for eight
hours' work. But the German seiz es
upon bit OF land and keeps back in the
country, perhaps for long tins. and
the first time you make his acquaintance
is when he coma. into one OF the towns
dressed in very good suit of Sunday
clothes and driving buggy. We are
very glad to get Germane."
What ia true OF the German colonists
at the antipodes is true also of those
that come to America They do not
hang about the large cities, in waiting
for positions as policemen, but put their
hands to the plow at once. The wealth
OF every nation depends upon its pro.
portion OF people who are content to
live outside OF the city.

lied German was old Martin Anschutz,
the Cincinnati machinist. On one oc-
cssion county treasurer became de-
faulter for large sum and most OF the
money stolen consisted Of school funds.
There was not dollar OF the public
money left for the dis trict in which Mr..
Anschutz's foundry was situated. He
at once went out and hired two teachers
at his own expense and put them to
work to teach the children OF his work
men; and it is quite unnecessary to say
that there were no strikes in the An
schultz machine shops.
Fritz has evidently come to stay, here
and elsewhere. His wooden-soled shoes
are tramping through the dust Of South
ern Africa and Australasia, just as they
did through America sixty years ago
before there were any railroads here. A
recent visit to New York BY member
OF the HERALD's staff, revealed the fact
that all the great commercial firms OF
fifty years ago hsd either gone out OF ex-
istence altogether or were changed into
new names with an invariably Teutonic
flavor. This is because the young men
of New York who have inherited
wealth, as rule, have given themselves
up to lives of pleasure and Incidence,
leaving the business to be transacted by
confidential clerks who have been SUBJ
sequsntly admitted to partnership.
The German element figures very largely
in this successful class OF modern busi-
ness mnu.
