THEM MONOPOLIES.
How Councilman Mccarthy Would Get
Square With One.
Pulled On by Seeming Arraignmcnt
of Electric Roads He Onered q
Funny Resolution In the Council.

The "blarsted monopolies" such as the
Union Railroad Company, Narragansett
Electric Light Company, Providence
Telephone Company, Providence Gas
Company and the like have had no
more more xsaious and uncompromising foe
Ward q. In season and ont of season, he
has been actively. engaged in unearthing
statistics and seeking to detect diabolical
intrigues where the rights of the citizens
staggering under the heavy burden
OF taxation, have been trampled
upon and made as naught
This Unsuitable antagonism has cost him
his seat in the Common Council and in
the House of Representatives at stated
intervals, but defeat at the
polls has served to stimulate him
TO redoubled zeal and though countless
bills, resolutions, amendments and type
written speeches have met with summary
rejection, he has pegged away and
can be counted upon to enter his protest
on the slightest provocation. His belliger-
ency reached its climax Monday night
when he got hold of a newspaper Clipping
which he had not perused but was craftily
led to believe was calculated to
remedy the glaring deficiencies in the
operation OF the trolley cars and con-
tribute to the comfort, safety and con-
svenience OF the travelling pub
lie. He made desperate
effort TO have 1t read at the
eleventh hour but was sat down upon.
Then he had it referred to the committee
on railroads which subsequently
reported 1T, without recommendation,
p. j. then called for the reading and no
sooner had the clerk read a half dozen
lines than the statesman dropped to his
awkward predicament. He admitted that
he had not sized up the communication,
and, in justice to the Council, he
moved its consignment to the waste
basket: President Sellew promptly re-
ferred IL TO Councilman Mccarthy which
be may have intended as the designated
receptacle. The clipping, as will be
seen, Is the product OF some con-
scionless wag who utilized one of the
Boston papers in the publication of his
Utopian scheme. Ii Is surprising that
Z did not meet with the statesman's en-
iorsement.

A Sweat always acts admirably in
any kind of cold, and if not brought
about by exercise it ought to be pro-
duced by some of the many other means
known to housekeepers. If the cold is
in the head the following treatment
promises well: Add teaspoonful of
powdered camphor to a pitcher of boil
ing water. Over this place cone made
of thick paper or pasteboard, and hold
the nose and mouth over the small OPEN
ing. The vapor arising from the water
is charged with cainphor, and will
speedily relieve many of the disturbing
symptoms. 1t should be inhaled for
four or five minutes at a sitting, and
three such treatments are usually suf-
ficient to arrest the most rebellious 'scold
in the head
But many of the victims of this trouble
must be out and about. A snuff is moro
convenient for them. A very good one
can be made up as follows: Menthol
three grains; powdered boracic acid, one
dram; subnitrate of bismuth and pow
der benzoin, each ~ drains. A good
sized pinch may be snuffed up five or sis
times day.-Hall's Journal of Health.

Protection by smoke from Frost.

Experiments in the making of arti-
fetal clouds for the preservation of
plants from the effects of frost took
place yesterday in the Jardin d'Accli-
matation, under the auspices of the
Agricultural society. Masses of resin.
GUS matter in boxes of pinewood were
set alight, and soon gave off dense
volumes of smoke. This was expected
TO produce the required nebulosity, but
it failed to rise to the level of the situ-
alton, and was blown away in the d.
rection of the seal pond. Experiments
OF a similar kind have been tried with
more success in the Gironde VINEYARDS
The proceedings in the Jardin d'Accli-
matation were watched by several staff
officers, who wished to see if the new
invention could be utilized for military
purposes, such as the masking of ex-
posed troops Or batteries in time of war.

The Christian Name.

The term christian name" is used in
England and America only. "Baptismal
name" is used in other countries. The
terms seems to have been used first after
the reformation, when Biblical names
were used as reaction against the use
of the saints names in the calendar. It
is evident that all Biblical names are not
Christian, but the reaction went SO far
as to consider everything in the Bible as
Christian and everything not in the BIZ
BILE as pagan or certainly nonchristian.-
